Dunkunsthalle Spring/Summer Programming 2023
What's upcoming and what you may have missed.
Internetausdrucker Bookstore: Extended Hours
Last month, Rhizome kicked off the start of their curatorial residency at Dunkunsthalle with Internetausdrucker Bookstore & Reading Room. "Internetausdrucker," a mocking German word literally, "a person who prints out the Internet" that grew in popularity during the 2010s, was used to describe people who were slow to adapt to the digital lifestyle and would print out email threads and other online materials rather than reading them on screen. Now, as part of their curatorial residency at Dunkunsthalle, Rhizome has reinterpreted the term as the concept behind their printed matter pop-up bookshop and reading room.
Bookstore hours have been extended through the end of May. On Thursdays from 12-7pm, visitors to Dunkunsthalle can browse "printed Internet" materials by Rhizome program participants such as Inpatient Press, Christopher Clary, Do Not Research, Roopa Vasudevan, and more. Along with books, posters, and clothing for sale, Rhizome has curated a selection of their office library for reading within the space.
To the White Sea: Coen Brothers Study Group
The “To White Sea" programming series continues with a Coen Brothers Study Group a Dunkunsthalle – May 10th at 7:30pm. In the words of host Jordan Fish:
In this live event we invite the public to bring any thoughts they may have about the work of the Coens. Each week we choose a theme to focus our discussion; this week's theme is TEAMWORK. The evening will feature film analysis, surprise guests, and parlour games.
The program is companion with the "To the White Sea" podcast, hosted by filmmakers Jordan Fish and Ray Tintori about the films of the Coen brothers through the prism of one of their unproduced screenplays.
NADA PANEL
Dunkunsthalle founder Rachel Rossin, alongside Makayla Bailey (Rhizome), Paul Hill (Strada), and Simon Wu (Arkive), will appear on a NADA panel about Alternative Art Models. The group will share insights on the importance of art spaces outside the traditional white-box model and underscore the significance of such spaces in nurturing emergent artistic talent and community. The panelists will speak about their visions to redesign the art world, aligned with models that foster community, education, and resource sharing.
On May 18th at 3:00 pm, head to 535 W 22nd Street, 4th Floor for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of the art world.
NEW INC DEMO2023
From June 21 to 23, NEW INC, the cultural incubator of The New Museum, will hold the DEMO2023 Festival, an expansion of its Demo Day event from years prior. The festival will showcase 25 current NEW INC members' interdisciplinary projects, exploring new models in art, design, technology, science, and entrepreneurship.
