In Everlasting Stranger, New York-based choreographer and writer Will Rawls (b. 1978, Boston, MA) activates relationships between language, dance, and image through the fragmentary medium of stop-motion animation. In his installation, time and movement slow as a live, automated camera photographs the frame-by-frame actions of four dancers.

We are excited to welcome Ishmael Butler, of Shabazz Palaces and Digable Planets, for the second of three artist residencies to activate Gary Simmons: The Engine Room.

Borders, across the Americas and around the world, have come to represent spaces of violence, captivity, and death. How can artists, academics, and activists generate new stories and representations that allow us to challenge existing border politics and imaginaries? How can art help us actively and reflectively promote life over death, freedom over detention?

Framed by Gary Simmons: The Engine Room, on view now at the Henry, join artist Gary Simmons and LANGSTON Program Manager Jazmyn Scott for a conversation about how their passions for music sit at the center of their creative and community practices.

This month the Henry Art Gallery is partnering with the Goethe Institut Pop Up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the highly influential and versatile artist Joseph Beuys (Germany, 1921-1986). Beuys believed strongly that everyone is an artist, and that art has the power to bring about social and political change. Join us as we discuss works in the Henry’s collection by Beuys, as well as a variety of artists who were influenced by him. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month.

On the Boards and the Henry Art Gallery are pleased to co-present a screening series. Curated by the Henry, this multi-evening event features work by various artists who use moving images to respond to colonial mentalities and tactics, from surveillance to capitalism. Drawing from existing and imagined spaces, each of these artworks employ sound and movement to generate potential worlds and futures. Please join us for these unique viewing experiences.
