Return Reference Explanation
PART III, LINE 1A: COLLECTIONS CONSIST OF WORKS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES AND SIMILAR ASSETS HELD AS PART OF A COLLECTION FOR THE PURPOSES OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH OR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, RATHER THAN FOR SALE OR FINANCIAL GAIN. COLLECTIONS WHICH WERE ACQUIRED THROUGH PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS SINCE THE ICA'S INCEPTION, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS DECREASES IN NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED, OR AS A DECREASE IN NET ASSETS WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS IF THE ASSETS ARE USED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS THAT ARE RESTRICTED BY DONORS. CONTRIBUTED COLLECTION ITEMS ARE NOT REFLECTED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES ARE REFLECTED AS INCREASES IN THE APPROPRIATE NET ASSET CLASSES. THE COLLECTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A POLICY THAT REQUIRES PROCEEDS FROM THEIR DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES TO BE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR COLLECTIONS. THE ICA PURCHASED TEN AND THREE PIECES OF ART FOR THE PERMANENT COLLECTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $627,815 AND $1,145,000 DURING THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023, RESPECTIVELY.
PART III, LINE 4: IN ACCOMPLISHING THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IN ART EDUCATION, CONTEMPORARY ARTWORKS FROM VARIOUS ARTISTS ARE EXHIBITED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
PART V, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S OPERATING EXPENSES AS DESIGNATED BY DONOR.
PART X, LINE 2: THE ICA IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(A) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3). ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ICA RECOGNIZES A TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE ICA'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ICA HAD NO MATERIAL UNCERTAINTIES IN INCOME TAXES AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE ICA IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S., FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE FILING DATE. THE ICA WILL ACCOUNT FOR INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY, AS PART OF TAX EXPENSE.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A BARBARA KRUGER NOVEMBER 3, 2022 - JANUARY 28, 2024 SANDRA AND GERALD FINEBERG ART WALL FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, BARBARA KRUGER (B. 1945 IN NEWARK, NJ) HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT, CRITICAL OBSERVER OF CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. IN THE EARLY 1980S, KRUGER PERFECTED A SIGNATURE STYLE OF WORDS AND IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MASS MEDIA AND RECOMPOSED INTO MEMORABLE, GRAPHIC ARTWORKS. HER ICONIC WORKS, SUCH AS UNTITLED (I SHOP THEREFORE I AM), 1987, AND UNTITLED (YOUR BODY IS A BATTLEGROUND), 1989, COMBINE CROPPED, BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES WITH PROVOCATIVE SHORT TEXTS PRINTED ON SOLID COLORED BARS. OFTEN THESE WORKS ADDRESS VIEWERS DIRECTLY WITH PERSONAL PRONOUNS - LIKE "YOU AND "ME" - WHILE CONFOUNDING CLEAR NOTIONS OF WHO IS SPEAKING. KRUGER'S PRODIGIOUS WORK HAS COME TO REPRESENT DEBATES ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS, IDENTITY, CONSUMERISM, AND CAPITALISM RAGING SINCE THE 80S. RIGOROUSLY COMPOSED, HER WORKS HAVE OCCUPIED A RANGE OF MEDIA AND SPACES, INCLUDING WALLS, BILLBOARDS, VIDEO PROJECTIONS, AND AN ARRAY OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS. SINCE THE 1990S, KRUGER HAS ALSO CREATED LARGE-SCALE INSTALLATIONS OF HER TEXT-BASED ART, TRANSFORMING LOBBIES, ELEVATORS, AND BUILDINGS WITH HER SIGNATURE AESTHETIC AND POINTED CONTENT. CONTINUING IN THIS VEIN, KRUGER WILL CREATE A BRAND-NEW WORK FOR THE ICA THAT SPEAKS, AS HER WORK HAS DONE FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES, TO CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL DYNAMICS. ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR AND DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS. MARIA BERRIO: THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE FEBRUARY 16, 2023 - AUGUST 6, 2023 FOTENE DEMOULAS GALLERY NEW YORK - BASED ARTIST MARA BERRIO (BORN 1982 IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA) CRAFTS HER LARGE-SCALE PAINTINGS THROUGH A UNIQUE, METICULOUS PROCESS OF COLLAGING TORN PIECES OF JAPANESE PAPER WITH WATERCOLOR TO CREATE RIVETING, MAGICAL SCENES. SPURRED BY CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL REALITIES, THE ARTIST LISTS POETRY, FOLKLORE, AND THE REALMS OF MAGIC AS HER SOURCES OF INSPIRATION TO IMAGINE ALTERNATIVE VIEWS OF PRESENT-DAY REALITIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE FACED BY MIGRANTS, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. THIS EXHIBITION WILL PRESENT A SELECTION OF NEW AND EXISTING WORKS FROM BERRIO'S SERIES THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE. THIS SERIES BLENDS THE HISTORY OF THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE OF 1212 WITH THE CONTEMPORARY MASS MOVEMENT OF PEOPLES ACROSS BORDERS. WHILE THE ACTUAL EVENTS OF THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE, IN WHICH THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, LEGENDS SAY, TREKKED THROUGH ITALY AND FRANCE TO CONVERT MUSLIMS TO CHRISTIANITY, CONTINUE TO BE A SUBJECT OF DEBATE AMONG HISTORIANS, LEGENDS OF MIRACLES AND TRAGEDIES HAVE INSPIRED AN ABUNDANCE OF STORIES, SONGS, AND ARTWORK OVER CENTURIES. BERRIO DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THESE DIVERSE SOURCES TO REFLECT ON THE CONTEMPORARY REALITIES FACING MIGRANTS AND UNACCOMPANIED MINORS TODAY. SOME OF HER WORKS REIMAGINE THE CHILD MIGRANT THROUGH SUCH FIGURES AS BIRDS AND HUMAN-ANIMAL HYBRIDS AND MEDITATE ON ISSUES OF FLIGHT, FREEDOM, CONTROL, AND PROTECTION. OTHER WORKS EVOKE DISPLACEMENT, LOSS, AND THE UNKNOWN THROUGH DETAILED LANDSCAPES AND NATURE SCENES. ENERGIZED BY THE CONTACT POINT BETWEEN REALITY AND MAGIC, THE ARTIST FRAMES HER EXHIBITIONS AS FICTIONAL STORIES, WITH EACH PAINTING SERVING AS A SCENE FROM AN UNFOLDING AND OTHERWORLDLY TALE AND ACCOMPANIED BY A NARRATIVE TEXT. HER NEW PAINTINGS CONTINUE HER ENDURING INTEREST IN RELATIONS BETWEEN HUMANS AND NATURE, DEPICTING HER CHILD PROTAGONISTS IN COMMUNE, CONFLICT, OR UNCERTAIN RELATION WITH NATURE AND ANIMALS. ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR AND DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS. NEW ON VIEW FEBRUARY 16, 2023 - AUGUST 6, 2023 PAUL AND CATHERINE BUTTENWIESER GALLERY NEW ON VIEW PRESENTS A SMALL SELECTION OF WORKS ON VIEW AT THE MUSEUM FOR THE FIRST TIME, INCLUDING SEVERAL RECENTLY ACQUIRED WORKS TO THE PERMANENT COLLECTION. EXPLORING THEMES SUCH AS DOMESTICITY AND PHOTOGRAPHY IN AN EXPANDED FIELD, NEW ON VIEW DEMONSTRATES THAT WORKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE ICA'S COLLECTION BUILD ON ITS STRENGTHS BY TAKING THEM IN EXPANSIVE NEW DIRECTIONS. ORGANIZED BY JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSOCIATE