HOT HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN IN APRIL
by Francis Lewis
New York in the 1980s was a nonstop party, and photographer Tseng
Kwong Chi (1950-1990) was on the guest list, snapping away at kindred
spirits like Andy Warhol (below). | Tseng Kwong Chi: Performing for the Camera, Grey Art Gallery,
New York University, 100 Washington Square East, 212.998.6780, Apr. 21-Jul. 11

Nouveau Cirque
In the postmodern circus world
of Montreal’s Les 7 Doigts de
la Main, there are no lions,
elephants, tigers or clowns in
baggy pants. A big top? No.
Glitz and glam? Hardly. This is
circus stripped and refined to
its essence. Performers wear
workout gear, not sequins and
feathers. And what a workout
they get. Multitasking artists,
like Maxim Laurin and Alexandra
Royer in Séquence 8 (below), the
company’s latest offering, are
as adept as dancers as they are
as acrobats and masters of the
aerial hoop. | Séquence 8 by
Les 7 Doigts de la Main, New
York City Center, 131 W. 55th
St., 212.581.1212, Apr. 16-26
Art Bazaar
Today’s emerging and midcareer artists can be tomorrow’s superstars, and that’s a
fact enthusiastically endorsed by the tens of thousands of art lovers, connoisseurs,
collectors and galleries who flock annually to the Hudson River shoreline for Artexpo
New York (above). There are thousands of original contemporary works from around
the world—paintings, drawings, prints, lithographs, sculptures, ceramics, photographs,
art glass and more—on display and up for sale. Past exhibitors at the show, which has
been a fine-art fixture on New York’s spring calender for 35-plus years, have included
such major American players as Robert Indiana, Peter Max, Keith Haring, LeRoy
Neiman, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. | Artexpo New York, Pier 94, 711
12th Ave., artexponewyork.com, Apr. 23-26
Two’s Company
Individually, Herbie Hancock (right)
and Chick Corea are known—
revered might be a better word—as
virtuosos on the electric keyboard.
Together, in 1978, the jazz innovators
and longtime friends defied
expectations, went old school and
successfully toured the world as
an acoustic piano duo. It’s taken 37
years for history to repeat itself, but
their grand pianos are once again
side by side on stages from Sydney
and Seoul to Lisbon and New York.
