Tour: El Anatsui’s Broken Bridge II

2013-05-15T00:00:00.000

18:30

19:30

The meeting location will be provided in the confirmation email following your ticket purchase.

<p> Join Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Curator &amp; Director of High Line Art, and Kevin Dumouchelle, Associate Curator for the Arts of Africa and the Pacific Islands at the Brooklyn Museum, for a walking tour of the High Line and hear the story behind <em>Broken Bridge II</em>, the monumental sculpture by West African artist El Anatsui installed on an exterior building wall between West 21st and West 22nd Streets.</p><p> Considered one of the foremost contemporary artists of his generation, El Anatsui is known for his intricate sculptures, which are made of recycled materials mostly collected near his home in Nigeria. Much of the artist&rsquo;s work consists of metallic bottle caps, which are culled from discarded Nigerian liquor bottles and woven together with copper wire. These three-dimensional paintings evoke the economic and cultural traditions and histories of West Africa, and the artist&#39;s choice of materials engages viewers to reflect on the role that consumer waste plays in changing the parameters of globalization.</p><p> For the High Line, the artist has created Broken Bridge II, an awe-inspiring sculpture that is his largest work to date. Originally shown in Paris during the 2012 Triennale, this ambitious artwork has been reconfigured for its unique location at the High Line, and creates a stunning visual of wave-like patterns and folds, evoking traditional practices of tapestry weaving, while reflecting the surrounding landscape of the High Line.</p><p> This High Line Program is open to visitors of all ages. Purchase tickets below.</p><p></p>

Hear the story behind El Anatsui’s Broken Bridge II, the park’s largest outdoor art installation, during a walking tour led by High Line Art and the Brooklyn Museum.

Tour of Gracie Mansion

2018-06-25T00:00:00.000

17:00

17:50

<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.</p><p>In celebration of our&nbsp;75th Anniversary of Gracie being a mayoral residence, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;<em>New York&nbsp;1942</em>. This is the second in a series of installations envisioning New York through the framework of Gracie Mansion as it has been inhabited over time. It includes artwork, documents and objects from the period that the La Guardias lived in Gracie, shown together to tell a more complete story of the overall historic context as perceived from diverse perspectives.</p><p><strong>Tour Reservations</strong></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. No photography permitted in the interior. At the present time, tours are available in English only. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes in advance.</p>

Enter Marcus Garvey Park at Fifth Avenue and 124th Street. Follow the walkway southwest and you will find the amphitheater. The Amphitheater seats 1800 people on a first come basis.

<p>Classical Theatre of Harlem&#39;s Antigone is an Afropunk inspired work featuring the voice of a defiant woman that challenges patriarchal society.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Set in the city of Thebes in a dystopian future, the struggle for power, glory and the claim to the city shatters the bonds of brotherhood, leaving two men lifeless. The new king proclaims one brother a hero and the other a usurper, leaving his limp body lying in the street as an example to those who dare act against the state. The citizens of the city avert their eyes due to fear, turning instead to their new leader who vows to restore order to the war torn city. But when the sister of the slain young brothers protests the edict, she breaks faith with everything she has ever known in order to set things right at any cost.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
