mass MoCA


we all love new york, but sometimes getting out is exactly what
we need.

the massachusetts museum of contemporary art (mass MoCA)
is nestled in the berkshires and occupies a cluster of industrial
buildings that went from housing colonial brick yards, saw mills,
shoe makers, arnold print works and previous owners:
sprague electric through 1942 - 1985.

the character and significance the site holds to new england
and north adams is further strengthened by mass MoCA.
celebrating their 10th anniversary a few months back their cache
of new works and existing installations are linked from building
to building through bridges and viaducts - left from the spaces original
manufacturing days, and making this museum one of the most unique
creative experiences you can have anywhere.

current/ongoing exhibitions include:

- sol LeWitt: a wall drawing retrospective
- simon starling: the nanjing particles
- guy ben-ner: thursday the 12th

please check the mass MoCA webaite for more information
