The famous Surrealist game has taken on a life of its own over 100 years. Sarah Cowan Oct 16, 2024 In celebration of the 100th anniversary of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism, this short documentary takes a deep dive into the Surrealist game cadavre exquis or “exquisite corpse,” a collaborative drawing made by multiple people, with each adding a different body part while unaware of what the others drew.

Go behind the scenes of a monumental installation that explores how the invisible can be the most evocative element of an artwork. Sarah Cowan Oct 7, 2024 When artist Montien Boonma was searching for a cure for his wife’s cancer, he turned to traditional Thai medicine and the healing power of smell. Boonma made this experience central to one of his most ambitious immersive installations, what he called “a house with pills” that evokes a sacred temple.

In conjunction with the exhibition Crafting Modernity: Design in Latin America, 1940-1980, this three-part series of conversations among Latin American scholars is intended to highlight new research, amplify complexities, and strengthen networks of scholarship and fellowship among creative circles interested in art, architecture, and design. In this session, scholars Raul Naon and Fernando Portal will explore the intersection of memory and design in Argentina and Chile. This conversation will be moderated by Inés Katzenstein, Director, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America, and Curator of Latin American Art.

Foundation IDA works to preserve and promote the history of Argentine design in fields like industrial, textile, fashion, and graphic design.

For nearly two decades, Naón has been involved with Foundation Espigas, which focuses on preserving the history of visual arts in Argentina. From 2014 to 2016, he served on the board of the Latin American and Caribbean Fund at MoMA, where he helped to increase the visibility of the region’s art on the global stage.

He has collaborated extensively with artists and cultural institutions in Latin América, Europe and the US in the development of curatorial, editorial, and performance-based projects related to the memory of counter-hegemonic practices in architecture and design, and to the development of self-organized cultural and communal spaces. He is editor and co-editor of several books, including Lo nuevo, de nuevo. Arquitectura y bienal en Chile (2021), and Esto no es Arquitectura (2023).

Join us to honor, celebrate, and raise awareness of the contributions that community health workers make to the lives of New Yorkers. Community health workers play a crucial role in the public healthcare system, helping people address barriers to well-being that are known as “the social determinants of health,” including homelessness and housing-quality issues, financial and food insecurity, inadequate access to transportation, and legal problems. What are the joys, challenges, and critical issues surrounding their role today? What role do the arts play in illuminating their stories? This evening will include conversations and presentations by community health workers, artists, and clinicians, followed by a reception and an opportunity to see the exhibition LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity. This gathering was planned in collaboration with the Arts in Medicine department of New York City Health + Hospitals, and was inspired by LaToya Ruby Frazier’s work More Than Conquerors: A Monument for Community Health Workers of Baltimore, Maryland 2021–2022, currently on view in the Monuments of Solidarity exhibition.
