Gabriel Kuri: "Nobody Needs To Know the Price of Your Saab"

150 events, Feb 4 Through July 3   More dates

Institute of Contemporary Art 

A wool tapestry re-creating a grocery receipt, trash bins designed to look like a piechart, and aluminum blankets turned into banners are among the artworks featured in this survey of 10 years of sculptures and collages by Mexican conceptual artist Kuri (now based in Belgium), who, like recent ICA subjects Damián Ortega and Dr. Lakra, was part of the Mexico City circle of Gabriel Orozco. Organized by the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston, the show looks, by turns, like a space-alien analysis of our shopping habits and distress signals sent from deep inside Wal-Mart.
