From 7pm — Come Confess in the Red Room. Lineup coming soon. OF FURTHER INTRIGUE For Mundane Mag, I wrote about the NYC Launch Party celebrating Christopher Zeischegg’s novel The Magician. It was a great party, and it’s a wonderful book (available for purchase) I will be in Williamstown, Massachusetts for Thanksgiving this weekend. The Berkshires remain one of the most special places in the world — I made a list of places I want to show my boyfriend while we are there, which I will put below for viewing pleasure and travel purposes: MASS MoCA: My favorite contemporary art museum in the world - putting aside the strength of programming (and the programming usually is pretty strong), the architectural space, lack of crowds, and integration with landscape and nature that Mass MoCA boasts is unparalleled. The museum is located in a converted Arnold Print Works factory building complex, and much of the art is site-specific to the bones and scale of this structure. The permanent (and/or very long term) exhibitions are worth a visit alone - Anslem Kiefer, James Turrell, Sol Lewitt, etc.

Thomas Cole National History Site: Technically located in NY State (meaning this isn’t strictly a guide to Massachusetts / Berkshires but I digress). This is a very lovely historical home in the Catskills that (again) incorporates the natural landscape of the surrounding area into exhibitions and preservation. I visited an exhibition I loved here in 2022, pairing Marc Swanson’s contemporary work with Thomas Cole’s historic landscapes.

I’m excited for this — Arrival Art Fair will launch in the Berkshires next summer. I wrote about how much I love MASS MOCA last week. Arrival will take place at The Tourists - a wonderful converted motel-to-hotel right next door. Very chic and fun.
