SUMMARY:Kevin Bubriski: The New Mexicans
DESCRIPTION:The New Mexicans documents Kevin Bubriski’s two-year stay in New Mexico in the early 1980s. A young photographer fresh from the Peace Corps in Nepal\, Bubriski fully immersed himself as a still photographer on the set of the film The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez. This led to assignments as a local news photographer — work that would connect him to native New Mexicans from all walks of life.\nWith his camera always at the ready\, Bubriski covered events from rodeos to mud wrestling\, to the solemn funeral of a murdered Santa Fe priest\, and politicians on the campaign trail – while remaining open to serendipitous encounters along the way. \nHe also documents his extraordinary and insightful access to the residents of the State Penitentiary of New Mexico\, the local arts community\, and public ceremonies and dances of the Northern Pueblos. With the fresh eye of a newcomer to the state who had already explored remote corners of the world\, Bubriski has created a moving and evocative record of a moment in time in the northern reaches of the Land of Enchantment. \nRSVP to this event here. \nAbout the Author:\nKevin Bubriski has exhibited worldwide; his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, and the International Center of Photography\, all in New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven; the Center for Creative Photography\, Tucson; and the Bibliotheque Nationale\, Paris. A recipient of numerous high-profile fellowships\, Bubriski worked for nine years in Nepal\, and has photographed his journeys to India\, Tibet\, and Bangladesh. Author of Portrait of Nepal (Chronicle)\, which won the Golden Light Documentary Award in 1993: Hindu and Buddhist Holy Sites in the Sacred Valley of Nepal (Inner Traditions)\, and The Uyghurs (George F. Thompson). Bubriski lives in Vermont with his wife. \n

SUMMARY:Jason Fulford: Lots Of Lots 
DESCRIPTION:Jason Fulford’s latest book is a vibrant riff on conceptual artist Sol LeWitt’s 1977 publication PhotoGrids. Lots Of Lots transforms the seemingly quotidian objects captured by Fulford in nearly seven hundred photographs into an evocative collection of interconnected and overlapping forms. In this lively presentation\, Fulford presents these images in a 20-minute\, double-projector slideshow\, while narrating stories about time\, mathematics\, former versions of oneself\, and travels across the northern hemisphere.\nEmploying a 3×3 format with nine square images on each page\, Fulford groups his photographs by idiosyncratic features such as color palette\, slogans\, distinctive shadows\, and geometric shape. Untethered by location\, style\, or time\, they move between coherence and collision in reflection of the varying order and disorder of the world. An empty laundrette\, a lone park bench\, and a cascading waterfall are among the many sights that find new resonance in Fulford’s wry and illuminating compositions\, revealing beauty among endless production and consumption. \nAbout the Artist:\nJason Fulford is an American photographer\, publisher and educator\, based in Brooklyn\, New York City and Scranton\, PA. He is a Guggenheim Fellow\, a frequent lecturer at universities\, and has led workshops across the globe. Fulford is co-founder (with Leanne Shapton) of J&L Books\, where he is publisher\, editor and book designer. The primary format for Fulford’s artistic practice is the book\, his output in this medium including Sunbird (2000)\, Crushed (2003)\, Raising Frogs For $$$ (2006)\, The Mushroom Collector (2010)\, Hotel Oracle (2013)\, Picture Summer on Kodak Film (2020) The Heart is a Sandwich (2022) and Everything Must Go (2023)\, to name just a few. He is co-author with Tamara Shopsin of the photobook for children\, This Equals That (2014)\, and co-editor with Gregory Halpern of The Photographer’s Playbook (2014). He is co-editor (with Julie Ault and Jordan Weitzman) of Ordinary Things Will Be Signs For Us: Photographs by Corita (2023)\, and editor of Bruno Munari 47 Fotos (2024). He has had a solo exhibition at Minneapolis Institute of Art. Fulford is a frequent contributor to The Atlantic\, Harper’s\, Aperture\, The New Yorker\, and The New York Times. \n

