Tour | Brooklyn All-in-One Tour


Brooklyn is New York City’s largest and most populous borough. Once a separate city from New York, Brooklyn still retains an independent streak and possesses an atmosphere quite unique from the island of Manhattan. And at roughly 70 square miles (180 sq. kilometers) it’s the city’s second largest borough. It’s so large, you could spend your whole trip to New York just here. If you want to get to know the Boogie Down, but you only have a short time to visit, then this is the Brooklyn tour for you.

Talk | Crime and the Broken Window Theory


With Curt Collier. Thirty-two years ago, sociologists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling promoted their “broken-window theory” as a way to explain the behavior of people regarding public disorder and community neglect. The theory was used to defend policing strategies under then Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the “quality of life” ordinances inspired by the theory were used to explain the dramatic decrease in crime in the early 90s in New York City. Recently, the theory has come back into debate with the appointment of Police Commissioner William Bratton, who was the chief advocate of broken-window theory inspired policies under Giuliani. What does the Broken-Window Theory purport and why has it become so controversial? What evidence supports the theory, and what evidence supports other underlying causes of the behavior?

Park Walk | The High Line Tour


The area around the High Line 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 When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Opening Reception | 2 Solo Exhibitions: Bettina Blohm / Ulf Puder


Bettina Blohm has been refining her abstract paintings for nearly thirty years. Her visual language is inspired by the dense color palettes of Matisse, the scale and breadth of the Abstract Expressionists, and the poetic lack of naturalism of Asian landscape paintings. Ulf Puder’s paintings depict haunting environments filled with abandoned architecture and other symbols of human industrialization. With unexpected color choices - pink and yellow patches of roof, blue or purple walls - these works seem both familiar and otherworldly.
