Long Island City Partnership

Autumn Knight - NOTHING: more
2026-01-16 19:00 - 2026-01-18 20:00 (America/New_York) | The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City, NY, 11101
Performances will take place at The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City.
Co-Presented with Under The Radar Festival.
NOTHING: 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.
Creator: Autumn Knight. Made in Collaboration With: Kaylah Farrish, Dominica Greene, Jasmine Hearn. Producer: nick von kleist. Lighting Design: Tuce Yasak. Object Design: Matt Shalzi.

Miho Ryu | Lighthouse
Lighthouse 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.
Nicole Kadar-Greene/NK&D/a movement company | between the balance
between 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.

Opening Reception | "Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure" and "In Practice: Ana Gzirishvili"
2026-01-29 18:00 - 20:00 | SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York, 11101
Join us on Thu, Jan 29, 6-8pm for an opening reception celebrating “Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure” and “In Practice: Ana Gzirishvili.”
_______
Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure
On view Jan 29–Apr 27, 2026
SculptureCenter 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.
Spanning 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.
_______
In Practice: Ana Gzirishvili
On view Jan 29–Apr 27, 2026
Ana 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.
