Author Dan Chiasson explores the political rise of Sen. Bernie Sanders in his latest book, “Bernie for Burlington: The Rise of the People’s Politician.” A book launch will take place at Pioneer Works in Red Hook on Thursday, Feb. 19, in collaboration with the New York Review of Books.

Sanders, a Brooklyn native, is known as a progressive leader and one of the first Democratic Socialists to make it to Congress. Sanders grew up in Flatbush, and in a New York Times profile of the senator, Sanders’ brother Larry described him as “100% Brooklyn.”

Chiasson will be joined by Jamaica Kincaid in a conversation moderated by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, and the Bread and Puppet Theater will provide music and special performances. The event starts at 7 p.m.

Markets are no longer reacting primarily to earnings and rates.

Global investor surveys report geopolitical conflict and policy swings now rank above recessions as the biggest threats to portfolios.

That means higher risk premiums across equities, bonds, and FX. In plain English: you may be taking more risk for less upside.

So what have sophisticated investors done differently for decades?

They diversify with assets that are priced globally and historically appreciate independently of traditional markets.

One typically exclusive to the ultra wealthy? Postwar and contemporary art.

It’s shown low correlation to stocks, global demand, and resilience during political shocks.*

And now it’s easy to fractionally invest in multimillion dollar art featuring Banksy, Basquiat and more, thanks to Masterworks.

Investors have seen net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% across 26 exits.

Pioneer Works, which was privately bought but now operates as a nonprofit, hosts “Second Sundays” once a month. The gallery opens its space to the public for free, allowing visitors to explore the historic building, talk to artists-in-residence in their open studios, engage with exhibitions, and take part in hands-on activities.

Second Sundays is an unusually interactive way of engaging with a cultural institution, reflecting founder Dustin Yellin’s hopes of creating a “museum of process,” or as Pioneer Works’ Director of Publishing Joshua Jelly-Schapiro described, “a place where the process of making art and doing science and engaging ideas are transparent and open.”

At the most recent “Second Sundays,” artist Chico MacMurtrie activated his “Border Crossing” sculpture, curator Jeppe Ugelvig gave a tour of “The Endless Garment” and resident artists welcomed visitors. Two interactive activities took place, led by artists: a fabric repurposing workshop and a fungi drawing and observation activity.