SUMMARY:In Conversation: MX Oops on Ecstatic Aesthetics & Queer Mysticism
DESCRIPTION:Why is mysticism relevant today and how can the dance floor be a place to build a bridge between personal and transpersonal?\nTransdisciplinary artist and educator MX Oops uses the embodied methodologies of club culture to explore how the dance floor creates a unique opportunity to expand and deepen our senses.\nIn this session\, they will share the forthcoming essay “ECSTATIC AESTHETICS: Queer Mysticism.” The essay queries: if mysticism includes a fluid movement beyond polarities of self and other\, masculine and feminine\, beyond binaries\, is mysticism inherently queer? It unpacks how dance floor mystics harness spiritual energies on and off the dancefloor and how this augments identity\, shifting culture. \nDiscussion will include reflection on Jeffery Gibson’s current exhibition\, POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT\, highlighting how the ecstatic is a disruptive aesthetic language used to infuse spirit into the everyday. \n

SUMMARY:Super Gay Poems: Reception and Readings
DESCRIPTION:Readings from Community Day Contributors and Conversation with Stephanie Burt.\nJoin us for a THANK YOU celebration and reception in the R&D Store as community members\, MASS MoCA staff\, and invited artists read hand-chosen works from Super Gay Poems. The book’s editor Stephanie Burt — a major poet\, literary critic and scholar — provides introductory background to each of the selections in a fun\, Pride weekend free for all! \nThe poems in Super Gay Poems represent the great variety of queer and trans life itself after the Stonewall uprising of 1969. They include near-sonnets\, iambic couplets\, and rhymed quatrains; skinny dimeters and shaped poems; chatty free verse and intentionally inaccurate translations; the demotic and the rococo. Arranged in chronological order\, the selections trace queer culture’s recent evolutions. Frank O’Hara\, Audre Lorde\, Judy Grahn\, James Merrill\, Thom Gunn\, Jackie Kay\, Adrienne Rich\, Chen Chen\, essa ranapiri\, and The Cyborg Jillian Weise — poets widely known and poets who deserve to be so — share their alienation\, their euphoria\, and their encounters with a protean community as it discovers new solidarities and new selves.  A treasury of aesthetic experience and insight\, Super Gay Poems points protestors\, political organizers\, poetry lovers\, and LGBTQIA+ readers toward many beautiful tomorrows. \nAbout the Author:\nStephanie Burt is the author of fourteen books of poetry and literary criticism\, including Don’t Read Poetry. A past judge for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry\, she serves as a board member of the National Book Critics Circle\, is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and writes regularly for the New York Times Book Review\, the New Yorker\, London Review of Books\, the New York Review of Books\, Raritan\, and other publications. She is the Donald and Katherine Loker Professor of English at Harvard University. \n

SUMMARY:Nicholas Carr:Superbloom
DESCRIPTION:“At times alarming\, Superbloom is a profound reminder of what’s at stake if we consume only ultra processed communication at the expense of real\, embodied community.” –Nicholas J. Weyrens \nA celebrated commentator on the human consequences of technology\, Nicholas Carr reorients the conversation around modern communication\, challenging some of our most cherished beliefs about self-expression\, free speech\, and media democratization. He reveals how messaging apps strip nuance from conversation\, how “digital crowding” erodes empathy and triggers aggression\, how online political debates narrow our minds and distort our perceptions\, and how advances in AI are further blurring the already hazy line between fantasy and reality. Even as Carr shows how tech companies and their tools of connection have failed us\, he forces us to confront inconvenient truths about our own nature. The human psyche\, it turns out\, is profoundly ill-suited to the “superbloom” of information that technology has unleashed.\nFrom the telegraph and telephone in the 1800s to the internet and social media in our own day\, the public has welcomed new communication systems. Whenever people gain more power to share information\, the assumption goes\, society prospers. Superbloom tells a startlingly different story. As communication becomes more mechanized and efficient\, it breeds confusion more than understanding\, strife more than harmony. Media technologies all too often bring out the worst in us. With rich psychological insights and vivid examples drawn from history and science\, Carr provides both a panoramic view of how media shapes society and an intimate examination of the fate of the self in a time of radical dislocation. It may be too late to change the system\, Carr counsels\, but it’s not too late to change ourselves. \nAbout the Author:\nNicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows\, a Pulitzer Prize finalist\, and four other acclaimed books. A former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review\, he writes for the Atlantic\, the New York Times\, and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Williamstown\, Massachusetts. \nPhoto credit: Scott Keneally \n

