Ramin Bahrani sets his story of a 12-year-old Latino boy and his older sister in the no-man’s-land that is Willet’s Point, Queens, a 20-block stretch of junkyards and chop shops (where stolen cars are dismantled for parts), overshadowed by Shea Stadium’s giant billboard: “Make Dreams Happen.” Perhaps it is because Bahrani and co-author Bahareh Azimi are both of Iranian descent that they are able to conjure up an outsider’s reality with such palpable compassion and realism. Without a smidgeon of sentimentality, Chop Shop suggests that for many New York City is closer to a third world country than the glittering jewel in the crown of a land of infinite opportunity.
"Raw and probing. A low-budget vérité triumph. You can't shake it off as just a movie." – David Edelstein, New York Magazine

This permanent collection installation features both acquisitions from Karl Nierendorf’s galleries in Berlin and New York and from the gallerist’s estate. Formerly a banker, German-born Karl Nierendorf (1889–1947) began his career in the art trade in 1920 in Cologne. In 1936 Nierendorf immigrated to the U.S.A. and established the Nierendorf Gallery in New York, where he encountered Hilla Rebay (1890–1967) and the newly established Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Nierendorf promoted artists represented in the Guggenheim collection, including Lyonel Feininger, Perle Fine, and Franz Marc, which led the Foundation to purchase a number of important works for its collection from Nierendorf Gallery.

Nik Bärtsch’s music occupies a niche all its own, equidistant from contemporary composition, funk/soul grooves and scattered world musics. What to call it? “Zen funk” is one of Bärtsch’s terms for his pieces, “ritual groove music” is another. It is music that can claim the widest influences – in interviews Bärtsch has referenced Stravinsky, Morton Feldman, Bartók, James Brown, the Meters, ritual music of Japan, folk music of Greece, Romania, Sweden.

HELLO FAILURE By Kristen Kosmas

TIMES: Monday, Thursday – Saturday 8:00PM
Sunday 6:30PM
PRICE: $12 for CAAL members (regularly $18)

Discounted tickets are subject to availability; code may not be used in combination with any other discount and may be modified at any time.
Kristen Kosmas' newest work is a sprawling associative neo-realistic comedy of beauty involving seven submariners' wives, one counterfeit civil war ghost, one lusty renegade hairdresser and a poignant potted plant all making it through the day...barely. In Hello Failure, Kosmas' singular voice and distinctive theatrical sensibility create an oddly affecting and delightfully disorienting world, where bridges and communication collapse, and little attempts at kindness are botched or lost in the mail.

Gangsters are not nice people but when portrayed by James Cagney, Chow Yun-Fat, Tsuruta Koji, or Takakura Ken - we flock to see them. In 1960s Japan, millions of fans made yakuza movies some of the biggest box office hits of the period. Gangsters, gamblers, hookers, and cops lit up the screen to create the Golden Age of Japanese yakuza films. Their tales of chivalry, revenge, betrayal, and the thrill of violence captured the spirit of the post-war generation. Join us for a look into the flowering of the Japanese yakuza movie.

One of the most admired and beloved figures in chamber music, Menahem Pressler is best known as the pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, which he co-founded in 1955 and has anchored ever since. Such longevity is remarkable in itself, but just as significant is the way he has sought constant musical renewal through his collaborations with younger artists who bring the perspectives of their own generation to bear on his music-making. CMS has assembled a multi-generational roster to join Pressler for a program of much-loved classics, including Mozart's transcendent Piano Quartet in E-flat major (which, in a spectacular lapse of judgment, was rejected by the publisher who commissioned it) and Schubert's Trout Quintet, a work of surpassing congeniality written for a group of music aficionados the composer encountered while on vacation at a bucolic spot in Upper Austria.

In its tenth annual exhibition, The Armory Show will celebrate the spirit of contemporary art from March 27th – 30th. The exhibition includes many of the most important contemporary dealers showcasing new art from around the world. Exclusively for CAAL members, Boyd Level will not only offer an introduction to the Show and to the numerous events and satellite fairs taking place at the same time but will also provide guidance on how to go about collecting at the fairs—e.g. what to expect when negotiating with dealers and why it's never the case that all of the “best” art is sold in the first fifteen minutes.

Jody Oberfelder Dance Projects, in collaboration with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, presents Dido & Aeneas, a new spin on the 1689 opera composed by Henry Purcell with libretto by Nahum Tate. Featuring eight dancers, chamber orchestra, and six vocal soloists, Oberfelder's contemporary piece examines, through the prism of fame, universal themes of love and fate. In this updated interpretation, Dido and Aeneas, a celebrity couple, are torn apart by the media machine. With a modern plot twist, Dido questions her circumstances and reveals true heroism. Recognized as "one of the funniest modern-dance choreographers in New York" (The New York Times), Jody Oberfelder combines strength and virtuosic movement with levity and whimsical physical imagination.

Dance Theater Workshop presents dance artists Walter Dundervill and Heather Olson in a shared program of world premieres. While both are known for their virtuosic performances in the works some of New York’s most acclaimed choreographers, Dundervill and Olson also continue to forge their own paths as dance makers. Walter Dundervill’s You Wrote the Book is a diptych of discrete narratives performed simultaneously - a travelogue set in the recent past and a dream-like fiction set in the 18th century. Creating both the visual and performative elements of this work, Dundervill binds decorative design and awkwardly stylized movement into his process for making You Wrote the Book. In Curious awake not possible Heather Olson uses virtuosic dancing as a tool to excavate personal emotional landscapes. As performers Olson and Emily Tschiffely move through a highly organized stream of consciousness, they address issues of trust, change, and occasional sleeplessness.

The great Alexander Sokurov (RUSSIAN ARK, MOTHER AND SON) has made a powerful anti-war film in which not a shot is fired. Russian opera legend Galina Vishnevskaya stars as an elderly woman visiting her grandson, an officer stationed among the bored, weary troops at a desolate military outpost. More myth than contemporary politics -- the movie juxtaposes her womanly warmth with the hard steel of their weaponry; the value she places on their lives, with the pessimism of their mind set; her memories of family life and hopes for their future with the cynicism inherent in their mission.
