 Margins of Memory exhibit

​

Opening reception: Saturday, November 8, 1-4 PM

​

Exhibit: November 8, 2025 to January 10, 2026

​

Gallery hours: Thursday to Saturday, 12-4 PM, and by appointment

​

​

Crown Gallery is proud to present Margins of Memory, an exciting new exhibit that brings together six international artists who currently reside in New York but span five different countries of origin, offering a global yet deeply personal meditation on memory and healing through the expanded mediums of print, papermaking, collage, and installation. In a world increasingly marked by displacement, fragmentation, and collective grief, these artists turn to the tactile intimacy of works on paper-etchings, monoprints, handmade pulp, and experimental processes-as a way to trace the fragile imprints of memory: personal, ancestral, and imagined.

​

​

Paper, as both surface and substance, holds and reveals. Its fibers retain touch, absorb pigment, and fray with time. In this exhibition, curated by Sariah Park, paper becomes a vessel for healing: a space where trauma can be transmuted, and stories-once silenced-can find form. Despite vast cultural and geographical distances, each artist finds a shared language in the medium itself. Printmaking, with its cycles of layering, pressing, and repetition, echoes the rituals of remembering and forgetting. The handmade sheet becomes an archive; the printed image, a gesture of reclaiming.

​

Together, these works invite viewers not only to look but to feel-to engage with memory not as static record, but as a living, breathing process of making and mending.

​

​

Participating artists include Emilie Houssart, Holland/U.K., Hayoon Jay Lee, South Korea, Anette Millington, USA, Malgorzata Oakes, Poland, Sariah Park, USA, and Xuewu Zheng, China

Margins of Memory opens on Saturday, November 8 with a reception from 1 - 4 PM, and runs through January 10, 2026. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 - 4 PM, and by appointment. ADA accessible, free parking.

In a world increasingly marked by displacement, fragmentation, and collective grief, these artists turn to the tactile intimacy of works on paper-etchings, monoprints, handmade pulp, and experimental processes-as a way to trace the fragile imprints of memory: personal, ancestral, and imagined.

​

​

Paper, as both surface and substance, holds and reveals. Its fibers retain touch, absorb pigment, and fray with time. In this exhibition, curated by Sariah Park, paper becomes a vessel for healing: a space where trauma can be transmuted, and stories-once silenced-can find form. Despite vast cultural and geographical distances, each artist finds a shared language in the medium itself. Printmaking, with its cycles of layering, pressing, and repetition, echoes the rituals of remembering and forgetting. The handmade sheet becomes an archive; the printed image, a gesture of reclaiming.

​

Together, these works invite viewers not only to look but to feel-to engage with memory not as static record, but as a living, breathing process of making and mending.

​

​

Participating artists include Emilie Houssart, Holland/U.K., Hayoon Jay Lee, South Korea, Anette Millington, USA, Malgorzata Oakes, Poland, Sariah Park, USA, and Xuewu Zheng, China

​

​

Margins of Memory opens on Saturday, November 8 with a reception from 1 - 4 PM, and runs through January 10, 2026. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 - 4 PM, and by appointment. ADA accessible, free parking.

​

Following acclaimed Met performances in La Traviata, Rigoletto, and Les Pêcheurs de Perles, soprano Lisette Oropesa takes on one of the bel canto repertory’s most thrilling roles as Elvira, whose love is tested by war and betrayal in Bellini’s final masterpiece.

​

In his striking new production, Charles Edwards—celebrated set designer making his Met directorial debut—sets the sweeping romance amid the strife of the English Civil War, drawing out the opera’s tensions between personal devotion and political duty. Tenor Lawrence Brownlee stars as Elvira’s beloved Arturo, with baritone Artur Ruciński as the scorned Riccardo, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as her steadfast uncle, Giorgio. Marco Armiliato conducts Bellini’s soaring, virtuosic score.

This year’s theme, (Included), invites artists to explore ideas of belonging, connection, recognition, and presence.

The streamers are hung, the punch has been spiked, and the cake is just begging to be eaten! Now all Bill has to do is wait for his guests to arrive. Bill’s 44th is an original comedic show created by puppeteers Dorothy James & Andy Manjuck to create one very worried leading man – Bill. Many styles of puppetry, raucous balloons, and a cheeky piece of crudité all collide to examine the pitfalls of impatience, the wonder of loneliness, and the universal passage of time.

​

This performance runs 55 minutes.

​

More about the work from creators, Dorothy James & Andy Manjuck:

​

Bill’s 44th was originally conceived in 2016 as a five-minute slam-piece for Puppet Homecomings. The prompt: “They are coming,” inspired us to throw a birthday party where no one ever comes. But then, due to scheduling conflicts, we weren’t able to attend the slam and we stuffed Bill’s head (lovingly) into a box on a shelf.