SUMMARY:New York State of Mind
DESCRIPTION:New York State of Mind is the newest rotation of music photography at MASS MoCA. The exhibition provides a snapshot of New York from 1969 to 1999\, a 30-year span that gave us Bob Gruen’s iconic image of revelers at Woodstock\, before depicting clubs such as Max’s Kansas City where we see Johnny Thunders\, Iggy Pop\, Lou Reed\, David Bowie\, Joan Baez\, and Bruce Springsteen. We then go downtown to the Bowery to see Alex Chilton\, the Cramps\, and Patti Smith before finding Television in St. Mark’s Place and Tom Waits presiding over Times Square. And don’t forget the outer boroughs\, where Madonna had her first show on Long Island\, and an uncharacteristic Joey Ramone walks the beach in Coney Island with a surfboard.\nNew York State of Mind is the fifth in a series of curated selections from a private collection of music photography. Past exhibitions include: \nMusicians on Musicians curated by Wilco (2024–2025) \nDeep Water (2023–2024) \nHow does your horn sound? (2020–2022) \nThe Bright and Hollow Sky (2019–2020) \nWilco’s Musicians on Musicians\, as held at MASS MoCA on Friday June 28th through Sunday June 30th\, 2024 \n

SUMMARY:James B. Haile: The Dark Delight of Being Strange
DESCRIPTION:Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom\, James B. Haile III invites us to reimagine history and memory\, time and space\, our identities and ourselves.\nAn ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination\, The Dark Delight of Being Strange combines fiction\, historical accounts\, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life. \nIn a series of stories and essays\, Haile traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement\, racism\, colonialism\, and capitalism to reveal a life beyond social and political alienation. He reenvisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown’s famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate\, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne\, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies. Haile transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing\, he rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman\, Frederick Douglass\, Booker T. Washington\, W. E. B. Du Bois\, Henry Dumas\, and Toni Morrison. \nAbout the Author:\nJames B. Haile\, III is an Afrosurrealist and Afrofuturist writer who is an associate professor of philosophy with a joint appointment in English at the University of Rhode Island. He is the author of The Buck\, the Black\, and the Existential Hero: Refiguring the Black Male Literary Canon\, 1850 to Present (2020). \n

SUMMARY:Erica Feldmann: Intention Obsession
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intention-filled evening of magical rituals for every season of the zodiac\, from Erica Feldmann\, owner and founder of the Salem-based store HausWitch. Even if you’re not ready to commit to a black velvet cloak or coven membership (yet)\, Intention Obsession is a book for all types of seekers\, sharing practical magic and self-care rituals for any kind of lifestyle.\nThis event\, much like the book\, is an antidote to our world of relentless productivity\, oppression\, and estrangement. Organized by the seasons of the zodiac\, from Aries to Pisces\, you’ll learn the archetypal powers of each season and how to create a ritual regimen you can honor all year long. The time is now to craft a life of intention; defy oppressive structures like capitalism\, patriarchy\, and white supremacy; and connect deeply with the energies of the universe.  \nAbout the Author\nErica Feldmann is the owner and founder of HausWitch\, a company devoted to helping people heal their spaces and love their homes. Feldmann holds a Master’s degree in Gender and Cultural Studies\, with a research concentration in Witches. Her innate interest in the connection between home spaces and wellness led to the creation of HausWitch in 2012\, as what started as a “micro budget + magic = makeover” interiors blog would eventually become a thriving brick and mortar shop and online community based in downtown Salem\, Massachusetts. In 2019\, HarperCollins published her first book HausMagick\, and she has been featured in Nylon\, Vogue\, Teen Vogue\, Refinery 29\, Apartment Therapy\, and more. \n

