SUMMARY:Brown Bag Series: The Henry George Theorem with Uncertainty and Lump Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Urbanization Project at NYU Stern presents the “Brown Bag Discussion Series.” \nThis week’s discussion is titled The Henry George Theorem with Uncertainty and Lump Infrastructure\, featuring Paul Romer\, of the NYU Stern Economics and Urbanization Project. \nPaul Romer is Professor of Economics at New York University’s Stern School of Business and Director of its Urbanization Project. The Urbanization Project addresses a truly historic challenge and opportunity: welcoming an additional 3 – 5 billion people to urban life in less than a century. The Project’s first initiative helps existing cities plan for expansion. Its second initiative fosters the creation of entirely new cities because history shows that a new city offers a uniquely important opportunity to implement systemic social reform and speed up progress. \nPrior to joining Stern\, Romer taught at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business\, where he took an entrepreneurial detour to start Aplia\, an education technology company dedicated to increasing student effort and engagement. Romer is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2002\, he received the Recktenwald Prize for his work on the role of ideas in sustaining economic growth. \nAll Brown Bag Discussions are held at NYU’s Kaufman Management Center in room 7-191. \n

SUMMARY:MoMA PS1 and Triple Canopy launch 50 days of speculation about the future\, May 12- July 28th
DESCRIPTION:Triple Canopy is pleased to announce Speculations (“The future is ______”)\, fifty days of lectures\, discussions\, and debates about the future\, as part of EXPO 1: New York at MoMA PS1. Speculations will take place from May 12 to July 28\, in a structure created by artist José León Cerrillo and in an installation designed by artist Adrián Villar Rojas. \nWe know all the ways the world will end. And yet\, we continue. Our action in the present implies an optimism about the future\, even if that optimism is skeptical\, worried\, or dark. For Speculations (“The future is ______”)\, Triple Canopy is inviting writers\, artists\, scientists\, activists\, economists\, and technologists to bet on futures they want to see realized and to describe them as clearly as possible\, while considering what demands these futures make on the present. The speculations will take the form of daily lectures and debates in Villar Rojas’s installation and discussions within the structure created by Cerrillo. \nAll Speculations participants will be filling out a standard questionnaire about their future and its demands on the present\, for eventual publication. The public is also invited to speculate on the future and reconsider the present by answering the questionnaire\, which will be available all summer at MoMA PS1. \nParticipants include Laurie Anderson\, Arjun Appadurai\, Jacob Appelbaum\, David Auerbach\, Ray Brassier\, Ted Chiang\, Jace Clayton\, Adam Cohen\, John Crowley\, Ruth DeFries\, Samuel Delany\, Silvia Federici\, Peter Frase\, Rivka Galchen\, Alex Gourevitch\, David Graeber\, Group Theory\, N. Katherine Hayles\, Myung Mi Kim\, Katie Kitamura\, Josh Kline\, Benjamin Kunkel\, Ajay Kurian\, Rachel Kushner\, Lynn Hershman Leeson\, Marie Lorenz\, Danny Marcus\, Mary Mattingly\, Joseph McElroy\, Maureen McHugh\, Yates McKee\, Mileece\, John Miller\, Naeem Mohaiemen\, Evgeny Morozov\, Ted Nelson\, Trevor Paglen\, Ashwin Parameswaran\, Laura Poitras\, Fatima Al Qadiri\, Srikanth Reddy\, Ben Rivers\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Carne Ross\, Norman Rush\, Saskia Sassen\, Astra Taylor\, Mierle Laderman Ukeles\, Ellen Ullman\, Kathi Weeks\, and Ben Wizner. The full schedule will be announced soon. \nCall for Applications\nSpeculations (“The future is ______”) is a school of sorts\, and its success depends on regular attendance by a dedicated student body\, who will develop their own speculations about the future over the course of a summer’s worth of discussions. Triple Canopy is looking to enlist a group of fifteen to twenty-five students who can prepare for and attend classes on weekends and Monday\, Thursday\, and Friday afternoons. You are invited to apply by completing our questionnaire about your speculative future. Applications are due May 5. Students will be given free admission to MoMA PS1 every day Speculations is in session\, and the opportunity to revise their questionnaires for inclusion in a book compiling the summer’s speculations. Please email speculations@canopycanopycanopy.com with any questions. \nFormat\nMondays\, Thursdays (except July 4)\, and Fridays\nOne speaker will give a two-part presentation\, each part an hour long. The first part\, a seminar\, taking place at 2 p.m.\, will be a discussion of a historical speculation on the future—a short text or other work that the speaker has found generative. The second part\, a talk or lecture\, taking place at 4 p.m.\, will present the speaker’s own speculation on the future\, to be followed by a Q&A. \nSaturdays (through June 22)\, Sundays\, and Thursday\, July 4\nWeekend days and July Fourth will have a wider range of formats: debate\, conversation\, keynote\, performance\, etc. Generally\, sessions will begin at 3 p.m. (times will vary) and last for up to two hours. \nAbout EXPO 1: New York\nEXPO 1: New York is a large-scale exploration of ecological challenges in the context of the economic and sociopolitical instability of the early twenty-first century. Acting in the guise of a festival-as-institution\, EXPO 1: New York reconsiders the museum from the ground up\, presenting a simultaneity of modules\, interventions\, solo projects\, and group exhibitions that encompass all of MoMA PS1 and other locations such as MoMA and Rockaway Beach. EXPO 1: New York is made possible by a partnership with Volkswagen.

