The 27,000-square-foot structure, known as Building #7, has been fully restored for the exhibition by Bruner/Cott & Associates architects. They span over three stories of a historic mill building situated at the heart of MASS MoCA’s campus. These works of art take up nearly an acre of specially built interior walls that have been installed, per LeWitt’s own specification. This exhibit comprises 105 of LeWitt’s large-scale wall drawings, spanning the artist’s career from 1969 to 2007. The following art is part of Sol Lewitt’s A Wall Drawing Retro-spective exhibit. One of the permanent exhibits on display at the museum are these walls with stylized designs on them. MASS MoCA has both permanent exhibits (or at least semi permanent exhibits) as well as many temporary exhibits.ĭecorated walls are a constant theme at the museum. Once the site of a factory building complex, MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) is now home to a variety of art from a variety of artists and styles.įormerly the Arnold Print Building which operated there from 1860 to 1942 and the Sprague Electric Company, MASS MoCA consists of several buildings, some of which are connected by bridges and walk ways.
