Join us for the Opening Reception of Everyday Is All There Is on Friday, March 6, from 5:00-8:00 pm at the ICA at MECA&D.
Everyday Is All There Is draws on Joan Didion’s advice to use the good silver now, rather than saving it for a future that is never guaranteed. The artists in Everyday Is All There Is affirm the value of presence, echoing Didion’s recognition that trouble and celebration arrive with equal unpredictability. While the demand to savor every moment can be exhausting, life unfolds largely through routine—walking the dog, making lists, changing a diaper, guarding one’s solitude. These artists remind us that meaning lies in how we frame such moments. Through subtle acts of resistance and quiet reconfigurations of the ordinary, the exhibition reveals how the banal can become transcendent.
Everyday Is All There Is is on view from March 6 through April 18, 2026 at the ICA at MECA&D.
