Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its doors in the spirit of the administration's motto: one city, rising together. In keeping with that theme, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art installation, titled “Windows on the City: Looking Out at Gracie’s New York.” This tour repeats every Monday.

Lecture | Sovereignty in China and the Long Legacies of History
A quest for sovereignty characterizes China’s modern history: charting an uninterrupted course since the nineteenth-century Opium Wars, it reflects the country’s tortuous journey within the history of international law. The current territorial disputes in the South and East China Seas, the reunification with Taiwan, and the difficulties with the autonomous regions are all related to the most recent definition of China as a sovereign state, and to the introduction of international law.

Classical Music | Bach Plus One Concert
The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Trinity Baroque Orchestra; Julian Wachner, conductor. This season, Bach at One evolves into Bach + One: featuring one Bach cantata each week paired with a complementary work from composers early to modern. Trinity’s presentation of Bach’s entire monumental output of vocal sacred music has been praised by The New York Times for its “dramatic vigor.” Program Johann Sebastian Bach Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben?, BWV 8 Georg Philipp Telemann Concerto in E minor for Flute and Recorder, TWV 52:e1 Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term ‘baroque’ has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was ‘maestro di capella’ at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today’s music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi’s advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider

Talk | Forage From Fire: A Photographer Turns Her Lens On Personal Tragedy
On October 8, 2017, the Atlas Peak wildfire roared through the neighborhood of photographer Norma I. Quintana, destroying her home and studio. Just days after the smoke cleared Quintana’s documentarian instincts kicked in and she started making work with remnants she salvaged from the ashes. With her film and cameras gone, she turned to her iPhoneX and began her first digital body of work called Forage From Fire. The sequence of images includes jewelry, camera bodies, Christmas ornaments, pendants, doll parts and kitchen tools, framed by the black plastic gloves issued for fire clean-up. The series was featured in a solo exhibition at San Francisco Camerawork in October 2018 and has garnered worldwide press coverage.

Author Reading | Two Writers Discuss The Relationship Between Body And Art
In their new books, T. Fleischmann and Kate Zambreno reflect on life and art through autobiographical narratives. Inspired by the lectures of Roland Barthes and Jorge Luis Borges, Zambreno's Appendix Project collects eleven talks and essays written in the the year following the publication of Book of Mutter, Zambreno's book on her mother's passing. Fleischmann's Time is the Thing a Body Moves Through investigates embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. Their work interrogates important issues: How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? Art is vital to both books. T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s artworks, piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles, as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. Similarly, in her first essay, Zambreno meditates on artistic practice in the context of the painter On Kawara's Date Paintings. The authors join us for a conversation on the essay form, gender and sexuality, and finding community.

Author Reading | If I Had Two Lives: An Inspiring Meditation on Love, Loss, and the Presence of the Past
This luminous debut novel follows a young woman from her childhood in Vietnam to her life as an immigrant in the United States - and her necessary return to her homeland. As a child, isolated from the world in a secretive military encampment with her distant mother, she turns for affection to a sympathetic soldier and to the only other girl in the camp, forming two friendships that will shape the rest of her life. As a young adult in New York, cut off from her native country and haunted by the scars of her youth, she is still in search of a home. She falls in love with a married woman who is the image of her childhood friend, and follows strangers because they remind her of her soldier. When tragedy arises, she must return to Vietnam to confront the memories of her youth - and recover her identity. An inspiring meditation on love, loss, and the presence of a past that never dies, the novel explores the ancient question: do we value the people in our lives because of who they are, or because of what we need them to be?

Author Reading | Kicks: The Great American Story of Sneakers
A cultural history of sneakers, tracing the footprint of one of our most iconic fashions across sports, business, pop culture, and American identity When the athletic shoe graduated from the beaches and croquet courts of the wealthy elite to streetwear ubiquity, its journey through the heart of American life was just getting started. In this rollicking narrative, Nicholas K. Smith carries us through the long twentieth century as sneakers became the totem of subcultures from California skateboarders to New York rappers, the cause of gang violence and riots, the heart of a global economic controversy, the lynchpin in a quest to turn big sports into big business, and the muse of high fashion. Nicholas K. Smith is a journalist and author. He was a staff reporter and web editor for Arizona-based publications Tucson Weekly, Inside Tucson Business, and Explorer Newspaper.
