Housed in a historic mill building on Mass MoCA’s campus, the installation will cover nearly an acre of wall surface. The stick bends to create an even curve, which is traced. Accordingly, the show’s statistics, as if units in LeWitt’s work, stagger: One hundred drawings made between 19 will be on view for twenty-five years.
