Skimming The Surface: FREE Movement Healing Workshop
2024-09-10 19:00 - 21:00 | New York
Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops aim to service adult and youth populations that may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic based expressive movement exercises. These workshops will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in one’s life by integrating movement, feelings, and emotions.
The 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 feeing expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward from.
Each movement journey is handcrafted to best support the participants. Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.
This workshop will be held at Green Space and is FREE of Charge.

SculptureCenter Opening Reception
2024-09-18 18:00 - 20:00 | SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York, 11101
Join us for an opening reception celebrating Álvaro Urbano: TABLEAU VIVANT and In Practice: Bastien Gachet.
Álvaro Urbano: TABLEAU VIVANT
Álvaro Urbano has been engaged in conversation and collaboration with various entities across different times and places, including artists, writers, and architects; plants and animals; buildings, ruins and other human and other-than-human beings. For his project at SculptureCenter, Urbano focuses on a potential ruin, or a ruin in progress – a public artwork by the American sculptor Scott Burton (1939–1989) that was rescued from destruction and now faces an uncertain future. The work was originally installed in the lobby of the Equitable Center building in midtown Manhattan in 1986 until it was dismantled in 2020, victim to a renovation.
The work, titled Atrium Furnishment was one of many works for public or semi-public space that Burton – a sculptor, performance artist, and writer critical to New York scenes in the 1970s and ’80s – realized throughout his life before he died of HIV-related illness in 1989. Though elements of related exterior works for Equitable Center remain in place, roughly half of his site-specific projects have been removed or modified since initially completed.
At SculptureCenter, Urbano will display roughly half of the original elements of Burton’s Atrium Furnishment. Referencing the work’s original orientation, Urbano’s new disposition will radiate across SculptureCenter’s ground floor space, altering the entire gallery and producing a topographic landscape. Burton’s public art projects always appeared as chimeras that mixed aspects of sculpture and furniture. By re-segmenting and re-organizing the work’s elements across a new site, Urbano directs attention towards Burton’s chosen materials and other inner physical dynamics and histories embedded in the artwork.
In Practice: Bastien Gachet
Bastien Gachet’s work uses new approaches to fabrication and installation to draw out the immanent, emergent, and durational qualities of art. Gachet meticulously hand-produces objects and installation elements across media, subtly elaborating on and bending parallel categories that have been used consistently, if inadequately, to define recent art: the “pre-intentional” and intentional; the found and the made; the real and the fake, expanding into notions of the “fake-real” and the “fake-fake” (in the artist’s terminology). In his forthcoming exhibition at SculptureCenter, Gachet collects and organizes these contrasting modes into what he has called an “object-based dramaturgy,” a structure of meaning opening itself across unsettlingly constructed and resonant environments.

Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?
2024-09-19 17:00 - 20:00 | New York
Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?
Curated by Ellen Hackl Fagan, Founder and Director, ODETTA Gallery
Conversations between artists have always been a healthy antithesis to the pervasive myth that art is made in a solitary environment. In New York City, these conversations are promoted in robust arts communities that telegraph ultimately throughout a global art world.
In 1966 Barnett Newman began a series of monumental paintings titled “Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?” In his response to Ab Ex painting, he chose to strip painting of any need for narrative, and instead, allowed color to be the sole subject of these works. The ginormous scale of this series drove the point home further, enveloping the viewer in Red, Yellow, and Blue, one by one. This step into Minimalist Abstraction was so radical that it caused several very public assaults against these works over the latter half of the 20th century. In addition to infuriating some, it inspired many other artists. His works propelled Conceptualism into becoming the next wave of contemporary art, lasting and influencing generations of artists. The most sublime response to the question “ Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?,” for this curator, was Robert Irwin's piece, “Whose Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?”, created in 2006, shown at Pace Gallery in Chelsea. Irwin surrounded us in ever larger panels of reflective red, yellow, and blue, and installed them on the floor and suspended them from the ceiling, offering the viewer an immersive experience in both primary colors and the full color spectrum due to the reflective nature of the panels.
The question is, are you afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue? Whether you stay clear of these colors in your artwork or whether you embrace them, for this exhibition we'd love a variety of fearless approaches (all mediums welcome) to this challenge, thus continuing the advancement of a new century of contemporary art.

Take Root Presents: Benjamin Briones Ballet | Alison Cook Beatty Dance
2024-09-20 20:00 - 2024-09-21 22:00 | New York
September 20th & 21st at 8pmAdvance sale tickets: $20 online
Tickets purchased at door: $25 cash or card
About the works:
Benjamin Briones Ballet
Love is patient, love is kind, but more specifically it is all-encompassing. Benjamin Briones Ballet recognizes the significance of Empathy in truly fathoming and experiencing Love. Where Love is home base, Empathy is akin to the designated driver that gets us there in one piece when emotions swirl high, overcomplicating the beauty and ease that Love is supposed to be. Empathy is the North Star that guides us back home where Love faithfully resides. Benjamin Briones Ballet presents “Love and Empathy”, inviting the audience in for a warm embrace that knows no bounds – where Love is on display in its powerful, graceful and resilient glory.
Alison Cook-Beatty Dance
JOYFUL OFFERING is set to Bach's three-part movement Oboe Concerto. This group piece was choreographed by Alison Cook-Beatty, the Artistic Director, over the course of two years and is an offering of the joy of dance and music to all.
ECHOES OF WAR, choreographed by Ms. Cook-Beatty in 2022 when the Ukraine War began. Alison chose the music of “Different Trains: After The War” by Steve Reich, Kronos Quartet (Section 3), and was inspired by the people of Ukraine in the early weeks of the onset of that war.
