ASSIGNMENT DUE 9/30 MIDNIGHT

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING SITE VISIT AND WRITTEN RESPONSE BY SUNDAY 9/30 MIDNIGHT.

Visit the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) and see the exhibits, including:

MOMENTUM 8: DAVE MCKENZIE
Present Tense considers the possibilities, limits, and consequences of self-transformation.

ACCUMULATIONS
The second installation of the ICA's permanent collection, looks at how artists combine elements into experiences beyond measure.

BOURGEOIS IN BOSTON
Sculpture, prints, and drawings from one of the most influential living artists.

SANDRA AND GERALD FINEBERG ART WALL
Chiho Aoshima created a monumental, mind-bending mural for the ICA lobby.

Pick one or two pieces to write a one-page (about 400-500 words) written reaction. This should include who the artist is, the title of the piece, a summary of the materials used to create it --(is it a painting, video, sculpture, digital print, animation?) Describe the form, color, and composition; explore issues of gender or race representation, as we discussed in class. The writing should include your reflection on the piece, if it is effective, if and why you like it. To get a fuller idea of the artist’s intentions, be sure to read the text panel documentation next to the work as well as visit the Mediatheque (computer lab for patrons) and explore the interviews and writing about the artist you chose.
