Visit the Bank of America Art Lab to see Perfect Memory, an installation by Boston artist crystal bi. This installation draws inspiration from the ICA, a place surrounded by water that shapes Boston’s past and future. Perfect Memory invites us to reflect on the question: How can water, and the memory it carries, guide us as we practice imagining and creating something new?
Meet the artist crystal bi on Sunday, July 19!
