Other | Tatzu Nishi: Discovering Columbus: Visit the Famous Statue Up Close and 70 Feet in the Air


This major new artwork has been created by the Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi. The work places the 13-foot-tall statue of Columbus in the center of an American living room six stories above the city streets, recontextualizing the historical monument and temporarily transforming it into a contemporary artwork. The room will feature many of the trappings of a domestic living room—lamps, a couch, a coffee table, a television, and more—as well as custom wallpaper by the artist. Through large, loft-style windows, visitors will have dramatic views of Central Park and Midtown Manhattan that will be seen from Columbus’s perspective for the first time. Pass holders are asked to climb six flights of stairs to a height of 70 feet above street level and to descend by a second set of stairs. Flat, rubber-soled shoes are strongly recommended. This exhibition is ADA accessible. If a visitor requires the use of a mobility device (e.g. wheelchair, crutches, or a cane) or has a condition that prevents him or her from using the stairs, a hoist is available. Visitors under 13 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Those between the ages of 13 and 18 may visit without an adult, however a parent or guardian must obtain a pass for them. Given the physical demands of visiting the exhibition, it is not recommended for children under the age of 5. Strollers are not permitted.

City Walk | Lower East Side Food Tour


Where can you find a historic Synagogue next to a storefront Buddhist Temple, trendy boutiques that sit comfortably beside decades-old "Mom and Pop" shops, or tenament apartments interspersed between luxury high rise condos? Look no further than the Lower East Side to discover America's great Melting Pot. Once an insular slum with the one of the world's highest population densities and lowest life expectancies, its streets tell the tales of immigrant struggles and rags to riches stories. Known for a time as Kleindeutschland (Little Germany), this neighboorhood was also the Jewish ward, home today to a mix of foreign-born Latinos and Asians as well as students and hipsters. The result is one of New York City's most dynamic and interesting neighborhoods and a food lover's paradise.

Talk | The Secrets in the Suitcase: Stories My Mother Never Told Me


Rosalie Greenberg, M.D. writes: "Growing up in America with parents who were both Holocaust survivors has had varying effects on individuals, some very obvious and others more subtle, some potentially disturbing and frightening, and some strengthening and enlightening. Mine was a family in which only the vague outlines of loss were discussed, although the power of the unknown was never to be underestimated. "It wasn’t until my mother took a senior writing class when she was 60, did she finally discover a means to confront the complex emotions and painful past with which she had grappled her entire life without an outlet. Although I had read a few of her stories, it was through pure serendipity that while furiously cleaning her basement in preparation for a renovation project on her home, my sister happened upon a long forgotten case full of our mother’s writings. I was amazed by their quantity and depth. Reading them allowed me to fill in the missing pieces in my life. My mother’s stories of survival and ability to love, despite the horrors and hatred of the past, experienced by her and her generation, is something I’m sharing on this special occasion as I believe it demonstrates the enormous power and triumph of love over hate." Rosalie Greenberg was born in the United States in 1950 to Holocaust survivor parents. Her older sister was born in a Displaced Persons’ camp in Germany. Dr. Greenberg received a B.A. from New York University and an M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Her subsequent residency in General Psychiatry and Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry were also at Columbia. She maintains a private practice specializing in pediatric psychopharmacology in Summit, New Jersey, in addition to lecturing and writing many articles for professionals and the public.

Video | Oscar Muñoz’s 2003 Video Re/trato Projected on the Side of a Building


Colombian artist Oscar Muñoz’s 2003 video Re/trato will be projected on a building to the east visible from the park’s Seating Steps, as well as the sidewalk. One of Colombia’s most influential artists, Oscar Muñoz has created an impressive body of work that investigates memory and history, and the ways both intertwine with our contemporary society. Here, Muñoz presents a video in which you see the artist painting a self-portrait on a concrete sidewalk by using a brush and water. The hand continuously paints as the portrait evaporates, creating an endless drawing. Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of identity, the work highlights the liminal space between remembering and forgetting, between an image and its obliteration.

Opening Reception | Mixed Media Works: Alice Channer's Cold Blood


The first US solo exhibition by British artist, Alice Channer. Alice Channer’s work traces the disappearance and mutation of the body and of materials in post-industrial environments. She pleats, curves, stretches, and expands industrial and post-industrial materials to explore sculptural concerns of volume, dimension, and weight. Cold Blood is a new body of work that uses aluminium, stainless steel, Spandex, bronze, silk, polyurethane resin and Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner as strange, seductive, toxic, industrial and post-industrial liquids that clot, thin, coagulate, cool, melt, heat and solidify within the time and place of an exhibition. The works in the exhibition consider anthropomorphism in objects, and ask why the figurative should imply a human figure. To conceive of the maany different objects that make up the exhibition as cold-blooded, sentient entities is a way to imagine their strangeness, otherness and their independent life.
