The acronym M.A.S.H. suggests two American cultural artifacts. Stylized as M*A*S*H, short for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, it’s the 1972-83 primetime TV drama-comedy about US army doctors in the Korean War (an eponymous film, based on an eponymous novel, preceded the popular show). Alternately, MASH is a fortune-telling children’s game, played with paper and pencil, wherein one employs numerical chance to determine their future spouse, progeny, means of transportation, and dwelling — either a Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House. At Co-Lab Projects in Austin, Austin-based artists Alexis Mabry and Steef Crombach have teamed up to present their own acronymal take.
