| | | | | | Last chance to see Summer 2013 exhibitions, closing this Sunday! Also, enjoy two family-friendly activities related to the Summer 2013 exhibitions this Sunday! Sundays are always free at the Studio Museum, thanks to Target! 1pm: Gallery Tour: Body LanguageEnjoy an interactive and informative tour of Body Language, led by a knowledgeable museum educator. Body Language explores the body and written or verbal expression. Comprised mostly of works from the Studio Museum's permanent collection, the exhibition shows how artists use language to evoke relationships to bodies, including those of viewers, using the human form to communicate ideas much as words might. RSVP here. 2pm: Hands On: Signs and LanguageSpeech and sound is not the only way to express one's self. In this Target Free Sunday art workshop, we will see how we can use our bodies to get the message across. We will construct signs with no words. RSVP here. | |  | Coming up at The Studio Museum in Harlem at The Einstein Auditorium, Barney Building, NYU: 34 Stuyvesant Street, New York, NY 10003 In this conversation, Radical Presence artist Lyle Ashton Harris and Thomas J.
