Presenting Ruthie Rogers & Sarah Jessica Parker
In Conversation With Gayle King
Wednesday, March 18 | 6:30 PM | JCC Dance Hall
Free and Open to the Public
RSVP: community@slcjcc.org
Ruthie Rogers – celebrated owner and co-founder of London’s legendary River Café – joins us with friend and fervent food lover Sarah Jessica Parker to talk about her new book Table 4 at The River Café: Conversations about Food and Life, inspired by Rogers’ acclaimed podcast, Ruthie’s Table 4.
Conceived 40 years ago as a casual spot for people to gather and talk over food and wine, The River Café grew to become a beloved home for a dazzling array of artists, writers, actors, filmmakers, politicians, and more. Rogers’ customers became Rogers’ friends, blooming into a social network including Francis Ford Coppola, Tina Fey, Ralph Fiennes, Paul McCartney, Gwyneth Paltrow, David Beckham, Martha Stewart, and many others who – like Parker – have now been guests on her podcast for conversations centered around food, life, and art. Hear Rogers and Parker dig into those conversations with warmth and heart, revealing what these and other luminaries cook and what they crave, what was on the menu for family dinners, first dates, and more, all grounded in Rogers’ belief that talking about food unlocks stories, memories, and emotions like little else. Pull up a seat at the table.
Marc Maron in Conversation
With Jim Gaffigan: Panicked
Watch Now
Description
Join legendary comedian and podcaster Marc Maron for a conversation with fellow comedian Jim Gaffigan about his HBO comedy special, Panicked, ahead of its August 1 debut.
Filmed in front of a live audience at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Marc Maron’s new special pushes him into hilarious, fearless, uncharted territory. Exploring aging, anxiety, love, and the superiority of having cats over children, Panicked is also startlingly candid — Maron opens up about his relationship with his father as the elder Maron struggles with dementia. Hilarious and heartfelt, it is Maron’s most introspective work to date. “I feel that this is the best work I’ve done,” Maron says. “Everything came together.”
Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy in Conversation With David Rubenstein:
Life, Law & Liberty
Watch Now
Description
Over three decades on the US Supreme Court, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy shaped the law of the land on some of the most fiercely debated issues of our time. One of the most consequential jurists in modern history, his landmark opinions legalized gay marriage, protected political speech, abolished the death penalty for minors, and, in a nuanced ruling, upheld a woman’s right to choose. As the pivotal vote in closely divided cases, Kennedy earned the moniker “The Decider,” yet he has always insisted that his decisions were guided not by politics but by the Constitution’s enduring principles of justice and liberty.
Join us for the launch of Life, Law & Liberty, Kennedy’s memoir, to be released two days after this conversation. Offering insight into his life, work, and beliefs, the book traces his journey from a precocious child growing up in Sacramento to a Reagan appointee confirmed unanimously by the Senate, to a justice whose rulings often defied expectations. In his book, Kennedy reflects on the role of a judge, the independence of the judiciary, and the qualities of civility, decency, and ethics that are essential in public life.
On this special evening, Justice Kennedy will be in conversation with David Rubenstein to discuss the moments that define his career, the principles that guided his most important decisions, and the personal experiences — both challenging and inspiring — that shaped his view of the law. It is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the Court’s most influential voices at this historic moment.
Nicole Wittenberg in Conversation
With Jarrett Earnest
Watch Now
Description
Join Nicole Wittenberg and Jarrett Earnest in conversation on the dynamics of image-making in painting and film.
Can we trace the root visual language of cinema back to painting? Nicole Wittenberg’s creative evolution has hinged on this question, and her singular body of work is the result. In conversation with writer and curator Jarrett Earnest, Wittenberg explores how cinema has shaped her painter’s eye — from the harvest scenes of Polanski’s Tess and the dreamlike reveries of Tarkovsky’s Solaris to Pasolini’s painterly La Ricotta. Drawing on influences like Breugel, Millet, and Pontormo, Wittenberg traces the dialogue between film and painting — how light becomes sensation, how a picture can make you feel the air around it, and how art captures what flickers between perception and emotion — to thrilling new terrain.
This year, Wittenberg’s work has been everywhere — in celebrated shows in Maine and Paris, earning praise for its “unabashed beauty.” Her work takes familiar subjects — flowers, skies, bodies, light — and renders them so immediate and charged that they feel newly discovered. She paints what can’t quite be seen: the shimmer of air, the temperature of color, the moment before something turns into memory.
Inspired by an interview between Wittenberg and Earnest for the artist’s first comprehensive monograph, published this summer by Monacelli Press, join us for a conversation coinciding with Nicole Wittenberg: All the Way, a solo exhibition featuring new and recent paintings at Acquavella Gallery in New York, on view now.
