Disarming Intelligence | 20 Cooper Sq
Dec 10, 2024 (UTC-5)
New York
Delving into the late 19th-century debates around intelligence, Paul traces how this multifaceted concept was consolidated and contested across psychology, philosophy, literature, and politics leading up to the First World War. Through the lens of key figures like Marcel Proust, Henri Bergson, Paul Valéry and Walter Benjamin. Disarming Intelligence examines the tensions between intelligence as an individual analytic tool and a collective, contingent force. The book further explores how literary styles and critical thought shaped evolving notions of intelligence, connecting these early discourses to contemporary debates about artificial intelligence. Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation on the historical and cultural significance of intelligence and its impact on modern-day discussions Featuring Zakir Paul in conversation with Catherine Malabouand Hannah Freed-Thall

Farkhondeh Shahroudi | Book Launch | Goethe-Institut New York
Dec 11, 2024 (UTC-5)
New York
Please join us on the evening of December 11th to celebrate and discuss the latest book produced by the Goethe-Institut New York and published with Mousse Publishing. The evening will feature Farkhondeh Shahroudi, as well as all contributing authors. Shahroudi will perform some of her poems for the audience before we convene a panel discussion in which the book's contributors will discuss Shahroudi's breadth in her artistic practice and the impact of her work today. The book is available for purchase in person at the Goethe-Institut New York or through the Mousse Publishing webstore.
The publication Farkhondeh Shahroudi marks the artist’s US debut exhibition, of weeping trees (2024), at the Goethe-Institut New York. Rather than serving as an exhibition catalogue, it presents a retrospective glance at the pivotal moments and major series in Shahroudi’s practice, stretching as far back as her figurative paintings from her time as a student and extending as recently as the 2024 works made during her residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, New York. In this publication, the authors dive into Shahroudi’s rich practice, privileging the artwork and contextualizing her artmaking within a wider concept of worldbuilding.

The Lost Generation [80s + Gen X Matinee] | Joyface
Dec 13, 2024 (UTC-5)
New York
Gen X has been blowing up our comments saying they need their own party, so we started one. The Lost Generation is a new 80s-centric dance concept by Matinee Social Club, focused on celebrating the sounds of Gen X. Come enjoy an early evening dance party from 6-10pm on Friday. The MusicMostly 80s with adjacent hits from just before and after as well. Songs that defined Gen X. Dress CodeUsually we encourage disco chic, but for this party, it's 80's chic if anything. If you're not one for dressing up, no worries. Just no athletic wear or anything too casual. What to expect? A night of 80s & vintage pop amongst a beautiful crowd of 40 somethings. The music will escalate by 7:00pm, pizza will be served at ~8pm and is included with your ticket. What is Matinee Social Club?Love to party, but also love a good night’s rest?
With Matinée, you can have both.
It’s a “night time” dance party that lets you have a wild night out…and be home by 11pm. The party starts at 5pm, peaks at 8, over at 10. Oh and we serve pizza around 7:30pm to give you a second wind. Some reviews from past Matinéers… “Omg y’all solved nightlife.”
“This is the most fun I’ve ever had before 9pm.’
“I feel way too young to be here” – Gen Z The Matinée MissionNightlife pretty much only caters to 20 somethings. Matinée wants to change that. We’re working to create a space where our fellow Millennials and beyond can step away from adult responsibilities and let loose for a while – creating memories with old friends and hopefully make some new ones. If that sounds like your ideal night, we hope you’ll join us.

Projects: Marlon Mullen | The Museum of Modern Art
Dec 14, 2024–Apr 20, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
There is no mistaking the work of Marlon Mullen. His distinctive paintings, with their lush surfaces and bold color, extend the long-standing tradition of making art about art. For nearly 40 years, Mullen has been based at the NIAD Art Center, a progressive arts studio for artists with developmental disabilities in his native Richmond, California. Donated issues of art publications, such as Art in America and Artforum, serve as his primary subject matter. Projects: Marlon Mullen presents a selection of the artist’s paintings from the past decade. Upon selecting a glossy cover or an interior page as a point of departure, Mullen paints using acrylic on canvas, flat on a table. He maintains visual ties to his source material, while also radically transforming it. The resulting compositions reimagine the relationships among their parts. Barcodes and other details may zoom into prominence. Letters, numbers, punctuation, and the spacing between them may disappear or repeat. Imagery and graphics all become pure form to be reordered and reshaped. As this exhibition demonstrates, Mullen views magazines and art books not only as a prompt to create, but also as an invitation to engage with today’s art world on his own painterly terms.

Jean Strouse on John Singer Sargent & the Wertheimers, with Michael Wood | The Skylight Room: 9100
Dec 17, 2024 (UTC-5)
New York
Jean Strouse on John Singer Sargent and the Werthheimers, with Michael Wood Tuesday, December 17, 6:30 pm the Skylight Room, the Graduate Center 365 5th Ave., New York, NY 10016 Jean Strouse’s Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers looks at twelve portraits of one English family painted by the expatriate American artist at the height of his career―and at the intersections of all these lives with the sparkle and strife of the Edwardian age.
In commissioning this grand series of paintings, Asher Wertheimer, an eminent London art dealer of German-Jewish descent, became Sargent’s greatest private patron and close friend. The Wertheimers worked with Rothschilds and royals, plutocrats and dukes―as did Sargent. Asher left most of his Sargent portraits to the National Gallery in London, a gift that elicited censure as well as praise: it was a new thing for a family of Jews to appear alongside the Anglo-Saxon aristocrats and dignitaries painted by earlier masters.
Strouse’s account, set primarily in England around the turn of the twentieth century, takes in the declining fortunes of the British aristocracy and the dramatic rise of new power and wealth on both sides of the Atlantic. It travels back through hundreds of years to the Habsburg court in Vienna and forward to fascist Italy in the 1930s. Its depictions of Sargent, his sitters, their friendships and circles, and the portraits themselves light up a period that saw tumultuous social change and the birth of the modern art market.
Sargent brilliantly portrayed these transformations, in which the Wertheimers were key players. Family Romance brings their interwoven stories fully to life for the first time. Jean Strouse is the author of Morgan, American Financier, and Alice James, A Biography, which won the Bancroft Prize in American History. Her essays and reviews have appeared in The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Newsweek, The Washington Post, and elsewhere. From 2003 to 2017, she served as Director of the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at The New York Public Library. Her new book, Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers, will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in November 2024. Michael Woodstudied French and German at Cambridge University and was a fellow of St John’s College. He taught at Columbia, Exeter and Princeton, where he is now Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature. He has written books on Stendhal, Nabokov, Yeats, and Hitchcock, and is the author, most recently, of On Empson (2017), The Habits of Distraction (2018), and Marcel Proust (2023). He writes regularly for the London Review of Books, and for several other journals.
