Gallery Talk | Gallery Tour: Salon Style


Salon Style brings together work by artists in which hair and nails figure as media and/or inspirations. Comprised mostly of objects from the permanent collection, Salon Style suggests hair and nails as fluid sites of self-expression where identities and personhood are asserted. Demonstrating the cultural, economic and gender politics of these facets of personal style, several works in the exhibition feature synthetic hair and nails as artistic materials, while others use found objects as proxies for them.

Concert | Sō Percussion performs works by Reich, Cage, Dessner


Program: STEVE REICH Music for Pieces of Wood CAGE Child of Tree CAGE Third Construction BRYCE DESSNER Music for Wood and Strings Not many ensembles make great music on flower pots, but the four dexterous, polyrhythmic masters of Sō Percussion do just that and more. Using drums, marimbas, woodblocks, gongs, and pretty much anything else that can be hit, scraped, or shaken, the group plays some of the most eclectic and consistently excellent music today. Whether performing a new work by The National’s Bryce Dessner or a classic by Steve Reich, Sō Percussion’s “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker) is always a great show.

Tour | Dark Side of the High Line Tour


The skeletal remains of the High Line’s elevated tracks set the perfect scene for a spooky evening. Join a journey to the creepier side of New York City’s most unique park. On this tour you’ll hear tales of the strange eccentric who lived below the tracks and saved them from demise, the curse of a West Side Cowboy who fell to his death from the elevated track, and the children who haunt the street formerly known as Death Avenue. If the moon hangs right perhaps you’ll witness the spectacle of a ghostly ship floating down the Hudson River; is it the long forgotten crew of Henry Hudson’s Half-Moon warning sailors not to go to sea? Or is it Captain Kidd protecting the treasure he buried on Liberty Island? Venture at your own risk through the dark side of High Line.
