– Dia Beacon was an artists heaven. What touched me most however was the Richard Serra installation. The sculptures were positioned in succession, in a room naturally lit by enormous windows. Walking through the inside gave me a feeling of complete seclusion. The circular nature of Serra’s walls representational of imagery that was nostalgic to me personally. I felt as if I was hiking through a canyon, but also traveling through space. The forms created by shadows and the color of steel were very autonomous, and helped me transcend reality and time. Robert Simthsons pieces were also visually stimulating. His collection of glass created a tension in me that I could have only fixed by sweeping it up, and his volcano with mirrors created an interesting illusion. -MAX
