I visited SFMOMA with a friend last week; both of us were seriously impressed by the exhibition on the top floor of work by Wangechi Mutu, a young (early 30s) New York artist born in Nairobi. Ten of her pieces are here.

Gender! Collage and installation art! Incorporation of/response to Surrealist representation of the body! I guess it's not surprising I like (what I've seen of) Mutu's work. I'm reminded of how much it amazed me to realize how collage art had been radical and new a century ago when the modern print industry made it possible.

Why does the ICA have to be so tiny? I wish I knew more about current art.
