MFA Unveils New Contemporary Art Wing

October 10, 2011 12:00 AM

" With the mid-September opening of the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), the Beantown art world just got a whole lot bigger. The new wing spreads out over more than 80,000 square feet, tripling the exhibition space with seven new galleries. The MFA also offers Contemporary Thursdays, weekly evening events like performances, lectures, and films that will supplement the art on display. The permanent galleries feature MFA holdings by renowned contemporary artists like Kara Walker, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui, and Cindy Sherman.

Other changes at the MFA include a redesigned café and wine bar, a renovated bookstore and shop, and new educational and public spaces. The MFA acquired some new works in conjunction with opening the wing, including Christian Marclay’s notable 24-hour video, The Clock, which is a compilation of clips of clocks and watches from film and television (the MFA shares the piece with the National Gallery of Canada). The new galleries will be installed thematically, as opposed to chronologically, or by movement or medium.
