Classical Music | Pieces from the French Revolution (In Person and Online)


The turn of the 19th century marked a period of political, social, and artistic revolution in France.

Ellen Sauer, flute; Emi Ostrom, oboe; Yan Liu, clarinet; Megan Hurley, French horn; Aaron Goler, bassoon. Pentharmonia is a period instrument wind quintet specializing in late-Classical repertoire. Not long after Haydn began exploring string quartets, composers sought similar chamber combinations for wind instruments, and the quintet emerged. Pentharmonia seeks to capture the unique blend and sonorities of the original instruments which inspired the composers of this repertoire. All attendees must wear masks inside the venue.

Leslie Kern's book is a a probing discussion about the misconceptions associated with gentrification and neighborhood change. Is gentrification really inevitable?

Gentrification Is Inevitable And Other Lies posits that "gentrification is built on finding ways to take what others have created while simultaneously wiping away their presence, contributions, and history."

Performance | American Moon: Seminal Performance Art


A pioneer of performance and multimedia installation art, Robert Whitman has devoted his career to exploration and collaboration. A major figure in the ephemeral Happenings, Whitman first presented his seminal performance American Moon in 1960. Consisting of an architectural environment-come-stage set, the work featured six performers, a dedicated movie, and a series of animated objects. Experiential in nature and circumstance, Whitman’s happenings and specifically American Moon developed from a series of sketches, watercolors and fragmented captions and verbal notation rather than a fixed “script.” For Whitman, time was and “is something material,” to be stretched and teased, as a generator of lived experience. A three-dimensional abstraction collaged from found material and the collaborative engagement of performers and audience. This is a restaging of American Moon over the course of two evenings, featuring a recreation of Whitman’s original set, and engaging a new generation of New York-based performers, including Lizzi Bougatsos, Patrick Gallagher, Morgan Griffin, Miguel Angel Guzman, John Hoobyar, and Raymond Pinto. Working with this contemporary cast, Whitman chooses to return to his seminal “story” to connect the history of the Happenings with the contemporary need and desire for experiential culture. The tidemarks of activity from the performances, along with Whitman’s original notes and drawings. will be on view as a physical exhibition. Start times: 6pm, 8pm

Opening Reception | Carolina Aranibar-Fernández: Agua entre la metalurgia (Water in Between Metallurgy)


A solo exhibition by San Francisco-based artist Carolina Aranibar-Fernández. The exhibition builds upon the artist’s ongoing practice that addresses the geopolitical concerns of exploitation. Through works that incorporate processes of etching, sewing, stitching, cutting, and printing, Aranibar-Fernández seeks to deconstruct complex movements of resources on a global scale. Utilizing the language of maps, charts, and aerial topographies, Agua entre la metalurgia repositions seemingly neutral tools of knowledge and information that are often seeded with the biases of colonialism and imperialist power. Instead of rendering her works in pen and paper or vector and screen, Aranibar-Fernández constructs them with copper, sequins, silver thread, and embroidery, the latter repurposed from shawls worn by Aymara women in Bolivia, where she was born and raised. In materially referencing the dynamics of natural resource control and the invisible labor embedded in global trade, the works provoke a consideration of exploitation that simultaneously centers land, labor, and—crucially—people. “These works, at points disquieting in their glittering opulence,” writes exhibition mentor Alana Hernandez, “underscore the ongoing threat of colonization, genocide, and displacement faced by indigenous populations.”

Book Discussion | The Questionable Ones: Micro-Fictions from Switzerland


With quirky humor and wry insight, Swiss author Judith Keller’s micro-fictions unravel the fabric of daily life. She delves into the aporia of language by taking idiomatic expressions literally, unpacking the multiple meanings of words, and confounding expectations. Seven Zurich tram stops provide the framework for these familiar yet absurd portraits of passers-by, fellow passengers on the tram, the unemployed and the overemployed, the innocent and the suspicious, young mothers and confused elderly. The reader is taken on a journey through the city and offered glimpses of people going more or less successfully about their lives. These deceptively banal glimpses, however, show us more than we expect—they turn the lens back on us, puncture our complacency and ask, ‘Who are you to judge?’   Author Judith Keller will read, followed by a conversation with translator Tess Lewis. In The Questionable Ones, Judith Keller offers a collection of lively snapshots of life in Zurich that reveal the extraordinary lurking inside the ordinary and the ordinary at the core of the extraordinary.

Opening Reception | Visual Implications: Group Show


This show explores how artists tap into our 21st century visual comprehension through gesture, symbolism, and pop-culture iconography— all deeply rooted in art historical traditions. In a flood of text messages, emails, and notifications, we have shifted our focus away from the written word, and instead, have gravitated towards a visual vocabulary of selfies, memes, and iconographic and pop culture references that signal both personal identities and worldviews, and serve as symbols of literacy and community connectedness in our rapidly developing upcycling image culture. Using the artworks of Charles Clary, Nanse Kawashima, and Cassandra Zampini, viewers are invited to flex their visual literacy by recognizing familiar gestures, symbols, and icons while contemplating the artist’s intention behind each work. When viewed together, these artworks delve into deeper conversations about the seductive power, nostalgia, and simplicity of visual communication, while also addressing the dangers, biases, and miscommunications. The show asks, "As we continue to navigate in this digital age, should we place a higher value on visual literacy? Is our society aptly weighing the Visual Implications?"

Opening Reception | Andrew Hutner & Jarid Blue: WOAH!


Andrew Hutner is a conceptual performance artist. Through the use of sculpture, painting, and improvisational happenings, his work encapsulates the theater of masculinity. In a recent month-long residency, Hutner created “generative performance art” by collaborating with his audience. For this project, which is best described as “art-making meets social experiment,” spectators threw paintballs while he worked on two paintings. Participants could choose either “conflict” (throw paint at him) or “collaboration” (aim for the canvas). Hutner continually expands his practice to involve communal outreach and collaborative artistic innovation. He currently facilitates weekly “Art Night” gatherings based out of his Chelsea studio where fellow artists are invited to network and co-create. Jarid Blue’s installation series, “Light Baths,” opens a rare window into the relationship between our consciousness and the bodies we inhabit. Blue offers a safe space to empower the subject in shedding societal expectations and embracing their own beauty by photographing them under original designs of projected light. The series is an exploration into multidisciplinary forms of portraiture in a powerful and personal nature. “Light Baths” seeks to shift both the mindset of participant and viewer; an empowering reminder that everyone deserves to revel in their own beauty.

Concert | Colombian Accordionist Upends the Sounds of Cumbia


Colombian singer and accordionist Gregorio Uribe returns for the release of his third album Hombre absurdo (Absurd Man). With his latest album, Uribe decided to focus on writing music next to his life-long companion; the accordion. In his everlasting search for a unique personal sound, he has gone beyond the familiar vallenato to explore the unrecognized rhythms of "sabanero" accordion. The infectious grooves of cumbia, paseaito and pasebol are tinged by Cuban timba, Puerto Rican bomba and Dominican merengue, reinforcing the artist's love of Afro-latin music. His passion for rhythm and harmony is only matched by his admiration of great literature and philosophical works. Echoes of Dostoevsky and Kierkegaard mingle with the sounds of rural Colombia in a manner that we could only deem as "Existential Cumbia".
