Join us for the dedication of Bring me the sunset in a cup by Spencer Finch.
This program is in celebration of one of the newest additions to MIT’s Public Art Collection. Spencer Finch is an American artist whose works explore color, subjectivity, and perception in a variety of media – ranging from large-scale public projects to light installations and watercolors. This site-specific work is a Percent-for-Art commission for the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing and serves as a shimmering meditation on computing and human perception.
About the Artist
Spencer Finch is an American artist whose works explore color, subjectivity, and perception in a variety of media—ranging from large-scale public projects to light installations and watercolors. His material investigations are driven by what he has described as “the impossible desire to see oneself seeing.” Drawing on the artist’s decades-long explorations of light and color, Spencer Finch’s Percent-for-Art commission for the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing is a shimmering meditation on computing and human perception.
The Leroy and Dorothy Lavine Lecture Series was established to honor the Lavines, two prominent Boston art patrons and longtime supporters of the MIT List Visual Arts Center. The Leroy and Dorothy Lavine Lectures bring to the Boston community distinguished art world figures for talks on modern and contemporary art.
