The students—sophomores\, juniors\, and seniors—are from the Fine Arts\, Illustration\, Packaging Design\, and Graphic Design departments within the School of Art and Design at FIT. The goal of the study abroad program is to build a bridge between the art of the Italian Renaissance and these young\, contemporary artists. \nStudents were taught to paint with egg tempera\, the medium of choice for many Renaissance artists. Egg tempera was then used to create all of the paintings in this exhibition\, though students were not required to produce a finished painting. Instead\, it was important that they experience firsthand what the artists of the Renaissance did to create their masterpieces. Through the process\, students gained a better understanding and enhanced appreciation of the work and the craftsmanship of artists during 15th-century Italy. \n  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-the-italian-way-lessons-from-the-masters-for-our-time-closes/ LOCATION:Gallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ORGANIZER;CN="The Museum at FIT":MAILTO:museuminfo@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gallery FIT The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181112T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181112T140000 DTSTAMP:20260404T034139 CREATED:20181102T152022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191015T182021Z UID:10006635-1542027600-1542031200@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:FIT Honors Veterans Day: The Ninth Annual March of Colors DESCRIPTION:Calling all students\, faculty\, staff\, administrators\, veterans\, and citizens to an FIT Veteran’s Day March of Colors.

While Manny and Joel grow into versions of their loving and unpredictable father\, Ma seeks to shelter her youngest\, Jonah\, in the cocoon of home. More sensitive and conscious than his older siblings\, Jonah increasingly embraces an imagined world all his own. \nWith a screenplay by Dan Kitrosser and Jeremiah Zagar based on the celebrated Justin Torres novel\, We the Animals is a visceral coming-of-age story propelled by layered performances from its astounding cast—including three talented\, young\, first-time actors—and stunning animated sequences that bring Jonah’s torn inner world to life. Drawing from his documentary background\, director Jeremiah Zagar creates an immersive portrait of working-class family life and brotherhood. \nJeremiah Zagar\nZagar grew up in South Philly spending most afternoons in a dark movie theater or wandering the aisles of his local TLA video store. In 2008 he completed his first documentary\, In a Dream\, which screened theatrically across the U.S. and in film festivals around the world. It was broadcast on HBO\, shortlisted for an Academy Award\, and received two Emmy nominations\, including Best Documentary. \nHis next feature-length documentary\, Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart\, premiered in competition at the Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO to much fanfare in 2014. His latest film\, the feature-length narrative We The Animals\, premiered at Sundance in 2018 and took home the NEXT Innovator Award. Other notable output includes the pilot episode for Showtime’s 7 Deadly Sins\, and commercial work for GE Capital\, Pedigree and New Balance. When he’s not working\, Zagar spends his time swimming in New York City’s finest public pools. \nThe Film and Media Screening Series is supported by the Diversity Council\, the Student-Faculty Corporation\, the School of Liberal Arts\, and the departments of Film\, Media and Performing Arts\, English and Communication Studies\, and Modern Languages and Cultures. \nAll screenings are free and open to the public. \n  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/film-and-media-screening-series-we-the-animals-with-jeremiah-zagar/ LOCATION:Film and Media Screening Room D207\, Pomerantz Center\, New York City \, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Screening,Public ORGANIZER;CN="Michelle Handelman":MAILTO:michelle_handelman@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.747025;-73.9941136 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Film and Media Screening Room D207 Pomerantz Center New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pomerantz Center:geo:-73.9941136,40.747025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181114 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181115 DTSTAMP:20260404T034139 CREATED:20181015T195042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181015T195042Z UID:10006611-1542153600-1542239999@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: Expressions of Civility — Opens DESCRIPTION:In recognition of FIT’s commitment to creating a civil\, inclusive campus for all\, the annual faculty and staff exhibition will include student work for the first time. \nThe exhibition will explore: What does it mean to be civil in a world that is increasingly not? In an era where personal attacks and inflammatory positions have superseded dialogue and debate\, how do we seek to understand that which separates us and builds connections that increase empathy\, inclusivity\, knowledge and community strength? Civility—and the ability to reconcile our differences for the greater good—is at the very root of a democratic society. It spurs forward movement\, it moves us past our points of conflict\, it is what fuels progress. Ultimately\, it’s the only thing that ever has. \nArtwork will be on view in the following locations: \nLynn and Carl Goldstein Gallery\, Feldman Center\, Ninth Floor (faculty/staff work): November 14\, 2018–October 2019 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fifth and Sixth floors (student work): November 19\, 2018–March 31\, 2019 \nGallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT (students/faculty/staff): November 19\, 2018–January 26\, 2019 URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-expressions-of-civility-opens/ LOCATION:Various locations on campus\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181114T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181114T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T034139 CREATED:20181106T182253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181106T182253Z UID:10004072-1542214800-1542218400@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:FIT Author Talks: Julia Jacquette DESCRIPTION:Julia Jacquette\, Fine Arts\, will discuss her books Unrequited and Acts of Play and Playground of My Mind at this FIT Author Talk\, part of Gladys Marcus Library’s Love Your Library series. \nUnrequited and Acts of Play is the first major monograph for Julia Jacquette\, Fine Arts.

