ICA... Catching Up

Okay, it is perhaps absurd that this weekend, when all the super smart people were gathering to drink to the new ICA, I was more than 1,000 miles south. But there were tenants coming in, and leaves to rake. I also bought a weird painting of Howlin' Wolf from a guy named Eddie. But enough about me. What about Boston's first new art museum in nearly 100 years?

Joel Brown's posts made me feel as if I were there. Start at the first entry, and scroll up. The Globe followed around art-world types getting special access on Saturday. Coverage of that night's party should be coming in Monday's paper. CultureGrrl was at the press event, but she's not talking, except about a disturbing experience at the Museum of Fine Arts and the sad state of WCRB.

As punishment for skipping out on the parties, I'm going to observe the ribbon cutting tomorrow.
