A nude performance, a photography fair turns to craft, and a review of Alice Tippit’s erotics.<\/p>\n
Last week, artist Xandra Ibarra, nearly nude, strode through the contemporary galleries of the Museum of Fine Arts, laughing all the while. It was part of a piece appropriately named \u201cNude Laughing,\u201d which she\u2019s staged at various art venues for the last dozen years. Read Staff Reporter Rhea Nayyar\u2019s report on the performance, which rattled museum visitors, scandalized Instagram commentators, and shook Boston to its puritanical core. Speaking of artworks that challenge the limits of the art world, tune in this Wednesday, 3\u20134pm (ET), for a conversation between Editor-at-Large Hrag Vartanian and Indigenous weaver and MacArthur fellow Jeremy Frey. The two will discuss the process of making baskets that blend craft, design, and contemporary art, from harvesting materials to museum installation.
