The thirteenth installment of the ICA’s annual collection exhibition presents major works that showcase artists’ engagement and entanglement with the everyday. Interest in common materials and quotidian subjects has been a defining theme of artistic practice in the 20th century, inspiring Cubist collage, found sculpture, and the widespread embrace of photography. By observing and being in the world, artists elevate and make significant ordinary textures and experiences.
Rooms dedicated to materials and process celebrate artists’ capacity to elicit the wondrous from the mundane.
