Kenneth Tam is a Brooklyn-based artist born in Queens, NY. His work often takes the form of video and sculpture and it's interested in reimagining the spaces and rituals that inform ideas about the male body and its performance. The work looks at ways in which hegemonic and normative forms of male subjectivity can be rearticulated to reveal spaces of intimacy vulnerability and even loss.

Join us for the open reception of Kenneth Tam's exhibit, "The Glass Ceiling."

J.L. Abraham works by hand (printing and painting), works on paper (French sheets, Japanese rolls, machine made in America), and works through aggregation (of blocks, colors, methods, sheets). Though she often multiplies, she rarely duplicates.

The British novelist Henry Green once said narrative prose should be "a gathering web of insinuations". I'd like to talk about ways of writing that navigate the margin of an idea rather than anything resembling its center—how the fluid, circuitous, evasive, and unstable route can produce viscerally charged work.

Join us for the open reception of Julie Abraham's exhibit, "Working Paper."

Led by writing faculty member Suzanne Gardinier, this talk will focus on Gardinier's friendship with Regina Arnold (1948-2006), the first tenured African-American faculty member at Sarah Lawrence and founder 25 years ago of the Right to Write program, which links the College to the teaching of writing in Westchester County jails.
