Sol Lewitt Project Congratulations

Congratulations to my former student and recent MCLA grad, Sylvia Birns-Swindlehurst, a dynamite abstract painter, who has just begun intensive work as an apprentice for the Sol LeWitt installation at MASS MoCA, which will be the single largest retrospective of Lewitt’s work in the world. I’ll be posting on the Sol LeWitt project more in the future, but see MASS MoCA’s blog announcement by clicking here. For information about the project overall, check this link.

Also on the MASS MoCA blog, a huge congratulations to David Lang, composer and member of Bang-on-a-Can. David just won a Pulitzer. Here in North Adams we pretty much love Lang and the entire Bang-on-a-Can crew including dear friend, the always-interesting magician-muse of contemporary violin, Todd Reynolds.

UPDATE: lovely article in today’s Transcript about the beginning of the Lewitt project, including picture of Sylvia at work — good job!
