In connection with the exhibition The In Between, which features artwork by Susan Brearey and Duane Slick, BMAC is pleased to present Pumpkintown: Songs, Stories, and Magic Lantern Projections from an Imaginary New England Village, at Next Stage Arts Project in Putney, Vermont.
Featuring acclaimed American folk musicians Tim Eriksen and Peter Irvine, with paintings and magic lantern projections by Brearey, Pumpkintown offers a fresh take on history and American music, from a region rarely associated with a regional sound: New England (Northern Appalachia?). Beyond the truck stops and broken hearts of Americana, Pumpkintown reveals a reality that has never been just a faded, black-and-white photograph but evidences a deeply multicultural dynamism where history, imagination, dreams, and genealogies collide.