CURATOR AND PUBLICATIONS MANAGER. SIMONE LEIGH APRIL 6, 2023 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 BRIDGITT AND BRUCE EVANS AND KAREN AND BRIAN CONWAY GALLERIES SIMONE LEIGH (B. 1967, CHICAGO) REPRESENTED THE UNITED STATES AT THE 2022 VENICE BIENNALE, ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITIONS IN THE WORLD. SELECTIONS FROM LEIGH'S LANDMARK VENICE PRESENTATION ARE MAKING THEIR U.S. PREMIERE IN BOSTON, JOINED BY KEY WORKS FROM THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, PROVIDING A HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE ARTIST'S PRODUCTION IN CERAMIC, BRONZE, AND VIDEO. FOR OVER TWO DECADES, LEIGH HAS EMBRACED A POLYPHONIC ARTISTIC VOCABULARY THAT ELABORATES ON BLACK FEMINIST THOUGHT, AN INTELLECTUAL TRADITION WHICH VALUES AND CENTERS THE EXPERIENCES OF BLACK WOMEN. INFORMED BY A RIGOROUS ATTENTION TO A WIDE SWATH OF HISTORICAL PERIODS, GEOGRAPHIES, AND ARTISTIC TRADITIONS OF AFRICA AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA, LEIGH OFTEN COMBINES THE FEMALE BODY WITH DOMESTIC VESSELS OR ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS TO POINT TO UNACKNOWLEDGED ACTS OF LABOR AND CARE, PARTICULARLY AMONG AND FOR BLACK WOMEN. CLAY FORMS THE BASIS OF MOST OF LEIGH'S ARTWORKS, INCLUDING HER BRONZE SCULPTURES, WHICH ARE FIRST MODELED IN CLAY. THE ARTIST PUSHES THE MEDIUM'S POSSIBILITIES THROUGH SCALE AND METHOD, CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL, HIERARCHICAL FINE ARTS HISTORIES, WHICH CAN STILL ATTACH TO CERAMICS ASSOCIATIONS AROUND WOMEN'S LABOR, DECORATION, DOMESTIC CRAFTS, AND UTILITY. THIS EXHIBITION TRACES THE ARTIST'S UNIQUE VISUAL LANGUAGE THROUGH SIGNATURE MOTIFS, INCLUDING COWRIE SHELLS, BRAIDING, ROSETTES, FACE VESSELS, AND EYELESS FACES. THROUGH LEIGH'S RE-PERFORMING OF THESE FORMS IN VARYING MATERIALS AND SCALES, NEW STRUCTURES OF THOUGHT AND MEANINGS EMERGE, EACH CONSISTENTLY CENTERING THE EXPERIENCES AND INTELLECTUAL LABOR OF BLACK FEMMES. ACCOMPANIED BY A MAJOR MONOGRAPH, THIS EXHIBITION OFFERS VISITORS A TIMELY OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE COMPLEX AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING WORK OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING ARTIST. SIMONE LEIGH WILL TOUR TO THE HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. (NOVEMBER 2023 - MARCH 2024) AND A JOINT PRESENTATION AT THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (LACMA) AND CALIFORNIA AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM (CAAM) IN LOS ANGELES (JUNE 2024 - JANUARY 2025). ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL PROGRAMS, VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, (FORMER BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, ICA/BOSTON), WITH ANNI A. PULLAGURA, ASSISTANT CURATOR. GUADALUPE MARAVILLA: MARIPOSA RELAMPAGO MAY 25, 2023 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 ICA WATERSHED GUADALUPE MARAVILLA (B. 1976 IN SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR) GROUNDS HIS SCULPTURE, PAINTING, PERFORMANCE, AND LARGE-SCALE INSTALLATION IN ACTIVISM AND HEALING, INFORMED BY HIS PERSONAL STORY OF MIGRATION, ILLNESS, AND RECOVERY. AT THE AGE OF EIGHT, MARAVILLA FLED EL SALVADOR'S CIVIL WAR AS AN UNACCOMPANIED MINOR AND MADE A PERILOUS JOURNEY THROUGH CENTRAL AMERICA TO REUNITE WITH FAMILY IN THE UNITED STATES. IN THE 2010S, MARAVILLA WAS DIAGNOSED WITH COLON CANCER, AN ILLNESS HE LINKS TO GENERATIONAL TRAUMA AND THE STRESSES OF BEING UNDOCUMENTED, AND DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS, HE WAS INTRODUCED TO ANCIENT METHODS