Opening Reception | Juan de la Rica: Stillness Is the Move


A solo exhibition of new paintings by acclaimed Spanish artist Juan de la Rica. At the heart of Juan de la Rica’s practice is the elevation of form itself. In Stillness Is the Move, de la Rica refines his distinctive visual language through a series of vibrant, contemplative paintings that explore the interplay between color, composition, and the subtleties of human expression. His works—often portraits or still lifes—are defined by their bold, saturated color palette and clean, flat lines, blending playful compositions with art historical references, from biblical and mythological scenes to broader Spanish cultural motifs.

Opening Reception | On Television: Group Show


As the coming end of one era (broadcast television) gives way to another (the advent of artificial intelligence), On Television aims to investigate the continued power of the moving image to create alternate realities, captivating our attention while it reproduces and shapes our world. As the first mass-produced technology to send moving pictures directly into the home, TV quickly displaced the radio as the focal point of home entertainment across the American postwar landscape. Beaming corporate-sponsored narratives of success and optimism into our living rooms as part of a massive postwar consumer boom, the underlying message was clear, we helped win the war and all the bounty of the world was now at our disposal.

Lecture | The Nazi Chronobscene: Extreme Chronopolitics in the Third Reich


The final years of the Third Reich witnessed the rise of a radical strain of chronopolitical discourse suggesting that a German defeat would spell the very end of history. History had only come into being under Hitler and it would perish with him. Ultimately, the war was a gigantic fireworks display in which a fatally accelerated "time without precedent" (Goebbels) was using up all its historical energy. This radical strain was there from the beginning of Nazism and survived its downfall. The talk will analyze its peculiar logic by tracing and connecting several manifestations: the notion of terminal performance underlying the widespread abuse of the methamphetamine Pervitin; the idea of compressed morbidity guiding the future plans of Nazi insurance agencies to advocate a policy of senicide; the early literary prefiguration of the monopolization of history by the Third Reich in Katharine Burdekin's 1937 dystopia Swastika Night; Hans Blumenberg's philosophical take on Hitler's final days; and, most importantly, the post-Stalingrad rhetoric of Joseph Goebbels, who in the wake of Hitler's increasing absence becomes the principal purveyor of the Nazi chronobscene. With Geoffrey Winthrop-Young (MA Freiburg, PhD UBC) is Professor of German and Nordic Studies at the University of British Columbia.

Book Discussion | Pucking Sweet by Emily Rath


The lines between work and play get blurred in this red hot, inclusive, MMF “why choose” hockey romance that set TikTok on fire: "My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays. But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I'll have to prove myself. Easy. PR is in my blood. What’s not so easy are the hockey players. They’re a real handful—especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov. I don't care how well Lukas plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. Brash and bossy, he's always finding ways to drag his teammates into trouble—especially fellow defenseman Colton Morrow—and I have to find brilliant ways to drag them out of it. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I'm getting the job done. Because I am poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings. With one little phone call from home that leads to one drunken mistake, my carefully balanced life is knocked off-kilter. And now I'm staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what’s next. All I know is that nothing will ever be the same." Emily Rath will be live  to meet with fans and discuss her latest release, Pucking Sweet.

Discussion | Thought, Movement, and the Brain


Writer Jennifer Homans — author of Apollo's Angels: A History of Ballet and the monumental recent biography of George Balanchine, Mr. B — in conversation with neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert, whose research focuses on experimental approaches to human movement. This conversation will explore the relationship of movement to the brain. How is thought movement and movement thought? How do we understand the nature of the particular movement and training that is dance? Where is such memory stored in the body and how does it affect those who pursue such a path? What function does dance serve in our personal and collective lives? And, finally, where did the idea to devote a decade to writing about the life and work of Balanchine come from and how did it evolve?

Book Discussion | Wild Looking But Fine: Abbey Theatre Actresses of the 1930s, Lives and Legacies of Theater Stars Through the Tumultuous Times


Actresses Aideen O'Connor and Ria Mooney started their careers at the time when Ireland was eager to control and limit women's sexuality, careers, and independence. Using archival records from Dublin, Galway, New York, and California, author Ciara O'Dowd follows their journeys, from their debuts on the Abbey stage to their performances in New York in 1937, and explores the lives they created for themselves after that tour. O'Dowd delves into their artistic ideas, economic conditions and personal conflicts. Illustrated with original black and white images of the period, Wild Looking But Fine reflects on how we can recreate life stories from the various imprints left behind.
