The exhibition conveys a complexity of place and people through film, photographs, installations and sculptures that highlight Arctic landscape and culture. “View From Up Here” also offers glimpses into the future of the Arctic within the context of great environmental and cultural change. The artworks in the exhibition offer insights into the North, presenting the North from a broader perspective. Participating artists range from Indigenous artists from Alaska offering an insider view of the North to international contemporary artists who have visited and studied the Arctic. The exhibition will have components throughout the museum, from formal galleries to an informal "living room" that offers gathering space for investigation and conversation, as well as installations in common spaces and outdoors. It is accompanied by public programs, including performances, in the museum and out in the community. A corresponding publication supports examination of the North beyond black-and-white perspectives.

Pierre, Ph.D. Norma Ponce Dan Steinberg Marlon WiIIie Cover Design: Toby Allan LETTER FROM THE MAYOR My Fellow New Yorkers: For nearly 40 years, the Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) has given the people of this city a window into how their government is working for them. The MMR embodies our commitment to transparency and accountability and it is one of the ways we use data to improve City services for all New Yorkers. The 2016 report marks my Administration’s second full year of providing this important information. The MMR highlights the full range of what we do: from everyday services to emergency operations; from small-scale initiatives to larger endeavors. Some of these services have an immediate and tangible effect, while others will have a significant effect over time. I’ve often talked about the inequities in our society as a Tale of Two Cities. With the MMR, you will get a detailed look at how City government is tackling these inequalities and creating a New York that is inclusive and fairer for all.

With crime at historic lows, Pre-Kindergarten for every four- year-old, and higher wages for working people, we’ve made significant progress. But there is more to do—and we are determined to make things even better. The Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) is a crucial tool in these efforts.

For more than 40 years, the MMR has provided a transparent and open look at the leaders who serve this city.

For more than 30 years Bruguera has worked at the intersection of activism and performance art to address structures of power, devise new utopian models of authority, and create alternative structures that aim to transform and redistribute power. This has resulted in art projects that take the form of social movements, newspapers, and schools—and even Bruguera’s own provocative self-nomination for the 2018 Cuban presidential election. Organized by YBCA and curated by Lucía Sanromán, director of visual ​ ​ arts, and Susie Kantor, curatorial associate, Tania Bruguera: Talking to Power / ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hablándole al Poder will present together for the first time Bruguera’s long-term ​ projects initiated between 1985 and 2017 that have sought to transform the ​ emotional and symbolic affect of art into political effectiveness.
