Performance | Missing Time: A New Immersive Sound Performance


Artist Serena Korda's Missing Time considers the history and mythology of the High Line as a “thin place”—a portal to other worlds—while exploring its transformation and invisible histories. The piece features the a cappella group Mouthful (Dave Camlin, Sharon Durant, Bex Mather, and Katherine Zeserson), who improvise across specific frequencies derived from the planets otherwise known as the “Music of the Spheres.” Simultaneously, the singers carry very low frequency receivers; these are devices designed by amateur radio astronomers hoping to listen to radio waves coming from the sun or outer planets. Visitors experience the singers’ voices and manipulated radio waves through stereo headphones that play a version of the sounds captured through a microphone located under the pathway and mixed by the artist.

Book Club | David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI: one of the top ten non-fiction books of 2017 (Time magazine)


The book investigates a series of murders of wealthy Osage people that took place in Osage County, Oklahoma in the early 1920s—after big oil deposits were discovered beneath their land. Officially, the count of the murdered full-blood wealthy Osage native Americans reaches at least 20, but Grann suspects that hundreds more may have been killed because of their ties to oil. The book reports cattleman William Hale as the mastermind standing behind the murders and presents detailed evidence. David Grann is a journalist, a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine, and a best-selling author. His first book, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at #4.

Discussion | The Resistance to Trumpism and to Authoritarianism in Europe


Trumpism and resurgent authoritarianism have generated a tidal wave of opposition around the globe. In the U.S., a movement of millions of people in active revolt against Trumpism—known as #TheResistance—has emerged. Its self-development requires that we strengthen its independence from the Democratic Party and from “leftists” who would co-opt or derail it. People must also combat the idea that the left can somehow win over the “base” that supports Trump and other authoritarians and turn white nationalists towards revolutionary socialism. That is a pipe dream of a segment of the “left” that wants power for itself and which acted in ways that helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election. Speakers: The veteran activist of the British Left Ravi Bali and Professor emeritus of economics at Pace University, Andrew Kliman.

Author Reading | The forgotten ghosts of Roosevelt Island: poor, sick, mad, and criminal in 19C New York


In Damnation Island Stacy Horn evokes the forgotten ghosts of Roosevelt Island, a place where prisoners were enlisted to care for the insane. The narrow island in the East River once contained a lunatic asylum, two prisons, an almshouse, and a number of hospitals. Designed to be state-of-the-art, both humane and efficient, Blackwell’s Island quickly became, in the words of Charles Dickens, “a lounging, listless madhouse.” Using city records, newspaper articles, and archival reports Stacy Horn brings the stories of the inhabitants back to life, and highlights the work of the period’s officials, reformers, and journalists. New York Times reporter Ginia Bellafante joins Horn in conversation, followed by a Q&A. Registration does not guarantee admission. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. The Program Room opens at 6 PM.

Performance | brickwork: A Performance on the Process of Re/constitution of Language


Brazilian artist Pedro Zylbersztajn will perform a physical record of the process of re/constitution of language. Unfolding as a 12" disc/book and a performance, it is based on a circular text that regards language use as a permanent building site. The makeshift process of fabricating the record creates, in itself, a series of impediments to a pristine listening of the words. As the needle progresses and radial distances diminish, textural noises take over and sound resolution decreases. Each side of the record provides new breath to the text, that degenerates and regenerates differently for every cycle.

Performance | Anna: An Experimental One-Woman Show


Anna is an experimental, interdisciplinary biographical and autobiographical one-woman collage written, directed, choreographed, and performed by the New York-based Austrian theater-maker Luisa Muhr. Through the world of the abstract Anna explores elements of the lives of Anna Anastasiadou (later Anna Muhr), a Greek who immigrated from Constantinople, Turkey, to Austria and then died in Greece, and Luisa, her great-granddaughter, an Austrian who moved to Canada and finally settled in the United States. It seeks to uncover the intergenerational connection these two related women have by dealing with the themes of ancestry, immigration, language, and identity and combines elements of movement, voice/music, recording, and projection. Muhr describes Anna as "a staged, visual sound exploration in collage form", a piece that functions like the imagery of 'visual' (at times inaudible) music/sound or a painting, all expressed through the form and lens of the theatre. Luisa Muhr is an Austrian multi- and interdisciplinary performer/theater-maker based in New York who works as an actor, vocalist, movement artist, director, writer, and educator.