SUMMARY:counter/point: The 2013 D-Crit Conference
DESCRIPTION:counter/point: The 2013 D-Crit Conference\, moderated by NPR’s “The Takeaway” host John Hockenberry\, and featuring graduating students of the SVA MFA in Design Criticism\, will take place on Saturday\, May 11\, 2013 at the SVA Theatre in New York City. \nPaola Antonelli\, senior curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art\, will deliver the keynote lecture\, launching an afternoon of rich\, polyphonic exchange between the D-Crit Class of 2013 and a headlining roster of design curators\, practitioners\, theorists\, critics\, educators\, and planners. D-Crit students will be presenting their thesis research in counterpoint with: Walker Arts Center curator of Architecture and Design Andrew Blauvelt; British interaction design firm Dunne & Raby co-founder Fiona Raby; architect and theorist Mark Foster Gage; director of the J. Max Bond Center on Design for the Just City Toni Griffin; and architect and activist Michael Sorkin. \nTopics to be addressed include: the persistence of segregation in today’s built environment; the problems inherent in exhibiting graphic design; the spectacular framing of nature in the urban environment; product design’s social and participatory dimension; and how some emerging architects are using literal representation in new ways. \nThis will be the fourth D-Crit conference organized by\, and featuring\, graduating D-Crit students. Join us for a fast-paced afternoon of heady ideas and practical insight about the subjects and strategies giving shape to design criticism today\, and help us to celebrate a new generation of design critics\, editors\, journalists\, authors\, curators\, researchers\, and educators. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, so sign up today to save your seat.

SUMMARY:IDEAS CITY: Mayoral Panel
DESCRIPTION:This installment of IDEAS CITY is devoted to the exploration of Untapped Capital. The mayors on this panel have interpreted Untapped Capital in their own\, individual ways. For some cities\, Untapped Capital might be neighborhoods; for others\, the arts. Governmental efficiency and green power offer reserves of Untapped Capital\, while “downtown” revitalization and transit expansion may have proven less stable resources. How does a city’s history become Untapped Capital and how deeply is a city’s identity tied to its resilience? The mayors will cite specific examples of their utilization of Untapped Capital from their tenures while also considering the context of their cities within a larger national and international framework.

SUMMARY:IDEAS CITY FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:IDEAS CITY explores the future of cities around the globe with the belief that arts and culture are essential to the vitality of urban centers\, making them better places to live\, work\, and play. Founded by the New Museum in 2011\, IDEAS CITY is a major collaborative initiative between hundreds of arts\, education\, and community organizations. This year’s theme is Untapped Capital\, with participants focused on resources that are under-recognized or underutilized in our cities. \nMake sure to stop by City Atlas’s Booth and choose from a variety of temporary tattoos to show what you love most about sustainable NYC! \nPlan Your Visit Here \nIDEAS CITY is a biennial Festival in New York City of conferences\, workshops\, an innovative StreetFest around the Bowery\, and more than one hundred independent projects and public events that are forums for exchanging ideas\, proposing solutions\, and accelerating creativity. Additional Global Conferences are organized annually in key urban centers around the world to identify urgent issues. \n“As an institution dedicated to new art and new ideas\, the New Museum strongly believes that the cultural community is essential to the vitality of the future city. We also believe that the cultural sphere is still a relatively untapped source of enormously powerful creative capital\, especially in its potential to stimulate economic development and foster greater innovation in other fields. The IDEAS CITY initiative is an unprecedented step in expanding both our institution’s mission and its potential as a community hub\, drawing the creative population together as agents for change.” —Lisa Phillips\, Toby Devan Lewis Director\, New Museum

