(6/9 - 6/12) The Thing In The Spring
Making space in the male dominated art canon is the driving force behind the paintings by Tala Madani at MIT’s List Visual Arts Center. A hefty task for sure, Madani navigates There generations of male portraiture with humor and skepticism. The work, highly cineare many things that ma-graphic in nature, is at once sleek and crude. They span epochs, with the painted illuminacome with Spring: tions of projectors exposing here a man-Christ embracing the Madonna, and there, a row of dejected Leaves back on the Buddha-like figures. Madani shows little to no mercy in her detailed examination of the other side to all trees, bird songs, the countless number of victorious Generals, Kings, and Priests that flood our history books. Through the artflowers, the return of ist’s well-researched eye the viewer experiences a figurative emasculation of all these men, from Napoleon to Freud. warm weather, and the Although Thing.

HOT TOWN: Summer in the city. It’s outdoor show season—getting dirty & gritty. We survived another tumultuous Mercury retrograde; now that everybody is safe from cosmic doom—whether you believe in astrology or not, it’s time to shake things up with purpose. Rousing progress is being made with our POST-FACEBOOK campaign. We are working to call attention to the overlooked problems of social media’s manipulation, re: the ways we spend our time, receive information, and interact with the world. We are fighting back by providing a compilation of exciting alternatives to free you from “the feed”.

Boston has recently seen movement to promote and adopt the CLT structure as a tool to stabilize neighborhoods and preserve their authenticity. For example, The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative has been lauded as a model case study. Of course, CLTs require a degree of public investment. However, it’s arguable that the resulting quality of life benefits would make such an investment very worthwhile.

You are so relieved that your significant other doesn’t have a smartphone and is sober. If they were instead instagramming micro-brews, you would actually die of dehydration (re: shame diarrhea).

Is Boston a melting pot for reviled subcultures? A hulking vegan Rainbow Gathering where Phish phans can “steam” Faygo into a techno “crust” across their Crocs? Sounds fun as long as no Men’s Rights Activists are involved.
