The Top Seven Happenings in Art, Design, and Beyond “Trisha Brown: In Plain Site” at New York’s Judd Foundation For two evenings, on May 1 and 2, the Judd Foundation in Manhattan's Soho will host a series of performances by dancer Trisha Brown. Taking place at 101 Spring Street— the home and studio where Donald Judd once lived and worked—the events are sponsored by eyewear brand Cutler and Gross, which will also present a curated selection of glasses nearby, at 110 Mercer Street. “Provenance” by Amie Siegel at MAK Vienna On view at MAK Vienna through May 31, “Provenance,” a film installation by Amie Siegel, illuminates the sociology of modernist design through furniture designs by Pierre Jeanneret for Le Corbusier's buildings in Chandigarh, India. Siegel traces the furniture pieces in reverse chronological order, starting in private homes and journeying through warehouses, restorations, auctions, and container ships—all before they arrive from where they originated. Her accompanying piece, “Lot 248,” follows the sale of the “Provenance” film in an art auction, bringing the exploration of social exchange full circle.

Ian Schrager Opens New York Edition Hotel This May, hotelier Ian Schrager—in collaboration with Marriott International—will open the New York Edition hotel in the clocktower building at Madison Square Park. Schrager and his team have decided to create a new kind of hotel in response to what they believe is a new generation of design-savvy travelers who want simple yet elevated experiences. The 273-room hotel comes with 180-degree windows for many of the suites and a 360-degree view from the 1,400- square-foot penthouse. This location will join other Editions worldwide in Miami Beach, London, and Istanbul. Brent Wadden at Mitchell- Innes & Nash Currently on view at the Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery (through May 30) is Canadian- born artist Brent Wadden’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Living and working between Vancouver and Berlin, Wadden specializes in woven paintings with handmade fabric that disrupts normative divisions between folk and fine art, seeking to reinterpret gender roles in the process. “Cyclicscape” at Sean Kelly Gallery Mariko Mori’s new series of paintings and sculptures, “Cyclicscape,” is currently on view at Manhattan's Sean Kelly gallery (through May 2). Taking the form of möbius strip–like renderings, the pieces are joined by eight computer-generated photo-paintings derived from nature drawings of Okinawa Island. Known for creating one of the first 3-D art videos, “Nirvana”—in which she depicted herself as a floating goddess—Mori says the aim of her work is to ask deep questions about the interconnectedness of energy and life.
