SIMON LEUNG: CITY OF SQUATTERS
After the Plaster Foundation, or, “Where can we live?”
Tuesday, January 12, 2021 – 2:00pm to 3:30pm – Online

On January 12th, artist Simon Leung presents City of Squatters, an online lecture-performance which meditates on two parallel bodies of work that Leung began in the early 1990s: a series of “squatting” projects and a long term collaboration with the late Warren Niesluchowski. This performative piece is a response to the Jack Smith-inspired title of the Queens Museum exhibition— After the Plaster Foundation, or, “Where can we live?” —through which Leung looks at three decades of work against the backdrop of 2020. Check out Josh Lubin-Levy’s essay to learn more about the work of the downtown artist Jack Smith through the lens of Smith’s preoccupation with “landlordism” and rent. For the exhibition’s online publication, Leung provides context for City of Squatters and also discusses the two video installations currently on view at the museum: War after War, 2011 and POE, 2007/2010/2020.

El artista Simon Leung presentará el 12 de enero City of Squatters (“Ciudad de okupas”), una conferencia-actuación que reflexiona acerca de dos trabajos paralelos que el propio Leung comenzó a principios de los 90: una serie de proyectos de “okupación” y una colaboración a largo plazo con el difunto Warren Niesluchowski. Esta obra es una respuesta al título de la exposición del Queens Museum, inspirado por Jack Smith, After the Plaster Foundation, or, “Where can we live?”. En ella, Leung repasa tres décadas de trabajo con el año 2020 como telón de fondo. En el ensayo de Josh Lubin-Levy’s encontrará más información sobre el trabajo del artista local Jack Smith a través de su preocupación por las prácticas abusivas de lxs propietarixs y el alquiler. En la online publication de la exposición, Leung proporciona algo de contexto para City of Squatters y comenta las dos instalaciones de vídeo que se exhiben ahora en el museo: War after War, 2011, y POE, 2007/2010/2020.

ULRIKE MÜLLER AND AMY ZION IN CONVERSATION WITH LYNNE COOKE
Thursday, January 14, 2021 – 7:00pm to 8:00pm – Online

Join us for a conversation with Ulrike Müller and independent curator Amy Zion on their collaborative project The Conference of the Animals. Oriented along the 45-foot-high wall that encircles The Panorama of the City of New York, the project responds to Queens Museum’s building history. Müller and Zion will discuss the intersections of politics and play, and the under-recognized value of art by children and its relation to the power of scale to shift our understanding of ideas, spaces, and ourselves. They are joined by scholar and curator of self-taught and Avant-Garde art Lynne Cooke, Senior Curator for Special Projects at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC and moderator Larissa Harris, Queens Museum Curator 2009-2020.

Únase a nuestra conversación con Ulrike Müller y la comisaria independiente Amy Zion acerca de su proyecto colaborativo The Conference of the Animals. El proyecto se ubica a lo largo de la pared de 45 pies (14 m) que rodea el Panorama de la Ciudad de Nueva York y hace referencia a la historia de la construcción del Queens Museum. Müller y Zion comentarán la intersección entre política y juego y la escasa valoración de la que goza el arte infantil y su relación con el poder de la escala para dar forma a nuestra comprensión de ideas, de espacios y de nosotrxs mismxs. Participarán también la especialista y comisaria de arte vanguardista y autodidacta Lynne Cooke, comisaria superior de proyectos especiales en la Galería Nacional de Arte de Washington, DC, y la moderadora Larissa Harris, comisaria del Queens Museum del 2009 al 2020.
