GROVES & CO. ABOUT RUSSELL GROVES Russell Groves was born in a remote town on the coast of Nova Scotia and raised in the New York metropolitan area. Exposure to both rugged landscape and city skyline alike firmly established his singular design vision: a reverence for nature and materiality balanced by a highly sophisticated sensibility. Russell received his Architecture degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, an education which encompassed a rigorous and broad range of illustrative subjects including: fashion design, filmmaking, cultural history and classical literature. The multi-faceted curriculum provided a remarkable insight into an array of design disciplines and the ability to synthesize a multitude of creative methods. Dedicated to his profession, Russell began his career at Richard Meier Architects, followed by tenure at Kohn Pederson Fox. Soon after, he joined Peter Marino Architects, where he created and managed commissions for an array of important clients, including Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan and Barneys New York. His eponymous firm was launched with the incredible success of his first project, The Tea Box at Takashimaya. This innovative design led to a prestigious American Institute of Architects award, among many others. A long standing resident of Manhattan, Russell’s philanthropic efforts focus on the rehabilitation of New York and its inhabitants—for people and animals alike, supporting New Yorkers for Children, God’s Love We Deliver, Empire State Pride Agenda Foundation and numerous animal rescue and shelter programs. When taking the rare break from his busy schedule, Russell finds time to collect rare and eclectic early- modernist art, photography, furniture and decorative items for his New York, Los Angeles and East Hampton homes.

GROVES & CO. totally in sync Though he’s known for his cool and restrained rooms, Russell Groves turns out to be the ideal designer to transform a glassy Manhattan duplex into a stylish yet kid-friendly home. But for the owners, that was no surprise TEXT by NANCY HASS PHOTOGRAPHY by BJÖRN WALLANDER PRODUCED by ROBERT RUFINO Like the classic observation that dogs tend to resemble their owners (or vice versa), it’s not uncommon for homeowners, by the end of a big project, to notice that their taste has magically merged with that of their decorator or architect. The design process is arduous and involved, after all, and the avalanche of decisions, large and small, tends to drive you close. But the relationship between David and Laurie Rosenblatt and designer Russell Groves goes beyond the typical synergy born of spending a lot of time together mulling aesthetics and door hard- ware. As the story of this airy yet nuanced Manhattan penthouse illustrates, it’s possible to achieve virtual symbiosis. The Rosenblatts first discovered Groves’s work in 2009 when they were looking for a weekend home in bucolic Litchfield County, Con- necticut. They fell in love with a 19th-century barn that had been moved from Canada and rebuilt in the Colonial-era town of Wash- ington. They were enraptured by the sleekly casual finishes; the rich, warmly neutral color scheme; and every bit of the furnishings, down to the cashmere throw strewn artfully across the daybed. The house, they learned, had been done by Groves, who worked with Peter Marino and Richard Meier before starting on his own, and who is responsible for the Coach flagship store in Manhat- tan, Tiffany & Co.’s Shanghai outpost, and Michael Kors’s beach house. The Rosenblatts, who have four young children and consider LEFT: In the living room of David and Laurie Rosenblatt’s Upper East Side Manhattan duplex, which was designed by architect S. Russell Groves, the daybed, covered in an Hermès fabric, and sofa, in a Great Plains fabric, are custom made, the Milo Baughman–style chairs are covered in a Great Plains linen, and the cocktail table is by Roman Thomas; the light sculpture over the piano is by Soledad Arias, the rug is by Fort Street Studio, and the walls are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Decorators White.

Groves laughed: He’d designed the building’s public spaces, including the lobby, and all the interior finishes of the units. The Rosenblatt apartment, two duplexes stitched together, is clas- sic Groves: a sophisticated, light-filled refuge that is utterly grown- up but, due to its lack of fussiness, surprisingly kid-friendly. Both an architect and a designer, Groves was able to solve the challenges of combining the two apartments in ways that make the rambling 7,500-square-foot space seem completely unified. The couple, who met in graduate school nearly 20 years ago, made things easy by trusting so completely in his vision. Their layout needs were simple: separate, if small, rooms for all the kids in their own “wing”; a guest room on the main floor; and lots of open spaces where the family could gather, but with some separation so they wouldn’t be on top of one another. “They aren’t formal types,” says Groves. “They didn’t want anything to be stiff.” Midway through the project, David took a new job that made decorating the place even more resonant and fun for everyone: He 184 In David’s office, a desk by Room & Board is paired with an Eames chair, covered in a Spinneybeck leather, from Design Within Reach; the shelving unit is a custom design, and the Harry Bertoia sculpture was found at Lost City Arts. For details, see Resources. became CEO of 1stdibs, the global antiques website that is indis- pensable to high-end designers. Formerly a happy naïf in the land of lamps and vintage tables, the guy who wrote the checks suddenly became the perfect focus group for his new position, able to experi- ence the company from the inside out. “I called Russell and asked, ‘Do you know what 1stdibs is?’” David recalls. “And he said ‘Know it? Half the things in your apartment came from there.’” Mastery of metals is Groves’s calling card: He juxtaposes them as boldly as Mario Buatta does chintzes, creating a dialogue among the materials that changes tenor with the light over the course of the day. The entryway, with an atrium created by a grand, mirror-finish stainless steel–and-glass staircase leading up to the private areas on the second floor, is the apartment’s showpiece. Hung from the ceil- ing of the upper landing is a nearly 14-foot-long custom Swarovski chandelier that looks like a crystal rain shower.

