If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick.

Author Reading | Richard S. Wortman discusses his book The Power of Language and Rhetoric in Russian Political History


Wortman examines the rhetorical force of certain key words in the discourses of Russian state, political thought, and literature. He shows how terms for cultured conduct (kul'turnost'), political affection (love, liubov', joy-radost' etc.), personhood (lichnost'), truth (pravda) and geographical integrity (tsel'nost') assumed almost sacral meaning. He considers how these terms took on a life of their own, imposing the designs of the Russian state and defining the hopes of educated society in the process.

Discussion | The Clinical Consequences of Screen Relations: How Intimate Technologies and Technological Intimacies Influence Psychotherapy


Emerging relationship-technologies promise both peril and opportunity. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to navigate between the two possibilities, especially when technology continues to seduce with promises of shimmering unlimited hope. Consequently, a challenge shared by students, early career professionals, and mid-career and senior clinicians is developing a productive relationship with using technology that is consistent with one’s values and clinical identity, as well as with emerging research about technology’s impact on relationships. This lecture will take up that challenge by exploring how “screen relations,” i.e., technologically-mediated relationships, afford different relational possibilities and exhibit different processes and outcomes from what takes place when people are bodies together. A central theme will be the opportunities present when tele(mental)health interventions are information based and the inevitable perils when relational factors are important. Speaker: Dr. Todd Essig

Performance | Autoreconstrucción: Sculpture, Dance, and Music by Abraham Cruzvillegas


For his first institutional work in New York since 2007, Abraham Cruzvillegas combines elements of sculpture, dance, and music to build on his working methodology of autoconstrucción (or “self-construction”). The artist will produce a sculpture using everyday objects and refuse sourced in the Chelsea, a neighborhood currently under large-scale construction and development. This work will be activated in a twenty-minute performance by choreographer Bárbara Foulkes, whose improvised, aerial dance mirrors the suspension of the objects on display. The performance features musical intervention by Andrés García Nestitla.

Workshop | New York Arirang: A Song of the People


Arirang is the most popular traditional folk song of Korea, and it is often considered as symbolizing the spirit of Korean people. Through the 2-day workshop, participants will learn about several traditional regional variations of the Arirang as well as compose verses for a modern "New York" version, which will be inspired by aspects of their everyday, ordinary lives. The Arirang is inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, and according to UNESCO, a great virtue of Arirang is its respect for human creativity, freedom of expression, and empathy. A distinct feature of Korean folk songs is that people can make their own lyrics with regional characteristics and through this workshop, each participant will be able to create their own unique Arirang song.

Play | Henry V: Shakespeare by Obie Award-winning director


Obie Award-winning director Robert O’Hara (Bootycandy, The Brother/Sister Plays (Part 2)) brings a warring King and his band of brothers to New York. Insulted by the regent of France, Britain’s King Henry V decides to wage war and claim the throne across the Channel. But Henry’s charm only distracts the soldiers for so long before the dire stakes of their task calls into question the King’s true motives and direction. Resonating from across the centuries—wherever there may be a kingdom for a stage, and royalty to act—Shakespeare’s drama about invasion, ego and leadership delves into history’s thorniest questions: What makes a person worthy of wearing the crown, and what do they owe the people they lead?

Tour | 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. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Discussion | Signal to Noise: Lecture and Performances


In 1966, artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman and Bell Labs engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhauer established the collective Experiments in Art and Technology with the intention of promoting collaborations between artists and scientists, thus initiating what is now recognized as a watershed effort in nurturing new kinds of interdisciplinary exchange. In the spirit of such collaborations, The Amateur Astronomers Society of Voorhees and the Astronomy Public Outreach program present Signal to Noise, an interdisciplinary salon centering on the topic of sounds of the solar system. A talk by a Columbia astronomer, the presentation of sound and video art pieces, and the distribution of a zine will take place in a variety of locations in hall—a lecture hall, a library, and a stairwell—and will be followed by public access to the department’s observatory for stargazing. Featuring projects that simultaneously embrace, reconfigure, and trouble scientific data and technological ideals, Signal to Noise aims to create an overlapping dialogue that playfully underscores both the confluences and points of fracture between artistic and scientific perspectives.