OF HEALING, INCLUDING THE USE OF SOUND. THIS LIFE EVENT SHIFTED MARAVILLA'S PRACTICES, AND HE HAS SINCE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO RAISE AWARENESS OF TRAUMA AND EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALING, NURTURING COLLECTIVE NARRATIVES WITH A SENSE OF PERSEVERANCE AND HUMANITY. THIS EXHIBITION PRESENTS A SELECTION OF RECENT SCULPTURES AND PAINTINGS BY MARAVILLA. AT ITS CENTER IS MARIPOSA RELAMPAGO (LIGHTNING BUTTERFLY), A NEWLY COMMISSIONED WORK FOR THE ICA WATERSHED AND THE ARTIST'S LARGEST SCULPTURE TO DATE. MARIPOSA RELAMPAGO IS PART OF THE ARTIST'S DISEASE THROWER SERIES, SCULPTURES THAT INCORPORATE NATURAL MATERIALS, HANDMADE OBJECTS, AND ITEMS COLLECTED BY THE ARTIST WHILE RETRACING HIS MIGRATORY ROUTE TO BECOME SHRINES AND HEALING INSTRUMENTS. EVERY SCULPTURE INCLUDES METAL GONGS THAT ARE ACTIVATED BY THE ARTIST DURING PUBLIC SOUND BATHS TO DEPLOY THE POWERS OF VIBRATIONAL SOUND AS A FORM OF HEALING. MARAVILLA'S ARTWORKS CONTAIN A COSMOLOGY OF POTENT SYMBOLS AND OBJECTS THAT CONNECT THE ARTIST'S PERSONAL JOURNEY WITH ANCIENT PRACTICES OF THE INDIGENOUS MAYAN PEOPLES; DIVERSE SPIRITUAL AND FOLK BELIEFS; AND CONTEMPORARY CRISES OF DISEASE, ECOLOGY, AND WAR. WE INVITE YOU TO EXPLORE THIS EXHIBITION AND COME BACK FOR ONE OF THE MANY PROGRAMS OFFERED IN COLLABORATION WITH EAST BOSTON ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO SUPPORT COMMUNITY HEALING AND WELL-BEING.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR AND DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS, WITH YUTONG SHI, CURATORIAL ASSISTANT. TAMMY NGUYEN AUGUST 24, 2023 - JANUARY 28, 2024 PAUL AND CATHERINE BUTTENWIESER GALLERY CONNECTICUT-BASED MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST TAMMY NGUYEN (B. 1984, SAN FRANCISCO) CREATES PAINTINGS, WORKS ON PAPER, UNIQUE ARTIST BOOKS, AND PUBLICATIONS, INCLUDING THROUGH HER INDEPENDENT IMPRINT PASSENGER PIGEON PRESS. IN THE DENSELY LAYERED SYMPHONIC SPACE OF HER GILDED PAINTINGS, NGUYEN EXPLORES CONTRADICTION AND CONFUSION THROUGH INTERTWINING NARRATIVES OF GEOPOLITICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL SUBJECTS. MANY OF HER PAINTINGS ARE COMPOSITE IMAGES THAT RECONSIDER LESSER-KNOWN HISTORIES AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF LUSH LANDSCAPES TEEMING WITH INSECTS, ANIMALS, AND PLANTS IMBUED WITH AGENCY, AND VARIED SYMBOLS OF VIOLENT CONQUEST OR SOFT POWER. THROUGHOUT, THE BEAUTIFUL AESTHETIC OF NGUYEN'S PAINTINGS IS DISARMING, CREATING A PRODUCTIVE TENSION THAT OPENS SPACE TO CONSIDER THE HISTORIES AND SUBJECTS HER WORK EXAMINES. FOR THE ICA, HER FIRST SOLO MUSEUM EXHIBITION IN THE U.S., NGUYEN IS CREATING A NEW, INTERCONNECTED BODY OF PAINTINGS, WORKS ON PAPER, AND ARTIST BOOKS. THESE WORKS, INSPIRED BY EAST ASIAN LANDSCAPE PAINTING, ARE ALL RELATED TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND NATURE, LANDSCAPE AND WILDERNESS, AS ARTICULATED IN RALPH WALDO EMERSON'S INFLUENTIAL BOOK-LENGTH ESSAY NATURE, WRITTEN IN 1836 IN CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS. NGUYEN MAPS THE LASTING IMPACT OF EMERSON'S WRITING ON STILL COMMONLY HELD IDEAS ABOUT NATURE AND LANDSCAPE, ESPECIALLY THROUGH A STUDIED CONSIDERATION OF LAND REFORM PROGRAMS IN VIETNAM DURING THE VIETNAM WAR. ORGANIZED BY JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSOCIATE CURATOR AND PUBLICATIONS MANAGER. 2023 JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZE AUGUST 24, 2023 - JANUARY 28, 2024 FOTENE DEMOULAS GALLERY THE 2023 JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZE PRESENTS THE WORK OF CICELY CAREW (B.

