SUMMARY:Out Loud in Public
DESCRIPTION:Writers and artists in the United States are looking for relevant creative responses to meet the new challenges in the fight for social justice and equal rights in America in 2017. \nIn her exhibition Piazza Universale / Social Stages\, currently on view through July 30th\, artist Marinella Senatore presents works that are “stages for” and “stages of” a collective social becoming\, and offers tools for individual growth and collective empowerment. \nFor Out Loud in Public\, three Queens-based writers—Jared Harél\, Meera Nair\, and KC Trommer—build on Senatore’s example\, presenting words that respond to the artist’s work\, and inviting the audience to help create a collaborative poem to reflect on and resist the challenges presented by our current political moment. \nJared Harél was awarded the 2015 Stanley Kunitz Memorial Prize from American Poetry Review as well as the 2017 William Matthews Poetry Prize from Asheville Poetry Review. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in such journals as Tin House\, The Threepenny Review\, The Southern Review\, Massachusetts Review\, EPOCH and Ecotone.

SUMMARY:A Tool for Justice: Fútbol as a Social Arena
DESCRIPTION:The role of sports as a social tool is marked by the ways in which athletes challenge the structure of the game through their own representation within and beyond the field. This conversation\, focusing on fútbol\, aims to expand upon how the game is a critical and aesthetic tool that links indigenous heritage with current social issues. Moderated by Marcela Guerrero\, Assistant Curator at The Whitney Museum of American Art\, and referencing the work of Betty Bastidas\, director of Dreamtown and Ronny Quevedo’s exhibition no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime\, the panel investigates a cultural tradition inherited from the past that cuts across several temporalities in the Americas as well as diverse local histories\, which in Ecuador includes its African diaspora and immigration to new territories. \nFollowing the panel Betty Bastida’s film Dreamtown will be screened as part of Passport Thursdays: International Dance\, Music\, and Film Series. \nModerator: Marcela Guerrero\nPanelists: Betty Bastidas and Ronny Quevedo \nBetty Bastidas is an award-winning filmmaker\, photographer and media educator based in Brooklyn\, NY. Originally from Ecuador\, came to the US at the age of nine. She uses filmmaking and photography as social tools to celebrate the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Most recently\, she completed her first international soccer feature\, Dreamtown\, following the precarious dream of a young Afro-Ecuadorian soccer player\, Anibal Chala\, as he strives to make it to the professional leagues\, and over the span of six years sees his dreams become reality. Other credits include a commissioned short film for ITVS Latino Graduates called Can’t Hold Me Back\, following Fernando\, a Latino youth from Detroit as he becomes the first in his family to earn a high school diploma. This story aired on PBS Independent Lens in 2013 and was selected to be part of the PBS Online Film Festival. She is the co-founder of a multicultural production company called Maracuya Productions focusing on stories of injustice and inspiration for underrepresented communities in the US and abroad. Her work has garnered numerous awards\, including 2013 and 2008 NALAC Fund for the Arts\, NALIP/HBO Film Grant\, Post-production grant from the CNCINE Ecuador\, New York Women in Film & Television In-kind grant\, NYFA Photography Fellowship\, and Brooklyn Council of the Arts Community Grant. She is a graduate of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and is based in Brooklyn\, NY. \nMarcela Guerrero is Assistant Curator at The Whitney Museum of American Art. From 2014 to 2017 she worked as Curatorial Fellow at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles where she had a hand in curating—with Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and Andrea Giunta—the upcoming Hammer exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art\, 1960–1985\, for the Getty Foundation’s initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. Prior to her tenure at the Hammer\, she worked in the Latin American and Latino art department at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, where she served as research coordinator for the International Center for the Arts of the Americas. She has also written for a variety of arts publications\, such as ArtNexus\, Caribbean Intransit: The Arts Journal\, and Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts. Guerrero holds a PhD in art history from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. \nRonny Quevedo is a recipient of the 2016 Queens Museum/Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists. He was recently awarded a 2017 A Blade of Grass Fellowship for Socially Engaged Art and a Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellowship. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at The Drawing Center; The Bronx Museum of the Arts; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; and Emerson Gallery (Germany)\, amongst others. Residencies include Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace Program\, Kala Art Institute\, the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Project Row Houses\, Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture\, and Lower East Side Printshop.

SUMMARY:CHIHULY
DESCRIPTION:Artworks by world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly are now on view at NYBG in his first major garden exhibition in New York in more than ten years. CHIHULY\, presented by Bank of America\, showcases more than 20 installations and includes drawings and early works that reveal the evolution and development of Chihuly’s artistic process during his celebrated career. Set within NYBG’s landmark landscape and buildings\, this sensory-filled exhibition is a must-see throughout the changing seasons from spring through fall. \nThe Garden’s dramatic vistas become living canvases for work created specifically for NYBG\, showcasing Chihuly’s signature organic shapes in brilliant colors. Among the singular sights is a monumental reimagination of his storied 1975 Artpark installation: three new works enliven the water features of the Native Plant Garden and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory Courtyard’s Tropical Pool\, reflecting the interplay and movement of color and light. \nSpecial weekend celebrations\, films\, poetry\, and fun-filled art programs for kids offer colorful and imaginative tributes to nature. On CHIHULY Nights\, the exhibition is infused with a magical energy as the artworks are spectacularly illuminated amid NYBG’s sweeping vistas and magnificent Conservatory. \n\nThe exhibit is open from July 7 to October 29. \n\n

