Hi, I’m a fifth year mathematics graduate student and I am looking for a new roommate in a two bedroom apartment from August 31st through April 31st (lease can be renewed after April 31 and it is stabilized rent!) . The apartment is located in East Harlem and is a 10 minute walk from the 4,5, and 6 trains. Rent is $1,116 a month, plus utilities.

It is a cozy, well lit apartment with two spacious bedrooms.  It is by first avenue, near East Harlem Plaza (there is a Costco, Target, Planet Fitness, etc!). It is on the second floor of the building, and it was renovated recently so it has a new kitchen and bathroom. The neighborhood is very vibrant and homie, and there are a bunch of new restaurants in the area! It is a five minute walk from the GC housing.

For more info and pictures, please email me at llopezcruz@gradcenter.cuny.edu.

Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce that Issue 10 of SHIFT: Graduate Journal of Visual and Material Culture is now live!

SHIFT Graduate Journal of Visual and Material Culture

Issue 10: In the Seam[shiftjournal.org]

co-edited by Elizabeth Lee and Andrea Nitsche-Krupp

with Kaylee P. Alexander, Rachel Boate, Jane Boyes, Kristina Molin Cherneski, Ariana Panbechi and Jonah Marrs

Issue 10 of SHIFT, an institutionally mobile peer-reviewed graduate journal currently hosted by the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, brings together articles that address an array of objects and eras: the sonic interventions of a tape recorder, a socially critical fin de siècle self-portrait, the Paisley patterns of a cotton shawl, the gold-accented ceramics of a Persian interior, and a little traffic light man who outlived the Iron Curtain. The home page features an original project and artwork by Jonah Marrs, and can be visited at https://shiftjournal.org/[shiftjournal.org]
