'Less Is A Bore' Embraces Creative Excess At The ICA

You might be familiar with the phrase, “less is more." It describes minimalism - an art movement characterized by simple content and form - with no personal expression. But a new exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art declares "less is a bore" marking a renewed excitement about Maximalism with its loud and layered complex visuals.

Guest curator Jenelle Porter selected the 40 artists for Less is a Bore: Maximalist Art and Design. We took a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art to speak with her and explore the exhibit.

Less is a Bore is on view at the ICA now until September 22.
