Talk | On Sanctuary (in-person and online)
Speaker Maria Popova is a reader and a wonderer reckoning with the meaning of it all in writing. Her website The Marginalian is the record of the reckoning — a one-woman labor of love, exploring what it means to live a tender, thoughtful life of purpose and gladness, wonder-smitten by reality. Founded in 2006 as an email to seven friends under the outgrown name Brain Pickings and since included in the Library of Congress permanent web archive of culturally valuable materials, it remains a chronicle of her ongoing becoming — intellectually, creatively, spiritually, poetically — drawn from her extended marginalia on the search for meaning across science, art, philosophy, and the various other tendrils of human thought and feeling; a private inquiry shimmering with the ultimate question, the great quickening of wonderment that binds us all: What is all this?

Performance | Audience Participation Theater Experience
Guided by questions and prompts, audience members create a shared script together in A Thousand Ways, an entirely participatory theater experience. Obie Award-winning performance troupe 600 Highwaymen present A Thousand Ways (Part Three): An Assembly. The final experience of their triptych of encounters between strangers is an intimate reckoning -- of how small we are in the face of awesome natural forces, and of our mutual dependence. An Assembly tasks an audience of 16 strangers to reconstruct an evocative story of perseverance and ruin. This unique theatrical event tests the ways we arrange ourselves after so much time apart. This experience will be discovered and enacted by audience members in collaboration with each other. The instructions for the performance are written on notecards, and audience members read what is written on them. Written & Created by Abigail Browde & Michael Silverstone 600 Highwaymen (Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone), are "standard bearers of contemporary theater-making" (Le Monde), who have "quietly been shaking up American theatre since 2009" (The Guardian). They are recipients of Switzerland's ZKB Patronize Prize, and their work has been nominated for two Bessie Awards, a Drama League Award, and Austria's Nestroy Prize. In 2016, Abigail and Michael were named artist fellows by the New York Foundation for the Arts and are currently Associate Artists of IN SITU, the European platform for artistic creation in public space.

Opening Reception | Tunga: Vê-nus
An exhibition of works by the late Brazilian artist Tunga, organized by Brazilian art historian, curator, and writer Paulo Venancio Filho. This marks the gallery’s sixth solo show dedicated to Tunga’s work, and the first since the artist’s passing in 2016. The exhibition sheds light on Tunga’s drawing practice, a lesser-known aspect of the artist’s oeuvre, but one that was no less central to his project than his renowned sculptures, installations, and performances. Works on paper from throughout his career will be presented alongside a number of key sculptures. Tunga customarily presented his work as an integrated body that establishes an associative interplay of mirroring and self-reference between the individual pieces. At the heart of his practice lies a desire to uncover the mystical undercurrents of modernity.

Opening Reception | Ben Tong: In a Year of 13 Moons
2023 will be a year of thirteen moons. Borrowing its title from Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1978 film - which itself makes reference to an alleged astrological phenomenon that casts dark shadows and creates existential difficulties, particularly for those of a melancholic disposition - this exhibition showcases a particular tonal register that Ben Tong has been mining over the past year in his Los Angeles studio. The resulting paintings, despite their somber mood, glow with a hallucinatory intensity, creating a resonant disparity that seems to draw us in while simultaneously expanding the space that surrounds us. Whereas some paintings seem to whisper or scream their message out at us, if Tong's paintings were to have a sound, it would be a meditative hum: one that beckons us inside, while at the same time refusing to seduce us with any overt clarity.

Opening Reception | Roe Ethridge: American Polychronic
An exhibition of new photographs by Roe Ethridge that shares its title with the recently published first comprehensive survey of the artist’s work from 1999 to 2022. Moving within and between photographic genres, from art historically informed portraiture and still-life composition to the styled and coded world of the fashion shoot and the bottomless well of stock and online imagery, Ethridge juxtaposes staged scenes with chanced-upon vignettes, pursuing a formal language that trades in visual friction and the wry transgression of structural rules. His ever-expanding catalogue of hybrid images reflects the textures of contemporary American society, expanding on a formal sensibility peculiar to the “generic Methodist, Southern, middle-class world” in which he grew up.

Opening Reception | Victor Boullet: Werkk.Werkk.Liverpool.Painting
Boullet's compositions are the accumulations of every single moment in his life, everything he has seen spurs paint on canvas. Victor’s productions are not for anything, they are just happening. This quick, revolving door of images correlates to the experience of walking and capturing snapshots between blinks. As he walks, he carries the world in his mind. Notably, this space of transit is one where mistakes and failures can be reflected upon.

Book Discussion | The Second Karmapa Karma Pakshi: Tibetan Mahasiddha (in-person and online)
A fascinating presentation and discussion of Karma Pakshi, the Second Karmapa, whose extraordinary life is captured in Charles Manson’s book, a first-ever comprehensive biography of Karma Pakshi in English, revealing new information about this pivotal historical figure in the development of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in East Tibet in the thirteenth century, Karma Pakshi himself was the first meditation master to be named Karmapa, and was widely acknowledged as a mahāsiddha. He was therefore invited to the Mongol imperial court, where he gave spiritual advice and meditation instructions to Mongke Khan, and he also persuaded the emperor of the virtues of vegetarianism.

Theater | Five Ukrainian Actors in a Multi-Genre Theater Piece
Mothermotherland is a devised performance that explores motherhood, motherland, and Ukrainian and American experience through the lens of Mykola Khyvylovy's 1924 autobiographical short story "I am (a Romantic)", which tells of a head of secret police who must decide whether or not to execute his own mother in order to protect his political ideals. The Slovo Theater Group was established in April 2022 through a grant enabling 5 Ukrainian artists from Kharkiv to join playwright Audrey Rose Degez for a 5-month artistic residency to develop the piece.
