Slideshow: ''Eva Hesse Studiowork'' at the ICA; Tory Fair's ''Testing a World View (Again)'' at the deCordova
This slideshow accompanies Greg Cook's review of "Eva Hesse Studiowork" at the ICA through October 10, 2011, and Tory Fair's “Testing a World View (Again)" at the deCordova Sculpture Park through April 29, 2012.
Eva Hesse at the ICA and Tory Fair at the deCordova
Hesse's ability to imbue her art with body and blood and gravity anticipated the kinder, gentler minimalism of today's Anish Kapoor, Rachel Whiteread, and Roni Horn, as well as the fleshy fairy-tale figures of Kiki Smith. Boston sculptor Tory Fair has descended from Smith's family tree, with glossy resin or lumpy rubber casts of her own nude body uncannily sprouting vines and flowers.
Catherine Opie and 'The Record' at the ICA
Catherine Opie first became known in the early '90s for blunt lesbian self-portraits and posed photos of the queer community.
The Floordlords celebrate 30 years
B-boys — b-girls had scant presence on this program — have gone commercial, but today's freestyle breaking technique builds on moves cut three decades ago (although a grainy Floordlords video indicates that the current generation has discarded stirrup pants for profanity-laced t-shirts).
Swoon indoors and out
Swoon is one of the most celebrated street artists in the US, so why does her wall of bugs and monsters inside the Institute of Contemporary Art feel so meh?
Review: Rubberbandance at the ICA
Hip-hop, in common with tap dancing, can look like a succession of tricks when it's not grounded by a story or a great personality.
Review: Caitlin Corbett, Daniel McCusker, and Kelley Donovan at the ICA
The title of Daniel McCusker's premiere at the Institute of Contemporary Art last weekend was Hidden Noise , but the sound template for the five works on the program was noise in plain earshot.
Boston Conservatory does Graham and Limón; Doug Varone gets literary at the ICA
One thing that distinguishes the early modern dancers from their contemporary descendants is idealism, or the lack of it.
