For those in the Boston & Cambridge Area, MIT has a polaroid art and technology exhibition at the MIT Museum. Here's the link

https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/thepolaroidproject

To quote from the project web site

"This unique exhibition explores various dimensions of the art-technology relationship through the exhibition of both art and artifacts. Featured will be over 250 original works by 175 artists, including Ansel Adams, Chuck Close, Barbara Crane, Harold Edgerton, Walker Evans, Hans Hansen, David Hockney, Dennis Hopper, Gyorgy Kepes, Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and William Wegman. The exhibition also showcases more than 75 artifacts--including cameras, prototypes, experimental films and other technical materials--from the MIT Museum’s own historic Polaroid collection."

The workshops look interesting.
 
October thru February 23 for the first set of items.

Then, closed, torn down, re-install of a second set of items.

2nd part March 9 thru June 21.

Sounds very cool.
 
I will definitely go to see this, and I plan to do the workshop on December 13. Thanks for posting! I live right down the street, but would have missed this if you hadn't drawn my attention to it!
