My favorite exhibition at MASS MoCA was
Material World: Sculpture to Environment. The piece I showed yesterday was part of this, as are the pieces below. What I liked most was how each unique installation led into the next. The installation below is by Orly Genger and was created using 100 miles of rope. It's so intense and just looks heavy. In the third picture you can see how it's juxtaposed with the rear gallery - lightweight twisted paper dripping from the ceiling. I love this particular pairing.
The paper installation by collaborators
Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen continues on the second floor. In the lower (window-less) space root-like structures hang from the ceiling. In the upper space, they seem to grow out of the floor. Both Jake and I laid on the floor and looked up into the trunk, which was every bit as complex as the outside structure.

sweeet!
I was at MASS MoCa last August for the Solid Sound festival. I hid in the paper root system just like Jake did.
George, the interactivity in these pieces was so nice, especially in contrast to Petah Coyne's work, which is beautiful but so much more contained.
that is incredible... i think i may need to make good on my long standing promise to go there someday!
Oh my gosh! That is massive & cool, seems i need to check this out someday! I love the burnt orange color--makes it stand out beautifully
