LO NUEVO EN NYC
Una
mirada a la vida americana moderna desde la perspectiva de una familia
puertorriqueña. Un joven recientemente graduado de la universidad que se
siente alienado por su extravagante familia, hace planes para aceptar
un trabajo de periodismo en Turquía. Sus padres, sin embargo, tienen
planes diferentes para él, y durante un viaje a un casino al norte del
estado de Nueva York para celebrar su graduación y su cumpleaños número
21, se desata toda la controversia cuando miembros de la familia se
encuentran en desacuerdo sobre si deben apoyar o no su decisión.
Obra ganadora de la Competencia de Obras Latinas Nuestras Voces 2011 auspiciada por la Fundación MetLife.
* NEON BABY > Pregones Theater > Hasta Junio 2 > Neon.
Pregones is thrilled to announce a new world premiere musical play, born and bred by our award winning ensemble, right here in Da Bronx!
Inspired by the life of b-boy and muse Juan Rivera and the book Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring and Juanito Xtravaganza: Hard Tails by Arnaldo Cruz Malavé, NEON BABY is a funky new musical set in a mythical dance club called Paradise —inspired by the famed Paradise Garage— where runaway gay youths of color find the family and the courage to let their better selves shine through.
Two passions take center stage in the story: First, the passion of a mother praying from a distance for her son's safety and well-being in the big city, amidst the AIDS crisis. Second, the furious bond between the runaway boy, the city that seduces him, the man that breaks his heart, and and the strangers who welcome and cherish him as one of their own.
NEON BABY is a funkalicious story about the love of a mother for her son, a son for his mother, a boy for his sisters and brothers, blood family and chosen family, lovers and fighters — each and all hopeful and fierce and drunk with radiant music.
A lifting remembrance of New York City at the turn of the last century, and a love letter to the children who made that era truly legendary!

“In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic. The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’, their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Based
on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to
vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the
talented duo – playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas– that
brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The
House of the Spirits” in 2009.

LO NUEVO
* Back Tomorrow: Federico García Lorca / Poet in New York > New York Public Library > Hasta Julio 20 > Lorca.
In June 1929, at a time when young writers and painters dreamed of living in Paris, Federico García Lorca (1898–1936), Spain’s greatest modern poet and playwright, broke boldly with tradition and sailed for New York. His nine months here, followed by three months in Havana, changed his vision of poetry, the theater, and the social role of the artist.
Lorca came to New York to study English but devoted himself instead to writing Poet in New York, a howl of protest against racial bigotry, mindless consumption, and the adoration of technology. “What we call civilization, he called slime and wire,” the critic V. S. Pritchett once wrote. But Lorca’s book reaches beyond New York—“this maddening, boisterous Babel”—into the depths of the psyche, in a search for wholeness and redemption.
In 1936, the poet left the manuscript of Poet in New York on the desk of his Madrid publisher with a note saying he would be “back tomorrow,” probably to discuss final details. He never returned. Weeks later, at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, he was brutally murdered by fascist elements in Granada, his body thrown into an unmarked mass grave. The book was published posthumously in 1940, but the manuscript mysteriously disappeared, lost to scholars for decades. The Fundación Federico García Lorca in Madrid and The New York Public Library exhibit it now for the first time, together with drawings, photographs, letters, and mementos—traces of a Poet in New York . . . and of New York in a poet.

Rendering of the Seagream Building in Alexandre Arrechea's
2013 No Limits series for Park Avenue Malls. |
Playing
on the idea of elastic architecture as a metaphor for the challenges
and opportunities of shifting conditions and new realities, No Limits
will present 10 massive sculptures embodying New York's most prominent
buildings. Iconic landmarks represented will include: the Chrysler
Building, Citicorp Center, Empire State Building, Flatiron building,
Helmsley Building, MetLife Building, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Tower, Seagram Building, Sherry Netherland, and US Courthouse. The
sculptures, which will appear to roll, wind, and spin their way down
Park Avenue from 53rd to 67th Street, will reach towering heights of up
to 20 feet.
Throughout
his work, artist Alexandre Arrechea uses sculpture, watercolor and
video to ponder the idea of destabilizing traditional concepts held
about icons and their function in society. The art is meant to create a
dialogue with the public that raises questions of control, power,
surveillance and one's role within these categories. Through iconic
architectural buildings and urban spaces, Arrechea plays and entices the
viewer to explore this concept.

