SUMMARY:New York\, NY | ArtTable Circle - Collection Visit with Alice Sachs Zimet
DESCRIPTION:ArtTable Circle members are invited to join us for a very special collection visit at the home of Alice Sachs Zimet. \n\n\n\nAlice Sachs Zimet began to collect photography in early 1985 at a time when the medium was not recognized as a serious art form. The marketplace was nascent. There were few to no photo-only galleries\, photo-only art fairs\, photo-only auctions\, and it was rare to find a photography exhibition in a museum. While there was little acknowledgement\, Alice consistently defended her love of the medium even when most challenged her by saying ‘it’s not art’. \n\n\n\nToday\, fine art photography is a major global player with increased attention\, respect\, and market share. There are blockbuster museum shows\, photo-only auctions\, photo-only art fairs and photo-only galleries. And of course\, the number of photo collectors and prices have increased significantly. \n\n\n\nZimet’s lifelong passion for the arts began with her parents who were print collectors\, collecting images by Vuillard\, Bonnard\, Vlaminck\, Rouault\, and Lautrec\, among others. Her world was always steeped in the arts – professionally and academically. She holds two degrees in art history and her early professional career began at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. \n\n\n\nHowever\, her life changed when\, for the next 20 years\, Zimet worked at The Chase Manhattan Bank where she created a new sponsorship marketing department and became Director\, Worldwide Cultural Affairs. She was given a small year-end bonus\, which soon became her collecting budget — whether for one photograph or the purchase of several. But that was her acquisition budget for the year. \n\n\n\nZimet has made a conscious effort to buy from all sources — galleries\, auctions\, benefit auctions\, art fairs and even trades. With a collecting career spanning nearly 40 years\, she has developed deep personal relationships with professionals across every aspect of the field. Her collection has grown to roughly 350 museum-quality images\, where she lives surrounded by the vast majority. “I consciously do not have storage. I live with most of my images surrounding me. With storage\, I would not be able to control my collecting impulse. So\, my walls provide that boundary.” \n\n\n\nThis program is open to ArtTable Circle members for $45 each.Members may bring a guest for $55. Registration is required below. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to join this special event and are not yet an ArtTable Circle member\, you can apply for membership here or log into your Member portal to upgrade your current membership. \n\n\n\nPlease review the below before registering:\n\n\n\n Health & Safety All attendees must be fully vaccinated as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: You are considered fully vaccinated: 2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose vaccine.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn\, NY | Curator's Tour of "1-800 Happy Birthday" with Klaudia Ofwona Draber
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a tour of 1-800 Happy Birthday with ArtTable members Klaudia Ofwona Draber\, the exhibition’s curator\, and Marcia Santoni\, executive director of WORTHLESSSTUDIOS. \n\n\n\n1-800 Happy Birthday is an exhibition honoring Black and Brown lives killed by police. Originally a voicemail project\, now transformed into a large-scale exhibition in a 10\,000 square-foot warehouse\, 1-800 Happy Birthday is created by artist Mohammad Gorjestani and Even/Odd\, curated by Klaudia Ofwona Draber\, with artistic direction by Neil Hamamoto\, and presented by arts nonprofit WORTHLESSSTUDIOS with the aim of honoring the lives of those lost too soon. The families of Dujuan Armstrong\, Sandra Bland\, Philando Castile\, Stephon Clark\, Fred Cox\, Eric Garner\, Oscar Grant\, Xzavier Hill\, Donovon Lynch\, Sean Monterrosa\, Tony Robinson\, and Mario Woods are participating in the exhibition. \n\n\n\n1-800 Happy Birthday was originally created in 2020 by Even/Odd founder\, filmmaker\, and artist Mohammad Gorjestani as an ongoing voicemail project to honor Black and Brown victims of police killings and systemic racism. The project exists online at 1800HappyBirthday.com and allows loved ones and the public to leave and listen to voicemails left on the birthdays of ‘celebrants’ – those unjustly killed. Gorjestani teamed up with WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ Founder and Artistic Director Neil Hamamoto and Curator Klaudia Ofwona Draber\, along with family members of the twelve celebrants\, to bring the digital project into the physical realm in a community-accessible\, large-scale exhibition. The show utilizes audio and video components\, a large mural created by Art1\, and personal ephemera to tell their stories. \n\n\n\nTwelve upcycled NYC pay phones are arranged on a few patches of lawn\, a concrete wall with a dedicated area for flowers hosts a large mural and balloons\, and birthday cards are available for purchase at a newsstand. Towards the back of this city landscape is a translucent building facade with an opening that leads to an interior setting – a family living room. This room acts as a resource center: filled with photos\, ephemera from the celebrants\, and educational resources. It is also meant as a space of refuge\, to rest and recharge. The exhibition design imagines a world that is just\, where streets are safe for Black and Brown people to just be. \n\n\n\nEach repurposed phone booth\, designed in collaboration with the families of the celebrants\, is dedicated to one person and features portraits of the celebrant and their family and friends. The visuals and ephemera included in the exhibition – such as Philando Castile’s favorite book and Xzavier Hill’s graduation cap – allow visitors a glimpse into the personal milestones\, interests and personalities of those being honored. These objects\, chosen by celebrant family members\, illustrate the divide between private conversation and public space. In a large-scale mural\, each celebrant is represented by their likeness. The tableau serves as a collective memory for the many individuals killed by the police\, and is designed to receive flowers\, birthday cards\, balloons\, and any other memorial offerings. The interactive and educational nature of the exhibition seeks to connect participants to each celebrant and to expand on the pervasive impact of policing and systemic racism in America. \n\n\n\nThis program is free to attend and open to ArtTable members and guests only. Registration is required below. \n\n\n\nNot a member? Join today! \n\n\n\nPlease review the below before registering:\n\n\n\n Health & Safety Face masks are optional at this location.
