ICYMI: For 8 months, @manabsmt resident Michael Clemow (@mikeclemow) cultivated tobacco plants in his studio––a gesture in recognition of our building's former life as a cigarette factory. On Saturday he debuted his project, Tabaci Memoriae, with a research symposium featuring panelists Jonathan Durham (@durhamjonathan), Z Behl (@zbehl), Amelia Winger-Bearskin (@studioamelia), & Suzanne Anker. 🌿
Come see the installation––on view for the next 2 weeks in Mana's front lobby––which includes his greenhouse, germination station, tobacco plants, & historical ephemera. 🌿

#Views from the #SkyRoom at @newmuseum. 🌈✨ #MotivationMonday #latergram

Remembering LGBTQ+ icons in the art world today. Happy #Pride! 🌈✨ Andy Warhol & Keith Haring.

We also want to congratulate our Videographer, Penn Eastburn, whose stellar paintings are on view tonight (for one night only) at @johndoenewyork in Brooklyn❕7-10PM 👀

Tomorrow from 6-9PM (right after @mikeclemow's tobacco symposium from 1-6PM), join @manabsmt & @apostrophenyc for an opening reception of new works by Sei Smith (@seismith). These sculptural works investigate the ethereal effects of color, light, and space. 🔴⚫️⚪️🔵

Today @manabsmt resident Michael Clemow (@mikeclemow) led a ceremonial planting of tobacco with members of the #ManaCommunity in recognition of our building's former life as a cigarette factory. 🌿
Join us this Sat, June 24, 1-6PM for Clemow's symposium & installation, where the artist will discuss the intent behind his site-specific research, along with guest speakers Jonathan Durham (@durhamjonathan), Z Behl (@zbehl), Amelia Winger-Bearskin (@studioamelia), & Suzanne Anker. 🌿
