Performance | Performance Art: Julius Deutschbauer's The Library of Unread Books II


Your imagination and a little bit of your time is what Julius Deutschbauer asks for- in return he will take you on a journey through the books that you have never read! Almost 600 books and volumes stand side by side on shelves, duly archived and labeled with the names of the non-readers, who have been questioned about their unread books by Deutschbauer. The heart of the library consists of all those interviews– while many new interviews will be added at the same time. He asks questions like “How is the weather today?” – “Which book have you not read yet?” – “What society do you think you will meet in your book?” or “Would you be lost in your book?”. He tries to get behind the stories of the unread books. The person being interviewed cannot and must not know the answers to Deutschbauer's many questions. He strongly encourages making presumptions, statements, expectations and intuition.

Colloquium | Democratic Desire


With Simon Glendinning of the London School of Economics & Political Science. This talk will explore the widespread opposition to Eurocentrism in Europe. Defending the idea that “what Europe is” has been so closely bound up with a certain Eurocentric heritage that ‘opposition to Eurocentrism in Europe’ implies a torsion or a turning movement within a space, I will argue that the ‘source’ of this mutation is not to be sought for in terms of a location of the global surface but in the opening up of a world run through by a distinctive form of democratic desire.

Opening Reception | Group Exhibition: Between the Bricks and the Blood: Transgressive Typologies


The grid has been used as a graphic, photographic, architectural, sociological, and conceptual means of investigating the connections and frictions between similar -- and seemingly similar -- images. It can be found in the aesthetic rigors of the factory facades photographed by Bernd and Hilla Becher or in the less-self-conscious collection of suspects on the bulletin board of a local police station. This exhibition looks at various ways the grid as installation can be used to disrupt and illuminate social categories. It features grids of work by Mapplethorpe, Emory Douglas, the Bechers, Walker Evans, Mike Disfarmer, the Minneapolis Police Department, the Associated Press, the IRT Corporation, Warhol and others. The exhibition intends to underscore and undermine the implicit power in the language of repetition and association. It exhibits a grid of themes, including: the portrait as incarceration, the bureaucratic gaze returned, the repetitions of repressive choreography.

Opening Reception | Photographs: Rina Castelnuovo's Moments from Israel


Although Castelnuovo considers her work photojournalism, her moving images have captured the daily life of Israeli people in a way that few other photographers - fine art or otherwise - have. Castelnuovo captures this and many other moments up through the present day in her exhibition. Some are dramatic and moving, while others are everyday scenes of the families and people inhabiting this land. Castelnuovo's striking ability to capture both the extraordinary and the habitual puts her in a class of her own. Rina Castelnuovo studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and is the recipient of many prestigious prizes for her photography.

Opening Reception | Photography: Eirik Johnson's Sawdust Mountain


A culmination of four years photographing throughout Oregon, Washington, and Northern California, Eirik Johnson’s Sawdust Mountain focuses on the tenuous relationship between industries reliant upon natural resources and the communities they support. Timber and salmon are the bedrock of a regional Northwest identity, but the environmental impact of these industries has been increasingly at odds with the contemporary ideal of sustainability. In this exhibition, and accompanying book of the same title (published by Aperture last year), Eirik Johnson reveals a landscape imbued with an uncertain future—no longer the region of boomtowns built upon the riches of massive old growth forests. Johnson (born in Seattle, 1974) is currently based in Boston, MA. His work has been exhibited at venues that include the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago; and the George Eastman House in Rochester. He has received several awards including the Santa Fe Prize in 2005; and a William J. Fulbright Grant to Peru in 1999-2000. His first monograph, Borderlands, was published by Twin Palms Publishers in 2005. Erik Johnson is represented by G. Gibson Gallery in Seattle, and Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco. Johnson is an assistant professor of photography at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.

Discussion | An Assessment of U.S. Strategy in the Middle East & South Asia


The Obama administration came into office with high hopes and expectations for change in U.S. foreign policy, especially in its approach to the Middle East and South Asia. A little more than a year in, there are crucial questions left to answer. What are the United States' strategic objectives in the Middle East and South Asia? Do the United States' efforts - to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, stabilize Afghanistan, and disengage from Iraq - signify a calculated U.S. strategy? Or are they simply isolated tactics? With the leading foreign policy experts: Brian Katulis, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress; Warren Hoge (moderator), Vice President for External Relations of the International Peace Institute; Mohamad Bazzi, Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and Assistant Professor of Journalism at NYU.

Concert | Dendê and Hãhãhães performs from their CD Bahia de Todos os Santos


Brazilian master percussionist Dendê and his band Hãhãhães have released a debut album that melds traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms with the global pulse of jazz, reggae, funk, rumba and Afrobeat. Dendê is a percussionist, singer, composer, bandleader, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist. He’s been a professional musician since the age of 14, when he appeared in the frontline of Timbalada, Carlinhos Brown’s superstar percussion ensemble. Since 2001, he’s been splitting his time between New York and Bahia, and has played with Mongo Santamaria, Giovanni Hidalgo, Zakir Hussain, David Bryne, and Vinicius Cantuária.

Theater | Danielle Staubitz's A Play in Fireworks: Reuniting with Those Left Behind


Always obsessively trying to pinpoint the exact moments her life is going wrong, Abe has made a habit of pushing people away. Now, trapped in the pyrotechnics of her failed relationships, she returns from a year hiding in Europe, haunted by an ancient story of war-torn Athens and forced by guilt and regret to confront the loved ones she left behind.
