Joshua Davis exhibit in Boston

Saturday, November 10, 2007   


Yesterday our group at work went to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (on the waterfront next to Anthony's Pier 4 Restaurant). The show we went to see was "Design Life Now" -- graphics, technology, architecture, etc. The exhibit included a small section of Joshua Davis' posters (4 of them) and a tiny 12" flat panel running a Flash piece. Pretty cool.

I prefer Jared Tarbell's stuff, but I like Joshua's stuff too. I took several photos with my camera, but I don't have any editing software here mobile at the moment.

They had several of those maquette things from Pixar's The Untouchables, Cars, and Ratatouille. A few were signed. Nice.

Also, there was a small section of wall devoted to Make magazine (Phillip Torrone)... it was cool to see that there too. Two people I have met and talked with in a museum of contemporary art.

Anythony's Pier 4: dumpy old furniture, a huge wait staff wearing stained white jackets that don't fit trying to look like sailors. The food: meh. The speed of service: good. In general, avoid this place as its expensive, the vibe dusty and cruddy, and the food is only so-so. The only good thing about it is the view of the water and the airport.

“Hey Eric,

Make that three people you know who had work in the Boston ICA. If you made it into the very cool glass room overlooking the water with all the iMac kiosks - you saw some of my technical work as well. ;) I worked with a friend of mine Josh Golsblum at Blue Cadet studio to help build all the iMac and Flash based kiosks in that room. ;) Hope you got a chance to see them - if nothing else, the room is cool. :)

“Hey Rob,
I did indeed see that room and all the kiosk iMacs. The room is super cool, although it makes one feel like you're in a plane about to crash into the water ;)

You could leave messages, etc. on the iMacs. I tried to hack into it to see what made it tick but couldn't get in ;)

Nice work.”
