Concert | 5 Punk Bands in the Park


An event conceived and masterminded by former squatter Eric “Slug” Torres, the original Punk Island brought together over one hundred bands scattered haphazardly on thirteen stages across Governor’s Island with no consideration, other than the headline stage, for stylistic, scene, political, racial/cultural/ethnic, or any other affiliation. In the spirit of the Beer Olympics, an all day event spearheaded by, among others, Slug’s friend JohnnyV from New York Scumrock band Public Nuisance, the goal was Anarchy in Action. Purposely by accident, event goers wandered around from stage to stage, seeing and hearing things they never would have expected. The event was such an overwhelming success it was demanded a second be held, and a third. By the fourth year however, Slug was looking for someone to take the helm and direct the monster he had created. Those he had enlisted on the previous year, including Stephanie Plungis, were ready to move on. 2:00 t.b.a. 2:45 PROSTITUTION 3:30 SKAPPOSITORY 4:15 ICONICIDE 5:00 HELL'S TEETH

City Walk | Queer History Walk


A walking tour that explores the queer histories of the neighborhood surrounding the museum. This walk will bring visitors to select sites to reflect on the changing nature of queer community as it formed along the New York waterfront. Visit the former sites of bars, clubs, and public spaces and consider the intersection between artistic and sexual experimentation that occurred alongside the piers of the West Side. The walk will culminate with a look at Day's End (2021) by David Hammons, a new permanent public artwork that sketches the shape of the former Pier 52 building and references a work by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark from 1975. The layered history of Hammons's work serves as a model for how the queer history of the city remains a defining presence in the ever-changing landscape of the neighborhood.

Play | This Hair I Tear Is Mine: Lost at Sea


This is, quite simply, a play about being lost at sea. Less simply, stories, real and imagined, interlock across generations in this playful exploration of longing, identity, gender and art. What does it mean to seek connection in the face of abandonment? And is it even possible to find paradise - at sea or elsewhere? Written by Evie Mason.

Discussion | Art and Geology


Artists Tes­sa Grun­don and Gene Kiegel will speak about the over­laps and geo­log­i­cal con­nec­tions in their joint show cur­rent­ly on dis­play at New York Vir­tu­al Vol­cano Obser­va­to­ry, Emer­gent Stra­ta, which clos­es on July 31. Bring a pic­nic blan­ket or sit on the grass. Pic­ture a cross-sec­tion of earth, lay­ered with the uncon­for­mi­ties and frac­tures of geo­log­ic time. In Emer­gent Stra­ta, Tes­sa Grun­don and Gene Kiegel uncov­er these lay­ers, their ves­tiges and sed­i­ments, in land­scapes: along the con­tour lines of a river­bank, through the intri­cate archi­tec­ture of bees and their waxy walls, and in the neg­a­tive space of indus­tri­al ruins. Col­ors pour forth from geo­log­i­cal folds, seams, and for­ma­tions; this work allows us to see these com­pressed worlds, cross-cut­ting and over­lap­ping the rel­a­tive time of humans and non­hu­mans in the earth-record.

Concert | Raucous, Anything-Goes Pop


Black Midi's live performances are notoriously as exciting as they are dramatic. They remained mysterious for the first years of their existence that preceded their Mercury Prize-nominated debut LP Schlagenheim, eschewing press and social media in favor of building word-of-mouth at their raucous live shows. Their latest album, last year's Cavalcade, doubles down on their anything-goes approach and takes it further--heavier, prettier, and more elaborate. Sal "The Voice" Valentinetti is a charismatic crooner that captivated the country with a stunning audition on America's Got Talent, channeling a love for the lounge act vibes of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra into an act as heartwarming as it is authentic. The show is hosted by New York City comedian Sarah Squirm, who's been making waves as the newest cast member on Saturday Night Live.
