9. Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel, FF Alumn, at Governors Island, NY, Sept. 7
Lifting Up the Moon / Three Movement-Based Gestures in the Dark, in the Night, and Surrounded by Waters
Governors Island /Sunday, September 7, 2025 / 6:30 PM 8:30 PM
For more information, go to: https://www.interiorbeautysalon.com/happenings/lifting-up-the-moon-three-movement-based-gestures-in-the-dark-in-the-night-and-surrounded-by-waters
Conjured by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel
With actions by Luis A. Lara Malvacías, Priscilla Marrero with Ferran Martín, and Larissa Velez-Jackson
Presented with La Academia Desposeída
Those wishing to attend MUST arrive at Governors Island by 6:30 PM / Please dress in black
In Wicca, Drawing Down the Moon, which is also the title of a classic publication by Margot Adler, points to the practice of invoking the Goddess as symbolized by the moon, and hence inviting her to enter the High Priestess. In the case of this nocturnal curation, Nicolás asks three Latinx dancers to raise energy from the Earth and to send it up to Spirit or Life Force, whatever their own personal understanding of this concept might be. The three actions in question are meant to be kindled during the night, and within the echoes and reverberations of New York City’s urban web of noises, sounds, creatures, and energies. This program arises from Nicolás’s belief that what is referred to as Art today initially served a spiritual purpose, that is, before devolving into a profession, tradable objects–corpses– and consumable/ marketable events; a spectacle. With this in mind, all three movements in Lifting Up the Moon are meant to return art, in whatever modest ways this might be possible, back into the sacred, especially at a time when patriarchy and capitalism are acting upon a necrophiliac agenda, and when the call is to resist and honor GAIA and creation/emanation, including its satellite the Moon. All those willing to attend are asked to dress in black, so to blend into the night as we traverse the waters by way of the Governors Island Ferry

Since 2011, Martín and Marrero have been creating works that range in film and live performance mediums. They have collaborated in their research interests of bringing conceptual and experimental art to low-income and marginalized communities. Together, they bridge the conversation between performance art and the dance theater worlds. Their improvisational practice is inspired by nature, dérive (Situationist concept), the relationship between the body and objects, ceremonial dynamics, and the environment. They inquire about bringing awareness to our spaces, and discovering ways to bring humor, charm, and character while inviting the spectator to participate in the conversation.
Ferran Martín is an interdisciplinary artist originally from Valencia, Spain. He is recognized for his work as an experimental sculptor with a focus on the public realm and performance. His work has been exhibited at Greene Naftali (NY), Daniel Silverstein (NY), Newman & Popiasvhilli Gallery (NY), Farside (Miami), Dorsky Gallery (NY), Roger Smith Gallery (NY), Greenberg Van Doren Gallery (NY), Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros (Mexico City), Arte Veintiuno (Madrid), The Empty Circle (NY), Proyectos Raúl Zamudio (NY), Ethan Cohen Gallery (NY) amongst others. His work has been presented in St. Moritz Art Masters Festival 2011, Yeosu Art Festival (Korea) 2010, Beijing Biennale 2009 and the Bronx Museum of Art’s AIM program (NY).

ACADEMIA DESPOSEÍDA / STORM & DRUNK: A “Dispossessed Academy” is a cultural and
artistic project organized by Storm and Drunk and performed and curated by Raisa Maudit and Andrés Senra
It proposes the creation of a virtual and physical meeting space in different sessions for the construction of collective, accessible, and transdisciplinary knowledge through processes of artistic creation and thought. These processes include current reflections on the paradigm shifts that have occurred in the early decades of the 21st century, which are marginalized or excluded from institutional and official realms of contemporary thought and art. The Dispossessed Academy aims to address emerging practices in seemingly diverse fields of knowledge such as biotechnology, philosophy, performance, architecture, ecology, history, arts, mysticism, metaphysics, performative rituals, and magical thinking. These practices are reflected in the artistic production of a series of agents, collectives, art spaces, and national, local, and international artists who reframe the relationships between community artivism and the otherness of the dispossessed, the interspecies relationships that build caring communities with the planet, the questioning of the human as an anthropocentric discourse, feminist and spiritual practices that work from mysticism as a creative impulse, text and archive as forms of artistic and plastic practice, magic and ritual practices that propose the creation of communities of affection and individual and collective transformation through performance and its documentary recording, the relationships between art and healing in relation to the spaces we inhabit, whether physical or virtual, queer feminism and postcolonialism as streams of thought that are articulating networks of questioning historical global hierarchies through horizontal and collaborative artistic practices. The Academy is part of the Independent Spaces GrantsProgram of the Madrid City Council In the different sessions, the following entities and artists are participating: Interior Beauty Salon, Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles, Anna Gimein, Ruth Montiel Arias, Priscilla Marrero & Ferran Martín, Luis A. Lara Malvacías, and Larissa Velez-Jackson. https://www.stormanddrunk.com/
The Interior Beauty Salon was conceived by Nicolás (A.K.A. Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo) in 2017 in The Bronx, NY, to serve as a space where that which is not necessarily seen or manifested in tangible ways, is seeded, nurtured and given room to grow safely. This includes processes melding art, ritual, ceremony, rites of passage, and healing. Some of the channels deployed include writing, listening, talking, moving, drawing, journaling, contemplating, meditating, breathing and performing. The Interior Beauty Salon was born out of the urgency to re-shift the focus from the external and the extraneous in contemporary society and instead to place attention on the very depths of who we might ultimately be. As such, those who partake of the Salon’s offerings, whether as individuals or groups, engage with Nicolás, its Founding Director, in developing rites of passages, constellating pressing questions, writing for holistic purposes, creating meaningful ceremonies, and opening up to ways of being that take into account the impermanence yet the relevance of our presence in this dimension, which you may call life or give it any other name that you may wish. https://www.interiorbeautysalon.com/

