Symposium | #CubAngola40: Rethinking the 1975 African-Cuban War


Forty years ago, the Cuban government launched Operation Carlota, a large-scale military intervention in Angola while this African country was on the eve of its independence from Portugal. The Cuban military victory over the forces supported by the United States and South Africa represented an explosive chapter of the Cold War and of the African decolonization. The consequences were immediate and long-lasting, since the resulting defeat of South African troops contributed to the end of the white-supremacist regime of Apartheid. In that context, the intervention of a small Latin American country into the two main geopolitical struggles of the time was not only unique, it represented an audacious South-to-South cooperation.

Tour | Chelsea and the High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to city markets.

When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park. This tour takes place Monday and Fridays at 6pm.

Opening Reception | Rachel Whiteread's Looking In: Scultpures and Works on Paper


An exhibition of new sculpture and works on paper by Rachel Whiteread. This marks the artist’s tenth exhibition since the gallery began representing her in 1991. Whiteread’s artistic practice is defined by her ongoing investigation of domestic architecture and the traces of humanity impressed upon such spaces. Using materials such as plaster, resin, rubber and concrete, she casts architectural elements and household items to yield sculptures that are uncanny ghosts of their objects of origin. By rendering the invisible wholly visible – the space beneath a chair, the darkness under a bed, the air inside a room – Whiteread compels us to see the world anew and look to the prosaic as a site for memory and history.
