Flowers of the Four Seasons: Ten Centuries of Art from the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture p. 4
Through December 12
A dazzling array of Japan’s greatest artistic traditions from ancient to modern are on view in BAM/PFA’s major fall exhibition, which features a selection of more than 100 works of art from one of the most significant collections of Japanese art in America.

Nature into Action: Hans Hofmann
Extended through June 2011
Drawn from BAM/PFA’s extensive Hans Hofmann collection, this installation reveals the relationship between nature as source and action as method in the great abstract painter’s work.

Brent Green: Perpetual and furious refrain
MATRIX 232
Through September 12
Brent Green is a maker of moving things—animated films, kinetic objects, and other eccentric inventions. His MATRIX exhibition coincides with the release of his first feature film, Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then, a fable of love, loss, and compulsive construction.

Hauntology
Through December 5
Drawn primarily from the museum’s recent acquisitions of contemporary art, this exhibition explores a wide range of art through the lens of the concept of “hauntology,” a term coined by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in 1993 to refer to the study of social, psychological, and cultural conditions in the post-Communist period.

Himalayan Pilgrimage
Ongoing
Explore the journey of Buddhism across several centuries and from India into Tibet through exceptionally beautiful objects of sculpture and painting dating from the ninth to the eighteenth centuries.

Thom Faulders: BAMscape

How often do you get a chance to sit, lounge, or study on a work of art? BAMscape invites you to interact with art—and with the museum—in unexpected ways.
