Thompson comments, “As we’ve built the interior partitions to Sol’s specifications, it has become clear that his understanding of architectural space was as masterful as his wall drawings themselves. He consciously sited his wall drawings to engage both the interior of Building #7 and its outside environment. It is stunning to see how well his monumental aesthetic intervention within the heart of the MASS MoCA campus of buildings is going to enliven the entire museum. Sol left almost every window in Building #7 generously open to invite in a play of continuous natural light—which is somehow typical of his creative spirit.”

Should I go?
This blows me away and makes me so curious at the same time. Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, string section of the original Grateful Dead have asked John Kadlecik the lead guitarist from Dark Star Orchestra (a Grateful Dead Tribute band that recreates original set lists) to sit in as lead for a band they threw together called Furthur. This is literally seeing someone's dream come true. It is not just like the movie Rockstar with Mark Walburg, IT IS that movie. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall for that call. Could make a good news story; shit I'm curious what this guy thinks of all this, what does his former band-mates think? Will Dark Star have to find someone to cover John? Perhaps John will start to go down a road of self destruction, cheat on his girlfriend and then have an epiphany and come back to Dark Star? Regardless my thoughts are this, it should be good as John can really play a choice Jerry role, but seeing him in the conext of the Dark Star cover band never did it for me. I always thought that the Dead should have done this when the originally came back last year to tour. The reason being is that Warren Haynes is just too different, too southern rock to really understand the nature of noodling glory.
Well we shall see, but I am torn whether or not to make this my birthday present, because I am curious on so many levels.
