Galleries | Partake in a Conceptual Art Project on the Spatialization of Time


Conceptualized in 1970 as a contribution for a seminar at Les Arcs in the French Alps, David Lamelas’s Time articulates time visible at multiple levels: in a site, as information, and as an activity. In this work, time becomes both spatialized and durational through the performance of “passing" time down a line of participants. The first person states the current time to the next person, who waits one minute before passing it along again. This sequence continues down the line until it reaches the final participant, who then announces the time in any language they choose. A print of the first iteration of Time, as well as a video of the 2020 virtual iteration are on view.

Opening Reception | El amor se esconde como un animal salvaje: Solo Painting Exhibition on Connection in a Fragmented World


El amor se esconde como un animal salvaje, Daniel Correa Mejia's solo exhibition, showcases a new body of paintings that portray scenes of care, intimacy, and love set against vast landscapes. This presentation furthers the artist's unique visual style, expanding upon his signature biochromatic palette of red and ultramarine to include the gamut of tones and their spiritual connotations. Whether depicting humans or animals, Correa Mejia's compositions evince a desire to find connection and sense of self not through tribalism, but through the radical act of shared vulnerability. The title of the exhibition, which translates to Love hides like a wild animal, underscores the sensitivity present in each work. Like a wild animal, love retreats at any sign of threat; the desire to capture, classify, or control love ultimately renders it invisible. To open oneself up to another -- and consequently accept the risk of being hurt -- is an essential act that nonetheless requires immense courage. The artist presents scenes of deep tenderness and affection while simultaneously withholding narrative transparency: Are these bonds familial, communal, societal, romantic? Rather than provide resolution, Correa Mejia's paintings offer these questions to encourage an openness to all forms of connection in an increasingly fragmented world, a notion reflexively furthered by the very act of exhibition, in which the artist sensitively presents his own feelings and practice for an unknown audience.

Opening Reception | Strip: Group Exhibition Exploring the Body As an Artistic Medium


Experience Strip, a group exhibition bringing together three major works by the groundbreaking artists Jimmy DeSana, Carolee Schneemann, and Martha Wilson. DeSana, Schneemann, and Wilson combine performance with seriality, text, and photo to establish the body as a medium within conceptual art. Created between 1972-1973 in the context of a male-dominated conceptual art movement and a cultural backdrop of conservative backlash against the recent civil rights, feminist, and gay liberation movements, these performance-driven works undermined societal taboos and restrictions surrounding sexuality and gender within the art world and beyond. DeSana, Schneemann, and Wilson’s campy, provocative, and collaborative works claimed their autonomous subjectivity within spaces that were not accustomed to such commanding presence. By dressing up and dressing down, the artists in Strip simultaneously undressed the assumed systems of authority, transforming them into sites of radical liberation.

Enjoy a panel discussion with the authors of Mothers of Invention, followed by a reception celebrating the opening of the exhibition. In this landmark book, Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal, and Sue Scott offer a radical rethinking of contemporary art through a feminist lens. Tracing the lineages of performance, abstraction, craft, and ecofeminism, they reveal the profound influence of pioneering women artists on practices that define the field today. Together, the authors will reflect on the ideas at the heart of the book and exhibition, exploring how feminist artists challenged dominant narratives and helped shape a more expansive, inclusive, and socially engaged art world.

Talk | Curator-Led Journey through the Diverse Treasures and Unique Heritage of Nubian Art


This lecture will present an overview of 6,000 years of objects from Nubia’s diverse cultures and empires. It will attempt to define the characteristics of Nubian art, emphasizing how it differs from Egyptian art to which it is often — but incorrectly — unfavorably compared. Dr. Rita Freed, curator emerita at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, explores Nubia’s artistic richness. Nubia, the land of the Nile Cataracts, produced art that speaks to the creativity of its artists, architects, crafts people, and thinkers. Yet until recently, its material culture has not received the attention it deserves. Presented in collaboration with the American Research Center in Egypt’s National and New York Chapter, Dr. Freed focuses upon the diverse treasures and unique heritage of this land encompassing southern Egypt and northern Sudan.

Concert | 100 Electric Guitars Play at Once: Avant-Garde, Maximalist Symphony


Hear a live performance of the late composer Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 13, aka Hallucination City, which premiered in June of 2001 and was one of the last works of art to take place at World Trade Center Plaza. Written in four movements for an orchestra of 100 electric guitar players and intended to be played uninterrupted in just over an hour, the work has become a landmark of avant-garde music, notorious for its maximalism, eccentric tuning, and overwhelming intensity. Branca, a prolifically eclectic creative mind with roots in the no wave rock scene, built a symphony so legendarily iconoclastic that it became synonymous with the furthest extremes of sound. Due to the project's challenging orchestration and significant complexity, Hallucination City has never had a full revival in New York City... until now. Don't miss this one-night-only opportunity, conducted by Reg Bloor, to experience a musical megalith revived in the city of its birth. Pay-what-you-wish tickets go on sale on May 20 at noon.

