To-Do List, Jan. 27, 2012
We love lists. Everyone loves lists!
So here is the To-Do List, a round-up of weekend activities (art-related or otherwise) that ICA staffers have on their agenda. Here's hoping that weekends everywhere become a little more inspired and a little more fun. Happy Friday!
The To-Do List
Jan. 27-29, 2012
1. Pina
A 3-D dance film presenting some of the greatest works of legendary choreographer Pina Bausch. By Wim Wenders. Oscar-nominated for best documentary. Critics have been acclaiming, friends have been gushing, we've got the 3-D glasses, we have to see this film.
2. 100 Years (version #4 Boston, 2012) at Boston University Art Gallery
A century of performance art's most influential moments--from films of Francis Picabia's avant-garde ballet Relâche to work by Yoko Ono, Matthew Barney and Ryan Trecartin. This exhibition was organized by MoMA PS1 in collaboration with Performa.
3. The 2012 deCordova Biennial
Work by 23 New England artists including 2001 ICA Artist Prize recipient Taylor Davis and 2008 Foster Prize finalist Joe Zane. This exhibition will familiarize you with the extraordinary output of artists from across the region, and there are also some related events taking place at the Boston Center for the Arts (a convenient plus for the car-less!).
4. The Secret World of Arrietty
Fans of Totoro and Spirited Away will not want to miss the latest film by Japan's famed Studio Ghibli. The ICA is presenting an exclusive preview screening of Disney's The Secret World of Arrietty as part of ICA Play Date and the Third-Annual International Children's Film Festival.
5. Films by Isaac Julien
A nine-film retrospective of Isaac Julien's work held in conjunction with our exhibition Ten Thousand Waves. The film program includes The Long Road to Mazatlán (1999) and Vagabondia (2000), which earned Julien a Turner Prize nomination, as well as the acclaimed documentary Looking for Langston (1989). Also included is the 2008 film Derek, a collaboration between Julien and actress Tilda Swinton celebrating the life, vision and legacy of Derek Jarman.
