Greetings and Happy 2022! |

This week we're presenting Boston Center for the Arts, Fuller Craft Museum, and Williams College Museum of Art. As regulations regarding Covid-19 continue to change, please visit gallery or museum websites to confirm their current hours of operation. These exhibitions are immersive and, at times, experimental. We hope they invite you to try something new this year!

Boston Center for the Arts presents Raafat Majzoub: GROUNDS from January 15 to February 20. The Lebanon-based artist's exhibition "is an invitation to reconsider truth as multiple. To change. To engage. And to share. It presents grounds for the validity of our collective fictions and creates new grounds for shared realities to come." The exhibition is part of Majzoub's on-going novel which he began in 2012, The Perfumed Garden: An Autobiography of Another Arab World. The next decade of the project continues in the interactive and immersive space at Boston Center for the Arts and is "considered a living-book." Boston Center for the Arts is located at 539 Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts. For more information on how to visit the exhibition and participate in "authoring" the novel with Majzoub, please visit here.

Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts presents Melissa Stern: The Talking Cure from January 29 to May 15. These visually witty (and sometimes unsettling) sculptures "are a spirited cast of characters formed in clay." They spark dialogue laughter — "Taking its name from Sigmund Freud’s original description of psychoanalysis, The Talking Cure centers Stern’s twelve ceramic sculptures, each one born from her own imagination. To bring them to life, the artist invited twelve writers to create inner monologues for each of the characters and twelve actors to perform them for audio recordings." Fuller Craft Museum is located at 455 Oak Street, Brockton, Massachusetts and is open Tuesday—Sunday from 10 a.m.—5 p.m. For more information, please visit here.

Repro Japan: Technologies of Popular Visual Culture at Williams College Museum of Art
in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Through March 19
|
|
Williams College Museum of Art presents Repro Japan: Technologies of Popular Visual Culture. The show explores Japanese art from the Edo Period (1603-1868) to modern times. The global consumption of Japanese media such as anime, manga and fashion "across different technologies, eras, and cultures has produced an incredible diversity of material—reproductions, appropriations, reverse-importations, parodies, remixes, and tributes. At the same time, the central themes and motifs—sports, fashion, and fighting, along with fantasies of all kinds—have remained remarkably consistent." Williams College Museum of Art is located at 15 Lawerence Hall Drive, Williamstown, Massachusetts. The museum is open to the public Wednesday—Sunday from 10 a.m.—5 p.m. For more information, please visit here.
