Jack Reynolds: language like lava

@ SPRING/BREAK Art Show NYC 


Exploring ideas of representation and information, while playing with expectations based on historical formatting, Jack Reynolds situates imagery within a complicated space of language, form, and mark-making.

SPRING/BREAK Art Show is an internationally recognized exhibition platform using underused, atypical and historic New York City exhibition spaces to activate and challenge the traditional cultural landscape of the art market, typically but not exclusively during Armory Arts Week. The eighth annual exhibition will be held from March 5th  – March 11th, 2019.

Progress Report: 74 East 4th Street Capital Project


If you've walked by 74 East 4th Street lately, you've seen La MaMa's beloved building and first permanent home is being renovated as part of a multi-phase capital project.





To everyone's surprise, windows that no one knew were there were revealed on the west wall of The Club.  If these walls could talk...



When the project is finished, 74 East 4th Street will be handicapped accessible with the installation of an elevator and the lowering of the street entrance so there is no longer a step.   This renovation was long over-due to insure that the building will be available to everyone for years to come.

Gabe Herman looks at CITY OF NO ILLUSIONS for The Villager



Immigrants, refugees and life-and-death issues 


Gabe Herman looks at Talking Band's newest work, City of No Illusions, premiering at The Downstairs at La MaMa on February 8, 2019.  Gabe spoke to Talking Band's Paul Zimet about the piece:


“I became very interested in this idea of borders, between countries and also between the living and the dead,” he said. “The piece became not only about borders but the passageway through those borders.”
