Make a holiday visit to MAD! We will be open 7 days a week Dec 1 through Jan 4.

In the Studios with Ben Light

Fri, Jan 22, 2016

Watch artist Ben Light as he creates table lamps combining the method of stack lamination with the latest digital fabrication techniques.  Visitors will see Light transform the most basic of materials—wood, on a large lathe to produce lamps that are both functional and sculptural. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Wendell Castle Remastered, Light explores the technique of stack lamination that was pioneered by Castle in the 1960s and continues in his tradition of seeing furniture as sculpture. Visitors are invited to meet the artist and discuss his work everyday from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm and 6 pm – 8 pm on Friday.

Please review our health and safety protocols before you arrive. MAD strongly recommends all visitors six months and older are vaccinated against Covid-19 and visitors ages two and up wear face coverings, even if vaccinated. Thank you for your cooperation.