​

Two years later we were asked by our friend Rowan Magee, who was curating one of the nights for Dixon Place’s Puppet Blok, if we wanted to revisit the idea. We did, and (10 minutes of) Bill was born! What followed next was a whirlwind that culminated in a 20-minute workshop at Dixon Place in 2019, where we shared the bill with the ingenious Shayna Strype, applying and receiving a Production Grant from The Jim Henson Foundation, planning a workshop performance at the New York State Puppet Festival, being a part of Puppet Lab at St. Ann’s Warehouse, and readying for a premiere at Dixon Place in 2020!

​

Of course, things changed. While many of our ideas came to a screeching halt, Bill’s journey continued. Thanks to the New York State Puppet Festival in October of 2020 we were able to create Bill’s 44th (A Zoom Birthday), a 30-minute ‘zoom’ show performed live in our apartment. And finally, in June of 2021, Bill found his way to his premiere at Dixon Place as part of a puppetry series alongside artists Shayna Strype, Justin Perkins, and Maria Camia.

​

Bill’s 44th would like to thank The Jim Henson Foundation, Cheryl Henson, St. Ann’s Warehouse, the New York State Puppet Festival, and Dixon Place. Without their support the show would simply not exist.

While wadaiko (taiko for short) drums have been a part of Japanese culture for centuries, Ikuo Fujitaka, the founder and artistic director of Drum Tao (established in 1993), traces a bit of his inspiration to North America. After seeing Cirque du Soleil use a Japanese wadaiko drum in their show Mystère, he was inspired to build a production that would showcase traditional taiko drumming of Japan in a modern context.

​

Known for their virtuosity and power, Drum Tao creates a mesmerizing spectacle with dazzling staging, costumes, and lighting. You will be amazed by the thunderous rhythms, breathtaking choreography, and cutting-edge stagecraft. Based in Oita, Japan, Drum Tao performances have touched more than nine million spectators around the world.

An internationally renowned dance company based in Los Angeles, BODYTRAFFIC inspires audiences around the globe to simply love dance. Led by artistic director Tina Finkelman Berkett, the company is not one driven by a single choreographic voice. It aims to endorse established and new voices and be a home for an eclectic range of styles and perspectives that tell vital stories.

​

The BODYTRAFFIC program planned for the Quick Center is inspired by powerhouse musicians of the 20th century. Two pieces are choreographed by Trey McIntire, one set to music by soul-singing icon Etta James, and the other the music of Buddy Holly, who made an indelible impact on rock and roll despite dying in an accident when he was only 22. The third piece is choreographed by Matthew Neenan, inspired by the inimitable Peggy Lee, whose music spurs us to embrace the passion of living even in the darkest of times.

​

Named in tribute to Harriet Tubman (whose childhood nickname was Minty), Minty Fresh Circus brings to the stage a raucous, playful reimagination of circus and dance that infuses African performance rituals, ceremonies, and cultural traditions.

​

Conceived by Monique Martin, Minty Fresh Circus is a U.S.-based circus show performed by an all-Black cast, with a majority-Black creative team, celebrating the healing power of Black music and movement. The acrobats perform a range of movement sourced from the African Diaspora, including percussive dance, ritual movement, Lindy, hip-hop, poppin’ and lockin’, jukin’, hand games, and physical theater.

Eileen Ivers continues to push traditional fiddling boundaries from a folk music staple to a fiercely fresh, powerfully beautiful, intensely driving world stage experience. Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Ivers has performed and/or toured with such diverse artists as Sting, Patti Smith, Al Di Meola, Hall and Oates, and The Chieftains, and was a founding member of Cherish the Ladies.

​

Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated, Ivers has guest-starred with the London Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, over 60 symphony orchestras to date, and was the groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance. The daughter of Irish immigrants, her love of connecting her musical roots in both Ireland and the U.S. is palpable.

​

Recipient of Les Prix de la Danse de Montréal 2017 for performance as a solo with bang bang, Manuel Roque returns to the piece with a new energy, performed as a duet. This is a work that pushes artist and audience to the limit. Involving a repetition of jumps and athletic patterns counted in 11, bang bang demands exceptional concentration and physical commitment from the performers. This work gradually drips with combativeness and resistance, revealing the human-performers’ flaws. As a pair, the ordeal becomes a sharing of strengths and weaknesses, where continuing becomes at once absurd, poetic, and political.

​

“Manuel Roque does more than dance for us; he dances us, embodies our inability to dance, and generously restores dance to us, illuminating that precise place where the body becomes spirit and finds its illuminated unity.” – Jean Louis Perrier, Revue Movement, Montréal (translated from French)
