6 Leading Artists Take Over This Historic Massachusetts Village
The exhibition brings together Stephen Hannock, Maya Lin, David Teeple, and Don Gummer
At Hancock Shaker Village, in Western Massachusetts, a 19th-century circular barn is home to heritage breeds of cows, pigs, and goats. But on July 1, activity of a more artistic nature takes over the next-door Poultry House, which once served as the Shakers’ chicken coop. An exhibition titled “Making: Then and Now” features works by six leading artists (Gregory Crewdson, Don Gummer, Stephen Hannock, Jenny Holzer, Maya Lin, and David Teeple), who all have homes in the region. Teeple’s site-specific sculpture—water-filled glass tanks linked by aluminum beams—will illuminate a reservoir on the property. Through November 12. hancockshakervillage.org
