Your presence is requested at Blood Gala. An ancient vampire prepares to step down as leader of that most otherworldly and haunted of occult spaces—the non-profit cultural institution. But first, one more fundraiser! Two of NYC’s most provocative meme-makers and performance artists—Shawn Escarciga (@missladysalad) and Joanie Drago (@meanmommy6969)—join forces to create a *biting* satire about institutions, power, money, and the relentless thirst for blood.

5. Coreen Simpson, FF Alumn, book launch at The New School, Manhattan, Oct. 21
Aperture and Vision &
Justice Announce
Coreen Simpson: A Monograph
The long-awaited celebration and introduction to a singular creative force who interweaves photography, design, and explorations of identity
This October, Aperture will release Coreen Simpson: A Monograph, the first publication on the celebrated photographer and jewelry designer whose career spans more than five decades. The book is the second volume in the Vision & Justice Book Series, a groundbreaking endeavor designed to contribute to the ongoing work of building a richer story of lens-based practices, created by Dr. Sarah Lewis, and coedited by Lewis and Drs. Leigh Raiford and Deborah Willis.
Simpson has been capturing Black life and style for nearly fifty years. Before turning to photography, she pursued a career as a freelance writer, working for magazines such as Essence, Unique NY, and The Village Voice. Dissatisfied with the images that illustrated her stories, she decided to learn how to make her own, taking lessons in darkroom processing at the Studio Museum in Harlem and studying with jazz photographer Frank Stewart. Working as an editorial photographer, Simpson made portraits of athletes, artists, and celebrities, including Grace Jones, Muhammad Ali, Eartha Kitt, Toni Morrison, Diana Ross, and David Hammons. Among the images featured in Coreen Simpson: A Monograph is the artist’s celebrated B-Boys series, begun in the 1980s. These portraits of young people at the Roxy club, coming of age within the early years of hip-hop, characteristically explore the subjects’ poise and self-possession and how they expressed themselves through dress. As Deborah Willis writes, “All of Simpson’s portraits stress pride and dignity.”
The book also showcases Simpson’s later experimentations with collage, overpainting, and other formal interventions, and tells the story of how, while working as a photographer, she simultaneously built a successful jewelry business. Simpson’s iconic jewelry, such as her celebrated Black Cameo, has been worn by figures from Rosa Parks to Rihanna. With original scholarship and essays by Bridget R. Cooks, Awol Erizku,Rujeko Hockley, Sarah Lewis, Valerie Cassel Oliver, Jonathan Michael Square, Doreen St. Félix, and Salamishah Tillet, as well as a wide-ranging interview by Deborah Willis, the book explores the many dimensions of Simpson’s life in art and fashion.
As the second of three initial titles in the Vision & Justice Book Series, Coreen Simpson: A Monograph follows Race Stories: Essays on the Power of Images (2024), a compilation of writings by cultural historian, curator, and writer Maurice Berger (1956–2020), and precedes a forthcoming monograph that salutes the foundational work of Doug Harris (b. 1943).

The series presents vital new books that extend a critical canon-building movement, redefining the historical record—both central concepts and artistic practices—and disseminating the often unheralded work of Black artists.
In conjunction with the release of the monograph, the Aperture PhotoBook Club hosts a conversation with Coreen Simpson; Sarah Meister, Aperture’s executive director; Michael Famighetti, Aperture editor in chief andeditor of this title, and the book’s designers, Adam Turnbull and Elizabeth Karp-Evans of Pacific. Held on Tuesday, October 21, at 6:00 p.m. (EDT), at the New School, Wollman Hall, with entrance at 66 West 12th Street, New York. The event is free to the public, with registration by emailing bookclub@aperture.org.
Coreen Simpson: A Monograph is made possible, in part, with generous support from the Ford Foundation through its grant to Sarah Lewis’s Vision & Justice initiative at Harvard University. Additional support has been provided by Agnes Gund and Dawoud Bey.
The monograph is published by Aperture and available at aperture.org/books.

