Tour | Midtown Manhattan Tour


Arguably the world's most valuable, busiest and most crowded pieces of real estate, Midtown Manhattan is what most visitors think of when they think of New York City. Home to some of the city's most iconic architecture, from Gothic to Post-Modern and from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco (lots of Art Deco). it's not difficult to understand why. But just behind the massive facades, lie facinating histories just waiting to be unveiled.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Stephanie Buer's Unknown Ways


Stephanie Buer, now based in Portland, Oregon, had spent over a decade observing the urban landscapes in Detroit, Michigan. She has an intimate appreciation of urban desolation and a love for the once prosperous buildings that have been abandoned to time and the elements. Her works in both oil and charcoal capture with photo-like detail the layers of gritty history that accumulate as these places succumb to the manipulation of vandals, artists, and the steady persistence of nature. In the juxtaposition between decay and growth, Stephanie finds a place that echoes the peace she finds in nature, with its endless cycles of change.

Opening Reception | Sculpture: Eric Fertman's Tropical Burnout


Eric Fertman continues to produce witty and edgy sculpture with big attitude. His wry approach is a means of tackling topical issues through disjuncture. In doing so Fertman suggests the remove we often experience as bystanders to global cataclysms. Modern reality is constructed largely through images and in-turn our confrontation with social and biological strife is constantly mediated. Akin to Rousseau’s encounter with the jungle, it is this artistic license that accounts for Fertman’s immolated and eviscerated forms that merge the vegetal and the zoological into disquieting abstract compositions.

Discussion | James Baldwin: Seeing Place from a Distance


About leaving his native country, James Baldwin argues, “One sees it better from a distance…from another place, from another country.” Can displacement (voluntary or otherwise) bring a writer to write more clearly about her “home” or herself? Is the tension between Baldwin and the places about which he writes, the complications between himself and those places, a necessary component to his success? Panelists will discuss the ways in which Baldwin’s view of place informed his work. With Dante Micheaux, Darryl Pinckney and Tiphanie Yanique. Moderated by Tracyann Williams.