* Xul Solar and Jorge Luis Borges: The Art of Friendship > Abril 18 - Julio 20 > Americas Society Gallery > ASG.
This will be the first solo exhibition in New York dedicated to painter, writer, and occultist Xul Solar, born Oscar Agustín Alejandro Schulz Solari (1887-1963). The show will offer an in-depth examination of the public and private aspects of Solar's long friendship and vigorous exchange of ideas with famed writer and fellow Argentine Jorge Luis Borges. The central concept of the exhibition will explore how a friendship—a private, intimate affair—can affect public cultural and intellectual discourse. Solar and Borges' influences on each other led to groundbreaking artistic work produced by them individually and collaboratively. The exhibition will feature a selection of Xul Solar's exquisite early paintings as well as collaborative publications, translations, objects, and artistic interventions in books by the two friends. Public programs will include cross-disciplinary events and a panel discussion featuring Maria Kodama, Sergio Baur, Patricia Artundo, and Silvia Molloy, as well as poetry readings by Lila Zemborain and Cecilia Vicuña. Americas Society will also produce a fully illustrated publication to accompany the exhibition.
Solar and Borges met in 1924 after both had independently traveled throughout Europe where they spent a decade after World War I, and returned to Buenos Aires just when a literary and artistic avant-garde movement was beginning to take hold. They were part of the circle of writers and artists associated with the avant-garde magazine Martin Fierro, which was active until 1927. The martinfierristas were part of the Argentine generation whose artistic and political efforts were focused on defining and exploring their national identity through cosmopolitan means. They embraced a universal identity linked to Europe, but also sought to establish a uniquely Argentine national identity grounded in the rural mythology of the gauchos, the iconic Argentine cattlemen. These concepts are central to Borges' early work. Solar's paintings include a number of nationalist symbols dating back to pre-Hispanic times as well as words from two languages he invented to be Argentine, yet universal. Another major theme in Solar’s work is spiritualism and fantasy. He developed a method of painting with watercolors and crayons which he used to create colorful and fantastical works that blended metaphysical ideas about the invisible world with his interests in constructing a national identity and reinventing language.
* Darned Bodies : Josefina Concha > Hasta Mayo 11 > Galería Praxis Art > Concha.
Nature
is the main source of inspiration: its resemblance to the human body,
the exuberance of color and form, the vulnerability of live matter, the
visual and symbolic richness of the elements, these are the subjects
which inspire this body of work. By accumulation and saturation, the
thread acquires volume, giving birth to tridimensional forms and
infinite shades of color.
The sowing hands don’t try to control the shapes that they create, they become guardians of their quiet growth through the darning, allowing chance to intervene in the process.
ALSO: TIMETRACES > Esteban Pastorino > Mayo 16 - Junio 22.
Pastorino’s photos display the coexistence of technique, the conjuring-up of childhood, the doubt regarding the veracity of the original subject and a call to reflection on the scenery that surrounds us. Ultimately, they stand as a proposal to distort the representation based on cameras and lenses which provide a high level of hyperrealism and manage to achieve a high level of fiction. Every attempt to encompass and unveil what the human eye cannot see, drives us further away from reality. Thus, the stereoscopic techniques turn landscapes into unreal sceneries in which the first aspect that becomes visible is their theatricality. From this viewpoint, Pastorino’s work is in line with the perception of reality as an imitation upheld by postmodernism, maintains the allure of images and allows us to go a step beyond mere technical spectacularity, setting us into that territory of artifice, dreams and visions cherished by the Baroque. It even gives a twist to the famous statement by the American photographer Gary Winogrand, which has become a motto for many artists: “I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs”. Pastorino seems to follow Oscar Wilde’s words, “The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible”, down to the smallest detail. A suitable point of view or the right equipment will suffice to represent it as something alien to our inertial perception of things.

