SUMMARY:Exhibition: Pink: The History of a Punk\, Pretty\, Powerful Color — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon dress\, pink silk taffeta\, 1857\, USA\, museum purchase.\nSeptember 7\, 2018–January 5\, 2019  \nPink is popularly associated with little girls\, ballerinas\, Barbie dolls\, and all things feminine. Yet the symbolism and significance of pink have varied greatly across time and space. The stereotype of pink-for-girls versus blue-for-boys may be ubiquitous today\, but it only gained traction in the mid-20th century. In the eighteenth century\, when Madame de Pompadour helped make pink fashionable at the French court\, it was perfectly appropriate for a man to wear a pink suit\, just as a woman might wear a pink dress. In cultures such as India\, men never stopped wearing pink. \nYet anyone studying pink comes up against “the color’s inherent ambivalence.” One of “the most divisive of colors\,” pink provokes strong feelings of both “attraction and repulsion.”  “Please sisters\, back away from the pink\,” wrote one journalist\, responding to the pink pussy hats worn at the Women’s March. Some people think pink is pretty\, sweet\, and romantic\, while others associate it with childish frivolity or flamboyant vulgarity. In recent years\, however\, pink increasingly has been interpreted as cool\, androgynous\, and political. “Why would anyone pick blue over pink?” mused the rapper Kanye West. “Pink is obviously a better color.” In the words of i-D magazine\, pink is “punk\, pretty\, and powerful.” \nCurated by Dr. Valerie Steele\, director of The Museum at FIT\, Pink: The History of a Punk\, Pretty\, Powerful Color will explore the changing significance of the color pink over the past three centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: X-RAYS of Balenciaga\, Chanel\, Dior\, and Givenchy — Opens
DESCRIPTION:February 6–16\, 2019 \nX-RAYS of Balenciaga\, Chanel\, Dior\, and Givenchy is the result of a collaboration between the students of FIT’s Fashion Design MFA program and The Museum at FIT. The project is part of a course titled “Fashion Creation 3—Design Archaeology\,” which centers on the concept that in order to move design forward\, it is of utmost value to know where it has been. \nThe students were divided into four groups\, and then each group was tasked with producing a replica of a couture garment from a leading fashion house: Balenciaga\, Chanel\, Dior\, or Givenchy. The original garments\, housed in The Museum at FIT collection\, were carefully researched by the students. In addition to creating the line-for-line replicas\, the students gained a deep understanding of the brand’s heritage. They then developed a contemporary\, technology-driven collection. \nThe display of process-based design work highlights each student’s personal development\, resulting in a fully realized look and an advertorial that completes their vision and projects a new direction for each house. \nThis exhibition is open to the public.  \n  \nThe Museum at FIT hours:\nTuesday–Friday: Noon–8 pm\nSaturday: 10 am–5 pm\nClosed Sundays\, Mondays\, and legal holidays \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Threads of Bondage\, Invisibility\, and Style Influence: Hidden African American Contributions to American Couture (Revisited) — Opens
DESCRIPTION:February 11–March 31 \nIt is estimated that between 1525 and 1866 some 12.5 to 15 million African men\, women\, and children were violently forced from Western and Central Africa into brutal captivity to provide labor for the Western Hemisphere. Approximately 450\,000 of the 10.5 million who survived the overseas voyages were sent to North America to be enslaved. Within this environment developed highly skilled and valued enslaved dressmakers and seamstresses. The exhibition is in tribute to the many unrecognized women who but for their bondage would have been recognized as “designers.” \nItems on view are provided courtesy of the Leonard Davis collection. \nThe exhibition is located on the west side of the fourth floor corridor connecting the Business and Liberal Arts Center and the Dubinsky Student Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Images of the Mind: Introduction to Chinese Calligraphic Art — Opens
DESCRIPTION:February 13–May 15 \nThis exhibition showcases select works by FIT students in the team-taught course “Images of the Mind: Introduction to Chinese Calligraphic Art.” Through guided training\, students gain knowledge of key concepts\, methods\, and techniques of calligraphy and brush pen writing. They also receive a thorough background in the history of the art form and its significance in Chinese. \nBy studying the history of calligraphy and its close connection to poetry\, painting\, and the dissemination of Taoist and Buddhist teachings\, students deepen their understanding of why calligraphy has been considered the highest art form in Chinese culture\, and how calligraphy has developed from a functional communications medium to a deeply expressive art form that combines personal feelings\, situations\, physical conditions\, and the immediate environment. \nCurated by Bing Hu and Chen Zhang; video installation curated by Mario E. Valero.

