Lara M. Evans and Manuela Well-Off-Man, renowned art historians and curators, will be hosting a thought-provoking discussion on the Institute of American Indian Arts’ (IAIA) exhibition, "Action/Abstraction Redefined." This highly anticipated event will take place in New York City at the prestigious New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, located at 8 West 8th Street.

During the conversation, Evans and Well-Off-Man will delve into the exploration of Native artists in the experimental art movements of the twentieth century. These groundbreaking artists have not only contributed to the language of contemporary Native art but have also redefined the very concept of abstraction itself.

Lara M. Evans, a member of the Cherokee Nation, brings her extensive knowledge and expertise as an art historian based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her impressive credentials include a PhD from the University of New Mexico, as well as her recent curatorial project at the renowned Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Invitational 2023: Sharing Honors and Burdens. Currently, Dr. Evans serves as the Vice President of Programs for First Peoples Fund, where she is dedicated to building arts infrastructure for Native communities.

Manuela Well-Off-Man, an art historian and chief curator at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, will also be sharing her valuable insights. With a PhD in art history from the Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany, and a master's degree in art history, archaeology, and pedagogy from the University of Cologne, Germany, Well-Off-Man has curated numerous national and international contemporary Native American art exhibitions and authored a plethora of catalog essays and magazine articles.

This exceptional event is not to be missed by art enthusiasts and individuals interested in exploring the rich cultural history of Native art. Whether attending in person or joining virtually via Zoom, be sure to register early to secure a spot for this enlightening discussion.

Empire State Building

iQOO🐮

As I ascended the Empire State Building observation deck, the lights of Manhattan gradually illuminated the twilight, like a galaxy inverted on the earth. The cold wind jingled the love locks on the railings, and the streaks of light from the yellow taxis below reminded me of the time-traveling encounter in &quot;Sleepless in Seattle.&quot; On the 86th floor, in a corner, I spotted an elderly couple, their wrinkled wool scarves billowing like gentle sails in the night breeze, quietly embracing through binoculars. As neon signs flashed in the distance, I suddenly understood why this city forever attracts dreamers&mdash;not because of its height, but because behind every window lies an untamed yearning.

Museums

Themed exhibition halls

Getting lost at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a kind of bliss&mdash;turning past Roman columns, you suddenly stumble upon the Temple of Dendur, the Nile&#39;s mist seemingly still condensed on the sandstone. Lingering for a long time before &quot;Riverside Scene&quot; in the Chinese gallery, one can almost hear the pine trees whispering in Fan Kuan&#39;s ink-wash landscape. Most wondrously, in the European armor gallery, a knight&#39;s visor still bears the marks of 1547, while a Giacometti sculpture in the adjacent modern gallery speaks to it with a similarly rugged posture. Sitting in the tiered lobby at closing time, listening to an impromptu piano performance, twilight streaming through the glass dome onto Rodin&#39;s &quot;The Gates of Hell,&quot; you suddenly feel that the entire museum is like an ark carrying human civilization, with each exhibit an anchor point for its journey.

The Museum of Modern Art

Upon first seeing the original &quot;Starry Night&quot; on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh&#39;s swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama&#39;s Infinity Mirror Room&mdash;millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp&#39;s urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.

Central Park

Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city&#39;s rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of &quot;Imagine&quot; flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops&mdash;in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.
