  • Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture // Fritz Horstman

    Artist and teacher Fritz Horstman discusses his studio practice and his book,  Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments in this Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture. Artist, educator, curator, and author Fritz Horstman's lecture will be two-faceted. He will cover both his new book, which is a companion to Josef Albers’s beautiful and canonical, though sometimes opaque, Interaction of Color, first published in 1963, and some of his own artwork, which is deeply informed by working so closely with the work of Anni and Josef Albers. Horstman's book focuses on 8 essential experiments in Albers’s text, providing more images, step-by-step explanations, new resources, and anecdotes from Albers’s classes and from his own. The lecture will transition to his studio practice, where he'll share images of his Folded Cyanotypes and Folded Palladiums, made by folding photo-sensitive paper, as well as images of several new sculptures and videos in which he describes glacial valleys with a wide range of materials and processes. The lecture will conclude with images of what's happening in his studio this summer.

  • Now On View // Marcia Marcus: Strange and Clear

  • Book Signing with Debra Lennard // “Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like”

    Published on the occasion of a major new career retrospective, Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like provides a much-needed, extensive monographic exploration of a strikingly original artist.

    Headstrong and wry, Marcia Marcus (1928–2025) was a fiercely original artist whose work challenges typical understanding of post-war American art. Rejecting mainstream abstraction, Marcus spent five decades painting what compelled her: languorous male nudes, parenthood, great style—subjects her peers rarely explored—all rendered in her distinctive cool and poised hand. Undaunted by New York’s male-dominated art world, she was a vivid presence in downtown Manhattan and Provincetown, pioneering as one of the first women to stage a Happening. Through decades of self-portraiture, she boldly affirmed her own creative voice and upended narrow expectations of gender with wit and defiance.

    Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival // Concert 3: Goldberg Variations

    Bach's Goldberg Variations hold a peculiar place in the repertoire: endlessly analyzed, yet somehow endlessly mysterious.

    Written in 1741 for two-manual harpsichord, the work unfolds as an Aria followed by thirty variations — canons, dances, character pieces, a boisterous quodlibet — before the Aria returns at the end, the same notes now carrying the weight of everything that has come between.

    Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival // Season closer: String Sextets

    Arnold Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht ("Transfigured Night," 1899) is one of the great emotional experiences in chamber music. Written for string sextet, it follows the arc of a late-Romantic poem: two lovers walking in moonlight, a painful secret revealed, and — through the sheer force of feeling — a transformation. The music doesn't just describe the story. It is the transfiguration.

  • ON VIEW: Gallery Talks with Megan Hinton

    ON VIEW offers an opportunity for artists and art lovers to visit PAAM and engage in a group discussion about selected pieces on exhibition during the 2026 summer season. Facilitator Megan Hinton will lead an investigative inquiry into the form, process, and content of selected artworks. This in depth look will offer viewers surprise and expansion in relation to exhibited artworks. Sessions will also provide artist participants greater insight and influence for their own practice. A deeper visual study of an art work’s historic, conceptual, and technical vocabulary will broaden artistic dialogue. All are welcome and participants may enroll in one, two, or all three gallery talks scheduled over the course of the summer. See what's on view here.