The original garments\, housed in The Museum at FIT collection\, were carefully researched by the students. In addition to creating the line-for-line replicas\, the students gained a deep understanding of the brand’s heritage. They then developed a contemporary\, technology-driven collection. \nThe display of process-based design work highlights each student’s personal development\, resulting in a fully realized look and an advertorial that completes their vision and projects a new direction for each house. \nThis exhibition is open to the public.  \nThe Museum at FIT hours:\nTuesday–Friday: Noon–8 pm\nSaturday: 10 am–5 pm\nClosed Sundays\, Mondays\, and legal holidays

She was awarded a studio space at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation\, New York\, and she has held residencies at the Zabludowicz Collection\, Finland\, and the Chinati Foundation\, Marfa\, Texas. She led an artist workshop at the Kyoto City University of Arts\, Japan. Since her first solo exhibitions at Bellwether Gallery\, New York\, in 2002 and 2005\, Altfest has had solo exhibitions at White Cube\, London\, and her work has been featured in exhibitions at the New Museum\, New York\, the Venice Biennale\, and at MK Gallery\, Milton Keynes\, U.K. Her current exhibition\, Green Spot\, is on view at White Cube\, Hong Kong\, China. \n\nThis event is part of the ARTSpeak 2018–2019 lecture series\, Artists and the New Muse\, an interdisciplinary program presented by the departments of Fine Arts\, History of Art\, and English and Communication Studies. \nARTSpeak is made possible in part through funding by the FIT Student-Faculty Committee\, the School of Art and Design\, and the School of Liberal Arts. \nFor more information\, visit blog.fitnyc.edu/artspeak. \nThe event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Film and Media Screening Series: 'Just Another Girl on the IRT\,' with Leslie Harris
DESCRIPTION:Director Leslie Harris.            JUST ANOTHER GIRL ON THE I.R.T.\, Ariyan Johnson\, Ebony Jerido\, 1993\, (c)Miramax     \nOriginal\, provocative\, and female-driven\, the feature Just Another Girl on the IRT was a welcome relief from the male dominated urban films of the ’90s. Smart\, ambitious\, and brash\, the lead character\, Chantel\, is not your typical “good girl” or “bad girl” but a complex character who deals with her ambitions\, African-American culture and disappointments with both humor and pathos. With a bold\, unforgettable hip-hop soundtrack and a heart-stopping ending\, this feature has become an indie cult classic and defined a generation. \nLeslie Harris\, one of the first African-American women to write\, direct and produce a narrative feature film. Just Another Girl on the IRT was released theatrically in the United States and 20 countries worldwide in 1993 after winning the Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize. Harris\, producer and president of her production company\, sold the feature to Miramax. The feature received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Debut Performance by a lead actress and Harris has received the IFP Gotham Award Open Palm\, a National Endowment for the Arts grant\, American Film Institute Filmmaker Award\, three New York State Council on the Arts grants\, a Jerome Foundation grant\, and an ABC/DGA Directing Fellowship. \nHarris produced and directed the narrative Showtime short film Bessie Coleman’s Dream to Fly\, about the first African-American to obtain an international pilot license\, two years before Amelia Earhart; the film received a Showtime Award for Excellence. Her short Never Forget\, about the historical\, social\, and political significance of black churches in Brooklyn\, was an official selection at the Philadelphia International Film Festival. She has taught at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and lectures at many universities around the world. \nJust Another Girl on the IRT recently screened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts\, British Film Institute in London and Bristol\, UK for its 25th anniversary. Harris’ next feature is a satirical comedy about sex\, race\, and the media\, titled I Love Cinema. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Visiting Author Talk: Simeon Marsalis
DESCRIPTION:Simeon Marsalis. Photo by Chris Buck.\nMultimedia writer Simeon Marsalis‘s first novel\, As Lie Is to Grin\, focuses on an African-American college student’s experience in a predominantly white college. Short-listed for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize in 2017\, the novel examines racialized bodies navigating spaces from which they have historically been barred. Incorporating texts by other African-American writers\, Marsalis confronts the twinned issues of race and class\, love and desire. \nMarsalis also wrote the script for the film The Opera Game and contributed to Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Webby-nominated blog. Author of a forthcoming book of essays about college athletics and nationalism\, he is a Henry Rutgers Fellow at Rutgers Newark and is working on a novel about finding hope in a dystopia. \nThis event is presented by the Department of English and Communication Studies and the School of Liberal Arts and is funded in part by Poets & Writers through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, in partnership with the City Council. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
