Bardo Pond plays ICA@50 Closing Party AUGUST 17, 2\u20135PM<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
ICA@50<\/em>\u00a0allowed us to explore, confirm, amend, exorcise, and most importantly, celebrate the past fifty years. A highly personal experience for everyone involved\u2014staff, artists, members, donors, and audience\u2014the anniversary project has been an opportunity to remember and to reminisce.<\/p>\nWe would be remiss to close the celebration without exploring the past performances of Bardo Pond. Casually known as ICA\u2019s \u201chouse band\u201d since the 1990s, Bardo Pond has been entwined in the story of this institution.<\/p>\n
There have been many memorable performances. They played the opening of the 1996 exhibition\u00a0You Talkin’ To Me?<\/em>and recorded a 7\u201d single for the catalogue; they performed for 2 \u00bd hours accompanying Andy Warhol\u2019s film\u00a0Sleep<\/em>(1963) in conjunction with\u00a0The Big Nothing<\/em>\u00a0in 2004; they accompanied artist Rodney Graham in concert at World Caf\u00e9 Live for his 2005 ICA retrospective; and performed at the request of Trisha Donnelly for her 2008 show.<\/p>\nIn addition to their expansive work as musicians and visual artists, members have been involved with the museum in various capacities over the years, from working as preparators to exhibiting their own work at ICA.<\/p>\n
The closing party will feature Bardo Pond with guest DJ LIGHTHEAT. Artist Jeremiah Misfeldt will lift the curse that he cast upon ICA during\u00a0The Big Nothing Cabaret<\/em>\u00a0in 2004. Paul Swenbeck, ICA\u2019s Chief Preparator, launches the zine he produced in conjunction with\u00a0Woe Be Gone<\/em>, a mural that celebrates Margaret Kilgallen\u2019s life and last work, which was presented as part of ICA\u2019s 2001 exhibition\u00a0East Meets West: \u201cFolk\u201d and Fantasy from the Coasts<\/em>.<\/p>\nLil\u2019 Pop Shop popsicles, a variety of snacks, and beer will fuel the celebration, to be held (weather permitting) on ICA\u2019s terrace.<\/p>\n
