In Nick van Woert: Terra Amata, an exhibition of new works, Brooklyn-based sculptor Nick van Woert borrows icons from the past, referencing the ideals of former generations, and overlaps them with more familiar contemporary materials.
The work illustrates a chronology of forms and ideas encompassing everything from classical sculpture, the Donner Party, and Henry David Thoreau, to Ted Kaczynski, Pruitt-Igoe, and 6221 Osage Avenue. The exhibition's title refers to an archaeological site in the South of France where it is believed fire was first used domestically.
This event is part of Fiction & Non-Fiction, one of Crossing the Line 2011's three curatorial program perspectives.

Bonjour tout le monde,
Last Dinner at Veranda was amazing that's why we are repeating the experience next Thursday at 7:00PM for dinner and drinks Hookah and more.
We are expecting many Francophones and Francophiles that evening. Let's converse in French over some great food.
If you prefer to skip the dinner feel free to join us for drinks. The main goal is getting together and speaking French.
Veranda:
Restaurant by day and lounge by night. Veranda is in a world of its own. Exposed brick walls, outdoor tables, and a glass facade greet you on a modern Mediterranean dining experience.
The lounge, with its candle lit atmosphere, hookahs on order, and international beats is the perfect place for an intimate drink.
For those feeling more ambitious, Veranda spins contemporary house, hip-hop and rock all night long in its main dining room. Surrounded by dim, sexy lighting and packed with a European crowd the party looks straight out of the Mediterranean.
How to get there:
Tak
Yvonne Constant will be at the Metropolitan Room in New York
