Drawn primarily from the artist's estate, the exhibition also encompasses drawing-based films, writings, archival materials, and audio drawings.

Follow Through is an exhibition that reaffirms this gallery’s founding commitment to artistic practices grounded in inquiry, dialogue, and expanded historical awareness.

Follow Through reflects a constellation of distinct yet resonant works, each contributing to a broader conversation about process, transformation, and continuity. The exhibition’s title speaks to persistence and the fertile potential of sustained conviction. It suggests, not the completion of a cycle, but the momentum that carries ideas forward—an energy that resonates throughout the practices on view. Whether through material transformation, iterative processes, or long-term engagements with history and form, the participating artists demonstrate a commitment to seeing ideas through, allowing them to evolve, deepen, and expand over time.

Discussion | Book Launch Exploring NYC in the 20s: Hidden Hsitories of Jazz Age New York, From the Suppressed to the Strange


Enjoy a book talk with author Jonathan Ezra Goldman (Professor in the Humanities Department at New York Institute of Technology) as he discusses his new book, Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York: From the Suppressed to the Strange. Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York offers a fresh look at 1920s New York City, unearthing stories of everyday life and marginalized communities. In sections that intertwine entertainment, politics, art, technology, crime, shopping, eating, and recreation, the book portrays sweeping events such as the Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and immigration reform through anecdotes of individual experiences that counter the era's popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration. This whirlwind tour of early 1920s New York City visits an all-female police platoon, a Black amusement park shut down before it opened, socialist Puerto Rican cigar factories, Chinatown funerals, overcrowded jails, toxic dumps, and Ku Klux Klan recruitment offices. Along the way you'll meet Greenwich Village denizens such as Khalil Gibran, and his Arabic literary salon, and Eve Adams, and the lesbian cafe she ran in the neighborhood. This is the backdrop to the everyday challenges and triumphs of a city beset by crowds, automobile traffic, and rapidly changing technology and urban infrastructure, as well as erased stories of injustices like Jim Crow practices, immigration anxieties, and the violent treatment of political dissent.

Performance | ORLANDO TRIP: Multi-Disciplinary Mythic Performance "with a Hypnotic Aura"


Experience ORLANDO TRIP, a genre-defying performing arts concert by Vienna-based collective Fox On Ice that reimagines the mythical figure of Orlando through music, spoken performance, film, and visual storytelling. Paying tribute to Ludovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf, the production explores fluidity, transformation, and the crossing of borders through a contemporary European lens. Part concert, part spoken performance, part cinematic experience, ORLANDO TRIP unfolds through twelve songs, intermezzi, and videos that trace the journey of Orlando -- knight, traveler, ambassador, and nomadic conqueror of rigid identities. Seamlessly blending stage and film, music and literature, Fox On Ice creates an immersive world where humans and landscapes, masculinity and femininity, reality and myth continuously transform into one another. Described by critics as "a performance with a hypnotic aura" and "a successful mix of elegance and opulence," ORLANDO TRIP offers sensual access to a European myth centered on fluidity and the feminine art of transformation. The internationally acclaimed production has been presented at theaters and festivals across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia.

Talk | Literary Scholar Explores Walt Whitman's Sexuality: Was He a Gay Icon? (In Person AND Online!)


In celebration of Pride Month, esteemed scholar Karen Karbiener hosts a presentation on Walt Whitman's status as a gay icon. Was our celebrated "Bard of Democracy" queer? Despite nearly two centuries of efforts by censors, scholars, and others to heterosexualize Walt Whitman— create progeny, convert female friends to lovers, manipulate his pronouns—the truth remains that America’s poet was also its first gay spokesperson and activist. Karbiener explores the many ways Whitman asserted that he was gay, and the many ways that others have denied it.

Play | Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Live in the Park


The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, directed by Stephen Burdman, is presented outdoors in a free, open-air production.

As alliances fracture and public tensions rise, Shakespeare's exploration of power, persuasion, and responsibility unfolds with striking contemporary relevance.

Screening | Peafowl (2022): Korean LGBTQ+ Drama


Peafowl follows Myung, a transgender dancer living in Seoul, as she is drawn back to her estranged hometown after the sudden death of her father—a master of traditional Korean folk percussion. To claim her inheritance, she must perform a traditional memorial rite deeply rooted in gendered ritual, forcing a reckoning between who she is and what her family and community expect her to be. Director Byun Sung-bin brings an electric, kinetic energy to the film, grounding its emotional intensity in the textures of folk ritual, queer identity, and the unfinished business of family. Director: Byun Sung-bin Cast: Choi Haejun, Ko Jae-hyun, Kim Woo-kyum In Korean with English subtitles.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers


Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don’t miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself.
