SUMMARY:Exhibition by German-Vietnamese artist Sung Tieu at Amant
DESCRIPTION:Sung Tieu’s exhibition continues her ongoing research into the psychological and physical dimensions of hidden threats and how they affect the social life of communities. Through different study subjects\, she analyzes how private and state agencies use infrastructure and bureaucracy to exert psychological and informational control. \nBy blurring the lines between evidence and counter-evidence\, fact and fiction\, Sung Tieu’s work presents the limits of our capacity to fully distinguish between the known and unknown. Throughout the exhibition\, she explores how information\, or the lack thereof\, can change perception\, affecting our bodies and ways of understanding our environment. \nSung Tieu (b.1987 in Hai Duong\, Vietnam) is a German-Vietnamese artist based in Berlin. Her artistic practice spans a variety of mediums including sound\, video\, sculpture\, photography\, public interventions and writing. \nAmant is a non-profit arts organization in Brooklyn\, New York that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions\, public programs\, and artist residencies. This exhibition is supported by the Goethe-Institut.

SUMMARY:The Clinical Complex: Reflections on Sick Buildings and the Architectures of Illness in Ten Images 1880/2020
DESCRIPTION:The Advanced Certificate Program in Poetics & Theory\, the Department of German at NYU\, and Deutsches Haus at NYU present “The Clinical Complex: Reflections on Sick Buildings and the Architectures of Illness in Ten Images 1880/2020\,” a talk by Yale Professor Fatima Naqvi. \nRSVP here. \nAbout the talk:\nWe are what Walter Benjamin calls “newcomers to eternity\,” with new spatial coordinates: “when the end approaches\, [people] are stowed away in sanatoriums or hospitals by their heirs.” The architectonic development that Benjamin outlines holds true not only for the late 19th \, but also for the 20th and 21st centuries. This talk looks back at the explosion of hospital construction in Austria-Hungary during its waning years and explores this moment as it is refracted in works by Arthur Schnitzler and Rainer Maria Rilke; it also suggests a connection to the present via works by Ulrich Seidl and Nikolaus Geyrhalter. The architecture of medicine and the medicalization of architecture have important implications for how we think about sickness and health today—and how we experience our clinical spaces. \nAbout the speaker:\nFatima Naqvi is Elias W. Leavenworth Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures and of Film and Media Studies at Yale University. She has written books on victimhood in European culture after 1968; the films of Michael Haneke; the degradation of the landscape; and the interrelationship between architecture and Bildung in Austrian author Thomas Bernhard. She is currently working on the hospital experience in fin-de-siècle Vienna.

SUMMARY:The Population History of German Jewry: 1815 - 1939
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time\nSun\, Apr 23\, 2023\, 1:00 PM EDT (adjusted to your local time)\nVenue\nCenter for Jewish History (map)\n15 W. 16th St.\nNew York\, NY 10011\nAdmissions\nLBI/CJH/Partner Members\, Students\, Seniors: $5\nGeneral: $10\nTickets\nGET TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\nThe late Steven Mark Lowenstein was a brilliant social historian who\, after retiring from his academic position at the University of Judaism\, labored until his final days to complete a monumental demographic history of German Jewry. Lowenstein took the research of Hebrew University demographer Professor Usiel Oscar Schmelz and brought it to life with insights into the daily experiences of German-speaking Jews. David N. Myers (UCLA)\, who co-edited the book for its posthumous publication\, will join Marsha Rozenblit (Maryland)\, David Ellenson (HUC)\, and Lowenstein’s daughter\, Dr. Ruth Lowenstein Glasser\, for a celebration of Lowenstein’s legacy and his final opus. \nIf you would like to attend this program virtually\, please select the “Virtual Admission” option when reserving tickets on Eventbrite. \nReviews\n“The pioneering research of Usiel Schmelz and Steven Lowenstein provides a new dimension for German-Jewish History. Instead of relying on a few personal accounts and anecdotal evidence\, this book constitutes a tool to decipher the complete picture of the German-Jewish community. It is an indispensable source for everyone interested in the modern Jewish experience.” \n— Michael Brenner\, President of the International Leo Baeck Institute for the Research of German-Jewish History and Culture \n“Steven Lowenstein’s landmark volume presents the history of German Jewry from the early 19th century into the Nazi era through the prism of shifting population patterns. Replete with an incomparable array of data\, the book’s meticulous narrative also serves as a memorial to a diverse Jewish community whose history reflected the triumphs and tragedies of the modern Jewish experience.” \n— Jack Wertheimer\, The Jewish Theological Seminary \n“Steven Lowenstein’s demographic history of Jews in Germany is a state-of-the-art study that will certainly become a classic. He has absorbed and presented in highly readable prose the chronological\, regional\, and topical demographic interpretations of the years 1815-1939 while also engaging in historiographical debates. This new and all-embracing picture of German Jewry offers readers careful analyses of such topics as urbanization\, marriage and intermarriage\, births and deaths\, in and out migration and internal migration\, and addresses age\, region\, and gender while also comparing to non-Jewish populations in Germany. The book is breathtaking in its research and scope and a must for every scholar of German-Jewish history.” \n— Marion Kaplan\, Skirball Professor Emerita of Modern Jewish History \n“ “Steven Lowenstein has published the definitive demographic history of German Jewry.  This is a monumental curated archive\, actually a twice posthumous book. Lowenstein’s initial statistics were compiled by the Israeli demographer Oscar Schmelz\, and Lowenstein himself died before finishing this tome.  Family historians\, genealogy buffs and population historians will rely on Lowenstein’s volume and appreciate its comparative reach and meticulous detail.” .” \n— Deborah Hertz\, Wouk Chair in Modern Jewish Studies\, Department of History\, University of California at San Diego

