Cultural Events

[browngirl]

I've been thinking that I want to do more in Boston, take more advantage of living in a major city, and at about the same time the Metro expanded their coverage of cultural events. I haven't yet actually gone to anything I've read about in the paper, but I'd say I've already benefited from this project; for example, I now know that today at noon in Copley Square (Green Line), Vanilla Ice will be judging te Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee-oke Contest. I mean, the jokes, they write themselves.

In an event I might actually attend, there's an exhibit at the ICA (617-478-3100; Silver line to World Trade Center) through April 29 called "Super Vision", about how "science has changed the way we look at the world" and the effect that change has had on contemporary art. An exhibit about the effect of science on art, rather than yet another staged battle between the two fields? I am so there, if I can manage to find time to go.

I'm often thinking (but rarely doing) that I want to do more in Boston, and I've been wanting to visit the new ICA (last time I was on vacation it was on my list of things to do, but the opening had been delayed, so no ICA for me).

That exhibit sounds good. Perhaps we could arrange to go together?

I'm a little confused as to how this qualifies as a "cultural event" (or maybe I'm just a crashing snob - six of one, half a dozen of the other I suspect), but I would like a link, if you have one handy? I want to send it to another friend who lives outside Boston and razz her. *g*

I have to post about it in bard_in_boston, but my favorite Shakespeare troupe will be performing Titus Andronicus in the basement of the Garage in Harvard Square.

Convenient location?
