Workshop | Chinese Traditional Painting


Learn the techniques of Chinese Traditional Painting! Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guóhuà, meaning "national" or "native painting", as opposed to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black ink or coloured pigments; oils are not used. As with calligraphy, the most popular materials on which paintings are made are paper and silk. The finished work can be mounted on scrolls, such as hanging scrolls or handscrolls. Traditional painting can also be done on album sheets, walls, lacquerware, folding screens, and other media. Please bring your own brushes; paper and ink will be provided.

Classical Music | Bach at Noon


The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. 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 Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 11, 2018 to May 22, 2019.

Author Reading | Everything Belongs to Us


Professor and author Yoojin Grace Wuertz discusses her book, Everything Belongs to Us. "Two young women of vastly different means each struggle to find her own way during the darkest hours of South Korea’s “economic miracle” in a striking debut novel for readers of Anthony Marra and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie" (Everything Belongs to Us). "Seoul, 1978. At South Korea’s top university, the nation’s best and brightest compete to join the professional elite of an authoritarian regime. Success could lead to a life of rarefied privilege and wealth; failure means being left irrevocably behind" (Everything Belongs to Us). “The intertwined lives of South Korean university students provide intimacy to a rich and descriptive portrait of the country during the period of authoritarian industrialization in the late 1970s. Wuertz’s debut novel is a Gatsby-esque takedown, full of memorable characters.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice).

Author Reading | Dance of Values: Sergei Eisenstein’s Capital Project


Eisenstein’s adaptation of Karl Marx’s Capital (1927–1928) is a phantom in a double sense: although never realized, it has nonetheless haunted the imagination of many filmmakers, historians, and writers to the present day (most recently Alexander Kluge). Furthermore, its first public ‘materialization’ in 1974—a ten-page fragment of the director’s work diaries—was marked by what remained absent: Eisenstein’s images and working materials. Dance of Values aims to conjure the phantom of Capital once again—only this time on the basis of the full scope of Capital’s archival body. This “visual instruction in the dialectical method,” as Eisenstein himself called it, comprises over 500 pages of notes, drawings, press clippings, expression diagrams, plans for articles, negatives from October, theoretical reflections and extensive quotations.   Elena Vogman is an author, independent curator and postdoctoral fellow in the research project “Rhythm and Projection” at the Free University of Berlin. She specializes on the history and theory of cinema and media, with a particular emphasis on forms of visual thinking, practices of montage and the relations between literature, ethnology, art and science.

Opening Reception | De Wain Valentine: Works from 1967 to Present


Valentine incarnates a key moment in the development of the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s and 1970s (in parallel, and somewhat in opposition to New York-based Minimalism). His work caught immediate attention through a fresh vernacular artistic vocabulary that encapsulated the essence of L.A. life. Valentine’s work stems from an unexpected alliance between his extraordinary technical and engineering virtuosity, and his rich and sensual perceptual experience. His sculptural and pictorial career has, for the past six decades, been spanning a colossal, yet, intimate project, and reflects Valentine’s abiding “love affair with the L.A. ocean and sky.” This exhibition offers fresh avenues to engage more fully with Valentine’s remarkably rich and complex ongoing career. Ever since his emergence on the Los Angeles art scene in 1965, Valentine stood out as an artist developing cutting edge technological solutions for his ambitious sculptures, as well as his lesser-known, yet striking paintings. He seamlessly put to use his unique engineering and scientific skills towards previously unseen aesthetic results. Valentine’s abstract and geometric volumes were made out of synthetic plastic and resins, a material almost untouched by artists at the time.

Opening Reception | Harbin, China|Past/Present


A grand synagogue stands in Harbin, China that serves as a museum and a relic of a time when it was the center of a flourishing Jewish community. And much like the Lower East Side, many of Harbin’s Jews eventually left the home they had created there. In this exhibition, Harbin’s Jewish past is presented in historic photographs and personal stories. Steven Lane, a New York artist, has been making art in Beijing and Harbin since 1985. In Harbin, he often uses the former synagogues as temporary studio spaces. Lane’s art in this exhibition focuses on his painting over and reusing of originals and copies of Chinese newspapers, posters and books from the 1960s, which he purchases from markets in Beijing and Harbin.

Author Reading | Ike’s Mystery Man: The Secret Lives of Robert Cutler


Welcome Peter Shinkle, a veteran journalist. Shinkle’s book is a remarkable biography of Robert Cutler, Dwight Eisenhower’s right-hand man for national security at the White House–and a closeted gay man at the center of a gay love triangle. Cutler served in the government during the height of the “lavender scare,” a terrible period in American history when thousands of federal employees lost their jobs just because of their sexual orientation.  The biggest revelation in Shinkle’s book is that Cutler oversaw the executive order signed by Eisenhower that led to the purge of so many of his fellow gay employees.

