Event poster Transparent Mornings: an Evening of Musical Readings and Variations with Chenxin and Stine FREE Fri, Dec 5 at 6:30 PM Accent Sisters 重音瀟 | 89 5th Ave #702, New York, NY 10002 [Union Square] literary / research Doors: 6:30pm | Readings: 7:00pm ​Join award-winning literary translators Chenxin Jiang and Stine An for an evening of bilingual readings, experimental variations, and literary friendship—part book launch, part celebration of how poems, translations, and our relationships to texts evolve over time and through publication! ​Featuring selections from Chenxin’s translation from the Chinese of For now I am sitting here growing transparent by Yau Ching (Zephyr Press), and from Stine’s translation from the Korean of Yoo Heekyung’s Today’s Morning Vocabulary (Zephyr Press), the event explores how translations shift through languages, drafts, mediums, publication, and time. In addition to standard readings of poetry in translation, the evening will feature the following experimental readings in variation: 👯 “Poetry Pairs”: Chenxin and Stine read pairs of poems that reveal unexpected resonances between For now I am sitting here growing transparent by Yau Ching and Today’s Morning Vocabulary by Yoo Heekyung. 🎹 “Variations”: Stine reads multiple versions of a single poem while Chenxin plays several variations on an aria by Bach. ​🎶 “Notes”: The translators share selections from personal essays, translator’s notes, and ephemera to provide a glimpse into the translation process. ​Books will be available for purchase. The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing. ​Meet the Readers ​Chenxin Jiang is a PEN/Heim-winning translator from Italian, German, and Chinese.

Event poster OCTET 15-25 Fri, Dec 5 at 7:00 PM CultureHub [LES] music / sound,sci-fi / rebel tech,performance art A virtuosically surgical multimedia work for amplified string quartet and multi-channel video by Paul Pinto performed by Bergamot Quartet and The Rhythm Method. Commissioned by The Rhythm Method and Bergamot String Quartets, String Quartet No. 3 OCTET continues Paul Pinto’s playful exploration of video and theatrical chamber music. Just shy of an hour, the performance begins with a close-up on a tablescape of string instruments “operated” by four methodical musicians, their eight dexterous hands, and hundreds of pencils. Alternating through moments of Foreman-like precision and virtuosic irreverence, OCTET is a subtle and one-of-a-kind marriage of sonic slowness and visual anticipation. Paul Pinto’s String Quartet No. 4: I PASS’D A CHURCH has become a cornerstone of The Rhythm Method’s repertoire, and was released on New Focus Recordings in 2024.

Event poster EYE / aya (AV Show) $30 Fri, Dec 5 at 8:30 PM Powerhouse Arts: 322 3rd Ave Brooklyn [Gowanus] music / sound EYE of Boredoms returns to NYC for the first time in a decade. aya makes her AV debut. Explosive, immersive, one night only. EYE EYE is a visionary of radical sound and image, best known as the founder of the‬‭ legendary avant-noise group Boredoms. Since the 1980s, his kaleidoscopic output—spanning‬‭ noise, psychedelia, performance art, and visual collage—has shaped Japan’s experimental‬ scene and reverberated globally. From performing with Sonic Youth and Nam June Paik to‬‭ launching a chaotic radio residency on NTS, EYE is an architect of organized disorder. His‬ infamous performances, including driving a bulldozer into a Tokyo venue, are part of‬ underground lore. Still shapeshifting, he continues to push limits of sonic assault and ecstatic‬ form across media and continents.‬ ‍ aya aya is a UK-based composer, producer, and performer whose work blurs soundsystem subcultures with digital disintegration, post-hardcore memory, and avant-pop irreverence. Her critically lauded debut album im hole (Hyperdub) exploded with sonic disruption and lyrical intensity, earning Pitchfork’s Best New Music and reshaping experimental music discourse. In 2025, she follows with hexed!, a continuation of her genre-dismantling alchemy. aya’s commissions span CTM Festival, BBC, and Manchester International Festival, and she co-runs the boundary-pushing label YCO. Her practice channels memory, embodiment, and transfiguration into brutalist sound sculptures that refuse containment. CONTENT NOTE There is no seating for this performance. Accessible accommodations are available upon request. tickets/info

Event poster Idris Robinson's The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World Has to Offer Free Sat, Dec 6 at 5:00 PM Lower Manhattan political action,mutual aid / community,literary / research Please join us on Saturday December 6th at Francis Kite Club for a discussion with Idris Robinson, SÞren Mau, and Gerardo Muñoz, celebrating the release of Idris' book The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World Has to Offer. 5pm at 40 Loisaida Avenue (C and 3rd). From Semiotext(e), "What is it to be Black in America? It is to be constantly given unsolicited advice on how to run your life by people of all stripes, cultures, races, and opinions, so that the message is, by its very design, inconsistent with itself. However, there is one common feature that unites them all, besides their arrogant insistence to respond to what no one has asked of them: you can be sure that not one of these philistines has read—let alone understood—a single line of Plato. It is with this guiding insight that the author seeks to think his own material existence and resolves that philosophy must implicate itself in the utter demise of the alienated and oppressive wasteland in which he has been thrown." Idris Robinson is a philosopher and writer from the New York hinterlands. For over a decade, he has written extensively on crisis, revolt, and political violence. He is currently an assistant professor of philosophy at Texas State University. Book (MIT Press)

Presented together, their works showcase a range of potentials present in gaming as a mass medium–education, entertainment, escape, world building–and through modding and aesthetic interventions, the ability to also hijack meaning.

