SUMMARY:Patterns of Interest: Photography by Stephen Mallon
DESCRIPTION:The Kimmel Galleries of New York University are pleased to present Patterns of Interest: Photography by Stephen Mallon\, Included in this exhibit are 20 photographic works by artist Stephen Mallon\, whose work bridges the gap between fine art and photojournalism. Patterns of Interest is on view through March 16\, 2015\, with the opening reception on February 6\, from 6-8pm. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. For more info\, please see the Facebook page. \nKimmel Galleries are located at the Kimmel Center for University Life\, 60 Washington Square South\, 8th Floor. [Subways A\,C\,E\, B\,D\,M to West 4th Street; 6 line to Astor Place; R train to 8th Street.]. For all press and sales inquiries\, please contact Ms. Pamela Jean Tinnen\, curator for the Kimmel Galleries: Pam.Tinnen@nyu.edu or 212.998.4950\, 347.634.2938. \nThroughout his career\, he has covered a variety of different photojournalistic projects with a keen\, and artistic eye. From Salvage of Flight\, a series of photographs documenting the salvaging of the US Air flight that airline captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger managed to safely emergency¬ land in the Hudson River on January 15\, 2009\, to most notably\, Next Stop the Atlantic\, wherein he photographed the use of deaccessioned subway cars being repurposed as coral reefs\, Mallon has pushed the boundaries of documentary photograph both in subject\, composition and execution. \nIn Patterns of Interest\, the works are further re-contextualized; intentionally taken out of their respective\, larger bodies of work\, in order to subvert context and allow the viewer to concentrate and meditate on the individual compositions expressed and the patterns illustrated in the plastic\, concrete and steel. \nAbout Stephen Mallon: \nIn 2009\, Mallon made a big splash with “Brace for Impact: The Salvage of Flight 1549\,” The images Mallon produced during his two¬ week effort with Weeks Marine have been in exhibitions in New York\, Miami\, St. Louis\, and Philadelphia and featured on television such as MSNBC\, NBC\, New York Magazine\, Vanity Fair\, and CBS News. In 2010 Stephen’s following solo exhibition “Next Stop Atlantic” was received with great praise from the likes of The New York Times\, National Public Radio\, GQ\, The Atlantic\, and Fast Company. This body of work has been shown at the Look 3 photo festival in Charlottesville\, Miami\, St. Louis\, and Rome. Mallon’s short film\, “A Bridge Delivered\,” about the transportation and installation of the new Willis Avenue Bridge was created from over 30\,000 still images. Mallon’s photos have been honored by Communication Arts\, Photo District News\, The New York Photo Festival\, the Lucie Awards\, International Color Awards\, and Photo Lucida’s Critical Mass top 50. He is also a leader in the photo community. Since 2002\, he has been a board member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers and served as president from 2006 to 2009. \nAbout the Kimmel Galleries: Established in 2003\, Kimmel Galleries are dedicated to providing visually dynamic and thought provoking exhibitions.

SUMMARY:Remembering Yesterday: Queens and Its World's Fairs
DESCRIPTION:Remembering is both a collective and a personal activity.  In this exhibition\, both are on display in relation to two World’s Fairs that took place in Flushing\, Queens in 1939/40 and 1964/65.  Within this exhibition\, collective memory is represented by shared experiences of the Fairs and personal memory by the memorabilia drawn from the collections of people who attended and fondly recall the Fairs.  While these Fairs were global in scope\, their attendees were overwhelmingly local\, many residing in Queens.  All items on display in the exhibition have either been donated or loaned to the Queens Historical Society by those residents of Queens who attended the Fairs. \nOpen Tuesdays\, Saturdays and Sundays\, 2:30 – 4:30 pm.  Through May 31\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Deconstructing the High Line: A Public Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The High Line\, an innovative promenade created on a disused elevated railway in Manhattan\, is widely recognised as among the most iconic urban landmarks of the 21st century. It has stimulated public interest in landscape design while simultaneously re-integrating an industrial relic into the everyday life of New York City. Since its opening in 2009\, this unique greenway has exceeded expectations in terms of attracting visitors\, investment\, and property development to Manhattan’s West Side\, and is widely celebrated as a monument to community-led activism\, adaptive re-use of urban infrastructure\, and innovative ecological design. It has also inspired a worldwide proliferation of similar proposals seeking to capitalise on the repurposing of disused urban infrastructure for postindustrial revitalisation. \nProviding a much-needed critical perspective\, this interdisciplinary symposium will interrogate the High Line’s relation to public space\, creative practice\, neoliberal urban renewal\, urban political ecology\, and policy-led gentrification. The event brings together scholars from urban studies\, geography\, cultural analysis\, art and architecture\, and is co-sponsored by the Milano School of International Affairs at The New School\, the Department of Urban Studies at Queens College-CUNY and the Amsterdam Center for Globalisation Studies. \n\nThe program will end with a reception and short presentation to mark the publication of Christoph Lindner’s Imagining New York City: Literature\, Urbanism and the Visual Arts (Oxford University Press\, 2015). \nThis event is organised by Joseph Heathcott (The New School)\, Christoph Lindner (University of Amsterdam) and Brian Rosa (Queens College-CUNY). \nFor inquiries\, contact Christoph Lindner (E: c.p.lindner@uva.nl). \n\nPublished by Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies \nPhoto credit by Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies

