      <title>H BOX February 1 &#8211; 27,  2010</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000418/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Wednesday&#8211;Sunday: Program 1 at 1 p.m., Program 2 at 3 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  Please note: There will be no screenings on February 10, 13, and 27.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  The H BOX program was initiated in 2006, directed by Benjamin Weil. Each year, four artists are invited to produce a single-channel work in video. A changing selection of eight to ten of those short films have been presented since the late fall of 2007 in a roaming screening hall designed by Paris-based architect/artist Didier Fiuza Faustino. Having launched at Centre Pompidou (Paris), H BOX has since travelled to such European museums as MUSAC, Leon, Spain; MUDAM, Luxembourg; and the Tate Modern in London; before arriving in Yokohama for the 2008 Triennale, and the United States in 2009 (Orange County Museum and Cinema Arts Festival Houston). &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  The New Museum&#8217;s &amp;nbsp;&#8220;out-of-the box&#8221; presentation of H BOX marks the first time that all sixteen H BOX films will be presented together. There will be a short break at the middle of each screening session.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  The roaming screening hall presentation of the most recent H BOX commissions is currently on view at Laboratorio de Arte Alameda until February 15. It will then travel to Fondation Beyeler, Basel, April 15-May 19.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>World Premiere: Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX screening and discussion with Eungie Joo, Keith Haring Director and Curator of Education and Public Programs Saturday, February 13, 2010 |  2:00 PM</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://www.newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000427/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;From November 4-8, 2009, Nikhil Chopra occupied the New Museum lobby gallery in the character of Yog Raj Chitrakar, a turn of the century mapmaker, draughtsman, and chronicler of the world. Inspired by the 1920s and New York City&#8217;s role in that defining moment in the history of the world&#8212;a time of deep physical, imagined, and sociological changes&#8212;&lt;em&gt;Memory Drawing IX&lt;/em&gt; explores the expectation of America, a dream of progress still traceable in the city&#8217;s architecture and imagination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this performance, Chopra traveled for three consecutive days to Ellis Island in character to document New York from this unique vantage point in charcoal on canvas. Each evening, he returned to the New Museum to install his large-scale charcoal drawings, eat, groom, and subtly or abruptly develop as a character. The video premiering this evening documents Yog Raj Chitrakar&#8217;s activities and transformation over the entire five-day performance as he encounters New York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX&lt;br /&gt;
  Editor: Shawna Ferreira&lt;br /&gt;
  Producer: Madhavi Gore&lt;br /&gt;
  Costumes: Loise Braganza &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Special Thanks to Housing Works and Whole Foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX&#8221; [link to exhibition page] is on view through February 14, 2010.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Triple Canopy: The Medium Was Tedium Friday, February 19, 2010 |  7:00 PM</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000424/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Triple Canopy&lt;/em&gt; is an online magazine that explores how the Web informs the experience of reading literature and viewing artworks. The publication&#8217;s development has been inspired in part by a critical engagement with the legacy of &lt;em&gt;Aspen&lt;/em&gt; magazine (1965-71). Artists and writers contributed projects to &lt;em&gt;Aspen&lt;/em&gt; in the form of easily distributable media such as flip books, flexi-disc records, and paper sculpture. These projects coincided with a broader contemporaneous phenomenon: artworks intended to appear exclusively in magazines. The New Silent event, The Medium Was Tedium, examines how this move from the exhibition space to the printed page has been subsequently repeated by artists in relation to other media, such as television programming and the Internet. &lt;em&gt;Triple Canopy&lt;/em&gt;&#8217;s editors will discuss practices that traverse mediums and the media with artists Mel Bochner, Daniel Bozhkov, and Erin Shirreff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Propositions is a public forum that explores ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker&#8217;s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas are presented to the public, responded to, &#8220;researched,&#8221; and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Friday evening per month, an invited artist or cultural thinker will present on an idea in process&#8212;the hypothesis&#8212;as the seminar topic. This initial presentation introduces the seminar leader&#8217;s current thinking on a concept or idea as well as unresolved questions that remain. The next day, starting at noon, an &#8220;expert&#8221; lecture, screening, performance, or activity presents new perspectives or specific knowledge, followed by a lunch break. In an afternoon discussion, hypothesis, research, and public dialogue converge in an informal working session