The Show features work by (among others) Koons, Basquiat, Richter, Sherman, Heilmann and Mapplethorpe. http://www.icaboston.org/exhibitions/exhibit/this_will_have_been/ In addition, we will get to see the ICA itself, which was designed by the design firm, Diller, Scofidio, + Renfru, who received a design award from FIT in New York last year, and who are renowned for (among other projects) their design of the High Line Park created from a former freight rail line on the lower west side of NYC. The Museum is free on Thursdays from 5 - 9PM. If there are enough RSVPs, we can arrange for some carpooling. We should leave this area around 2:30 or 3:00pm.
