Third floor

<p><em>Plant Patterns</em> features the work of Adam Frezza &amp; Terri Chiao, Adrienne Elise Tarver, Karin Haas, Liesl Pfeffer, and Nick Wildermuth. The artists use plants&rsquo; impressive natural characteristics as a means to explore various themes in their graphic works. Domestic and wild flora have provided artists with inspiration for centuries. The diversity and multitude of plant colors, shapes, and repetitive forms, which evolved to lure pollinators, caution predators, and promote regeneration, are naturally appealing to artists&rsquo; sensibilities.</p><p>Curated by Jennifer Lantzas, Deputy Director of Public Art, NYC Parks</p>

Hudson Warehouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest

20:30

<p> <span class="title">Hudson Warehouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest</span><span> by Oscar Wilde</span>, Directed by <span class="dir">Nicholas Martin-Smith</span></p><p> A farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious person&aelig; in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play&#39;s major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.</p><p> The mission of Hudson Warehouse is to present the classics in exciting productions inspired by our past and relevant to our present day. We want to educate the novice and enthrall the well-versed. We embrace the traditional and innovative, the classical and the modern classic. Through the dedication, passion and intelligence of all our theater artists, we bring these works to life. When our work elicits a true emotional response from an audience member, this experience reaffirms that theatre is a &quot;ware&quot; that is essential to daily life.</p>

17:00

third floor

<p>The tension between mankind and Mother Nature has long been a disturbing battleground. There is a tendency to level the ground and bulldoze over anything in our way&mdash;often realizing after the fact that we built too big, too bold, and too quickly.</p><p>In &ldquo;Natural Impact,&rdquo; the new exhibit on view at NYC Parks&rsquo; Arsenal Gallery in Central Park, visual artists highlight the ingenuity and absurdity of this cycle through their work. Artists look at how nature sneaks back into our precisely constructed world and either softens the edges, or abruptly overwhelms them.</p><p>Curated by D. Dominick Lombardi, &ldquo;Natural Impact&rdquo; features a variety of mediums including painting, screenprints, and sculpture, from artists Tim Daly, Lina Puerta, Brant Moorefield, Cecilia Whittaker Doe, Dominick Rapone, and Jodie Mim Goodnough.</p><p>This exhibition is FREE and open to the public. For more information, please call (212) 360-8163.</p>

Exhibition by Ruth Marshall: Closely Knit: A Textile Analysis of Animals

2014-05-07T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

<p> <em>Closely Knit: A Textile Analysis of Animals</em> by Ruth Marshall brings attention to illegal wildlife trade and species loss in a way that unites a widened audience of scientists, art enthusiasts and the general public. Her life-size, knitted textile pelts of tigers, leopards, coral snakes and Australian marsupials exemplify how artisan goods have the potential to have higher commercial value than poached skins on the black market. Her textiles reinforce the ideology that support for conservation and culture is a more sustainable, viable and lucrative endeavor than the illegal wildlife trade.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> She has conducted research at the American Museum of Natural History, Melbourne Museum and the Berlin Zoo. For <em>Closely Knit</em>, Marshall studied Askai, Central Park Zoo&rsquo;s six-year-old male snow leopard and created a new knitted work based on his distinctive coat. &nbsp;The exhibition is staged in the historic Arsenal building, which housed a menagerie of gifted animals on the basement level from 1859 to 1871, and was the first home of the American Museum of Natural History from 1869 to 1877 before it moved to its current home on Manhattan&rsquo;s West Side.</p>

Closely Knit: A Textile Analysis of Animals by Ruth Marshall brings attention to illegal wildlife trade and species loss in a way that unites a widened audience.

