‘Hot Corners’ in North Adams

At Amy Yoes’s site-specific installation “Hot Corners” at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, Mass., through November.

The museum says the show “transforms a 142-foot space in MASS MoCA’s Building 6 into a multi-room, immersive complex with thematic forms and functions. Each of the installation’s five rooms—the Foyer, the Parlor, the Library, the Theatre, and the Drawing Room—are designed with custom-built mobile furniture acting as shifting set pieces for a variety of functions including artmaking, socializing, reflection, and performance. Rather than static and fixed, the installation is a set of evolving propositions and possibilities. Combining Yoes’a passion for architecture, period rooms, interior design, and decorative arts in a dynamic environment ‘Hot Corners’ serves as a destination space for interactive participation’’
