New Museum
In the hands of Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg, animation becomes a medium for transgressive and nightmarish allegories of desire and malcontent. “The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg” is Djurberg’s most ambitious multimedia installation to date. Originally organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Djurberg will adapt this spectacular installation for the New Museum’s ‘Studio 231’ space.

Wed-Sun, February 12-March 21 @ 11:30am - 5:00pm
The Ukrainian Museum
Traditional Ukrainian kilims – flat tapestry rugs, woven on vertical or horizontal looms to produce stylized floral ornamentation or geometric patterns, respectively – are made with naturally dyed wool, yielding rich, soft hues that add to their beauty and warmth. The more than 35 prized examples are representative of centuries-old weaving traditions and attest to the arduous journey undertaken by Ukrainians escaping the ravages of war with their most cherished possessions.

When the powers of death crop up at every turn, what else can one do...but whistle? Like the holy fools before him and the characters of Chaplin and Keaton a couple generations later, The Whistling Mortician postulates the life of a puckish Prussian laborer living in the hotbed of 1870's Alsace-Lorraine. One fateful day following the Franco-Prussian War, he whistles the wrong national anthem up and down the streets of his town––and directly into trouble.

WOW Cafe Theater
TENDER is an experimental dance theater piece that uses the physiology of skin as a lens to look at the construction and deconstruction of boundaries.  Merging text derived from medical literature and personal narrative, the piece unravels the complexities of intimate violence in queer relationships and investigates the ways in which our bodies remember trauma.  Tickets are suggested donation of $15 which will go to support WOW as well.  Cash only.  Please dress to stay cool!