* superreal: alternative realities in photography and video > Museo de El Barrio > Hasta Mayo 19 > superreal.
This
exhibition explores the layered meanings and interpretations of the
real as it is represented in photography and video art. Drawing on the
presentation of the landscape, the human figure, the world of
architecture, various objects and natural phenomena, these images
explore alternative realities despite their use of the photographic or
video image, traditionally understood as a reflection of actuality.
superreal features works that challenge the notion of the camera’s lens
as presenting visual accuracy and explores the subversion of narrative
form, the creation of a parallel reality, surreal or super-real
encounters with objects, people and environments. Partial, hidden, or
enigmatic meanings are explored by the artists gathered here. Iconic
works by significant photographers and video artists are included along
with newer works by younger artists. The incisive points of view and
varied methodologies seen here allow the artists to create works that
explore the limits of narrative form and its relationship to reality.
The works, ranging in dates from the early 1960s to the present, reveal
the various ways in which the real is emphasized and subverted, revealed
and obscured.

in his own time as a "monarch" of painting, Piero della Francesca
(1411/13–1492) is acknowledged today as a founding figure of the Italian
Renaissance. The Frick Collection will present the first monographic
exhibition in the United States dedicated to the artist. It brings
together seven works by Piero della Francesca, including six panels from
the Sant'Agostino altarpiece — the largest number from this masterwork
ever reassembled. They will be joined by the Virgin and Child Enthroned

POST TENEBRAS LUX

Solo tienen poco más de una semana para ver POST TENEBRAS LUX, la última película del mexicano Carlos Reygadas, en el Film Forum de Nueva York. POST TENEBRAS LUX le valió a Reygadas el premio a Mejor Director en el Festival de Cannes 2012. Estén atentos en las principales ciudades del país que les llegará en los próximos meses!.
El lenguaje y la estética de Reygadas le ganará más adeptos entre los que buscan lo mejor del cine de autor. POST TENEBRAS LUX me dió una experiencia primaria fuerte, ayudada por una maravillosa fotografía, uso de luz y de cámara. Un encuentro cercano con la condición humana en los vericuetos del ser. GRANDE, REYDADAS!.
About: Ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, POST TENEBRAS LUX ("light after darkness") is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas's real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle as thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers' bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition.
Carlos Reygadas (SILENT LIGHT and JAPON) won the Best Director prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival with POST TENEBRAS LUX.

Con más de 20 años haciendo salsa 'de la buena', la banda Bio Ritmo se impone más y más como uno de los mejores exponentes del ritmo. Nos visitaron en el SOB's durante su gira para promocionar La Verdad, su último disco (pueden ver > La Verdad ).
Aquí los tienen con la canción Sombras.
About: Some call Bio Ritmo salsa's best-kept secret, but that is changing. Though still not on everyone's radar, during the last twenty years they have been busy releasing critically acclaimed music and cultivating a solid fanbase.
Here you have them performing SOMBRAS at SOB's, one of NYc's Latin music hangout par excellence.

La muestra Xul Solar and Jorge Luis Borges: The Art of Friendship examina la influencia mutua entre estos dos artistas argentinos y busca explorar cómo una amistad tal puede afectar el discurso tanto público como cultural e intelectual . La muestra está abierta hasta el 20 de Julio en la Galería de Americas Society.
This will be the first solo exhibition in New York dedicated to painter, writer, and occultist Xul Solar, born Oscar Agustín Alejandro Schulz Solari (1887-1963). The show will offer an in-depth examination of the public and private aspects of Solar's long friendship and vigorous exchange of ideas with famed writer and fellow Argentine Jorge Luis Borges. The central concept of the exhibition will explore how a friendship—a private, intimate affair—can affect public cultural and intellectual discourse. Solar and Borges' influences on each other led to groundbreaking artistic work produced by them individually and collaboratively. The exhibition will feature a selection of Xul Solar's exquisite early paintings as well as collaborative publications, translations, objects, and artistic interventions in books by the two friends. Public programs will include cross-disciplinary events and a panel discussion featuring Maria Kodama, Sergio Baur, Patricia Artundo, and Silvia Molloy, as well as poetry readings by Lila Zemborain and Cecilia Vicuña. Americas Society will also produce a fully illustrated publication to accompany the exhibition.
Solar and Borges met in 1924 after both had independently traveled throughout Europe where they spent a decade after World War I, and returned to Buenos Aires just when a literary and artistic avant-garde movement was beginning to take hold. They were part of the circle of writers and artists associated with the avant-garde magazine Martin Fierro, which was active until 1927. The martinfierristas were part of the Argentine generation whose artistic and political efforts were focused on defining and exploring their national identity through cosmopolitan means. They embraced a universal identity linked to Europe, but also sought to establish a uniquely Argentine national identity grounded in the rural mythology of the gauchos, the iconic Argentine cattlemen. These concepts are central to Borges' early work. Solar's paintings include a number of nationalist symbols dating back to pre-Hispanic times as well as words from two languages he invented to be Argentine, yet universal. Another major theme in Solar’s work is spiritualism and fantasy. He developed a method of painting with watercolors and crayons which he used to create colorful and fantastical works that blended metaphysical ideas about the invisible world with his interests in constructing a national identity and reinventing language.

