Past Exhibitions & Events
2011 CAVEMAN (December)
No Theater presents Richard Maxwell's CAVEMAN. The cast includes Roy Faudree, Sheena See and Tom Mahnken.
No Theater, based in Northampton since 1974, performed locally for years, often converting alternative spaces into theaters, and toured regularly to New York and San Francisco. In the ‘90s No Theater began touring internationally and also creating new works for other theaters in England, France, Belgium, Germany and Australia. Richard Maxwell, playwright and artistic director of the New York City Players, is a resident writer at New Dramatists and recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship. More Charles Miller at 80: A Retrospective (November 11- December 4)
Charles Miller will be celebrating his 80th birthday with a retrospective of paintings that represent his work since locating to Northampton in the mid 70's. Throughout his career, Miller’s work has focused mainly on man’s inhumanity to man. Since 1998 his paintings have been an exploration of deep space. More
Betsy Feick: The Meadows (October 18-November 5)
An exhibition of posters scaled to evoke a sense of being present in the Meadows, an area only about a half mile from downtown Northampton. Feick will also show smaller archival photographs and hand-made books.
More Livable Communities (October 6-16)
Presented by the Western Massachusetts Chapter of American Institute of Architects
A public exhibit of sustainable design projects produced by New England architects. The 30+ projects included in the exhibit will demonstrate sustainable architectural projects locally and throughout New England. More Linda Bond: A Count (September 5-30)
Bond’s exhibition will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, from which much of her work of this past decade stems. Using gunpowder as her primary medium, Bond focuses on the U.S. response to these attacks and subsequent involvement in violent events. She seeks to transform the subject and very material of destruction into a force for creative change. MORE
Installation by Gordon Thorne (August 15-29)
The "Ellen North" Studies for the "Burning Boat". Mag Hags (August 5-14)
Northampton’s group of notorious collagers is back again for Mag Hags II, the big and bold sequel to last summer’s smash hit, Mag Hags. Ever changing and ever pushing the collage envelope, these collagers will not settle for a pale repeat of the original Mag Hags show that took Northampton’s collage world by storm last August. MORE
Three Seeing (July 8 - July 31)
Three Seeing offers an unconventional showing of the work of three artists, Olivia Bernard, Ellen Grobman, and Lynn Peterfreund. An outcome of regular monthly studio meetings over the past three years, the installation offers a visual meeting of their sculpture, drawing, painting, and printmaking. MORE
Steve Snell's ALASKA WILD! & Other Adventures in Contemporary Art (June 17 - June 30)
An installation by local adventure-artist Steve Snell including video, sculpture, drawing, and painting, featuring three separate "adventures" that seek to explore the mediated and physical reality of American popular culture and his personal relation to it. MORE
Charlotte XC Sullivan: Out of Many, One (June 1 - June 14)
Featuring four projects that explore the art of the assembly by Northampton-based artist Charlotte X.C. Sullivan: Espresseography (in collaboration with writer Wythe Marschall), Place Portraits, The Waiting Room, and We The People. Featuring found objects, fortune telling, photography, the written word, coffee, and several bike rides, the exhibit celebrates and documents Sullivan's everyday environs. MORE
SAW IT COMING: Ephemera from a Once and Future Civilization (May 11 - 30)
The work of artists Anne Beresford and Gary Orlinsky is connected by a sensibility that is romantically nostalgic, and a bit mysterious– suggestive of the infinite & unknowable. The exhibition title refers to things discovered, or uncovered, or that may someday be. Their work is no stranger to absurdity, but comes alive in the poetic relationships between the vernacular, the mundane, and the symbolic. Common ground for both artists is the feeling that for every question there may be multiple answers. Their collaboration explores the wondrous, the beautiful, and the quirky.
Alchemical Opera Project: Come and Sleep (May 2 - 8)
Based on Japanese folklore, Come and Sleep: An Operatic Fantasy for Voice, Cello, and Silence is an experimental opera-theater piece that tells the story of a fox who transforms into a man and his ensuing struggles with loneliness, the dissolution of memory, and the disappearance of magic when he is unable to revert back to his fox-self. Created and performed by founder Todd Trebour, in collaboration with cellist Rachel Capon. MORE
Wire Monkey Dance: RE- (April 26 - 30)
An installation featuring dancing by collaborative directors Jennifer Polins and Saliq Francis Savage, joined by Cynthia Mclaughlin and Justin Norris. Berlin-based videographer Yoann Trellu replaced the company’s signature scaffolding landscape with an interactive video and audio environment that the dancers navigated. A.P.E.’s walls transformed into video montages amplifying and altering events to re-cord, re-peat and re-imagine the moment. MORE
