Artist Wu Tsang goes deep on Moby Dick, literally and figuratively with an immersive film installation that takes us into the depths of the ocean. But her interpretation of Moby Dick is from the whale’s perspective. Entitled “Of Whales,” on view at the ICA starting February 15th, it’s part of Wu Tsang’s Moby Dick trilogy, which premiered at the Venice Biennale two years ago. We’ll talk to the artist about her decision to take the Moby Dick plunge.
From there we continue our conversation about preserving art amid wartime with a focus on Ukraine. Now living between Massachusetts & Ukraine, Oleksandra Kovalchuck is working to save the art and history of her homeland.
And finally, it’s New England on the biggest screen. We’ll talk to director Daniel Ferguson about his documentary, The Heart of New England, now on view at the Museum of Science’s Mugar Omni Theater.