SUMMARY:Save Coney Island Presents: Siren Screen Series 4
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce the return of the Siren Screen Series!  Thanks to local Coney Island-loving filmmakers\, Screen Series 4 will kick off the season with a bang.  And thanks to the generosity of the Museum of Modern Art\, that bang will sound at their beautiful Celeste Bartos Theater.  Beyond the Coney films\, the screening will offer live performances and a pre-show Coney photography slideshow featuring the work of local photographers. \nDATE: Thursday\, April 25th\nTIME: 7:00-10:00 PM\nPLACE: Celeste Bartos Theater\, at the MOMA\, 4 West 54th Street\, New York\, New York.\nPROGRAM:\nPhotography Slideshow (7:00-7:30)\nScreenings (7:30 – 8:00)\nLive Readings (8:05 – 8:40)\nFeature: The Zipper (zipperfilm.com) (8:45 – 10:00) \nADMISSION: $20 (all proceeds go to Save Coney Island)\n*Tickets must be purchased in advance using the link below* \nSCREENINGS \n\nCyclone Forever – Faiyaz Jafri – 4 mins (experimental\, 2013):\nBambi joins several of Coney Island’s archetypical characters as they travel endlessly on the iconic roller coaster enduring both\, time and tide.\n\nLast Ride…First Ride – Daniel Turkewitz – 10 mins (doc\, 2013):\nBumper Cars. Go-go dancers. And a bitch named Sandy. After one last wild early fall night\, the DJ stops the record and the bumper cars roll to a halt. Will they start up again in the spring?\n\nMission of Mermaids – Susan Rockefeller – 15 mins (doc\, 2012):\nA closer look at the current state of our waters. With the mermaid as our guide\, it’s Mrs. Rockefeller’s hope that we can unite to protect our oceans both to ensure food security for over one billion people who rely on fish for their primary protein and to preserve them as places of regeneration\, beauty and boundless dreams. Mission of Mermaids is the representation of the award winning filmmaker\, activist\, and conservationist’s love for our ocean. Using the archetype of the mermaid\, the film presents a poetic ode to the sea as well as a plea for its protection. Demonstrating her own commitment to environmental and ocean health\, Mrs. Rockefeller put together a low carbon-emission film production that is comprised of “found” footage from YouTube videos\, scanned images\, and archival\, licensed\, or donated footage and music as well as a day and a half of filming on Long Island.\n \n\nThe Zipper – Amy Nicholson – 77 mins (feature doc\, 2012):\nSmall-time ride operator Eddie Miranda proudly runs a carnival contraption called the Zipper in the heart of Coney Island’s gritty amusement district. Eddie and his ride are driven away when the City of New York and an opportunistic real estate mogul lock horns over the future of the “People’s Playground.” A film about greed\, politics\, land use and public policy\, and the battle over an American cultural icon\, Zipper captures a market-driven world where growth often trumps preservation\, and the Zipper may be only the beginning of what is lost. zipperfilm.com\nPHOTOGRAPHY SLIDESHOW\nBruce Handy:\nBruce\, aka Pablo Jones\, aka Jonesy Boy\, is a street photographer\, ninja photographer\, mermaid grokologist  and co-founder of the People’s Playground Paparazzi.  He is married to Vika and spends his free time taking photos of the dual centers of the universe\, Coney Island and Times Square.  He strives to capture characters showing natural emotions.  Jonesy takes this remaining space to thank the Save Coney Island organization and their supporters.  “May you all have sand in your shoes\, forever.” \nDoug Ross: \nDoug is an accomplished commercial photographer with over twenty-five years of professional experience.  His personal work in capturing the people\, performers and places of Coney Island are his passion and ongoing life’s work.  The area is rich in history\, architecture and its residence are the fabric that hold together her boardwalk\, amusements\, water and sand.  Although Doug grew up on Long Island his desire to photograph Coney Island came from his dad’s strong relation with the area.  All of Doug’s Coney Island work is dedicated to his father’s memory. \nDaniel Turkewitz: \nDaniel is an award winning screenwriter and filmmaker who also works with stills.  He’s worked professionally as a set photographer for several films and also film festivals including the Big Apple Film Festival.  His one minute short on the 9/11 memorial lights was featured on NPR.com and Wired.com. \nRobert Bailey & Robbie Bailey:\nRobert and Robbie Bailey are New York based photographers that specialize in environmental portraiture.  Robert received his BFA in Photography from Ohio University.  Robbie studied at the International Center of Photography.  They are both proud members of the Coney Island Polar Bears club. \nKevin Downs:\nKevin is a Fine Art & Documentary photographer and teacher who works to tell the stories of people who are facing life’s joys and struggles in New York City and in the world. \nCharles Denson:\nCharles is a Coney Island native\, director of the Coney Island History Project\, award winning filmmaker and author of Coney Island: Lost and Found. \nAlicia Degener: \nAlicia is a Brooklyn based artist primarily working in pastel while portraying the urban landscape of New York and particularly\, Coney Island.  She has embarked upon an exploration of the inner city by depicting the barriers set before us in our everyday lives often with an ironic sense of humor.  A skewed sense of perspective and bold color often utilizing text are focal points of Alicia’s distinctive artwork.  For the past two years her paintings have been featured as official promo-posters for the Siren Screen Series. \nLIVE READINGS\nMichael Schwartz:\nLeave all your loose valuables in the lobby\, because Coney Island native Michael Schwartz is about to take you for a harrowing ride in the front car on The Cyclone\, as he performs his beloved humorous short story “Hey Gerry!” about a boy’s coming of age in 1970s Coney Island.  “Hey Gerry!” has been performed in venues across the city\, and will be published in May in the anthology book\, Have A NYC 2: New York Short Stories.\n\nRichard Eagan:\nArtist and performer Richard Eagan\, a founder of the Coney Island Hysterical Society\, reads excerpts from his solo show “Alive on the Inside\,” an account of his years working in Coney Island.  Returning as an artist to the beachfront paradise of his childhood becomes a surreal odyssey of discovery of what lies beneath the surface of memory.
