Each year Art Basel hosts its Conversations and Salon series of discussions and talks on a range of subjects, including the collection and exhibition of art, understanding art from a geographical and historical perspective, and timely topics concerning the contemporary art scene. Artists, gallerists, art historians, curators, museum directors, critics, and collectors participate in panel discussions, book signings, and interviews.
In its 17th (and final) season, the BMCC Tribeca PAC's Artists-in-Residence (AIR) hallmark program enables four to eight emerging and established artists-writers, dancers, and composers-to create and develop new work over the course of one year. We are celebrating this tremendous program with a final presentation that is indicative of the cutting-edge work this program has strived to present. The artists have been chosen by a panel of established performing arts professionals from some of the city's highest regarded organizations such as LaMama, Here ARTS, Abrams Arts Center, The New York State Council on the Arts, River to River, and Dance New Amsterdam. The artistic disciplines the artists come form are dance, multimedia, music, and theater.

The Museum of Modern Art presents Isa Genzken: Retrospective, from November 23, 2013, to March 10, 2014.

Although Isa Genzken (German, b. 1948) might be best known in America for her more recent outrageous and humorous sculptural assemblages made of materials like plastic beach umbrellas, baby dolls, and wheelchairs, the breadth of her achievement-which includes not only sculptures, but paintings, photographs, collages, drawings, artist's books, films, monumental public sculptures, and large-scale installations-is still largely unknown in the United States.