SUMMARY:Civic Art Lab | Community Resilience: Build-A-Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop will educate participants in the fundamentals of resilient empowerment\, and have them apply these principles to the conception of their own public design workshops. Operation Resilient Living & Innovation (ORLI+) will present attendees with a suite of community engagement strategies\, designed to maximize collaboration with underserved populations and leverage local assets to grow a resilient society. To maximize the impact of this event\, real-world scenarios will be incorporated\, with the goal of presenting actionable outcomes for local at-risk communities. ORLI+ will conduct the following activities during the workshop: (1) ice-breaker to illustrate deficiencies of standard community design workshops\, (2) presentation of model community workshop objectives and strategies\, (3) presentation of case-study workshop scenarios by local/regional community leaders\, (4) break-out case study analysis and workshop design by participants\, and (5) presentation and discussion of proposed methodologies. \nThis existing workshop model promotes the expansion of a typical conference program\, drawing connections between local communities and professionals\, and visiting experts. ORLI+ believes this enhanced and focused interaction can serve as a model for increasing the impact of architects and designers in their local communities (and vice-versa)\, leveraging the conference platform towards actionable\, resilient community engagement and development. \nCivic Art Lab 2017 is the third iteration of the project\, designed as a pop-up gallery and workshop space in the East Village at Avenue C & 7th Street. The lab will be hosted in partnership with Marc Norov and the Creations Gallery\, a mixed-use community pop-up space\, adjacent to a community-based bike repair shop. Our programming will continue to be low cost for full registrants and free for individual registrants. These workshops\, talks\, and exhibitions are designed by volunteer artists\, designers\, and teachers who lead investigations into diverse themes such as: creative re-use; urban agriculture; sustainable architecture; health & well-being\, and environmental justice\, to name a few. Civic Art Lab is hosted by GreenspaceNYC (www.greenspacenyc.org)\, a non-profit collaborative that develops and curates free educational programming\, hands-on workshops\, and public design projects that encourage dialogue\, enliven public spaces\, and promote the future of more equitable and sustainable cities.

SUMMARY:Temple of Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Temple of Manufacturing presents COMPANY’s long-term project: SECRETS. Traveling to remote sites around the world to learn crafting processes unique to particular industries and places\, the duo (comprised of Aamu Song and Johan Olin) has collaborated over the last decade with a variety of communities to rethink the very processes and knowledge embedded in these places. Applying this knowledge to new and unexpected designs\, COMPANY’s work creates an intersection between the mastery of traditional technique and the invention of a new\, poetic\, and personal material and object-specific vocabulary.\n \nFor the installation at Storefront\, COMPANY presents its own Temple of Manufacturing\, an installa­tion that reflects the feeling of sacredness that the duo encountered while visiting spaces of pro­duction all over the world. Raw materials\, drawings\, objects\, designs\, and process documents are presented alongside a series of frescoes painted in situ that narrate some of the journeys\, topics\, and works that structure their research.\n \nTemple of Manufacturing presents objects conceived and produced as composite figures from COMPANY’s own design methods and their trips to Japan\, Russia\, Finland\, Estonia\, and the Amish communities of Pennsylvania. Part an artist’s travel log\, part a sanctuary for the maker’s masters\, and somewhere between an archive\, an exhibition\, and a store (the ultimate temple of contempo­rary capitalism) the installation reflects upon “the aura of the work of art” (in this case\, the design object)\, and the hidden processes of design research as related to manual versus mechanized pro­duction.\n \n“Designed by COMPANY\,” “Made by COMPANY\,” “Manufactured by COMPANY\,” “Made with COMPANY\,” and “Product of COMPANY\,” the objects presented in this exhibition are built with love and shared with everyone\, maintaining the playfulness that the Eames brought to the world of making\, with an eye toward the ethics of production and global design culture.\n \nThis is available every day until August 7.

