Author Reading | Stephen Graham discusses his book Vertical: The City from Satellites to Bunkers


As the urban landscape grows ever more vertical, extending from the satellites that encircle our planet to the tunnels deep within the ground, Stephen Graham argues it is time for a revolutionary re-imagining of our cities. Starting at the edge of earth’s atmosphere and, in a series of riveting studies, descending through each layer, Graham explores the world of drones, the city from the viewpoint of an aerial bomber, the design of sidewalks and the hidden depths of underground bunkers. In his new book Vertical: The City from Satellites to Bunkers, Graham argues that it is time for a revolutionary re-imagining of our cities.

Lecture | The Two Ages of Artist House: Ornette Coleman in SoHo


In the late 1960s, Ornette Coleman acquired a large, unfinished space at 131 Prince Street in SoHo that was one of the first and most important locations for what came to be known as the loft jazz scene in downtown Manhattan. But there has been surprisingly little documentation on Coleman's performance space and gallery. Drawing on more than two dozen interviews and an illuminating selection of photographs and archival materials, Brent Hayes Edwards' talk is an attempt to begin to tell the history of Artist House, as well as to explain Coleman's seldom recognized but central role in arts activism during the era when SoHo was beginning to flourish
