It's Boring to Die: Opening Reception

Van Der Plas Gallery 156 Orchard Street, Lower East Side, New York

"It’s Boring to Die, by Swedish artist Johan Wahlstrom, is a series that embodies XX large, acrylic and ink canvases filled with graphic, naïf heads and torsos in a dark, limited palette of greys, blues, black and blood-red accents. The provocatively titled pieces are social critiques, reflecting the artist’s grapplings with a world of extreme polarities." - Van Der Plas Gallery. Exhibit on view until July 29th.

The Painted Bird Trilogy

La MaMa 68 East 4th St. , East Village, New York

Part of a month-long La MaMa Moves Dance Festival, "The Painted Bird Trilogy is an ambitious, emotionally charged production inspired by the classic and controversial novel of the same name by Polish-born author Jerzy Kosinski. The allegorical novel tells the story of a young boy making his way through war-time Eastern Europe and a brilliantly painted bird that is violently killed by its own flock, which mistakes it for an impostor. Award-winning choreographer and director Pavel Zuštiak excavates the tale’s themes—identity, otherness, displacement, and transformation—in three uniquely staged performance events. His approach integrates dance, video, and visual projections with live music." - La MaMa.
