The video for Phony Ppl’s “Before You Get A Boyfriend” opens to these five friends from Crown Heights in a familiar pose: hanging out on the front stoop of a Brooklyn brownstone.

Opening Reception | Cutting the Stone: Group Show
This show began with Hieronymus Bosch’s painting titled "Cutting the Stone, or The Extraction of the Stone of Madness or The Cure of Folly." Against the backdrop of a bucolic summer landscape, the painting depicts a sinister scene in which a 'surgeon' wearing an upside-down funnel on his head extracts an object from the skull of a patient. Instead of the stone, what the doctor removes is the bulb of a waterlily, possibly an allusion to lust. The exhibition develops upon our ongoing conversations with poet and scholar Jackie Wang. The themes of the show have been instigated both by the painting itself and by a text (featured below) written by Wang as a part of these exchanges. This text reflects upon the meaning of Bosch’s painting, among other themes of pain, desire, communication and the landscape of dreams:

Opening Reception | How Much Is the Fish?: An Unlikely Gathering of Brothers
In Gabriele Edlbauer's sculptures, strangely indeterminate animal heads grow out of bodies marked as male. It is unclear if the life-sized figures are humans half-transformed into animals or animals with human properties - they are put into a metonymic tension where it is no longer certain who represents whom or what. By looking at the group of sculptures, it becomes clear that these figures show an unlikely gathering of brothers, connected through a mutual activity: fishing.

An exhibition of works by Sarah Faux, Haley Josephs, RJ Messineo, and Wang Chen. Across painting, video, and collage, Pleasure in Precariousness surveys a slippery and open corporeality, rendering the self/body/subject as variously disembodied, fragmented, agape, multiplied, absent, or implied. A searching quality threads the works, aided by the artists’ respective (and often shared) explorations into eros, play, touch, and interiority, as does a common inclination for painting.

Author Reading | The Plague War: America's War on AIDS in Africa
Emily Bass previews her forthcoming book, The Plague War—the first history of America's war on AIDS in Africa. Since 2003, America’s war on AIDS in Africa has been fought and financed primarily through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, which was launched by George W. Bush in the same State of the Union address in which he declared war on Iraq. PEPFAR has been been reauthorized three times, under both the Obama and Trump Administrations, and has sustained bipartisan support across eight Congresses. It is also the product of one of the most successful anti-capitalist global activist movements in the 21st century. Emily Bass, who has has been covering PEPFAR since its inception, will tell the story of the activism, terrorism, radicalism and patriotism that launched the war against a virus which has been called the most successful American foreign aid since the Marshall Plan. Bass has spent more than twenty years writing about and working on HIV/AIDS in America and East and Southern Africa. Her writing has appeared numerous publications, including Esquire, The Lancet, Ms., n+1, Out, POZ, Slice, and has received notable mention in Best American Essays. The Plague War is forthcoming from PublicAffairs Press in 2020.

Author Reading | New York's Original Penn Station: The Rise and Fall of an American Landmark
After decades of looking for a way to connect passengers directly to Manhattan, the Pennsylvania Railway accomplished what few had imagined: building tunnels underneath the Hudson and East rivers. This book chronicles the story of Penn Station from the laying of the first tracks to its demise in the early 20th century when it was torn down. Through its destruction, the historic preservation movement was born. Using original interviews with experts, archival & documentary research, and historic photos, author Paul Kaplan brings new life to one of America's most beloved buildings. This talk highlights the unlikely story of a building that was once one of the most beautiful stations in the world, "built for the ages" --but lasted only 52 years. Paul will show photos of the original Penn Station as well as of its planners and architects, and will link the preservation movement that emerged to modern day efforts like those of the Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy's aim to save historic synagogues. Since this presentation is being held in a very historic synagogue, following the talk, you will have the opportunity to view the sanctuary, a thriving, engaged and welcoming Modern Orthodox Jewish community in the heart of the East Village, originally St. Marks Lutheran Church, spiritual home of the German congregation that lost 1,000 parishioners in the General Slocum disaster.

Discussion | The Agitated Now: Lowing Down to Reflect and Imagine
The Agitated Now is a chance to explore our presence in these fast-paced contemporary realities. Carol Becker, Dean of Faculty and Professor of the Arts at Columbia University School of the Arts, and Mark Epstein, renowned author and psychotherapist, offer an evening of reflection around the idea of slowing down to reflect and imagine. The Agitated Now is borrowed from Carol Becker’s text of the same title in which she explores the many complexities of time that exist in consciousness, often simultaneously. Mark Epstein will speak on the way in which artist and musician John Cage has inspired him, drawing one’s attention to overlooked aspects of our experience in order to arrive at a place of acceptance, faith and trust in the boundless unknown. The evening will lead to an understanding that awareness is transformational, affording an empowerment, acceptance and surrender that opens space for calm, reflection, rational thought and effective action.
