Gallery Talk | Curator's Tour of Jubilation|Rumination: Life, Real and Imagined


Life is not lived in black and white: reality may have the tinge of dreams and dreams an air of reality. This provocative tension exists between the experiential nature of early American folk art and the fantastical imagery it often displays—between what is real and what is imagined. The same is true of the work of contemporary self-taught artists, which may introduce unique—and sometimes puzzling—expressions that illuminate the iconoclastic nature that is the flip side of the collective American psyche. The viewer is placed in the peculiar but exhilarating position of deciding for him- or herself whether the artwork expresses a disjuncture with reality or an uninhibited embracing of interior life. After all, what is more true, the picture that looks real or the picture that feels real; the observer or the observed?

Lecture | Arendt and Benjamin: History, Immortality, and Limits of Political Action


With speaker Peg Birmingham. In 1951 Hannah Arendt published her groundbreaking work, Origins of Totalitarianism, and immediately drew the anger of just about every influential and well known thinker of that time. The book cut across the grain of the way almost every contemporary historian, political scientist, and even philosophers explained historical phenomena. In her famous reply to Eric Voegelin, Arendt admits that “one of the difficulties of the book is that it does not belong to any school and hardly uses any of the officially recognized or officially controversial instruments.” Surprising in the entire debate surrounding Arendt’s historiography is that Walter Benjamin is never mentioned. Not only is this surprising because Arendt explicitly mentions Benjamin’s essay, “On the Concept of History," in the middle of her all important analysis of imperialism in Origins, but also because her description of her methodology in the Prefaces to Origins as well as her reply to Eric Voegelin, makes it apparent that she is drawing heavily upon Benjamin’s essay. The claim of this lecture is that only by understanding the central place of Benjamin’s concept of history in Arendt’s work are we able to grasp what is truly of concern in her political thought.

Opening Reception | Ceramic Works: Yoshitaka Tsuruta's Monochrome Landscape


This exhibition’s uniqueness is described by Kazuko Todate, the art critic, in her essay on Tsuruta’s work: “A white, belt-shaped slip covers the entire surface of the handsome shaped work. Due to the thickness of the engobe, the minute white grains assume a snow or sand like texture. The upper lines of the belt create gentle undulations resembling the ridge line of a mountain or the slope of a hill that encircle the vessel. While casting a quiet shadow across the surface of the piece, the light and shade of the slip, following the rhythm of the belt, conveys a sense of depth akin to a natural landscape."

Author Reading | James Gillard reads from his book If Harlem Could Talk It Would Scream


If there are 8 million stories in the naked city then Harlem has a million. Most of them can be told by one of its greatest inhabitants – black men. Fame, greed, love and a sense of purpose are the common denominator. But with new real estate, economic resurgence and a greater divide between the haves and the have-nots, their voices have been lost. In this provocative, witty and uncompromising collection of short stories James Gillard takes you on a journey into the lives of men who scream because they can’t be heard.

Opening Reception | Paper-Based Works: Arlene Shechet's Parallel Play


Returning to a medium that has been an integral part of her sculpture-based practice, Arlene Shechet’s bold new series of unique cast paper reliefs and sculptures defy the boundaries normally associated with paper-based works.

Shechet manipulates the fluid state of handmade paper with a sculptor’s hand. Arlene Shechet lives and works in New York City and upstate New York. She is the subject of much recent critical acclaim, including the cover story of Art in America in January 2012 and NYmag’s Top Ten Art Shows of 2010 by Jerry Saltz. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Art, the Anonymous Was A Woman Individual Artist Award, and the Joan Mitchell Foundaton Painters and Sculptors Grant among others. Shown: Top: "Parallel Play: Blues," 2012, stenciled and painted linen pulp on cast cotton base sheets, 30 x 40 inches; Bottom: "Parallel Play: Blues" (detail), 2012

Opening Reception | Group Exhibition: There Is Nothing There


There Is Nothing There brings together a number of artists under a shared Czech sensibility—an attachment to and interest in notions of place and belonging, and the ways in which these ideas are deeply linked to questions of identity and community. The artworks in the exhibition negotiate the abstract idea of belonging, revealing a particular tension inscribed in the landscape and social fabric of the Czech Republic—a tension suspended between the failure of the communist utopia and relentless capitalist expansion.

Jazz | Listening Party: Matt Wilson, Jazz Drummer


Drummer Matt Wilson discusses his two new CDs, WeBop: A Family Jazz Party and An Attitude for Gratitude. WeBop: A Family Jazz Party is a new release that brings the best of its popular WeBop classes home to families everywhere. WeBop: A Family Jazz Party is music for little people, and the big people who love them, to enjoy together-singing, stomping, wiggling, giggling, and jamming with whatever you've got. Led by drummer and father of four, Matt Wilson, the recordings feature an all-star, inter-generational band that includes Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members Marcus Printup and Vincent Gardner, singer and guitarist Doug Wamble, and the legendary percussionist and NEA Jazz Master, Candido Camero. An Attitude for Gratitude: "Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves. They flickered out saying: "It was worth being a bubble, just to have held that rainbow thirty seconds," recites drummer and bandleader Matt Wilson in his composition "Bubbles." Inspired by the poem by Carl Sandburg, the song reflects the message of his tenth album as a leader for Palmetto Records. An Attitude for Gratitude is the fourth album by the award-winning ensemble Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts, an extraordinary collective of musical personalities featuring Wilson, Terell Stafford (trumpet), Gary Versace (piano, organ and accordion) and Martin Wind (bass).

Patrick deWitt, a young writer whose "stop-you-in-your-tracks writing has snuck up on the world" (Los Angeles Times), brings us The Sisters Brothers, a darkly comic, outrageously inventive novel that offers readers a decidedly off-center view of the Wild West. The book was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize. Set against the back-drop of the great California Gold Rush, this odd and wonderful tour de force at once honors and reshapes the traditional western while chronicling the picaresque misadventures of two hired guns, the fabled Sisters brothers. In conversation with Andy Hunter of Electric Literature.

Lecture | The Touring Machine: A New Way of Thinking About Foucault's Late Work


This talk will be concerned with the way that M. NourbeSe Philip's poem "Zong!" gives us a new way of thinking about Foucault's late work on what he called "technologies of the self." Fred Moten is interested in "Zong!" as a poem that must be collectively performed, in order to be read, and how that collective performance not only is an occasion for the study and enactment of alternative forms of personhood that emerge in and out of African diasporic experience. Fred Moten, Helen L. Bevington Professor of Modern Poetry at Duke University, works at the intersection of black studies, performance studies, poetry and critical theory. He is author of Arkansas (Pressed Wafer Press, 2000), Poems (with Jim Behrle) (Pressed Wafer Press, 2002), In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition (University of Minnesota Press, 2003), I ran from it but was still in it.

In the evening, by the moonlight, (or perhaps before twilight), in late spring a child sits by an open window and awaits the summer. He dreams about the County Fair, a place where he can play, eat cotton candy, and just be happy. For cover band artists Gregory von Portz and Ashley Rebecca King, the county fair means something different all together: animosity, jealousy and ceaseless obsession. This is BACKLASH, a combination rock concert/backroom cabaret/interior design showroom, in which Von Portz and King will attempt to claw and scratch their way to victory over a childhood nemesis through song.
