Today’s Events
- Maren Hassinger: MonumentsMaren Hassinger: MonumentsTime: 6:00 am - 10:00 pm
Maren Hassinger: Monuments consists of eight site-specific sculptures installed for approximately one year (through June 10, 2019) in Marcus Garvey Park (Madison Avenue between 120th and 124th Streets), beginning in June 2018. Hassinger, who has been associated with the Studio Museum since 1984, is a Harlem-based multidisciplinary artist whose work, spanning performance, installation, sculpture, and video, are often meditations on nature and community. Working in the tradition of her earlier projects such as Wreath (1979), Hassinger uses branches to create forms that respond to aspects of the park’s landscape—an outcropping of rock, a triangle near flower beds, an oval near the pool. The artist created the works with the assistance of volunteers from the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council and Expanding the Walls program, so that Monuments is a project made in Harlem and for Harlem.
- Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMAJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at The Museum of Modern Art (through February 3, 2019) in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium is organized into multiple-week segments, each of which focuses on the work of one artist: Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Steve Paxton and Trisha Brown. Additionally, a video installation edited by the artist Charles Atlas and related to the work of the choreographers featured in the performance program will be on view. Including footage of both individual and group pieces made during the Judson era and after, Atlas’s installation emphasizes the relationship of the soloist to the ensemble and shows how Judson influenced the later careers of these artists. In the final weeks of the exhibition, Movement Research, an organization with a direct lineage to Judson, will hold classes and workshops.
- Constantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMAConstantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Constantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at the Museum of Modern Art (through Feb. 18) celebrates MoMA’s extraordinary holdings—11 sculptures by Brancusi will be shown together for the first time, alongside drawings, photographs, and films. A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed light on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the course of the art that followed.
- Firelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemFirelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Firelei Báez continues the artist’s longstanding interest in representations of women, particularly Afro-Caribbean/Afro-Latina women in visual culture and history.

The Jim Henson Exhibition features a broad range of objects from throughout his remarkable career. It reveals how Henson and his team of builders, performers, and writers brought to life the enduringly popular worlds of The Muppet Show, the Muppet movies, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. It also includes material from Henson’s experimental film projects and his early work, presenting him as a restlessly creative performer, filmmaker, and technical innovator. This is an ongoing exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image.
