Opening Reception | Marc Séguin: I Love America and America Loves Me


This is Marc Séguin's third solo show with the gallery. The title references Joseph Beuys' definitive 1974 performance where Beuys spent three days in a room with a coyote after being transported from the airport while blindfolded and not once touching American soil. This experimental sentiment is echoed in Séguin's recent painted snapshots of America, reflecting on the prerogatives of our cultural empire and the right of individuality we use as a defense for our actions.

Concert | Jill Sobule’s Music from Yentl Featuring the Isle of Klezbos


Based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” and updated with new music and lyrics composed by Jill Sobule, Yentl tells the story of a young girl in 19th century Eastern Europe forbidden to pursue her dream of studying Talmud. Unwilling to accept her fate, she disguises herself as a man. But when she falls in love, Yentl must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her identity. Invigorated with a bracing klezmer/pop/rock score by Jill Sobule (the original “I Kissed a Girl,” “Supermodel”), Yentl asks up-to-the-minute questions about gender and sexuality.
