Discussion | Curators: The Younger Than Jesus Effect
With: Alaina Claire Feldman, Rujeko Hockle, David Everitt Howe, Jenny Jaskey, Piper Marshall and Chris Wiley; moderated by Jovana Stokic.
The global youth obsession is manifest throughout contemporary society, including the complex relations of novelty, celebrity, capital and youth in the art world and the curating of exhibitions. The New Museum's 2009 exhibition Younger Than Jesus was a prominent and influential example that further institutionalized what might be called the Younger Than Jesus Effect. This show turned the parameters of curating by age limit into a lively debate about talent and how it is recognized, nurtured, represented and distributed.

Author Reading | Ian Buruma reads from his book Theater of Cruelty: Art, Film, and the Shadows of War
Buruma turns to World War II to explore the Nazi occupation of Paris, the Allied bombing of German cities, the international controversies over Anne Frank's diaries, Japan's militarist intellectuals and its kamikaze pilots. One way that people respond to power and cruelty, Buruma argues, is through art, and the art that most interests him reveals the dark impulses beneath the veneer of civilized behavior.

Talk | When the Mafia Ran Gay Nightlife in NYC
Before the Stonewall Rebellion in June 1969, the Mafia largely controlled the bars, liquor licenses, and clientele in NYC's gay and lesbian bars and clubs. The Mob had been openly doing this for decades, profiting on the people they could most easily control to maintain a tight grasp on gay nightlife in the city.
Alex Hortis highlights this long-running exploitation in his new book "The Mob and The City: The Hidden History of How the Mafia Captured New York," which includes a discussion of "When the Mafia Ran Gay Nightlife." His presentation for the Second Tuesday Lecture Series will include a slide show of bars and queers, and video clips from pre-Hayes code Hollywood movies showing drag queens and gangsters in The Village.
