“One floor up more highly,” MASS MoCA, North Adams, Massachusetts, 2011

The bizarrely incongruous juxtaposition of blue Styrofoam boulders before a blue painted window and blue and red walls, is part of an installation by the German artist Katharina Grosse that fills a huge section of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Grosse’s art is intended to disrupt the logic of its surrounding architecture, while at the same time drawing attention to it. My image is intended to stress the artists message: migrating from the soil onto bits of walls and windows, her paint marries actual space to an illusion, asking viewers to understand that one is no different from the other.
