Ian Cron talk on his new book "Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me: A Memoir...Of Sorts"

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0500

Author Ian Cron will be giving a talk and reading from his new book Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me: A Memoir... Of Sorts.

Bar 82, 136 2nd Ave (just below St Marks Place)

November 21 at 8pm

About the book:

At the age of sixteen, Ian Morgan Cron was told by his mother that his father, a motion picture executive, also worked for the CIA in Europe. This astonishing revelation, coupled with his father's dark struggles with alcoholism, upended the world of a boy struggling to become a man. Decades later, as he faces his own personal demons, Ian realizes the only way to find peace is to voyage back through a childhood marked by extremes--privilege and hardship, violence and tenderness, truth and deceit--that he's spent years trying to forget. In this surprisingly funny and forgiving memoir, Ian reminds us that no matter how different the pieces may be, in the end we are all cut from the same cloth, stitched by faith into an exquisite quilt of grace.

David Chang Exhibition at Onishi Gallery

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0400

Come support the artist at the opening of his second solo show at Onishi Gallery.

Thursday October 13th, 6-8pm, 521 West 26th Street, New York, NY 10001

"The exhibition entitled Meditations is a deeply personal exploration of Chang’s triune study of self: his history, his faith, his calling.

Chang’s work stems from a calligraphic gesture that is intuitive and spontaneous. He applies his distinct gesture to investigate and interpret text in a contemporary context. The end result is a texture on a page that approaches lyrical abstraction." Onish Gallery
