27/03/2024 18:30 27/03/2024 20:00 America/New_York A Conversation with Sara Zewde and Frida Escobedo Event detailsWednesday, March 27, 20246:30 pm  Dia Chelsea 537 West 22nd StreetNew York, New York Free; register for the event here. Join us for an engaging conversation with landscape architect Sara Zewde and architect Frida Escobedo, two dynamic creatives transforming art institutions in New York and beyond. Studio Zewde has recently been selected to design the south garden at Dia Beacon, while Frida Escobedo has been appointed as the architect for the new Modern & Contemporary Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Following an introduction by Dia’s Nathalie de Gunzburg Director Jessica Morgan, Zewde and Escobedo will engage in dialogue with Deputy Director of Program Humberto Moro. Sara Zewde is the founding principal of Studio Zewde, a New York–based design firm practicing landscape architecture, urbanism, and public art. Listed in Architectural Digest’s AD100 and recipients of the Emerging Voice award from the Architectural League of New York, the firm is celebrated for its design methods that sync culture, ecology, and craft. Zewde is also an Assistant Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, New Haven, and is currently writing a book on her research on Frederick Law Olmsted's journeys through the Slave South. Zewde holds a master’s degree in landscape architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design; a master’s in city planning from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; and a bachelor’s in sociology and statistics from Boston University.    Frida Escobedo established her eponymous studio in Mexico City in 2006. The studio’s reputation—initially built on the strength of a series of competition-winning projects in her native country—has achieved global scope in 2018, when she received the prestigious appointment to design the annual Serpentine Pavilion in London’s Kensington Gardens, becoming the youngest architect to that date to undertake the project. Escobedo is the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Architectural League of New York’s Young Architects’ Forum award (2009), Ibero-American Architecture and Urbanism Biennial prize (2014), the Architectural Review Emerging award (2016), and Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices award (2017). Most recently, the Créateurs Design Association & Awards has named Escobedo as the recipient of Le Prix Charlotte Perriand for 2024. More information on Dia Beacon's major landscaping project will be continually updated on our blog. Dia Chelsea FALSE DD/MM/YYYY A Conversation with Sara Zewde and Frida Escobedo

28/03/2024 18:30 28/03/2024 20:00 America/New_York On and Off-Screen Imaginaries: A Conversation with Tiffany Sia and An-My Lê Event detailsThursday, March 28, 20246:30 pm Film and video programThursday–Saturday, March 28–30, 202412–6 pm Dia Chelsea537 West 22nd Street New York, New York Free; register for the conversation here. Co-organized by Dia with Primary Information and Printed Matter, this conversation between Tiffany Sia and An-My Lê marks the release of Sia’s collection of essays, On and Off-Screen Imaginaries (2024). In 2022, as part of Dia’s Artists on Artists Lecture Series, Sia delivered a lecture on Lê’s series Small Wars (1999–2002) and realized a filmic montage from the photographs that comprise it. A program of film and video works by Roddy Bogawa, An-My Lê, Simon Leung, Tiffany Sia, and Rea Tajiri accompanies with the conversation, chosen as works that illuminate Sia’s notion of the “no place,” a concept introduced in the book. As Sia writes, “no place” is a spatial “vision of locales whose specificities are blurred by invasion, violence, and hostility—contested territories, seized ports or battlefields, contact zones or port cities. . . . The “no place” cannot be known—it remains an enigma and lives on as specter.” These moving-image works will be on view in Dia Chelsea’s talk space from Thursday through Saturday, March 28–30, 12–6 pm. The event is presented on the occasion of Dia and Printer Matter’s partnership on the forthcoming NY Art Book Fair, held from April 26–28, 2024. Dia is once again hosting the book fair’s Classroom Series. Full schedule of events to be announced. Tiffany Sia is an artist, filmmaker, and writer who was born in Hong Kong. She earned a BA in film studies and Asian studies from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 2010. Sia has directed several experimental short films, including Never Rest/Unrest (2020), Do Not Circulate (2021), and What Rules the Invisible (2022). Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at Artists Space, New York (2021); FELIX GAUDLITZ, Vienna (2022); and ahj.pm, Germany (2023). Her work has been presented in international group exhibitions at venues including the Kunstverein Düsseldorf; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Seoul Museum of Art. Sia is the author of the chapbook Salty Wet (2019) and the artist book Too Salty, Too Wet (2021), and her essays have appeared in the journals Film Quarterly and October. Sia lives in New York. An-My Lê was born in Saigon, Vietnam, in 1960. She is an artist and professor of photography at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at MoMA PS1, Queens (2002); Baltimore Museum of Art (2013); and Museum of Modern Art, New York (2023). In 2008, Dia Beacon presented a commission by Lê consisting of 22 photographs of a basalt quarry located 10 miles up the Hudson River from the museum. Lê’s photographs drew on the traditions of landscape painters of the Hudson River School and of landscape photographers from the 1960s included in Dia’s collection, and represented images that were not strictly of the documentary genre but rather were informed by a historical and cultural understanding of the region. She has been included in numerous group exhibitions at venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2001); Tate Modern, London (2014); and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2015). Lê lives in Brooklyn. Dia Chelsea FALSE DD/MM/YYYY On and Off-Screen Imaginaries: A Conversation with Tiffany Sia and An-My Lê

Celebrated poet, translator, and editor Jeffrey Yang and renowned Filipinx sound artist and composer Susie Ibarra debut a new participatory text and sound score at Dia Beacon. Drawing on their interest in relays and resonances, the body and movement, and synesthesia and perception, this hybrid performance takes inspiration from the natural world—particularly the souls and spirits of birds and water as a symbol of interconnectedness—as well as Robert Irwin’s spatial installation Full Room Skylight – Scrim V – Dia Beacon (1972/2022) on view at Dia Beacon. Audiences are invited to help realize this collaborative work by joining the participatory orchestra. Whether one claps, snaps, whistles, or makes bird calls, any necessary instruments will be provided.  Jeffrey Yang is the author of several poetry books including most recently Hey, Marfa (2018) and Line and Light (2022). Among the anthologies he has edited are Birds, Beasts, and Seas: Nature Poems (2011) and The Sea Is a Continual Miracle: Sea Poems and Other Writings by Walt Whitman (2017). His translations include Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo’s June Fourth Elegies (2012) and Bei Dao’s autobiography City Gate, Open Up (2017). Yang has received fellowships from the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, Lannan Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts. He is an editor-at-large for New Directions Publishing and also edits titles for the New York Review Books. His translation of Bei Dao’s Sidetracks will be published by New Directions in May 2024. Yang is based in Beacon, New York. Susie Ibarra is a Filipinx composer, percussionist, and sound artist. Among her many projects, she is the founder of Susie Ibarra Studio and, with artist-musician and engineer Jake Landau, the label and publisher Habitat Sounds. Her interdisciplinary practice includes performance, mobile sound-mapping applications, multichannel audio installations, recording, and documentary. She works to support Indigenous and traditional music cultures, like musika katutubo from the Philippines; advocates for the stewardship of glaciers and freshwaters; and collaborates with the Joudour Sahara Music Program in Morocco on initiatives that preserve sound-based heritage, support women and girls, and address desert climate. She has recorded over 40 albums and performed in events and venues such as Carnegie Hall, New York; the Olympics; and the Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates. Her book Rhythm in Nature is forthcoming, and recent honors include a 2024 DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program fellowship, for which she is based in Berlin.
