1.”Everything Slackens in a Wreck” at Ford Foundation Gallery, New York
The Ford Foundation, perhaps one of New York City’s longest-shuttered cultural spaces, re-emerges post-lockdown with a four-artist show—featuring Margaret Chen, Andrea Chung, Wendy Nanan, and Kelly Sinnapah Mary—curated by Trinidadian scholar, author, and artist Andil Gosine and inspired by the diasporan experience. Chung has built a site-specific community bird nest from sugar cane scraps collected in Trinidad, while Mary’s contribution includes 20 papier mâché sculptures from her series “Notebook of No Return,” a large-scale triptych painting, and two portraits of her parents inspired by the Indian ancestry she only learned of as an adult.

2. “Cristina Iglesias: Landscape and Memory” at Madison Square Park, New York
This summer’s Madison Square Park public art installation digs into the physical history of the site, which was once home to Cedar Creek. In memory of this lost body of water, Cristina Iglesias will place five bronze sculptural pools on the park’s Oval Lawn, inviting visitors to imagine the once-flowing waters of this long-forgotten stream—almost as if they were archaeologists investigating New York City’s geological past.
Location: Madison Square Park, between Broadway and Madison Avenue and East 23 Street and East 26 Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: On view daily at all times

3. “William Klein: YES; Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948–2013” at the International Center of Photography, New York
This retrospective of the multi-faceted photographer includes nearly 300 works, ranging from photographs, paintings, films, and photobooks. Covering his more than 60-year career, it is the first major US show in decades.
The roughly chronological presentation was organised by ICP curator-at-large David Campany, who worked with Klein for more than a decade to unite the diverse strands of his global practice in painting, graphic design, street photography, fashion photography, documentary film, scripted film, and books. “For a long time, Klein was known as either a fashion photographer or a street photographer or a filmmaker, as different audiences knew and valued different aspects of his work,” Campany said. “Only in recent years has the scope of his achievements begun to be recognized.”
Location: International Center of Photography, 79 Essex Street, New York
Price: $16 general admission; suggested donation on Thursdays, 6 p.m.–9 p.m.
Time: Opening reception, 7 p.m.– 9 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday–Monday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.

4. “One Hundred Years of James Joyce Ulysses” at The Morgan Library & Museum
Calling all Bloomsday celebrants and Joyce fans: “One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s Ulysses” at the historic Morgan Library—one of the historic former homes of industrialist J.P. Morgan—traces the author’s path from poet to Modernist literary genius. The show presents key figures in his career, including artists and writers who responded to his magnum opus, and the family who shaped him.
The show delves into Joyce’s imagination during the creation of the book, as reflected in manuscripts, plans, and proofs. There are contributions from the James Joyce Collection at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. This presentation also highlights a significant gift to the Morgan by the art dealer Sean Kelly and his wife Mary, who over several decades accumulated one of the foremost Joyce collections in private hands.
Location: The Morgan Library, 225 Madison Avenue, New York
Price: Adults $22; $14 Seniors (65 +); $13 Students (with current ID) Free to children 12 and under (must be accompanied by an adult). Free Friday programs take place 5-7 p.m. (Reservations required)

5. “Photoville” at Brooklyn Bridge Park
For my money, Photoville is one of New York’s most engaging art events, presenting inspiring displays of images that highlight pressing social and environmental issues and unique stories of communities around the world—as well as just plain beautiful photographs. The artists featured in 60 exhibitions on view in 20 sites across the city range from graduating eighth graders from Santa Maria School in the Bronx to Indigenous artists Dakota Mace and Tahila Mintz. The show’s hub is in Brooklyn Bridge Park, but there are installations as far afield as Floyd Bennett Field in Queens, where there is a presentation by the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy and the Sanitation Museum, and Van Cortland Park in the Bronx, featuring work by the Bronx Women’s Photo Collective.
Location: Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1, 2 Furman Street, Brooklyn, and 20 other locations across New York City
Price: Free
Time: Opening celebration, 1 p.m.–10 p.m.; on view daily at all times

