Performanc​e POSTPONED until March 27th - Raphael Montañez Ortiz

"NATURE WILL ALWAYS OUT PERFORM THE PERFORMANCE ARTIST" – R.M.O.

Unfortunately Raphael Montañez Ortiz’s performance tonight at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston has been postponed until Wednesday, March 27th, as all flights and trains from the greater NY area are still out of service due to the hurricane.

Please check back on the facebook event or the mfa.org event page for any further updates and we look forward to seeing you in the spring. I am very sorry for this disappointment, but the reschedule date will be even better than the first!





MARIO TESTINO IN YOUR FACE

Opening this weekend at the MFA Boston is Mario Testino's first solo US museum exhibition, titled "IN YOUR FACE"

The exhibit promises celebrity, fashion and nudity with a mix of famous glamour shots and vogue editorials. Should be interesting, at least very different for the MFA Boston... I shall be attending the opening reception on Wednesday and am looking forward to the party!

Raphael Montañez Ortíz @ MFA Boston, POSTPONED until March 27th

Raphael Montañez Ortíz 

(following from mfa.org)

"Since the late 1950s Raphael Montañez Ortíz has directly engaged with the violent and destructive tendencies of society through found objects and action-based art. A veteran of Fluxus and the Destruction Art movement of the 1960s, Ortíz is best known for his piano destruction concerts, but his practice encompasses film, video, sculpture and subtler forms of performance art. At the MFA, Ortíz invites Boston-area performance artists, students and the audience to engage in a new performance, which will be followed by a video screening of several rarely seen works.

This is a FREE event, from 7-9PM on Halloween night. On Wednesday nights after 4 pm MFA admission is by voluntary contribution only. Arrive early to explore the galleries and visit Slippery Surfaces, a video art exhibition in the Krupp Gallery (264) that includes a mesmerizing laser scratch video by Ortíz – The Kiss, 1985".
