Conference | Jewish Ghosts: Haunting and the Haunted in Literature and Culture
Throughout literature, art and culture, haunting is tapped to figure a number of topics and seems to recur in works by or referring to Jews.

What do these specters, haunted spaces and ghostly objects symbolize? What do they indicate about Jewish concepts of time and history?

Classical Music | Bach at Noon
The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term 'baroque' has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was 'maestro di capella' at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today's music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi's advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 10, 2019 to May 20, 2020.

Gallery Talk | Memory Palaces: Inside the Collection of Audrey B. Heckler: Exhibition Tour

Lecture | The Determinants of Unequal Access to Health Care in the U.S., and the Consequences
Though average life expectancy has increased from 68 years of age in 1950 to 79 years of age in 2015, inequality in life expectancy remains high in the United States, especially compared to other developed countries. Across age groups, inequality in life expectancy among infants and children has decreased, but inequality in life expectancy among older adults has increased. Moreover, most of the recent gains in life expectancy come from medical advancements that treat conditions that occur in middle age and at the end of life, rather than in early life. This presentation will explore how changes in the U.S. health care system in recent years have affected access to care for different populations, and how differential access to care has contributed to inequality in life expectancy and other health outcomes. Speaker Jessica Van Parys is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Hunter College.

Talk | Artist Talk: At Once Abstract and Representational
Olga Balema’s sculptural objects are at once abstract and representational. In the Berlin- and Amsterdam-based artist’s more figurative work, she creates cast objects that echo familiar forms such as gloves, seemingly abandoned by or in search of a body to wear them. Other works rely on a more abstract notion of the body, such as her clear sacks filled with metal or paint shards suspended in liquid inside and supported by metal rods. Balema’s notion of the body troubles philosophical schisms between concepts of object and subject, while also accounting for feminist or technologically motivated notions of the body.

Author Reading | Freud: An Intellectual Biography
Cutting through the tired cliches of the "Freud Wars," Joel Whitebook presents us with a radically new portrait of the founder of psychoanalysis. Because Whitebook is a philosopher as well as a psychoanalyst, he has been able to integrate many of the profound transformations that have taken place in psychoanalytic theory and practice, infant research, gender studies, philosophy, and critical theory since Ernest Jones and Peter Gay published their canonical studies in the last century.
