Not touching the art is one of our most hallowed traditions. But who hasn’t wanted to press a finger against a canvas to see what, say, mid-'50s abstract expressionism felt like? Japan’s Rie Kawakami understands your childish need. As an artist-in-residence at the Lab, she’s been stretching, welding, and arranging wire into a grid covering the floor and rising to the ceiling. On April 8, when the exhibit opened, it must have looked spectacular. But it’s not April 8 anymore, so it probably looks like Bruce Banner tried to pass through it, got mad, and then green. You can follow him anytime. The “Living Grid” is an interactive installation, and people are welcome to distort it as they see fit, which should mean climbing into it and showing everybody how strong you are, if you have any guts.
Today’s opening reception also features Matt Kennedy’s “Nothing Ever Happens” and Michael Namkung’s “Points of Contact.” It starts at 6 p.m.
