LISBON | Sara Greenberger Rafferty: 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 | On view⁠
⁠
Produced in a small kiln in Sara Greenberger Rafferty’s Brooklyn studio, the glass pieces in our current exhibition at DOCUMENT Libson are color studies, compositions made from scraps, and other studio experiments made during a time of challenge and change. Continuing her work in the opaque, translucent, and reflective medium of glass, these collected pieces can be seen individually as humble sketches—often pieced together from slivers, powders, and shards—or taken together as a statement. 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴.⁠
⁠
The exhibition is now on view through May 23, 2026.⁠

To commemorate the MIT List Center’s 40th anniversary, New York–based artist Gordon Hall presents 1–2 pm, a lecture-performance that explores waiting as both subject and method. ⁠
⁠
Through understated, choreographed gestures, Hall transforms Scott Burton’s 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩 (1985)—a cornerstone of the List Center’s public art collection—into an active participant. In doing so, Hall draws connections between Burton’s philosophy of seating, the architecture of the Wiesner Building, and the embodied politics of pause, delay, and attention.⁠
⁠
1-2 pm was first performed at the Pulitzer in 2024 at Wrightwood 659 in 2025.⁠

OPENING TODAY | 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰 | DOCUMENT × Mrs.

DOCUMENT and Mrs. look forward to welcoming you to the opening of 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰, a collaborative exhibition project featuring works by Natani Notah, John Opera, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Kazuhito Tanaka, and Pedro Vaz, from 5–8pm today, July 11, at Mrs., 60-40 56th Drive, Queens, NY 11378.

𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰

The rocking-with-wind trees
the waltzing-with-moon ocean –
Everything in purposeful motion
like the lifting lark
or the swirls of Saturn

Even the far away stars
explode on
the dance-floor of infinity –
grouping
and regrouping
into new constellations.
O see them under
the shifting disco
of the inter-galactic lights –

The gravitational boys
in their shimmering shirts.
The orbiting girls
in their luminous glad-rags –
within magnetic reach of their rotating handbags.

— Grace Nichols
