DESCRIPTION:Westbeth with scaffolding and netting at West st and Bethune St. Click to enlarge photo: CMaile The renovation Westbeth is undertaking is the most comprehensive since the 1970 conversion from industrial space to apartments. The goal of the project is to ensure the long-term stability of Westbeth as affordable housing for artists and as a complex that supports the development and presentation of art. To that end\, Westbeth is investing in new roofs\, elevators\, energy efficiency infrastructure\, beautification of its historic façade\, and replacing nearly 700 windows. Within two years\, Westbeth will renovate 32 vacant apartments – this will off the opportunity for 32 new artists and families to move here and add to Wesbeth’s vibrant community.”\n— Peter Madden\, Westbeth Executive Director \nDownload Westbeth Feb 2025 Construction Update \nNY Times Article: Westbeth Gets a Pricy Overhaul \n\n\n Project Goals \n• Repair historic façade – NYC Local Law 11\n• Replace roofs on south side of campus – the G roof is 100 years old\n• Replace every single wood window at Westbeth\n• Modernize the 55 Bethune Street lobby with new mailboxes\, package\nstorage\, improved front desk; A building lobby upgrades\n• Renovate 32 vacant apartments\n• Energy efficiency; quality of life improvements; safety\n• Improved facilities for staff \nNew Windows\nNew Windows installed in Westbeth apartment. Photo: David Plakke \n“Diana Jensen’s apartment was the second to have installed the new wood windows which are key component of Westbeth’s renovation. The custom-fabricated windows are triple-paned for energy and sound insulation. The weight-and-chain design means that the windows open easily and smoothly. Like the windows they are replacing\, these new mahogany windows will last for many decades. Diana told us she loves her new windows and allowed us to take her portrait in front of them.” \nVacant Apartment Undergoing Gut Reno\nClick image to start the  slide show\, and for more information.

This notion does not quite land here. It is too neat\, too resolved. Spin-out is a group exhibition that comes after it\, serving as a threshold that opens onto something that keeps spinning as we try to step into it. This show feels like a handoff many of us know\, into conditions that are turbulent and shaking\, quite violently\, beneath our feet. \nSo\, the works appear in dispersals and slight disjunctions. No unified statement or theme\, just a show of relations that should not fully cohere. Spin-out exhibits a set of recurring relations: tension\, nerve\, occasional alignment on the fantasy of an optimized self. A self that is constructed again and again\, deliberated upon\, and sometimes consumed. \nRepeated image-making\, printing\, painting\, and twisting of clay demonstrate a sustained inquiry that transfigures infrastructure into ornament and body\, hair\, and text into social registers. The exhibition places a found children’s toy on a journey with an insatiable coyote who points to a burial ground. Here and onward\, the artist-sitter and critter relationship is unsettled while collectivity and action flicker across a bent but continuous wall. \nSpin-out gathers a collection of works with no singular trajectory. Instead\, the exhibition circles a kind of convivial core catalyzed by ten artists. \nInquiries: Rich Siggillino\, Gallery Coordinator\, at res24@mgsa\,rutgers.edu> \nAbout the Department: The Department of Art & Design at Rutgers University’s MasonGross School of the Arts seeks to cultivate a diverse community that values visual literacy\, critical dialogue\, experimentation\, and the skills necessary for sustaining a creative life as artists and designers. Central to its vision is engaging in interdisciplinary research and embarking on collaborations within Rutgers and beyond\, leaving an imprint on the global arenas of contemporary art and design. Studio arts training is offered in design\, drawing\, media\, painting\, photography\, print\, and sculpture. The department offers five degree programs: a bachelor of arts\, a bachelor of fine arts in both visual arts and design\, and a master of fine arts in both visual arts and design\, as well as a minor in art. \nMason Gross Galleries\, a 4\,200-square-foot space in downtown New Brunswick\, NJ\, showcases up to 10 student exhibitions per year—all free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Experience a Workshop of You're Never Too Old to Play
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 18\, 2026 at 7pm – 9pm \nAfter the success of ABOVE GROUND – NOT EXACTLY A COMEDY on the theme of AGING\, at La Mama Experimental Theatre Club in 2025\,You’re Never Too Old to Play – An Acting workshop for Seniors\, is working on a new piece \nWe invite you to join us to observe an OPEN WORKSHOP featuring improvisation\, and work-in-progress stories. \nReview of Aging at La Mama by Edward Kliszus\n“…actors do not pretend; they are. They acknowledge the audience\, inviting them into their world rather than asking them to suspend disbelief. The stage is not a place of illusion but a living space where truth materializes without pretense. In this environment\, every movement\, every breath\, every interaction becomes significant—an authentic exchange between performer and observer.”\n“The Artists Behind the Experience \nNancy Gabor\, a distinguished director and theater educator\, brings decades of experience to the project. A former member of Joseph Chaikin’s Open Theater\, she was pivotal in developing experimental works like The Serpent. Her collaborations with luminaries such as Andrei Serban and Sam Shepard have cemented her legacy in avant-garde theater.\n‘Paul Binnerts\, co-director\, and Real-Time Acting theorist\, has spent his career exploring performance’s intersection with reality. His European award-winning productions\, including Black Box and The Same Sea\, reflect his commitment to theater that challenges and engages. His seminal work\, Acting in Real Time\, is a foundational text for this performance genre. \nVideo by Mourrice Papi of Performance at Westbeth Community Room in 2024