COLLECTION SPOTLIGHT: NAN GOLDIN AND JACK PIERSON SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 - AUGUST 4, 2024 THIRD FLOOR LOBBY NAN GOLDIN AND JACK PIERSON WERE PART OF THE "BOSTON SCHOOL" - A GROUP OF LOOSELY AFFILIATED ARTISTS WHO MET IN BOSTON IN THE LATE 1970S AND 80S AND FOCUSED MUCH OF THEIR WORK ON THE QUEER UNDERGROUND SCENE IN AND AROUND THE CITY. AT THE TIME, PHOTOGRAPHY WAS A POWERFUL FORM OF DOCUMENTATION IN AN ERA SHAPED BY THE AIDS PANDEMIC. TWO WORKS FROM THE ICA'S PERMANENT COLLECTION INSTALLED TOGETHER ON THE THIRD FLOOR POINT TO THE ARTISTS' SHARED INTEREST IN PERFORMANCE AND ITS EMOTIONAL CAPACITIES. GOLDIN ATTENDED SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS (1974-1978) AND HAS SPENT DECADES CAPTURING OVERLOOKED SUBJECTS AND THE INTIMACIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE. IN 1994, GOLDIN PUBLISHED TOKYO LOVE TOGETHER WITH JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHER NOBUYOSHI ARAKI. AN ARTIST BOOK DOCUMENTING CONTEMPORARY ADOLESCENCE IN TOKYO, THE BOOK CELEBRATES YOUTHFUL ENERGY AND ROMANCE AS WELL AS THE SUBJECTS' FLUID SEXUALITY AND GENDER IDENTITIES DURING A PERIOD OF GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED CENSORSHIP. NOA DRESSING FOR THE VENUS SHOW AT SHOGUN CLUB, TOKYO IS A PORTRAIT OF TWO PERFORMERS PREPARING FOR THE STAGE AS ONE FASTENS THE OTHER'S COSTUME. THE NAME SHOGUN CLUB REFERENCES A QUEER HISTORY OF SHOGUNS, TOP MILITARY COMMANDERS IN FEUDAL JAPAN, WHO OFTEN BROUGHT BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MEN AS GEISHAS FOR ENTERTAINMENT DURING WARTIME.

FORECAST FORM: ART IN THE CARIBBEAN DIASPORA, 1990S - TODAY OCTOBER 5, 2023 - FEBRUARY 25, 2024 BRIDGITT AND BRUCE EVANS AND KAREN AND BRIAN CONWAY GALLERIES FORECAST FORM: ART IN THE CARIBBEAN DIASPORA, 1990S - TODAY GATHERS ARTWORKS BY 28 ARTISTS CONNECTED TO THE REGION, INCLUDING STANDOUT WORKS BY MARIA MAGDALENA CAMPOS-PONS, TERESITA FERNANDEZ, FELIX GONZALEZ-TORRES, DEBORAH JACK, ANA MENDIETA, SUCHITRA MATTAI, LORRAINE O'GRADY, AND EBONY G. PATTERSON. FULL OF NEW IDEAS, THIS FAR-REACHING AND EVOCATIVE EXHIBITION LOOKS AT THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE REGION WITH "RIGOR, BEAUTY, AND APLOMB" (ART IN AMERICA). THE EXHIBITION IS ANCHORED IN THE CONCEPT OF DIASPORA, THE DISPERSAL OF PEOPLE THROUGH MIGRATION BOTH FORCED AND VOLUNTARY. HERE, DIASPORA IS NOT A LONGING TO RETURN HOME BUT A WAY OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ALWAYS IN MOVEMENT AND THAT OUR IDENTITIES ARE IN CONSTANT STATES OF TRANSFORMATION. WORKS ON VIEW EXPLORE HOW MUCH OF OUR PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE HISTORIES WE CARRY IN OUR BODIES AND HOW ART-MAKING CAN REFLECT CROSS-CULTURAL EXCHANGES. THE PROFOUND SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE 1990S FORM THE CULTURAL BACKDROP OF THE EXHIBITION. THE EMERGENCE OF GLOBALIZATION AND MULTICULTURALISM AT THAT TIME LED TO DEBATES AROUND IDENTITY AND DIFFERENCE THAT INFLUENCED STEREOTYPICAL PERCEPTIONS OF THE CARIBBEAN AS AN EXOTIC TROPICAL PARADISE. CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL IDEAS ABOUT THE REGION, WHICH IS CONSTITUTED BY MORE THAN 700 ISLANDS AND LANDMASSES, FORECAST FORM REVEALS NEW WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING THE CARIBBEAN AS A PLACE DEFINED NOT BY GEOGRAPHY, LANGUAGE, OR ETHNICITY, BUT BY CONSTANT EXCHANGE, DISPLACEMENT, AND MOVEMENT. ORGANIZED BY MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART CHICAGO. ORGANIZED BY CARLA ACEVEDO-YATES, MARILYN AND LARRY FIELDS CURATOR, WITH IRIS COLBURN, CURATORIAL ASSISTANT, ISABEL CASSO, FORMER SUSMAN CURATORIAL FELLOW, AND NOLAN JIMBO, SUSMAN CURATORIAL FELLOW, MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART CHICAGO.

OF WHALES OFFERS A POETIC MEDITATION ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF A SPERM WHALE, WHO PLUNGES TO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN FOR AN HOUR AT A TIME, SURFACING OCCASIONALLY FOR A BREATH OF AIR. CREATED ON THE UNITY GAMING PLATFORM WITH XR (EXTENDED REALITY) TECHNOLOGIES, THE DYNAMICALLY GENERATED REAL-TIME VIDEO AND SOUND INSTALLATION IMMERSES VIEWERS IN A LUSH, DREAMY OCEANSCAPE FOR IMAGINATION, CONTEMPLATION, AND PROVOCATION.

FIRELEI BAEZ APRIL 4, 2024 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 BRIDGITT AND BRUCE EVANS AND KAREN AND BRIAN CONWAY GALLERIES "MY WORKS ARE PROPOSITIONS, MEANT TO CREATE ALTERNATE PASTS AND POTENTIAL FUTURES, QUESTIONING HISTORY AND CULTURE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A SPACE FOR REASSESSING THE PRESENT." FIRELEI BAEZ THIS IS THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN SURVEY DEDICATED TO THE RICHLY LAYERED WORK OF FIRELEI BAEZ (B. 1981, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC). ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING PAINTERS OF HER GENERATION, BAEZ DELVES INTO THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. OVER THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS, SHE HAS MADE WORK THAT EXPLORES THE MULTILAYERED LEGACY OF COLONIAL HISTORIES AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA IN THE CARIBBEAN AND BEYOND. SHE DRAWS ON THE DISCIPLINES OF ANTHROPOLOGY, GEOGRAPHY, FOLKLORE, FANTASY, SCIENCE FICTION, AND SOCIAL HISTORY TO UNSETTLE CATEGORIES OF RACE, GENDER, AND NATIONALITY IN HER PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, AND INSTALLATIONS. HER EXUBERANT PAINTINGS FEATURE FINELY WROUGHT, COMPLEX, AND LAYERED USES OF PATTERN, DECORATION, AND SATURATED COLOR, OFTEN OVERLAID ON MAPS MADE DURING COLONIAL RULE IN THE AMERICAS. BAEZ'S INVESTMENT IN THE MEDIUM OF PAINTING AND ITS CAPACITY FOR STORYTELLING AND MYTHMAKING INFORMS ALL HER WORK, INCLUDING HER SCULPTURAL INSTALLATIONS, WHICH BRING THIS QUALITY INTO THREE DIMENSIONS. THIS EXHIBITION WILL OFFER AUDIENCES A TIMELY OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN A HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF BAEZ'S COMPLEX AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING BODY OF WORK, CEMENTING HER AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTS OF THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY. THE EXHIBITION IS ACCOMPANIED BY A RICHLY ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE. THE EXHIBITION WILL TOUR THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA TO THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY (NOV. 3, 2024 - MAR. 16, 2025) AND THE DES MOINES ART CENTER (JUN. 14, 2025 - SEP. 21, 2025).

