SUMMARY:Book Launch for Seven Sisters and a Brother—Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s: Marilyn Allman Maye\, Harold S. Buchanan\, Jannette O. Domingo and Marilyn Holifield with Brent Staples \n\n\n\n\nHenry Louis Gates\, Jr. has called Seven Sisters and a Brother “compelling portraits of the lives of the young people who risked their futures to make a difference.” \nFour of the eight authors will sit down with Brent Staples of the New York Times to discuss their experiences as activists in an elite liberal arts college in the 1960s. When the eight students at Swarthmore College demanded a Black Studies curriculum and protested the decreased enrollment and hiring of African Americans in 1969\, the peaceful protest was misreported through a negative lens. This long overdue choral memoir chronicles their eight-day sit-in. It is a story of great relevance at a time in which first-generation college students and millennial activists have demonstrated a desire for increased political engagement. According to Congresswoman Donna Shalala\, “Theirs is a story of the power of collective action\, the value of shared identity\, and the thrill of progress.” \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Marino Marini and Henry Moore: An Italian Friendship
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the friendship between two of the most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century\, Henry Moore and Marino Marini. Having met through the New York art dealer Curt Valentin\, throughout the 1960s and 1970s they often spent time together on the coast of Tuscany in Italy\, where Marini lived and Moore had a holiday home. In 1962 Marini made a portrait bust of Moore at his Forte dei Marmi villa. United by a love for Michelangelo’s sculpture\, which was famously made from marble sourced from the nearby quarries in Carrara\, and by a desire to both revisit and modernize the European tradition of sculpture\, of which Tuscany offered many exceptional examples\, Moore and Marini shared many creative concerns and greatly admired each other. The talk will also consider the network of friendships and professional contacts around the two sculptors\, from the master carvers at stone merchants Henraux to prominent artists and intellectuals such as Jacques Lipchitz and Eugenio Montale. \nSebastiano Barassi is the Head of Collections & Exhibitions at the Henry Moore Foundation in the United Kingdom. \nPlease\, join us for a prior to the lecture for a complimentary reception with a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres hosted by Santi Wines.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:MoMA PS1 presents an afternoon of programming that examines the destruction of Iraqi heritage by the allied forces during the Gulf wars. Scholarship and mainstream attention surrounding the destruction and preservation of cultural heritage in Iraq have tended to focus largely on antiquity. This critical conversation expands this scope to not only address archeological sites and artifacts\, but to also focus on the living contemporary culture of Iraq\, posing questions about how culture is perceived\, instrumentalized\, and valued during times of war and occupation. \nMedical anthropologist Omar Dewachi\, whose research focuses on the intersection of global health\, the history of medicine\, and political anthropology\, leads the discussion. He is joined by Zahra Ali\, Zainab Bahrani\, David Harvey\, and Zainab Saleh. Following the presentations\, participants will come together in a conversation moderated by Ali. \nThe discussion is followed by a concert from renowned Iraqi maqam vocalist Hamid Al-Saadi performing with the celebrated ensemble Safaafir featuring Amir ElSaffar.

SUMMARY:Jeanne Proust Discusses Time at the Strand Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Jeanne Proust aptly discusses the concept of ‘Time’ through a philosophical lens. \nTime appears as one of these concepts impossible to define\, nor to perceive as such. Augustine writes\, “What then is time? If no one asks me\, I know; if I want to explain it to a questioner\, I do not know”. Indeed\, though impossible to deny its existence\, since it seems to be part of the necessary framework (with space) in which we can perceive at all\, time cannot be accurately described. None of our 5 senses perceives it: we don’t see\, hear\, touch time. Even if time is intimately experienced\, impossible to get out of\, and an essential dimension of our experience and existence\, it still is extremely difficult to think about it\, grasp it – and certainly\, to control it. \nHow do we experience time passing? What is the past\, the present and the future\, and how does our conception of them shape the way we behave and think? The irreversibility\, the ephemerality of time is at the core of our existence – as is our mortality\, our very finitude. \nTeacher: Jeanne Proust\nJeanne Proust’s research focuses on Théodule Ribot’s Diseases of the Will\, both in philosophical and psychological perspectives. While teaching at different universities here in New York\, Jeanne is advocating for a widening of philosophical education beyond the academic frontiers.

So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable\, too? \nCalhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs\, HR trends\, credit card debt averages\, and divorce data. At every turn\, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials\, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age\, problems that were being largely overlooked. \nSpeaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to “have it all\,” Calhoun found that most were exhausted\, terrified about money\, under-employed\, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard\, they were told instead to lean in\, take “me-time\,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. \nIn Why We Can’t Sleep\, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring\, empowering\, and essential reading for all middle-aged women\, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

SUMMARY:The Iconic Flatiron Building
DESCRIPTION:When the Flatiron Building was erected in 1902\, critics savaged it. But this oddly-shaped building at the intersection of 23rd Street\, Broadway and Fifth Avenue immediately won New Yorkers’ hearts. In later years\, as the surrounding neighborhood turned shabby\, the Flatiron remained a beloved symbol of New York. \nJournalist Alice Sparberg Alexiou\, author of The Flatiron: The New York Landmark and the Extraordinary City That Arose With It\, will talk about what this iconic structure means to the city\, the world\, and to her. The book formed the basis for a documentary that was part of the ongoing WNET series Treasures of New York. \nAlexiou is also the author of Jane Jacobs\, Urban Visionary and Devil’s Mile: The Rich\, Gritty History of the Bowery.

SUMMARY:Escher and the Droste Effect
DESCRIPTION:In 1956\, the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher made an unusual lithograph. Titled “Prentententoonstelling” (or\, “Print Gallery”)\, the piece shows a young man standing in an exhibition gallery viewing a print of a Mediterranean seaport. Among the buildings depicted in the twisting print\, the man paradoxically sees the very same gallery in which he is standing. Curiously\, Escher left the middle of the lithograph blank\, filling it with only his monogram and signature. \nIn this lecture\, Hendrik W. Lenstra will discuss interactions between mathematics and M.C. Escher’s artwork. A mathematical analysis of the methods used by Escher leads to a series of hallucinating computer animations that show\, among others\, what’s in the blurry blank hole in the middle of the piece. \n4:15-5pm: TEA \n5pm-6:15pm: LECTURE \n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\nLenstra received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the Universiteit van Amsterdam in 1977. He was a full professor at the university from 1978 until 1986\, and then at the University of California\, Berkeley\, from 1987 until 2003\, and since 1998 at the Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands. Lenstra is best known for introducing advanced techniques in the area of number-theoretic algorithms. These techniques have important applications in computer security. Lenstra has been a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Science since 1984 and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1996. In 1998\, he won the Spinoza Award\, the highest scientific honor in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Daniel Levitin: Successful Aging
DESCRIPTION:Author of the iconic bestsellers This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind\, Daniel Levitin turns his keen insights to what happens in our brains as we age\, why we should think about health span\, not life span\, and\, based on a rigorous analysis of neuroscientific evidence\, what you can do to make the most of your seventies\, eighties\, and nineties today no matter how old you are now.\n\nSuccessful Aging uses research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences to show that sixty-plus years is a unique developmental stage that\, like infancy or adolescence\, has its own demands and distinct advantages. Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously\, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people’s wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means\, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical\, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. \nThe book is packed with accessible and discussable takeaways\, providing great material for reading groups and media coverage. \nSuccessful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades\, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals\, family members\, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise. \nJoin us in the Rare Book room at The Strand for the release of Levitin’s new book. \nDoors open at 6:30pm. \nAdmission: $15 \nAdmission with signed copy of the book: $30