SUMMARY:Discussion: Urban Activism – Working for Change on a Local Scale
DESCRIPTION:Climate activists\, gluing themselves to paintings or blocking roads\, know their tactics make people angry – yet they believe that it’s a price worth paying. In the streets of Baltimore\, activists’ demand for social justice is not a tactic\, but rather a “fundamental aspect of life”. For others\, activism is an understanding of human agency translated into acts of courage and bold solutions in their local communities. \nMuseums and Archives on both sides of the Atlantic\, like The Museum of the City of New York\, have dedicated exhibitions to urban activism\, using the topic to foster awareness\, encourage critical thinking\, and stimulate dialogue. Even museums are moving into more activist activities themselves\, so how is activism developing from the past into the future? \nIn many ways\, activists are facing very similar issues as those in the past: Like climate protesters\, the suffragettes were not loved a hundred years ago. The same pressures are re-emerging today. And there is the same need – if not a greater need — for self-organization of ordinary people. However\, at a time when we seem to frame everything in moral terms\, activism may have gone a step further and become as much a part of our civic responsibility as paying council tax or jury duty. From local volunteering in soup kitchens to making one’s voice heard on the streets. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a timely conversation co-hosted with The Urban Activist to discuss what activism means to people\, its power to create positive change\, and how it has been evolving over the past decades. \nWith Co-Founder and Executive Director of Street Lab New York Leslie Davol\, award-winning policy advocate\, liberation and food activist Eloísa Trinidad\, Baltimore based photographer and educator Devin Allen and academic-activist and advocate for fair digital labor practices Trebor Scholz. Moderated by Sarah Seidman\, Puffin Foundation Gallery Curator of Social Activism at the Museum of the City of New York and the curator for the ongoing exhibition “Activist New York”. \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeslie Davol is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Street Lab\, a ten-year old nonprofit that creates and shares programs for public space across NYC. Leslie founded the organization along with her husband\, Sam Davol\, in Boston\, where the organization’s early projects led Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham to call Leslie and Sam “visionaries when it comes to breathing life into neglected public spaces.” Prior to starting Street Lab\, Leslie had a career in museums and the cultural sector in NYC\, including serving as Assistant Vice President for Memorial\, Cultural\, and Civic Programs for the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation following September 11. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR. Trebor Scholz\, a researcher\, author\, and advocate for fair digital labor practices\, serves as a professor at The New School in NYC and founding director of the Platform Cooperativism Consortium\, as well as a Faculty Affiliate at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. Scholz\, known for developing the concept of platform cooperativism\, is a global keynote speaker championing worker-owned online platforms\, with his impact widely acknowledged by news outlets such as The New York Times and The Financial Times. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEloísa Trinidad is an award-winning policy advocate\, liberation activist\, educator\, and artist. She is Executive Director at Chilis on Wheels\, where she works to make Veganism accessible to communities in need through direct food relief\, policy\, education\, and mentorship\, and the founder of Vegan Activist Alliance\, a systems-change focused\, community-driven\, anti-speciesist\, anti-colonial organization founded on the belief that all Beings have a natural right to their autonomy and to live free from oppression regardless of species. As an AfroIndigeous Latina\, Eloísa approaches liberation praxis and Veganism with an anti-colonial framework to raise awareness of how Western colonization has affected and continues to impact the plight of humans and beyond-human persons (animals)\, our relationship to each other\, and the natural world. Through this lens\, she works with national and international coalitions and organizations as an advisor to develop community-informed strategies and policies to transcend poverty\, mitigate climate breakdown\, and transform our food system. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE ACCESSIBILITY\nUnfortunately\, 1014 Fifth Avenue is in the process of being refurbished\, and is not fully accessible in its current state. We apologize to our guests and kindly ask you to contact j.stubbs@1014.nyc if you need further information or assistance. We will do our best to enable everyone to join us.

