For First Friday, we went to the ICA and it was really interesting! It was the first time I had ever actually entered the building to look at the art and I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was especially engaging and the music and the snacks were a bonus. While I enjoyed all of the music and the people it made it more difficult, personally to focus on the art and enjoy its simple presence. The upstairs exhibition was pretty cool. There was a super cool display of three weird/abstracted small mirror men. The mirrors were two way and reflective. The artist, Aria Dean is using the reflective surface, that is often used in prisons and psychology, and interrogation rooms, to comment on the history of incarceration and commodification of black bodies to be suppressed and contained. I would really like to look into her more as her content is rather interesting. I wonder how as an artist she pushes this idea of black incarceration and commodification through other pieces? I would like to go back sometime, perhaps when it is more quiet without dance music playing to further inquire and explore Deans artistry. I really liked Deans sculptural work and how she rendered her figures. I wonder if I should play more with abstraction? Something I may consider...
