For my birthday? I was given two heavenly days in the Berkshires. We stayed at Porches in North Adams: Hot tub. Sauna. Homemade cookies. And a sunny breakfast room with very strong coffee. What more could a lucky girl ask for? Oh wait, before you answer? I was also treated to the 'blissed out' package, which included two spa treatments. Like I said: lucky.
Porches is across the street from the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. MassMoca (as it is known) was a sprawling, vast complex of 19th-century factory buildings that, through adaptive reuse, has been turned into a modern art museum. This was our second visit to this inspiring free-wheeling space.
We were looking forward to the Sol Lewitt exhibit. I'll tell you about it in my next post.
I live in Oakland and saw those Sol Lewitt paintings for MANY years at SF MoMA, glad they're making their rounds to another city, they really are beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhat a great birthday present!
ReplyDeleteyou could ask for an extra room for me...

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a fun time.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to MassMoca... looking forward to it, soon.
I have not been to MASS MoCA in years - way too long.
ReplyDeleteJust came from SITS to say hi.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard about the Wilco "curated" performance weekend, the Solid Sound Festival, at MassMoCA August 13-15? I read about it in the Guardian UK last week and already have my tickets. Here's the 411: http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=553
