LABA PresentsDRUNK Other Wine: A Night of Art, Drinking, and Torah at the 14th Street Y January 12, 2017 at 7:30pm Tickets: labajournal.com/drunk

NEW YORK: What could be more pleasant and liberating than being intoxicated, and what could at times be more horrid? Are we, by drinking, allowing our "other side" to manifest itself in the open? What happens when we find this "other side" too scary - or perhaps more dangerously, too attractive? All this, and more at DRUNK, LABA's annual art and study fest subtitled Other Wine: A Night of Art, Drinking, and Torah on January 12, 2017 at 7:30pm at The Theater at the 14th Street Y 344 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003. The intoxicating pairing of fine wine and ancient Jewish text are jolted to life by the contemporary artistic works of this year's LABA fellows at DRUNK.  Sommelier and wine merchant for V.O.S. Selections, Ronald Jordan,ancient text scholar and winner of the 2015 "Sapir Prize" for Hebrew Literature. Reuben Namdar, and 10 LABA Fellowswill take us through a four course exploration of text and art, present  and future, intoxication and cultural clarity.  It is through this dichotomy, that we discover the essence of LABA's DRUNK.  Throughout the evening, the 14th Street Y LABA Fellow's work will share an artistic response to the curated wine and provocative Jewish texts. As Fellows explore the theme of OTHER we wonder, can wine be divine? Can wine be demonic? "There is so much stimulation from these texts and this is an intellectual setting to explore them; I encourage you to taste the wines and taste the texts," said Muszkatblit, attaching a poeticism to the parallels between the literary richness of the passages and the complex flavors of the wines."  -NY Blueprint In a celebration of the Fellow's many artistic disciplines, each artist will have an individual response to "otherness" which is expressed through their own artistic process and unique aesthetic.  Performances range from Israeli folk dance to a film on relationships, to the inner monologue of Noah's wife, to drunken identities investigating gender. DRUNK takes the audience member through an immersive experience as they taste wine, watch performances, and learn the text that inspired the evening.  There will be nudity in this performance. Once the work of the LABA Fellows has concluded, the night continues with more wine, bites, at a post-show reception and curated Silent Auction featuring fabulous items from the world of wine and beyond as well as .

Reaching back into our earliest memories to find the origins of shame, desire, and difference. FRANNY SILVERMAN "That's What She Said" Brief musings on Noah's complicated relationship with leadership, family, and adult beverages from the woman who was there through it all. KEREN MOSCOVITCH "TOO DRUNK TO MAN UP" This film explores gender, performance and intimacy in an age of deconstruction. A drunken text, devised by drunken identities and read through drunken bodies. We will investigate excess, confusion and carnal hermeneutics. ELENA GREENFIELD "There is Wine, and There is Wine (The "Other Side")" Before Babel we lived in a linguistic Eden; utterance, synergy, potency. After Babel we drink and lip sync. With Lizzie Olesker and Eric Borlaug. GORDON HABER "Drunken Rice"  Excerpts from an as-yet-unnamed story that explores otherness through a Jewish infantryman in combat in the Korean War. HADAR AHUVIA "Everything you have is yours?"  We'll begin teaching the Israeli folk dance 'My Beloved is Mine'.

EMILY DICKINSON IN LIFE AND POETRY IS THE SUBJECT OF A MAJOR EXHIBITION AT THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM

EMILY DICKINSON IN LIFE AND POETRY IS
THE SUBJECT OF A MAJOR EXHIBITION
AT THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM

I’m Nobody! Who are you? The Life and Poetry of Emily Dickinson
January 20 through May 21, 2017

**Press Preview: Thursday, January 19, 10–11:30 am**
RSVP: media@themorgan.org

  

New York, NY, December 13, 2016 — One of the most popular and enigmatic American writers of the nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) wrote almost 1,800 poems. Nevertheless, her work was essentially unknown to contemporary readers since only a handful of poems were published during her lifetime and a vast trove of her manuscripts was not discovered until after her death in 1886.  

Often typecast as a recluse who rarely left her Amherst home, Dickinson was, in fact, socially active as a young woman and maintained a broad network of friends and correspondents even as she grew older and retreated into seclusion. Bringing together nearly one hundred rarely seen items, including manuscripts and letters, I’m Nobody: Who are you?—a title taken from her popular poem—is the most ambitious exhibition on Dickinson to date. It explores a side of her life that is seldom acknowledged: one filled with rich friendships and long-lasting relationships with mentors and editors.  