SUMMARY:Hearing on Proposal For Swimmable New York City Waters
DESCRIPTION:Your voice is needed to call for swimmable (and paddle-able) water in NYC! \nThe NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation has proposed to improve the quality of waterbodies in NYC by amending standards for Class I and SD waters. Those waters – including the Hudson River (south of the Bronx)\, Harlem River\, Bronx River (tidal portion)\, East River\, Flushing Bay\, Newtown Creek\, Gowanus Canal\, Jamaica Bay tributaries\, Kill van Kull\, and Arthur Kill – are currently protected only for fishing and/or “secondary contact” recreation that involves incidental contact with the water. \nHelp call for a higher goal by explicitly including “primary contact recreation” as an officially designated use for these waters.

How are sites placed on the National Priorities List? Who is a responsible party? What does clean-up entail and how does it involve communities? We will cover all these questions and more in this introduction\, spotlighting Superfund in your neighborhood. This class will focus on citizen participation in the Superfund process and conclude with a discussion of current and future sites in the five boroughs. \nPlease register here: http://brooklynbrainery.com/courses/superfund-a-citizen-s-guide \nTaught by Inna Guzenfeld \nInna Guzenfeld is a planner and urban historian trained at Pratt Institute.

SUMMARY:Planning in Silence: The Challenge of Hybrid Water Provision
DESCRIPTION:Examining the institutional structure of water supply in several African cities\, this talk looks at urban water reform from the perspective of users. In many places\, a large proportion of urban households have exited or have never been connected to a networked supply\, instead relying on a large array of formal\, informal\, state and non-state sources. At the same time\, the lack of adequate and safe water for basic needs and livelihoods negatively impacts poverty reduction and well-being. In such scenarios\, how can the needs and demands of all residents be equitably factored into planned urban development if their voices are missing or excluded from the planning process? \nCharisma Acey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nText credit GSAPP; image credit United Nations University

SUMMARY:Edge Sustainability: The Future of Architecture in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:Edge Sustainability: The Future of Architecture in a Changing Climate” will focus on the ways in which the practice and teaching of architecture will undergo a paradigm shift to properly respond to the changing climate and the ambitious local 80×50 goals set by Mayor De Blasio to mitigate it. Four themes will be addressed: Education\, Mandates & Policy\, Branding & Visioning\, and Owner Interests. \nThis event was preceded by a roundtable discussion with top leaders in Sustainability. This is the second in a series of events related to the presidential theme of Tomas Rossant\, AIA\, “Dialogues from the Edge of Practice.” The theme intends to explore how architects are boldly enlarging the purview of the practitioner to bring their particular critical problem solving skills and design acumen to endeavors previously considered outside the traditional scope of practice. \nSpeakers:\nDavid Bomke\, Assistant Vice President of Operations\, The Fulcrum Group; Vice President\, New York Energy Consumers Council\, Inc.\nWilliam Braham\, FAIA\, Director of Masters of Environmental Building and Design\, University of Pennsylvania\nLance Hosey\, FAIA\, LEED AP\, Chief Sustainability Officer\, RTKL\nNilda Mesa\, Director\, NYC Mayor’s Office of Sustainability \nModerator:\nTomas Rossant\, AIA\, 2015 AIANY President \nPrice: Free for AIA members\, Urban Green Council members\, and students; $10 for non-members. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Public Space: Opportunities and challenges for Empowering Women
DESCRIPTION:photo credit: The European Business Review \nThe side event will be considered part of the review of the Beijing Platform for Action and the process build-up to the Habitat III Conference in 2016. It will provide an opportunity to learn from the opportunities and challenges that public space offer to women’s empowerment and to advance the gender equality goal. It will also aim to discuss how gender mainstreaming of urban planning and policy can help create public spaces for women that empower them to live fulfilling and wholesome lives. While access to public spaces in cities is highly contested for due to pressures from rapid urbanization and large-scale migration\, creating public spaces that cater to women’s needs and skills can give them an oft-missing space of their own to set up a business\, network and interact with other members of the community to exchange ideas and information. It is important to include the voices of women and girls\, especially living in poor urban areas and coming from marginalized communities\, in all the processes of decision-making such as research\, consultation\, policy-making etc. By doing this\, public spaces can bring about greater social cohesion\, develop stronger community networks and give women a voice and enhance and make more visible women’s agency. The development of safer public spaces also contributes to safer cities for women\, so they can live without fear of gender-based harassment or victimization\, and can instead contribute more fully and freely to developing gender-balanced policy decisions for the future of cities. \nFollow at http://webtv.un.org/ \nEvent is free\, please register here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/public-space-opportunities-and-challenges-for-empowering-women-tickets-15813269916?aff=erellivorg