11. Elaine Angelopoulos, Eleanor Antin, Cassils, Helen & Newton Harrison, Komar & Melamid, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Andy Warhol, Hannah Wilke, FF Alumns, at Ronald Feldman Gallery, Manhattan, Sept. 2-Nov. 20
On view September 2 – November 20
Ronald Feldman Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition:
Performance, Activist, and Existential Photographs
A selection of photographs and photo-based works.
Including the work of the following artists:
Vincenzo Agnetti, Elaine Angelopoulos, Eleanor Antin, Arakawa, Conrad Atkinson, Brandon Ballengée, Joseph Beuys, Chris Burden, Cassils, Chuck Close, Keith Cottingham, Terry Fox, Tom Friedman, Rico Gatson, Helen & Newton Harrison, Komar & Melamid, Lev Nisnevich, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Dmitry Shubin, Tavares Strachan, Diemut Strebe, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Eve Sussman, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Andy Warhol, and Hannah Wilke
This selection is inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s belief that the concept behind the artwork is more important than its visual or material form. This radical shift away from materiality created a foundation for artists to challenge traditional artistic forms and practices and opened the door to bold new directions. All of the artists included use their work to probe into an array of subject matters, and often redefine art in the process. If approached with an open mind, the photographs invite and inspire viewers to question their own assumptions about what art is. This exhibition presents a cross-section of Ronald Feldman Gallery’s significant history and commitment to idea-driven work.
Gallery viewing hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 1pm – 5pm, or by appointment.

Werner Vasquez (b. 1971) is a visual artist born and based in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.

Laurie Anderson has been a student of Tibetan Buddhism and meditation for over fifty years. In 2020, she collaborated with Buddhist scholars Benjamin Bogin and Dominique Townsend on a new translation of The Root Verses of the Six Bardos, a 14th century text revealed by Buddhist tertön Karma Lingpa. They read their translation, titled “Between Birth and Death and Death and Rebirth,” with musical accompaniment by Laurie.
Introducing Laurie, Ben, and Dominique’s reading is the contemporary Tibetan poet Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, who reads a selection of her own poetry.
Ben, Dominique, and Tsering are three of the contributors to Forms of Awakening: Tibetan Art from the Jack Shear Collection (Tang Museum / Delmonico Books, 2025), a new book published by the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, in collaboration with The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, and the Williams College Museum of Art.
This event is co-organized with the Tang Museum, and copies of the book are available for purchase.
Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most well-known and daring creative pioneers, recognized worldwide as a groundbreaking leader in the use of technology in the arts. Known largely for her multimedia presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.
Benjamin Bogin is Associate Professor of Asian Studies at Skidmore College. He is a scholar of Himalayan Buddhism, writing and teaching on the intersections of biographical literature, sacred geography, and visual art in Himalayan cultures.
Dominique Townsend is Jey Tsong Khapa Chair of Tibetan Buddhism at Columbia University. Her research interests include Tibetan Buddhist cultural production, literature, aesthetics, dreams, gender, and translation. She has taught on Tibetan Buddhism and history, Asian humanities, poetics, new media, dreaming, and death.
Tsering Wangmo Dhompa is a poet and Associate Professor of English at Villanova University. She is the author of numerous books of poems, including Rules of the House (2002), In the Absent Day (2005), My Rice Tastes Like the Lake (2011), and her first full-length book A Home in Tibet (2013).
Karma Lingpa (1326–1386, Tibet) was the tertön (revealer) of the Bardo Thodol, the so-called Tibetan Book of the Dead. Tradition holds that he was a reincarnation of Chokro Lü Gyeltsen, a disciple of Padmasambhava.
Giorno Poetry Systems is generously supported by Teiger Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, Westridge Foundation, I.A. O’Shaughnessy Foundation, Keith Haring Foundation, Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz- Picasso, Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Jenni Crain Foundation, Aurora Music Foundation, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Galerie Almine Rech, kurimanzutto, the GPS Advisory Council, and Club 222 members.