SUMMARY:Documenting Atrocity: The Impact and Legacy of the Film German Concentration Camps Factual Survey
DESCRIPTION:This is a special screening of the film German Concentration Camps Factual Survey\, which features graphic footage of the atrocities committed at Nazi concentration camps\, followed by a discussion about the role of atrocity imagery in contemporary society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn honor of Genocide Awareness Month\, MoMI presents the British documentary German Concentration Camps Factual Survey (GCCFS)\, which features footage graphically depicting the atrocities committed during World War II at Nazi concentration camps. The film was commissioned in April 1945 by the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force and shot by combat and newsreel cameramen accompanying Allied troops as they liberated occupied Europe. Producer Sidney Bernstein assembled a team at the Ministry of Information that included editors Stewart McAllister and Peter Tanner; writers Colin Wills and Richard Crossman; and Alfred Hitchcock\, who gave directorial advice. \nThe Allies intended for the film to be shown to German prisoners of war wherever they were held\, but the project was ultimately shelved before completion due to a shift in the priorities of the British government. In the early 1980s\, an abridged version of the film aired on the PBS show Frontline; this version restores footage deemed too brutal. More than 78 years later\, GCCFS has been taught in universities and studied by scholars but has never been widely seen by the American public. \nThis special screening will be followed by a discussion about the role of atrocity imagery in our contemporary society\, in which antisemitism\, Holocaust distortion\, and shocking acts of brutality caught on video are at an all-time high. Panelists include Jane Wells\, founder of 3 Generations and daughter of the film’s producer Sidney Bernstein; Dr. Steve Carr from the Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Purdue University-Fort Wayne; and Dr. Laura B. Cohen from the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center at Queensborough Community College-CUNY. \nPlease note this film contains graphic imagery of the people who were imprisoned and murdered in the Nazi concentration camps. Viewer discretion is advised. \nDate and Time: Sunday\, April 30th from 4:00-6:00 PM \nLocation: Museum of the Moving Image 36-01 35 Ave\, Astoria\, NY 11106​​​​​​​ \nInformation

By (de)constructing and (re)assembling objects\, architectures and languages\, Kindermann examines reciprocity. The artist is interested by the physical\, mental\, and social dimensions of the human body\, which he reflects by assembling self-reflexive entities from fragmented parts.

