Paul Ha, Director of MIT List Visual Arts Center
We want to welcome to New England the new Director of the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Mr. Paul Ha.
I personally am very excited to discover that Mr. Paul Ha is back on the East Coast. I have followed his activities from the mid 1990’s when he was the Director of White Columns, New York’s oldest alternative art space. At that time, White Columns was a focal point in the art world for discovering new artists. Their monthly shows were attended by countless art lovers and were a regular topic of rigorous discussion among the young and established artists alike. Continue reading

For Lipkin, architecture exists to accommodate and at times elevate our Continue reading

Here, Mr. Böhlen exhibits two thought-provoking works, WaterBar and MakeLanguage – Synthetic Accents, which investigate the ever-evolving relationship between people and the automation systems that play central—but often unnoticed—roles in our everyday lives.

The Asynchronous Coma by Gary Pennock
Gary Pennock experiments with the intrinsic properties of phenomena and materials to form an aesthetic experience. He attempts to capture the imagination with poetic presentations of Meta themes such as time, nature and mortality that often function at the threshold of perceptual awareness. Attuning time based compositions to our visual and aural apparatus allows him to transform our engagement with screen-based technologies, into potentially therapeutic events that wash across the senses.
