“The Workers” is an amazing and expansive show currently at MassMoca. It has been getting some really great press lately. The exhibition is co-curated by Carla Herrera-Prats, who I have been TAing for and working with this semester and features work by Claire Beckett, who I will be TAing for in the Spring.
Several weeks ago I was able to visit the exhibition with Carla, her co-curator at MassMoca, Susan Cross, and a half-filled bus of my peers. MassMoca, located in North Adams is a solid three and a half hour bus ride from Boston. I’ve wanted to go to MassMoca for years, well before I lived in Boston and the space is amazing, expansive and haunted by its industrial past. While there were some great shows there including an unbelievable Sol Lewitt wall drawing retrospective, I really enjoyed the Workers. They did an amazing job and meandering the space presents one with the antagonistic, poetic, documentary, participatory, abstract and more.
