For the last week, Raja Feather Kelly and the feath3r theory dance company have been in residency at MASS MoCA working through new ideas in our rehearsal space!

In his own words, Kelly’s practice “identifies and magnifies opportunities where popular culture and human desire intersect…The aim is to challenge our audience to recognize their own implication in popular media: how media has trained and molded their desires, relationships, and identities.”

In addition to letting us in on this sneak peak, the Brooklyn-based company will be opening up their rehearsal to MASS MoCA members tomorrow night where they will showcase three not-to-be-missed new works in different phases of development.

This #ThrowbackThursday we`re taking a break from the chilly temps and warming up with a trip to Summer 2021 where @amyyoes "Fire Piece #10" was built and later destroyed — embracing the ultimate ephemerality of life.

Though it started as a "party art project", "Fire Piece #10" eventually became the kernel of an idea for Amy Yoes` current exhibition "Hot Corners" that is currently on view in Building 6 and will host a drop-in style activation during Free Day 2025 on January 25.

"Eluding Capture: Three Artists from Central Asia" will be off view in just under a month in our B4.3 gallery.

This exhibition features the work of three artists who explore the conditions of belonging in Central Asia through photography, textile, film, and video. Together, the artists interrogate what it means to dwell in and on the region. Their works seek pictorial, material, and metaphysical agency from colonial legacies — a search for self-definition that acknowledges the incoherency of the past.

We can hardly believe that @robinfrohardt `s "The Plastic Bag Store" has been off view for nearly a month — time flies here at MASS MoCA!

Today, we`re taking a moment to recognize the talented cast members that helped this immersive experience come to life and whose performances made a lasting impression on our visitors.

“Every time you turn around, there’s something to look at.”

Jeffrey Gibson’s “POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT” has been on view for nearly a month and we are still taking in every element of this vibrant exhibition.

Here, Gibson walks us through the exhibition in our Building 5 gallery and offers some insight into the planning and execution of the exhibition — a space that Gibson views as an invitation to other Indigenous creatives to contribute to a space where difference is not only considered, it is celebrated.
