Over the span of nine minutes the light slowly and gradually changes colors, completely disrupting the viewer’s sense of time and space. Jesus Is King is a 2019 American experimental concert short film written by rapper Kanye West and directed by Nick Knight.Featuring gospel songs arranged by West and material from his ninth studio album of the same name, it also served as a companion piece to the album.

And here's a tip: many don't realise that MASS MoCA is as much a performing arts venue as museum, so align your trip with one of our almost weekly presentations of music, theater, dance, and film. Perfectly clear is inspired by the visual artwork of the same name by James Turrell. After you've covered the temporary exhibitions, visit as many of our long-term shows that you can. Most of our shows rotate every year - and most of our shows only appear at MASS MoCA, since we specialise in very large, often impossible-to-replicate installations. MASS MoCA occupies a 16-acre site: with 22 buildings, and an intricate network of courtyards and elevated walkways, there is a lot of art to cover. In January 2018, I stepped through the entrance into James Turrells Perfectly Clear, an immersive art installation at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary. How should first-time visitors structure their visit? Here MASS MoCA direct director Joseph Thompson presents his insider guide to its most striking works and unexpected facets. With the site hosting a multitude of festivals and one-off events alongside holding an impressive collection of works from the likes of James Turrell and Jenny Holzer, there is invariably much to see - even if every visit is different. Among the largest contemporary art museums in America, MASS MoCA's vast, varied and continually changing collection has long drawn art and culture lovers from the world over to the small Massachusetts town of North Adams.
