We’re all too busy during the week to do all the great things we plan and hope to do. So if you can only commit to one arty event this week, here’s what you should not miss!

THURSDAY, April 23

“A Conversation Between Lil Buck and Keith Haring” at the New Museum 

Aspen Institute Artist in Residence and celebrated street dancer, Lil Buck, explores Keith Haring’s influence on his own artistic form through a dance performance at the New Museum. Haring’s art and words have greatly inspired Lil Buck’s movements, who began “jookin'” at a young age. The performance will be followed by a discussion between Lil Buck, Julia Gruen (Keith Haring Foundation executive director), and Damian Woetzel (Aspen Institute Arts Program director).

Co-presented by the New Museum and the Aspen Institute Arts Program, this event coincides with the 25th anniversary of Haring’s death in 1990. The program, workshopped at Haring’s former studio, was initially created for the closing weekend of the exhibition “Keith Haring: The Political Line” at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in February.

Lil Buck (see Check Out Flexing the New Urban Avant-Garde Dance Craze Mixing Art, Sport, Fashion) formally studied dance at the New Ballet Ensemble before moving to Los Angeles in 2009. He was catapulted to fame when Damian Woetzel enlisted him to perform a rendition of “The Swan” with Yo-Yo Ma in Los Angeles. The performance, captured on video, went viral and paved the way for future collaborations with the likes of Janelle Monae, JR, and Madonna.

Tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for members.

The New Museum, 235 Bowery, 6:30 PM.
