EVENT
Evaporate: Performance Art from Boston and Bergen
November 5, 2023
Evaporate is an aqueous-themed performance art festival inspired by the exhibition and the unique history and architecture of the Waterworks Museum, featuring artists from Performance Art Bergen in Norway and Boston’s own Mobius Artist Group. Organized by Mobius member Heather Kapplow, the performances will activate the museums’ exhibition halls, grounds, and the nearby reservoir, flowing through these spaces in a quick rush, as the city’s water once flowed through these same spaces, and then dissipating just as quickly. Participating artists from Performance Art Bergen: Anette Friedrich Johannessen, Kurt Johannessen, Jan Egil Finne, Nayara Leite, Mia Øquist, Pavana Reid, and Bjørn Ven.

Moving Water: From Ancient Innovations to Modern Challenges
Ancient civilizations engineered water systems that sustained communities for thousands of years. This exhibition spotlights six places that innovated ways to deliver, and control water for human use. It also looks at how climate change is impacting all of those places, forcing public officials to consider new ways to keep the water flowing.