    ONASSIS USA AND THE NEW MUSEUM'S NEW INC ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF ONX STUDIO, WITH TWO DOZEN ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS WORKING IN EXTENDED REALITY New York, NY...Onassis USA and the New Museum’s NEW INC are pleased to announce the launch of ONX Studio—the Onassis, NEW INC Extended Reality Studio—with two dozen artists and producers working in extended reality (XR), for a year-long term to develop significant works for the public realm. ONX Studio distinguishes itself as a hybrid space where work is both created and presented. It functions as an accelerator, a subsidized production studio and workspace, and an exhibition gallery located in the Onassis Gallery of Olympic Tower in Midtown Manhattan. Each year the studio space will transform into an extended reality gallery for a month-long showcase featuring ONX artists. The first showcase is planned for later in 2021. ONX is a two-year pilot program and steered by NEW INC’s Cofounder Karen Wong and Director Stephanie Pereira, and the Onassis Foundation’s Head of Digital and Innovation Prodromos Tsiavos. ONX Studio will be in close dialogue with NEW INC (New York City) and Onassis Lab (Athens), the Onassis Foundation’s cross-disciplinary incubator that seeks to support innovation and disruption across disciplines. The three entities will support each other through curated conversations, skill sharing, and collaborative projects with a goal of creating an ecosystem that connects extended reality artists in the US and Europe and beyond. ONX Studio’s first international event will take place on December 18th, “Bodies in Space: Extended Realities in Live Performance,” in which three extended reality artists—Sarah Rothberg, Theo Triantafyllidis, and Lu Yang—will be in conversation with Janet Wong, Associate Artistic Director at New York Live Arts.

But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.

Markovitz Dr. Susan K. Leshnoff, Advisor Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSEUM PROFESSIONS Seton Hall University December 2008 Abstract As American society becomes more diverse, issues of ethnic self· consciousness are increasingly prevalent. This can be witnessed by the national expansion and development of ethnic museums. At least twenty-five museums representing different ethnicities are located in New York City alone. These museums reach out to their own constituency as a celebration of heritage and culture. In an effort to educate others and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their culture, they also reach out to a diverse multi-cultural audience. Following suit, Jewish museums attract a diverse audience representing a variety of religions and ethnicities. Jewish Museums - A Multi-Cultural Destination explores how this audience is reached through exhibition and education initiatives.

[email protected] 917.371.5023 New Museum Announces Winter/Spring 2016 Exhibitions OPENING WINTER 2016 “Anri Sala: Answer Me” February 3–April 10, 2016 Second, Third, and Fourth Floors In February 2016, the New Museum will present a major exhibition of the work of Anri Sala (b. 1974, Tirana, Albania), whose innovative and rigorous work has garnered critical acclaim. Highlighting Sala’s poetic and conceptual approaches to music, sound, and architecture, the exhibition will feature elaborate multichannel audio and video installations that will unfold on three of the Museum’s floors, composing an experience specific to the New Museum. The artist’s video works often depict fragments of everyday life that double as portraits of society, and in his installations, Sala exposes how communication can occur outside the limits of language as well as how sounds can affect our perception of time and space. In recent works, Sala has focused on forms of classical music, and the exhibition at the New Museum will include his striking two-film installation Ravel, Ravel, which debuted in his solo presentation for the French Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. Though Sala has exhibited internationally since the late 1990s, the exhibition at the New Museum will mark his first solo presentation at a NewYork museum. The exhibition is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Artistic Director, Margot Norton, Associate Curator, and Natalie Bell, Assistant Curator.

    2008-2010 Partnerships in Learning17 Joint Study Journal The fantastic and the constructible Guest Editor: Kevin A. Cespedes Smart DOTS + Soft MOBS: NY 2028 Environmental Mobility by Mitchell Joachim, Aurel von Richthofen, Lydia Kallipoliti, Matt Cunningham, Fred James, Maria Aiolova Terreform ONE Smart DOTS is a radical strategy for rethinking the crossroad by “injecting” a system of intelligent environmental elements -“smart dots”- that can spread out from the core to the periphery, reorganizing the streetscape. The design scheme is a critique of the hard boundaries that the automobile inflicts to the function of the streetscape, where people are forced to move around cumbersome barriers and often dangerous metal cars. Our future street is a soft, gradient field: a “pixelated” urban landscape of distributed functions, with no hard borders between different street occupancies. Soft MOBS invokes a new technological and material arrangement for adapting cars to cities in pliable organized movements -“soft mobs,”- while it also suggests the use of softer vehicles where users can be in direct contact with the street. While architects and urban designers mostly take cars as given, and are content to design streets and public spaces around car movement, here we challenge and reverse this well-worn assumption. The design is organized in three phases 2008, 2020 and 2028 respectively. In Phase 2008, we suggest to take minor design interventions as immediate safety measurements against continual conflicts of pedestrians with automobiles. Phase 2020, signals a transition period, where car lanes are narrowed, pedestrian zones are widened, bicycle bollards are introduced with new car technology and gentle congestion.
