March 2018

NEW YORK

I am the opposite of a hoarder. I delight in throwing out old clothes and long-neglected boots: A minimalist closet makes my feng shui soul smile. Which is why I think Rent the Runway, a shop in the Flatiron District that rents out formal and casual outfits from top designers, is a brilliant concept— less stuff in the closets! (see p. 14). On the subject of downsizing, I loved Sonia Weiser’s feature on Off-Broadway theaters (p. 22), which spotlights a group of fine playhouses that show wonderful dramas , comedies and musicals in theaters a little smaller (and less expensive) than Broadway.

Not too long ago, art lovers headed straight to Chelsea or the Upper East Side for the city’s top galleries, but artists and their landlords have now expanded to other neighborhoods around town: You can find out where on p. 20. Happy reading!

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN With a parent gallery in Brussels, CLEARING is an innovative artistic space that can be found in this northern Brooklyn neighborhood. Like its European counterpart, this stateside location dedicates itself to showcasing the artwork of contemporary young artists from across the globe. Artists featured in this gallery include Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel, whose “Rosa Aurora Rosa,” which was created out of the duo’s exploration of bidets, sinks and soap dishes, is a work of marble in varying shades of pink.

Also in Bushwick is Signal, which, in 2012, was officially transformed from rug storage space into an art gallery. Opened by friends Kyle Jacques and Alexander Johns, Signal is dedicated to showcasing works by emerging artists, while also providing spaces for nontraditional art forms, like performance art. Signal also plays host to annual local events, including Bushwick’s Art Book & Zine Fair, usually held in July.

RED HOOK, BROOKLYN Bringing thought-provoking art to Red Hook, Pioneer Works is an experimental and interdisciplinary production space that can be found in this seaside-like Brooklyn neighborhood. The gallery strives to push boundaries in order to create a provocative cultural environment for its visitors.

Upcoming Pioneer Works exhibits, adhering to the gallery’s tradition of showcasing mixed-media and other works, range from

a televisual, performative display to this month’s six colossal light works by New York-based artist Anthony McCall.

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN Unlike other NYC-based galleries, The City Reliquary bridges the gap between past and present by celebrating the artistic history that makes up the creative city it calls home. Its origins date back to 2002, when founder Dave Herman transformed his apartment on the corner of Grand and Havemeyer Streets into an interactive window display. Since those humble beginnings, The City Reliquary has moved to Metropolitan Avenue and today houses a smorgasbord of exhibits that tell the story of New York City through odd and engaging artifacts.

THE LOWER EAST SIDE, MANHATTAN Invisible-Exports, previously located on Orchard Street, is another city art hub that is home to works, always innovative and sometimes controversial, created by a variety of contemporary artists. Since moving to its Eldridge Street location in 2013, the art space has showcased conceptual pieces that have an alternative cultural flair. Cutting-edge art aficionados and traditional art lovers alike can all appreciate the work on display. Currently on view is an exhibit by modernist Scott Treleaven, with collages of his own photographs, and text paintings and new ceramics by American visual artist Cary Leibowitz.

WHE RE I M A R C H 2018

If you’re craving theater in New York, your first instinct may be to hightail it over to Times Square and see what play or musical still has a few open seats. But Broadway isn’t the only option for live entertainment—Off-Broadway shows are no less worthy of your attention. The productions can be mesmerizing, inventive and just as moving as their more expensive counterparts. And don’t forget: Off-Broadway is where “Hamilton” and “The Band’s Visit” both got their start.

La MaMa Since the 1960s, La MaMa has been a laboratory for untraditional productions from emerging and established artists. Initially a single, subterranean theater,

La MaMa now holds programming in its three-building campus, including theatrical productions, educational series, readings and visual-art exhibitions. This month, La MaMa presents the climate-change-centric “Extreme Whether” and “Distant Observer: Tokyo/New York Correspondence,” a collaboration between two playwrights and developed in Tokyo. Tickets for performances are $25 at most.

Barrow Street Theatre Immersive theater continues to have its moment with the Tooting Arts Club production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” at the Barrow Street Theatre in the West Village. Rather than

placing the action in a traditional venue, the play is staged within an exact replica of the London pie shop Harrington’s—the site of the show’s first run in 2014. You can even get an on-site “pie and mash” dinner before the performance begins. Fair warning though: Not only is “Sweeney Todd” bloody, this production is also not cheap.

Partial-view seats start at $55, and the optional pre-performance meal costs $22.50.

Daryl Roth Theatre Originally the site of the Union Square Savings Bank, the Daryl Roth Theatre is now the current residence for “In & Of Itself,” a one man show written by and starring magician Derek DelGaudio. Opening last April, “In & Of Itself” has extended its initial 10-week run three times, thanks to DelGaudio’s power to amaze even the most jaded of audience members. If DelGaudio’s name doesn’t ring a bell, you may recognize that of the executive producer: Neil Patrick Harris.

SoHo Playhouse Once the site of General George Washington’s headquarters, the building was transformed into a theater in the 1920s before coming under the direction of Edward Albee in the 1960s. Now, the SoHo Playhouse is host to both long-running, weekly shows and limited engagements. In March, two award-winning, one-person productions take the stage: “Nanette,” from the Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby, and “Rap Guide to Consciousness,” from the Canadian rapper, playwright and educator Baba Brinkman. This month also marks the final performances of “Broad Comedy,” the highly acclaimed, all-female, weekly musical parody show.

59E59 Home to three theaters, 59E59 hosts a steady stream of national and international works, providing a platform for nonprofit theater companies to showcase their talents. With performances six nights per week and 50 weeks out of the year, 59E59 has multiple plays overlapping in March, all of which feature small casts and boundarypushing plots with subjects ranging from love to race to religion to art itself.

The Public For over 60 years, The Public has maintained its status as one of the city’s greatest cultural institutions, and this

year is no different. The original home to Lin- Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” the East Village multistage theater boasts incredible star power in front of and behind its curtains, as well as in its more intimate cabaretstyle venue, Joe’s Pub. Between the two spaces, there’s at least one performance nearly every night this month, including the new play “Kings,” written by Sarah Burgess and directed by Thomas Kail (who also directed “Hamilton”), about a lobbyist in Washington; and “The Low Road,” from award-winning playwright Bruce Norris and director Michael Greif.

Ars Nova This month, Ars Nova, a Hell’s Kitchen nonprofit theater space, presents the world premiere of “The Lucky Ones,” a musical by Sarah Gancher and indierock duo The Bengsons (Abigail Nessen Bengson and Shaun McClain Bengson).

Directed by Anne Kauffman, the play explores the themes of family, faith and love to the soundtrack of indie folk-rock and stars a cast from both stage and screen.

Tickets range from $25 to $65, depending on date and ordering method; the show is presented by Ars Nova but housed at the Connelly Theater in the East Village. Clearly, there is plenty to see around town besides shows on the Great White Way. And even better news: Many of these shows may be available at discount prices at the four TKTS booths around the city. Curtains up!