6. “Howard Schwartzberg: Before Painting” at Private Public Gallery, New York
Private Public Gallery, which opened this January in a former synagogue, is giving Howard Schwartzberg his first solo show in 20 years. The artist, who was born in 1965, began developing his own unique approach to painting in the late 1980s, creating sculptural works that reshaped the stretched canvases into shredded strips and other forms. “Rearranging and rethinking the functionality of the painting materials, for example, applying canvas to paint instead of paint to canvas, broadened my interpretation of what a painting can be,” the artist wrote on his website. “Collapse and decay are present in the work, which are glued or sewn back together.”
Location: Private Public Gallery, 531 Columbia Street, Hudson
Price: Free
Time: Opening reception, 4 p.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m.–6 p.m., and by appointment

7. “Around the Table: Stories of the Foods We Love” at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx
If you’re like me and art and food are two of your great passions, you’ll want to make time this summer for a trek up to the Bronx, where the New York Botanical Garden is celebrating food’s origins in an exhibition celebrating both the art and science of culinary traditions. The show includes tables designed by Bronx artists installed throughout the garden as well as more scientific displays about the environmental and social impacts of our food choices.
Location: The New York Botanical Garden, 2900 Southern Boulevard, Bronx
Price: $30 general admission
Time: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.

8. “Unnatural Nature: Post-Pop Landscapes” at Acquavella, New York
This two-part exhibition closed in Palm Beach on May 25, but you can still catch this colorful and stylized ode to contemporary landscape painting curated by Todd Bradway, editor of Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism, on the Upper East Side. The featured artists range in age from 35 to 95 (that would be Lois Dodd at the top) and include the likes of David Hockney and the recently deceased Wayne Thiebaud, to Jules de Balincourt and Nicholas Party.

9. “Neustro Juramento” at Ed. Varie, New York
Don’t miss non-binary queer artist Moisés Salazar Tlatenchi’s luminous solo exhibition at Ed. Varie. Tlatenchi creates works that celebrate the beauty of non-binary individuals, and offers a safe space. The bulk of these works were created in Mexico City in a residency created specifically for them by Ed. Varie. The title translates to “Our Oath” and reflects the time the artist spent connecting to their roots as a first generation Mexican from Chicago.
Location: Ed. Varie, 184 East 7th Street, New York

Time: Saturday–Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m. and by appointment

10. “Jen DeNike: Visions of the Daughters” at Signs and Symbols, New York
In preparation for her solo show at Signs and Symbols, Jen DeNike personally mined thousands of quartz crystals from geological crevices in Arkansas that have existed for hundreds of millions of years. The show’s title comes from “Visions of the Daughters of Albion,” a 1793 poem by English writer and artist William Blake, envisioning a future where women enjoy societal and sexual autonomy. The main piece in the show is a video in which women lie in repose, projected onto a crystal-encrusted box, inspired by 13th-century Irish burials.
Location: Signs and Symbols, 249 East Houston Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

Through Monday, July 25

11. “Kazuko Miyamoto: Works from 1966 to 2005” at Zürcher Gallery, New York
This exhibition, which opened just ahead of Memorial Day weekend, coincides with Kazuko Miyamoto’s first institutional solo show, “To Perform a Line” at New York’s Japan Society (through July 10). The artist, who was born in 1942, has not been fully recognized for her significant contributions to the Minimalism movement. An alumni of the Art Students League, were she studied under Charles Alston, Miyamoto was the studio assistant and friend of Sol LeWitt, but developed her own brand of abstract geometric paintings, embracing the grid format.
Location: Zürcher Gallery, 33 Bleecker Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.

