LISBON | Sara Greenberger Rafferty: ๐˜—๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด | On viewโ 
โ 
Produced in a small kiln in Sara Greenberger Raffertyโ€™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 sketchesโ€”often pieced together from slivers, powders, and shardsโ€”or taken together as a statement. ๐˜—๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด.โ 
โ 
The exhibition is now on view through May 23, 2026.โ

To commemorate the MIT List Centerโ€™s 40th anniversary, New Yorkโ€“based artist Gordon Hall presents 1โ€“2 pm, a lecture-performance that explores waiting as both subject and method. โ 
โ 
Through understated, choreographed gestures, Hall transforms Scott Burtonโ€™s ๐˜Ž๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ (1985)โ€”a cornerstone of the List Centerโ€™s public art collectionโ€”into an active participant. In doing so, Hall draws connections between Burtonโ€™s philosophy of seating, the architecture of the Wiesner Building, and the embodied politics of pause, delay, and attention.โ 
โ 
1-2 pm was first performed at the Pulitzer in 2024 at Wrightwood 659 in 2025.โ
