German Movie Night: Krabat

A voice in a dream lures the 14-year-old orphan Krabat to a mill shrouded in mystery, where he is taken on as an apprentice by a sinister master. Alongside eleven other boys, he finds himself learning not just the miller’s craft, but eventually also the arts of black magic.

That You Can't Fight City Hall is a Rumor being Spread by City Hall

This exhibition at Ludlow 38 reconstructs the public art space as a space of dissident voices. By quoting, borrowing, and reworking the practices of other artists, Tegegne’s works confront the unseen power relations that constitute the structural field of art and established narratives of art history, reflecting on the various social, historical, and economic contexts that make and unmake art and testing out new ways of collectively thinking through the dynamics of trust, intimacy, and sharing as resistance.
