Classical Music | Bach at Noon
The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term ‘baroque’ has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was ‘maestro di capella’ at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today’s music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi’s advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 11, 2018 to May 22, 2019.

Gallery Talk | Made in New York City: The Business of Folk Art: Exhibition Tour
Folk art has flourished in the heart of New York City since the eighteenth century, contrary to popular belief that it was a rural genre that reflected local tastes, traditions, and needs. Around 100 works of art by self-taught artists tell the story about New York City as the center of America’s financial and commercial world from two perspectives simultaneously: “The Art of Business” portrays the people and places that were part of the city’s thrumming commercial life, and “The Business of Art” highlights the diverse mediums and formats used by the artists, artisans, and manufacturers. This tour of the exhibition is conducted by museum gallery guides.

Opening Reception | Brancusi's Flowers: Photgraphs by the Sculptor
Brâncuşi’s Flowers offers an unprecedented opportunity to view eight of the sixteen known images on the subject matter, each photographed and printed by the artist in his darkroom in the 1920s and 1930s. These still life photographs depicting “nature’s readymades” served dual purposes for the artist. Firstly, they were created as gifts for friends and lovers as lasting objects of his affection, rather than the gifting flowers destined for decay. Secondly, they were a further extension of Brancusi’s explorations into photography, fixing flora and fauna at the pinnacle of their sculptural beauty.

Author Reading | The World's Fastest Man: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor, America's First Black Sports Hero
A fascinating portrait of a groundbreaking but forgotten figure—the remarkable Major Taylor, the black man who broke racial barriers by becoming the world’s fastest and most famous bicyclist at the height of the Jim Crow era. In the 1890s, the nation’s promise of equality had failed spectacularly. While slavery had ended with the Civil War, the Jim Crow laws still separated blacks from whites, and the excesses of the Gilded Age created an elite upper class. Amidst this world arrived Major Taylor, a young black man who wanted to compete in the nation’s most popular and mostly white man’s sport, cycling. Birdie Munger, a white cyclist who once was the world’s fastest man, declared that he could help turn the young black athlete into a champion. Michael Kranish is one of the country’s preeminent investigative reporters. He has worked at The Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, and The Washington Post.

On the occasion of Shahryar Nashat’s exhibition, a lecture by scholar Zairong Xiang. In his recent work, Xiang creates opportunities for “unlearning” colonial and modern positions to discover new forms of queerness in ancient sources. Xiang writes, “If decolonizing knowledge and decentering critical theories does not mean the inclusion of more colors, but rather a departure from a recognition that these colors, these ‘ten thousand things,’ the assembly of all creatures, human, non-human, inert or living, are already within and have always been there, how do we move beyond (or below) the politics of inclusion and tolerance? How do we start to know the myriad, ten thousand creaturely things?”

Film | Shadows of Shame: Victims of National Socialism
A documentary presenting the gripping stories of three generations of Carinthian Slovenes, Roma and a Jewish family, the film shows how victims of National Socialism are turned into perpetrators and how they are pressured into seeing themselves as being responsible for their own suffering. The inflicted wounds manifest themselves in unique traumas which are often unconsciously passed on to their children and grandchildren. Director: Sabina Zwitter-Grilc The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker, and the New York–based artist Lily Brett, who is the daughter of Holocaust survivors herself. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Ethel Brooks (Rutgers) and introduced by Hannah Lessing, Secretary General of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism.

Play | Big St. Germain: The Fate of a Family
When young father Marshall's sister Kasey drops back into his life after years away, he warily agrees to meet her at the rental property in Wisconsin once owned by their late grandfather. And over a weekend of drinking, dancing, nostalgia, and singing novelty fish, it seems this may just be a legitimate attempt at reunion- and there could be hope they can finally get back to what they had. But Kasey will always ask too much of Marshall, and as the ground beneath their reunion begins to crumble, the fate of their family hangs in the balance. Written by Jack T. Calk. Directed by Lillian Meredith.