Refreshments will be served.\nInfo: Phone/text 347 979-4009 / rbunkin@mail.com \n \nImages: left\, Sacrificial Lambs and Rabbits\, c. 1948; Center\, Smile #2\, 1964; right\, Four Moods\, 2023 \nThis retrospective offers an overview of Jenny Tango’s 80+-year career as an artist.  \nTango (neé Florence Schoenbaum)\, born in Brooklyn\, was raised in Washington Heights to Eastern European Jewish immigrants. She attended Music and Art High School and was accepted into the Cooper Union at age 16\, completing her BA at Brooklyn College. She married GI poet/novelist Samuel Exler in 1948.\nThe young couple lived in the East Village; later\, moving to a NYC Housing Project in the Lower East Side\, and had their first daughter. They collaborated on a popular children’s book\, “Growing and Changing”\, published in 1957\, had a second daughter in 1956\, and moved to Flushing\, Queens. \nIn the early 1960s\, Tango returned to Brooklyn College\, earning her Master’s degree in painting; offered the choice of a clerical or teaching fellowship\, she chose the teaching fellowship\, the first female student to do so. Despite her artistic and intellectual abilities\, the faculty didn’t accept women\nas colleagues. As a result\, she penned a Fuck You thesis and gained notoriety with a series of proto- feminist paintings\, the Smile Series\, distorted self-portraits painted from a cracked mirror\, exhibited at Brooklyn College and later shown at the Aegis Gallery on 10 th Street. Exler taught art at the newly built public Springfield Gardens High School\, which served students from that community: Rosedale\, Rochdale Village\, Laurelton\, and Jamaica. The family moved to Laurelton\, and she became a popular teacher\, particularly beloved for her experimental spirit. She began to take a strong interest in avant-garde filmmaking\, particularly animation\, and bought a Bolex Super-8 movie camera with a tripod that allowed one to make single-frame animations\, which she encouraged her students to use. Exler taught painting\, art appreciation\, and filmmaking\, and introduced video. She was also an adjunct professor of drawing and art history at Queensboro Community College and wrote interviews of renowned film directors\, such as Sidney Lumet and William Friedkin\, for the Metropolitan Area Film Instructors Association (MAFIA) newsletter. \nHer restless creative spirit led her to experiment with a variety of media\, but she always returned to painting and drawing\, particularly self-portraiture. She was a remarkably skillful figurative painter and draftswoman. In the 1970’s\, she became active in the Women’s Movement\, wrote for and edited Women In The Arts Newsletter and the Women’s Caucus of the College Art Association newsletter. \nIn 1970\, she began to mentor Robert Bunkin\, an aspiring art student from Rochdale Village\, who took her filmmaking class; like her\, he was in love with art and film (animation in particular). They had a strong emotional and artistic bond\, and eventually became romantically attached. She left her husband in 1973\, and they have remained together since\, marrying in 1984\, after obtaining a divorce. \nIn 1976\, Florence Exler was reborn as Jenny Tango\, a name derived from a character in Brecht/Weill‘s Three Penny Opera\, a work that both Tango and Bunkin adored. The character of Jenny Diver was the source of her first name\, and the Tango Ballad\, sung by Jenny and Mack the Knife was the sourceof her surname. \nFrom 1986 to 1988\, the couple had an inspiring and productive sojourn in Florence\, Italy\, where Bunkin completed his undergraduate degree. They shared a studio in the complex of San Lorenzo\, a church designed by Brunelleschi\, and lived alongside the Michelangelo’s Medici Chapel and Laurentian Library\, among other Renaissance treasures. \nTango explored many visual media: animation\, artist’s books\, printmaking\, sculpture\, and comics. She created Cannibal Cut-Ups\, a comic strip that was included in a feminist collective of artist-commix creators (Bloody Wymmin) that she founded\, and Women of Chelm\, original stories based on mythical shtetl inhabitants\, The Wise Men of Chelm. She visited Chelm in Poland\, as part of her research for this book\, and used text based on interviews with friends who assumed characters she invented. Handwritten with border imagery and hand-crafted illustrations\, this project also inspired a picture history book\, The Jewish Community of Staten Island\, part of Images of America (Arcadia Publishing). \nIn the early 2000’s\, Tango embarked on a collaboration with Staten Island-based sculptor Susan Grabel: Project Venus\, a feminist investigation of aging female bodies. \nIn 2014\, at 88\, Tango (and Bunkin) joined the Westbeth Community. She continued to paint and draw long after retirement from teaching and political activism. Despite declining eyesight\, she still attends Westbeth’s Figure Drawing Group. \nTango never pursued commercial fame or notoriety\, but her independence\, skill\, and inventiveness resulted in a remarkably fresh\, original\, and relevant body of work. She maintained a commitment to representation and figuration despite the lack of artistic validation for that genre during much of her\nlifetime. \nThe exhibition will include a selection of portraits of Jenny Tango painted by Robert Bunkin\, and collaborative works with Susan Grabel.
