Book Club | Theatre and the Question of the Absurd


This four-session course will look at key plays and authors of what has come to be called (notably by critic Martin Esslin) “the Theatre of the Absurd.” With each play, participants will develop their notion of what “the absurd,” as a concept and as a technique, might have meant in the crafting and reception of these plays, and what it could mean now. Should we think of “the absurd” as a philosophical concept (life is meaningless, with no metaphysical presence or authority) – to which the existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre responded by insisting on human responsibility to create meaning? Should we think of “the absurd” as the realm of non-sense (incoherent thought and /or language; disassociation of what is said from what is seen) that captures how we often communicate? Or, is “the absurd” how we label behavior that is unacceptable or incomprehensible? Could “absurdist theatre” engage all of these definitions? The course will also ask why it is that all of these plays have seen recent and successful politicized productions, two (Rhinoceros and The Maids) being newly translated by the brilliant British dramatist Martin Crimp. Could it be that the absurd, seen in a certain light, speaks pointedly to our current historical moment of political crises and insecurity? Participants will be expected to have read the dramatic text BEFORE coming to the relevant session. THIRD SESSION: Ionesco, one of the earliest of the “absurdists” with, notably, the infamous Parisian production of The Bald Soprano (1950), railed against his contemporary Bertolt Brecht because of Brecht’s didacticism. In Rhinoceros (translated by Derek Prouse), Ionesco, nevertheless, put his own absurdist imagination to work in order to skewer authoritarianism. This session will question who or what the rhinoceri might mean in this play, and in the world, and what the process is that brings them into power. The session will also ask how one might represent them on stage.

Opening Reception | Alyssa Monks | Clio Newton: A 2-Artist Exhibition


A two-person exhibition of new and bold figurative works by Alyssa Monks (b. 1977) and Clio Newton (b. 1989). The two women are among today’s most influential, internationally-recognized artists.  While each has a unique approach to her art, both artists employ formidable technique to portray a thoroughly contemporary sensibility.  Diving deeply and unapologetically into charged, impassioned moments revelatory of their female subjects, Monks’ oil paintings and Newton’s works in charcoal, colored pencil or oil are vivid expressions arising from the unique personal perspective of each artist, described in her own distinct visual language. Viewed together, the eleven works in the exhibition are complementary and widely different visual experiences, commanding our attention while illuminating the accomplishments of two visionary leaders of contemporary figuration.

Opening Reception | Felix R. Cid: A Mechanical Resolution


A meditation on the process of creating art in a technically advanced society. The subjects Cid depicts are abstract cyborgian figures with complex textures and explosions of color surrounded by scribbles of text, impasto polka dots, limbs and weapons made from silicone, graphite, spray paint and more. For Cid, however, the focus of his work lies not particularly in the content he depicts but on the transformative process of painting itself.

Opening Reception | Harriet Korman: Portraits of Squares, 2022–'23


This group of ten new paintings exudes a visual as well as intellectual vibrancy and attraction which, by far, exceeds their modest scale. Though Korman has been described “… as one of New York’s purest abstract painters without a brand” (John Yau, reviewing her 2020 survey exhibition in Hyperallergic), there are clear connections between the various series in her oeuvre. These new paintings relate to the works presented in Korman’s widely praised 2018 and 2021 exhibitions. In 2018, she explored a quadrant format, where each quadrant was formulated with bars of random color, resulting in different patterns, configurations, highlights and surprising outcomes. In her 2021 show, the artist used a configuration of concentric rectangles, deciphering and adjusting fast intuitive drawings into necessarily slow paintings, a process she found intriguing.

Book Discussion | House Cat: Inspirational Interiors and the Elegant Felines Who Call Them Home


Paul Berbera launches his new book, talking fancy felines and the beautiful interiors in which they rule. In conversation with Ghislaine Viñas. This is not a book about cats. Nor is it a book on interiors. It is somewhere in-between: a look at how cats and interiors interact, and how cats become a fundamental part of one’s home. Really, it is about how a cat completely takes over their home. House Cat is a celebration of fifty-seven charismatic cats and the incredible spaces that they nonchalantly wander. From Grace Coddington’s famous felines in their cosmopolitan New York apartment all the way to the farmhouse cat who has no idea that his owner is the great Bunny Williams.

