Phony Ppl
Saturday, May 27, 8pm

The Preview party continues with Brooklyn-based 5-piece Phony Ppl, who usher in our summer season with a free-flowing, genre-bending party of sound that will keep you on the dance floor all night. Classically trained but steeped in funk energy, the band has performed with the likes of Erykah Badu, The Roots, and Jill Scott, blowing minds and spreading joy wherever they play with their infectious mix of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, reggae, soul, and rock.

Joseph Grigely: In What Way Wham?

(White Noise and Other Works, 1996-2023)
On view beginning May 28

In the mid-1990s, Joseph Grigely, who has been deaf since the age of 10, began amassing handwritten notes passed to him by people who do not know sign language. This exhibition will feature a monumental installation of these notepapers, among other works investigating language and the missteps of communication.

Anne Samat: Love
On view June 24

In her solo Kidspace exhibition, Anne Samat adorns traditional Southeast Asian Pua Kumbu weavings with humble household goods from 99-cent stores and thrift shops to construct totemic figurative sculptures. Samat’s work is dedicated to the feeling of love – found in personal relationships, in past generations that paved the way for her, and in potential feelings that could exist among strangers.

The Celestials