The exhibition closely examines twenty-four poems in various draft states, with corresponding audio stops.  In addition to her writings, the show also features an array of visual material, including hand-cut silhouettes, photographs and daguerreotypes, contemporary illustrations, and other items that speak to the rich intellectual and cultural environment in which Dickinson lived and worked. The exhibition is organized in conjunction with Amherst College. 

“Emily Dickinson’s work—and life—remain endlessly compelling to literary scholars and to the larger artistic community,” said Colin B. Bailey, director of the Morgan Library & Museum. “With its experimental poetics and vivid language, her verse continues to be a source of critical inquiry, while her quiet, unassuming years in Amherst are celebrated in music, theatre, and the cinema. The Morgan’s exhibition explores a less well-known aspect of her life—her personal and professional friendships—that will surely delight and surprise exhibition-goers.”

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents the North American premiere of Silencio Blanco's

SILENCIO BLANCO CHIFLÓN, EL SILENCIO DEL CARBÓN   January 19-22, 2017

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents the North American premiere of Silencio Blanco's dramatic production of Chiflón, El Silencio del Carbón (Chiflón, Silence of the Coal), based in part on the writings by distinguished Chilean author Baldomero Lillo. Devised over two years during trips to the mining town of Lota in Chile, Chiflón confronts the intertwined histories of mining and the labor class.  The performance follows a young miner, forced to leave his home after a coal mine collapses. His only chance to keep working is to head to the area of Chiflón de Diablo, known as one of the most dangerous places a miner can work in Chile. Chiflón features hand-constructed marionettes, and is performed with a minimal sonic score and no dialogue so as to connect with audiences through a common theatrical language without cultural, age, or social barriers. Silencio Blanco's Chiflón, El Silencio del Carbón takes place January 19-22, 2017 at MCA Stage, and opens the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival. Based in Santiago, Chile, the artists from Silencio Blanco are known for their handmade puppets, modeled using newspaper. In the montage, human sensations are represented through everyday situations and familiar gestural movements, telling a universal story of humanity in the face of adversity. Bunraku and marionette puppeteers create a powerful illusion that their puppets are human characters.   The company was formed in 2010 by media artists Santiago Tobar and Dominga Gutiérrez, who met while students at the legendary Theater School of the University of Chile. The current group is made up of seven puppet artists and sound artist-composer Ricardo Pacheco. They work collaboratively and to date have created three full-length works, De Papel, Pescador, andChiflón, employing puppets and more recently, film. Tobar serves as artistic director and head puppet maker. Prior to forming Silencio Blanco with Gutiérrez, Tobar was master puppeteer with Compañía Teatro Milagros, collaborating with artistic director-designer Aline Kuppenheim in the company's award-winning multimedia works El Capote and Sobre la Cuerda Floja (Over the Tightrope).   TICKET INFORMATION Chiflón, El Silencio del Carbón runs 50 minutes and takes place Thursday-Saturday, January 19-21, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, January 22, at 3 pm. Tickets are $30. Tickets are available at the MCA Box Office at 312.397.4010 or www.mcachicago.org. #fineartmagazine

Interesting Basalt Metate Jaguar Barakat Gallery

Basalt Metate in the form of Jaguar 6.375 inches (16.2cm) high x 9.5 inches (24.1cm) wide 1st Century AD to 5th Century AD This exquisite ceremonial metate was the most important ritual object of its time. Serving as a special  purpose, high-status grave offering, its function as a metate was secondary to its form. There is no  evidence of its use as a grinding surface, for the rough interior area of the stone bowl has not been  smoothed by the use of a mano. In fact, this powerful object, when placed in a tomb, represented both  elite control over food production and the promise of rebirth and new life.  The jaguar form of the metate is almost modern in its dynamism. Its head and tail are incised with a  geometric pattern, perhaps representing the animal's spots. The long tail, which curves to the side and  attaches itself to the back leg, gives an appearance of swift side-to-side movement. The fierce looking  N- shaped incisors and teeth, coupled with the curved shape of the legs makes one expect to see the  animal move forward, adding an attribute of life to this stone feline. The creative artistry evidenced in this  piece and other ceremonial metates of its time contributed to the creation of the first freestanding  sculpture in the region. The legacy of this jaguar continues into the present for its power and beauty is  still a joy to behold. For more details or further reading please click on the image above.
