Art Exhibition - Notched Bodies: Insects In Contemporary Art

2013-09-13T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

Third floor gallery

<p> This exhibition features eleven contemporary artists who offer probing personal interpretations on the importance of insects through a variety of media: Brandon Balleng&eacute;e, Joianne Bittle, Rebecca Clark, Emilie Clark, Talia Greene, Asuka Hishiki, Julian Montague, Lisa Murch, Julia Oldham, Christy Rupp, and Ben Snead. The show is curated by Jennifer Lantzas, NYC Parks&rsquo; Public Art Coordinator.</p><p> This exhibition takes its name from ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle&rsquo;s classification of insects by their similar traits: six legs and clearly segmented or &ldquo;notched&rdquo; bodies. &nbsp;Humans have had a long and complex relationship with insects. Their alien appearance can be jarring or off-putting, but upon closer inspection insects are works of art. They are often seen as pests or invaders; however, their critical role in our ecosystem and daily lives is increasingly clear as urban farming, gardening, and the impact of syndromes like Colony Collapse Disorder become prevalent. Insects are keen indicators of the health of our environment. They help break down and decompose rotting materials, which reintroduces rich nutrients into the soil.&nbsp; They are also the first line of defense against invasive plants and other harmful insects.</p><p> Located on the Arsenal lawn, Brandon Balleng&eacute;e&rsquo;s outdoor light installation creates interactions between nocturnal arthropods and humans. In the gallery, Joianne Bittle&rsquo;s <em>Goliath Beetle</em> is removed from his natural surroundings and placed on a gold background, referencing religious icons from the Byzantine era. A botanic wallpaper installation by Talia Greene is inhabited by a colony of weaver ants, illustrating our vain attempts to impose order on the natural world. Faux books and records designed by Julian Montague document the hypothetical history of pest control. In her videos, Julia Oldham translates insects&rsquo; behaviors into choreographed performances. Ben Snead paints insects in geometric patterns&mdash;a personal classification system based on aesthetics rather than science. Rebecca Clark, Emilie Clark, Asuka Hishiki, Lisa Murch, and Christy Rupp also present diverse artworks that herald insects as fascinating creatures to be studied, understood and celebrated.</p>

19:30

<p> <span face="">Capoeira is a unique Brazilian art form that has evolved over centuries into an exciting combination of martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics. Some of capoeira&rsquo;s benefits include strength, flexibility, stamina, overall fitness and confidence. Benefits of capoeira for kids include promoting &nbsp;social interaction and sense of belonging, building confidence, discipline and self esteem, promoting a healthy lifestyle so children become active,&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp; and develop cultural awareness and tolerance. Wear comfortable clothing.</span></p><p> <span face="">Capoeira was developed in Brazil, but its history extends to Africa and tribes from Angola. Slaves living on Brazilian Plantations who weren&rsquo;t allowed to openly practice traditional forms of self-defense developed an ingenious method of disguising their training by combining it with dance-like movements, singing, and the rhythms of primitive instruments. </span></p>

Learn a unique Brazilian art form while promoting physical fitness and social confidence.

<p>Many New Yorkers are unaware of the 350 species of wild birds&mdash;almost a third of all bird species in North America&mdash;that live in or pass through New York City each year. Artist Alan Messer skillfully captures many, from exquisite migrating blackburnian warblers in Central Park&rsquo;s ramble to a Northern Harrier scanning the vast marshes of Jamaica Bay. <em>Conserving Our City of Nature:</em> <em>The Artwork of Alan Messer</em> presented by NYC Audubon reveals over 30 of Messer&rsquo;s detailed paintings, illustrations, and field sketches of New York City&#39;s avian wildlife and habitats, offering a view of NYC Audubon&#39;s conservation mission through an artistic eye. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Shakespeare in the Park: Much Ado About Nothing

2014-07-02T00:00:00.000

20:00

21:00

<p> Hamish Linklater and Tony&reg; nominee Lily Rabe return to the Park this summer as the wise-cracking, would-be lovers Beatrice and Benedick in the beloved romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Central Park becomes sun-drenched Sicily at the turn of the last century, where the heat of summer ignites the fevered passions of lovesick ladies in corsets and pining gentlemen spying from the verandah. Three-time Tony winner Jack O&rsquo;Brien directs this delightful skirmish of wit between two self-declared bachelors tricked by their mischief-making friends into falling in love against their will and in spite of their own hearts.</p><p> New York&#39;s most treasured summer tradition, Free Shakespeare in the Park, celebrates its 52nd season in Central Park&#39;s famous Delacorte Theater. Love and madness, laughter and tragedy combine for a uniquely thrilling season of exciting theater and exceptional performances under the stars. Join over 5 million people who have enjoyed The Public Theater&#39;s free performances and experience the heights of romance and the depths of duplicity in a setting unlike any other, in the heart of Manhattan.</p><p> Free tickets to the 2014 season will once again be distributed in the Park, online via the Virtual Ticketing Lottery, and in the five boroughs of New York City.
