I just got a letter from the ICA inviting me to be the director's guest at a special members-only preview for the next exhibition if only I pledge a year of membership and indicate as much in the enclosed envelope. What do you think? Should I take him up on it? Should I start calling and asking to speak with him, and being like "I just want to know what time he's picking me up! Okay, okay....just tell me this: is he going to wear brown or black, because I'm wearing green, but it's more like a black-green than a brown-green."
In the letter, he also reminded me that the ICA was "one of the only places in Boston where you can see contemporary art (or something like that)." This is like thing with the cheeses. There should be an algorithm by which one can determine whether a thing can truly be said to be "one of the only" of its kind. Or each conceivable geographical location could have a master book of the numbers of things in it. Or the ratio of the number of things generally allotted to the category and things actually in it.
At any rate, I'm hoping to talk this over with the director on our way to the opening.

Yeah, because in the many other places in Boston where contemporary art is on display, there are actually a lot of people around, preventing you from seeing it. At the nearly-empty ICA, no such problem exists. Tell that to the director...
What's the thing with cheeses?
