Raquel Rabinovich: Portals is now open through November 5, 2021
Over the course of a seventy-year-long career, New York-based Argentinian-American artist Raquel Rabinovich (b. 1929, Buenos Aires) has been concerned with the paradox of making the invisible visible. Her interest in mythology, existence, poetry, nature, and transcendence is reflected in her monochromatic paintings and drawings, as well as in her sculptural practice that encompasses large-scale glass environments and site-specific stone installations along the shores of the Hudson River. Exploring a range of material choices and artistic processes, Rabinovich’s work seeks to convey “that which is concealed emerging into view.”

2. Maya Ciarrocchi, FF Alumn, on Governors Island, NYC, opening Oct. 2
Dear Friends!
I hope you are safe and healthy and able to enjoy these waning days of summer.
I am writing to extend an invitation to Rivers, Dreams, Invisible Cities, a public art installation in the WoWHaus (Works on Water) on Governors Island.
The project is part of my ongoing research on buried water bodies in the New York City area.
The installation comprises suspended cyanotype prints on silk with images illustrating past and present trajectories of New York City waterways whose shorelines are inaccessible to city residents. Also included are drawn renderings of fantastical cities belonging to an imagined future. Each print tells an individual story, and their merging manifests a reimagined city forever altered by climate change.
There is an informal opening reception on Saturday, October 2, 2021, from 2-5 pm, and the exhibition is open Saturdays and Sundays through October 17 from 12-5 pm.
More details are below – I hope you can join me on Governors Island!
Rivers, Dreams, Invisible Cities
Opening, Saturday, October 2, 2-5 pm, 2021
Works on Water House, Nolan Park, Building 5B, Governors Island

Growing A Green Heart
Saturday, October 30, 2021
2:00 PM 5:00 PM
Van Cortlandt Park 6142 Broadway, The Bronx, NY 10471
Presented by City as Living Laboratory (CALL)
Led By Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo (Ndere)
With Priscilla Marrero, John Butler And Iván Asín
Set aside some time on a Friday afternoon to disconnect from busyness and reconnect with the ecosystem you are a part of! Join us for “Growing a Green Heart”, a three-hour experiential community gathering-walk-movement-drawing workshop at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, where participants are invited to become ONE with its ecosystem, and thus for us to develop deep connections with it that can lead to advocacy for our borough’s green areas and for the future of Tibbetts Brook.
In this experience, participants will engage art as a transformative process, leading them back into Nature and while highlighting the personhood of rivers, trees, and fields, to name a few. “Growing a Green Heart” encompasses walking in ways that develop mindful awareness and focus; moving our minds-bodies away from technology and with our immediate surroundings, and engaging in performative exercises that seek to move participants from empathy to compassion for Nature, but also to awaken Nature within us. At the end of the session, participants will be invited to join in a plant-based meal.
We hope you’ll join us in this transformative experience….and let your heart turn green like the Park!
This will be an in-person, socially distanced event following covid safety protocols. Tickets are limited to allow for appropriate distancing, so while this is a free event, registration is required.
Growing a Green Heart is an experience conceived by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo, combining choreography, pedagogy, and performance art, resulting in a multidisciplinary engagement to be presented with CALL, and the Bronx Council on the Arts . This project is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the Bronx Council on the Arts.
Nicolás will be working with Argenis Apolinario and Geoffrey Jones to document this experience in photograph and video.

Queremos compartirte la información de la exposición ARTIFACTS, que será inaugurada el viernes 24 de septiembre a las 7:00 p.m., y estará abierta al público hasta el viernes 22 de octubre de 2021.
“Artifacts” es un proyecto curado por las investigadoras Barbara Krulik y Mildred Durán que se articula alrededor de la ubicuidad de la información y los datos, y nuestra relación con ellos en el mundo contemporáneo. Haciendo uso de diferentes formatos, volúmenes y metodologías de recolección de cifras, datos y métricas, los 25 artistas nacionales e internacionales expuestos se acercan a las problemáticas planteadas por la inagotable circulación de información en la actualidad desde una perspectiva que cuestiona su utilización por parte del estado para controlar, regular o disciplinar a la sociedad, al tiempo que examinan su relación con el cuerpo social y el individual.
Artistas participantes: Liliana Angulo (CO), Fernando Arias (CO), Jaime Ávila (CO), Edson Barrus (BR/FR), Marisa Baumgartner (DE/US), Yann Beauvais (FR), Terry Berkowitz (US), Rossella Biscotti (IT/BE), Julian Dupont (CO), William Engelen (NL / DE), Raphaël Faon | Andrés Salgado (FR/CO), Richard Garrison (US), Ben Grosser (US), LigoranoReese (US), David Medina (CO), Christian Lesmes-Mendoza (CO), Lucy McKenna (IE), Emeka Ogboh (NRA/DE), Morgan O’Hara (US), Juan Pablo Pacheco (CO), Fernando Pertuz (CO), PROM collective (ES/NL/IT), Carlos Schwartz (ES), Francesc Torres (US), Gabriel Zea (CO).
Barbara Krulik (US/NL) es historiadora del arte, curadora, escritora y gestora cultural. Se ha desempeñado en Nueva York como directora asistente de la National Academy of Design, como directora asistente de Forum Gallery, y como directora de la Escuela de Posgrados en Arte Figurativo de New York Academy of Art.
Mildred Durán (CO/FR) es investigadora en arte contemporáneo, crítica de arte y curadora independiente. Tiene un doctorado en arte contemporáneo en América Latina de la Universidad Panthéon-Sorbonne. Ha trabajado en el Centro Georges-Pompidou, en exposiciones como Au-delà du spectacle, Les années Pop y Jean Dubuffet.

