This dynamic collection of works spanning various mediums, styles, and themes offers a glimpse into the artist's unique perspective and cultural background.

2024-07-13 18:00 - 21:00 | Culture Lab LIC, 5-25 46th Avenue, Long Island City, New York, NY, 11101, United States
OPENING RECEPTION – DATE CHANGE: We've received word that artwork from Slovakian artists for our exhibition, The Search for Utopia, is stuck in customs! Due to this unexpected delay, the exhibition's opening reception has been moved from Thursday, July 11 to Saturday, July 13, 6-9pm.
We will still be offering the same wonderful experience we always do with bites and refreshments, this time alongside our LIVE! outdoor music.
Be sure to arrive early at 3PM for an ARTISTS TALK in our theater and a chance to meet and chat with the artists from the exhibition! The opening reception will follow.
The Search for Utopia explores the contemporary definition of 'Utopia' – is it a future to aspire towards, yet to be discovered, or a nostalgic quest for something lost? This art exhibition transcends borders, uniting the creative voices of Slovakian and American artists. Showcasing a diverse collection of dynamic works across various mediums, it offers viewers a profound insight into each artist's unique perspective and cultural heritage. Featuring contributions from four Slovakian artists and four American artists, each piece acts as a catalyst for introspection, encouraging viewers to reconsider the concept of utopia in our increasingly interconnected and diverse world.
Curated by Tess Howsam and Soňa Jakubove , the exhibition reflects an international collaboration between arts and cultural institutions, Culture Lab LIC and Malý Berlín .

John Ford's The Searchers in 70mm
2024-07-18 18:30 - 2024-07-21 17:30
To kick off it's annual summer 70mm film festival, Museum of the Moving Image presents John Ford's enduring 1956 masterpiece "The Searchers." The film will be showing 7 times from July 18–July 21.
Dir. John Ford. 1956, 119 mins. U.S. New 70mm print from a restoration by Warner Bros in collaboration with The Film Foundation. With John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Ward Bond, Natalie Wood. Martin Scorsese has claimed that he watches this film, arguably western master Ford’s greatest achievement, every year, and with good reason. Its epic story sweeps from the American Southwest to the Canadian border as it tracks Wayne’s increasingly unhinged quest for his beloved niece, kidnapped by Chief Scar in a raid years before. Wayne’s Ethan Edwards is as neurotically obsessed as DeNiro’s Travis Bickle. Thanks to this staggering new restoration, screening here in a newly struck 70mm print, scanned from the original 35mm VistaVision camera negative and approved by The Film Foundation, making its East Coast big-screen debut, The Searchers has never looked more richly beautiful.
Tickets: $20 ($15 for MoMI members).

QED Spotlight: Matt Storrs and Tristan Miller
2024-07-18 19:30 - 21:30
QED Astoria is spotlighting two brilliant comedians, Matt Storrs and Tristan Miller, in July! Venture to QED on Thursday, July 18th at 7:30pm and be transported to prehistoric lands and the Upper Midwest as the two comedians present solo shows in a comedy double-feature!
ABOUT THE TWO SHOWS
Jurassic Heartbreak
By Matt Storrs
Matt Storrs has never loved anything more than his first love: dinosaurs. After romantic rejection in elementary school, Matt copes by starting a movement to advocate for his favorite dinosaur and get the governor of Arizona recalled.
Years later, after another failed romantic connection, a trip to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show puts Matt face to face with the illegal fossil trade. Matt unearths new knowledge that makes him question his first love.
Will newfound knowledge allow him to forgive and find lasting love? You won’t have to wait 65 million years to find out.

Least Likely to Succeed: Tales from a Midwestern Homeschooler
By Tristan Miller

ABOUT THE TWO COMEDIANS
Matt Storrs
Matt Storrs (Edinburgh Fringe Festival and SF Sketchfest) is a comedian and storyteller based out of NYC and originally from Phoenix, AZ. Matt created and performed two one-person shows “Portly Lutheran Know-It-All” about his time attending a religious middle school and “Jurassic Heartbreak” about his lifelong love of dinosaurs.

Tristan Miller
