I love the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as Mass MOCA. I learned of it when it was fairly new, from my friend Elizabeth who lives about a half hour from there.

Recently (July 2 & 3 of 2004), Dave Cole did a performance art piece at Mass MOCA. He and a crew knit a huge US flag from strips of felt, using construction equipment to control the monster knitting needles (25-foot aluminum light poles). Pretty cool, in my book!

The artist said:

“I’ve been knitting in my art work for a number of years and I’m always trying to make things bigger. I always want to see what’s possible, and I haven’t found impossible yet.”
