Keith Haring in 3D is the first exhibition to highlight Keith Haring’s work in three dimensions, inviting visitors to move through, around, and within his art like never before. In the course of his short life, Keith Haring transmitted across a dizzying range of creative channels: painting, sculpture, installation, video, murals, performance, printmaking, early digital art, and more. While Haring helped define the look and mood of the 1980s, he also saw clearly a future that has become our present.
Haring is typically thought of as primarily a two-dimensional artist, but Keith Haring in 3D focuses on a lesser-known and highly compelling aspect of Haring’s practice as a sculptor. He created hundreds of three-dimensional artworks, beginning with painting objects he found in the street. Eventually, Haring made monumental sculptures in wood and metal, and even a whole store for his art.
Haring was, above all, a master of line, with an instinctive ability to compose on multiple scales. Haring’s work in three dimensions has never been the focus of a major exhibition and has rarely been shown. Keith Haring in 3D will fill this gap in public understanding by showcasing a wide range of Haring’s works, including sculpture, totems and masks, skateboards, clothing, boomboxes, paintings, drawings, and even a 1963 Buick Special. The exhibition will be accompanied by a major book published by Phaidon/Monacelli.
In this class we will explore the medium of watercolor. I’ll go over the standard materials and tools. We’ll learn fundamentals such as Wet-on Wet, Wet-on-Dry, Color Mixing and more. Each week we’ll draw and paint from life exploring various subject matter from the simplest shapes to florals to even past great artists of the medium.

Joshua Stacy was ten years old when he asked God to let him do the impossible.
God said no.
Ever since he's had one goal. Find the impossible.
Impossible Things is a close-up magic experience for only 10 people at a time. Over the course of an hour and a half, Joshua shares many of the loopholes he has found in the fabric of reality. He will solve problems that shouldn't have solutions, produce patterns that shouldn't exist, and happen upon coincidences that can't be explained. Some come from the techniques he has spent years developing, others seem to happen all on their own, and one was set in motion before anyone stepped in the room.
Ten seats. Ten shows.

What is close-up magic? This is not a stage show. Joshua works at a table, just a few feet from his audience. Every effect happens in your hands, on the table in front of you, or in plain sight with nowhere to hide.
Run time: 1.5 hours
What to expect: Guests are seated in an intimate semicircle of ten chairs. Participation is encouraged but never required. Out of respect for the experience phones should be put away for the duration of the show.
Age recommendation: This show was intended for a focused audience, 16 or older.