Open Studios | Meet 3 Museum Artists-in-Residence & See What They're Working On


This museum's 2026 artists in residence, Derriann Pharr, Simonette Quamina, and Taylor Simmons, open their studios to the public. Visitors are invited to meet the artists and be among the first to view their works in progress.  Derriann Pharr is an interdisciplinary artist who uses an array of media to investigate intersections of identity, safe spaces, memory, and abjection of the human body. Simonette Quamina's diverse upbringing is constantly woven into the narratives of her work through the reconstruction of personal and collective histories. Taylor Simmons’s paintings, prints, and drawings incorporate hazy fluorescent depictions of everyday life, forming an archive of compulsively collated imagery. His layered compositions, distinct for their neon-colored palette and balance of acrylic, oil, airbrush, and wax, slip between figuration and abstraction and specificity and ambiguity.

Galleries | Partake in a Conceptual Art Project on the Spatialization of Time


Conceptualized in 1970 as a contribution for a seminar at Les Arcs in the French Alps, David Lamelas’s Time articulates time visible at multiple levels: in a site, as information, and as an activity. In this work, time becomes both spatialized and durational through the performance of “passing" time down a line of participants. The first person states the current time to the next person, who waits one minute before passing it along again. This sequence continues down the line until it reaches the final participant, who then announces the time in any language they choose. A print of the first iteration of Time, as well as a video of the 2020 virtual iteration are on view.

Galleries | Durational Pedagogies: Intimate, Speculative, & Expansive Works Exploring Temporality


The exhibition presentation introduces new works developed over the course of a yearlong artistic fellowship, including installations, texts, performances, and research-based projects shaped through sustained engagement with site and duration. These works offer a range of intimate, speculative, and expansive responses to questions that guided the artists' inquiry: How do constructions of time shape creative and pedagogical practice? What emerges when we attune ourselves to temporality—its rhythms, ruptures, and accumulations?

Opening Reception | Night Shift: Solo Photography Exhibition Documenting NYC's Interplay of Grit & Magic


Photographer Ryan McGinley turns his lens back towards the city that never sleeps to present his newest body of work, Night Shift. The project recodes the aesthetics of his early practice–the raw, energetic spontaneity of nude bodies traversing the American landscape–to arrive at the endless possibilities of a nocturnal New York in a brave new world. Night Shift weaves unique historical threads into the fabric of now, moving from the daydreaming pastures to the realities of a concrete paradise. Shot between 9pm and 5am through Spring into Winter 2025, the series captures all five boroughs - east to west, up to down. Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Employing a slow shutter, long lens, and radio flash, McGinley creates luminous, hallucinatory scenes in which bodies and city become one. Night Shift oscillates between post-apocalyptic and satirical song, as the iconically idiosyncratic landmarks emerge as their own subjects throughout the series, including the K Bridge, Fort Greene Park, Lincoln Center, the Angel of the Waters at Bethesda Fountain, and an abstracted Cyclone on Coney Island. Bicycles, bodegas, sanitation trucks, and staircases become props to the interplay of grit and magic that is McGinley’s New York. “This is my poem to New York City,” says McGinley. “A place where the rare quietness of the city can reveal itself as a playground for a body in motion.”

As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don't miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernandez (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)

Attend a workshop and interactive talk hosted by writer and organizer Fiona Alison Duncan and artist SoiL Thornton. Held on the occasion of Thornton's solo exhibition and part of Duncan's ongoing series Hard to Read, this event brings artists in conversation with civic practitioners, experts on housing, real estate, and city life to discuss creative solutions to the unaffordability and tenant crises in New York and the U.S. more broadly. The talk departs from an article written by Duncan in 2025 for CULTURED at HOME. Entitled "The 9 Circles of Artist Housing Hell (And How Artists Survive Them)," it foregrounds artists and housing--a central theme in Thornton's exhibition. The event will feature contributions from historian Bench Ansfield, urban planner Marc Norman, multimedia social practice artist and activist Betty Yu, artist and member of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project Ariana Faye Allensworth, and artists Brontez Purnell, Matt Hilvers, and Cameron Rowland.

Jazz | Trumpet Works for Sound, Spirit, & Storytelling


Art Blakey's bandstand performs. The trumpet chair in Art Blakey (aka Buhaina) and the Jazz Messengers is one of the most demanding and transformative seats in jazz. Under Blakey's relentless swing and uncompromising leadership, generations of trumpeters were forged in sound, spirit, and storytelling. When Wynton Marsalis stepped into Buhaina's band in the early 1980s, he didn't simply join a group--he stepped into a lineage rooted in blues feeling, virtuosity, discipline, and deep respect for the art form. Hosted and curated by acclaimed trumpeter Bruce Harris, Buhaina's Hot Seat traces how the Jazz Messengers' trumpet tradition shaped hard bop, defined generations of musicians, and continues to influence today's jazz landscape. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon for all.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers (Sensory Adapted)


Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don’t miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernández (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)
