Gallery Talk with Christine Sciulli

Christine Sciulli’s primary medium is light. Sciulli allows the architecture of a room to dictate the composition of her work and then transforms the space to that vision. In Phosphene Dreams, a site-specific installation in Guild Hall’s Woodhouse Gallery, Sciulli will explore qualities of rigidity and fluidity by projecting light onto suspended fabric forms to create an illuminated and voluminous sculpture. Viewers are invited to be immersed in the environment and choose from a variety of perspectives and places to sit, linger, play, and interact with the work, as atmospheric shapes appear to grow and dissolve around the gallery.

Private Member Reception – Tony Oursler: Water Memory

Fresh off of his dynamic Public Art Fund Commission, Tear of the Cloud, which was on view at Riverside Park this past October, Guild Hall is pleased to turn over the entire museum to this noted artist who will delve into the subject of water and notions of “magical thinking” for the East End. Oursler has developed a new multimedia series of works which incorporate glass, computers and water. Thematically, the ubiquitous element of water becomes a repository for our belief systems as the artist references the development of cartography and the subsequent vanishing of sea monsters, Hollywood movies and evil maritime spirits, counterculture and the pseudoscience of water memory.

Do you love Bob Ross? WE DO!!
Join us, the Teen Arts Council, for a night of happy little cottage painting and non-alcoholic “mocktails” at Guild Hall!

Collectors Speak: Sotheby’s presents Treasures from Chatsworth

This summer, Sotheby’s will present Treasures from Chatsworth – a transportive experience that brings one of England’s fabled estates and one of the world’s greatest collections to New York. Join us for an intimate conversation with The Duke of Devonshire and­­ award-winning creative director and designer David Korins as they discuss the making of this much-anticipated exhibition.

Guild Hall Game Night

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Just One. Just One is a cooperative word guessing game. Each round, a word will be shown to every player but one – this player will be trying to guess the secret word from clues given by the other players. Each player secretly writes their clue on a piece of paper, and once all the clues have been written down, all duplicate clues are removed before being handed to the guesser. Clue-givers must try hard to give unique clues that won’t get cancelled out by teammates. This forces players to think dynamically and creatively even though the game itself is incredibly simple.

Out with the old, in with the new!

In the past couple decades, game designers have been creating fascinating, immersive table-top games that make Monopoly seem like it was designed in 1905. Game night no longer means suffering through hours of rolling dice in Monopoly or Risk. Today’s newest non-digital board and card games cultivate creativity, problem solving, social skills, and dexterity through clever game design. Join Guild Hall and Game Master Noah Salaway in embracing the tabletop revolution as we play some of the best modern board games on the market the last Monday of each month. Take a break from the digital age and join us at the table! Ages 16 and up only.

Guild Hall Game Night: Krazy Wordz

Mugimp. Flaxijen. Rilidun. Which is the toxic mushroom, the Scandanavian fish dish, and the term for a lazy person?

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Krazy Wordz, the game about making up, well, crazy words. Each round, players will privately receive a card with a prompt like “Baby Food Brand” and a selection of random letters. Everyone uses their letters to make up a fake word that fits their own prompt. Then, the cards are shuffled and each player must guess whose crazy words match which prompt. Krazy Wordz is a super fun word game that rewards creativity over a big vocabulary, and will have the whole table laughing from the get go.
