SUMMARY:Exhibition - LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art
DESCRIPTION:LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art explores the intersection of art and sports through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields\, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Featuring artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media\, LEGENDS examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity\, nationalism\, the body\, and performance.  \nThe first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and sports within contemporary Asian and Asian American art\, LEGENDS will debut works by The Chinatown Basketball Club\, Kaarina Chu Mackenzie\, and Astria Suparak.

SUMMARY:Harnessing NYC's Natural Areas: Boosting Health and Well-Being by Connecting More New Yorkers to the City's Trails\, Forests\, and Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:New York City boasts more than 10\,000 acres of forests\, wetlands\, streams\, and other wild landscapes—providing access to nature for the millions of New Yorkers without the means to visit hiking trails or waterfronts in the Hudson Valley\, Long Island\, and beyond. These wild places are hugely important for the well-being of New Yorkers and their communities\, especially at a time when New Yorkers are more stressed\, more screen-bound\, and more disconnected than ever. But despite their enormous potential\, relatively few New Yorkers are even aware of the city’s natural areas and access to them is highly uneven. At the same time\, New York City’s natural areas are under growing strain\, compounded by inadequate resources and the impact of climate change. \nThis in-person policy forum will explore the vital role of natural areas in New York City\, and what’s needed to more fully harness these critical resources for New Yorkers. Panelists will discuss how to ensure far more New Yorkers know about\, have access to\, and feel comfortable exploring the city’s natural areas. The discussion will also delve into where investment is most needed to shore up maintenance and infrastructure needs across the city’s natural areas and advance creative ideas for unlocking more of their potential.

SUMMARY:Lee Kang So: A Field of Becoming
DESCRIPTION:Lee Kang So (b. 1943) has\, over the past five decades\, established a distinctive practice within Korean contemporary art. Working across a wide range of media since the 1970s\, he has consistently resisted fixed forms in order to examine how art comes into being. \nRather than presenting the artwork as a finished result\, Lee foregrounds the moment of its emergence and the conditions in which meaning is formed—reflecting a view of the world as something continuously shaped through change and relation. \nThis exhibition brings together works from the 1970s to the present\, tracing the continuity and transformation of his practice.