SUMMARY:Anne Weber and Tess Lewis in conversation\, moderated by Susie Nicklin
DESCRIPTION:Join author Anne Weber and translator Tess Lewis for a conversation about the novel Epic Annette: A Heroine’s Tale. Susie Nicklin\, publisher of Indigo Press\, will moderate. \nREGISTER\nWhat does it mean to be a hero in the 20th century? Anne Weber’s novel\, winner of the 2020 German Book Prize\, recounts the extraordinary true story of Annette Beaumanoir\, whose involvement with the French Resistance and the Algerian FLN cemented her name in history. \nBeaumanoir’s gripping story\, including her exile from France and separation from her children\, embodies the tragic conflict between political activism and familial obligation. This novel about courage\, resilience\, and the struggle for freedom is also a bold and nuanced look at the ethics of heroism. \nGuided by a passion for justice and a fervent belief in self-determination\, Beaumanoir joined the French Resistance while studying medicine in Rennes\, and then moved to Paris at the age of nineteen. After the war\, she supported the Algerian FLN in France\, resulting in her imprisonment in 1959 while pregnant with a third child. After making a dramatic escape\, she then served in the Ministry of Health under Algeria’s first president Ben Bella until his overthrow in 1965. Exiled from her homeland\, having been found guilty in absentia and sentenced to ten years in prison\, she moved to Switzerland and worked in a clinic there until an amnesty allowed her to return to France. \nThese are the bones of Annette’s story. Anne Weber sings them to life\, showing us the drama behind the facts in lyrical free verse beautifully translated into English by Tess Lewis. She also explores the ethical and philosophical aspects of Annette’s life choices\, as well as the emotional pain and grief trailed in their wake. Annette resembles the great heroes Odysseus and Aeneas; her character is her destiny\, peripatetic\, always exploring\, ultimately not tragic but not without costly personal sacrifice. \nAnne Weber is a German-French author\, translator into both French and German and self-translator. She studied in Paris and has worked for several publishers. Anne started writing and publishing in French\, but immediately translated her first book Ida invente la poudre into German as Ida erfindet das Schießpulver. Since then\, she has written each of her books in French and German. In 2005 she received the 3Sat award at the Festival of German Language Literature. For her translation of Pierre Michon’s work she received the Europäischer Übersetzerpreis Offenburg. She was awarded the 2020 German Book Prize for Annette\, ein Heldinnenepos\, which has sold more than 200\,000 copies. \nTess Lewis is a writer and translator from French and German. Her translations include works by Peter Handke\, Walter Benjamin\, Lutz Seiler\, Jonas Lüscher and Philippe Jaccottet. Her awards include the 2017 PEN Translation Award for her translation of Maja Haderlap’s novel Angel of Oblivion and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her essays and reviews have appeared in a number of publications including Granta\, Bookforum\, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. She is an Advisory Editor for The Hudson Review and co-curator of the Festival Neue Literature. She is a Guggenheim and Berlin Prize Fellow. \nSusie Nicklin began her career at The Bodley Head publishers and co-founded foreign rights specialist The Marsh Agency in 1993. She was Director of English PEN from 2002 – 2005\, and inaugurated its translation program (now PEN Translates). She was Director of Literature at the British Council from 2005 – 2013\, creating international literary partnerships and events. She founded The Indigo Press in 2018. \nThis event is co-presented by Deutsches Haus at NYU\, Villa Albertine\, and The Indigo Press.

SUMMARY:Humanities for Humans: Repair\, Reparation\, Refusal
DESCRIPTION:The uneven distribution of the devastating losses of the last years due to the Covid-19 pandemic starkly revealed the legacies of structural racism\, inequality\, war\, poverty\, and climate change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultural studies experts Hortense Spillers and Marianne Hirsch discuss the connections between these traumatic histories and the responses of affected communities on both sides of the Atlantic.  They ask whether and how art\, literature\, architecture and public action can inspire struggles for repair and reparation\, raising also the implications of the politics of refusal and abolition that some have recently adopted as a more appropriate reaction to continued dispossession and neglect.  Moderated by Professor Irene Kacandes\, German Studies and Comparative Literature\, Dartmouth College. \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, May 10\, 2023 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM EST \nLocation: 1014 5th Avenue\, New York\, NY\, 10028\, United States \nInformation

SUMMARY:Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors: A Conversation Between Ian Penman and Gary Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Deutsches Haus at NYU\, Light Industry\, and the New York Institute for the Humanities present a conversation between authors Ian Penman and Gary Indiana about Penman’s new book\, Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors (Semiotext(e)\, May 2023)\, a kaleidoscopic study of acclaimed filmmaker\, writer\, and actor Rainer Werner Fassbinder. \nPlease note: Light Industry will present a reading by Ian Penman from Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors\, punctuated by the screening of a variety of film clips on May 9. \nAbout Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors:\nMelodrama\, biography\, cold war thriller\, drug memoir\, essay in fragments\, and mystery\, Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors is cult critic Ian Penman’s long-awaited first full-length book: a kaleidoscopic study of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Written over a short period “in the spirit” of RWF\, who would often get films made in a matter of weeks or months\, Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors presents the filmmaker as Penman’s equivalent of what Baudelaire was to Benjamin: an urban poet in the turbulent\, seeds-sown\, messy era just before everything changed. Beautifully written and extraordinarily compelling\, echoing the fragmentary works of Roland Barthes and Emil Cioran\, Eduardo Galeano and Alexander Kluge\, this story has everything: sex\, drugs\, art\, the city\, cinema\, and revolution. \nAbout the speakers:\nIan Penman is a British writer\, music journalist\, and critic. He began his career at the NME in 1977\, later contributing to various publications including The Face\, Arena\, Tatler\, Uncut\, Sight & Sound\, The Wire\, The Guardian\, the London Review of Books\, and City Journal. He is the author of Vital Signs: Music\, Movies\, and Other Manias and It Gets Me Home\, This Curving Track. \nGary Indiana is a novelist and critic who has chronicled the despair and hysteria of America in the late twentieth century and on. From Horse Crazy (1989)\, a tale of feverish love set against the backdrop of downtown New York amid the AIDS epidemic\, to Do Everything in the Dark (2003)\, “a desolate frieze of New York’s aging bohemians” (n+1)\, Indiana’s novels mix horror and bathos\, grim social commentary with passages of tenderest\, frailest desire. With 1997’s Resentment: A Comedy\, Indiana began his true crime trilogy\, following up with Three Month Fever: The Andrew Cunanan Story (1999)\, and Depraved Indifference (2002). In 2015\, Indiana published his acclaimed anti-memoir\, I Can Give You Anything But Love (Rizzoli).