El Retrato de Francisco I d'Este, una de las pinturas menos conocida de Velázquez, estará por primera vez en los Estados Unidos en el Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York hasta el 14 de Julio. La pintura estará en exhibición como parte de la nueva re-instalación de la Colección de 'Old Masters' del museo.
Velázquez (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez) (Spanish, 1599–1660). Duke Francesco I d'Este, 1638. Oil on canvas. Galleria Estense, Modena © su concessione del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali.
Among the most distinctive portraits by Diego Velázquez is one he painted of Francesco I d'Este (1610–58), the Duke of Modena, during the duke's visit to Madrid in 1638 to secure the support of Philip IV. The duke is shown in armor, wearing a red sash, his head turned toward the viewer. It is a work that conveys a quality of arrogance and sensuality, and is a high watermark in the history of baroque portraiture, while also illustrating the importance of Velázquez's portraits to Spanish diplomacy. In 1843 the painting was acquired by the Galleria Estense—one of the most prestigious of Italy's regional museums—in Modena, Italy, and it has never before been lent to an institution in the United States. This special, three-month loan coincides with the re-installation of the Metropolitan's collection of Old Master paintings. It not only makes accessible to an American public one of the least known of Velázquez's works, but also calls attention to the severe damage suffered throughout the Italian region of Emilia Romagna after a devastating earthquake in May 2012. The Galleria Estense has been temporarily closed due to the damage it sustained.

El Museo de Brooklyn presenta a la artista Marela Zacarias en la segunda temporada de Raw/Cooked. La artista, de origen mexicano y residenciada en Brooklyn, ha creado 4 esculturas inspiradas en los murales de Williamsburg uniendo así su interés en las formas abstractas, la historia de los objetos y la renovación urbana. La muestra cierra este 28 de Abril.
The second season of Raw/Cooked presents a series of four exhibitions by under-the-radar Brooklyn artists who have been invited by the Brooklyn Museum with support from Bloomberg to show their first major museum exhibitions. The artists are given the opportunity to work with the Museum’s collection and to display in spaces of their choosing, however unconventional.
The four artists in the series were recommended by an advisory board of well-known Brooklyn artists, including Michael Joo, Paul Ramírez Jonas, Amy Sillman, and Mickalene Thomas, each of whom proposed several promising artists. Brooklyn Museum curator Eugenie Tsai made the final selections.
The seventh exhibition in the Raw/Cooked series, titledSupple Beat, presents the work of Gowanus-based artist Marela Zacarias. Recommended by Ramírez Jonas, Zacarias has created four site-specific sculptural works inspired by the Williamsburg Murals, uniting her interests in abstract forms, the history of objects, and urban renewal. Her large-scale pieces appear to be climbing the walls of the Museum’s first-floor lobby and Great Hall, interacting with the architecture as if they were murals come to life. Zacarias draws on the concept of resilience implied by the Williamsburg Murals and explores the idea of bouncing back from adversity, relating to the history of the public housing project for which the murals were commissioned and the history of the works themselves. She constructs her unique sculptural forms from window screens and joint compound, which she then paints with original patterns. In Supple Beat, Zacarias’s patterns are inspired by the related murals’ unique color palettes and geometric forms. Born and raised in Mexico City, Zacarias has painted more than thirty large-scale public murals. She holds an MFA from Hunter College.