in the fifth-floor Museum as Hub space at the New Museum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Propositions is part of the Museum as Hub initiative, a laboratory for art and ideas realized through a partnership of five international arts organizations that includes Insa Art Space, Seoul; the Museo Tamayo Arte Contempor&#225;neo, Mexico City; the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art, Cairo; and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The initiative seeks to support art activities and experimentation; explore artistic, curatorial, and institutional practice; and serve as an important resource for the public to learn about contemporary art from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Get Weird: Maher Shalal Hash Baz + dogr Thursday, March 11, 2010 |  7:00 PM</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000430/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;For over two decades, Maher Shalal Hash Baz has been pursuing a single-minded vision of music as simple, spontaneous, and unpredictable. Led by the husband/wife team of Tori and Reiko Kudo, the band&#8217;s fluctuating lineup features mostly untrained musicians tackling songs often written the day of performance, expressing the innate beauty of failure as much as of success. By using amateurism and error as compositional devices, the Kudos mutate their odd, gorgeously wide-eyed pop songs into intimate, shambolic visions. Comparable to the heartbreaking beauty of outsider songwriters such as Syd Barrett and Daniel Johnston, Maher Shalal Hash Baz have accumulated an impressive host of fans, including Deerhoof (who have collaborated with them on the 2003 LP &lt;em&gt;Faux Depart&lt;/em&gt;), The Pastels (who founded the record label Geographic specifically to release records by Maher), and The Silver Jews (who covered a Maher song on their 2008 LP).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a background in Baroque, choral gospel, and electro-acoustic music, as well as experimental 16mm filmmaking, dogr sings layered and spatial songs that wind melodic phrases into journeys.&amp;nbsp; His instrumental expertise, artistic conceptualism, and unworldly vocal virtuosity brought dogr to the attention of Mouse on Mars, who produced his debut LP and released it on their label, Sonig. In November 2009, dogr performed at the New Museum as a part of an ongoing collaboration with artist Sung Hwan Kim.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Danspace Project at New Museum presents A Conversation with Elaine Summers Saturday, March 20, 2010 |  3:00 PM</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000420/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The New Museum is pleased to continue our partnership with Danspace Project, which will present a conversation with Elaine Summers, her early collaborators, and a new generation of younger artists currently influenced by her pioneering work. Summers, whose work with Judson Dance Theater in the early 1960s influenced generations of performance, film, music, and dance artists, will reprise seminal works at Danspace Project (at St. Mark's Church) throughout March in conjunction with this event. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Proposition by Rodney McMillian: 13 unrelated ideas Friday, March 26, 2010 |  7:00 PM</title>
      <description>    &lt;p&gt;March 26 - 27: Rodney McMillian&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Friday: 7PM lecture by Rodney McMillian&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday: 3PM Performance by Rodney McMillian, Tracie D. Morris, and Chicava HoneyChild&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Propositions is a public forum that explores ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker&#8217;s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas are presented to the public, responded to, &#8220;researched,&#8221; and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The structure of Propositions is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&#8232;Friday, 7:00 PM &#8211; Initial proposition and lecture&lt;br /&gt;&#8232;Saturday, 12:00 PM &#8211; Guest speaker responds, followed by a lunch break&lt;br /&gt;&#8232;Saturday, 3:00 PM &#8211; Discussion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Friday evening per month, an invited artist or cultural thinker will present on an idea in process&#8212;the hypothesis&#8212;as the seminar topic. This initial presentation introduces the seminar leader&#8217;s current thinking on a concept or idea as well as unresolved questions that remain. The next day, starting at noon, an &#8220;expert&#8221; lecture, screening, performance, or activity presents new perspectives or specific knowledge, followed by a lunch break. In an afternoon discussion, hypothesis, research, and public dialogue converge in an informal working session in the fifth-floor Museum as Hub space at the New Museum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Propositions is part of the Museum as Hub initiative, a laboratory for art and ideas realized through a partnership of five international arts organizations that includes Insa Art Space, Seoul; the Museo Tamayo Arte Contempor&#225;neo, Mexico City; the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art, Cairo; and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The initiative seeks to support art activities and experimentation; explore artistic, curatorial, and institutional practice; and serve as an important resource for the public to learn about contemporary art from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rodney McMillian's practice embraces a wide range of media to investigate social history and culture. He uses conceptual art strategies and applies them to painting to explore its relationship to language and content and its role as an artwork. His installations often incorporate various media, including video, assemblage, sculpture, and painting. In more recent video performances he reveals his intense interest in history and how past events relate to the contemporary political situation. McMillian's work has been exhibited at the 2008 Whitney Biennial, the UCLA Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Herning Art Museum in Copenhagen, and The Royal Academy in London.