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.

Opening Reception | Passages: Black Identity and Space
A meditation on the lasting impression of transitions, the artist’s new paintings trace the passage of time, of bodies through space, and of ideas through text. Through figuration and abstraction, Tajh Rust explores the relationship between black identity and space. He collaborates with his subjects to determine how they are represented and employs film and literary references to draw connections among portraiture, language, and modes of representation. Central to Rust’s practice is his mastery of color, with which he creates vivid environments echoing the subjects’ skin tones. Individuals are at once obscured and placed center-stage, challenging the historical invisibility of black bodies. Referencing the perspectival distortions more typically employed in film and photography, Rust’s paintings command the gaze of the viewer toward the intimacy of each scene.

Book Signing | The Dinner Party: Book Signing and Artist Talk
The Dinner Party is an investigation into the mysterious narratives of Julie Curtiss’ paintings. Surreal and bizarre, Curtiss creates works that raise questions without an answer. Her images were used as a prompt for Darren Bader, Lauren Groff, Austin Lee, Carmen Maria Machado, Nick Mulgrew, and Legion Seven. The authors were invited to join the ‘party’ and react to an existing painting, or write a text that the artist reinterpreted in the form of a new painting. The result is a multi-course feast that reflects on some of Julie’s favorite themes: food, nature, the human body and how to transform the quotidian into the unexpected.

Author Reading | Bertolt Brecht Out Loud
Some of today’s most captivating writers, musicians, and actors perform Brecht’s funny, heartbreaking, personal, and political verse. Featuring: Shane McCrae, Jessica Hagedorn, Lisa Kron, Paul Muldoon (with the band Rogue Oliphant), Austin Pendleton, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Alexandria Wailes. Though he is widely regarded as the greatest German playwright of the twentieth century, among English readers it is less known that all the while Bertolt Brecht was doing double duty as a poet. Touching on subjects from chess to war to sex, he composed more than 2,000 poems, though fewer than half were published in his lifetime. Now award-winning translators David Constantine and Tom Kuhn have made 1,200 of Brecht’s poems available to English readers in The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht, the most comprehensive collection of his poetry to date. To celebrate this monumental achievement, artists from across disciplines will gather at the Library to read aloud and perform poems that illustrate his ever-lasting lust for life.

Book Discussion | Revisiting French Classics: Emmanuel Bove’s My Friends
My Friends is Emmanuel Bove’s first and most famous book. Its narrator, Victor Baton, is a classic little man, of no talent or distinction or importance and with no illusions that he has any of those things. All Victor wants is to be loved, all he wants is a friend, and as he strays through the streets of Paris in search of love or friendship or some fleeting connection, we laugh both at Victor’s meekness and at his odd pride, but we feel with him, too. With Victor, Bove has created a kind of everyman, an archetypal, indomitable knight of human fragility who invests the back streets of the city and the unsorted moments of daily life with a weird and unforgettable clarity. Donald Breckenridge, Eugene Lim, Jonathon Sturgeon, and John Yau discuss Emmanuel Bove’s masterpiece.

Author Reading | Pride: Photographs After Stonewall
Fifty years ago this coming June, the Stonewall uprising occurred in Greenwich Village—an event that marked the coming- out of New York’s gay community and a refusal by gays to accept underground status that was as important in its way as the Montgomery bus boycott was to the civil rights movement. As a direct outcome of Stonewall, gay pride marches were held in 1970 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. The ultimate chronicler of New York’s downtown scene in that period, and therefore of a signal moment in gay culture, was the late Fred W. McDarrah, the first staff photographer and first picture editor of the legendary Village Voice. Twenty-five years ago, to mark Stonewall’s 25th anniversary, McDarrah brought out a work that became a classic: Gay Pride: Photographs from Stonewall to Today. That book has long been out of print. Now, scanning from original negatives, OR Books has lovingly re-set and re-designed the book, newly entitled Pride. This edition also includes twenty-six photographs not in the original and available nowhere else.

Author Reading | Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious
As opposed to most Latin American countries, where psychoanalysis is seen as a practice tied to the promotion of social justice, in the United States psychoanalysis has been viewed as reserved for the well-to-do, assuming that poor people lack the "sophistication" that psychoanalysis requires, thus heeding invisible but no less rigid class boundaries. Challenging such discrimination, the authors testify to the efficacy of psychoanalysis in the barrios, upending the unfounded widespread belief that poor people are so consumed with the pressures of everyday survival that they only benefit from symptom-focused interventions. Sharing vivid vignettes of psychoanalytic treatments, this collection sheds light on the psychological complexities of life in the barrio that is often marked by poverty, migration, marginalization, and barriers of language, class, and race. With: Patricia Gherovici and Christopher Christian.
