The Peripheterists
curated by Jocko Weyland
June 1 - July 30, 2011
With an often raw and personal undercurrent of neurosis and obsession and a tilt toward the refreshingly unordinary angle, The Peripheterists deal with traditional genres, bringing up old-fashioned but eternal questions about what art is, why people bother. If they walk away from it all do they remain artists, and are the most creative necessarily the ones who "make it?" |

We Have Woven the Motherlands with Nets of Iron
curated by Eric Gottesman and Toleen Touq
May 4 - June 6, 2011, in Amman, Jordan
A line drawn by man across a landscape allows populations to move but also to dream, to pray, to transcend. It is a means of control, at least until new technologies make new movements possible. We Have Woven the Motherlands with Nets of Iron will explore these questions about what remains of these lines in a post-colonial age. The show will occur on this line itself, after it was built, then broken, then revised and revived, at a time with the lines (borders) that this line (the Hejaz Railway) crossed are being redefined.

Change the Channel: WCVB-TV 1972-1982
Curated by Gary Fogelson and Michael Hutcherson
January 12 - March 5, 2011
Artist and filmmaker Robert Gardner was part of a small group of investors in the Boston/Cambridge area who successfully waged the largest, longest coup in FCC history. By taking a closer look at Gardner's 'non-commercials', this exhibition aims to place Gardner's attempts to bring alternative culture-driven programs to a commercial television audience as an act of artistic subversion within mass culture.

You can't get there from here but you can get here from there
Curated by Courtenay Finn
September 15 - October 30, 2010
Borrowing its title from artist Bruce Nauman, You can’t get there from here but you can get here from there diverts and redirects Nauman’s investigation of the relationship between written language and physical behavior. The exhibition explores the relationship between the act of reading and the act of residing and presents a space where reality only makes sense in relation to fiction and fiction only works because it mimics the real.

June 10 - July 11, 2010
The FIFA World Cup is the most important and widely watched sporting event in the world and will run this

the perfect football environment, a sort of mini-soccer paradise at apexart for watching games.
Around the games themselves, there will be talks, events and a series of works that show the curious place
that soccer has in contemporary art. |
