Until recently most people assumed that it was not possible to forge rare books, and that any such attempts would be easily detected. Using the Library’s unrivaled collection of forgeries and facsimiles, investigate the surprisingly long and complicated history of techniques and technologies deployed in forging.

Opening Reception | Paintings: James Austin Murray's Super Massive Black Hole


As the light shifts in the gallery, one begins to notice that James Austin Murray's compositions visually shift from concave to convex. It is odd to speak three dimensionally about a two dimensional surface, but Murray is the only artist we have ever shown where the viewer is transfixed by the surface of the painting, following the brushstroke across the canvas, only to approach the piece and look at the piece from its side as their brain is not convinced as to what their eyes see.

Author Reading | Writers Read: Paul Legault / Stacy Szymaszer


Journal of Ugly Sites and Other Journals was selected by Brenda Hillman for the Ottoline Prize and collects notes from Szymaszek’s journals, locally sourced from her life in Brooklyn and the East Village. Of her work, the poet Etel Adnan writes that “each poem is what I am looking for: a resonance with a particular location, an intelligence unafraid of its humanity, a sort of desperate adequacy with the people or objects that Szymaszek encounters.” In Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror 2, Legault attempts to recall each of the poems in John Ashbery’s book, Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, from memory. Douglas Crase (author of The Revisionist) calls it “an audacious homage that is also a course of freedom—brilliant, replenishing, and right on time.”