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Matthew Barney creates frequently large-scale and intricately interconnected work as a sculptor, filmmaker, and performer. His work, which often features a fantastical engagement with the rituals of sports and ceremony, has addressed existential instability and transformation through the pataphysical metaphor of sexual differentiation (among other complex cosmological themes). Barney is the producer and creator of the &lt;em&gt;Cremaster&lt;/em&gt; film cycle, &lt;em&gt;Drawing Restraint 9&lt;/em&gt;, and numerous live performances, including a recent collaboration with Elizabeth Peyton entitled &lt;em&gt;Blood of Two&lt;/em&gt; (2009).Matthew Barney won the Europa 2000 prize at the 45th Venice Biennale in 1996 and was the first recipient of the Guggenheim Museum's Hugo Boss Award in 1996. He received the Kaiser Ring Award in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;

The initiative seeks to support art activities and experimentation; explore artistic, curatorial, and institutional practice; and serve as an important resource for the public to learn about contemporary art from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Matthew Barney creates frequently large-scale and intricately interconnected work as a sculptor, filmmaker, and performer. His work, which often features a fantastical engagement with the rituals of sports and ceremony, has addressed existential instability and transformation through the pataphysical metaphor of sexual differentiation (among other complex cosmological themes). Barney is the producer and creator of the &lt;em&gt;Cremaster&lt;/em&gt; film cycle, &lt;em&gt;Drawing Restraint 9&lt;/em&gt;, and numerous live performances, including a recent collaboration with Elizabeth Peyton entitled &lt;em&gt;Blood of Two&lt;/em&gt; (2009).Matthew Barney won the Europa 2000 prize at the 45th Venice Biennale in 1996 and was the first recipient of the Guggenheim Museum's Hugo Boss Award in 1996. He received the Kaiser Ring Award in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Proposition by Sam Durant Friday, June 25, 2010 |  7:00 PM</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://newmuseum.org/assets/images/events/00000421/major.jpg" /&gt;    &lt;p&gt;June 25-26: Sam Durant&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Friday: 7PM&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday: 12PM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Propositions is a public forum that explores ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker&#8217;s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas are presented to the public, responded to, &#8220;researched,&#8221; and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The structure of Propositions is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, 4:00 PM &#8211; Initial proposition and lecture&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, 12:00 PM &#8211; Guest speaker responds, followed by a lunch break&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, 3:00 PM &#8211; Discussion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Friday evening per month, an invited artist or cultural thinker will present on an idea in process&#8212;the hypothesis&#8212;as the seminar topic. This initial presentation introduces the seminar leader&#8217;s current thinking on a concept or idea as well as unresolved questions that remain. The next day, starting at noon, an &#8220;expert&#8221; lecture, screening, performance, or activity presents new perspectives or specific knowledge, followed by a lunch break. In an afternoon discussion, hypothesis, research, and public dialogue converge in an informal working session in the fifth-floor Museum as Hub space at the New Museum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Propositions is part of the Museum as Hub initiative, a laboratory for art and ideas realized through a partnership of five international arts organizations that includes Insa Art Space, Seoul; the Museo Tamayo Arte Contempor&#225;neo, Mexico City; the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art, Cairo; and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

&lt;p&gt;Sam Durant was born in Seattle in 1961 and studied at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. He has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2002) and the Institute of Visual Arts, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (2002). His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions such as the 8th Bienal de Panam&#225;, 2008; the Busan Biennial, Korea, 2006; and the Whitney Biennial, New York, 2004. In 2007, MIT Press published the monograph &lt;em&gt;Reconsidered, Sam Durant: Scenes from the Pilgrim Story: Myths, Massacres and Monuments&lt;/em&gt;. Durant lives and works in Los Angeles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
