5/29/2018 0 Comments Experience: Declaration at the ICAI had never been to the ICA before, and had only seen it when it was projected on during the Inlight Festival this year, so this walking field trip was a new experience for me. The exhibits in Declaration were pretty interesting to me, and I don't always like contemporary art. Then again, most contemporary art I've been exposed to is through Instagram and Hi-Fructose Magazine. The activities at the beginning were fun, but I feel like there was only enough time to do one in full, and we shouldn't have tried to force several into that short amount of time. Also, the guided tour was interesting as an intro to the different levels, and helped me decide what I wanted to see once we were allowed to go on our own. My favorite aspect of the exhibition was the interactive part of it. I hadn't remembered that I applied for The Mending Project until the guided tour reached it, and now I see why I wasn't accepted. But the piece next to it, the 100 Days in Solitude was one of my favorites as well. I traded my phone for one of the altered watches while we were on our own, and spent time listening to the readings of the story that inspired the design of the ICA and listened to the interactive podcasts and took pictures using Angela's phone because I didn't have mine. I think I would like to go there again in the future, if the other exhibits are that varied and have that level of social commentary. A lot of the works had extremely good craftsmanship as well, which I appreciated. Overall, it reminded me of a mini MoCA and Guggenheim. I hope to draw some of the pieces we photographed in my sketchbook or on some paper if I run out of room.
