LIST VISUAL ARTS CENTER (MIT)
Wiesner Building, 20 Ames St., Ca.m.bridge (T: Kendall)
Tue-Sun: 12-6 p.m. Fri: 12-8 p.m.
Admission FREE.
"Just as MIT pushes at the frontiers of scientific and intellectual inquiry, it is the mission of the List Visual Arts Center to explore the most contemporary art making in all media," or so say their brochures. Despite the silly analogy, the List Center is impressively cutting-edge, showing artists like Kiki Smith, Ann Hamilton and Matthew Barney. The new director, Jane Farver, was selected as one of the six curators for the next Whitney Biennial: the exhibition program here has credibility to spare.
Through Jan. 2, 2000: "Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons: Meanwhile, the Girls Were Playing" (a lyrical video-installation), "A Unique American Vision: Paintings by Gregory Gillespie."
Jan. 28-Apr. 9, 2000: "Jane & Louise Wilson: Stasi City," "Lilla LoCurto & Bill Outcault: Self Portrait as World Map."
Apr. 27-Jul. 2, 2000: Luca Buvoli.
