“FROM SHEEP HOUSE TO MOTHERSHIP; PAUL MCMAHON AS...CURATOR/PRESENTER DURING THE LAST 60 YEARS OR SO”
Paul McMahon was born with a desire to share his discoveries with others and had a natural history museum at age 11 in the old abandoned sheep house in the backyard in Reading, Mass.
He returned home after graduating from Pomona, where he was lucky enough to study with Helene Winer, James Turrell and Mowry Baden. Jonesing mightily for conceptual art in Boston, where there was virtually none, he found a place called Project Inc. where he could put on two hour art shows of over 30 artists FROM 1972-75; almost all unknown in Boston at the time. He devised a very inexpensive strategy and brought many artists in from New York on his salary as a gas station attendant. The Project Inc. archives of over 30 shows by conceptualists and ‘pictures generation’ artists were acquired in 2010 by the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.
Churner and Churner gallery in Chelsea put on a show and published a book about the series in 2012.
McMahon was ‘Number 2’ to Helene Winer at Artists Space in 1975-77 during which time twelve of the 30 artists later dubbed the Pictures Generation by Douglas Eklund had their first NY shows.
We celebrate its legacy of over a century of being an artists’ enclave and a half-century of birthing the New Age from the embers of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. A town where one can find important figures in several religions, world class musicians, writers, artists, producers, luthiers, filmmakers, recordists, etc. A place where crazy artists and crazier country folks have been rubbing shoulders since 1902 and basically everybody gets along pretty well.
As one of the epicenters of the cosmic love-bomb that hit the world in the 60s, modern Woodstock has always been all about enlightenment; “waking up” to the cosmic mind, to the wrongness of racism and war and to the value of ancient wisdom ways. Music, social activism and mind expansion were the hallmarks of the time and all are well represented in the WOODSTOCK SUMMER SCHOOL at the Mothership
