Lecture | The Lives of Emily Dickinson: Poetry, Philosophy, Sexuality
Emily Dickinson belongs to that class of artists who continuously challenge interpretation through the magnitude of their vision. Her astoundingly original poetry continues to disturb, delight, intrigue, and challenge us today. In this seminar, Jerome Charyn presents a revisionary picture of the great poet in ways that challenge received opinions: as a woman who was deeply philosophical, intensely engaged with the world, and attracted to members of both sexes. Music figured prominently in Dickinson's poetry. The seminar will address the use of musical imagery in her poems.

Opening Reception | Foundation: Hyperreal Paintings and Sculptures
Connotations of union workers, along with denotations of art, has led Local #1 Ironworker and artist Anthony Adcock to create works that generate experiences similar to that of a job-site, mimicking specific moments of the construction process via Trompe l'oeil painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, and video. The illusionistic quality of his artwork allows viewers to consider the work as found objects or ready-mades, generating questions of authorship and production. His hyperreal paintings and sculptures may be easily overlooked despite the hundreds of hours required to create.

Forum | The University in Exile
We are living at a time when scholars around the world are under attack, just as when the original University in Exile was established in 1933 to save academic victims of Nazism during World War II. In our own day, universities have once again been shuttered or destroyed; many scholars have been purged from their faculty positions; others seek safety from conflicts that have riven their countries. The New University in Exile Consortium (New UIE Consortium), is an initiative created to confront today’s surging threats to scholars around the world. The New UIE Consortium is a group of like-minded colleges and universities, each of which is committed to hosting at least one endangered scholar. The founding member institutions are: Barnard College, Brown University, Columbia University, Connecticut College, Georgetown University, George Mason University, The New School, Rutgers University - Newark, Trinity College, and Wellesley College. This event will feature distinguished speakers—witnesses to the dangers of authoritarian governments and wars around the world—in conversation on the protection of scholars and other refugees. It will also feature comments by some of the endangered scholars themselves who will be hosted at New UIE Consortium institutions. Speakers include: -- Kati Marton, Hungarian-American author and journalist; award-winning former NPR and ABC News correspondent; human rights activist -- David Miliband, President and CEO, International Rescue Committee; former Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom -- Moderator: T. Alexander Aleinikoff, University Professor, Director of the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility -- With remarks from Michael Ignatieff, President and Rector of Central European University; Canadian writer, teacher and former leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Lygia Pape (1927-2004) valued art that favored the primacy of the viewer and his or her sensory experience, and her explorations in sculpture, drawing, engraving, filmmaking, and installation cemented her reputation as one of the most significant Brazilian artists of her generation. This exhibition shares the artist’s singular vision with visitors, mining her profound and often playful approach to the physical and material experience of art, which elucidates a deeply human understanding and unique reframing of geometry and abstraction.

Gallery Talk | : Artist Talk
In anticipation of the occasion of the opening of Tracing Obsolescence, artist Dana Whabira discusses her artistic practice with writer M. Neelika Jayawardane and curator Evelyn Owen. In recent work, Whabira has used discarded dress forms, the last vestiges of Zimbabwe’s declining clothing industry, to explore alienated labor in the nexus of global migration, capitalism, and crises. These abandoned objects point to the rise of automation and the consequent fall of machinery, technology, and people that have become redundant or terminated.

Author Reading | Anything That Burns You: A Portrait of Lola Ridge, Radical Poet
"Magisterial” according to the Washington Post, Anything That Burns You is the biography of Lower East Side's Lola Ridge, a trailblazer for women, poetry, and human rights far ahead of her time.Terese Svoboda takes the reader on a fascinating journey from Ridge's NZ childhood to the 1920s when she was at the center of Modernism, friends with William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore, promoter of the careers of Hart Crane and Jean Toomer, and author of brilliant socially incisive poems. Although the NYTimes cited her as one of the most important U.S. poets, Ridge fell out of critical favor due to her impassioned verse that looked head on at the major social woes of society. Terese Svoboda is the prize-winning author of 18 books of fiction, memoir, poetry and translation.

Lecture | The Carmignano Visitation: Pontormo's Masterpiece in New York
The Carmignano Visitation, a unique masterpiece by one of sixteenth-century Italy’s greatest painters, Jacopo da Pontormo, will be seen for the first time outside of Italy in the exhibition, Pontormo: Miraculous Encounters, at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York (September 7, 2018, to January 6, 2019). Scientific analyses, undertaken in preparation for the recent conservation of the Visitation, offer new insights into the artist’s techniques, illuminating the processes that led to the creation not only of his highly original devotional works, but also of his exceptional innovations in portraiture. This lecture presents some of the research carried out for the exhibition, in an attempt to clarify the relationship between Pontormo’s drawings and paintings, the historical context in which the Visitation was created, and its connection to Florentine visual traditions. Speaker Bruce L. Edelstein is Coordinator for Graduate Programs and Advanced Research at NYU Florence.

Book Discussion | Pretty Things: Stealing Her Twin's Identity
Virginie Despentes's Pretty Things is the newest English-language book by French feminist Virginie Despentes, translated by Emma Ramadan. In this pulpy, psychological tale of two mismatched twins, the "perfect" sister Claudine commits suicide and wallflower Pauline hatches a scheme of her own. She pulls on her dead sister's identity, lives in her apartment, and reads her mail. But as the impersonation continues, Pauline slowly realizes that the cost of femininity is to dazzle on the outside while rotting away on the inside—and that womanhood is ultimately what killed her sister. With: Emma Ramadan is a literary translator. She translates from Providence, Rhode Island, where she is also co-owner of Riffraff bookstore and bar.

Accompanied by Claire, a friend from Paris whom he secretly has a crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but ultimately prove to be funny and endearing. 96 min.
