ICA Boston

This is Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. They moved to a new facility of Boston waterfront and opened in December 2006. I visited ICA almost 10 years ago when I was still in collage but the size was one third of this new building.

This building reminds me Tate in London. I visited there and spent a half day there. My most favorite one there was "Summertime" by Jackson Pollock. Somehow I became to like to visit museums even though I thought I hate ART stuff since most of my family and relatives are related to ART business that is Architects and moreover I hated the fact that they are good at ART and I was not. Well, I guess I cannot get away from the influences from the environment I grew up especially from my mom and dad. Ofcourse, I like it now.

You see from there is Boston harbor. Well, we visited there too late for you to see the view well. Sorry. Also I hope the lady in red or orange not to be there because her figure reflects on the glass window and you can't see the view well. One another thing I disappointed about the fact ICA did not have postcards of the new building on or artworks they have there. The lady told me they would have them in a few months. I want to visit there during the day next time and send my family and friends postcards. Oh, do you see Chris sitting on the seat!?

Mainly I like to see the world wise famous and popular stuff such as the "Sunflower" by Vincent Van Gough, "Water lilies" by Monet, Picasso and Matisse. That's where I started. Jackson Pollock. I believe his painting (summertime) was the one pulled me into the ART more and because of my family influence. Have you ever see the painting looks like someone splash the paints on the canvas? That's him. Olivia tried the same technique on the first book of a children picture book called "Olivia" Please check it out if you like.

There are other stuff I like now like...I am addicted to a magazine ELLE Decoration UK edition (design stuff) for several years. Andy Goldsworthy, his stuff is fun. My next travel destination is Barcelona to see Gaudi (my grandpa's favorite). Now you gotta watch this movie called "Night at the Museum" by Ben Stiller. Me and Chris loved it.
