Evening Lecture TODAY, Tuesday, October 4 at 6:30p

Evening Lecture TODAY, Tuesday, October 4 at 6:30pm ET: Hugo Crosthwaite and Arlene Dávila in Conversation - VIRTUAL

Hugo Crosthwaite (@hugocrosthwaite) combines portraiture, comic book references, urban signage, commercial facades, and mythology in dense, layered compositions. Working primarily in black and white Crosthwaite brings characters from allegory and popular media to the stage of the human condition, interacting with the architecture of Tijuana and dreams of the border. The work reflects the character of frenetic urban settings, a border in flux. His awards include first prize in the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.

Arlene Dávila (@arlenedavila1) is Professor of Anthropology and American Studies and Founding Director of The Latinx Project (@latinxprojnyu) at New York University (@nyuniversity). Her work focuses on questions of cultural equity, Latinx and critical race studies. She is the author of multiple books focusing on Latinx cultural politics spanning the media, urban politics, museums and contemporary art markets, including her latest: Latinx Art: Artists, Markets and Politics (Duke Press 2020).

This lecture will be livestreamed on NYSS’s YouTube channel at 6:30 pm ET, or register via the link in bio to receive a Zoom Webinar link.

"Students at New York Studio School are probably the hardest working painters that you will ever meet. This was, and still is to this day, a huge inspiration for me. It instilled in me an almost physical need to go to the studio every morning, and to spend as much time as I can painting, drawing, looking and thinking. Being able to have a daily art practice is a priceless gift, and I thank the Studio School and my teachers there every single day for teaching me how." - Avital Burg, Certificate 2013 @avitalburg

The priority application deadline for Spring 2023 Certificate: Virtual or In-Person is October 15th. Learn more and apply via the link in bio!

5 days on and my mind is still spinning from my time spent at the New York Studio School. Friendships made, art techniques explored with a little bit of NYC thrown in on the side.

For our first entry in our silent auction spotligh

For our first entry in our silent auction spotlight series, we are happy to announce that a print of Xu Bing’s seminal performance art piece, A Case Study of Transference (1994), will be available for purchase during this year’s Annual Benefit. Xu Bing, a highly acclaimed conceptual and printmaking artist, uses his work to reflect on the cultural issues that came to a head during his early life in China. Provocative yet masterfully conducted, his art largely challenges our perception of the role, function, and purpose of language.

During the original 1994 performance piece, Xu printed nonsense words in English and Chinese onto a male and female breeding pig respectively. Once both animals were enclosed in the same pen, the artist forced his onlookers to question their own voyeuristic impulses by attending the event in the first place. Xu’s controversial work challenges the inherent boundaries we project onto the intimate interactions between bodies, cultures, and social systems as a whole.

In his reflection on A Case Study of Transference, Xu stated: “These two creatures, devoid of human consciousness, yet carrying on their bodies the marks of human civilization, engage in the most primal form of 'social intercourse.' The absolute directness of this undertaking produces a result that is both unthinkable and worth thinking about. In watching the behavior of the two pigs, we are led to reflect on human behavior.''

Our auction preview will go live later this month! Join us on 10/27 for the silent auction and cocktail reception– see the link in bio for details.
