Weekly Spotlight: Kim Ye, FF FUND for Performance Art recipient 2025-26, at Model Airplane Field, Forest Hills, Queens NY, Oct. 18
“Choreographies of Care” by Kim Ye
The 30-minute movement-based performance combines choreography from the Asian tradition of park dancing with US military parade sequences, Qigong, and gestures taken from pregnancy, childrearing, and sex work. Performed by an intergenerational ensemble to a score that layers Chinese nursery rhymes, traditional East Asian instrumentals, in utero recordings, and “Taps,” the piece proposes caregiving as a form of national service that requires the sacrifice of feminized, immigrant, and Asian bodies.
Choreographies of Care is supported by the Franklin Furnace FUND for the 2025–26 season.
PERFORMED BY: Anh Vo, Gentle Mothh, Jas Lin, Kim Ye, and Tina Ye
CHOREOGRAPHED BY: Jas Lin, Gentle Mothh
ORIGINAL SCORE BY: Micah Huang, featuring Tina Ye
COSTUME DESIGN BY: Gumamela Bloom, made by House of Bloom

3. Hector Canonge, FF Alumn, at Lyon Bienal, France, Oct. 23-Dec. 15
HECTOR CANONGE, FF Alumn, in the 18th edition of the Lyon Bienal: Résonance, October 23 to December 15, 2026, France.
After finishing the presentation of his interdisciplinary world-wide project and initiative, TROTAMUNDOS 2026 (June 15 – October 10, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America), artist Hector Canonge returns to France to participate in the 18e Biennale de Lyon Art Contemporain with his collaborative project “VESTIGES DE L’EPHEMERE” for Résonance 2026 (October 15 to November 30).
Canonge’s “VESTIGES DE L’EPHEMERE” (Remnants of the Ephemeral) is a collaboration with artist Wilson Tapia, and reflects on the relation of corporal actions and the urban terrain’s architectural conformation. Through a series of public interventions in the traditional Traboules of the city of Lyon, the project functions as a catalyst for the creation of a multidisciplinary exhibition, public workshops and academic lectures on the nature of participatory performative actions and psychogeographic experience.
The project’s program for Résonance 2026 consists of Performances (Traboules Lyon City Center) on October 23 to 24, an Exhibition (La Maison des Dauphins, La Tour du Pin) October – November, Vernissage on October 28, a Conference on October 29, and public workshops on October 30. The finissage is scheduled for November 2026.

SAYA WOOLFALK
The WoodsWoman Method:
Beyond the Margins
at
The Bronx Museum
October 9, 2026 – March 28, 2027
Woods Women: Sisters
(Jewelweed, Wild Strawberry, Meadowsweet, and Sassafras), 2024
Mixed media collage on paper
39-1/2 x 40-3/8 inches (framed)
In anticipation of Saya Woolfalk’s inaugural installation for The Bronx Museum’s renovated main lobby, opening in 2027, the Museum is collaborating with the artist to share her creative process through Saya Woolfalk: The WoodsWoman Method. Woolfalk has envisioned the WoodsWoman as a botanist-healer and mythic character who is part of her Empathic Universe series.
The WoodsWoman Method functions as both an exhibition and laboratory, bringing together recent works by Woolfalk with pieces from The Bronx Museum’s permanent collection. Curated in collaboration with Bronx Museum Director of Curatorial Programs Eileen Jeng Lynch, Woolfalk has applied the lens of the Woodswoman in selecting works by Huma Bhabha, Robert Blackburn, Abigail DeVille, and Martin Wong that explore speculative worlds, the cosmos, relationships between humans and nature, and forms of collective storytelling.
Birthing a New Sky (Starships and Cosmic Tethers), 2024
Mixed media collage on paper
38-1/4 x 74-5/8 inches (framed)
Saya Woolfalk also plans to collaborate with the Museum’s Education Department on programming that will help inform the development of her final WoodsWoman installation for the renovated main lobby. Debuting in 2027 with the reopening of the Museum’s renovated wing, Woolfalk’s installation will officially inaugurate The Bronx Museum’s new series of artist commissions for its main lobby. Building on a relationship with the artist that began with her participation in the 2009 cycle of the Museum’s AIM Fellowship, the Museum has entrusted her to set the tone for these two new curatorial initiatives.
As Woolfalk states: “I’m deeply excited to return to The Bronx Museum and to revisit the collection through the lens of The WoodsWoman Method. This project brings together ideas that have long been central to my practice, and I hope the presentation creates space for visitors to make unexpected connections and to see the collection, and perhaps the world around them, in new ways.”

8. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, FF Alumn, at Artists Space, Oct. 15 and more
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings
Public Programs
Artists Space presents a series of programs in conjunction with Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings, the first retrospective in twenty-five years dedicated to the artist’s groundbreaking work. The series includes three readings co-curated with Nightboat Books, a book launch, and a film screening co-presented with Anthology Film Archives.
October 3: Segue Reading Series: Ken Chen & Cici Wu with Ju Ly Ban
October 15: Book talk for Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings
October 17: Segue Reading Series: julie ezelle patton & Cecilia Vicuña
November 14: Segue Reading Series: Benjamin Krusling & Chang Yuchen
November 19: Cinematic Correspondences: Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Her Filmic Influences
Cha produced an expansive range of works comprising performances for film and video, installation, photography, artist’s books (including her genre-defying book Dictée from 1982), and works on paper, which fill Artists Space’s entire first floor. In her lifetime, Cha contributed to experimental art scenes in New York City, San Francisco, Paris, and beyond. Her work has had a quietly profound influence on subsequent generations of artists.
After emigrating from South Korea to the United States, Cha enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1969, where she studied art practice, comparative literature, and film. Keenly attuned to the active role that audiences play in the creation of meaning, she prioritized nonlinear narratives to allow for more open-ended forms of interpretation–what she termed a method of “Multiple Telling with Multiple Offering.” This retrospective adopts her framework to allow for a range of entry points into the work, guiding visitors through the themes–memory, displacement, and the mutability of language, among others—that recur in Cha’s oeuvre.
Cha moved to New York City in 1980, where she supported herself with several jobs while pursuing her artistic career. She worked as an administrative assistant in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, taught video art at Elizabeth Seton College in Yonkers, and served as an editor at Tanam Press, a publishing imprint dedicated to artists’ books that was founded by her friend and collaborator Reese Williams.
On November 5, 1982, Cha’s short but prolific career came to an end when she was murdered just weeks before her planned exhibition at Artists Space. At the time of her death, Cha was producing a new photographic series inspired by her time working at the Met. Multiple Offerings presents that unfinished series of black-and-white prints alongside nearly one hundred artworks and archival materials from across her career, highlighting the inventive, playful, and meditative methods of Cha’s practice.
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings is organized by BAMPFA and curated by Victoria Sung, Phyllis C. Wattis Senior Curator, with Tausif Noor, Curatorial Associate. The presentation at Artists Space is organized by Danielle A. Jackson, Curator, and Nusheen Ghaemi, Administrative & Program Assistant. Multiple Offerings is drawn from Cha’s archives, which have been housed and cared for at BAMPFA since 1992 following a generous gift from the Theresa Hak Kyung Cha Memorial Foundation.
Biography
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (b. 1951, Busan, South Korea; d. 1982, New York City) emigrated to the United States in 1962, settling first in Hawaii and then moving to San Francisco in 1964. The Bay Area remained Cha’s home for most of her life. She attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she received four undergraduate and graduate degrees in comparative literature and art. In 1980, Cha moved to New York City, where she worked as an editor and writer for Tanam Press, producing two important works: Dictée, a book-form collage of poetry, found text, and images; and Apparatus, an anthology of writings on the film apparatus. In 1982, Cha was awarded an artist’s residence at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and was preparing for an upcoming exhibition at Artists Space, New York City. Cha’s work has been included in recent exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale: This Too, Is a Map (2023), Seoul Museum of Art; Whitney Biennial 2022: Quiet as It’s Kept, Whitney Museum, New York City; and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Audience Distant Relative, Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York (2022). In 1990, BAMPFA organized the artist’s first solo exhibition as part of its MATRIX series of contemporary art, followed by her first retrospective in 2001 (Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Dream of the Audience). The exhibition traveled to seven venues, including University of California, Irvine; Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York; Krannert Art Museum at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Henry Art Gallery at University of Washington, Seattle; Ssamzie Space, Seoul; Generali Foundation, Vienna; and Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona. In 1992, Cha’s family donated the entirety of her artworks and archives to BAMPFA, where they form the cornerstone of the museum’s Conceptual Art Study Center and continue to be accessible to researchers today.

