Everything's coming up purple at the ICA right now! Just a few days until you can become fully immersed in 'Purple' when #JohnAkomfrah's monumental 6-channel film goes on view at the #ICAWatershed. Opens May 26! 💜 Happy spring! — #icaboston #bosart #bostonarchitecture #architecture #harborwalk #seaportboston #bostonharbor #waterfront #spring

Last chance to get a #CloseEncounter with #HumaBhabha, who creates otherworldly art inspired in part by classic science-fiction movies including Robert Wise's 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' (pictured). @metmuseum curator @shanaypjhaveri writes, “Bhabha has long drawn on formal elements from sci-fi, fantasy, and horror films in her work. By her own account, some of her first sculptures from the 1990s ‘looked like extraterrestrials that had just landed.’” See them up close for yourself! Huma Bhabha: They Live closes May 27. — Images: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). Directed by Robert Wise. Shown: Lock Martin.

Levi Strauss and tailor Jacob Davis received the blue jeans patent #onthisday in 1873 (@levis), reminding us of artist #JimHodges's monumental 12-feet mural made entirely of #denim fabric. We remember this work when it was first shown in Hodges's retrospective 'Give More Than You Take' at the ICA in 2014. 'Untitled (one day it all comes true)' comprises thousands of pieces of fabric and is assembled entirely from found, donated, and purchased denim in every shade. It is among the most labor-intensive and epic works Hodges has produced. Swipe for detail. 👉👖 . . . Jim Hodges, Untitled (one day it all comes true), 2013. Denim fabric, thread 144 x 288 in.
