FINISHING TOUCH Just prior to the museum’s January 25 dedication ceremony, the second-floor Northeast Gallery awaited its unveiling. The space is dedicated to the postwar period. Works include Yayoi Kusama’s Accumulation II (foreground) and Mark Rothko’s Lilac and Orange over Ivory (on wall, second from left).

The TEACHING,” SAYS THE DIRECTOR. wheeled, painted-steel figure (1988) by Native American artist Bob Haozous of a kneeling, pistol-brandishing blond cowboy has been placed alongside a glass- walled staircase in a second-floor gallery of the new Hood Museum of Art. But something isn’t working. A gaggle of employees stands nearby. “It looks a little busy here with the railing,” offers exhibitions staffer John Reynolds. Exaspera- tion hangs in the silence until John Stomberg, the museum’s director, quips: “Eh, we’ll just pull it around until we find the right place,” and the group lets out a guffaw. It’s been more than two years since the Hood shut its doors for the $50-million expansion and renovation project helmed by Na- tional Medal of the Arts-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. On this mild October day, three months before the museum’s grand reopening, it’s still very much a work in progress. Chainlink fencing hides ongoing construction, and, viewed from East Wheelock Street, the new, off-white brick façade floats like a box-shaped cloud over what soon will be a wide, poured-concrete entrance plaza. A 14-by-14-foot plate-glass “vitrine” window juts out from the brick, revealing a tall stepladder in an upstairs gallery. Inside, the high-pitched whir of an industrial vacuum echoes throughout the vo- luminous first-floor atrium, where a long, oak-and-bronze reception desk huddles under cardboard, bits of painter’s tape scatter across soaring, pale-gray Corian walls, and a few protective rugs fan out over the textured granite floor. Elsewhere in the building it is clear the museum is in the throes of staging its first “hang” (curator-speak for what goes on display). In one gallery, an Alexander Calder mobile lies crated on a table. In another, archi- val paper covers a row of European paintings on a wall. In a third, objects from the Native American collection sit on pedestals waiting to be covered with plexiglass bonnets. The Hood’s closure back in March 2016 ushered in a period of intense design and curatorial decision-making that involved, among other things, hundreds of hours of meetings,

Stomberg says, “but it actually looks like it got left accidentally.” The facility was beyond capacity. “Object-based teaching is our forte, but we couldn’t keep up with the demand,” Stomberg says. “And we really want to be the ‘Museum of Yes.’ ” Getting to THE MUSEUM OF YES yes meant prioritizing something invisible to the average visitor: In fact, little has been left to chance in the new museum. When The new Bernstein Center for Object Study features three large discussion of a reimagined Hood first began in 2001, a long list of classrooms, an art-staging area, an office, and a lobby—all behind issues emerged. On a practical level, there was the need to bring the scenes. “In another value system that real estate would have the original 1985 building up to code, correct energy inefficien- been dedicated to more public space: shops, cafe, galleries,” Stom- cies, and update essentials such as lighting and climate control. berg says.

FICTION WITH HIS SAGAPop OF A SODA MAGNATE AND HIS FAMILY, SNOWDEN WRIGHT ’04 SERVES UP A REFRESHING TAKE ON THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL. By JULIA M. KLEIN

“SOFT DRINKS ARE TO AMERICA WHAT TEA IS TO ENGLAND, beer to Germany, wine to France—the national drink,” Snowden Wright suggests as we stroll through the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta on a chilly November morning. The antique vials and elaborate soda fountain, the mystery around Coke’s “secret formula,” the catchy advertising slogans—all served as inspirations for his new novel, American Pop. The book is an ambitious attempt to wrestle with American history as a story we tell ourselves, riddled with secrets, romantic missteps, and the consolations of nostalgia. Its protagonists are members of the fictional Forster family, creators of Panola Cola, or PanCola for short. The culmination of years of early- morning writing and sequestered weeks on his Yazoo County, Mississippi, family farm, American Pop has netted Wright a six-figure advance and a robust 25,000-copy first printing by William Morrow. Wright’s fictional soda company is headquartered not in Atlanta, but in Wright’s native Mississippi. “I wanted to create an alternate world,” he says, “where PanCola became what Coke was.” The third-person narration flashes forward and backward to relate the multigenerational saga of the patriarch, Houghton Forster, who devises the PanCola formula, and the heirs who oversee the company’s subsequent triumphs and tribulations. Along with Coke and other soda companies, the novel draws on the histories of American dynasties LITERARY TRADITION such as the Kennedys, the Vanderbilts, and the Rockefellers. Many of Wright’s characters suffer from a The Mississippi native says Southern writers “investigate what it means to be Southern.” PHOTOGRAPH BY LORIKAY STONE

Interview by LISA FURLONG

“I got into politics out of youthful anger over social inequality.” FINE HANDCRAFTED VERMONT FURNITURE “Some of my successes didn’t necessarily wind up helping people I intended to help. I feel good about changing Somerville for the better, but now the average person probably can’t afford to live there.” “I can’t think of a single vote in Congress that I’d change.” “To get into public life, you have to take positions you’re willing to lose for. For me, peace is one of those issues. I can’t abide the thought of anyone voting to send someone’s child off to war for political reasons.” “The demonization of an opponent is not new, but it is worse than ever. Some advocates of a particular position fail to realize that thoughtful, reasonable people can disagree on some issues and come together on others.” “The idea that compromise is bad is not only bad but dangerous. A lot of people have won races by saying they will refuse to compromise, so whose fault is it when they don’t? It’s a great policy in the House until you realize that to get something done, you have to deal with 434 other people.” “In all my years in politics, not a single lobbyist ever lied to me. Their job was to come in and give me one side of an issue. My job was to go out and look for the other side.” “It’s virtually impossible to balance family life and serve in Congress.” “It will never be possible to get the money out of politics. I laugh at all the people who say they’ll be able to do it.” “Most people are looking to vote for someone perfect. Get over it. You vote for the person that comes closest. If no one can satisfy your criteria, put your own name on the ballot.” “How much a representative brings home to the district is a fair measure of performance, but not the only one. If it were, I’d still be in office. I’m proud I brought home almost $1 billion for Boston’s Green Line extension. People in the district think, ‘We deserved it,’ but there were 20 other projects in America that people deserved just as much that didn’t get funded.” HIS STORY “Losing the primary didn’t alter my view of politics.
