EVENT: Inside-Out: Standing in a Threshold by Tamar Halpern
Conversation and release event
September 15, 2026
6-8pm

Join us for a conversation and release event for Inside-Out: Standing in a Threshold edited by Tamar Halpern. Halpern will be joined by project contributors Frédéric Tcheng, Michael Joo, and Kathryn Andrews.

Inside-Out: Standing in a Threshold is an artwork unfolding in publication form. It begins with a persistent question: How do we remain connected across distance, time, absence, and difference? Rather than treating connection as metaphor, the work approaches it as something lived, material, and sustained through attention, exchange, and care.

Developed between 2024 and 2026, the work consists of twelve individually authored risograph-printed booklets, each emerging through an extended conversation between Tamar Halpern and a participating artist, filmmaker, writer, or cultural practitioner: Dana Hoey, Frédéric Tcheng, Michael Joo, Keltie Ferris, Sara VanDerBeek, Craig Kalpakjian, Robert Janitz, Anna Ostoya, Prem Krishnamurthy, Liz Magic Laser (in collaboration with Cori Kresge), and Kathryn Andrews/The Judith Center (with contributions by Warren Neidich and Linda Vallejo).
While each booklet maintains its own voice and structure, together they form a nonlinear artwork in which publication becomes both container and site. The artists gathered in Inside-Out were invited because, in different ways, their practices make connection visible, felt, or operative.

EVENT: Nicole L. Woods, Performing Chance: The Art of Alison Knowles In/Out of Fluxus — In conversation with Saisha Grayson
Launch + conversation
September 16, 2026
6–8PM

Join us for the launch of Performing Chance: The Art of Alison Knowles In/Out of Fluxus, the first monographic study of American artist Alison Knowles (1933-2025). Knowles was the sole female artist among the founders of Fluxus and an enigmatic, underrecognized figure in the history of Sixties art. Woods will be joined in conversation by Saisha Grayson.

The book fills a gap in the record, bringing to light Knowles’s transformative body of work as it evolved from abstract painting in the late 1950s, to silkscreens, print media, and performance in the early 1960s, to groundbreaking works in digital poetry, acoustical art, and large-scale installations in the late 1960s-70s. Through her access to previously unpublished archival materials and direct interviews with the artist, Woods provides close readings of pivotal works, disclosing the ways Knowles instituted formal tactics that moved beyond modernist painting, championed principles of indeterminacy and chance, and fostered sociopolitical consciousness. Situating Knowles’s innovations in various media within the distinct cultural contexts of Wiesbaden, London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles, Performing Chance brings this key artist back to her rightful place as a leader of the postwar avant-garde and provides a nuanced history of the role of women artists in Fluxus and beyond.

In this talk, Woods will read an excerpt from one of its chapters, leaving ample time for questions. She is particularly interested in discussing the tricky nature of the monograph within art historical discourse, including how it is framed (and possibly misunderstood) within contemporary art criticism.

Opening Reception Tonight—
New Openings Against Old Surfaces
On Gordon Matta-Clark’s Walls Paper
September 10, 2026
6-8PM

Join us for an opening reception to celebrate New Openings Against Old Surfaces, the first exhibition focused specifically on the publishing output of pioneering artist Gordon Matta-Clark, with a particular focus on his 1973 project Walls Paper.

The show situates the publication as a key experiment within the artist’s diverse and ambitious practice, bringing together documentary photographs, test prints, uncut printer sheets, original prints, and additional publications.

Presented as part of Printed Matter’s 50th Anniversary programming, the exhibition connects Matta-Clark’s experimentation in book form to both the radical milieu that characterized the time of Printed Matter’s founding and contemporary artists’ practice today.
