ICA exhibit draws on theatrical traditions

The Boston Globe: "'The World as a Stage,' the muddy new exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, calls theater its inspiration. Art has taken many cues from theater in the last 50 or so years. Spectacle and performance have crossed over from stages to galleries. Installation art may incorporate lighting and props. Beyond the art world, as the exhibit's title, from Shakespeare's 'As You Like It,' suggests, we're all staging some kind of artifice, whether it's on YouTube or just in conversation."
