Doors at 7, event starts at 7:30 Admission $18 e-flux is pleased to present a collaborative screening and live performance by Jeff Preiss and Anthony McCall . The evening opens with the premiere of Beckoning Cats (2025), a new film by Preiss created specifically for this occasion, and continues with a reimagined performance that revisits a collaborative work originally presented during the final exhibition at the experimental gallery Orchard in 2008. The program features the eighth iteration of Anthony McCall’s Five Minute Drawing , first performed in 1974. McCall’s precisely choreographed live drawing unfolds alongside Preiss’s real-time documentary projection—an orchestration of filmed gestures and reworked imagery drawn from their earlier collaboration at Orchard. Together, the artists construct a layered temporal structure in which past and present are superimposed, expanding the documentary mode into a poetics of re-staging. The performance also draws upon the screen and sequence configurations from Preiss’s 2002 collaboration with Joan Jonas, Montage Vérité , originally curated by Karin Schneider for TRANS>area. The program also marks the premiere of Preiss’s Beckoning Cats , a ten-minute 16mm-to-digital work made in homage to Chris Marker. The film reflects on an anonymous shrine discovered outside Light Industry in Brooklyn on August 26, 2016—twenty-eight days after Marker’s death—featuring twenty Maneki-Neko figurines, a recurring motif in Marker’s oeuvre. Preiss uses these folklore icons as a visual foundation, moving from their mechanical gestures of welcome into a meditation on aviation, cinema, and apocalyptic time ruptures. Jeff Preiss is a filmmaker, cinematographer, and visual artist active since the 1980s. A founding member of the experimental gallery Orchard and former co-director of Films Charas, Preiss’s work spans narrative and experimental cinema, with films preserved by Anthology Film Archives and the Andy Warhol Foundation. His projects have been shown internationally at venues including MoMA and the Stedelijk Museum, and have involved collaborations with artists such as Joan Jonas, Andrea Fraser, Josiah McElheny, and Anthony McCall. He was Director of Photography for Bruce Weber’s Let’s Get Lost (1989), and his 2014 feature Low Down won the Sundance Cinematography Award. Preiss is currently on the board of Light Industry and in pre-production on a joint US/German/Polish feature. Anthony McCall is a New York-based artist known for his iconic “solid light” works, which occupy a space between sculpture, cinema, and drawing. Emerging from the avant-garde film scene of the 1970s, his seminal film Line Describing a Cone (1973) established a foundational approach to expanded cinema. McCall’s practice engages with architectural space, duration, and audience perception, often using haze, projection, and minimal geometry to create immersive environments. His work has been exhibited widely at institutions including Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, Hamburger Bahnhof, and MoMA. In addition to his solo practice, McCall has collaborated with artists such as Jeff Preiss and David Grubbs, extending his inquiry into performance and spatial drawing. This program is curated by Sanna Almajedi , Performance Curator at e-flux, and Lukas Brasiskis , Film & Video Curator at e-flux. For more information, please contact program [​at​] e-flux.com .

A deeply researched, lively, and personal exploration of the multibillion-dollar wellness industry -- about why women are feeling so un-well and how this trend has shaped our thinking about health and self-care. Peloton. Pilates. Biohacking. Colonics. Ashwagandha. Today, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion behemoth that touches us all. In this timely and clear-eyed book, journalist Amy Larocca peels back the layers behind the wellness movement and reckons with its promises and profits. How did we get here and how did the idea of wellness become integrated with women's lives? And how did we end up spending so much money on products that may not work at all? Amy Larocca takes readers into the communities that swear by their activated charcoal toothpaste and green juice enemas, explaining what each of these practices really is—and what the science says. Larocca holds a magnifying glass to alternative medicine and nouveau lifestyle prescriptions -- and tries a lot herself along the way -- ultimately delivering an assessment of how the wellness industry embodies our (gendered, class-based, racialized) perceptions of care and self-improvement, and how it preys on our unshakable fear of the unknown. She traces the history of how the beauty and fashion industries have peddled snake oil to women for decades—and why we keep coming back for more. A clear-eyed and honest portrait of the weird world of wellness, How to Be Well lays bare the ways in which the simple notion of caring for oneself has become a seriously big business. Amy Larocca is an award-winning American journalist. She spent 20 years working at New York magazine as both Fashion Director and Editor at Large. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times , Vogue , Town & Country and the London Review of Books , among others. She lives with her family in New York and North London. Ana Gasteyer was recently seen on Broadway in “Once Upon a Mattress” alongside Sutton Foster and Michael Urie. The musical transferred to Los Angeles where Gasteyer continued to receive rave reviews for her performance as “Queen Aggravain”. Previously, Ana led Justin Spitzer’s NBC show AMERICAN AUTO and was featured in the second season of Apple TV+ LOOT. On the big screen, Gasteyer can be seen in films such as MEAN GIRLS, ROBOT & FRANK, WHAT WOMEN WANT, THE WOMEN, DICK, Hulu’s HAPPIEST SEASON and WINE COUNTRY for Netflix.

Continuing our tradition of alliterative season opening events—from Burgers, Bourbon, & Beethoven to Hot Dogs, Hooch, & Handel —this year's Cocktails, Comestibles, & Callas centers around one of opera's most legendary divas: Maria Callas. Recently portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the Netflix film Maria , we bypass the Hollywood glitz and glam and go straight to the heart of what made La Divina the very definition of "prima donna assoluta—the power, emotion, and wrenching beauty of the human voice. This three-part event begins with a sunset serenade by swing jazz band, The Grand Street Stompers , as audience members wander the Cemetery and sample cocktails courtesy of the amazing folks at Via Carota, complimentary snacks, and for-purchase offerings by various local food vendors. Then, as twilight settles in, we'll engage in a Callas lookalike contest hosted by drag artist Creatine Price , where audience members vote on their favorites. And finally, we'll close the night with a performance of Callas's most beloved arias, sung by artists from The Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Program and Laffont Competition. Come join us as we honor one of the greatest artists in Operatic history, with a one of a kind, one night only celebration worthy of La Callas herself.

Pat-a-cake, gimme cake cake cake! Welcome to the Asylum! Here the lines of morality blur and blend. Is anything impossible? Where is the boundary of the self?

And if we can’t escape, can we transform? The Leg is an ensemble-based physical theatre performance that uses Butoh, Bouffon and Puppetry to explore the links between spirituality, pain, pleasure and politics. Drawing from the writings of Foucault and Preciado, this devised hybrid movement piece combines laughter and danger to explore the idea that we are all political fiction alive.
