Featured Events in New York in December 2024(November Updated)

Follow Australian Green Sea Turtle Bunji as she embarks on her first solo journey across the high seas and the incredible animals she encounters along the way. In A Turtle Odyssey, narrated by Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, explore the amazing life of a sea turtle from hatchling to adult, and the great migrations undertaken by generations before her. As Bunji leaves her Great Barrier Reef habitat and swims hundreds of miles, she encounters many marine animals—including humpback whales, parrot fish, and even a great white shark—as well as threats to her survival, like plastic waste.

For her first museum exhibition in New York City, Lebanese American artist Nour Mobarak presents a large-scale installation reinterpreting the first opera, Dafne, which was staged by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598 and inspired by Ovid’s myth of Apollo and Daphne. In Mobarak’s reimagining of Dafne, 15 singing sculptures—encasing a multichannel sound installation within mycelium structures—recount the tale in some of the world’s most phonetically complex languages. Building on histories of avant-garde sound, Mobarak’s most ambitious work to date draws on a longstanding interest in mechanized voice and memory across her practice, which ranges from sculpture to performance, moving image, poetry, and music. In Dafne Phono, Mobarak draws analogies between linguistic structure and the biological processes of mycelium, exploring how both are governed by systems of repetition, decomposition, and regeneration, and relate to wider forces of political power. Bringing new perspectives to a key antecedent in the history of performance, Dafne Phono joins nature and technology in an exploration of the voice’s ability to endure cycles of life and death, bridging histories both ancient and present.

Timothy Taylor is pleased to present Rude Awakening, a solo exhibition of new paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Alicia Adamerovich at the gallery’s New York location. The artist’s debut exhibition in the city and with the gallery, this presentation features enigmatic biomorphic abstractions that reflect on our moment’s uncertain relationship to truth and objective reality. Adamerovich uses paint, pumice, sand, and wood to process absurd or contradictory feelings and thoughts. Sparked by mundane encounters with an intriguing shape, phrase, or angle of light, she works intuitively, generating moody, shadowy landscapes in two and three dimensions. Raised in western Pennsylvania by her naturalist father and biologist mother, Adamerovich grew up contemplating and drawing the natural world as well as examining its minutiae through a microscope.
