With this mixed-media installation, Kelli Rae Adams calls attention to the magnitude and urgency of the student debt crisis in the U.S. Utilizing several hundred handmade ceramic bowls, a quantity of steadily accumulating coins and a wall-hanging triptych composed of dollar bills, Adams renders legible the physical volume of this collective burden while also shining light on the insidious practical and psychological implications of educational debt.

2019 marks thirty years since the cancellation of The Perfect Moment: Photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. And in this new perfect moment, this appealing anniversary wrapped neatly in black and white, it is easy to draw a line directly from the present back to one point in the past. However, when time is compressed as such, what happens to the in-between? From the Margins aims to examine the foreclosure presented by Mapplethorpe’s legacy by pivoting towards Glenn Ligon’s response to Mapplethorpe. In this way, Ligon’s Notes On the Margins of the Black Book serves as a guide to generating critique.
In addition to the sixteen artists on view, From the Margins includes a resource library and a fully illustrated catalog with over ten contributors.

“Spectacular holes in clouds, spotted”: Visiting Artist and Scholars Committee Lecture by Lisa Blas
Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019
6:30 p.m.
The Visiting Artists and Scholars Committee (VASC) will be hosting its first lecture by Lisa Blas, an American visual artist of Guamanian-Italian origin based in New York. Working in painting, photography and installation, she creates constellations that speak to recurrent environmental catastrophe and civil unrest — where the afterlife of images occupies the space of everyday life. Blas constructs her palette with transparent and reflective colors grounded in the light of Southern California, the region of her childhood and formation as an artist.

Exhibition Design Fall 2019 Lecture: EXHIBITIONS AT HOME
Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2019
6:30 – 8 p.m.
The history of exhibiting art has a long-standing relationship with domestic space from upscale salons to the apartment gallery, where one was accustomed to discerning between art and everyday objects, moldings and reliefs, and in rooms of various sizes, lighting conditions and decorative styles. This relationship commingled the informal with the formal, the personal with the public, the intimate with the spectacular — creating an interwoven relationship between audience and home, art and the private interior.

STOP KISS
By Diana Son
Directed by
Matthew R. Wilson
Oct. 17, 18, 19
at 7:30 p.m.;
Oct. 20 at 2 p.m.
West Village. 1998. Sara and Callie form a rapid, unexpected bond. But, when their first awkward kiss is met with a violent attack, they and those around them are united in ways they could never imagine and can never undo. A modern tale of cosmopolitan ambiguity, of belonging and erasure, and of love how you least expect it, Diane Son's Stop Kiss is an unabashed look at struggles of queer identity and longings for connection.
Stop Kiss shines a light on themes of assault and homophobia.
