Building a Better World - MLK No School Day Camp
2024-01-15 08:30 - 15:00
MLK had a dream to make the world a better place. In today's camp, we will focus on Building a Better World – through Robotics! Campers are challenged to think critically about the world around them. As students identify problems, they will think creatively about how they can use technology to inspire change. Through a series of games, LEGO mosaics, engineering challenges, and lots of laughs, students will end the day with a new Robotic that aims to make the world a better place. We all have a dream – What's Yours?
Your child will learn the fundamentals of programming while navigating through programming instructions to make their inventions come alive. Students will work in groups to create robotic models that help to better the world. When building without instructions, children are challenged to think creatively both on a large and small scale. As they brainstorm the purpose of their model and troubleshoot building issues, they will practice crucial problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

About the Works:
Cori Kresge
Seraphim Airlines, a 30 minute dance work choreographed by Cori Kresge. Performed by Mariah Anton-Arters, Sienna Blaw, Miguel Angel Guzman, Cori Kresge, and Kristin Swiat. Quoting gestures from airline attendant safety demos, elevated by rigorous physicality and intentional precarity, five dancers embody roles as supernatural stewards offering choreography in case of an emergency. Original music composed by Eric Pitra. Costumes by Susan Julian.
Stephanie Saywell
There Was A House, choreographed and created by Stephanie Saywell, is inspired by themes pulled from Hansel & Gretel and navigates the sea of stories we tell each other about ourselves through a queer lens. Through heightened text, intricate character work, and the athletic conquering and division of space, three performers dive into a physical exploration of how stories are disseminated, shared, edited, censored, voiced, and left untold within the histories of our bodies. What causes us to leave home? What delight and terror do we discover in the forest of other people? And what bread crumbs lead us back? There Was A House is performed by Hallie Chametzky, Lucia Flexer-Marshall, and Aurora Vaughan, and features voiceover by Healy Knight and costume design by Hunter Dowell.

Bitches Books and Breakfast feat. Pretty Deadly
2024-01-20 12:00 - 14:00
B ,B,&B is a safe space for women (all women; cis, trans or otherwise) and non-binary folks to get together discuss some books, eat some food, and enjoy each other's company (other people are welcome , too!).
The books are selected based on creative input from women creators. All are welcome as long as you are open-minded and kind.
Everyone Comics is hosting the event, and can be the place you pick up the book. Your ticket is paying for your bagels, tea and coffee, as well as a discounted copy of the book. You can come in and pic it up any time after purchase. If you already own it, don't worry, you can get 10 dollars off something else in the store.
Your hosts, Kels and Cass, are life long comic book readers, and besties who want to extend and curate a similar reading experience for others.
This month's book is "Pretty Deadly" by Kely Sue Deconnick and Emma Rios
KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel) and EMMA RIOS (Dr. Strange, Osborn) present the collected opening arc of their surprise-hit series that marries the magical realism of Sandman with the western brutality of Preacher. Death's daughter rides the wind on a horse made of smoke and her face bears the skull marks of her father. Her origin story is a tale of retribution as beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly savage.

SculptureCenter Winter Opening Reception
2024-01-24 18:00 - 20:00 | SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York, 11101
Join us for an opening reception celebrating R.I.P. Germain: Avangarda, In Practice: Claudia Pagès, and Small World Cinema.
R.I.P. Germain: Avangarda
Jan 25–Mar 25, 2024
SculptureCenter is pleased to present the first exhibition in the United States of R.I.P. Germain. UK-based, R.I.P. Germain investigates how structures of exclusion lead to the creation of para-institutional spaces, practices, and modes of sociality and solidarity. His practice explores how a lack of access to financial, legal, and other forms of state-sanctioned resources foment support systems that respond to the needs of underserved and excluded communities.
In New York, R.I.P. Germain will present a series of newly commissioned sculptures in the guise of facades and storefronts. R.I.P. Germain’s presentation will expand his recent explorations of “false fronts”– or spaces that present themselves in one way but function in another. Offering an appearance of banality, they frequently mask an illegal operation. Liminal and precarious spaces of trade, the fronts also run as spaces of care and sociality. These engineered facsimiles represent amalgams of frontages for “baggy spaces” (as coined by the artist and the activist-curator Helen Starr), places “found in every city, governed by their own logics — market and moral, they function as ways to serve a community need that otherwise remains unmet.” These conditions generate specified ways to access and operate within them that cut across typical social hierarchies and stratification. In hyperlocal terms that interrogate what it means to be “in the know,” R.I.P. Germain’s work asks whether such semi-secrecy produces community, reproduces the destructive dynamics of the outside world, or allows for other systems of sociality and value to develop.
In Practice: Claudia Pagès
Jan 25–Feb 19, 2024
Claudia Pagès’s work circulates word, body, music, and movement in multiple directions, tracing the continuity of logistics systems (like shipping and transport) alongside legal language and proceedings in hypnotic video installations. Pagès refers to the subjects of her work as “containment architectures,” upholding power through the flow of goods and capital. Pagès’s new work for SculptureCenter is a video installation sited between two locations that mark the “birth of bureaucracy” – ancient caves tallied with trade markers and the paper's entrance to Europe through the Silk Route.
Small World Cinema
Jan 25–Mar 25, 2024
In collaboration with Taipei Fine Arts Museum, SculptureCenter welcomes Small World Cinema, a presentation of moving image works from the Taipei Biennial 2023 – Small World, to New York City.
“Small World,” the theme of the 13th edition of the Taipei Biennial, suggests both a promise of greater control over one’s own life, and a threat of isolation from a larger community. As the curators suggest, our world can become smaller as we grow closer to one another, but also as we grow apart, and Taipei Biennial 2023 – Small World takes place within such a suspended state.
Divided into four programs and spread across SculptureCenter’s lower level galleries, Small World Cinema includes works made between 1981 and 2023 by Tekla Aslanishvili; Yin-Ju Chen; Samia Halaby; Li Yi-Fan; Artemio Narro; Ipeh Nur; Ellen Pau; Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze; Jen Liu; Jumana Manna; Bahar Noorizadeh in collaboration with Rudá Babau and Waste Paper Opera (Klara Kofen, James Oldham, Gary Zhexi Zhang, Anna Palmer); Oleksiy Radynski; John Smith; Su Yu-Hsin; Wang Ya-Hui; C. Spencer Yeh; and Zhou Tao (as of Jan 11).

Kid's Tennis Academy Winter/Spring OpenHouse
2024-01-28 14:30 - 16:00
At Court 16 we take a holistic approach to teaching tennis. Our coaches guide each player through a progressive curriculum that emphasizes building a strong technical foundation for the long-term benefit of the player. We believe that it's not a race to hit a certain type of ball or play on a larger court, but rather embarking on a journey to develop a deep understanding of the game that will benefit players throughout their lives. We understand that each child is unique and has their own learning style. Age is the starting point for placing children in the appropriate group, but our coaches also make recommendations based on each individual child's progress.
