City Walk | Greenwich Village Tour


Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighborhoods. It's history, however, betrays it's monied status. The Village, with it's quiet, shaded streets, lined with lovely brick and brownstone townhouses, was once the incubating ground of artistic, social and political movements that have helped shape US history. From the Beats to the Folk Movement, from workers rights to gay rights, the Village has often been the center of it all.

Tour | The High Line Sunset Tour


The area around the HighLine Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

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.

Author Reading | Yoram Hazony reads from his book The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture


Yoram Hazony, an Israeli philosopher, Orthodox Jew, and Provost and Founder of the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, argues that the Bible can be studied for its philosophical insights, whether or not one believes in God and shows how the authors of the Bible used narrative and prophetic poetry to advance universal arguments about questions of ethics and politics, truth and reason, faith and being. He transforms our understanding of what the stories of Abel, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David and Solomon, and the speeches of Isaiah and Jeremiah, were meant to teach us.

Performance | Comedy: Alejandro Kolleeny Presents: “Glenn Beck Presents: ‘The Christmas Sweater’”


Comedian and Horrible-Things Enthusiast Alejandro Kolleeny performs his retelling of Glenn Beck’s novel The Christmas Sweater. Glenn Beck, notable political pundit and lunatic, stuffed his novel with Christmas tropes and clichés and glued it all together with the mad fabric of his imagination, creating a frightening and weird Christmas extravaganza with a morbid bent and a series of increasingly sadistic reveals. Alejandro Kolleeny leads the audience through the book with both genuine investment in the story and a tongue-in-cheek awareness of its absurdity and strangeness.

Beautiful. Willful. Charming. Blunt. Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion’s best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the acclaimed 2009 documentary that turned publicity-averse Grace into a sudden, reluctant celebrity. Grace’s palpable engagement with her work brought a rare insight into the passion that produces many of the magazine’s most memorable shoots.

Screening | Documentary: Ken Burns, David McMahon & Sarah Burns' The Central Park Five (2012): Wrongly Accused of a Notorious Crime


In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of brutally beating and raping a white woman in Central Park. New York Mayor Ed Koch called it the "crime of the century" and it remains to date one of the biggest media stories of our time. The five each spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a shocking confession from a serial rapist and DNA evidence proved their innocence. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, The Central Park Five tells the story of how five lives were upended by the rush to judgment by police, a sensationalist media and a devastating miscarriage of justice. 119 min.
