art: sol lewitt




when family visited the other day, we went to mass moca (my first time since i've been here...sad i know) and though there were a bunch of exhibits that i really liked, my favorite was the sol lewitt exhibit. i really like contemporary stuff that brings it back to basics, but not just in a red circle on a white canvas kind of way, in an innovative way too. the style of having the work painted directly on the walls and covering the entire thing only adds to the impressiveness. it's divded into phases of the artist's life and by the last floor, the walls are bursting with color. anyways, check out the mass moca's website to get a glimpse at the stuff, although really, pictures just don't do it justice.
