· Karen Kilimnik
Filling the first and second floor galleries, ICA presents the first major survey of an American artist of international stature spanning over 15 years of collage-based activity in the realms of paintings, drawings, photography, sculptural installations, and objects. Kilimnik's art exists in a seemingly fanciful world of fashion models, movie stars, ballerinas, castles, horses, pets, and ribbons.
· Contemporary Art and the Art of Curating Class Exhibition
A year-long undergraduate seminar at Penn-a joint collaboration between the
History of Art Department and ICA- marks an immersive study of contemporary art and curatorial practice. This Spring the students will test what they have learned in the classroom by putting together their own exhibition in ICA's Project Space.
· Ramp Project: Phoebe Washburn
Each season, ICA's Ramp Project Series commissions an artist to create a new site-specific temporary work. In the series' 12th commission, New York artist Phoebe Washburn responds to the dark, cave-like entrance on the first floor and incorporates live plants.
