SUMMARY:Skimming the Surface: Neuro-inclusive Movement Healing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Green Space & The Steven Spectrum Career Project Present a SKIMMING THE SURFACE: Neuro-Inclusive Movement Healing Workshop for Adults on April 28th at 7:00 PM. \n\nSkimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops aim to service those that may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic based expressive movement exercises. This workshop for neurodivergent adults will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in their life by integrating movement\, feelings\, and emotions. \n\nThe workshop helps participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface in a gentle and compassionate way. When using the language of movement rather than words\, different images or emotions may arise\, which bypass the controlling and censoring mind. This experience leaves participants feeling expanded and curious about their emotions\, with new insights to move forward from. \n\nMore Information Here: https://www.danceentropy.org/…/skimming-the-surface… \n\nSuggested donation for registration is $25.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | "Luana Vitra: Amulets" and "In Practice: Sam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opening reception celebrating “Luana Vitra: Amulets” and “In Practice: Sam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona.”\n\nLuana Vitra: Amulets\nOn View May 1 – Jul 28\, 2025\n\nSculptureCenter is pleased to present the first institutional exhibition in the United States of artist Luana Vitra. Luana Vitra’s practice is deeply intertwined with her home region of Minas Gerais\, Brazil. The mineral-rich state is known for its historical export of gold through forced labour and for its current prominence in the extractive iron mining industry. Through an abstract language that encompasses drawing\, painting\, performance\, sculpture\, and installation\, her work is interested in the metallurgical and transformative charge of minerals and their capacity for metamorphosis\, often creating a dialogue between the natural and industrial manifestations of materials.\n\nFor her SculptureCenter commission\, “Luana Vitra: Amulets\,” Vitra temporarily makes visible the threshold between the physical and spiritual presence of minerals through an energetically directed environment\, presenting minerals as ritual manifestation. They take shape in a new set of sculptures that include tall iron totems wrapped in white fabric and detailed with amarrações: knots that symbolise the act of sealing the gesture of intention at the moment of invoking a spell\, or as a way of enclosing it within. Amulets reinforces Vitra’s dedication to an aesthetic rooted in the spiritual. She invites visitors to look beyond sculptures’ material properties of sculpture and its circulation as commodities within a capitalist economy\, and to envision another dimension to which they belong. The mineral forms she conjures–often emerging first in dreams–become visual prayers\, spiritual manifestation\, or incantations.\n\n\n\nIn Practice: Sam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona\nOn View May 1 – Jun 9\, 2025\n\nSam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona will develop a new video installation and performance for SculptureCenter. Together their work condenses vocal fragments from an omnipresent cloud of popular media\, internet phenomena\, and personal communication into new monologues marked by ambivalent relations between speaker and receiver. Skirting context (and often clear content) in favor of sonic texture\, their texts capture a particular unsettled subjectivity and expressive range in the language of our time\, rapidly driving the tone of address from self-consciously performative\, to callous\, to menacing and manipulative.