Author Reading | Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest


This new book describes a paranoid and polarized world of Putin’s making and a leader who, through guile and disruption, has resurrected Russia’s status as a force to be reckoned with. How did Russia manage to emerge resurgent on the world stage and play a weak hand so effectively? Is it because Putin is a brilliant strategist? Is it because of Russia’s abundant energy endowment? Is it because Putin has inappropriately politicized energy trade with Europe and neighboring post-Soviet countries? Or has Russia stepped into a vacuum created by the West's distraction with its own domestic problems and U.S. ambivalence about whether it still wants to act as a superpower? Angela Stent is director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies and a professor of government and foreign service at Georgetown University.

Opening Reception | Time Out of Mind: Down SIde of Eminent Domain


In this body of work, Tomashi Jackson seeks to explore new uses of material, geometric abstraction and color interaction to visualize two disparate moments in history where the arguments of eminent domain are used to dispossess and displace targeted communities in New York. This investigation spans histories from 1857 to the present, from the displacement of what was Seneca Village in our present day Central Park to the contemporary seizures of fully paid for, fully owned properties through the city's use of the Third Party Transfer Program.

Author Reading | All That You Leave Behind: Coping With The Loss Of A Beloved


In 2015 David Carr suddenly collapsed in the newsroom of The New York Times and died shortly thereafter. Wracked by grief, his daughter, documentary filmmaker Erin Lee Carr, went looking for support and comfort in the lifetime of correspondence that they had shared. She was also looking for clues or advice the famous mentor, intrepid journalist, and fiercely loving father might have to offer on how to cope with her devastating loss, and continue on with her life and career. What began as an exercise resulted in her memoir, All That You Leave Behind, a coming of age account that charts family, addiction, and resilience. Carr shares with readers the unparalleled advice and mentorship that her father was known for generously extending to the many young journalists, as well as to his daughters who came up under his care. Erin Lee Carr will be joined by one of her father’s admiring mentees, Ta-Nehisi Coates, to discuss the legacy David Carr has left for his family, the journalistic community, and readers at large. Erin Lee Carr is an American documentary film director, writer, and producer[1] best known for her HBO documentaries Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop and Mommy Dead and Dearest. Carr was listed in Variety's Documakers To Watch in 2015 and was recently named in Forbes 30 under 30 list of most influential people in media. She is the daughter of the late New York Times media columnist David Michael Carr.

Performance | Oratorio: I Will Tell You The Truth About This, I Will Tell You All About I...


United States Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith presents a ten-poem sequence capturing the lives and stories of African American soldiers and their families during the Civil War. Derived entirely from historical record, the sequence includes the voices of a mother pleading with President Lincoln to release her son from the army, a soldier sending love his children back home, and deposition statements given by African American veterans, their widows, and descendants hoping to receive their rightful pensions.

Discussion | Ending Poverty: Transforming the Systemic Structures Responsible for Perpetuating Poverty


Inequality is at the highest level since just before the 1929 depression, with wages stagnant or declining for most Americans. To address the increasing economic divide, many grassroots organizations are working to combat the challenges faced by low- and middle-income Americans. Representatives from New York’s anti-poverty movement will discuss how we can transform the systemic structures responsible for perpetuating poverty and hunger; how to generate political momentum for better jobs, expanded access to work, and protections for low-wage workers and the unemployed; and how to give voice to America’s poor, and empower them to be active in systemic socioeconomic change. With: -- Reverend Liz Theoharis, Director of Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice and founder of the Poverty Initiative -- Frances Fox Piven, internationally renowned social scientist & activist, and Professor of Political Science and Sociology at CUNY Graduate Center -- Deyanira Del Río, Co-Director of the New Economy Project -- Veyom Bahl, Managing Director of the Survival Program at Robin Hood -- Stephanie Luce, Professor of Labor Studies and Sociology, CUNY Graduate Center.

Concert | Surrounding Triangle: Freely Improvised Music with an Extraordinary "3D Sound Experience"


The three involved musicians are not performing on a stage but from the edges of the concert space by forming an imaginary triangle surrounding the audience. Listeners can thus experience and enjoy an outstanding, highly dynamic sound cloud created by the instruments sounding from three directions. These contemporary music performances take place in conventional concert venues as well as at unconventional locations such as living rooms, churches, galleries, factory halls etc. The line-up varies and is taylor-made for each venue to guarantee thrilling and exclusive sound experiences. Werner Puntigam conceptualized Surrounding Triangle #06 especially for the venue. It features Elliott Sharp on electro-acoustic guitar, Ayako Kanda on vocals, and himself on trombone and conch shell.
