Mass MOCA

Opened in 1999, Mass MoCA is a visual and performing arts center located in North Adams, Massachusets. The center's site sits on 13 acres and includes twenty-six 19th century factory brick buildings. From the late 1700's until 1985, the these brick yards occupied various manufacturers from a saw mill, to forgers and cabinet makers, to Arnold Printworks and finally the Sprague Electric Company. Today, a large percentage of the buildings have been beautifully restored, retaining their original textures and character, and charting a new life and territory for the contemporary visual and performing arts.

I had the opportunity to visit Mass MoCa a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed by the restoration and re-design of the gallery spaces, and specifically the installation of Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective, which occupy nearly an acre of specially built interior walls. Here are some images from that visit.

Poetisk Fusion is an outdoor film, lighting and sound installation at Bornholms Kunst Museum, running from October 9 until 18, 19:00 to 21:00. The project is created by Palle Vedel (Manden med Cameraet/Metropolights) in collaboration with artist Daniel Vestergaard, composer Christian Rønn, and photographers Katrina Lee and Ole Christiansen.

Through specially composed lighting and sound, and the manipulation of Dziga Vertovs legendary film Man with a Movie Camera, the installation aims to challenge the museum's architecture, and in the process, connect the lines that set the agenda for Futurism and Constructivism from Western Art History to the Early 20th century.

Poetic Fusion also uses different forms of communication such as the newly developed 3D virtual gallery which will give museum visitors a look into today's most advanced 3D technology. During the projects' 3 phases, individual still images taken by Katrina Lee and Ole Christiansen will be presented in this virtual gallery, as well as hung in the museum for re-interpretation.