HEW LOCKE: THE PROCESSION MAY 23, 2024 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 ICA WATERSHED A PROCESSION IS PART OF LIFE; PEOPLE GATHER AND MOVE TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE, WORSHIP, PROTEST, MOURN, ESCAPE, OR CALL FOR CHANGE. THESE EXPRESSIONS ARE ALL AT THE HEART OF THE PROCESSION, AN AMBITIOUS INSTALLATION FIRST COMMISSIONED BY TATE BRITAIN, UK, AND MAKING ITS NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT THE ICA WATERSHED. THROUGH HIS MULTIVALENT PRACTICE, HEW LOCKE OBE RA (BORN 1959 IN EDINBURGH, UNITED KINGDOM; LIVES AND WORKS IN LONDON) EXPLORES INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS TO POWER, CULTURAL MEMORY, AND MIGRATION. THE ARTIST SPENT HIS FORMATIVE YEARS IN THE THEN NEWLY INDEPENDENT COUNTRY OF GUYANA, A FORMER BRITISH COLONY, WHERE HE BECAME FASCINATED BY THE SYMBOLS THROUGH WHICH INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS ASSERT THEIR IDENTITIES. HIS WORK HAS TOUCHED ON A WIDE ARRAY OF SUBJECTS, FROM BRITISH COLONIALISM AND CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL TO POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHIES AND PUBLIC MONUMENTS. HE INVESTIGATES THESE IDEAS THROUGH MATERIALS SUCH AS CARDBOARD, COSTUME JEWELRY, AND REPURPOSED EMBLEMS OF BRITISH IDENTITY, CREATING ELABORATE ARTWORKS WITH LAYERED AND EXPANSIVE MEANINGS THAT ENGAGE WITH THE HISTORIES AND CONTEMPORARY LEGACIES OF COLONIALISM AND EMPIRE. DRAWING UPON A SERIES OF MOTIFS AND CONCERNS THAT HAVE OCCUPIED THE ARTIST OVER DECADES, THE PROCESSION IS A COLORFUL GATHERING OF APPROXIMATELY 140 LIFE-SIZE SCULPTURES OF MASKED FIGURES OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES ADORNED IN PRINTED FABRICS AND EMBROIDERIES - CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL QUEENS, DANCERS, REFUGEES, HORSEBACK-MOUNTED MILITARY FIGURES, FISHERS, LABORERS, PREGNANT WOMEN, CHILDREN, DRUMMERS, AND FLAG BEARERS. THE FORWARD-FACING FIGURES CARRY PROPS OR WEAR COSTUMES THAT REPRODUCE IMAGERY FROM HISTORICAL PAINTINGS, ADVERTISEMENTS, SHARE CERTIFICATES, MAPS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, INCLUDING REPRODUCTIONS OF THE ARTIST'S OWN WORK. POETIC AND POWERFUL, THIS INSTALLATION DRAWS ON THE METAPHOR OF THE VOYAGE TO, IN THE ARTIST'S WORDS, "REFLECT ON THE CYCLES OF HISTORY, AND THE EBB AND FLOW OF CULTURES, PEOPLE, FINANCE, AND POWER." SEEN WITHIN THE HARBORSIDE SETTING OF THE ICA WATERSHED IN EAST BOSTON, THE PROCESSION IS A COMPELLING AND IMMERSIVE INVITATION FOR VISITORS TO CROSS HISTORICAL AND NARRATIVE TIME IN AN EXPERIENCE THAT DELIGHTS THE EYES AND EXPANDS THE MIND. HEW LOCKE: THE PROCESSION WAS ORIGINALLY COMMISSIONED BY TATE BRITAIN FOR ITS 2022 TATE BRITAIN COMMISSION. THE ICA WATERSHED PRESENTATION IS ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR AND DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS, AND ANNI A.
