Isaac Julien's Ten Thousand Waves at the ICA Boston
" A combination of rich images and strong storylines makes British artist Isaac Julien’s video installations must-see works of art. Ten Thousand Waves, on view through March 4 at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, is a complex piece that Helen Molesworth, chief curator at the ICA Boston, says she was “bowled over by.”

“I was in London last fall and I saw this new piece [Ten Thousand Waves] by Isaac at the Hayward Gallery,” she says. “I just thought it was so visually lush and complicated and innovative and I thought it would be a great thing to bring to Boston.”

According to Molesworth, the ICA is committed to “bringing artists from around the world to Boston audiences.”

“Isaac is a very prominent British artist, and bringing his work to the States and Boston exposes our audience to the most cutting edge work that’s happening across the world,” she says. “The piece is really innovative in its strategies, both visually and narratively, and the ICA is committed to artwork that’s challenging and innovative.”
