wild color

Whoooooo. Having the craziest schedule this month between knee surgery, a week of my parents visiting, and now spending a week in Denver for a Facing History seminar on Race & Membership. While my mom and dad were in town, we went to Tanglewood for opening weekend (easy activity for the elevated & iced knee) and also managed to see the newly reopened Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (aka Mass MoCA) in North Adams - which is a remarkable reinvention of an old factory/mill complex.

Here's a few photos of the Chihuly (blown glass) exhibit at the MFA, which is probably the most popular exhibit the MFA has had in decades, and gives new meaning to the term "eye candy":
And a few photos of the Sol LeWitt exhibit at the MoCA which they say is a "temporary" exhibit, though it's contracted to stay there 25 years:
I look uncharacteristically monochromatic by comparison - And a Katharina Grosse exhibit that looks like mountains of crushed cray-pas:
This last work, also at the MoCA, was a collection of photos of the sun, printed from various Flickr users:
