Visual Arts Review: The ICA’s Watershed Points to How We Got Here

Purple is an ambitious, over-the-top endeavor, which feels completely appropriate, given the calamity at hand.

By: Lena Novins-Montague Filed Under: Featured, Review, Visual Arts Tagged: Institute of Contemporary Art, John Akomfrah, Lena Novins-Montague, Purple

Dance Review: Boston Dance Theater — The Warrior Femmes

Boston Dance Theater’s four pieces seemed to counter female stereotypes but raised limited alternatives.

By: Marcia B. Siegel Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Boston Dance Theater, Institute of Contemporary Art, Marcia B. Siegel, World Music/CRASHarts

Dance Review: William Forsythe’s Mind/Body Art Show

One thing I liked so much about this show, besides the mental and physical challenges, was its use of really simple and mundane materials.

Visual Arts Review: Dana Schutz — A Genius or a Hot Mess?

Dana Schutz packs evocative and unexpected narratives into confined spaces, but not all of them fit as well as she thinks they do.

Dance Review: Skeleton Architecture — Embracing the Silence

I enjoyed the working-out of all this material, and the beautiful dancers, but I sometimes felt I was back in the consciousness-raising ’60s and ’70s.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Institute of Contemporary Art, Marcia B. Siegel, Skeleton Architecture, the future of our worlds

Dance Review: Maureen Fleming at the ICA — Brilliant Movement

Dancer/choreographer Maureen Fleming’s highly distinctive style of movement is unforgettable.

Dance Review: Popcorn from BODYTRAFFIC

BODYTRAFFIC seems to be invested in a relentless likeability.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: BODYTRAFFIC, Guzmán Rosado, Institute of Contemporary Art, Marcia B. Siegel, Tina Finkelman Berket

Any performance of Meredith Monk’s is spare to the point of enigma, and also tremendously evocative.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Ailison Sniffen, Anne Waldman, Institute of Contemporary Art, Katie Geissinger, Marcia B. Siegel, Meredith Monk
