Roof Piece
A trailblazing site-specific work
Roof Piece (1971) by the iconic choreographer Trisha Brown — a trailblazing site-specific work that forever changed the notion of dance’s relationship to the environment in which it’s performed — will explode across our campus, helping bring our year-long 25th Anniversary celebration to a close by highlighting the physical structure that anchors MASS MoCA’s place as one of America’s (and the world’s) most unique art institutions.

About The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA)
The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) is one of the world’s liveliest centers for making and enjoying today’s most evocative art. With vast galleries and a stunning collection of indoor and outdoor performing arts venues, MASS MoCA is able to embrace all forms of art: music, sculpture, dance, film, painting, photography, theater, and new, boundary-crossing works of art that defy easy classification. Much of the work we show in our light-filled spaces, on our technically sophisticated stages, and within our lovely network of late 19th-century courtyards is made here during extended fabrication and rehearsal residencies that bring hundreds of the world’s most brilliant and innovative artists to North Adams all year round.
