Recent visitors to Locks Gallery might have thought they were in the wrong place at Edna Andrade's current exhibition. Her rocky, surprisingly realist works, to be sure, possess the spirit of her geometric abstraction, but are overwhelmingly figurative when compared with her 30-year career's work. It's a welcome shift, but for those who don't handle change well, the ICA has assembled a formidable retrospective of her work until 1986 that should do the trick. With their circles, diamonds and spirally shapes, Andrade's kaleidoscopic paintings are addictive. Two concurrent shows nicely complement her work. Architect and theorist Greg Lynn believes the new wave in design and architecture is intricacy. He's assembled the high-tech work of a group of artists, designers and architects to prove him right. They layer, fold and weave their ideas into cohesive proposals for real-life objects and interiors. Finally, Justine Kurland creates a personal yet emblematic cinema-in-photographs. Her exhibit collects images of dramatic tension, distantly cool teenage girls and abnormal behavior conducted in decidedly normal landscapes.
Preview reception, Fri., Jan. 17, 6-8 p.m., free; exhibits run Jan. 18-April 6, Institute of Contemporary Art, 118 S. 36th St., 215-898-5911.
