Weekly Update – Consciousness-raising at Vox Populi

Like the unruly cousin of Queer Voice at ICA last spring, Quadruple-Consciousness at Vox Populi offers a look at artists who use parody or hyperbole to critique American culture. Much of the work by the 19 artists is performance-based, with two nights of live performance central to the show. (If you missed the opening night, you can catch different performers live at the show’s closing on Jan. 29.)

The Absurd at the ICA

The voice of a woman in a plastic Viking helmet and green polka-dot sundress with brown corset, holding a giant foam cheese wedge, while donning an unexplained nosebleed, drifts throughout the ICA‘s second floor Project Space during the opening week of Video Art: Replay, Part 3. Ludicrous!. Video Art: Replay is a year-long, three-part exhibition showcasing recent video art in three different genres: documentary, animation and the absurd.
