Mindy Solomon Gallery

March 7-April 18

• Jack Kabangu: I Have No Body, I Am Somebody

Featuring a series of portraits rendered in his iconic, self-taught style, Kabangu introduces a dynamic and psychologically charged visual language. His figures — elongated, introspective, and subtly fragmented — exist in spaces that feel both intimate and unsettled, mirroring the layered nature of identity and displacement.'

• Sydnie Jimenez: Stars in Your Eyes

The exhibition title, Stars in Your Eyes, serves as a linguistic pivot. It evokes the shimmering energy of passion and ambition while simultaneously nodding to the disorienting sensation of "seeing stars” — the dazed confusion that often follows a blow to the senses. For Jimenez, the eyes are not merely anatomical; they are the "windows to the soul" and the primary vessels for our perception of the universe.

• Natalia Arbelaez and Daniela Gomez Paz: Cuerpos cósmicos, between the earth and the skies / entre los cielos y la tierra

In this exhibition, themes of death, spirituality, and the cosmos intertwine with reflections on the physical body and its intimate relationship to the earth. Through distinct yet complementary practices, Arbelaez and Gomez Paz explore how histories — both personal and collective — are embedded in material, gesture, and form.

MUSIC  

Denève + Hadelich: The Hollywood Sound

New World Symphony 

7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 14; 2 p.m., Sunday, March 15

 Augustin Hadelich is one of the greatest violinists of our time. He makes a triumphant return to New World Symphony with his first public performance of Erich Korngold’s Violin Concerto, a towering work that draws from Viennese romanticism and the elegant film scores Korngold wrote in the 30s and 40s.  Max Steiner's 1933 score for King Kong earned him the moniker “The Father of Film Music,” launching a career that would include 3 Academy Awards and 20 nominations. Hear New World Symphony capture the danger, romance and heartbreak of King Kong with an opening theme that still thrills nearly a century after Steiner first made movie magic.  

Cost: $75- $170