Harbor View Lawn

<p> Join us for the 14th season of our free, outdoor film series! This year&#39;s theme, &quot;With Love From...&quot; tours cities from around the globe with a lineup of fantastic films.</p><p> DJs hit the stage at 6:00pm and movies begin at sundown.</p><p> LINEUP:</p><p> <strong>July 11 - <em>Ferris Bueller&#39;s Day Off</em></strong><br /> High School truant extraordinaire, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) plots to take one last grand day off before graduation, touring the streets on Chicago in a Ferrari &ldquo;borrowed&rdquo; from a friend&rsquo;s father while staying one step ahead of principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones). A master of capturing the trials and triumphs of teenage freedom, Director John Hughes blends satire, social commentary, and pure fun. [PG-13] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>Creep </em>by Sharif Anthony. <strong>DJ: </strong>Still Life<br /> <br /> <strong>July 18 - <em>Enter the Dragon</em></strong><br /> Under the guise of an international martial arts competition, Bruce Lee and partners John Saxon and Jim Kelly infiltrate the hidden island fortress of a powerful drug syndicate off the coast of Hong Kong. Perhaps the seminal Kung Fu film of the 1970&rsquo;s, Lee&rsquo;s final film features the martial arts master at the height of his career with superbly staged fight scenes in a variety of styles. [R] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>Catnip: Egress to Oblivion </em>by Jason Willis <strong>DJ: </strong>Hahn Solo<br /> <br /> <strong>July 25 - <em>Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</em></strong><br /> When young Charlie Bucket finds the final golden ticket wrapped inside a Wonka Bar, he is granted access to the secret mysteries of Mr. Wonka&rsquo;s (Gene Wilder) chocolate factory. The 1971 musical adaptation of Roald Dahl&rsquo;s classic children&rsquo;s book whisks five kids into a world of pure imagination complete with chocolate rivers, fizzy lifting drink, and singing Umpa Lumpas. [G] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>Irish Folk Furniture</em> by Tony Donoghue <strong>DJ: </strong>Ayres<br /> <br /> <strong>August 1 - <em>8 Mile</em></strong><br /> Rapper Eminem made his acting debut in this semi-autobiographical journey of a white kid trying to make it as a hip-hop artist in the bombed out heart of inner city Detroit. After freezing up during an important rap battle, the young rapper, Rabbit, thinks he is at a dead end, but his girlfriend (Britney Murphy) helps him build up the courage to take one last shot. [R] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>Until the Quiet Comes</em> by Kahlil Joseph <strong>DJ: </strong>Who Am I<br /> <br /> <strong>August 8 - <em>Roman Holiday</em></strong><br /> Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn) is an unsatisfied princess who, in an attempt to find her freedom, winds up stumbling into the apartment of reporter &ndash; and bachelor &ndash; Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). The two dodge her secret service guards all throughout the city while giving the Princess a taste of the real world. [NR] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>How She Slept At Night</em> by Lilli Carr&eacute; <strong>DJ: </strong>$mall &cent;hange<br /> <br /> <strong>August 15 - <em>Rocky</em></strong><br /> After the top boxing contender drops out, small time debt collector Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Set on the eve of the Philadelphian Bicentennial, Rocky took Hollywood by surprise, as the rags-to-riches classic creamed box offices and won the Academy Award for best picture, in addition to featuring one of film history&rsquo;s most iconic training montages. [PG] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>Marcel, King of Tervuren </em>by Tom Schroeder <strong>DJ: </strong>Emch<br /> <br /> <strong>August 22 - <em>Vertigo</em></strong><br /> Retired private eye, Scottie Ferguson (Jimmy Stewart) battles acrophobia in one final case, trailing the enchanting Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak). Hailed as one of Alfred Hitchcock&rsquo;s greatest works, winding through the streets of San Francisco in dazzlingly rich Technicolor, Vertigo weaves a dizzying story of love and obsession. [PG] <strong>Short film: </strong><em>My Favorite Picture of You </em>by Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin<em> </em><strong>DJ: </strong>Geko Jones<br /> <br /> <strong>August 29 - PUBLIC VOTE!</strong><br /> As is tradition, Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy and Syfy invite the public to vote on the last film of the summer starting on August 22. Check out the contenders below (rained-out films will also be entered into the running):</p><ul> <li> <em>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas</em><br /> Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) take on the spiraling psychedelic safari of 1970s Las Vegas on a savage journey to the heart of the American Dream. Terry Gilliam&rsquo;s highly stylized trip of a film captures all the whit, humor and horror of Hunter S. Thompson&rsquo;s classic work of Gonzo journalism. [R]</li> <li> <em>Good Will Hunting</em><br /> At one of Boston&rsquo;s top universities, MIT janitor Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is discovered after solving one of the schools most vexing math equations, but the future of this brilliant mind depends on the guidance of therapist Sean Maguire (Robin Williams). [R]</li> <li> <em>Lost in Translation</em><br /> Two lonely strangers, Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and Bob Harris (Bill Murray), forge a touching and unexpected friendship while adventuring through high-speed Tokyo in Sofia Coppola&rsquo;s Oscar-winning film. [R]</li></ul>

Tour of Gracie Mansion

<p>In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York&nbsp;City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home&nbsp;would be serving&nbsp;as the official residence of the First Family of New York City&mdash;a place where history is made, not merely recorded.</p><p>As a historic house museum run by NYC Parks, sitting on&nbsp;11 acres of grounds now known as&nbsp;Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor&nbsp;Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942.&nbsp;Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its&nbsp;doors in the spirit of the administration&#39;s motto: one city, rising together. In keeping with that theme, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;<em>Windows on the City: Looking&nbsp;Out at&nbsp;Gracie&rsquo;s New York</em>.&nbsp;The installation&nbsp;consists of previously and newly acquired works, all from&nbsp;the original Gracie Mansion period, which have been curated&nbsp;to create a more historically accurate picture of life in New York City during the time of Gracie Mansion&rsquo;s construction.</p><p>To RSVP for tour, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://on.nyc.gov/gracietour">on.nyc.gov/gracietour</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, Gracie Mansion is not offering group tours.&nbsp;If you are part of a private organization that would like to tour the house, please email your request, including the size of group, your name and the purpose of a tour, to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov">gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov</a>&nbsp;and we will work to add you to one of the currently scheduled tours.</p><p>Photo ID required for entrance.
