Remember when we had a giant "luchador" in our galleries for "Sensácional! Mexican Street Graphics"! The exhibition celebrated the design of comic books, posters, and flyers made by sign painters and lithographic printers in Mexico. "Sensácional! Mexican Street Graphics" was organized by Trilce Ediciones, Mexico City, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (@ybca), San Francisco. #maamboston #massartboston @massartboston #museum #contemporaryart #lucalibre #luchador #mexico #mexicanartists #streetgraphics #comicbooks #design
Do you remember seeing Rirkrit Tiravanija's work "Demonstration Drawings" in our 2017 exhibition "DRAW/Boston," curated by Tomas Vu? As part of the participatory work, @MassArtBoston students sketched images of political protests on the gallery walls throughout the duration of the exhibition. Today is the opening of Tiravanija's "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Green" at the @Hirshhorn! @tomasstudio #maamboston #seenatmaam #massartboston #museum #contemporaryart #boston #bosarts #draw #hirshhorn #rirkrittiravanija #tomasvu
