Much thanks goes to Dia Beacon for maintaining their doors opened during the pandemic. More than ever, being able to experience spaciousness during confinement, in a safe environment, feels like a luxury I’m grateful for. The deliberately spars spaces are offering room for the mind to wander [they allow room for individual imagination*], to get inspired, to appreciate the flow of natural light pouring through the many sky and side windows. 

These spaces create a sense of serenity, where one can not only discover art but also rediscover and reconnect with oneself. The stories told are quite different from the interpretive exhibits I am used to create; no interpretive panels with long explanatory texts sometimes better suited for a book, but instead, a label, and... not much else. Actually, a lot more: a door wide opened to intuitive experience, to make our own interpretation of what is in front of and all around us [immersion with critical distance*]; in some ways, the journey is one of inward looking. The space and the artwork, together create a vibration. If we are in tune, it reverberates and amplifies. It feels like a walking meditation, and I wish I could infuse my work and projects with some of this energy, that leaves a long lasting powerful feeling. I feel replenished, satiated, and can return back to my daily life, inspired. Thank you Dia!

Some of the installations and art experienced, in the order of our visit: Barry Le Va, Carl Craig, Dan Flavin, Richard Serra, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Ufan, Gerhard Richter, Donald Judd, Michael Heizer... and of course, the ethereal presence of Robert Irwin. 

Dia Beacon opened in 2003 in a former Nabisco box printing factory and was renovated with the guidance of artist Robert Irwin. Architects: Alan Koch, Lyn Rice, Galia Solomonoff, and Linda Taalman, then of OpenOffice. 

 *Those terms are borrowed from Herman Kossman in the wonderful book Narrative Spaces: On the Art of Exhibiting, p.86.

Barry Le Va. We Lost the master of formalized chaos. Barry made wonderful sculpture and drawings. He was a really great unattached fence post out on the undefined edge of the State of Sculpture.
