For a decade I avoided Dia Beacon. I thought that it was a long way to go to see a room filled with dirt. I was wrong. The only Dia filled with dirt is in NY City, and there’s a lot more to Dia Beacon.
My kids loved walking through the Richard Serra sculptures almost as much as they loved The Larson Farm haunted corn maze.
Serra’s tilting steel walls are in a gigantic room on the ground floor. (I’m sure it’s the only floor strong enough to hold them.) And nothing will make you appreciate, and question, the stability of a Serra sculpture like standing inside one with your children.
