Gallery Talk | OttO: Paintings, Video and Sculptures
Laurent Grasso’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. Centered around a remarkable film commissioned for the 21st Biennale of Sydney, which will have its US debut at the gallery, the exhibition presents new paintings, video and sculptures related to themes explored in the film. The eponymous film OttO, Grasso’s most ambitious to date, was shot in November 2017 on four aboriginal sacred sites in the Northern Territory of the Australian desert. When it premiered at the 21st Biennale of Sydney in March 2018, it was an acknowledged highlight of the biennale. OttO was shot in collaboration with the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation and the community of Yuendumu, its “traditional owners.”

Gallery Talk | Town and Country: Grand Yet Intimate Paintings
A solo exhibition by Rebecca Morgan includes new oil paintings on panel, grand in their detail yet intimate in scale, and never before shown busts, which elevate Morgan's characters into regal brass, with a meticulous surface of pimples, chest hair, and crooked teeth. This new work crystallizes Morgan's use of art history and Americana to build archetypal characters straining against their roles. Themes of women, fabricated notions of romance, and the current crisis of masculinity come to life in her exquisitely rendered works. Morgan's narratives exist simultaneously in the past and present. Buxom maidens echo women painted by men over the ages and current conversations about gender, revealing a fresh look at American myths.

Discussion | Filmmaker Jonas Mekas Expanded
Conventional understanding of Jonas Mekas’ contribution to the art world places emphasis on his personal filmmaking. While the legacy of his films unavoidably matters, this event stresses the significance of Mekas’ active role as an institution builder and a creative administrator, as well as an active participant in the New York art’s scene and a pioneer of what we now call expanded cinema. Original and under researched use of sound in Mekas’ films will also be discussed. The presentations by art historians and critics Melissa Ragona (Carnegie Mellon University), Andrew Uroskie (Stony Brook University) and Ed Halter (Bard College) will be preceded by the screening of Film Magazine of the Arts (Jonas Mekas, 1963), Letter to John From Jonas (Jonas Mekas, 1999) as well as clips from Walden (Jonas Mekas, 1968) and Lost Lost Lost (Jonas Mekas, 1976).

Film | Omar Gatlato (1976): Male Posturing and Alienation in Algerian Society
The title of this watershed film refers to the expression "gatlato al-rujula," or, roughly, "machismo killed him..." With its mordant insights into male posturing and alienation in Algerian society, the film animates this bit of folk wisdom as it recounts in mock documentary style, a typical day in the life of a young man in the Bab el-Oued quarter of Algiers, while the camera playfully shows a different story. Director: Merzak Allouache 90 min. Also, two New York premieres: Algerian Novel (Le Roman Algérien), Chapter One, 2016, 16min. Algerian Novel (Le Roman Algérien), Chapter Two, 2017, 34min.

Lecture | Indigeneity, Biocultural Diversity and Decolonization Beyond Anthropocene Extinctions
A lecture by Leonardo E. Figueroa Helland, Associate Professor of Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management at The New School. Figueroa Helland writes: “Indigenous communities customarily occupy about 20% of the planet’s total land surface; yet they protect and manage about 80% of Mother Earth’s remaining biodiversity. Indigenous community lands also house a major portion of the world’s terrestrial carbon (including a quarter of total forest carbon) while showing slower or no land degradation and deforestation. Actually, research shows that Indigenous peoples not only protect, but have also nurtured, restored and even enhanced the biodiversity and climate change mitigation potential of ecosystems."