Opening Reception | Hunter Amos: Rough Hold


The show features the artist's latest paintings that depict the resonant existential struggle of contending with confinement. Amos’s paintings focus on figures in various levels of abstraction that symbolize the dichotomy of liberation and containment. The paintings set a stage for nuanced and ambiguous engagement, prompting contemplation of whether the figures are endeavoring to fit within the established boundaries or daring to break through the limits of the picture plane. Over the past two years, this series has developed into a profound reflection of the artist's navigation through new techniques, materials and approaches. The search for transformative methods has resulted in a heightened understanding of expressing identity in forms that extend beyond bodily representation. This evolution mirrors the artist's psychological journey, enriched by the experience of relocating to a new city. The significant move  has not only expanded his physical horizons but has opened doors to previously elusive and abstract concepts.

Opening Reception | Mary Weatherford: Sea and Space


Dominated by the color green, Weatherford’s new paintings make visual reference to arboreal and aquatic environments. Some of them also revivify the pairing of empyreal and oceanic imagery that appeared in her work decades ago. There are allusions, too, to outer space, an interest reflected in and maintained by Weatherford’s collection of NASA photographs and by her visits to the Hayden Planetarium in New York. Weatherford’s work is rooted in her experience and observation of urban and rural environments, which she employs as prompts to investigate the properties of light, color, and gesture. Often drawing inspiration from the kinds of commonplace and organic materials identified with Arte Povera, she has also studied American abstract painters of the 1950s and 1960s such as Helen Frankenthaler and Kenneth Noland. Further imbuing her paintings with spatial illusion and a spirit of existential inquiry, Weatherford has incorporated additional materials such as shells, sponges, bottle caps, and neon lights.

Opening Reception | Masamitsu Shigeta: Jewelry Box


Known for his paintings of urban landscapes in artist-made frames, this latest body of work refines his approach with an emphasis on the shapes and colors of the cities he’s walked around this year: Tokyo, New York, Dallas, and Seoul. Shigeta locates the sublime within scenes of daily life across these distinct locations. Shigeta compares painting this show to making jewelry. The visual gems he finds on the street are mined and processed via the act of painting. Paying particular attention to light and form, a fiery red outdoor dining shed in New York pictured in A Red House (2023) recalls the curt geometry and radiant color of a faceted gemstone. Elegantly outstretched branches against a steel-toned sky suggest intricate silver work, while striped beams of city lights reflecting off of Seoul’s Hangang river glisten like scattered jewels.

Opening Reception | Phil Davis: The Beach Boys


Davis is interested in theater – both in the literal sense, and in daily life. In performance and in painting, he seeks the lowest common denominator of representation: the critical accumulation of gesture and line necessary to convey the complexities of an identity. Source material for Davis has ranged from Halloween costume catalogs, teen horror films, children’s books about the Medieval era, to love songs. His works emerge in the space between the signified and the signifier - the inevitable disconnect between the archetype being represented and limits of the medium used to represent it. In costumes, complex histories and identities are reduced to cheap simulacra: a plastic centurion helmet and sword for the Roman Soldier, fitted polyester scrubs and a nonfunctional stethoscope for the Nurse, oversized, lens-less glasses and suspenders for the Nerd. Like these costumes, Davis’s paintings exist in a reality that is implied rather than experienced. In this latest body of work, Davis starts with the cover art for the Beach Boys album Pet Sounds as the original reference image: the five members of the group captured in a semi-candid moment, stiffly feeding goats in a petting zoo.

Opening Reception | Tursic & Mille: Sweet Nothings


Since they began collaborating as a duo in 2000, painters Tursic & Mille have been interrogating the contemporary overload of images and their relation with pictorial representation, questioning their reproduction, circulation and disappearance. Taken out of movies, magazines, media and the enormous repertory of data available on the internet, this boundless source of anonymous, preexisting material is used up and transformed into paintings. With their landscapes, erotica, portraits and abstract compositions, Tursic & Mille blur pre-existing hierarchies between all kinds of images, aiming to go forward with the history and genre of painting as it exists in the 21st century.

Book Club | The Secret Life of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of the American Supermarket by Benjamin Lorr


In the tradition of Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore's Dilemma, an investigation into the human lives at the heart of the American grocery store. The American supermarket is an everyday miracle. But what does it take to run one? What are the inner workings of product delivery and distribution? Who sets the price? And who suffers for the convenience and efficiency we've come to expect? In this exposé, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on this highly secretive industry. Combining deep sourcing, immersive reporting, and compulsively readable prose, Lorr leads a wild investigation to learn the secrets of Trader Joe's success from Trader Joe himself; drive with truckers caught in a job they call "sharecropping on wheels;" break into industrial farms with activists to learn what it takes for a product to earn certification labels like "rainforest friendly" and "fair trade;" follow entrepreneurs as they fight for shelf space, learning essential tips, tricks, and traps for any new food business; and journey with migrants to examine shocking forced labor practices through their eyes.T