Garments that are altered\, unfinished\, or deconstructed\, in addition to clothing that shows signs of wear\, will highlight the aberrant beauty in flawed objects. Unless such imperfections are intentional—as they are in the case of deconstructed fashion—these garments are often overlooked in museum collections. This exhibition will include a selection of objects from the museum’s permanent collection\, highlighting objects that are not only visually compelling\, but that may also tell intriguing stories about their makers and/or wearers. \nIt is only in recent years that imperfect or inauthentic objects have been given greater consideration\, as interest in their “biographies” has grown. Signs of repeated wear\, shortened hemlines\, and careful mends can be found even on haute couture garments\, and they highlight the lasting economic and emotional worth of many clothes within museum collections. These findings—which are often unseen and unknown by museum visitors—challenge the concept of fashion as a strictly ephemeral\, disposable commodity. Fashion Unraveled will also reveal how the appearance of aged clothing\, with its flaws and signs of decay\, has been embraced by many designers as an aesthetic choice\, furthering the reconstruction of notions about beauty and value in fashion.

She has produced ground­breaking publications on modernism\, fashion\, feminist theory\, race\, affect\, photography\, and magazines. \nModernism à la Mode argues that fashion describes why and how literary modernism matters in its own historical moment and ours. Bringing together texts\, textiles\, and theories of dress\, Elizabeth Sheehan shows that writers\, including Virginia Woolf\, D.H. Lawrence\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, Nella Larsen\, and F. Scott Fitzgerald\, turned to fashion to understand what their own stylized works could do in the context of global capital\, systemic violence\, and social transformation. Modernists engage with fashion as a mood\, a set of material objects\, and a target of critique\, and\, in doing so\, anticipate and address contemporary debates centered on the uses of literature and literary criticism amidst the supposed crisis in the humanities. A modernist affect with a purpose\, no less. By engaging modernism à la mode—that is\, contingently\, contextually\, and in light of contemporary concerns—this book offers an alternative to the often-untenable distinctions between strong or weak\, suspicious or reparative\, and politically activist or quietist approaches to literature\, which frame current debates about literary methodology. As fashion helps us to describe what modernist texts do\, it enables us to do more with modernism as a form of inquiry\, perception\, and critique. Fashion and modernism are interwoven forms of inquiry\, perception\, and critique\, writes Sheehan. It is fashion that puts the work of early twentieth-century writers in conversation with 21st-century theories of emotion\, materiality\, animality\, beauty\, and history. \nThis event is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/modernism-a-la-mode-a-presentation-on-fashion-and-literature/ LOCATION:Katie Murphy Amphitheatre\, Pomerantz Art and Design Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Panel Discussion,Public GEO:40.7127837;-74.0059413 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Katie Murphy Amphitheatre Pomerantz Art and Design Center Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pomerantz Art and Design Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-74.0059413,40.7127837 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181127T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181127T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T034139 CREATED:20180806T195622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180806T195622Z UID:10004318-1543341600-1543348800@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Fashion Culture: 'How to Slay' with Constance White DESCRIPTION:Cover of How to Slay\, courtesy of Rizzoli.\nAuthor Constance White will join Dr. Valerie Steele to discuss the influence of black style on today’s fashion vernacular\, drawing on striking images of trendsetters from Josephine Baker to Michelle Obama\, Rihanna\, and Pharrell Williams.

