Screening | Eddie Rosenstein's Sandhogs: The City on Their Shoulders


A screening of the film, followed by a discussion. Meet the men of Local 147, New York's legendary Sandhogs. For nearly 150 years, these urban miners have been blasting through some of the world's hardest rock, creating the tunnels which enable the world's most famous city to function. For almost 40 years, the Sandhogs have been working around the clock on their biggest job ever - City Water Tunnel No.3. As deep as 800 feet under Manhattan, this project is the largest public works construction project in the history of the Western Hemisphere. Over 60 miles long, it's larger in scope than the Panama Canal. When finished, the water tunnel, and the Croton Water Filtration Plant, will help to bring millions of gallons of clean water to New York City every day, keeping our water supply safe for generations to come. Come meet some of the Sandhogs who worked on these projects, along with filmmaker Eddie Rosenstein, who is both a Sandhog and the creator of the History Channel television series, Sandhogs.

Opening Reception | Sculptors Draw


A broad spectrum of approaches to drawing is represented: some of the works on view explore the relationship between drawing and sculpture or other media, while others push the limits of how drawing is defined. Some of these artists’ drawings reveal the indispensability of drawing as an artist’s skill for planning, conceptualizing, and augmenting finished works, while others explore what happens when drawing is elevated beyond its traditional subordinate role, giving it the importance of a finished work of art.

Performance | Eileen Myles' Collection Silence


The artist will create a baroque site-specific work around the possibilities of silence as central to the syntax and punctuation of everyday life. A diverse group of poets will present short pieces and will be joined by a group of students from PS4. Also accompanied by dancers, Buddhists, an opera singer, and a life drawing class, this mute and active gathering will demonstrate and celebrate the collective power of silence and the capacity of an unvoiced poem to serve the communal purposes of public life. Participants include poets Charles Bernstein, Stephanie Gray, Tim Liu, Monica De la Torre, and Rachel Zolf, dancer-choreographer Christine Elmo, The Village Zendo, and soprano Juliana Snapper. Eileen Myles is a poet who writes fiction (Chelsea Girls), an art writer and journalist whose essays and reviews have appeared in Art Forum, Book Forum, The Believer and The Nation.

Opening Reception | Videos Set in Banks, by Liz Magic Laser


Laser’s project consists of three performance-based video and photographic works that utilize bank vestibules as the setting. The daily exchange with ATMs serves as the departure point for this series of works including automatic (2007), deposit (2008) and chase (2009). The most recent work is a production of Bertolt Brecht’s play Man Equals Man. Laser worked individually with nine professional actors to perform their assigned roles in branch locations of their respective banks. The play’s cycle extended over the course of a month as she collaborated on a daily basis with actors Annika Boras, Andra Eggleston, Gary Lai, Liz Micek, Justin Sayre, Doug Walter, Michael Wiener, Max Woertendyke and Cat Yezbak. Their videotaped activities attempt to re-articulate a physical and verbal relationship with these bank spaces and their inhabitants.
