SUMMARY:Artist & Curator Conversation | Emma McCormick Goodhart & Jordan Carter
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Emma McCormick Goodhart in conversation with curator Jordan Carter to close out “sottobosco (climate remix)\,” which unfolds as an olfactive and haptic experience in darkness and a durational installation that will fill SculptureCenter’s lower level with ozonic mists from Thu-Sun\, Dec 11 to 14. They will address and extrapolate from the project’s central themes\, such as “remote sensing” across millennia and tuning to the ecologies of sensation of prehuman lifeworlds. \nTo attend\, please RSVP here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJhlE2vZgHsRt_SeuUYGTxZAzKGaOvLpwu-8B36Cu4vtIm-g/viewform\n____ \nLaunching on this occasion is CAVE 0\, Emma McCormick Goodhart’s first artist scent edition\, which translates her research into archaeoacoustics\, artificial caves\, and “synthetic material fictions.” The scent emerges out of “ecopoetics of touch and timescale\,” originally created from macerations of moonmilks\, cave dirts\, cicada nymph skins\, and other rare earth samples to render contact with prehuman lifeworlds. The installation will also feature a multichannel sonic intervention during the launch’s evening\, tied to “earamphore” (2022)\, a vibrotactile sound piece created with Jessika Kenney that originally was commissioned for Nottingham Contemporary’s “Hollow Earth” exhibition in 2022. \nThe limited edition CAVE 0 perfume\, launched by McCormick Goodhart’s studio\, ecdysis\, and hand-numbered on mineral-hue silver paper\, will be available for purchase from the SculptureCenter store. \n____ \nEmma McCormick Goodhart [EMG] is an artist\, writer\, researcher\, and dramaturge who experiments across media\, timescales\, and modes of practice. Interested in fathoming deep-time developments of sensing\, especially in sound and scent\, alongside technosensory futures\, she stages soft architectures\, social ecologies\, and climate fictions that attempt to retune the spaces that host them. Presentations include Bangkok Kunsthalle\, Bergen Assembly\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt\, Július Koller Society\, Kunsthalle Zürich\, Le Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris\, Nottingham Contemporary\, Pioneer Works\, Storefront for Art & Architecture\, The Glucksman\, and the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. Her writings have been published by e-flux\, Flash Art\, Frieze\, Kunsthaus Zürich (in German Braille)\, Open Humanities Press\, Spector Books\, Sternberg Press\, and Vestoj\, and shared with Adidas’ FUTURE Lab and MIT’s School of Humanities. An Affiliate Artist at the Rose Choreographic School in London\, she is among the commissioned artists for Counterpublic 2026. \nJordan Carter joined Dia Art Foundation as curator and co-head of the curatorial department in 2021. At Dia\, he has curated exhibitions including Renée Green: The Equator Has Moved (2025)\, Amy Sillman: Alternate Side (Permutations #1–32) (2025)\, Keith Sonnier (2024)\, Lucas Samaras (2024)\, Mary Heilmann: Starry Night (2024)\, stanley brouwn (2023)\, Tony Cokes (2023)\, and Jo Baer (2022)\, among others. He also curated the exhibition Cameron Rowland: Properties (2024) following the 2023 announcement of Dia’s stewardship of the artist’s Depreciation (2018) as one of its twelve sites and locations. His forthcoming projects include presentations of the work of Agnes Martin and Howardena Pindell and major new commissions by D Harding\, Fujiko Nakaya\, and Haegue Yang. He oversees Dia’s permanent collection and works closely on the preservation of and programming around its permanent installations\, including Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty (1970) and Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels (1973-76)\, both located in Utah. He is part of the curatorial ensemble for the 2026 edition of the Counterpublic art triennial in St. Louis.

SUMMARY:Autumn Knight - NOTHING: more
DESCRIPTION:Performances will take place at The Chocolate Factory Theater\, 38-33 24th Street\, Long Island City. \nCo-Presented with Under The Radar Festival. \nNOTHING: more is an anti-still life\, a composition of objects and bodies constantly in flux. In this performance artist Autumn Knight experiments with the porous boundary between parts and whole\, object and body\, configuration and abstraction. Throughout its duration\, three performers move objects of varying size and texture into momentary compositions; while one performer constructs an image\, another comes to disrupt\, reinterpret and at times conglomerate with their body and/or more objects. The performance itself resists identification\, narration and legibility\, instead Knight starts from nothing and never veers too far from it. This is a process of making the self\, a constant state of renewal that takes our parts to create and reconfigure out of necessity. And there is always more; more to be done\, rehearsed and assumed\, creating both more and nothing at the same time. \nCreator: Autumn Knight. Made in Collaboration With: Kaylah Farrish\, Dominica Greene\, Jasmine Hearn. Producer: nick von kleist. Lighting Design: Tuce Yasak. Object Design: Matt Shalzi.

