Precarious Birch tries to quest Mass MOCA at least once a year. Find a flat on the stream, that converted barn, footbridge over mountain’s release. Post-industrial conversions provide lessons. Strolling curious various halls, corridors and courtyards inspires Precarious with life-affirming flower. Like a spa for the soul. As a two-week stay at a retreat for a cleanse, IV injections of possibility. Renewal. Creativity baths like in Baden-Baden, sulphur and salts. He inhales works displayed in the middle of the room, hanging from ceilings, decorating walls. Set to tinker with time and space, a residency, building visions for others. Making art for the self, for the rest of the world. Humans generate sacred spaces for expressions of faith, understanding, assurance. Hello from the almost-dead, we give birth to these things. Oh. My. God, there’s hope after all.
