Opening Reception | Groomed: Solo Painting Exhibition Depicting Elaborate, Sumptuous Scenes
An exhibition of seven new paintings by Bea Scaccia. The paintings in Groomed depict elaborate, sumptuous scenes filled with accumulations of fabric and various accoutrements of feminine style including wigs, costume jewelry, shoes, belts, zippers, plastic chains, hair clips, bows, tassels, and faux fur. Backed by colorful curtains and patterned wallpaper, and occupied by chairs, beds, and ladders, these nighttime scenarios are illuminated by representations of fringed lamps, clip-on book lights, and precariously placed lit candles. The nocturnal atmosphere is reinforced by the matte surfaces that Scaccia achieves by mixing gesso with acrylic to mute the colors, reworking them with airbrush, and applying oil paint to selected details. Incorporating an array of deliberately clashing textures and garish colors, these collections of objects come together to approximate faceless bodies and puppetlike limbs that are sheathed in fishnet tights, positioned as if in arrested motion. These partially formed figures appear to attempt activities—sitting, reclining, reading, climbing, and exercising—that they cannot quite complete. Categorically situated between still life and figuration, Scaccia’s works depict an enigmatic realm in which inanimate accessories used for beautification approach, but never fully attain, human form.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Italian Novel Reissued: Coins in the Fountain Discussed by the Author's Daughter
In 1952, newsman and novelist John H. Secondari published Coins in the Fountain-- the bestselling novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film, Three Coins in the Fountain. Born in Rome and raised in America, Secondari brought his personal experience to his story of American expatriates in postwar Italy. Secondari's daughter, Linda Secondari -- Creative Director of Studiolo Secondari and publisher of this new edition -- has a conversation about reissuing her father's novel more than seventy years after its original publication. The group will discuss Rome and the Trevi Fountain as characters in their own right, the complicated portrayal of women, and the American exceptionalism of the era that colored how these characters saw Italy, and how Italians saw them. Linda will speak candidly about the very personal experience of rereading her father's work today and how it has deepened her relationship with her history.

Talk | Renaissance Scholar Discusses Her Successful Raphael Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibition
In a conversation with Columbia Professor Michael Cole, curator Carmen C. Bambach will look back at the planning and the triumphant execution of this year’s exhibition, which was seen by more than 562,000 visitors over its three-month run. Massive, moving, and marked by fresh insights, the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the U.S., Raphael: Sublime Poetry (which was at The Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier this year) was a masterpiece of scholarship and diplomacy by its curator, Carmen C. Bambach. She brought together a display of 237 works, including some of the artist’s greatest masterpieces and lesser-known treasures, to tell a new story of Raphael’s talents. Dr. Bambach is an expert in such achievements: she is the acclaimed Renaissance scholar who curated two earlier blockbusters. Please review the venue's access requirements.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)
Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Author Reading | Up-and-Coming Writer Shares Her First English-Language Book with Valeria Luiselli: Wishbone
Laia Jufresa's first book written in English, Wishbone is dreamy and precise, insightful and thrilling: a work of lived-in magic with a colorful cast of irresistible characters, a dazzlingly inventive structure, and a stunning final revelation. About the Book: Tor Sima is the founder of the International Museum of Color in Oaxaca. Vica Luft is a secretary and single mother in Edinburgh. Disparate as their lives are, they mirror and inform one another in striking ways: an early trauma, a shared lover, an affinity for the octopus. Moving backward in time across two decades and seven cities, Wishbone quietly unravels what ties them together and what sets them apart. This is a captivating story about motherhood and friendship, art and commerce, selfhood and loss; about the parts of us that go missing when a loved one disappears, and the tentacular bonds forged by the families we create.
