Yesterday I talked about architecture, and today it is on to the art at MASS MoCA. This astounding sculpture is part of an exhibit of seven artists titled "The Material World: Sculpture to Environment." I think the premise is to make wonderful art objects from common materials. This piece is called "White Stag" by collaborators Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen. It is on two floors of the museum, seemingly growing through the floor. The sculpture is made from rolled up paper, apparently on an armature which we cannot see. The sculpture on both floors appear to resemble "roots" of a tree, It is an astounding and magical environment which you can walk through and in and around. It never ceases to amaze me how artists think of such incredible objects.
