Discussion | Missing Link: What Absenteeism and Risk Load Reveal About NYC's Lowest-Income Schools
Mayor Bill de Blasio will unveil 45 new community schools this month in a much-touted effort to help low-income students. But which schools need the most help? And what kind of supports will have the greatest impact? A new report by the Center for New York City Affairs explores these questions in elementary schools, documenting how high absenteeism rates and community challenges can bedevil schools in low-income neighborhoods. They propose a new measure of poverty, designed to identify the highest needs schools, and discuss what should come next in the mayor's bid to reduce poverty's effects on students.
Introductory remarks by: Richard Buery, deputy mayor for strategic policy initiatives, City of New York
In discussion with:
- Rudy Crew, president, Medgar Evers College, City University of New York
- Kevin Dahill-Fuchel, executive director, Counseling in Schools
- Patricia Mitchell, principal, PS 48, William Wordsworth

Opening Reception | Conceptual Art: Christopher Williams' For Example: Dix-Huit Leçons Sur La Société Industrielle (Revision 19),/I>
In the 1970s, Christopher Williams studied at the California Institute of the Arts under the first wave of West Coast conceptual artists, including John Baldessari and Douglas Huebler, only to become one of his generation's leading conceptualists. Williams's work is a critical investigation of the medium of photography and more broadly the vicissitudes of industrial culture, in particular its structures of representation and classification. Using the process of reproduction as a point of entry, the artist manipulates the conventions of advertising, the superficiality of surface, and ultimately the history of Modernism.

Opening Reception | George Boorujy's Passenger: Ink-on-Paper Depictions of Animals Native to North America
Drawing on the longstanding tradition of artists and naturalists composing highly realistic renderings of life on earth, Boorujy creates works that advance this practice, imbuing his subjects with human-like expression and encouraging a relationship between the work and the viewer.
George Boorujy was born in 1973 and raised in New Providence, New Jersey, and lives and works in Brooklyn. He attended the University of Miami intending to study marine biology. However, his art courses soon over-took his science concentration earning him a B.F.A in painting in 1996. After graduation he traveled North America eventually landing back in New York City where he studied at the School of Visual Arts, receiving his M.F.A in 2002. Boorujy has exhibited in the U.S. and abroad.

Afanador adroitly juxtaposes primal archetypes with breathtaking young dancers from contemporary companies who, sinuous and lissome, enrich the imagery with an exquisitely sensual bravura.

Moun Room invites us to move through space and among complex screens of the artist's carefully layered and pierced materials, rather than to circle an opaque form.

Theater | 1989 [Exit Ghost]: A U.S. Premiere Performed by Theatrale Subversive
This unique event critically commemorates the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, bringing scholars, artists, journalists, and others to discuss how the intervening years have impacted the lives of former East and West Germans and today’s political landscape in Germany and beyond.
The play addresses generational change in East and West Germany and takes its cue from famous rehearsals of the Hamlet Machine by Heiner Müller in 1989. It is performed by a cast of young “third generation” actors from East and West, whose experiences contribute to the play, and who combine contemporary issues and documentary sources into an innovative and provocative piece of contemporary theater.
