‘Our Fragile Home’ exhibit closing soon at BMAC

Wednesday, February 5, 2014 — Issue 240

BRATTLEBORO — Have you caught “Our Fragile Home,” Pat Musick's multimedia installation inspired by astronauts' and cosmonauts' impressions of the Earth from space? Jet on over: It's at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) through Sunday, Feb. 9, and then its orbit takes it out of view.

“Our Fragile Home” closes that day to make room for BMAC's Seventh Annual Domino Toppling Extravaganza on Feb. 17, followed by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards exhibition beginning Feb. 22 (reception and awards ceremony is March 8).

BMAC Chief Curator Mara Williams says all other exhibits will remain open through March 8.

Two Saturdays ago, I marched in Washington, D.C. After staying up until 2 a.m. crafting my own clear backpack, I woke up three hours later and went through my checklist. I woke my niece up.
