beacon's plugged-in window treatments

First there was Dia: Beacon, the highly praised adaptation of an historic printing factory into a world-renowned contemporary art museum. Now, there's Electric Windows, the second factory-turned-art destination to grace this idyllic Hudson River Valley town. Situated in a former electric-blanket factory at the foot of Mount Beacon, the aptly named Electric Windows is a 12-month-long art installation that will use the factory's two dozen 8x12-foot windows as the frames for 24 different works of art. A mix of local and internationally acclaimed street, Pop, and graffiti artists will gather in Beacon this coming weekend to create live artwork and subsequently install it onto the building's exterior. With the concept of exhibition turned on its very head, art lovers from far and wide are sure to flock.
