Dance Performance | Performance Breakthrough 2036 (A Speculative Fable): A Dance Lecture/Performance


During the Occupy Wall Street Movement, the artist Noah Fischer wandered Zuccotti Park as a talking coin giving voice to the complaints of a faltering democracy in the face of concentrated corporate wealth. Then one day an old Yippie, famous for pie-in-the-facing Washington elites, admonished him to leave the comfort of the occupation in search of more productive confrontations. Seven years later in a world now sizzling with conflict and audiences programmed into echo chambers, Fischer speculates on future performances that could confront dystopia head on and win. Noah Fischer brings his solo and collaborative art practice into the public arena to highlight intersections between economic and social inequality and art institutions. His sculptures, performances, writings, and organizing practice combine into a multi-layered practice as direct actions, campaigns and installations. He is the initiating member of Occupy Museums and Gulf Labor. He has designed projects (with and without invitation) at MoMA, Guggenheim, Brooklyn Museum, ZKM Museum, and Venice Biennale and Berlin Biennales among other venues.

Film | This Land is Mine (1943): Oscar winning war drama


A mild-mannered school-teacher in a Nazi-occupied town during W.W.II finds himself being torn between collaboration and resistance. 103 min. Director: Jean Renoir. Starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara, George Sanders. Jean Renoir (1894 - 1979) was a French film director, screenwriter, actor, producer and author. As a film director and actor, he made more than forty films from the silent era to the end of the 1960s. His films La Grande Illusion (1937) and The Rules of the Game (1939) are often cited by critics as among the greatest films ever made. Renoir was the son of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. He was one of the first filmmakers to be known as an auteur -- an artist, such as a film director, who applies a highly centralized and subjective control to many aspects of a collaborative creative work; in other words, a person equivalent to an author of a novel or a play.

Opening Reception | Transform: Unorthodox Photography Approaches


An exhibition of recent work by American photographer James Welling. The three bodies of work on view—"Julia Mamaea" (2018–ongoing), "Bodies" (2014–ongoing), and "Chemical" (2010–ongoing)—were created by the artist using unorthodox photographic procedures. Moving between abstraction and representation, these series are emblematic of the breadth of Welling’s ongoing experimentation with the conventions and materials of photography. James Welling was born in 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut. He studied at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh before receiving his BFA and MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. Recent solo presentations include Metamorphosis, which traveled from the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (SMAK), Ghent, to Kunstforum Wien, Vienna (2017) and Things Beyond Resemblance: James Welling Photographs, Brandywine River Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania (2015).

James Baldwin (1924-1987) was an American novelist and social critic.

Some of Baldwin's essays are book-length, including The Fire Next Time (1963), No Name in the Street (1972), and The Devil Finds Work (1976). An unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, was expanded and adapted for cinema as the Academy Award–nominated documentary film I Am Not Your Negro.

Opening Reception | No Place Like: The Nature of Home


The nature of home can be complicated and fluid, fluctuating between internal feelings of belonging and one’s placement in the external world. The works included in No Place Like build a complex understanding around this familiar word through the process of making. A home can be physical, located in a specific time or place, pointed to on a map, a structure where material objects rooted in the domestic proliferate and become the backdrop to one’s life. It can be an emotional space, familiar, or of collective memory, where the trace of one’s community and family remains. Featuring: Mitsuko Brooks, Naomi Cohn, Yewen Dong, Valery Jung Estabrook, Mariano Del Rosario, Maria Fragoso, Emily Kettner, Amanda Konishi, John Lee, Padma Rajendran, Dana Robinson, Jia Sung, Taro Takizawa, and Connie Zheng

Opening Reception | The Big Easy: Stories of New Orleans


The Big Easy features new work by New Orleans-based artist Keith Duncan. Duncan is a visual storyteller, depicting stories both familiar to all and those specific to New Orleans, with a focus on a multidimensional approach both in subject matter and material. The Big Easy consists of two large-scale paintings portraying two scenes recognizable to all, The Wedding and The Funeral. These are two scenes with more similarities than differences. Through Duncan’s expressive and at times comical form of visual storytelling, one will recognize many of the familiar characters in such scenes. The wedding is not without a couple of fights, the drunk uncle, and even a fainting bride. Similar roles are filled in The Funeral, including a separate party of men drinking outside of the reception created on the right side of the house. Keith Duncan was born in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana in 1967. The CUE Arts Foundation New York presented a solo exhibition of his work, followed by inclusion of all works from the exhibition in Prospect.2 by curator Dan Cameron. Further solo exhibitions include the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi, Mississippi and Corridor Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. Duncan was included in Thelma Golden’s Black Romantic exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2002.

Author Reading | This Is Cuba: An American Journalist Under Castro's Shadow


Fidel Castro is dead. Donald Trump was elected president. And to most outsiders, the fate of Cuba has never seemed more uncertain. Yet those who look close enough may recognize that signs of the next revolution are etched in plain view. This is Cuba is a true story that begins in the summer of 2009 when a young American photo-journalist is offered the chance of a lifetime—a two-year assignment in Havana. For David Ariosto, the island is an intriguing new world, unmoored from the one he left behind. From neighboring military coups, suspected honey traps, salty spooks, and desperate migrants to dissidents, doctors, and Havana’s empty shelves, Ariosto uncovers the island’s subtle absurdities, its Cold War mystique, and the hopes of a people in the throes of transition. Beyond the classic cars, salsa, and cigars lies a country in which black markets are ubiquitous, free speech is restricted, privacy is curtailed, sanctions wreak havoc, and an almost Kafka-esque goo of Soviet-style bureaucracy still slows the gears of an economy desperate to move forward. But life in Cuba is indeed changing, as satellite dishes and internet hotspots dot the landscape and more Americans want in. Still, it’s not so simple. The old sentries on both sides of the Florida Straits remain at their posts, fists clenched and guarding against the specter of a Cold War that never quite ended, despite the death of Fidel and the hand-over of the presidency to a man whose last name isn’t Castro. And now, a crisis is brewing. David Ariosto is Executive Producer of GZERO media at the Eurasia Group. Previously, he has worked for Brut, CNN, NPR, Al Jazeera America, Reuters and National Geographic. Between 2009 and 2010, Ariosto was based in Havana, Cuba, working as a photojournalist for CNN. He continues to make reporting trips to the island several times each year. Ariosto also holds a Master’s of Public Policy degree from George Mason University and a Bachelor’s of History degree from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He lives in New York.

Author Reading | White Dancing Elephants: Stories of Diverse Women


A woman grieves a miscarriage, haunted by the Buddha's birth. An artist with schizophrenia tries to survive hatred and indifference in small-town India by turning to the beauty of sculpture and dance. Orphans in India get pulled into a strange "rescue" mission aimed at stripping their mysterious powers. A brief but intense affair between two women culminates in regret and betrayal. A boy seeks memories of his sister in the legend of a woman who weds death. And fragments of history, from child brickmakers to slaves in Renaissance Portugal, are held up in brief fictions, burnished, made dazzling and unforgettable. In seventeen remarkable stories, Chaya Bhuvaneswar spotlights diverse women of color--cunning, bold, and resolute--facing sexual harassment and racial violence, and occasionally inflicting that violence on each other. Bhuvaneswar is a physician and writer. Her poetry and prose juxtapose Hindu epics, other myths and histories, and the survival of sexual harassment and racialized sexual violence by diverse women of color.