7. Verónica Peña, FF Alumna, at Performance Art Week Aotearoa, New Zealand, November 25-30
ALBARKAS PERFORMANCE
“Faced with the approaching steps of the inevitable, I felt the impulse of taking with me the little pair of albarkas my hands had saved for so many years. What do we carry with us? What is so important as to drag it against the asphalt beyond the sea, time, and distance? What impractical objects are close to your chest at home, or echoing the past in your migrating suitcase?”
For her durational performance ALBARKAS, Verónica Peña will wander through the streets of Wellington, embraced by the fragrance of memory. She will carry—and be carried by—a large, foreign object inspired by a traditional albarka, footwear originally made of calf-leather from the Basque Country (Spain), where the artist spent her childhood with her grandparents.
Motivated by the uncontrollable nature of change, this performance challenges the familiar of the everyday. It reveals a body caught between the fortune and pain of existence—moving and pausing, filled yet empty, grounded yet trapped, collective yet solitary. Through her journey, the artist’s numbness dismantles, leaving behind traces of emotion, care, and liberation.
Albarkas invites spectators to reflect on the deeper layers of their own lives, questioning what is remembered, what is forgotten, and what is carried forward.

16. Jay Critchley, FF Alumn, at Angel Foods, Provincetown, MA, thru Nov. 15
The Cold Warmth #3 opens Thursday, October 9 at 5:30 pm, with selected performances at 6:00 pm, at Angel Foods, 467 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA. Free and open to the public, refreshments will be served.
The installation runs through November 15, 2025.
With a second Cold War ramping up on all fronts – military buildup, free speech purging and environmental deregulation, The Cold Warmth #3 zeroes in on the disruption of global stability by The Whiteness House and its authoritarian direction. This three-month harborfront installation concludes with its third changing of the flags, featuring the merging of the European Union with the USSR Flag, and a lone US Flag.
How will The Whiteness House’s enchantment with dictators affect our international relations, our culture and our economics? The lonely US Flag looms over the debacle.
“The daylong changing of light is one of the defining features of Provincetown and this project sheds light on the Whiteness House’s disturbing shift in our relationships with our closest allies and autocratic countries,” states Critchley.
The project, which is sponsored by the Provincetown Public Art Foundation, asks: What does it mean to be an American? A patriot? A world leader?

19. Elana Katz, FF Alumn, at Goethe-Institut, Boston, MA, Oct. 10-14
Goethe-Institut Boston presents an exhibition by HEW Berlin in collaboration with the Boston Public Art Triennial, Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music and Visual Arts and KWADRAT Galerie Berlin. The artist collective HEW, founded in Berlin in 2020 as a project space by Elana Katz, takes over the Goethe-Institut Boston with an exhibition that explores themes of dependency, displacement, and distortion through live performance, AI-driven sculpture, and sound installation from October 10th to 14th, 2025.
Featured artists are Elana Katz (performance), Dario Srbić (AI-driven sculpture) and Joshua Fineberg (sound artist).
All events are free and open to the public.
October 10, 2025 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

EXHIBITION HOURS
The Other One is a site-specific performative exhibition by HEW (House for the End of the World), featuring the work of three interdisciplinary artists and presented in October at Goethe-Institut Boston and subsequently at Kwadrat Galerie in Berlin, Germany. The project confronts the topics of dependency, displacement, and distortion through live performance, AI-driven sculpture, and sound installation. HEW, a nomadic contemporary art platform founded in Berlin by Elana Katz in 2020, presents its first edition outside of Germany. Through endurance-based performance, Katz’s work activates the space and triggers Dario Srbić’s AI-driven 3D printer — a non-human performer translating her ephemeral gestures into sculptural artifacts. Joshua Fineberg’s spatialized sound environment immerses viewers in a visual-sonic experience that induces a sense of disorientation. The core conceptual themes of dependency, displacement, and distortion consider and reshape the notion of perception and interaction, encouraging reflection on shifting histories, the fragility of place, and the transitory nature of belonging. This installation is made possible by generous support from the International Coproduction Fond of the Goethe-Institut, HEW (House for the End of the World), KWADRAT Galerie Berlin and Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music and School of Visual Arts. We are pleased to present this installation in the context of the first Boston Public Art Triennial.
