Caroline Monnet: Man-made Land

Step into the ICA's glass-fronted lobby and the east wall is covered in Tyvek, the wrap that goes around buildings under construction. Caroline Monnet cut, pleated and sewed it, with plastic sheeting and foil insulation, into geometric "blooms" that spread across roughly 48 by 27 feet.

The materials are the point. The museum sits on harbour landfill, ground that exists because Boston has been making new land for 400 years, and Monnet answers that history with the stuff buildings are wrapped in. The circles and lines come from Anishinaabeg designs on regalia, birch bark baskets and beadwork. In the Seaport, Tyvek usually means another tower is on the way; this lot took Monnet and two assistants seven months of hand-sewing.

It is one wall, so pair it with the galleries. It stays until 21 March 2027, the longest run in the Art Wall's history, and is included with $20 admission, free Thursdays 5 to 9 pm with an advance ticket.
