Clark Art Presents Screening and Talk Back

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, April 25 at 2 pm, the Clark Art Institute welcomes filmmaker Erin Johnson for a screening and discussion of her recent work exploring the entanglements of ecology, feminist science studies, and documentary practice. 
 
The screening and talk take place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
According to a press release: 
 
Johnson's films and installations weave together speculative and archival research, performance, and personal narrative to reveal the colonial and heteronormative legacies embedded within scientific knowledge systems. Developed through collaborations with scientists, theorists, activists, and performers, these works—set everywhere from the United States' largest nuclear weapons facility to one of the country's largest herbaria—offer poetic meditations on survival, erasure, and possibility, while reimagining relationships to the natural world through a queer biocentric lens.

Reminder to Lanesborough, Williamstown Voters: Mount Greylock School Committee a 'Write-In' Election

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Politicians and pundits in recent years have been preaching patience when it comes to getting election night results.
 
That usually means places like California, where vote-counting can be complicated or Michigan, where razor thin margins are anticipated.
 
Add Williamstown and Lanesborough to that list.
 
It is not a matter of pre-election polling suggesting particularly tight races; there is no such polling. Rather, it is a question of how voters will be making their selections in the race for the Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee.
 
None of the six candidates who qualified for four seats up for grabs on the panel appear on the ballots that have been mailed out, used in early voting or will be distributed at the polls on Nov. 3.
 
That means that all votes will be cast as write-ins, and that means it will take significantly longer for election workers to tally up votes in the local election once the polls close at 8 p.m. at Lanesborough Town Hall and Williamstown Elementary School.
 
As always, voters in both towns vote for all four seats on the ballot: two seats for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents in this year’s balloting.