SUMMARY:Sarah Sherman
DESCRIPTION:SNL mainstay Sarah Sherman has become the standard bearer of weird and unhinged hilarity for the legendary show\, amplifying its cultural relevance. As a champion of the outsider\, she’s full of love; as a keen observer and critic of hypocrisy and anyone with hate in their heart\, she’s equally full of gleeful venom. Come for the laughs — stay for the takedowns.\n \nAbout the Artist:\nSarah Sherman was selected as a NEW FACE at the 2021 Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and is known for her popular live show\, Helltrap Nightmare. Sherman previously opened for Eric André on his national tour and wrote on The Eric Andre Show. She staffed on the Adult Swim series Three Busy Debras and Netflix’s Maguc For Humans. She was named one of Vulture’s Comics to Watch for 2018 and one of Time Out magazine’s Five Comics to Watch for 2017. \nPrices include all fees\, which are waived for MASS MoCA members. \n

SUMMARY:Thérèse Soukar Chehade: We Walked On
DESCRIPTION:Set during the early years of Lebanon’s fifteen-year civil war\, We Walked On immerses readers in the landscape of war\, weaving political unrest into everyday life. With Hisham\, a thirty-year-old Arabic teacher\, and Rita\, his fourteen-year-old student\, Chehade has created two richly drawn characters who counter violence with the redemptive power of books and human connection and find authentic hope in untenable circumstances. We Walked On is a timely novel that examines the power of war to undermine our moral sense and asks if peace is ever possible in an unjust world.\nAbout the Author:\nThérèse Soukar Chehade grew up in Beirut\, Lebanon\, and moved to the United States in 1983. She has an MFA in fiction from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her first novel\, Loom\, was published in 2010 by Syracuse University Press and won the 2011 Arab American Award for fiction. She lives in Granby\, Massachusetts\, and teaches English to multilingual language learners at a local public school. \n

SUMMARY:Guster & The Mountain Goats
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6pm \nGuster and The Mountain Goats take to MASS MoCA’s Courtyard D stage. Hear why Boston.com says rock group Guster is “back in a big way\,” and Pitchfork declares that “few working artists have accumulated a richer body of lore than the Mountain Goats” at this unmissable summer show.\n$1 per ticket supports the nonprofit Reverb\, which is dedicated to creating a more sustainable music industry and empowering millions of individuals to take action toward a better future for people and the planet. \n \n \nAbout the Artists:\nGuster\nNot long before the making of their new album Ooh La La\, Guster celebrated three decades together as a band—a journey that’s included landing a series of hits on the Billboard charts\, working with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift\, launching their own music festival\, and amassing an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining\, Guster’s ninth studio LP reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first inspired their formation. A major leap forward for lead vocalist Ryan Miller\, guitarist Adam Gardner\, drummer Brian Rosenworcel\, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds\, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence\, conviction\, and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved. \nThe Mountain Goats\nJenny from Thebes began its life as many albums by the Mountain Goats do\, with John Darnielle playing the piano until a lyric emerged. That lyric\, “Jenny was a warrior Jenny was a thief Jenny hit the corner clinic begging for relief\,” became “Jenny III\,” a song which laid down a challenge he’d never taken up before: writing a sequel to one of his most beloved albums. This is what a follow-up to All Hail West Texas entails. But if you think about the Mountain Goats as they were in 2001\, when Darnielle wrote and recorded that album on his own\, mostly into his Panasonic RX-FT500 boombox\, and how they are now as the recording and touring outfit of Darnielle\, Peter Hughes\, Matt Douglas\, and Jon Wurster\, you may find yourself asking how. That occurred to Darnielle\, too. “If we’re going to do a sequel to a record that was recorded almost entirely on a boombox\,” he asks\,“why not do the opposite and make it as big as possible?” \nMake a Plan \n\n\n\nThis performance is standing-room only and will take place outside\, in MASS MoCA’s Courtyard D rain or shine.
