The relationship between these seemingly disparate places is brokered by land use regulation\, public policy\, and miles of infrastructure—but these connections are practically invisible to NYC residents. Participants will create a “human diagram” of NYC’s water supply system\, forming the connections between reservoirs\, aqueducts and water tunnels with their bodies\, and re-inscribing the connections between upstate and urban communities. Props will be provided; be prepared to make some noise! \nThe workshop is geared towards adults\, but kids ages 10 and up are welcome.  \n\nThe Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on\, in\, and with urban bodies of water\, created in response to our global climate crisis. Participate in a series of workshops led by Works on Water Triennial artists\, inspired by bodies of water and NYC waterways. The Works on Water 2025 Triennial exhibition will be on view in Upper and Lower Galleries of The Arts Center starting August 28 through October 26\, open Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm. \n\nLize Mogel is an interdisciplinary artist and counter-cartographer. She creates maps and mappings that bring the politics of place to the surface. Her site-specific work reflects the complicated\, human (and sometimes non-human) experience within a place\, and engages people in the myriad potentials of that place. Her current work is focused on water infrastructure and watershed ecosystems; and how natural systems\, environmental policy\, and social inequities intersect.  \nWorks on Water is an experimental organization and triennial exhibition dedicated to artworks\, performances\, conversations\, workshops and site-specific experiences that explore diverse artistic investigation of water in the urban environment. We seek to strengthen and nourish the community of artists working on and with bodies of water and to provide a platform to increase awareness of artists and organizations working on and with the waterways. \nMade possible with support from the Cultural Development Fund\, Invoking the Pause\, exhibiting artists\, and Works on Water’s partner organizations.

Wagner Park\, Battery Park City. \nBased on the format of a community garden\, the installation is a jewel box of a greenhouse filled with an overgrown garden of life-sized paper flowers\, each illuminated by programmed LED lights. Inspired by traditional floral still life paintings depicting flowers that bloom in various parts of the world in different seasons\, the installation presents the dream-like coming together of its creators\, who worked on this project at different times and in different spaces\, in the form of a single tangled garden. The flowers of Maison Millefleurs were made by many hands\, including those of the artists and of the public\, during the House of a Thousand Flowers workshop series hosted by LMCC as part of the 2025 River To River Festival. \nMaison Millefleurs builds on the duo’s practice of bringing sculptural still life into being through communal craftmaking. As a sculpture made of ephemeral materials such as paper\, which is dispersed at its conclusion\,  Maison Millefleurs dramatizes the process of its own coming into and out of existence. \n\n\n“Maison Millefleurs sits as an eccentric presence at the edge of Manhattan’s towers. Built by the labour of strangers\, it is a florid dream of something beautiful that is shared\, if only briefly. We are so grateful for the incredible support of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and Battery Park City Authority\, who made such an extended\, community-based project possible ” – Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\n\n\nThe installation will conclude with a Paper Flower Giveaway & Workshop on Saturday\, September 21\, 7-9pm. At this culminating event\, the public will be invited to participate in a paper flower-making workshop and select\, directly from the installation\, an assortment of reusable\, LED-lit handmade flowers to keep\, giving Maison Millefleurs new life as its flowers are dispersed throughout the city. Click here to learn more about the closing night event. \n\n\nRhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\, based in New York and Toronto respectively\, have worked collaboratively since 2004. Their work has increasingly incorporated communal aspects of craft\, such as DIY tutorial videos\, and virtual crafting bees. Their video project Crafts Abyss was hosted by the Museum of Arts & Design (NYC\, 2021). Other recent activities include the Odette Sculpture Residency at York University (Toronto\, 2022)\, a major temporary outdoor work for OpenArt (Orebro\, Sweden\, 2022)\, as well as solo exhibitions at Susan Hobbs Gallery (Toronto\, 2023)\, The Arts Center at Governors Island (NYC\, 2023)\, Owens Art Gallery (Sackville\, 2024)\, and the Esker Foundation (Calgary\, 2024).

The publication combines sections of the League’s original newspaper (1978-1992) with new writing from League members\, as well as interviews with children raised in the League’s childcare system. The title of Wong’s work borrows from League member and revolutionary poet Amiri Baraka to consider how we come to know a political inheritance.

Instruction is inspired by Caribbean dance styles\, dance fitness\, somatic movement practices\, and self proclaimed rituals. \nThis workshop is open to all skill levels\, ages 5 and up. There is no choreography. There is no right way\, just the fun way. \nExperimental Performance Show featuring duendita\, Embaci and Dominica Greene and more \n5-8pm \nAn evening of sonic and movement-based performances tapping into frequencies that connect one’s roots and culture through voice\, sound\, dance\, and music. \nRSVP here!

