the divine gas

chiho aoshima, the divine gas

Last night, m. and I took a journey to the financial district in Boston, and then over to the ICA for free Thursday nights. The museum sits on the inner harbor, with views of Eastie, and the Tobin. It was our first trip down there together, and the buildings/water/art all served as inspiration (that word again!). The Philip-Lorca diCorcia exhibit was a mix and match of his previous showings and the Louise Bourgeois show spanned six decades of her work, but m. was not interested in this room's contents.

The first thing you see when you walk into the museum, is Chiho Aoshima's giant mural, The Divine Gas... the lines are so clean and the colors vivid, that at first you wonder, "is that really a mural of a giant tooting?" love a sense of humor in art.
