Figuring Color
This February, the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA) opens Figuring Color: Kathy Butterly, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roy McMakin, Sue Williams, a major exhibition exploring the use of color and form to convey ideas about the body. Using vibrant hues and a touch of humor, McMakin’s fleshy chairs mimic the human form, Butterly’s intricate ceramics are rich with bodily humor and desire, Gonzalez-Torres’s installations of candy and plastic beads abstractly evoke physical absence and presence, and Williams’s electrifying canvases convey the viscera of war and politics. Organized by ICA Senior Curator Jenelle Porter, the exhibition features approximately 65 works, including painting, sculpture, and installation. Figuring Color is on view at the ICA from Feb. 17 through May 20, 2012. For more information, call 617-478-3100 or visit www.icaboston.org.
Medea
Actors' Shakespeare Project (ASP) presents Euripides' Greek tragedy Medea, directed by David R. Gammons. In Medea, Euripides gives us a view of passionate emotion, both in its purest forms and most wild aberrations. http://www.actorsshakespeareproject.org/
Time Stands Still
Widely hailed as one of the best new plays on Broadway, Time Stands Still is the story of Sarah and James, a photojournalist and foreign correspondent, who are reeling after their recent brush with death while on an assignment. Will their relationship of nearly a decade be more threatened by a traditional go at domesticity than the roadside bombs of Baghdad? https://lyricstage.com/main_stage/time_stands_still/
WILD SWANS
Location:
LOEB DRAMA CENTER, 64 Brattle St., Cambridge
China, at the heart of the 20th Century, became a nation transformed beyond recognition. Through the eyes of one fiercely courageous family, Wild Swans takes us on a journey from the early days of Communist hope and struggle, through the chaos and confusion of Mao's Cultural Revolution, to the birth of a superpower. An astonishing human story, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China has sold more than 13 million copies in 36 languages. This first ever stage version brings together author Jung Chang with playwright Alexandra Wood, director Sacha Wares, designer Miriam Buether and Beijing video artist Wang Gongxin.
