A DOCUMENTARY MYTHOLOGY
It is as gut-wrenching—and as gut-wrenchingly beautiful—as life itself today in these United States of ours. It also acts as a sort of fulcrum towards MASS MoCA's next phase, which will reveal itself soon just beyond our signature Building 5 gallery, which Nick will animate so utterly. Our newly renovated Building 6 will soon double our exhibition space with a series of stunning installations and programs with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Louise Bourgeois’ Easton Foundation, James Turrell, Jenny Holzer, Laurie Anderson, and Gunnar Shonbeck, to name but a few. Stay tuned for more news, as we speed towards the 2017 Memorial Day weekend opening. But there's a lot in store before that. On October 28, commanding vocalist Helga Davis will be the first of many performers to engage Cave’s installation as a performance venue. Stephin Merritt returns to our Hunter Center with his full band when The Magnetic Fields presents a 50-song set in tribute to the songwriter’s 50th year, running over two nights in a world premiere event on November 18 and 19. And Dinosaur Jr. will demonstrate why they continue to be among the most compelling rock bands of the past two decades, with a home-turf concert here on December 10. We've been experimenting with ways to make our programs and exhibitions more easily available to our audiences (while still being able to pay the bills) with Community Free Days, and this year we try something new: Berkshire County residents will get free admission to the galleries on December 1–21 (just bring proof of residency). See some art, do your holiday shopping, and grab a coffee, beer, or meal while you’re in North Adams. Speaking of paying the bills, you can help us do that and also have a lot of fun at our New York City Benefit on October 25. This event raises about a third of our total programming budget for the year, so to say it's important to us would be putting it mildly. If you can’t make it to Manhattan, join us as a member... this is going to be a landmark year for the museum, and we'd love MASS MoCA to be part of your life. We know we love having you be part of ours.
Federico Uribe, White Turtle, 2014
Nick Cave's landmark installation Until, opening October 15, will take your breath away.

Benjamin Clementine, the uncategorizable Londonbased singer-poet, pianist, and composer who won England’s most-coveted Mercury Prize for his 2015 debut album At Least for Now, has been compared to Nina Simone and Édith Piaf for his striking, otherworldly vocal delivery. A oncehomeless Parisian teen who now has cult status in the French music and art world, he’s on the brink of becoming a global phenomenon. His solo performance here was organized by the artist Nick Cave on the occasion of the opening of Nick's MASS MoCA exhibition, Until. massmoca.org

Stephin Merritt, the master songsmith behind the Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs, returns with the full band (and then some) for a 2-week residency culminating in the world premiere of this staged performance of the new Nonesuch Records album: 50 songs celebrating his first halfcentury on the planet. Merritt and band perform two distinct programs of new songs—one for every year of his life—using 50 instruments from his eclectic collection (seven musicians playing seven instruments each, plus Merritt himself). This remarkable show recounts his five decades on earth, from his conception by hippies on a houseboat in St. Thomas to his current hallowed position as one of America’s greatest songwriters. Each performance will be a separate program. Come to either performance, or both nights: songs 1 through 25 on Friday, November 18, and songs 26 through 50 on Saturday, November 19.

JUÁREZ:
A DOCUMENTARY MYTHOLOGY Saturday, December 3, 8pm HUNTER CENTER | $5 MEMBERS + STUDENTS | $12 ADVANCE $18 DAY OF | $24 PREFERRED
This riveting work of theater explores the border community of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, TX—one a hot zone of the drug cartel wars, the other, directly across the border, the selfproclaimed "Safest Large City in America." Led by Juárez-born and raised Founding Artistic Director Rubén Polendo, Theater Mitu's company members condensed hundreds of hours of interviews and field recordings from both cities. Drawing on their research, JUÁREZ: A Documentary Mythology illuminates the region’s memories, hopes, and fears. JUÁREZ: A Documentary Mythology was made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and touring support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

If Neil Young is, as Kurt Cobain said, the Godfather of Grunge, Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis is his consiglieri—a mastermind whose screaming, crunching guitar ushered in an era and helped define alt rock in the 1990s. Formed in Amherst in 1984, Dinosaur Jr. has maintained a looming presence over its three-plus decades, waxing and waning as genres come and go, but re-emerging in the last few years to assume its mantel as elder statesmen of viscerally badass rock ‘n roll. Their latest record, Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not, dropped this summer; they are here, as conquering Western Mass. heroes, to support it. massmoca.org
NICK CAVE
FREE FOR MEMBERS | $8 NOT-YET-MEMBERS
RSVP to 413.664.4481 x8112 or cweber@massmoca.org. Come see artist Nick Cave as you have never seen him before when he transforms MASS MoCA’s Building 5 gallery into an immersive installation akin to entering the belly of one of his signature Soundsuits. Through exuberant, politically charged materials, Cave probes issues relating to gun violence, race, and gender inequality. Wrapped in bright glitter, the work is sharp and almost painfully beautiful. JOIN US FOR A CONCERT IN THE HUNTER CENTER WITH BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE AT 8:30PM
This exhibition is supported by the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, the Barr Foundation, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, Jack Shainman Gallery, Marilyn and Larry Fields, and the Robert Lehman Foundation.
