Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its doors in the spirit of the administration's motto: one city, rising together. In keeping with that theme, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art installation, titled “Windows on the City: Looking Out at Gracie’s New York.” This tour repeats every Monday.

Lecture | Seamless Natural Communication Between Humans and Machines
Dialog systems such as Alexa and Siri are everywhere in our lives. They can complete tasks such as booking flights, making restaurant reservations and training people for interviews. However, currently deployed dialog systems are rule-based and cannot generalize to different domains, let alone flexible dialog context tracking. This talk will first discuss how to design studies to collect realistic dialogs through a crowdsourcing platform. Then it will introduce a dialog model that utilizes limited data to achieve good performance by leveraging multi-task learning and semantic scaffolds.

It is widely known for satirizing the traditional love story.

Author Reading | Suffrage: Women's Long Battle for the Vote
The suffrage movement was “a 75-year marathon through the very core of American history,” writes Ellen Carol DuBois. The 19th amendment was ratified in 1920, but the heroic efforts to get it passed extend back prior to the Civil War. In Suffrage DuBois explores the early links between abolition and suffrage and the collaboration between Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony with Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass. And she follows through successive generations of leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, who brought the fight into the 20th century—and Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who demanded voting rights for African American women even as white suffragists ignored them. DuBois will discuss the history of suffrage, and the many ways in which the passing of the 19th amendment shaped the century that followed. She will be joined in conversation by CUNY Grad Center dean and professor of Sociology, Julie C. Suk.

Book Discussion | Unrealism: New Figurative Painting
Figuration is one of the oldest art forms, but it continually evolves, along with our changing understanding of human identity. Aria Dean, Sam McKinniss, Ebecho Muslimova A'10, and Tschabalala Self discuss contemporary figurative painting of the last five years in a free, public event. Alison Gingeras moderates. The featured artists often source imagery from the Internet, and draw on aesthetics developed in Internet-first channels. Digital techniques and affordances are incorporated into rendering processes with traditional media: brushstrokes are more precise, lines are sharper, and color is more highly keyed. In these works, expressionism is located more in the composition than in the paint handling. This event launches Rizzoli's Unrealism: New Figurative Painting.

Discussion | A Pioneering Figure in Mail Art
This panel discussion is organized with the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art on the occasion of the exhibition Ulises Carrión: The Big Monster currently held at ISLAA. Ulises Carrión (1941, Mexico–1989, Netherlands) was a pioneering figure in mail art, a movement and a medium that produced a unique international network of creative exchange in the 1970s and 1980s. Throughout his life he developed an important oeuvre that spanned performance, video art, and books. This program invites Felipe Becerra (Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures at Columbia University) Mónica de la Torre (Madelon Leventhal Rand endowed Chair in Literature, English, Brooklyn College), and Zanna Gilbert (senior research specialist, Getty Research Institute) to discuss Carrión’s work and legacy. The panel will be moderated by Aimé Iglesias Lukin (Director and Chief Curator of Visual Arts, Americas Society and Curator of Ulises Carrión: The Big Monster.)

Staged Reading | The African Company Presents Richard III: Based on a True Story
40 years before the Civil War, William Henry Brown, a free black American, organizes a production of Shakespeare's Richard III for a predominantly black audience. But in doing so, Brown challenges the leading producer of New York City, Stephen Price, who has secured the famous English actor Junius Brutus Booth to play Richard III at his Park Theatre. As Brown fights for the right of his company to present Shakespeare, his African Grove Theatre Company fights within their ranks, questioning the appropriation of English drama for African-American actors and the racial implications of such a move. Carlyle Brown's The African Company Presents Richard III carries a timeless message of negotiating racial consciousness in theatre that still resonates for actors and audiences today.