12. Valet bike parking at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
If, like me, you’ve taken up biking as your primary means of transportation in New York, you’ve probably been frustrated by the absurd lack of bike parking, especially outside major cultural institutions. The Met was already head and shoulders above most other museums, with dedicated bike racks in the parking garage, but they are stepping up their game this summer with the return of their seasonal valet bike parking on weekends. The initiative adds 100 spots to the existing parking infrastructure—and means no fumbling with your bike lock.
Location: The Met Fifth Avenue, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York
Price: Free
Time: Saturday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Sunday and holiday Mondays (July 4 and September 5), 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Attorney General James Returns Over $1 Million to New Yorkers for Events Canceled Due to Pandemic Shutdowns
Thousands of New Yorkers to Receive Refunds from Westchester Broadway Theater
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced that her office has recovered more than $1 million for thousands of customers who bought tickets to Westchester Broadway Theater (WBT), but were denied refunds when performances were canceled due to pandemic-related closures. The WBT, a live theater company formerly located in Elmsford, has agreed to refund tickets and gift certificates purchased prior to the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Customers have already begun receiving their refund checks.
“After the Westchester Broadway Theater took its final bow, thousands of theatergoers were unable to get refunds for tickets they had already purchased,” said Attorney General James. “For months, theatergoers were stuck in the wings, but today, my office helped put more than $1 million back into New Yorkers’ pockets. While the curtains are finally closed on this saga, we will continue to go after companies that refuse to reimburse consumers.”
The WBT provides dinner and live theater performances of popular musicals and concerts on an open stage. As of March 2020, the theater had sold more than 30,000 tickets to upcoming performances which were canceled when WBT was forced to close because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the shutdown, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) received numerous complaints from ticketholders that WBT refused to issue refunds for canceled shows. In October 2020, OAG opened an investigation into WBT after it was reported that the theater was permanently closing and would not reimburse patrons. Instead, WBT created a ticket exchange policy with the White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC), whereby WPPAC would honor tickets and gift cards bought for WBT shows. However, no refund option was offered to WBT ticketholders, and the ticket exchange did not honor the value of the dinner portion of WBT tickets. Only 930 WBT ticket holders participated in the ticket exchange.
WBT has agreed to refund a total of $1,127,258.84 to thousands of customers, even the ones who participated in the ticket exchange with WPPAC. Gift certificate holders who show a receipt may also be eligible for a refund or may use the gift card at WBT’s new location in Chappaqua.
Today’s agreement is the latest in Attorney General James’ ongoing efforts to refund New York consumers for events canceled in the wake of the pandemic. Last year, OAG returned $427,000 to New Yorkers who paid deposits for events at Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle, but had their events canceled. To date, Attorney General James has recovered millions of dollars for New Yorkers in refunds for pandemic-related shutdowns.
“Once again, Attorney General James has helped consumers get the refunds they deserve,” said Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. “Many Westchester residents and others bought tickets to the Westchester Broadway Theater and because of COVID restrictions the performances were canceled, but the tickets were not refunded. I thank the Attorney General for her continued successful efforts on behalf of New York’s consumers.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an ultimate shutdown of all entertainment facilities and activities, including a cancellation of all programming at the Westchester Broadway Theater,” said State Senator Alessandra Biaggi. “However, it is unfair and dishonest for the Westchester Broadway Theater to refuse customers refunds for canceled programming due to circumstances beyond the customers’ control. I am incredibly grateful to Attorney General James for fighting for patrons of the theater who were denied refunds, and ensuring that New Yorkers receive the reimbursements they are owed.”
“The pandemic caused widespread economic despair to many businesses statewide, but in the case of the Westchester Broadway Theater, that is no excuse to withhold ticket refunds from customers for cancelled performances,” said State Senator Pete Harckham. “Attorney General James deserves thanks for making sure these customers finally got their money back.”
