Exhibition, Benjamin Swett: New York City of Trees

2013-03-08T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

NRQ to 5th Ave/59th Street station

<p> The photography exhibition <em>New York City of Trees</em> by <strong>Benjamin Swett </strong>is on view in the Arsenal Gallery from March 6 through April 26 (Arbor Day and Frederick Law Olmsted&rsquo;s birthday). Twenty-eight color portraits of trees around the five boroughs take the viewer up close to some of the extraordinary species that grow along the streets and in the parks, cemeteries, gardens, and backyards of the city. On view in the Arsenal Gallery from March 6 through April 26 (Arbor Day and Frederick Law Olmsted&rsquo;s birthday), the images have been selected from Swett&rsquo;s forthcoming book <em>New York City of Trees</em>, to be released by the Quantuck Lane Press on March 6.</p><p> After working at Parks for thirteen years, Swett left in 2001 to pursue a career as a freelance photographer but continued to photograph New York City&rsquo;s urban forest, fascinated by the connections between trees and the city&rsquo;s history. &ldquo;We know that trees improve living conditions in cities by filtering and cooling the air, absorbing excess rainwater, and making neighborhoods more attractive,&rdquo; writes Swett. &ldquo;But little has been said about the importance of trees as keepers of a city&rsquo;s past. The aim in taking these pictures&mdash;aside from taking the best photographs I could&mdash;was to try to bring back into focus an aspect of the city that most people tend to take for granted until something happens to it. The idea has been to remind New Yorkers how much of their own lives and the lives of neighbors these trees quietly contain.&rdquo;</p><p> This project was partially funded through a grant from Furthermore: a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, with additional support from the City Parks Foundation.</p>

<p>Join us for a back-stairs tour of the Merchant&rsquo;s House and explore the world of the Irish immigrants who worked as domestic servants for the Tredwell family.</p><p>You&rsquo;ll climb the narrow staircase to the fourth-floor servants&rsquo; quarters and see where the Tredwells&rsquo; four Irish servants lived and did some of their work, &ldquo;arguably the oldest intact site of Irish habitation in New York City&rdquo; (Time Out New York). In the kitchen, you&rsquo;ll meet 19-year-old Bridget Murphy&nbsp;who worked for the Tredwells in the 1850s. What did the servants do on their day off? Where did they shop? Where did they go&nbsp;to church? How did they find employment when they first arrived? Bridget will tell you why it would have been impossible to run a home like the Merchant&rsquo;s House without her.</p>

Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life &ndash; a roof over his head, the clothes on his back, and his ever faithful pet cat. One day when lamenting his poor lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his cat stands up, begins talking and introduces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to Fergus that he is very intelligent and well traveled, and even&nbsp;has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation.&nbsp;With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey.&nbsp;Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!</p>

Landmark at Socrates Sculpture Park

20:00

<p>Marking Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents <em>Landmark</em>, a series of artist commissions and projects that transforms the land both physically and symbolically. Once an industrial landfill and illegal dumping ground, Socrates has transformed itself into New York City&rsquo;s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. <em>Landmark</em> directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.</p><p><em>Landmark</em> features eight different artist projects including a newly commissioned major earthwork by Meg Webster. Additional artists in the exhibition include Abigail DeVille, Brendan Fernandes, Cary Leibowitz, Jessica Segall, Casey Tang, the curatorial collective ARTPORT_making waves, and a&nbsp;Broadway Billboard&nbsp;by Hank Willis Thomas. Since its inception in 1986, Socrates and the surrounding area of Queens, New York has rapidly changed. Whether by engaging directly with the land or commenting on the neighborhood&rsquo;s cultural and economic shifts, each artwork in <em>Landmark&nbsp;</em>reflects historic transformations in the making.</p>

Erik Benson: The Park

2013-05-13T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

Erik Benson&rsquo;s paintings depict the landscape of everyday metropolitan life, created with thousands of shapes hand-cut from dried sheets of acrylic paint. Benson uses this painstaking compositional technique to capture the complexity of urban development, with its interplay of construction and creative destruction, density and emptiness. Familiar cityscapes emerge as more complex than they initially appear.<p> Originally I was interested in creating a painting vocabulary that depicted the plasticity and temporality of unexamined things such as playgrounds and construction sites,&rdquo; says Benson. &ldquo;These interests have been growing into ideas and concerns that deal with the urban landscape, such as how cities grow and shrink, and what these issues mean to the inhabitants.&rdquo;</p><p> In these vivid new paintings, Benson considers the role and impact of playgrounds, trees and parks within evolving communities, often setting the saturated colors and bold shapes of play equipment and dynamic tree branch patterns against the muted backdrops of the surrounding buildings. Inspired by his neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn, he creates works that are not precise representations, but rather archetypes, at once foreboding and optimistic.</p>
