Exhibition: “Artistic Encounters with Indigenous America” at Metropolitan Museum of Art
This exhibition traces the history of Indigenous North Americans as depicted in European and American art through more than 40 works drawn from the Met’s holdings. The show will attempt to express how these often-fraught images helped perpetuate stereotypes and aided in disadvantaging Native peoples. To complement the works on view, the Met invited the artist Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke/Crow) to create wall text.
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

Screening: “Andy Warhol at Judson” at Museum of Modern Art
In conjunction with MoMA’s exhibition devoted to Judson Dance Theater, this program will focus on the ways in which experimental dance impacted Andy Warhol’s life and work (itself the subject of a retrospective on view at the Whitney). The Pop artist often attended Judson Dance Theater concerts, and it was at one such event that he met dancer Fred Herko, who would later become his muse. MoMA will show screenings of a selection of films made by Warhol, including newly digitized reels of Herko, a film titled Jill And Freddy Dancing (1963), and screen tests with Judson members including choreographer Lucinda Childs and lighting designer Billy Linich.
Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53rd Street, 7:30 p.m. Tickets $15

Performance: Moriah Evans at the Kitchen
Configure, a new piece by choreographer Moriah Evans, is part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of what she has called “intimate movement.” Evans has said that the work—which she will perform with dancers Lizzie Feidelson, Nicole Mannarino, Lydia Okrent, and João dos Santos Martins—is “a visceral interrogation of what it means to be or to have a body today.” Live music by Ka Baird will figure in the performance.
The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street, 8 p.m. Tickets $25

Screening: Harun Farocki at Film Society of Lincoln Center
As part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s retrospective of Christian Petzold, whose new movie Transit is soon to be released, this program will present two documentaries by one of the director’s biggest influences: the late German experimental filmmaker Haring Farocki. In his essayistic films, Farocki often uses dark, dry humor to examine corporate culture. His 1997 film The Interview focuses on German job application courses, while 2004’s Nothing Ventured trains its eye on venture capitalism.
Film Society of Lincoln Center, 165 West 65th, 6:30 p.m. Tickets $12/15
