The week before moving to Connecticut, my wife and I took a trip to the Boston ICA (Institute for Contemporary Art). The ICA used to be housed square in the middle of Boston, in a small space near the Prodential Center, but it moved to the waterfront of South Boston in late 2006, occupying a beautiful new building, welcoming boats as they came ashore. We hadn't been since they relocated, so we made the time to drop by.
Anyway, the main exhibit was by an artist named Anish Kapoor. Originally from Bombay but now based in London, his work was a treat for the eyes. Large format sculptures/installations took up the gallery and challenged the viewers in the idea of depth and shape. I don't think I've been to a museum and heard the guards say, "Please no touching" as much as at this show. It certainly was hard to resist.
The exhibit closes in just a few weeks. Anyone in the Boston area should really take some time to check it out. Go to the ICA's website for info. Or, check out Kapoor's profile on Wikipedia.

The object in the image you chose to show looks like someone mounted their flat screen TV into a giant marshmallow.
