Join a discussion group, focusing on one work in one hour, facilitated by ICA curators using an art mediation method called Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS).  Rather than exhibition tours, ICA Study Sessions are guided conversations based on curious exploration, critical reflection, and collective meaning making.  All discussions will be held in English. 

Participation is limited to 10 people per session. Please register by 17:00 on the day before each event.

Thu, 8 Apr, 13:00–14:00  (English)

In conjunction with ponds among ponds: an exhibition of threshold behavior & nested life.

ponds among ponds and its related events are presented as the final season of The (Invisible) Garden, a two-year artistic research program that inquires into the garden as a method that shapes our understanding of Nature and our relationships to other species. From Fall 2019 through Spring 2021, the ICA at NYU Shanghai presents artists, thinkers, and practitioners, through exhibitions and events, to consider the garden and ask how might we denature Nature?