“The closure of the Westchester Broadway Theater was an incredible loss for our community, but that does not mean we should sacrifice consumer protections,” said State Senator Shelley Mayer. “I thank Attorney General Letitia James for her work to secure reimbursements that patrons deserve for canceled performances and meals.”
“I applaud the Attorney General’s persistence on behalf of our residents. The Attorney General has demonstrated that consumer protection is an important part of what we do as elected officials,” said Assemblymember Tom Abinanti. “The pandemic is no excuse for businesses to take advantage of their customers.”
“I applaud Attorney General James for her strong and successful efforts to return money to our local residents,” said Assemblymember Sandy Galef. “When theater events were canceled due to COVID, you would expect a refund to be available to the ticket purchasers. With the Attorney General’s involvement ticket holders will receive those refunds. This is a win for consumers.”
“One cannot understate the importance of returning money to consumers who likely had given up hope that they would be repaid,” said Assemblymember Steve Otis. “We are all thankful for the good work of Attorney General James in protecting these customers and having their payments returned.”
“People deserve to get their money back for canceled events,” said Assemblymember Amy Paulin. “I applaud Attorney General James for securing reimbursement funds for the thousands of consumers who purchased tickets to Westchester Broadway Theater shows which they didn’t get to see due to the theater’s closure.”
“The Westchester Broadway Theater brought joy to many in our community until it was forced to shut down due to the pandemic and unjustly denied refunds to thousands,” said Assemblymember J. Gary Pretlow. “I applaud Attorney General James and her office for putting money back into the pockets of our community members.”
“Westchester residents supported the Westchester Broadway Theater for years, only to see the organization shut down and then ticket refunds to thousands of our residents,” said Assemblymember Nader Sayegh. “I applaud Attorney General Letitia James for steadfastly pursuing this case and securing more than $1 million in ticket refunds for patrons who deserved not only their money back, but better treatment for their support of Westchester Broadway Theater for many years. It is good to see justice prevail.”
If consumers are having issues receiving a refund on a deposit for an event cancelled due to COVID-19 statewide regulations, they are encouraged to fill out an OAG complaint form or call the office’s hotline at (800) 771-7755.
This matter was handled by Assistant Attorney General Sandra Giorno-Tocco and Senior Consumer Fraud Representative John Katzenstein, under the supervision of Assistant Attorney General In-Charge of the Westchester Regional Office Gary Brown. The Westchester Regional Office is a part of the Division for Regional Affairs, which is led by Deputy Attorney General for Regional Affairs Jill Faber. The Division for Regional Affairs is overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy.
Farmhand jailed for raping sleeping women at horse-riding events
A man who raped two women as they slept in swags and horse floats at South Australian equestrian events has been sentenced to 11 years in jail, but could be eligible for parole in just over half that time.
Key points:
- Joshua James David Slape raped two women, in 2017 and 2018
- He attacked one of his victims as her child slept just metres away
- His 11-year sentence is backdated to start in November 2020 and has a non-parole period of seven years
Joshua James David Slape, 24, from Glenburnie near Mount Gambier, was found guilty in the District Court of rape, attempted rape and indecent assault over the incidents in 2017 and 2018.
The horse breeder and farmhand raped and indecently assaulted one of his victims as her child slept just metres away in a horse float following a riding event in the state’s south-east.
Slape had claimed that the mother had initiated the incident and then made up a false story against him.
Six months later, he raped another young woman as she slept in her swag next to friends after a rodeo in the south-east.
During sentencing, Judge Gordon Barrett said Slape was aged 19 at the time of his offending and had no prior convictions.
He sentenced Slape to 11 years in jail, backdated to November 2020 when he was taken into custody, with a non-parole period of seven years.
The court previously heard Slape’s crimes had turned his victims’ worlds upside down, destroyed their trust in men and left them with lasting trauma.
“He sexually offended against them when they were in situations of vulnerability, in that they’d both been consuming alcohol in the hours before the attack, and they’d both gone to sleep in their swags in locations that were somewhat isolated from other people.
“The defendant has not accepted the verdict and therefore he’s displayed no contrition or remorse.”
