Talk | Richard S. Grossman discusses his book Wrong: Nine Economic Policy Disasters and What We Can Learn From Them
In recent years, the world has been rocked by major economic crises, most notably the devastating collapse of Lehman Brothers. It was the largest bankruptcy in American history, and it triggered the breathtakingly destructive sub-prime disaster. What sparks vast economic calamities? Why do our economic policy makers fail to protect us from such upheavals?
Economist Richard S. Grossman addresses these questions, shining a light on the poor thinking behind nine of the worst economic policy mistakes of the past 200 years. Grossman tells the story behind each misconceived economic move, explaining why the policy was adopted, how it was implemented, and its short and long-term consequences.
Talk will be followed by Q&A and book signing. Feel free to bring your lunch.

Screening | Queering the Archive: David Wojnarowicz and Robert Blanchon
Working against interpretation, Queering the Archive presents an excerpt of David Wojnarowicz’s Fire in My Belly (1987) and Robert Blanchon’s let’s just kiss + say goodbye (1995) to explore questions of legitimacy and authenticity of the queer artist’s voice after death. Brent Phillips, Media Specialist and Processing Archivist of NYU's Fales Library, focuses on the presence of fragments in the archive to consider the ways in which incomplete projects are presented as fully realized works of art. In addition to screening Wojnarowicz’s film and Blanchon’s video, Phillips presents the scripts and written shot list to illuminate interpretations that have adhered to the works.

Concert | Gretchen’s Muse performs Prussian Quartets
Gretchen’s Muse, joined by internationally renowned cellist Beiliang Zhu performs selections from string quartets of Mozart and Haydn written for King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, himself an accomplished cellist. Both composers wrote a set of "Prussian" quartets--Mozart's featuring highly virtuosic and prominent cello parts; Haydn's with interesting and vital roles for all, though the cello parts are somewhat less soloistic. These quartets reflect a shift in quartet writing from its first-violin-centered beginnings towards a more egalitarian approach to the voices; a nod back to Baroque textures such as trio sonata and fugue.
Performers: Abigail Karr, violin; Vita Wallace, violin; Kyle Miller, viola; Beiliang Zhu, cello.

Talk | Artist Talk: Dan Graham
Graham grew up in New Jersey. In 1964 he began directing the John Daniels Gallery in New York, where he put on Sol LeWitt's first one-man show, and in groups shows, exhibited works of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and Robert Smithson. Like these artists, Graham considered himself a writer-artist, publishing essays and reviews on rock music, Dwight D. Eisenhower's paintings, and Dean Martin's television show. His earliest work dealt with the magazine page, predating but often associated with Conceptual art. His work often focuses on cultural phenomena, and incorporates photography, video, performance art, glass and mirror structures. He lives and works in New York.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Sandow Birk's American Qur’an
Rendered in her signature palate of black, white and grey, Attie’s image compositions explore social relationships and gender identity. The mask of the Lone Ranger has for years defined the generational icon of a hero – Attie explores the ability of the mask to activate other faces and other situations, from photographs of politicians to S&M film stills. Through her choice of imagery Attie duplicates an objectification that emphasizes the involvement of the viewer and plays with expectation and voyeurism.

Opening Reception | Photos: Levi Mandel’s Untitled (Adventures)
Levi Mandel is a photographer who was born in Seattle in 1985. He originally released work under the pseudonym Atticus Jackson. His visual gifts seem to have set on quite early; at the age of four he recalls noticing the beauty of a hanging crystal while sitting in the backseat of a car. By the age of nine he had already decided that as an adult he would live in New York City. His knack for getting into trouble started early too around that time; in 1997 Levi got suspended from middle school for doing graffiti, and it would be that combination of a gifted eye for composition and inclination towards mischief that would come found the basis for his photography.

Lecture | Healing the Rich: Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga's Medical Indispositions
A lecture by Valeria Finucci, Duke University.
A prince's body allows us to enter into the culture, fears, and preoccupations of his time, for history attaches itself to everything, and an individual life, particularly one well documented in archives, can discreetly flesh out the world it inhabits. Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga of Mantua (1562-1612) lends himself to such an examination because he lived precisely in the decades now often referred to as at the origin of modernity, when scientific and medical inroads revolutionized the ways in which human beings related to the surrounding world.

Performance | Performance Art: Einat Amir's Our Best Intentions
Our Best Intentions invites audience members to take part in an intimate participatory performance combining elements from psychotherapy, theater and art. As individuals walk into a space divided into four domestic areas — a family lounge, a bedroom, a study, and a dining room – each participant selects a vest featuring an array of labels, such as "mother," "doubt," "addiction," "lover," and so forth. Under the direction of four moderators, the performance becomes a collaborative session wherein participants are encouraged to use personal stories and memories to confront unresolved issues, form momentary and intimate connections with strangers, and reveal themselves in unexpected ways.
Our Best Intentions is an unpredictable series of interactions between moderators and audience members that seeks to contrast the individual/internal experience of therapy with the more dramatic devices of performance. As the action moves through the demarcated space, the audience is both active and passive, taking turns to watch other groups and participate within their own area, adding to the climatic, often emotional rollercoaster ride of different scenes that unfold in the space. Each interactive, closed session performance is 1 hour.

Video | Video: Chad Stayrook's Landship
In LANDSHIP, Chad Stayrook casts himself as an alien visitor who has traveled to rural Connecticut from afar in a pyramid-shaped space vessel. Wearing a protective space suit and carrying a few key items, he uses sound as a way of exploring the landscape. He comes upon built environments (constructed by the artist)--including sails billowing from tall trees, a row of fire beacons in a field, and a colorful but mysterious device attached to a fence post--and activates each one with tonal and rhythmic sounds. The sounds accumulate to create an ambient song which eventually teleports the traveler back to his ship. As a whole, the LANDSHIP can be seen as an instrument the explorer must "tune" before moving on to other worlds.

Jazz | The Jacob Garchik Trio
"The thrilling moments of the set were the trickiest, in a more-or-less jazz sense, when the phrasing swung and stopped short and the horns separated into overlapping questions and answers, as in Mr. Garchik’s “Optimism”; or the loudest, when continuous lines overlapped." - The New York Times

Performance | Performance Art: Bloopers #0
The debut of a new performance-based collaboration by Michael Bell-Smith, Sara Magenheimer, and Ben Vida. As the band Bloopers, they use dance-pop music as a platform to explore the ways in which sound and music operate socially. Their work incorporates videos, props, set pieces, and promotional materials, playfully testing the boundaries of different areas of contemporary culture. Invoking Nam June Paik’s "Global Groove" and Robert Ashley’s "Perfect Lives" through the lens of Internet radio, Bloopers #0 is a multilayered dance party with distractions.
