Art this weekend
Art — change
VIKA KIRCHENBAUER PGM 1
Six experimental shorts by Vika Kirchenbauer, from a seductive address out of a black void to a work on tickling, with memory, state power and invisibility in between. She attends in person.
Art Dialogues: Bellini's "St. Francis in the Desert"
One painting, one long look. A museum educator leads a conversation with fellow attendees in the galleries, with Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert as the focus and everyone encouraged to join in.
Studio Salon: Primary: After and With Alma Thomas
A conversation and reading built around Primary: After and With Alma Thomas, a book on the painter. It's part of the museum's own Studio Salon series, held on The Stoop.
The History of Concrete
Listed as a visual arts event, with a plain, curious title that takes the story of concrete seriously. It's at Syndicated Bar Theater Kitchen, so a drink and a bite are close by.
VIKA KIRCHENBAUER PGM 2
Four short films by Vika Kirchenbauer take on the art economy, from diversity as cultural currency to the colonial money behind early public exhibitions. The filmmaker attends in person.
Block by Block: Streetscapes
Stoops and streetscapes from the Greenest Block in Brooklyn winners, rebuilt on the garden's grounds and co-created with the gardeners who grew them. Plenty of ideas for your own stoop.
Ancestral Ecologies
Four multisensory installations from the Heidi Nitze Art × Environment Fellows, each using a different environmental or material phenomenon to explore animist ways of seeing the living world.
SI OFFSITE | Rafał Skoczek: Kino Drift
Marching with the Kasama plays beside two related films, in a project that folds exchanges with audiences and militants into how the material is interpreted and distributed.