The exhibition opens to the public at LMCC’s Arts Center on Governor’s Island July 20 – September 29\, 2024. \n“”Hope is a discipline”” is both an exhibition and network\, inhabiting Mariame Kaba’s concept of hope: a “hope” that is neither just a feeling\, nor horizon\, but a project of communal labor. As the curators research how to curate a process (aligned with socially-engaged artistic practices) the project blurs the lines between facilitator and participant; archive and event. Rehearsing a poetics of assembly with artists\, audiences\, and peers\, they organize “commoning” experiences with thought partners interested in the questions such as: How do we make places? How do we attend to solidarities? Can friendship create structural change? \nTheir vinyl record carries the sounds\, traces\, and marginalia from the first iteration of Hope is a discipline\, which took place at de Appel Amsterdam\, and the project’s aftermath in Cuba. \nHope is a discipline is curated by: Meghana Karnik (LMCC\, New York)\, Eugene Hannah Park (ISCP\, New York / South Korea)\, Marina Christodoulidou (de Appel\, Amsterdam)\, & Billy Fowo (SAVVY Contemporary\, Berlin)”\n@storefrontpsychic\, storefrontpsychic.com URL:https://lmcc.net/events/arts-center-residency-open-studios/ LOCATION:The Arts Center at Governors Island\, 110 Andes Road\, New York\, NY\, 10004\, United States CATEGORIES:Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lmcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/408773026_18407390467035312_5026610071527969719_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240415T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240415T220000 DTSTAMP:20240123T224528Z CREATED:20240123T202235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240123T224528Z UID:10000062-1713204000-1713218400@lmcc.net SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Gala DESCRIPTION:This year LMCC celebrates its Golden Anniversary with you\, our circle of artists\, supporters\, and friends!

Using real-time signal processing tools and improvisational strategies\, we set up a performance space where our persona interacts with a discarded megaphone. By re-using this object as a tool and instrument to both project and receive transmission frequencies\, we are searching for a way to communicate with our queer ancestors and those yet to be born. \n@marblemonmon / @s_pirler \n\n3:30pm \nBobby Abate \nThe Outside Tarot  \nLecture (15-30 min) \nI am excited to present the Outsider Tarot and its guidebook for open studios\, a project that took 10 years to research\, create and self-publish.  I will discuss the inspiration\, esoteric foundations\, new suits of the Minor Arcana\, a Major Arcana without people and the eviction of the royal family. We might even do a reading or two. Copies of the deck and guidebook will be available for purchase. \nThe Outsider Tarot reinterprets the Golden Dawn and Rider Waite decks\, emphasizing inclusivity and diversity within the original esoteric framework. The hand-rendered imagery fuses classic Tarot style with my own artwork\, which will be on display in my studio space.  The spiritual guide for the Outsider Tarot is Rachel Pollack\, an internationally renowned trans author\, artist\, and Tarot grandmaster\, who sadly passed away this year. Rachel joins other inspirational ‘Outsiders’ like Kathy Acker\, Punk Rock Feminist writer; Leigh Bowery\, avant-garde performance artist; Nina Simone\, legendary singer; Samuel Steward\, renegade Queer author and tattoo artist; Jackie Shane\, trailblazing transgender soul singer\, and more\, enriching the deck with their wisdom and guidance. https://www.outsidertarot.com/ \nOutsidertarot.com    @bobbysweetkitty \n\n4:00pm \nRonit Levin Delgado \nShabbat Brides (Work in Progress) \nPerformance + Screening (20 min) \n“We can only grab another’s hand when our hand is free”  \nMultidisciplinary artist Ronit Levin Delgado\, in collaboration with Katie Cercone and Kelly Shaw Nyala\, invites the audience to enter into our bodies and engage in self-reflection through symbolic movement-based rituals allowing ourselves to focus on the moment\, to dance\, sing and share mother nature’s gifts\, celebrating the abundance and joy of nature.  \nEach performer embodies a hybrid Goddess of Happiness\, reminding viewer’s there’s no need to look outside of ourselves or worship a disembodied idol. Rather\, we can find peace\, joy and happiness by gazing inwards – and claiming what we have culturally disavowed or denied ourselves permission to actualize. A signature of Delgado’s work\, mirrors and reflective surfaces embellish the installation space as three Goddesses dance in choreographed sequences for connection to the spirit realms and nature. \nAs a whole\, the performance invites audience participants to reflect upon their relationship from the spacious naturescape of Governor’s Island\, just a heartbeat away from the city and its perpetual chaos. Audience members are invited to “go within” and join the three Artists in self-reflective exploration of the Goddess within\, an ancient path to liberation… \nThe performance will formally begin in the outdoor gallery space\, whereby the artists will interact with found natural objects on the island\, including each other\, vacillating between contact dance and other dance-based movements. Eventually the piece moves indoors\, where inspired by the natural elements and sounds of magical Governors Island\, a trinity of female artists connect and activate the surroundings through movements based in Yoga – including Breath of Joy meditation\, various nature-based asanas and group exercises. A video installation capturing the water in front of the Statue of Liberty that is also connected to Governors Island will be projected. Reminding us that life is fluid and pure. Water being one of our most essential natural resources\, and one of Mother Earth’s gifts\, it will be a primary symbolic centerpiece within the interactive performance ritual. \n@ronitlevindelgado URL:https://lmcc.net/events/open-studios-with-arts-center-artists-in-residence-2/ LOCATION:The Arts Center at Governors Island\, 110 Andes Road\, New York\, NY\, 10004\, United States CATEGORIES:Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lmcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/acgi23_TakeCareSeries_July2023_RoshniKhatri_21.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
