Fascinated by the playful complexity and fascinating figures inherent within this modern art form, the Mastersons became involved in the MADI movement, traveling around the world to collect MADI art pieces and even staying with Carmelo Arden Quin, the movement's founder. When Mr. Masterson's law firm, Kilgore & Kilgore, outgrew its old space and moved to a 1970s building on 3109 Carlisle, the Mastersons decided to give back to the community that has supported the firm by converting the majority of the first floor of the building into the first permanent MADI Museum and Gallery. As such, the renovation of the building itself was designed in the MADI style; one that emphasizes innovative designs containing an array of geometric forms. The concept behind MADI is more than just an assembly of colored shapes, however - the art is universally accessible and appealing, and the more it is studied, the more multifaceted and fascinating it actually becomes.
