Book Club | Barn 8: A Plot to Steal a Million Chickens (Zoom)


For June, the group discusses Deb Olin Unferth’s wildly inventive novel, a heist story of a very unusual sort. Two auditors for the U.S. egg industry go rogue and conceive a plot to steal a million chickens in the middle of the night—an entire egg farm’s worth of animals. A series of catastrophes ensues. Funny, whimsical, philosophical, and heartbreaking, Barn 8 ultimately asks: What constitutes meaningful action in a world so in need of change? Unferth comes at this question with striking ingenuity, razor-sharp wit, and ferocious passion.

Author Reading | The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win (Zoom)


It’s true that author Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when, after a string of bad luck, she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she certainly brought something to the table, including a PhD in psychology and an acclaimed and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it. Soon she was down the rabbit hole with Seidel into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold’em. Join Konnikova down the rabbit hole at this virtual book talk with Nate Silver, founder and editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight.

Opera | Met Opera: Gounod's Faust (virtual, streaming for 23 hours)


Goethe's seminal drama Faust, which sees an aging philosopher sell his soul for renewed youth and earthly delights, has inspired many operatic adaptations, but none has proved as popular as Gounod's rich, elegantly Gallic interpretation, which was the very first opera ever performed at the Met in 1883. Offering an ardent tenor role for the title character, meltingly lyrical music for the beautiful and naive Marguerite, and a smooth-talking take on Mephistopheles for bass, it delivers all of the hallmarks of 19th-century French opera. Starring Marina Poplavskaya, Jonas Kaufmann, and Rene Pape, conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Production by Des McAnuff. From December 10, 2011.

Screening | Flowers: Performance Art from Singapore (virtual)


Performed in 2019 in Brooklyn by the artist XUE, with a live accompaniment on electric guitar by John Barrington, Flowers is an improvised score integrated with ASMR-style field recordings of hand-manipulated chrysanthemums. With introduction by the artist. In collaboration with Mika Orotea and John Barrington. VHS documentation: Mika Orotea. (60 minutes). XUE is a surrogate for artist Sher Chew--an eponymous conductor of clandestine realities activated through live performance informed by the art of butoh. XUE uses aesthetic production as an intervention, cultivating an impressionistic style of world-building as a form of critical resistance. XUE's worlds are post-lingual spaces that often involve silent or disarticulate bodies routinely subject to invisible restrictions. By designing rigorous systems that provoke exhaustion, XUE is committed to un-scripting the socialized body, allowing radical physical vocabularies to emerge through the body as it cedes to a state of surrender.