Event poster Sorry Records with Russell E.L. Butler, Furtive, Nick Boyd Free before 11pm, $10 after Sun, Dec 7 at 10:00 PM Bossa Nova Civic Club, Bushwick music / sound,queer events,late night (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Brooklyn’s own Sorry Records returns to the hallowed halls of Myrtle and Hart for their last Sunday night residency party of the year — a humble evening dedicated to the sounds of “Techno” with stellar guests Russell E.L. Butler (Deep Exposure, T4T LUV NRG) and Philadelphia’s own Furtive (Bounce House, Great Circles) alongside label founder and The Lot Radio resident Nick Boyd. Our guests this Sunday are two people that mean a lot to myself and many others across the musical underground. We are all honestly so lucky to share this time and place with Russell E.L. Butler — an unmeasurable talent and thoughtful champion of this music and the lives of those who make it. Russell is a longtime fixture in the global DIY world with a vast catalog of music released over the last 10+ years that inhabit and expand countless corners of music that we all hold dearly. Take some time alone and throw on Call Me G. — her solo LP for Octo Octa and Eris Drew’s T4T LUV NRG label. Russell makes music that rewards attention and between that record and this year’s monumental self release (G) — she speaks clearly to all who are open to listening. From the contemplative catharsis of her album work to the slammin singles released under her DJ Autopay alias, Russell’s got classics on classics with releases on labels like Ghostly, Tresor, Fixed Rhythms, and Opal Tapes. I’d be remiss to not shout out Deep Exposure — a multi-pronged vehicle for thought and conversation via newsletter and a fantastic talk-based residency show on The Lot Radio where Russell recently hosted Jeff Mills for a beautiful discussion I’d highly recommend checking out. I usually avoid copy and pasting bios but I must admit I love Furtive’s so much I have to include here: “𝘍𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘊 𝘪𝘎 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭-𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘊 𝘀𝘰𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘊𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘊𝘭𝘊𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘊𝘎𝘎 𝘀𝘳𝘊𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘊 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘊𝘳𝘊𝘳, 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘀𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘀𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘊𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘊 𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘊 𝘢𝘎 𝘢 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘊𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘢-𝘣𝘢𝘎𝘊𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘀𝘊𝘳, 𝘋𝘑, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘊𝘳𝘚𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘷𝘊𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘊𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘀𝘊𝘳.

Event poster Fundamental Motions: Recent Titles in Distribution Free Thu, Dec 11 at 7:00 PM Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) 264 Canal St #3W New York, NY, 10013 visual arts Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) presents a selection of works recently added to our distribution catalogue by Michael Bell-Smith and Sara Magenheimer, Zoe Beloff, Michael Smith, and Sophie Breer with David Wojnarowicz. The evening takes its title from Zoe Beloff’s The Infernal Dream (2011), which invokes Frank and Lillian Gilbreth’s time-motion studies aimed at maximizing workplace efficiency. In this program, artists subvert systems of bodily control. Utilizing a range of ubiquitous communication formats including childrens’ television shows, Zoom calls, and industrial films, they highlight the absurdity of bureaucracy and technological optimization. Beloff’s single-channel piece—adapted from the artist’s 2011 installation, The Infernal Dream of Mutt and Jeff—reanimates two midcentury industrial films focused on maximizing productivity in the workplace through the visual language of slapstick, envisioning how metaphysically unruly objects can subvert capitalism's ideal of seamless labor protocols. Bell-Smith and Magenheimer's Acetone Reality (2025) uses computer-generated voices, animations, and found images to present a cascading meditation on the nature of meaning making. Breer’s Waje’s Cockabunnies (1981) showcases Wojnarowicz’s “cock-a-bunnies,” live cockroaches adorned with paper bunny ears and cotton tails, through the instructional format of the classic children’s television show Romper Room. Smith’s Zoom Room (2022) depicts Mike Smith, the artist’s Everyman alter-ego, as he attempts to lead a Zoom meeting with his less-than-enthusiastic staff. An informal conversation with Beloff will follow the screening. Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)’s venue is located at 264 Canal Street, 3W, near several Canal Street subway stations. Our floor is accessible by elevator (63" × 60" car, 31" door) and stairway. Due to the age and other characteristics of the building, our bathrooms are not ADA-accessible, though several such bathrooms are located nearby.

Event poster Condominium $23-33 Mon, Dec 15 at 7:00 PM The Tank Theater in Manhattan, near MSG performance art Something is very wrong at Plainview Tower. A resident spots a crack in the wall, and it keeps growing. Condominium is a darkly funny, high-stakes satire that dives headfirst into the chaos of community politics. Inside a series of increasingly frantic board meetings, neighbors clash over who’s to blame, who should pay, and whether the problem is even real. While they argue, the fissure spreads, threatening not just the building but the fragile sense of trust that holds it together. Sharp, absurd, and eerily familiar, Condominium turns a crumbling high-rise into a perfect metaphor for our collective denial. When the walls begin to break, will we find a way to act together, or keep talking until the ceiling caves in? Buy tickets!

About Red Calendar

Red Calendar is an arts and action calendar that helps NYC gather without big tech middlemen. Managed by a team of editors, the Calendar also encourages cross-pollination among NYC's leftist/arts/culture communities. Anyone can add events for free, pending editor approval!

Red Calendar is big-tech-free—no Meta, no AWS, no GCal. Each day's events reorder when you refresh and each event, when expanded, has its own sharable url. We are called Red Calendar because we wanted a color, and this was the shortest (and cheapest) url we could find that incorporated "calendar" and a color.

This is a labor of love. Countless hours have gone into building/maintaining the site—and none of us are rich kids or make much money. Could you please donate?
