The transitional states between death and either the attainment of spiritual enlightenment or the return to the cycle of rebirth are explored in Bardo: The Tibetan Art of the Afterlife. For centuries, Tantric Buddhism has used tools that aid in the preparation for hallucinatory visions that appear in the afterlife. Only by recognizing these visions as illusory can buddhahood be attained.

Tibetans know Mount Everest as Chomolungma, "Mother Goddess of the Earth," the place where the land touches the heavens. In her shadow lies the rugged expanse of the Rongbuk Valley where photographer Tom Wool spent four weeks capturing images in 2001. His sensitive photographs of religious and village life provide a glimpse into this remote land.

Rubin Museum of Art:

Remember That You Will Die: Death Across Cultures explores the concepts of death and the afterlife in the European and Himalayan traditions from about the fourteenth century to the present. Societies rooted in these cultures have developed complex notions of death, often with startling visual counterparts.

The Joan Mitchell Foundation 2009 MFA Grant Recipients Show

Rubin Museum of Art:

Tradition Transformed: Tibetan Artists Respond marks the first exhibition of contemporary Tibetan art in a New York City museum. The nine Tibetan artists featured each explore contemporary issues--personal, political, and cultural--by integrating the centuries-old traditional imagery, techniques, and materials found in Tibetan Buddhist art with modern influences and media.

For three electrifying weeks, Savion Glover's SoLE PoWER takes over The Joyce. Since 1996 when his show Bring In da Noise, Bring In da Funk ignited Broadway, Glover has dazzled audiences with his astounding technique, fancy footwork and blinding speed, all of which make him one of the most virtuosic choreographers and performers working today. Glover's "strength doesn't stop at his feet," proclaims The New York Times. "It pumps through his body, lanky and tightly wound, radiating out like an electrical force."

Tickets start at $10

Curated by Miriam Katz

This group exhibition features New York-based artists who make work with, for, and about strangers. For each video, photograph, installation, and performance, artists cast out lines to remote neighbors who (wittingly or not) become active partners in creating the work. The resulting projects realign and sometimes undermine extant social relations and artistic intentions, engaging and confounding issues of authorship, exchange, generosity, and chance. Interactions both off site and within the gallery will continuously shape the exhibition’s content over the course of the show.

The artists in the exhibition include: Einat Amir, Daniel Bozhkov, Xavier Cha, Eteam, Hope Hilton, Nancy Hwang, and Dave McKenzie.