The examination of textiles is often separated from that of the fashionable silhouette\, yet historically\, textiles were as important as the cut of clothing in keeping up with current fashion. This exhibition will delve into the mechanics of textiles\, looking at how fibers and weaves build the materiality of fashion. It will also explore the cultural influence of fabric. The Western world’s demand for fashionable textiles of silk\, cotton\, wool\, and synthetics has had enormous repercussions across the globe. \nFabric In Fashion will highlight both clothing and flat textiles from the museum’s permanent collection\, examining how the physical properties of specific fabrics determine the way a piece of clothing interacts with the body\, as well as how the design and cultural associations of textiles reveal the social motivations that drive fashion forward. The exhibition is organized by Elizabeth Way\, assistant curator of costume.

As photographers\, there’s no one right way to take a photo and what to take it with; however\, the one consistency is our viewfinders. Regardless of whether it’s a full frame digital SLR\, a medium-format film camera\, or simply an iPhone\, this is how we all see our independent worlds and how we choose to capture them. \nView Finder features work by the junior class in the Photography BFA program at FIT. As part of the Photographic Concepts and Exhibition course\, this show is an opportunity to exhibit the work created this semester without boundaries on presentation. It highlights the topics the class has covered\, such as tableau\, intimate narrative\, and deadpan. In addition to this\, students have also considered different ways in which to manifest our creations for the public from large-scale printing to handheld installation. As artists\, they were challenged with producing content that not only fulfills the requirements for the curriculum\, but also articulates our each student’s style and expression. \nFor this exhibition\, two outside creators were also invited to participate: course professor Elizabeth Bick and notable photographer John Cyr. \nProfessor Bick’s work is relevant to the show because of her tableau aesthetic. Her pieces are in collaboration with an artist that makes work out of old hotel bed sheets. She’s capturing the movement of the sheets and artist in a stop motion format. \nCyr’s Developer Trays catalog famous photographer’s trays using pristine deadpan technique to properly showcase the one consistency among darkroom creators: their developer trays. Both artists demonstrate the range of genres we’ve applied this semester and complement the work of ours we’ve chosen to present to you. We welcome you to look through our viewfinder and experience our interpretation of these concepts. \n  \nSTUDENT WORK BY: \nSARAH ABOUELKER | BRIANA BATTAGLIA | DAWN BAUER | SHANE BUNDRANT| STEVEN EVANS \nRYAN FRIGILLANA | KAITLYN GARCIA | THOMAS GIARRAFFA| KRISTEN HARNER | JESSY HERZOG KAHDEEM JEFFERSON | PAMELA MARTINEZ | XAVIER ANGEL MARTINEZ | JEAN MILLER \nNI OUYANG | ASHLEY PAOLELLA | JULIANO RIZKALLAH | SHANNON SEARSON | NIA JOI SPENCER \nGABRIELLA SPIEGEL | ANDREA ZALKIN \nGUEST ARTISTS: \nELIZABETH BICK | JOHN CYR URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-view-finder/ LOCATION:Art and Design Gallery Studio\, Room D223\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ORGANIZER;CN="Elizabeth Bick":MAILTO:elizabeth_bick@fitnyc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181213 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181214 DTSTAMP:20260404T034139 CREATED:20181212T142127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181212T150908Z UID:10006641-1544659200-1544745599@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: Future Possibilities — Opens DESCRIPTION:December 13–February 1\, 2019 \nThis exhibition provides explorations into the Accessories Design\, Jewelry Design\, and Fashion Design departments.
