Hi - Happy Spring Break!
There's a really amazing tour happening this Wednesday @ the Institute for Contemporary Art. I haven't gotten a chance to visit the exhbition yet (I'm hoping to see it tomorrow) - but I've copy/pasted the tour description below:
This tour will explore Cary Leibowitz's idiosyncratic style in the broader context of accessibility and outsider art. Discussion will be fueled by consideration of flashpoints in the recent history of art and popular accessibility, ranging from the Armory Show to Robert Mapplethorpe’s The Perfect Moment (a 1988 exhibition which premiered at the ICA without a hitch before becoming the center of controversy in Washington, D.C).
I also saw this article on Hyperallergic earlier. It's about a nonprofit - Handicap International - fashioning classical sculptures with prosthetic limbs to promote disability rights and the global need for prosthetic limbs.

Enjoy the rest of break!
