Conference | How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 21st Century
Erik Olin Wright spent the last years of his life thinking about ways to challenge and transform capitalist societies. He distilled his thinking in a book, How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 21st Century (Verso, 2019). The symposium is designed to launch a debate about the strengths and weaknesses of Wright’s approach. They seek to both honor their colleague’s memory and assure that his ideas become part of current discussions of socialism and socialist strategy. The event will consist of three panels during the day and an evening session that will include tributes to Wright and a keynote by his friend, Ira Katznelson.

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 | Artist Talk: Ramifications
A one-man show of sculpture, painting, and mixed media. Street artist and New York City native Coraggio is best known for his abstract metal sculpture. An ardent proponent of recycling, he uses materials that can be found in vacant lots or building sites across Lower Manhattan and the city’s outer boroughs. This use of found materials is an essential component of his process. Coraggio’s richly graphic, welded street constructions provided a 3-D counterpoint to the 2-D graffiti street art by contemporaries Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as the masters of New York subway graffiti. Coraggio was a central figure in downtown New York’s early period of explosive art experimentation and cross-pollination of cultural ideas.

Opening Reception | Elemental: Minimalist and Post-Minimalist Painting and Sculpture
An exhibition comprised of minimalist and post-minimalist painting and sculpture that lays bare the foundational components of these consecutive 20th-century movements. Spanning 1963–1981, each work in the exhibition demonstrates a conceptually robust reduction of both form and content, drawing renewed attention to the nuances of the artistic process, the visceral potential of materials, and the organizational structure of a composition. By way of geometric abstraction, singular motifs, monochromatic palettes and the embracing of repetition, this seminal group of artists eschewed the gestural individualism of mid-century Abstract Expressionism and paved the way for a new understanding of art-making. Featured in the exhibition are significant works by Carl Andre (b. 1935), Daniel Buren (b. 1938), Simon Hantaï (1922-2008), François Morellet (1926-2016), Olivier Mosset (b. 1944), Richard Nonas (b. 1936), Carol Rama (1918-2015), Robert Ryman (1930-2019), and Bernar Venet (b. 1941.)

Although 1st and 2nd generation Asian Americans outpace their peers in education level, they fall short in professional attainment, raising troubling questions about the ways in which immigrants’ backgrounds plays into future success. This discussion will explore this complex issue, asking how to make opportunities more accessible for immigrant communities who lack the resources vital for upward workplace mobility.

Discussion | Campus at a Crossroads: Free Speech, Truth, and Democracy in an Election Year
With the 2020 election season picking up steam, debates over free speech, truth, and the university are of increasing relevance to the health of American democracy. But in an era of deepening polarization, many see these issues through partisan eyes, shouting into fractured echo chambers. Campuses seem to be at a cross-roads--can they restore a common understanding of facts, and of the rules of engagement and disagreement? Or are they in danger of buckling under the weight of our current culture war? This panel aims to bring together academics, writers, and students for a spirited discussion of these issues. The panel will also serve to launch PEN America's new Campus Free Speech Guide, an online resource offering a range of tips on contemporary challenges related to free speech on campus. Through the event, we aim to situate the guide in a larger discussion about universities' responsibility in pursuing and defending truth in a political climate in which the very concept of truth is under attack, and the ways in which issues surrounding free expression, academic freedom, and diversity and inclusion intersect with that responsibility.

Talk | Transcending Disciplines: An Artist’s Journey to Cultural Sustainability
In this lecture, Cristina Pato shares her artistic journey, forging a multifaceted career as an internationally acclaimed Galician bagpiper master, classical pianist, producer and educator. Without a precedent to follow, and in a world where “nobody needs a bagpiper,” Dr. Pato charted her own path to become an independent artist and became passionate about exploring the role of the arts in other contexts, especially education. Pato will share how she has made herself relevant to other disciplines and, in doing so, built a sustainable career. Cristina will also underscore how her multiple identities – teacher, performer, writer, producer– are a platform to probe social questions raised by the intersection of classical and folkloric music. Pato will be performing live with accordionist Julien Labro, of the Cristina Pato Quartet.

Author Reading | Apple, Tree: Writers on Their Parents
It happens to us all: we think we've settled into an identity, a self, and then out of nowhere and with great force, the traces of our parents appear to us, in us--in mirrors, in gestures, in reaction and reactivity, at weddings and funerals, and in troubled thoughts that crouch in dark corners of our minds. In this masterful collection of new essays, the apple looks at the tree. Twenty-five writers deftly explore a trait they've inherited from a parent, reflecting on how it affects the lives they lead today--how it shifts their relationship to that parent (sometimes posthumously) and to their sense of self. Editor Lise Funderburg will be joined by contributors Daniel Mendelsohn, Lauren Grodstein, and Marc Mewshaw.

The exhibition is conceived of as a cross-disciplinary forum, evolving around and structured by the work of German artist Jenny Brockmann.

Entanglement #2 invites a discussion on culturally specific epistemologies and whether -- and how -- one might approach reconciliation of these differences. The speakers are artists Stephanie Dinkins and Jes Fan, economist Sheen Levine, anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli, and sociologist Dina Shvetsov.

Play | To Life: Meet the Rosens
The Rosen family, battered and blessed, celebrates Jeffrey’s life as their hearts lie gasping on the floor. Backs are turned and accusations hurled as the Rosens come together and fall apart, bound by heartbreak and humor. Nobody escapes a good kick in the tuchas as they expose their foibles, confront their fears, and cling to their fragile connection amidst the chaos.
