Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One

In his one-of-a-kind fiction/documentary hybrid Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, director William Greaves presides over a beleaguered film crew in New York's Central Park, leaving them to try to figure out what kind of movie they are making. This wildly innovative 1960s counterculture landmark is set in close proximity to Uwe Johnson's Upper West Side turf.

Jonas Staal/Yazan Khalili: State Traps

Positioning censorship as intrinsic to the freedom of speech, in this exhibition at Ludlow 38, Staal and Khalili expose in their work the limits and falsity of a human right often perceived as the pillar of democracy.
