Tour | Haunted Photowalk through the NYC Streets


A thrilling afternoon where organizers literally put the 'boo' in 'bounced light' and turn those scary shadows into bold, beautiful portraits. From Fear to Flash Express (30-Min Crash Course): Before hitting the haunted streets, the group will kick things off with a power-packed classroom session to demystify flash photography. You'll learn a fast, no-fuss process that'll help you conquer your fear and take control of your lighting-even in the darkest corners of the city. NYC Costume Photowalk: Once you've armed yourself with knowledge (and maybe some garlic), the group will head out into the urban night for a hands-on photowalk featuring a killer model, dramatic vibes, and endless street-style inspiration. Whether you're lighting under streetlamps or creating ghoulishly good shadows, every attendee will get their chance to direct, shoot, and shine. - Open to all levels, especially the flash-curious and the flash-fearful. - Bring your camera, but don't worry about the lighting equipment, as organizers will be bringing a set of strobes and triggers that will guide the group away from badly lit portraits. - Costumes encouraged (but not required)- because let's be real, everything's more fun with a cape.

Opening Reception | The Last Avant-Garde: Kotlyarov-Tolsty’s Vivrism in Mail Art and Letters -- Solo Avant-Garde Exhibition


A mail art exhibition. Mail art was a movement that embraced sending small-scale works through the postal service – was pioneered in the 1950s by the American artist Ray Johnson and was later embraced by artists associated with Fluxus and other experimental networks. Many of these rebellious artists were dissatisfied with other modernist movements that too readily allowed themselves to be absorbed into museums and the commercial art market. They sought a new form of presentation for their art that was noncollectible and noncommercial – using the postal system as a decentralized gallery and a means of communication and exchange. Mail art held particular appeal for international dissident communities, especially for Russian émigré artists in the 1980s. For them, it was a novel form of avant-garde art that truly returned them to their roots. They were animated by something akin to Kazimir Malevich’s conviction that art ought to be “an activity free from all economic, practical, and religious ideologies.”

Classical Music | Classical Indian Works for Santoor & Tabla (In Person AND Online!)


This concert, from Vinay Desai, will begin with a meditative melodic improvisation that takes the listeners to a place of deep stillness. Once the mood of the raag (melody) is set and the ambience built, the tabla player will join Desai in creating powerful rhythmic phrases that take the listeners on a melodic and rhythmic journey. The concert usually ends with a fast paced piece that enthralls the audience. Usually, this classical piece can last for about 45 minutes, followed by a shorter semi-classical devotional piece. Desai is known for his superlative melodic improvisations and sharp sense of rhythm. With a tabla player, they have an astonishing ability to embrace, dive into ,and reinterpret traditional music.

Book Discussion | National Book Award Finalist Shares Her Latest Novel, The Wilderness (In Person AND Online!)


Angela Flournoy discusses her acclaimed second novel about five Black women over the course of their twenty-year friendship.  She will discuss her book with novelist and critic Vinson Cunningham. Desiree, Danielle, January, Monique, and Nakia are in their early twenties and at the beginning. Of their careers, of marriage, of motherhood, and of big-city lives in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they are finding their way through the wilderness, that period of life when the reality of contemporary adulthood—overwhelming, mysterious, and full of freedom and consequences—swoops in and stays. As these friends move from the late 2000s into the late 2020s, from young adults to grown women, they must figure out what they mean to one another—amid political upheaval, economic and environmental instability, and the increasing volatility of modern American life.

Talk | Whitney-Featured Artist Discusses His Approach to Creating Art about Late-Stage Technocapitalism


Aaron Gilbert gives an artist talk about their work. Gilbert is known for depicting scenes from private everyday life while invoking the weight of institutional forces, setting intimate narratives against the fluorescent glow cast by the iconography of feudal late-stage technocapitalism. Gilbert’s paintings capture the visual framework of his Brooklyn microcosm and the characters that populate it with a hyper-specificity that advances from the social realism of Gustave Courbet, Otto Dix, and George Tooker, focusing on the transformative potential of individuals and love as a transcending power amid a social infrastructure dictated by commodity fetishism.

Discussion | Artist Discusses Her New Work Critiquing the Aesthetics of Capitalist Production & Consumption


Artist Genesis Belanger and Public Art Fund Senior Curator Melanie Kress have a conversation about Genesis Belanger: Heads or Tails, the artist's first major public exhibition in New York. On view in City Hall Park, the presentation brings together three site-responsive sculptural installations that draw on familiar elements of the civic landscape to consider ideas of value, justice, authenticity, and artifice. Genesis Belanger's practice is centered on the creation of sculptural objects and tableaux that draw from, and critique, the aesthetics of capitalist production and consumption. Working in a multitude of materials and techniques, including porcelain, stoneware, metal, wood, upholstery, and painting, Belanger creates psychologically charged mise-en-scenes, creating objects that act as surrogates for human feeling or experience. Her work considers the ways in which advertising manipulates our psychology; the dynamics of consumption; issues of privacy in our increasingly online world; and coping mechanisms for the overwhelm.
