Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings: Straight Lines, Continuous Forms
It occupies nearly an acre of specially built interior walls that are installed—per LeWitt’s own specifications—over three stories of a historic mill building situated at the heart of MASS MoCA’s 19th-century, former factory campus. A landmark collaboration of MASS MoCA, Yale University Art Gallery, the Williams College Museum of Art, and the Sol Lewitt estate, over 60 artists and art students spent six months rendering 105 large-scale wall drawings spanning the artist’s storied career.

Them and Us
Jarvis Rockwell || Figures from the artist’s massive collection 
ERRE’s iconic sculpture Toy-an Horse, a 33-foot wooden Trojan horse first installed at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in 1997, depicted the United States and Mexico as a single creature with two heads facing opposite directions 
Twenty-two years later, the artist was exhibiting the now charred and disembodied heads nestled together, suggesting the ongoing, but damaged, connections between the tow countries that ERRE calls home

Rafa Esparza: Staring at the Sun
Then going about ”browning the white cube”.
”Traditionally made by hand with dirt and other organic material such as clay, horse dung, hay, and water, adobe is among the earliest of human building materials. Due to their remarkable strength, sundried structures were extremely durable and functioned as some of the earliest architectural foundations for indigenous communities across the Americas. Adobe construction is still prevalent across the Southwest, a source of both strong and readily available building materials and income for the skilled laborers who use it.
Esparza explores adobe as both material and politics, creating what he has termed “brown architecture:” “My interest in browning the white cube — by building with adobe bricks, making brown bodies present — is a response to entering traditional art spaces and not seeing myself reflected. This has been the case not just physically, in terms of the whiteness of those spaces, but also in terms of the histories of art they uphold” (“Rafa Esparza,” ArtForum, November 21, 2017).”