SUMMARY:iLANDing: Researching Urban Ecologies with Movement Based Scores
DESCRIPTION:iLAND (Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art\, Nature\, Dance) invites participants for an outdoor workshop for the creation of movement-based scores designed to explore local urban ecologies. \nParticipants will have an opportunity to dance\, draw\, and map based on their observations of the creatures inhabiting Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Some of the activities will draw from research on the behavior of white-footed mice as well as the history of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs. \niLANDing is a practice developed over the past 15 years of iLAB residencies hosted by iLAND. The workshops will be accompanied by the newly released publication A Field Guide to iLANDing: Scores for Researching Urban Ecologies\, which compiles 77 scores sourced from 14 years of iLAND’s interdisciplinary collaborations. For more information and to RSVP for the workshop\, please contact intern@ilandart.org \nParticipants should meet at 1pm in front of the museum’s East Entrance. Drawing materials and light refreshments will be provided. \niLAND (Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art\, Nature and Dance) is a dance research organization that investigates the power of dance\, in collaboration with other fields\, to illuminate our kinetic understanding of the world. iLAND is a pioneering organization at the forefront of collaborative art and environmental projects\, promoting dialogue and integration between disciplines in creative processes\, research\, and project development. iLAND believes that the results of such reciprocal research are informed and enriched by the different approaches of artists and scientists. Art and environmental projects are uniquely positioned to address the complicated challenges posed by climate change and the many issues surrounding the use of natural resources. iLAND’s programs support the development of sustainable cultural practices\, and stimulate and encourage creative and dynamic interactions with the environment. Since 2006\, the iLAB residency program has created opportunities for movement-based artists\, scientists\, environmentalists\, architects\, and others to develop creative collaborative processes that engage ecologies in a range of sites in and around New York City.

SUMMARY:Rewilding Stuyvesant Cove Park
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Frank will be presenting a performance based on rewilding\, an environmental practice that seeks to reestablish the landscape’s former ecosystems and increase sustainability by reintroducing species to areas in which they had formerly thrived but have since gone extinct. She uses video\, sculpture\, and performance to explore themes combining the theatrical\, man’s relationship to the natural world\, and loss. More information can be found at: http://www.rachelfrank.com. \nPerforming in Stuyvesant Cove\, a park established on land that was once an abandoned industrial site\, this performance is part of a larger project\, which uses the concept of rewilding to explore how we think about the landscape around us—its past\, present and sustainability into the future. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Day of Planting and "Bronx Music Garden"
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\n\n\n\n11:00 am to 2:00 pm – Kick Off Event and Tree Planting (Fruit Tree Planting Foundation\, DeWitt Clinton High School Sustainability\, vitafusionTM\, actress Jennie Garth)\n2:00 pm to 3:00 pm – Tree Care Workshop (Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and NYC Compost Project)\n3:00 pm to 4:00 pm – Meeting with Principal Pierre Orbe (Community and Project Partners)\n3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – Bronx Music Garden with DJ Omar Morsy and guest performers as well as ongoing Sustainability\, Art and Garden Projects – lots to get involved with!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\nThere’s a full day happening at the new community garden at DeWitt Clinton High School on June 6. The makers of vitafusionTM\, the #1 adult gummy vitamin brand\, has joined forces with the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (FTPF) to officially launch the “Fruit Tree Project” at our school and have donated to us 35 fruit trees to start an orchard! We are inviting you to lend a hand\, dig\, move compost\, learn how to plant and take care of trees and support our efforts to further transform our environment and feeds our community healthy fresh food. \nWe will gather at 11:00 am with actress Jennie Garth to kick off the day and will get to learn more about this project as well as The Baldwin Learning Center and Trail Project\, a reimagination of urban public space on the DeWitt Clinton High School campus and the surrounding neighborhood of Norwood in the North Bronx. Tree Care Workshop by Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and NYC Compost Project will follow planting event. \nDJ Omar Morsy combines his love for gardening and music for this first ever Bronx Music Garden event. With our majestic new community garden as a backdrop\, the rhythms will pulse our Bronx students and neighbors as we plant\, play and groove to DJ sets with an earth beat in mind and live performances by Never Yet Contested and Ane. If you’ve been lucky enough to attend any number of our events over the last few years you will have already delighted in the delicious garden to table offerings of Executive Chef Noah Sheetz. With as many sustainability students as we can muster\, we’ll show you what we do: gardening\, community art making\, sustainability exhibits\, games and prizes. A unique and groundbreaking event with fun for all ages! \nThe Baldwin Learning Center and Trail Project is centered on the Dewitt Clinton High School campus and the surrounding neighborhood of Norwood in the North Bronx. This neighborhood has one of the highest percentages of green space to population in New York City\, but this wealth of public space remains inaccessible to the community. A century of poor urban planning has divided the neighborhood with highways\, elevated train lines\, and multi-block building towers. The neighborhood lacks well designed pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure\, making many intersections dangerous or difficult to navigate. This project seeks to reframe the school grounds as a next great public space and an entry point for an accessible urban trail system to connect underutilized areas of the Bronx. \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Holoscenes
DESCRIPTION:[vimeo 110664139 w=640 h=360] \nHOLOSCENES / Bed / 2014 / 90 seconds from Lars Jan on Vimeo. \nPresented with the World Science Festival as part of its 10th anniversary season and produced by MAPP International Productions. A visceral and visual performative collision of the human body and water\, born of the concern that as global sea levels rise\, flooding and drought will become the central issues of the 21st century. \nHOLOSCENES is a suite of multi-format artworks that manifest states of drowning — both in water and the larger systems of our own devising — in order to directly connect the short-term\, everyday behaviors of individuals to the long-term patterns driving global climate change. Holoscenes re-imagines historical antecedents of public spectacle and gathering\, and simultaneously translates related streams of scientific investigation into a visual\, visceral\, and public address in urban communal space that challenges our personal and collective capacities for long-term thinking and empathy.
