ICA in Boston
I am a big fan of Diller Scofidio + Renfro so I went to see the new building for the ICA that opened in December. Immediately on the waterfront, it takes your breath away with the sweeping staircase and internal gallery space on the 4th floor that is floor to ceiling glass onto Boston Harbour. I also discovered a new talent – Josiah McElheny, who lives in Brooklyn, but was born in Boston and is an artist and sculptor known for his work with glass blowing. The exhibition on Philip Lorca diCorcia is what left the lasting impression. It includes over 100 of his prints – I do not remember a photographer who has impressed me more.