92 Plymouth St. Brooklyn, NY 11201
Free w/ RSVP
The “table” performance is back…with a new script updated for a new venue!
More details on this performance from Smack Mellon Curator & Director of Exhibitions Rachel Vera Steinberg:
“The artist will perform as an object of service, appropriating the image of designer Allen Jones’ controversial “Women as Furniture” series. Using the table, and herself, as a site of exchange, she will lead audience members through a series of challenges related to power, service, and control.”
This performance is very fun and extremely unpredictable, and it’s been so delicious & delightful to find new ways to shake it up over the past two years. It’s evolved quite a bit since earlier iterations at The 8th Floor, JACK, The Brick, and A.I.R. Gallery.
I also have some new prints in the How We Work: Smack Mellon at 30 exhibition––let me know if you want a tour before the exhibition closes on December 6th.
(I am also at Smack Mellon on most weekdays — I will be in residence in the studios there until August 2027!)

14. Ann Messner, FF Alumn, at Extra Extra Echo, Manhattan, opening Oct. 24
Echo Extra Echo is pleased to announce raft, an exhibition featuring work by the New York–based multidisciplinary artist Ann Messner, on view from October 24 through November 22. This presentation debuts raft (2014/2026), a large-scale sculptural installation comprising an array of materials—a ladder, a music stand, a satellite dish, speakers, power strips, sheets of neoprene rubber, apple boxes, among other items—found in the urban environment and in the artist’s studio, which indexes and reveals the seemingly prosaic gaps that appear in our surrounding spaces. The objects in raft are dismantled, punctured, exploded, or left whole, and then joined and reassembled by Messner in such a way that conveys the artist’s longstanding consideration of such themes as impermanence, personal experience, and the decision to act.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 24, at 1–6pm. Jeremy Johnston and Nina Felshin will participate in a discussion with the artist at the gallery on Saturday, November 7, at 3pm.
Viewings are by appointment only, though the work can be seen through the windows on the ground-floor level of the apartment building at all hours. Email us at echo.extra.echo@gmail.com to RSVP for the opening or November 7 program or to schedule an appointment to view raft on the Upper West Side another time.

Blaise Tobia (FF Alum) has fifty of his photographs from 1978 on display in the exhibition Art/Work: the Practice and Politics of CETA and the Arts, 1974-81 at the James Gallery of the CUNY Grad Center (continues to 12/12/26). These were made while he was a documentary photographer for the CCF CETA Artists Project in NYC, one year after earning his MFA at UCSD. The exhibition documents twelve case studies of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act’s role in employing artists across the U.S. during the 1970s, about 30,000 in all, making it almost as large as the art program of the WPA. Tobia and his wife, fellow UCSD alum and FF alum, Virginia Maksymowicz, coordinate the national organization CETA Arts Legacy Project.

Happy October!
My new album, “The Worse It Gets, the Better We Like It,” is now
available on Bandcamp. It contains 20 songs I recorded in the late ’80s
and early ’90s, mostly arranged for ukulele and viola, with either Carol
Benner or David Gold on viola, and now retrieved from aging cassettes
and CDs. Included are “I Wish I Were an Alien,” “How About a Movie?”,
“We’re Just a Bit of Dust,” “I Never Met a Man Who Never Met a Man He
Didn’t Like That I Like,” and other songs with rapid rhyming and lush
viola parts:
