Weekly Spotlight: Kiyo Gutiérrez, FF FUND recipient 2022-23, at Ward’s Island Bridge, Manhattan, May 17
River Healers / Wednesday May 17, 5:30 pm, on Ward’s Island Bridge (enter Ward’s Island Bridge from the park near FDR Drive between East 102 and East 103rd Streets, Manhattan, about a five minute walk to the center of the bridge where the performance will take place)
River Healers is a site-specific performance where three Healers toss their lengthy hair into the Harlem River from Ward’s Island Bridge. Their hair is made of red cabbage dyed cotton, which works as a natural PH indicator substance that changes color when in contact with water. The Healers hair starts out purple, indicating neutral PH, when it comes in contact with non-neutral water the dye reacts from green when it’s alkaline, to red, indicating acidic water. Harlem’s river PH level revealed through this intimate gesture, will indicate the river water’s health. River Healers aims to offer alternatives to our dominant water imaginaries and to build a closer relationship between rivers and citizens. Kiyo Gutiérrez will perform with Deborah Castillo and Carine Gibert.
Kiyo Gutiérrez is a Mexican performance artist based in Guadalajara. She studied history because she wanted to understand where she was standing. But she couldn’t find any answers in heteropatriarchal narratives. Then she discovered her path was in the body and its potential as a tool of resistance. She draws on multiple mediums including video, photography, dance, poetry, sculpture and sound. Ecofeminist, provocative, earthy, political, her performance pieces question established order and power, and explore the ties between female oppression and the destructive exploitation of Planet Earth. Kiyo performs often in public spaces and has participated in international performance festivals and exhibitions in Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia, Spain and the United States. She also participated in Debates, an editorial project for Colección Cisneros, is a current Fellow at the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics of Georgetown University, a recipient of the Franklin Furnace Fund, the Fulbright Scholarship and was recently nominated for the Gilder/Coigney International Theatre Award. She is currently exploring the possibility of multispecies alliances and is working in collaboration with more than 40 thousand honey bees and other pollinators.
This work was made possible, in part, by the Franklin Furnace FUND supported by Jerome Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the members and friends of Franklin Furnace Archive.
Thank you.

Clocking Out: Time Beyond Management
May 17 – 28
Opening reception: Wednesday, May 17, 5-7pm
Artists Space is pleased to present Clocking Out: Time Beyond Management, curated by KJ Abudu, Zachary B. Feldman, Emily Small, and Johanna Thorell, the 2022–23 Helena Rubinstein Curatorial Fellows of the Whitney Independent Study Program.
Kobby Adi, Julieta Aranda, Julieta Aranda & Anton Vidokle, Yto Barrada, Black Quantum Futurism, Helen Cammock, Maria Chávez, Kajsa Dahlberg, Kevin Jerome Everson, Brendan Fernandes, ektor garcia, Hicham Gardaf, Gerard & Kelly, Simon Gush, Sky Hopinka, Clare Hu, Samson Kambalu, Karrabing Film Collective, Victor Masayesva, Jr., Rosalind Nashashibi, Katie Paterson, Dario Robleto, Finnegan Shannon, and Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor
Clocking Out: Time Beyond Management challenges the dominant modern conception of time as objective, divisible, and linear. Situating the global imposition of this naturalized temporal order alongside the advent of Western capitalist modernity and the implementation of standardized clock time, the exhibition explores how time is represented, lived, and contested in the catastrophic present.
Presenting speculative, historical, and already-existing alternatives to the dominant temporal regime, the exhibition gestures towards a Time Beyond Management—a time outside of imposed regimentations, imperatives to productivity, and self-inflicted time management. The works on view foreground the orchestration of time as a site of struggle and critique, moving away from linear, progressive conceptions of time that historically and continuously enable interlocking systems of social, political, and economic domination. Spanning decolonial and Indigenous temporalities, alternative time-based economies, queered timekeeping devices, and materializations of interwoven time in textile practices, the exhibition resists the tendency towards a singular counter-hegemonic solution. Clocking Out is ultimately an invitation to imagine liberatory futures unhinged from the clock’s regulative hold on everyday life.
Clocking Out: Time Beyond Management encompasses a gallery exhibition, a performance program, and a reading room at Artists Space, as well as a film program at e-flux Screening Room.

8. Kathleen Kucka, FF Alumn, at Heather Gaudio Fine Art, New Canaan, CT, opening June 15
There is an upcoming exhibition of works by artist and Franklin Furnace alumn Kathleen Kucka—opening June 15 at Heather Gaudio Fine Art in New Canaan, CT. Kathleen is well-known in the NYC abstract scene and a recent transplant to Litchfield County, CT, where she recently opened a gallery, Furnace – Art on Paper Archive, in the upscale town of Falls Village with an impressive roster of artists— Gary Stephan, Stephen Maine, Gelah Penn, etc.
Heather Gaudio Fine Art: https://www.heathergaudiofineart.com/
Furnace – Art on Paper Archive: https://www.furnace-artonpaperarchive.com/
Nancy Spero included Kucka’s work in the 1990s exhibition she curated for Franklin Furnace, Burning in Hell. Her gallery’s name “Furnace” is an homage to the Franklin Furnace in her own small way. The book Kucka made for the Burning in Hell exhibition is currently at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in Joan M. Flasch Artists’ Books Collection: https://digitalcollections.saic.edu/islandora/object/islandora%3Ajfabc_2208
Details are below for your consideration and a press release/images are attached. Appreciate your time and many thanks!
Exhibition: Kathleen Kucka: Strange Attractor
Dates: June 15- July 22, 2023
Location: Heather Gaudio Fine Art, 66 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT
Opening reception: Thursday, June 15, 5-7pm
Description: On June 15, Heather Gaudio Fine Art will present artist Kathleen Kucka’s second solo exhibition with the gallery featuring newly created paintings and works on paper that blur the line between two and three-dimensional abstraction using unconventional materials and methods.
Reflecting on her time spent outside of New York City, the current works were inspired by the dark nights, planet gazing, and fractals of Summer, and were created by employing a hand-held burn tool to mark geometric grids and circular patterns on the surface of her canvas before painting on top of the scorched surface, exploring the interplay between physical and visual components of painting.
Thank you.

Letters to the Ice, Iqaluit, NU
Devora Neumark, FF Alumn, in collaboration with Inuksuk High School: Samantha Abbott and Cheryl O’Keefe and their respective students
Monday, May 15, 2023 (weather permitting)
Letters to the Ice is a participatory project that invites people to engage directly with climate change issues. An earlier iteration of this project was produced in 2021 and published here: https://devoraneumark.com/works/letters-to-ice/
This latest iteration on May 15th (weather permitting) will feature students from Inuksuk High School reading their own letters to the ice. A drone and other video equipment will be used to follow and document this live art performance event.
In her recent keynote at Carleton University’s Kinamagawin event about Inuit relocations (Thursday, February 25, 2021), Sheila Watt-Cloutier suggested that change happens at the speed of empathy. Letters to the Ice aims to invite the necessary empathy to mainstream climate and environmental justice, and to share concerns and solutions about climate and environmental change, trauma, mitigation and adaptation.
Thank you.

Boundary was made with Neil Zusman in 1980. The curator selected an excerpt, Radiated Face, “a mix of tapes produced during residencies where [we] collaborated in a free form improvisation of performance and media. Staccato images of violence and marching fascists are ‘thrown in’ to Julie’s face, sliced into sections with a special-effects generator, the Jones colorizer and Paik-Abe video synthesizer.” (NZ).
