Dia is once again partnering with Printed Matter on the NY Art Book Fair, hosting the fair's Classroom series at Dia Chelsea.  

On Friday, April 26, 4–5 pm, as part of the Classroom series, Dia presents The Book of Night: A conversation with James Hoff and Hannah B Higgins, in conjunction with the exhibition Mary Heilmann: Starry Night currently on view at Dia Beacon.

On Saturday, April 27, 12–6 pm, Gerardo Ismael Madera collaborates with members of Dia Teens on a table for the NYABF's block party. Using multimedia tools including sound recorders, scanning wands, cyanotypes, and charcoal rubbings, the teens will record and document West 22nd street, the home of their weekly program. Visitors are welcome to engage with the ephemera produced from and on the street, inviting dialogue on the role of documentation in shaping interpretations of a site. 

In conjunction with the fair, Dia Chelsea galleries will have special hours on Sunday, April 28, 12–6 pm.

The NYABF 2024 Classroom series is organized in collaboration with David Senior, director of library and archives at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Emmy Catedral, curator of public programs at the Center for Art, Research and Alliance, New York; hosted by Dia Art Foundation at 537 W 22nd Street; and generously supported by Cargo.
