This exhibition understands art in a very mundane sense as a source of solace.

Rudolf Hundstorfer, Austrian Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, will officially open the exhibition, and Joshua Camp will perform philosophical drinking songs penned by the early twentieth-century Austrian philosopher and economist Felix Kaufmann.

Author Reading | John Callahan & Adam Bradley discuss the book Three Days Before the Shooting ...: the Unfinished Second Novel


An event with the editors of the newly published complete edition of Ralph Ellison's famously unfinished second novel. After his initial success with Invisible Man, Ellison spent much of his time being toasted by the Harlem intelligentsia and never managed to publish a second work of fiction. He spent years writing and rewriting the book that was eventually published posthumously (and vastly pared down) as Juneteenth. Now Ellison's literary executor John Callahan and Professor Adam Bradley present what is being called an "unedited, unadorned" version of the work, complete with notes and supporting material. More than just another edition of a midcentury novel, this new book - and it is a new book - is a literary event.

Jazz | Ted Nash performs from his CD Portrait in Seven Shades


Nash is joined by pianist Dan Nimmer. A discussion follows. "About two years ago, Wynton Marsalis, artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, asked me to compose a long-form piece to be performed at some future date by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. He said it could be anything I wanted, but needed a theme. It didn’t take me long to think of a concept that would truly inspire me to write an hour of new music: each movement of the composition would be dedicated to a different painter."

Screening | Documentary: Pete Chatmon's 761st (2007): Bravery and Bigotry


What the Tuskegee Airmen were to the skies, members of the 761st were to land, requested by General George S. Patton to assist with heavy fighting during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. The 761st was the first unit to enlist African-American soldiers to operate armored vehicles. Soldiers in its Tank Battalion fought for 183 consecutive days in six countries with great success, in the face of a 50-percent casualty rate. Despite these accomplishments, the Battalion did not receive its due credit until 1978, when President Carter issued the Presidential Unit Citation to them. Twelve 761st soldiers recount their experience in the United States Army, fighting for a freedom overseas they did not enjoy in America. 72 min. Screening followed by a Q&A with Chatmon and a reception.
