Bang on a Can Week 3 Photo Blog

It’s always surprising how fast the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival flies by. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the Bang on a Can/ MASS MoCA staff meet and greet. Over the past three weeks we have made a plethora of new friends, been stunned by the talent these musicians have to offer the world, and have throughly enjoyed every concert, recital, and community event we have had the chance to attend. Help us send these amazingly wonderful musicians off in style at the six hour Bang on a Can Marathon this Saturday.

A great idea inspired by Kidspace

fruit-label-art1

Inspired by Luisa Caldwell’s use of fruit stickers in You Art What You Eat in Kidspace, this excellent food blogger, Dinner: A Love Story,  came up with a cool idea for a way to get kids to eat more fruit.  Though we find those little stickers super  annoying, this idea almost makes us wish they came on kale and cauliflower too.

She also gives a shout out to Rural Intelligence, a blog we recommend too!

Jim Findlay’s Video for International George Crumb Day

My awesome friend Meredith in the Performing Arts department took a few minutes to visit with designer/artist Jim Findlay while he was here working on his design and video for the Music of George Crumb concert which is the grand finale to International George Crumb Day here at MASS MoCA. Meredith put together a few clips of her time with Jim to give you idea of what he has up his sleeve for the video portion of the concert. Hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Brittany