SUMMARY:The Binding of Isaac: Prophecy\, Enlightenment\, Disobedience
DESCRIPTION:Did an angel prevent Abraham from killing his son? In Genesis\, 22:2 obedience to God takes precedence over morality as humanly conceived. Or is the angel a later addition to the text and Abraham actually disobeys the divine command? Philosopher Omri Boehm re-examines religious interpretations of the text and re-opens the philosophical debate between Kant and Kierkegaard\, contending that the monotheistic model of faith presented by Abraham was actually a model of disobedience.\nREGISTER\nUdi Aloni (b. 1959) is a filmmaker\, writer\, visual artist and political activist whose works focus on the interrelationships between art\, theory\, and action. His book\, What Does a Jew Want?\, published by Columbia University Press\, and his last film\, Why is we Americans (2020)\, explored the legacy of African American poet Amiri Baraka. Aloni lives in Berlin\, New York and Tel Aviv. \nOmri Boehm (b. 1979) is a philosopher and associate professor of philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He is known for his interpretation of the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22) and his work on Spinoza and Kant. His latest book\, Radical Universalism\, was published in Germany in 2022. Boehm’s writings have appeared in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Haaretz and Die Zeit\, among others.

SUMMARY:Lotte am Bauhaus
DESCRIPTION:Neue Galerie New York is delighted to present Filmbar\, a movie series set in a relaxed bar atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th century Vienna. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeue Galerie New York is delighted to present Filmbar\, a movie series set in a relaxed bar atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th century Vienna. Tickets include one complimentary drink and snack\, and a movie screening. \nThe Spring 2023 Filmbar Series\, “Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano\,” features a selection of films that form a multifaceted portrait of the Weimar Republic era. This was a time characterized by stark contrasts: hectic innovation while clinging to old traditions\, suffering from the economic pressure of the Great Depression while getting lost in excess\, living the ultimate freedom while facing the increasing danger of looming totalitarianism. \n“Lotte am Bauhaus” \n“Lotte at the Bauhaus” \nDirected by Gregor Schnitzler. 2019. \nIn German; English subtitles. 105 min. \nWeimar\, Germany 1921: According to her father\, the life of 20-year-old Lotte Brendel seems to be a set affair — as a wife and mother at the side of a man who is to take over his parents’ carpentry business. However\, and against the will of her family\, the unconventional and artistically talented Lotte joins a group of young artists\, applies to the Bauhaus and is accepted. The Weimar Bauhaus under the direction of the visionary Walter Gropius aims not only to combine art and craftsmanship\, but also to accommodate the “New Man.” In Bauhäusler Paul Seligmann\, Lotte finds a supporter and her great love. She is given the opportunity to complete her studies as a woman with equal rights guided by world-famous artists such as Lyonel Feininger\, Johannes Itten\, Vasily Kandinsky\, Paul Klee\, and Oskar Schlemmer.  But the break with her family\, questions of equality and political pressure on the Bauhaus create challenges. \nDate and Time:  Friday\, May 12\, 2023 at 6:00 PM \nLocation:  \nNeue Galerie New York \n1048 Fifth Avenue \nNew York\, NY 10028 \nInformation and Tickets
