Opening Reception | Paintings: Karl Hagedorn's Symbolic Abstraction
Hagedorn's life and experiences were impacted by history and geography. Born in what had been the Weimar Republic, Hagedorn lived through Nazism, Communist rule in East Germany, relocation to the West German Republic-and then to the United States. Hagedorn's imagery was influenced by his childhood memories of the mechanical shapes and parts of his father's sawmill, what he called "a kaleidoscope of geometric planes". Durer, Pierro della Francesa, Leger, Miro, the Cubist and the Surrealists were artists he pointed to as impacting his vision.

Audiences may arrive at any time, depart at any time, and return at any time. This perform begins at 5pm and runs until 6am the following morning.

Opening Reception | Sculpture: Gil Yefman's To Me You Are Beautiful (Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn)
Most known for his ambiguous knitted sculptures and animated films, Yefman aims to give a voice to the unheard and bring their stories to the center of attention. By creating characters with elusive gender and sexual identities, and fantastic realms in which they can exist, Yefman challenges society's traditional definitions of gender and how we portray the people who fall outside of them. In his short but prodigious career, Yefman has created a new language for himself out of the human form and wielded it to examine the connections between violence, sexuality, and "otherness."

Performance | The Andrea Dworkin Theater Project
A new one-woman theater piece based on an unpublished work by Andrea Dworkin, author of Woman Hating, Pornography, Intercourse, and other powerful feminist classics. The text by Dworkin contains all the hallmarks of her searing prose: fierce and irreverent, bold and tender, mordantly witty and emotionally raw.
Please note that because of the intimate nature of this reading, latecomers cannot be seated. Contains strong language and graphic sexual situations.

Tour | Manhattan Night Tour
New York is a skyscraper city and there is no better time to view Manhattan’s icons than after the sun sets and the lights go on. Fueled by competition and a dash of audacity, New York City is still producing one of mankind’s most remarkable skyline.
NOTE: THIS TOUR SPENDS MUCH TIME INDOORS OR IN SUBWAYS AND GREAT FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Concert | Persian and Balkan Breakout
This continent-hopping double bill brings together two genre-busting bands that update rich folk traditions with their own contemporary sensibilities. Persian-American roots rock outfit Vatan puts a country twist on Middle Eastern folk music, pickin’ and grinnin’ on a Persian stringed tar. Then, the Eva Salina Band performs the wailing, brass-heavy ballads of Eastern Europe, featuring soaring, soul-shaking vocals by Balkan music guru Eva Primack.
