INDONESIAN TEXTILE ART AT SAPAR GALLERY
Sapar Contemporary Gallery on N. Moore will host the artist Mulyana show, Remembering Our Collective Future, a collection of her intricate costumes and art.

BOOK BY LONGTIME TRIBECAN
Jared Feldschreiber, who grew up in Tribeca, has released an expanded edition of his novella, “Reckless Abandon,” available in paperback, hardcover and kindle at Amazon and the Drama Book Shop on West 39th Street. The book concerns an up-and-coming playwright seeking to assemble his “dream project” involving Bob Dylan, Woody Allen and Dustin Hoffman, and is set in the summer of 1984. The specific historiography and cultural milieu play heavily in shaping the narrative as do the real — and imagined — players the protagonist meets during his journey.