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to announce the opening of a new, year-round project space as an extension of NADA’s fairs and exhibition programs. The size of a small art fair booth—approximately ten by ten feet—the exhibition space is located at 75 East Broadway, in the East Broadway Mall in Chinatown, New York. The inaugural exhibition, Light Show, opened Saturday, September 18th, with eight artists presenting light-based sculpture objects. Taking inspiration from the numerous lighting stores that have lined the Bowery, the exhibition calls attention to the intersection between galleries and the small businesses which are an invaluable resource to the neighborhood. Through this alignment with small businesses, and stemming from our efforts in 2020 to support rent relief for galleries impacted by the pandemic, NADA aims to build a stronger alliance with other businesses and bring more awareness to the shared interest in a commercial rent stabilization bill.
Appointments can be made on weekdays with advance notice by emailing info@newartdealers.org.

14. Heather Woodbury, FF Alumn, offers online performance workshops, Oct. 27-Dec. 8
Franklin Furnace Alumn Heather Woodbury is offering a class on Zoom. Sliding scale. Twenty percent of proceeds will benefit Activate America!
Maximum # of participants: ten. Four slots remain:)
Solo Performance: In the Pulse of this Moment
An Eight Week Workshop w/ Acclaimed Theatre Artist Heather Woodbury
Dates: Wednesdays, October 27 – December 8th, 4-6 pm PST/7pm – 9pm EST
Culmination Sessions: Wednesday and Thursday, January 5 & 6, Times: TBD
Where: Zoom
During these 8 sessions, writer-performer Heather Woodbury will divulge her artistic coming of age story and relay the recipes-cum-blueprints for devising material that she’s arrived at in the course of 30 years of writing and performing epic serials. We’ll get an overview of Heather’s art of solo performance and hone the tools, tips, and tricks she’s learned for rendering the comic and improvisatory into resonant work of lasting value.
“Starting with my personal initiation to the East Village 1980’s performance and experimental theatre scene and the story of how that led to me originating marathon play cycles for a spectrum of venues —Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre to London’s Royal Festival Hall and on to public-radio plays, and podcast novels — we’ll look at how the wild behavior and tactics of radical performers, poets, and artists of the 20th century—my inspirations and influences—inform and inspire contemporary drama and relate to drama’s most ancient traditions – from shamanism to Shakespeare. We’ll look at the influence solo performance exerts in contemporary playwriting and screenwriting and how this old as the hills yet avante-garde solo art form affords unique opportunities for messing with the status quo. In these pivotal times, might subversive solo artists have a chance to eclipse the socially mediated totality by gravitating the culture towards imagination and renewal? We just might, if we listen for, cultivate and transmit our own best creative impulse.”
Writer-performer Heather Woodbury is known for her unique serial play cycles that meld the immediacy of performance with the scope of a novel. Critically distinguished in the NY Times, the Chicago Sun-Times and on NPR, her 100+ character multi-part shows capture the pulse of people living their lives in the sweep of history. Her solo and ensemble play cycles have received numerous critical accolades, standing ovations, and awards in over 50 stage productions in the US and Europe. In addition, her works are published as novels (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Semiotext(e)), and broadcast as podcasts & radio plays (hosted by TAL’s Ira Glass). She is the recipient of the OBIE, Spalding Gray, NEA and Kennedy awards for playwriting and performance, as well as the C.O.L.A. (City of L.A.), awarded to individual artists for sustained achievement. Oscar-nominated director Debra Granik is adapting her episodic drama As the Globe Warms, as a multi-actor production.
Woodbury has taught master classes in solo performance, acting, storytelling and playwriting in numerous university programs. These includeTheatre and Performance Studies at University of Chicago, MFA Dramatic Writing program at U.N.M. Albuquerque and the MFA Storytelling program at East Tennessee University. She has given performances and lectures for students at Yale, Northwestern University, UCLA, and NYU and was twice Master-Artist-in-Residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts. She was Visiting Artist at Florida International University’s Theatre Department and Eminent Artist-in-Residence in 2012 at UC Riverside’s Department of Theatre, Film and Digital Production in 2018.
