Remixing remixed
Our curatorial DJs have been at it again!

In this most recent “remix” in the 1935 gallery, Sam Gilliam’s Situation VI-Pisces 4 and George Segal's Couple in Open Doorway are joined by four new additions: Melvin Edwards’ monumental 1964 Chaino, made of welded steel and chains; Louise Nevelson’s 1964 painted wood assemblage Sky Wave; and two recent gifts that are on view at WCMA for the first time: Jim Dine’s 1974 bathrobe painting 17 Colored Self-Portrait and Larry Rivers’s 1957 large-scale abstract portrait Three Weeks.  

Remixing the Hall is iterative and the objects on view rotate over time. The curators have provided a loose thematic framework so that you can construct your own meaning from the infinite ways objects resonate with each other and with the present.

New on YouTube

If you weren’t able to attend the Tibetan Sacred Tattoo event in April, you’re in luck: You can watch Lama Tashi Norbu, an artist whose work is featured in our Across Shared Waters exhibition, tattoo Williams College student Isaac Rivera ’26 in a video of the program now available on YouTube.

The evening started with a deeply moving smudge ceremony honoring Isaac's Zapotec and Chinantec heritage and ended with him sporting a unique new tattoo that Lama Tashi designed specifically for him based on his Tibetan astrological chart. “This was awesome,” Isaac said after receiving the tattoo, which Lama Tashi inked with the help of Alexis Rosasco, local artist and owner of North Adams tattoo shop AR Designs Fine Art & Tattoo and the co-sponsor of the program. “That was a spiritual journey. … I am very happy that all of you got to share that with me. I am honored to have received this tattoo.”
