Talk | Erwin Blumenfeld from Berlin to New York: A Life in Photography (online)


Granddaughter Nadia Blumenfeld Charbit gives her personal insights into one of 20th century most innovative photographers, Erwin Blumenfeld. Photographer Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) survived two world wars to become one of the world's most highly-paid fashion photographers and a key influence on the development of photography as an art form. An experimenter and innovator, he produced an extensive body of work including drawings, collages, portraits and nudes, celebrity portraiture, advertising campaigns and his renowned fashion photography both in black and white and color. Yet one of the most innovative photographers of the 20th century is little known today - and the reasons for this lie in his unconventional lifestyle. In this talk, Paris-based granddaughter Nadia Blumenfeld Charbit gives her personal insights into the life and work of the photographer Erwin Blumenfeld.

Discussion | Intersections: Marking Fifty Years of Hip Hop and the WTC


Intersections examines the often-surprising connections between 9/11 and today's world. From global industries to individual lives, the attacks marked a fundamental shift for many, altering trajectories in ways both expected and unforeseen. These programs explore these shifts and make visible 9/11's continuing legacy. Amid one of New York City's most tumultuous decades, 1973 saw the dedication of the World Trade Center and the birth of Hip Hop. As we look at 9/11's impact across culture, we mark this twin milestone 50 years later with Dr. MC Debbie D, Hip Hop historian and pioneer MC; Chuck Creekmur, CEO of AllHipHop.com; and Rocky Bucano, Executive Director of the Universal Hip Hop Museum. Together in conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, they reflect on the history of Hip Hop, how the genre has evolved in a post-9/11 world, and how New York City and its ever-changing skyline influenced the artistic movement that now spans the globe.

Gallery Talk | Against Nature: Artist's Walkthrough


A guided tour of Matthew Day Jackson’s exhibition led by the artist and Mark Beasley, Curatorial Director. This walkthrough of Jackson’s debut solo show will center on his new landscape paintings, shedding light on his expansive thinking across disciplines and genres. In his latest works, Jackson mines the history of landscape painting while also referencing the conventions of landscape in science fiction film and literature, where the strange and familiar converge. Engaging with both the suburban and the sublime, Jackson combines digital and physical modes of art making in these new works, inviting questions of medium, materiality, and meaning that are only answered through sustained consideration and interrogation. Rife with visual paradoxes, the artist’s landscape paintings offer views into worlds operating in parallel to our own.

Gallery Talk | Artist Talk: Against Nature


This presentation will mark Jackson's debut solo show with the gallery and his first exhibition in New York in a decade. Titled Against Nature, the artist's upcoming exhibition will center on a focused body of work that includes painting and sculpture. Through his expansive practice, Jackson explores a wide range of subjects--historical, futuristic, scientific, spiritual, and fantastical. At the core of his work is a deep interest in finding similarities within binaries and dichotomies, particularly the simultaneity of beauty and horror. In his research-based, experimental process, the artist considers conceptual and physical underpinnings equally significant, incorporating combinations of traditional, industrial, and found materials in his work across painting, sculpture, installation, and other mediums.

Discussion | From Vienna to the US: Expulsion and Renaissance of Psychoanalysis


A panel discussion about the expulsion and renaissance of psychoanalysis with four wonderful panelists. After the "Anschluss," the annexation of Austria into National Socialist Germany, numerous members and candidates of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society (Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung, WPV) were affected by increased oppression, radicalized attacks and antisemitic legislation. With the commitment and support of the international psychoanalytic community, all threatened Viennese psychoanalysts and candidates left Vienna by spring 1939. The majority emigrated to the US, with a particularly large contingent coming to New York. The panel discussion will discuss the historical events and biographies of Viennese emigre analysts and will consider their influence on psychoanalysis in the decades to follow.

Concert | Grammy Winning Blues Legend Headlines Outdoor Concert (In a Park)


Blues musician Taj Mahal; with Corrine Bailey Rae; The Harlem Gospel Travelers; and DJ Tara. About the Performers 77-year old Taj Mahal is a towering musical figure - a legend who transcended the blues not by leaving them behind, but by revealing their magnificent scope to the world. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo, Taj's collaboration with Keb' Mo', brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations. Blues Hall of Fame membership, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association, and other honors punctuate his resume. Singer/songwriter/musician Corinne Bailey Rae shot to stardom with her self-titled #1 UK debut album in 2006, featuring the global hits Put Your Records On and Like A Star. Bailey Rae has received two Grammy Awards. She was awarded her first Grammy in 2008 for Album Of The Year when featured on Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters. Her EP Is This Love garnered a Grammy for Best R&B Performance. In 2016 Bailey Rae returned with "boundary-defying, epic music" (NPR) for her third studio album, The Heart Speaks In Whispers, also declared "the best R&B of 2016" (The Guardian). The album featured the stunning Green Aphrodisiac, named "10 best R&B songs of 2016" (Billboard) and selected by President Obama for his summer playlist. The Harlem Gospel Travelers draws deeply on the gospel quartet tradition of the '50s and '60s, with a distinctly modern edge. The group - singers Thomas Gatling, George Marage, and Dennis Bailey - released their debut LP, He's On Time, to rave reviews in 2019, with Pop Matters hailing the album's "musical transcendence" and AllMusic praising it as "dreamlike and joyous." The record charted on Billboard, earned the Travelers high profile fans like Elton John (who invited them to appear on his Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music), and landed them festival slots everywhere from Pilgrimage to Telluride Jazz. DJ Tara spins a collage of soulful sounds that capture an eclectic vibe. Her sets acknowledge the past while looking to the future and celebrating the now. Doors open 6:00 pm.

Aiming to simultaneously revitalize traditional forms and to build novel cross-genre partnerships, the collective of Ramamurthy on violin, Sameer Gupta on drums, and Damon Banks on bass perform music that finds spiritual buoyancy in evocative Raga-like strings and drive in its propulsive rhythm section. This full-length concert serves as the Manhattan premiere of the band's latest LP, New Moon Suite. The four-movement work showcases Ramamurthy's penchant for cultural connection and lyrically told stories of migration.
