Jessica Grindstaff and Eric Sanko were just fantastic on WAMC’s Roundtable this morning (listen to the interview here).  Jessica pointed us in the direction of  this collection of photos by Gina Moss from their last residency in Australia.  Look at the photos and listen to the interview at the same time for a complete multimedia presentation about  69° South: The Shackleton Project.

Video Vortex = a weekly installment of our favorite videos from MASS MoCA artists and trailers for upcoming events, plus a few random viral creations as well.

The Waypoint

Since this is a brand spankin’ new Work-In-Progress there is no video for the event. Instead I thought I would entertain you with Wikipedia links to Waypoint, Berkshires, Fringe (theater), and my favorite reincarnation.

Wiki Bonus- Foot!

The Yes Men Fix The World

Dear Yes Men,

Sometimes when I’m feeling really crumby about the way the world works, I think about what you are doing and I smile. Thanks!

As Tripod Versus the Dragon show time approaches, fantastic Performing Arts interns Maggie and Jesse have been increasingly excited about seeing our resident artists in action. They decided that they wanted to get to know Scod, Yon, Gatesy, and The Dragon a little better, and are sharing the wealth. Take the quiz below or on facebook and see who you are most like!

1. What is your spirit animal?

a. A dog. But a lazy one that sleeps in front of the fire all day

b. Panther

c. The mighty shitzu…

d. Manticore

We’re delighted to be able to offer you the first listen to new songs that Tripod just wrote, here in North Adams,  for Tripod vs. The Dragon which is coming up this Saturday. Listen now to Bard and Ivory.

The woman’s voice you hear belongs to the wonderful Elana Stone who plays The Dragon in the show.

But we are wondering: Does that mean Tripod should actually be Quadpod or maybe just Table?

Tripod

Having the Tripod team on campus has been amazing so far; they even went to our local trivia night with a few of our staff members! Believe me they are just as funny in real life as they are in their videos. The show on the 30th is going to be an epic one!

Grace Potter

Looking ahead to March, we are really excited to be hosting vermont based rock songstress Grace Potter and her band the Nocturnals.

Random Goodness

And a little Sol LeWitt fun to get your weekend started!

Cheers,

Brittany
