Opening today: Roberto Lugo’s “Alfarero del Barrio (Village Potter)” at Madison Square Park.

This landmark commission foregrounds the struggles, triumphs, resilience, and creativity of Puerto Rican communities, elevating lived histories through forms traditionally associated with power and prestige.⁠
⁠
The exhibition features a twenty-foot-high urn with vignettes of Puerto Rican luminaries, reimagining the tradition of ceramics at an unprecedented scale, alongside a fifteen-foot-high fire hydrant that transforms a familiar urban emblem into a vessel of cultural memory.⁠
⁠
With this presentation, Lugo joins the ranks of internationally celebrated artists who have exhibited in the park, marking a major milestone in his career while further underscoring the growing dialogue between design, craft, and contemporary art.⁠ @randcompanynyc
⁠
Open to all at 5 PM today.

Before there was R & Company, @zestym and @evansnyderman were part of The B Team, an experimental performance collective that challenged the limits of glass. The group transformed the material into a tool for live performance, existing somewhere between craft, fine art, installation, and action. In many ways, The B Team became the foundation for what R & Company is today. The spirit of experimentation, risk, collaboration, and human connection that shaped those performances still lives at the core of everything we do.⁠
⁠
For the first time in over two decades, the B Team will reunite for a new performance at the Corning Museum of Glass during the Glass Art Society conference. One act centers around a “Fear Jar.” Audience members are invited to write down a fear, which will then be burned inside a hot glass vessel and sealed within it—transforming something private and heavy into something shared, physical, and ultimately released.⁠
⁠
At a moment when so many people are carrying uncertainty and fear about the world around us, this performance is about acknowledging those feelings and letting them go. If you can’t attend in person, you can still participate by anonymously submitting a fear through the link in bio.⁠