SUMMARY:Take Root: Miho Ryu | Nicole Kadar-Greene/NK&D/a movement company
DESCRIPTION:Take Root: Miho Ryu | Nicole Kadar-Greene/NK&D/a movement company \nJanuary 23rd & 24th at 8:00 PM \nGreen Space\n37-24 24th Street Suite 211\nLong Island City\, NY 11101\n$22 in advance\n$25 cash or $27 card at the door \nMiho Ryu | Lighthouse\nLighthouse is a delicate yet powerful piece where intricate choreography and raw improvisation interweave and resonate from the living bodies of dancers. Inspired by the symbol of a lighthouse—illuminating vast oceans and guiding vessels to safety—this work contemplates the light that dancers can offer to the world and seeks to approach the deeper truth of what it means to live. Originally from Tokyo\, Miho Ryu has been based in New York since 2024\, and is active as a dancer\, choreographer\, and teaching artist. \nNicole Kadar-Greene/NK&D/a movement company | between the balance\nbetween the balance discusses the fragile equilibrium of the human self in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The story is told through rhetorical and sometimes literal dialogue between dancers\, composer (William Catanzaro)\, and audience communicating opposing ideas of balance/instability\, weakness/strength\, and wellness/illness. As the piece develops the dancers offer moments of hope and strength despite shifting imbalance/equilibrium within the world and in one’s self. The original work (October 2021 premiere\, 55 minutes in length) was created for two audiences – a virtual\, zoom audience and a live\, in-person audience and utilized the same technological ideas seen in this version.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | "Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure" and "In Practice: Ana Gzirishvili"
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thu\, Jan 29\, 6-8pm for an opening reception celebrating “Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure” and “In Practice: Ana Gzirishvili.” \n_______ \nPat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure\nOn view Jan 29–Apr 27\, 2026 \nSculptureCenter presents the first solo exhibition in a New York City institution in over 35 years of Pat Oleszko. Rooted in humor\, sharp social commentary\, and defiance of all forms of authority\, Oleszko’s practice has often taken the form of sculptures which lend themselves to raucous performances that use linguistic wit to address various concerns\, including accessible housing\, women’s issues\, and world politics. As her work developed from the 1970s on\, Oleszko devised two strategies: using her body\, which led to costumes\, and using air\, which produced large inflatable works. In both cases\, her art “walked out the door\,” in her words\, and she began “using all the world as a stooge.” For performances and events\, Oleszko continues to create a universe of characters\, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to worldbuilding and to “wearing her work\,” from dressing up as different characters for a waitressing job in her early days in New York to presenting at the Winter Olympics and appearing in movies\, festivals\, and theaters worldwide. \nSpanning both floors of SculptureCenter\, this survey exhibition is constructed around Oleszko’s singular inflatables\, which first appeared in the 1980s\, and brings together dozens of these airy\, monumental works for the first time. From “Yupasaurus” (1980)\, a dinosaur that satirizes developers aggressively buying up land in New York\, to “Quit Draggin’” (2012)\, a towering dragon that bemoans a slow response to the climate crisis\, they offer a rare glimpse into this vital aspect of her work. The exhibition also includes other key works from her decades-long career\, such as costumes\, sculptural chapeaux\, films\, performance documentation\, and archival material from the 1970s to the present.\n_______ \nIn Practice: Ana Gzirishvili\nOn view Jan 29–Apr 27\, 2026 \nAna Gzirishvili’s practice spans poetry\, film\, sculpture\, and installation\, exploring the liminal spaces between beings\, objects\, and material and immaterial realms. Her works engage with themes of transitionality\, circulation\, and displacement\, often through disassembling and reassembling contexts and forms. For In Practice\, she will create a new group of leather sculptures sourced from aged furniture\, reshaped into still life arrangements inspired by various architectural contexts that explore the scars and traces left by objects and spaces.

SUMMARY:The Stories Behind Their Names: Queens Women in Action at Culture Lab LIC
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, February 5\, 6 – 9pm \nOn view: February 6 – March 29 during gallery hours: Thursday & Friday\, 5-9pm\, and Saturday & Sunday\, 2-9pm \nFree Admission. Donations Welcome \n​The Stories Behind Their Names: Queens Women in Action is a community-centered public history exhibition honoring women whose names are woven into our public landscape and whose stories are integral to the making of Queens. Presented during Women’s History Month by the Queens Memory Project in partnership with Urban Archive\, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how history lives in our neighborhoods – on the streets\, schools\, parks\, and buildings we pass every day\, often without knowing the stories they hold. \n​Drawing from the Queens Name Explorer project\, this exhibition honors the democratic power of participatory archiving by including photographs shared by families\, oral histories recorded with neighbors\, and records shared across generations. These materials reflect a collaborative approach to history-making\, where community members are not just subjects of history\, but active stewards of it. \nFrom Long Island City to Jamaica to the northeastern corner of Queens\, the exhibition highlights a diverse group of women whose contributions reshaped neighborhoods and paved the way for a more sustainable future. The women featured here are educators\, activists\, journalists\, public servants\, artists\, and community advocates\, many of them breaking barriers in race\, gender\, class\, and language to create systems of change central to thriving communities. \nThese women’s names mark more than the places they occupy. They tell stories of collective action and sustained efforts\, stories that continue to resonate today. By uncovering the stories behind their names\, we invite visitors to consider how public memory is constructed\, and whose contributions are celebrated. \n​Curated by the Queens Memory Project team: Meral Agish\, Dacia Metes\, Aimai Reporter\, and J. Faye Yuan. \nThank you to Queens Public Library’s Archives and Marketing & Communications Department and John Paul Chirdon. \nhttps://www.culturelablic.org/#queens-women-in-action
