"Cubic Sky"


Mass MoCA never disappoints!  This piece is called "Cubic Sky" by Fred Tomaselli.  These objects are plexiglass cubes, illuminated from inside.  They were painted black, and then the paint was scratched off where all the stars were meant to appear.  They are suspended from the ceiling in a completely dark room.  It was just amazing to enter this room, and after my eyes got accustomed to the darkness,  I discovered some beanbag chairs on the floor.  So I sat down, and just stared at the cubes of stars.  It was so incredibly peaceful that I stayed here for quite a while.  This is such a brilliant piece of sculpture

This sounds and looks amazing. I have not been there yet. What am I waiting for?

There can never been enough dazzle or bling. These look like something I'd love to copy! Thanks for the eye-catcher idea!

Looks very cool! Love that they supply seats so you can relax and view at your leisure. I reminded Joan that we still have to take a "road trip" there...bsk

Yes, you all must take a road trip and see everything there, and this very special exhibit. Interesting that my first reaction was, "How can I make one of these!"
