MASS MoCA / North Adams EJ Hill: Brake Run Helix

EJ Hill, an artist known for his physically exhausting durational performances, is inviting visitors to be the star of his debut museum solo show with their own thrilling challenge. Emerging in a blue cart from behind a velvet curtain, a solitary rider plummets over the bubblegum-pink tracks of a roller coaster before ending on a stage. Embedded in the exhilarating installation is a meditation on the history of segregation in American amusement parks and how social inequities can be confronted with joy. massmoca.org

Cannon Fodder Survey

Guns are a leading topic of national discourse right now. Here, we asked professional question asker, pollster Bob Meadow of Lake Research Partners, to pose his nine most important questions regarding firearms in America. We encourage you to ponder these, make notes, and send us your responses.

Question 1 of 9

When current public discussion begins with limiting assault weapons, rather than how are we best kept safe in our homes, schools, and public spaces—are we asking the right questions?

Question 2 of 9

Why are rates of gun violence so much higher in the United States than they are in other developed countries, or even culturally similar countries like Canada or Australia?

Question 3 of 9

Given our heritage and Constitution, can gun violence be reduced by legislation and policing without a fundamental shift in our culture? Why or why not?

Question 4 of 9

Should we be looking for a series of small changes, or one major change, in how we address the question of guns in America? What might the change(s) be?

Question 5 of 9

Should gun violence, as a matter of life and death, be addressed as a public-health issue, the same way we treat drug addiction, communicable diseases, smoking, and obesity?

Question 6 of 9

What do you think of the sentiment that having a good guy with a gun is the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun?

Question 7 of 9

Courts have determined that no constitutional right—even free speech—is absolute when it harms others. Should that logic apply to the availability of guns under the Second Amendment?

Question 8 of 9

Should guns be available for purchase anywhere or from anyone, such as at gun shows or from private owners? Or should guns be available only from licensed and regulated vendors?

Question 9 of 9

What could be the common ground for “pro-gun” and “gun control” advocates to engage in a dialogue to address gun violence constructively and effectively?
