A POUND (OR TWO) OF FLESH: VIOLENCE AND RACE RELATIONS ON DISPLAY IN NEW ICA EXHIBIT

Written by SPENCER SHANNON Posted December 3, 2014 Filed Under: Visual Arts

SOCIAL STUDIES WITH ARTIST PAT FALCO

Written by SCOTT MURRY Posted November 20, 2014 Filed Under: A+E, Visual Arts

Pat Falco’s project “Untitled November,” leads us to Dwight Street, where we hop into a dumpster together to view a snide piece about “AFFORDABLE HOUSING.” Eschewing art world clichés, he strives to present and create work that is approachable, humorous, and, perhaps above all, honest.

ACCESS THE ARTS: ENJOY ALL THE SCENE HAS TO OFFER

Written by SUSANNA JACKSON Posted November 20, 2014 Filed Under: Visual Arts

If you're a student who blew through your semester’s savings by the end of September, someone who hands over each paycheck directly to their landlord, or someone busy working to find work, sneezing next to one of greater Boston's many arts institutions can feel like an overdraft threat to your bank account. That should’t be the case, and in many instances, it’s not.

TAPPING INTO THE NETROOTS: DARKMATTER PRESENTS #ITGETSBITTER

Written by SPENCER SHANNON Posted November 13, 2014 Filed Under: A+E, Visual Arts

“I’m over folks who have historically had power and dominance over ‘real-life’ spaces (white cis able-bodied men) denouncing the Internet as a site of political and cultural work. I think the Internet has surely been a tremendous space—coupled with on-the-ground grassroots struggle—to develop and carry out movement strategies. I believe in linking the two.”

Written by SUSANNA JACKSON Posted November 4, 2014 Filed Under: A+E, MUSIC, Visual Arts

THOMAS PAGE MCBEE’S ‘MAN ALIVE’ WILL BE ASSIGNED TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN IN HIGH SCHOOL

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted October 24, 2014 Filed Under: A+E, Visual Arts

By the time I say all this out loud, Thomas Page McBee will likely be a ubiquitous name in literary circles, and folks will scratch their chins as I remind them that before Man Alive was assigned to every high school student in the land, such stories of staggering transgender triumph hadn't yet become part of the American narrative.
