Maya Barkai in "Playwood, Concrete, Paint" In the last two years, sidewalk sheds, of which there are more linear feet hanging above our heads than there are yellow cabs in New York City, have been getting a lot of attention. There's an entire section on the real estate website Curbed NY, devoted to exposing "Scaffolding Nightmares" around town but people are doing a lot more than just sitting around complaining. The Downtown Alliance for New York, ArtBridge, the Center for Architecture and most recently, the Department of Buildings (with support from the Rockefeller Foundation), are just a handful of the many organizations that are using construction sites and materials as platforms for Public-Art making. Art is playing an integral role in connecting the public to the space around them, even as it is in development and not yet complete. Tickets: $25. for more information: |

A Conversation with Boaz Vaadia Boaz Vaadia is the internationally known sculptor whose timeless, evocative stone figures now inhabit museums, cultural sites, art galleries, and private collections.

Dolly City by Orly Castel Bloom As part of Hebrew Literature Series Now in bookstores By Dalkey Archive Press. Translated by Dalya Bilu. Gruesome, unhinged, and hilarious, Dolly City is widely recognized as one of the most disconcerting-and brilliant-literary works ever to come out of Israel. "Dolly City-a city without a base, without a past, without an infrastructure. The most demented city in the world." In the midst of a futuristic-primitive metropolis, the accumulation of all our urban nightmares, Doctor Dolly (certified by the University of Katmandu) finds a newborn baby in a black plastic bag, and decides to become a mother. Overcome by unfamiliar maternal urges, Dolly dispenses with her private lab of rare diseases and turns all her surgical passion onto her son. Ceaselessly cutting and sewing, Dolly is the scalpel-wielding version of the all-too-familiar Jewish Mother archetype, forever operating upon her son with destructive, invasive love. In this grotesque satire of war and the defensive measures taken to survive it, Orly Castel-Bloom, one of Israel's most provocative and original writers, turns her own scalpel upon that most holy of institutions, the myth of motherhood-and its implications in the life of a nation.
