SUMMARY:2026 Dieu Donné Benefit Online Auction & Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Since its founding in 1976\, Dieu Donné has served as a center for artistic experimentation in hand papermaking\, where artists work collaboratively to explore the medium’s material and conceptual possibilities. \n\n\n\nThis Benefit Auction brings together works by artists from the extended Dieu Donné community\, including past collaborators\, resident artists\, fellows\, and longtime supporters of the studio. The selection reflects the wide range of practices that have intersected with Dieu Donné over the years and offers a glimpse into the creative dialogue that continues to unfold within its Brooklyn workspace.

SUMMARY:Imprinted: Printmaking with Pulp
DESCRIPTION:Visits to the Dieu Donné gallery can be requested on weekdays between the hours of 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Dieu Donné is not open on the weekends. Upon confirmation of visit\, you will be sent an entry pass to enter the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Please note we require 2-3 business days notice and schedule as availability allows. \n\n\n\nDieu Donne is pleased to present Imprinted\, an exhibition exploring the application of printmaking techniques in hand papermaking. Coinciding with the presentation of the IFPDA Print Fair and the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair\, this exhibition demonstrates the longstanding exchange between the two methods. Entirely drawn from Dieu Donné’s extensive collections archive\, the exhibition includes examples of etching\, solvent transfers\, embossing\, risograph\, letterpress\, and screenprinting. Tammy Nguyen’s work alone includes photogravure\, silkscreen\, chine collé\, rubber stamping\, and letterpress.  \n\n\n\nScreenprinting\, the most frequently featured process here\, involves pushing diluted pulp “paint” through silkscreens onto a wet base sheet. The process can achieve graphic clarity at a large scale\, as in Tatiana Ginsberg’s work\, but it is also used by Noel W Anderson and Katharine L. DeLamater to distort imagery. Matthew Kirk and John Beech use embossing to create abstract sculptural impressions\, while legendary printmaker Robert Blackburn combined etching with stenciled paper pulp to produce a grayscale composition of stacked and swirling forms. Several artists\, including Lesley Dill\, Alison Knowles\, and Suzanne McClelland\, employed various printmaking techniques to incorporate language into their work. Dieu Donné’s Founding Artistic Director\, Paul Wong\, augmented his handmade paper and laminate cast sculptures with diagrammatic illustrations that draw on his Chinese heritage. \n\n\n\nAt Dieu Donné\, paper is more than just a substrate for other mediums. This presentation demonstrates how artists working in our studio have embedded printmaking into the paper itself.

SUMMARY:NYTM Exhibitions: FAREwell\, MetroCard\, & The Subway Is…\, & Ticket to ride
DESCRIPTION:On view through May 31\, 2026The Subway Is…You take it to work\, to school\, or for a night out. It’s become a shorthand for New York — or urbanity in the abstract. It’s the New York City subway. It moves millions of people — and has since the day it opened on October 27th\, 1904. Using images and objects from the Museum collection\, this exhibit explores some of the endless ways to complete the sentence\, “The Subway Is…” \nTicket To RideThrough archival photographs\, ephemera\, and objects from the Transit Museum’s extensive collection\, Ticket to Ride shows the evolution of fare collection across all of New York’s modes of transportation. Visitors will see and touch different types of collection equipment such as turnstiles and fare boxes\, get a sense the colossal process of fare collection\, and see some of the people who make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to go. \nFAREwell\, MetroCard traces the rise and retirement of the iconic fare card that reshaped daily life for millions of New Yorkers. When the MetroCard debuted in 1994\, its mission was twofold: introduce new technology to the transit system and speed the elimination of tokens as a way to pay fares. In the decades that followed\, the MetroCard became almost as iconic as the token itself\, bearing safety reminders\, commemorating anniversaries\, and celebrating cultural moments. As OMNY becomes the new way to pay\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the MetroCard’s origins\, its systemwide rollout\, the technology behind it\, and the many ways it became a cultural icon for a generation of riders.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present\, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801\, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards\, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant\, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858. Inside the exhibition\, visitors will get an extensive history of the site through detailed wall text and a variety of artifacts and objects that span across centuries. \nThe exhibition is the first exhibition to tell the Yard’s story and was originally installed in 2011 with great community support from both organizations and neighborhood residents alike. Ultimately\, the exhibition aims to introduce contemporary audiences to the generations of people who worked\, transformed\, lived\, and shaped the Yard over time\, and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

SUMMARY:Cover Girl
DESCRIPTION:If the harp makes you think of arpeggios bubbling in the background at fancy-dress balls\, time to update what you know. The instrument has been at the heart of music-making around the world for over 5\,000 years\, lending its distinctive sound to worship services and rituals\, social celebrations and dances. And in the hands of harpist Ashley Jackson\, there’s nothing the instrument can’t do. At BAM\, she joins resident artist and curator Helga Davis for an in-depth conversation\, along with a performance featuring highlights from throughout her career.

