ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) – write a 3-4 page paper in which you reflect on how museums structure our aesthetic experiences. Organize your paper anyway you want, including the following elements:
Overall description of the museum/gallery environment (how are artworks displayed; what kind of atmosphere is created by lighting, space, informational plaques?)
Thoughtful and detailed discussion of one specific artwork (can be visual, video, sound, or media work); identify title and artist; give description of piece; use the museum label to gain information about the artwork, but be sure to develop your discussion further using your own observations and critical commentary; reflection on how the artwork interacts with its display environment.
Be sure to incorporate some aspect from one of the articles in the reading packet in your reflection. Articles are posted on Canvas.
