Disgust has been interpreted as an evolutionary tool of survival to create distance between ourselves and that which may harm us — particularly foods. In "Dirty & Disorderly: Contemporary Artists on Disgust", Anna Ting Möller, New Red Order, and Nguyễn Duy Mạnh use the aesthetics of disgust to understand the social construction of putrid and squalid things.
On Saturday, February 22, join Williams College graduate student and curatorial fellow Riley Yuen for a members-only tour of the exhibition and learn how artworks made from ceramics, kombucha scoby, and photogrammetry pick at the sutures of society and uncover the ways in which responses of disgust can be (re)programmed.

Yes, that giant glass and steel rectangle *does* fit between those poles!
Artist Sarah Oppenheimer creates precise artworks that manipulate our built environment – altering our frame of spatial reference, displacing our experience of inside and out, and inverting our sense of what is near and far, here and there.
A visitor’s touch sets S-334473 in motion, sending volumes of glass and metal along a 45-degree axis through a defined arc that sneaks between Building 6`s support beams even though it looks almost impossible. In the process, artwork and viewer become joined and move together as one`s eyes follow the motion of the piece and one`s legs back up to take in the full view.
Learn more about Sarah Oppenheimer`s work at the link in our bio or in Building 6: The Robert W. Wilson Building. @foldingenterprises

MASS MoCA and @camhouston are pleased to present Vincent Valdez: “Just a Dream…”, the artist’s first museum survey, including previously unexhibited and new bodies of work.
Spanning over two decades of his work, from early career drawings to recent monumental portraits, “Just a Dream…” cements Valdez as one of the most important American painters working today — imaging his country and its people, politics, pride, and foibles.
The first iteration of the exhibition is currently on view at @camhouston through March 23 before opening at MASS MoCA on Saturday, May 24. Visit the link in our bio to learn more.

Can’t wait to see “The Center Will Not Hold” this Saturday, February 8?
To tide you over, check out this previous performance of “Odeon” (2018) choreographed by @ephratasheriedance — the urban dance theater company dedicated to a new movement language combining the rawness of underground styles with a contemporary aesthetic.
Co-presented with @jacobspillow , the work-in-progress showing of “The Center Will Not Hold” was born from the short duet “a little room” by @ephratasherie and @mashdeez and showcases 11 powerful performers paired with live percussion by John Angeles.

We`re starting off February with two new exhibitions — both are now on view in Building 4!
Co-organized with the Williams College Museum of Art, Ohan Breiding’s "Belly of a Glacier" features an experimental documentary film and a photographic installation that connect acts of mourning to ongoing practices of care that strive to preserve ice — a material that contains both remnants of the past and the conditions of a future world.
In "Dirty & Disorderly: Contemporary Artists on Disgust", Anna Ting Möller, New Red Order, and Nguyễn Duy Mạnh use the aesthetics of disgust to understand the social construction of putrid and squalid things.
Plan your visit today to see these thought-provoking exhibitions!