SUMMARY:Hamlet/The Furies
DESCRIPTION:Something is rotten in Denmark\, in Argos… and in the United States of America. \n\n\n\nThis spring\, Irondale presents Hamlet/The Furies\, a bold two-act theatrical event that brings together William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and The Furies\, drawn from Aeschylus’s Oresteia\, in a single\, continuous evening. Performed by the Irondale ensemble and directed by Irondale co-founder Jim Niesen\, these ancient stories collide to illuminate the present moment—one marked by contested power\, fragile institutions\, and an urgent hunger for justice. \n\n\n\nRather than treating these works as historical artifacts\, Irondale uses them as living source material—cautionary tales that echo uncomfortably close to home. Written more than 2\,000 years apart\, Hamlet and The Furies are woven together to examine what happens when systems meant to protect society begin to fail\, and when the line between justice and revenge becomes dangerously blurred. \n\n\n\n“These plays aren’t about the past—they’re about patterns we keep repeating.”— Jim Niesen\, Director \n\n\n\nAct I: Hamlet\n\n\n\nShakespeare’s tragedy pulls us into the intimate reckoning of a son carrying the weight of a crime he did not commit. Trapped between moral clarity and decisive action\, Hamlet navigates a world already coming apart—a world where corruption is normalized\, truth is slippery\, and doing “the right thing” carries devastating consequences. \n\n\n\nAct II: The Furies\n\n\n\nThe scope widens from one family to an entire society. In The Furies\, Irondale stages the pivotal moment when justice shifts from personal vengeance to a civic legal system. But this transition is not presented as a clean victory. Instead\, it reveals a troubling handoff of power—one shaped by pressure\, persuasion\, and unequal voices—raising unsettling questions about whose lives are protected\, whose are sacrificed\, and whether justice has truly been achieved or merely managed. \n\n\n\n‍

SUMMARY:Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off an ongoing partnership between BAM and the National Theatre\, director Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat) brings his witty\, fearlessly contemporary take on Hamlet across the Atlantic for a four-week run. Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) stars in this sharp\, darkly funny reimagining of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. \n\n\n\nSince its first staging at BAM in 1861\, Hamlet has returned more than a dozen times\, helmed by luminaries like Ingmar Bergman\, Peter Brook\, and Thomas Ostermeier. Now\, Hastie’s fresh new production marks yet another groundbreaking entry into BAM’s legacy of daring Hamlets.

SUMMARY:Maya Man: StarQuest
DESCRIPTION:Harvestworks and Roulette are pleased to co-present Maya Man’s performance-lecture StarQuest. The program will include an introduction by Harvestworks Interim Director Ivana Dama\, followed by a conversation with Christiane Paul\, Curator of Digital Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The performance is supported by Harvestworks’ 2026 Special Project Award.  \n\n\n\nStarQuest is a generative\, software-based body of work that dives into the high-stakes world of youth competitive dance. Inspired by Man’s own childhood as a competitive dancer\, AI-generated dancers glide and spin across the screen in an ever-shifting sequence\, pausing to share their anxieties in confessionals akin to the reality TV show Dance Moms. What emerges is an uneasy mix of sincerity and simulation.  \n\n\n\nThe performance-lecture\, written and performed by the artist\, integrates her generative work\, online content\, and choreography to consider the parallels between competition dance culture in America and today’s algorithmic ecosystem that encourages a quantifiable performance of self. \n\n\n\nThe performance directly follows her exhibition\, StarPower\, on view at bitforms gallery in New York City through May 2nd\, 2026. A closing reception for the exhibition will be held on Saturday\, May 2\, 5–8PM. All are welcome to attend ahead of the performance. More details on the exhibition are available here. \n\n\n\nStarQuest was previously co-presented by Triple Canopy and Feral File in New York City in November 2025 at Gibney: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center with curator Nora O’Murchu and by bitforms\, SOOT\, and the Future Humans program at the Berggruen Institute in Los Angeles in February 2026 at L.A. Dance Project with curator Alice Scope. Special thank you to Mackenzie Davenport\, Camille Wong\, Yuchi Ma\, Eden Reinfurt\, and Tina Tarighian. \n\n\n\nThis program is supported in-part by mediaThe Foundation.
