Look for Stephen’s shout out to hard-working museum guards everywhere.We’re wondering why North Adams isn’t included on the list of tour stops that flashes on screen. Conspiracy a foot? Or is it because they figured no one in this blue quadrant of this blue state actually watches Fox News?

There are still some tickets left, but they’re going fast.  Don’t be disappointed.  Buy in advance.

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.

MASS MoCA’s former director of design Doug Bartow (now in his own shop, id29) granted an interview. We know we were his best client ever and we know you should look for him on the podium next year as best actor in a documentary short film (but we hope he loses the goatee before then.)

If you’re interested in the history of MASS MoCA, you may find this enlightening.
