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:Rumble 'n' Rattle
DESCRIPTION:April 18 – May 24\, 2026\nOpening Reception + Performance: Saturday\, May 2\, 7-9pmJoin us during our open hours prior to May 2 to see the work in progress as it evolves! \nOpen Source Gallery is pleased to present Rumble ‘n’ Rattle\, a project by Albrecht Fersch. \nBeginning in April\, Fersch has taken up residency in the gallery\, sourcing materials from the community to transform the space and its occupants into a participatory instrument. During his time at Open Source\, Fersch will create costumes covered with mallets\, sticks\, and thick wires and hang objects that will make sounds when they are struck. The resulting installation will be an instrument that is activated by movement and dependent on the ever-changing relationship between gallery visitors and the machines. Within this instrument\, bodies will become sound and sounds will become communication\, without the need for known language. Learn more at open-source-gallery.org/albrecht-fersch \nThe exhibition will be on view through May 24th. Our open hours are Thursdays + Fridays from 4-6pm and Saturdays + Sundays from 2-6pm.

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.
