MoMA | Andy Warhol: Campbell's Soup Cans and Other Works, 1953–1967:
"Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Cans and Other Works, 1953–1967"
Until Monday October 12 2015
On July 9, 1962, Andy Warhol made his one-person debut at a Los Angles gallery called Ferus, founded five years earlier by curator Walter Hopps and artist Edward Keinholz. It represented the first showing of Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can paintings, an image he became indelibly linked with. Often installed in a grid, they were originally hung in a single line at Ferus, an installation MoMA revives here in its look at Warhol's early years, when he turned the art world upside down.

Cubism:The Leonard A. Lauder Collection | The Metropolitan Museum of Art: "Cubism, the most influential art movement of the early twentieth century, still resonates today. It destroyed traditional illusionism in painting and radically changed the way we see the world. The Leonard A. Lauder Collection, unsurpassed in its holdings of Cubist art, is now a promised gift to the Museum. On the occasion of this exhibition, the Collection is being shown in public for the first time—eighty-one paintings, collages, drawings, and sculpture by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, 1881–1955), and Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)."

"Film | Lower East Side Film Festival
12 – 22 June
Now in its fourth year, the Lower East Side Film Festival has grown from humble beginnings in a pop-up theatre to being featured in publications like New York Magazine and Indiewire, attracting landmark venues and securing distribution for its filmmakers. Established in 2011, the festival seeks out what it calls ‘visionary low-budget films’ made by up-and-coming filmmakers with the purpose of giving the unsung trailblazers of independent film a platform while engaging with the Lower East Side community. Each year the festival recognises the best films screened with awards judged by the audience and industry professionals, which in the past has included actors Susan Sarandon and Willem Dafoe. Last year Chioke Nassor’s first feature film How to Follow Strangers – a tale of urban alienation in which a young man plots his own disappearance to see if anyone notices – scooped the Best of Fest Prix D’or award.

"Culture | Celebrate Brooklyn!
June - August
Founded in 1979, Celebrate Brooklyn! is one of New York City’s longest-running, free outdoor festivals and in its 35-year history the event has hosted performances – ranging from music and dance to theatre and spoken word – by over 2,000 artists reflective of Brooklyn’s cultural diversity. Celebrate Brooklyn! was launched with the dual purpose of establishing a performing arts scene in Brooklyn while helping to regenerate the neglected Prospect Park, where much of the festival takes place, and has become one of the city’s most popular cultural attractions drawing in around 250,000 visitors each year. Music performances this year come from R&B sensation Janelle Monae and recently reformed bluegrass band Nickel Creek, while the festival’s dance parties, held at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, will include sets from Israeli electronic outfit Balkan Beat Box and DJ JD Samson.

Theatre | The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park
3 June – 17 August
A long-standing tradition in New York City, Free Shakespeare in the Park is brought to you by the Public Theater and was established in 1962 by the theater founder, the late producer and director Joseph Papp, who wanted to create an event that would make excellent theater accessible to everyone. Over the past 52 years, Free Shakespeare in the Park, which is held at Central Park’s Delacorte Theater, has produced over 150 plays and attracted more than 5 million attendees, with past productions featuring actors such as Patrick Stewart and James Earl Jones. This year lovers of Shakespeare can see three-time Tony award winner Jack O’Brien’s production of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing, starring Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater as Beatrice and Benedick, and his tragic tale of revenge King Lear, starring award-winning actor John Lithgow in the titular role.

American Stories: Rivka Galchen and Karen Russell | The New York Public Library

| Rivka Galchen, "20 Under 40" at 92YTribeca (Photo credit: 92YTribeca) |
"The fiction writers Rivka Galchen and Karen Russell, whose most recent book is Vampires in the Lemon Grove, talk about Galchen’s new collection of stories, American Innovations."
"I've always simply loved the New York Public Library, so arguably my motivation for going there that day was not just to find more information but also to be comforted, to see the light pouring in through the enormous windows in broad cones as if from giant parallel movie projectors. Maybe-- but really the meekest of maybes-- I was pursuing the sense I used to have as a child, when I'd see the illuminated dust shimmering and winking and-- this was back when the library was always warm-- I'd feel myself safe in the bellly of an enormous and unknowable beast." - from Rivka Galchen's Atmospheric Disturbances
Join NYPL in welcoming Rivka Galchen on June 3. The author will discuss her newest book American Innovations with Karen Russell.http://on.nypl.org/1ki6jtu
