Our friends just up the block at MCLA’s Gallery 51 in collaboration with Northern Berkshire Creative Arts are hosting a talk by Director Joe Thompson about the LeWitt’s artistic practice and place in art history; the LeWitt Project which will expand our gallery space by about 30% and be a (practically) permanent installation (well, 25 years); and its impact on North Adams and the Berkshires. The talk is free and open to the public.
Thursday, April 3
6 - 8 PM
MCLA Gallery 51
51 Main St. North Adams, MA

Just posted new photos of the LeWitt project. It is looking beautiful and getting ready for wall drawing to begin in the next month or so.

If you’ve been in the cafe at MASS MoCA this month you might have spied this device out the window and wondered what it was. The sculpture is a prototype for one by Spencer Finch that will be installed on the US/Canada border in Calais, Maine, as part of a new work. Spencer installed it in our backyard for a few months to see how it stands up to the elements.

Lots of people you’ve met at MASS MoCA in the press. Tell everyone you knew them when….

Deb Solomon’s interview with Stew (who played in an Alt Cab here on August 14, 2004)

Fritz Haeg profiled in Sunday Styles (who was part of The Believers exhibition in 2007)

Cai Guo Qiang in NY Times and New Yorker (Cai’s Inopportune was originally commissioned by MASS MoCA for Building 5 in 2004.)

If you’re curious about the color-changing fabric Jenny Holzer used for the bean bags check out the website for Chameleon International in Oak Ridge, NC (click on news to see info about the Holzer installation.)
