The Invisible Dog Art Center and Books Are Magic are thrilled to welcome Sheila Heti and her latest book Alphabetical Diaries and conversation with Lillian Fishman.

Over a ten-year period, Heti kept a record of her thoughts, which she then alphabetized by sentence in an Excel spreadsheet. She spent the next ten years cutting (500,000 words down to 60,000) and refining, always maintaining the alphabetical order even as she conjured rhythm and beauty out of a decade’s worth of text. The result is sentences selected so that each one sings with those that precede and follow it, demanding to be read together despite our awareness that they may have been written months, even years, apart. As one letter of the alphabet gives way to the next, core preoccupations – sex and settling down, money and the lack thereof, working and writing – emerge, and narratives of love affairs and friendships, of growing up and making art, take shape. The diaries are funny and wrenching and frequently both at the same time. They are an irresistible, insoluble puzzle, keeping the brain in constant motion. One individual’s intimate archive – the author’s exercise in self-knowledge – they are also a way for us, as readers, to know ourselves.

Wassaic Project Holiday Party for Artists and Lovers is back for a second year at The Invisible Dog.

The Invisible Dog is thrilled to welcome the NY Grand Tea Ceremony 2023 for a series of tea ceremonies and talks.

How much do you know about matcha? Matcha originated in China about 1000 years ago, traveled to Japan, and has reached popularity worldwide today - especially right here in New York City. Chanoyu 茶の湯 is the ritual preparation of matcha which is rooted in Zen Buddhist philosophy and seeks to unify nature, objects, and people within a once-in-a-lifetime moment. As the interest in matcha spreads, the number of chanoyu enthusiasts also increases.

Chanoyu Week NYC 2023 brings together chanoyu practitioners in the New York area for this special occasion at The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn to share our own unique way of tea. Please enjoy our heartfelt tea in the beautiful garden setting.

The Anthropologists' axes, herbs and satchels offers midwifery as a gift to humanity and doulas as resistance.

The Invisible Dog Art Center is thrilled to invite you to reveal of Roxanne Revon’s outdoor installation and celebrate the final day of Camille de Galbert’s Growing Matter.

Wander is an invitation to observe the growth of underground plant organisms as well as our memories. The ground constellation of glowing root patterns guides us through the artist's personal melange of real and imaginary dear places (from Tunisia to Provence to Brooklyn) forming nomadic routes of dreams and memories.
As microbiologist Lynn Margulis stated in the gaia hypothesis: “the sum of all life on the planet behaves as a single integrated physiological system. The traditionally viewed 'inert environment' is highly active, forming an integral part of the Gaian system.” Revon adds her memories to this integrated system, forming hypnotic patterns that remind us of the strength, interconnectivity and cross vibrations of all life on earth.
