Discussion | Swamp Summit: Dirt and Water


Swamp Summit: Dirt and Water is a program that examines the relationship between natural and built environments at the boundary where water meets land. Using the unstable grounds of the swamp as a conceptual underpinning, this two-day summit gathers artists, architects, writers, curators, researchers, anthropologists, ecologists, poets, and other practitioners to discuss the material politics of water from different geographies—from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mekong River. The public program includes a reading by Mayan poet and water rights activist Pedro Uc Be; a keynote talk by linguist Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil; a conversation between Uc Be and Aguilar Gil, moderated by artist Abraham Cruzvillegas; a reading from Season of the Swamp (Gray Wolf Press, 2024), set in the fictionalized murky soil of 1850s New Orleans, by novelist Yuri Herrera; artists Jingru (Cyan) Cheng and Chen Zhan speak with artist Sky Hopinka about sensory and visual ethnographies; and artist collective Cooking Sections conclude the day with a lecture-performance on wetlands.

Opening Reception | Carolina Jiménez: All That We Carry


"Reflecting a careful calibration between color and form, Jiménez’s woven paintings are constructed from sections of woven and unwoven yarn colored in jewel-toned hues using natural and synthetic dyes. The precise geometry of these texturally nuanced grids and vaguely topographic abstractions is informed by Jiménez’s background in architecture and study of the weaving techniques of Mexico, her parent’s country of origin. Many of the forms she employs derive from traditional clothing designs, including the tunic-like Huipil and Cinta, a kind of woven belt. For Jiménez, these clothing typologies are both markers of localized knowledge and reflections of ancestral lineage, with many of the specific styles of weaving and decoration passed down through matrilineal lines. Expanding on this context, the artist conceives of her textiles as intimate records of memory and begins each work by locating a particular reference in her past. In the monumental work, Alone (with you) at the Pond, Jiménez responds to her recollections of the pond on the property of the Albers Foundation in Connecticut. Other works in the exhibition are inspired by her synesthetic explorations of remembered scents and feelings, especially as they arise around people of special importance to her." -- Kiko Aebi

Opening Reception | transfiguration, - mutation, - formation: A 3-Artist Exhibition


A three person show with works by Goutam Ghosh, Savia Majahan and Aditi Singh. Though these artists’ practices differ in medium, aesthetic character and philosophical grounding, their works speak to the power of process, the mutability of form and the possibility of unison with energies far more encompassing than their individual selves. All three artists are currently based in India, and while Aditi Singh (b. 1976, Gauhati) exhibited with the gallery in 2016 and 2018, Goutam Ghosh’s (b. 1979, Nabadwip) work was first seen in New York at the New Museum’s 2021 Triennial. This is the inaugural US appearance of Savia Mahajan (b. 1980, Mumbai), whose work was included in Phaidon’s 2024 Great Women Sculptors.

Book Discussion | As for Protocols: Determining What We Do


Explicitly—or not—protocols determine much of what we do. Far exceeding traditional notions of “good manners,” protocols are systems of language that regulate how we relate to each other, to our cultural, social, and political environments, and to the technologies that create them. The first publication to look at protocols across a wide range of disciplines, As for Protocols features essays, artworks, conversations, and scores by twenty-four international contributors who speak to protocols as practice—neither conventional mannerisms nor abstract concepts, but material processes, relational affinities, shared responsibilities, and mutual care. What emerges from the book’s pages are tools for empowerment, ways in which protocols can be rebooted, reengineered, embodied, appropriated, and used to our own ends. The launch brings together the book’s editors—Re’al Christian, Carin Kuoni, and Eriola Pira—with contributors: artist Salome Asega, scholar Shannon Mattern, performer Silas Riener, and artist Robert Sember of the sound art collective Ultra-red. Using the book as a generative prompt, performances, readings, a somatic activation, and dialogues with the contributors reflect on protocols through their technological, political, and social dimensions.

Dance Performance | Memories of Egypt: New Choreography


Jody Sperling and her Time Lapse Dance ensemble are performing. The program Memories of Egypt features a world premiere in Fuller style, repertory favorites, and a souvenir from the journey abroad. The company's seven luminous dancers are joined by Emmy Award-winning composer Matthew Burtner for a transporting evening of live music and dance. The evening's highlight is the world premiere of Fractal Memories, created for and featured in the Loie Fuller documentary film Obsessed with Light (Directed by Sabine Krayehbuhl and Zeva Oelbaum). The dance, choreographed by Jody Sperling, is a contemporary homage to Fuller that illuminates the entanglement of bodies through time. The culminating moment is a reimagining of Fuller's famous Fire Dance, in which she appeared to self-immolate. Conceived at the dawn of the fossil fuel era, Fuller's Fire Dance, as strikingly recontextualized by Sperling, is eerily resonant in these combustible times.

Book Discussion | The "Rape" of Japan: The Myth of Mass Sexual Violence during the Allied Occupation (online)


Historian Brian Walsh will speak on his latest book. Most Americans regard the postwar Occupation of Japan as a prime example of American magnanimity. They are blithely unaware of the prevailing Japanese myth that upon entering Japan, U.S. servicemen “engaged in an orgy of looting, sexual violence, and drunken brawling” and that during the first ten days of the Occupation there were 1,336 reported cases of rape in Kanagawa Prefecture alone. The myth goes further with claims that U.S. military officers demanded the Japanese government set up brothels for use by American troops and that when embarrassed officials in Washington, D.C., forced Occupation officials to close the brothels, the servicemembers went on a rampage, resulting in (according to official records) reported rapes of Japanese women skyrocketing from an average of 40 to 330 cases a day.   The truth is that none of this happened. Nevertheless, large numbers of Japanese still believe these allegations. As the passions of war have faded, the currency of such stories has only grown, and they are now regarded by many as fact. This false narrative of mass sexual violence and the organized exploitation of Japanese women by American military forces is also widely accepted among historians of World War II and its aftermath.
