ZAZ10TS Gallery presents Fractured, a solo
exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Yuli Aloni
Primor, on view March 26 – June 21, 2026, in
Times Square. Installed in the gallery and
extending into the public sphere through the
ZAZ Corner digital billboard in Times Square,
the exhibition places an intimate visual language
within the accelerated rhythm of public urban
space. The two contexts exist in productive
friction: the private made monumental, the
monumental made vulnerable. The exhibition
extends from gallery space into one of the
world’s most visible urban screens.
The work draws on two traditions of repair—Kintsugi, the Japanese practice in which broken
ceramics are reconstituted with gold so the fracture becomes its most radiant element, and
Tikkun, the Jewish ethical imperative to mend a broken world. Together, they form a politics of
visibility: an insistence that the seam be acknowledged rather than erased.
Working between digital technologies and oil painting, Aloni Primor constructs a feminine
mythology suspended between personal history and cultural narrative, between psychological
interiority and public surface. Identity here is neither stable nor given. It is continually
negotiated, fractured, and rebuilt through the tension between external expectation and inner
experience.
As the artist reflects, “The fracture is not failure. It is where the interior becomes visible—where
the private mythology of a woman presses outward into form.”
Within a city that continues, almost against its own velocity, to insist on gestures of human
presence, Fractured proposes that repair is not restoration. It is transformation, and the
fracture, made visible, becomes the work itself.
Alongside the gallery exhibition, the work will also be programmed on the ZAZ Corner
Billboard as part of the In Between programming from March 26 to April 24, 2026. Displayed in
15-second intervals on a large LED screen at the intersection of 41st Street and 7th Avenue,
the work enters the visual landscape of Times Square, introducing moments of reflection.

examines fracture and repair in shaping feminine mythologies. https://yulialoni.com

On Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 6:30 PM, the incomparable Randy Edelman returns to New York for what promises to be one of the most elegant and emotionally charged evenings of the season — live at the Aman Jazz Club NY.
Set within the refined, intimate atmosphere of the Aman, this is not merely a concert. It is a journey through the melodies that have shaped generations.

Edelman, whose soaring scores and timeless songs have underscored some of cinema’s most beloved films — from The Last of the Mohicans to My Cousin Vinny, Gettysburg, and The Mask — brings his music back to its most personal form: one man, one piano, and a lifetime of stories woven between the notes.
The visual of Edelman seated at the grand piano, bathed in warm stage light, evokes the very heart of his artistry. It is here that themes are reborn — cinematic anthems distilled into intimate expressions. Audiences don’t just hear the music; they feel the decades of passion, discipline, and soul behind every chord.
The March 14th performance promises a curated medley of his iconic film themes, award-winning originals like “21 Again,” and perhaps a few unexpected surprises. For those who have experienced his Carnegie Hall triumphs and sold-out performances, this setting offers something even more rare — closeness. The kind where the piano breathes and the audience listens.

An evening at Aman Jazz Club is about nuance, elegance, and connection. And there is perhaps no composer better suited to that atmosphere than Randy Edelman — a Golden Globe-nominated songwriter whose work bridges Hollywood grandeur with heartfelt vulnerability.
Reservations are essential.
This is not just another date on the calendar.
It is a night where music, memory, and magic meet in one room.

The Cinema Arts Centre is proud to present a very special cinematic and musical evening celebrating one of Hollywood’s most iconic film scores. On Friday, March 13 at 7:30 PM, audiences are invited to a screening of the beloved comedy classic The Mask, followed by a live concert performance starring Golden Globe–nominated composer-musician Randy Edelman.
Best known for his unforgettable music that has shaped generations of filmgoers, Edelman brings his legendary scores from the screen to the stage in an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime performance. Following the screening, he will take audiences on a musical journey through highlights of his celebrated career, performing live and sharing personal stories behind the music.

The Mask, the 1994 film that helped define an era of comedy and pop culture, is inseparable from Edelman’s exuberant, jazz-infused score—music that gave the film its pulse, charm, and unmistakable swagger. Experiencing the film and then hearing its composer perform live creates a rare, immersive celebration of cinema and sound.
This exclusive event takes place at Cinema Arts Centre, located in Huntington, New York, and is designed for film lovers, music fans, and anyone who appreciates the artistry behind the movies they love.
Event Details:
What: Screening of The Mask followed by a live concert

The post RITA HAYWORTH: THE HEAT IS ON! with quartet at The Triad appeared first on Good News!.

Horse is this year’s zodiac (2026), and the 7th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac signs, coming after the Snake and before the Goat. Recent years of the Horse include 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, and 1954, with the next Horse year in 2038 (Year of the Earth Horse). It is associated with the earthly branch sign of wu.

According to Chinese astrology, Horse is confident, agreeable, and responsible, although they also tend to dislike being reined in by others. They’re fit and intelligent, adoring physical and mental exertion; they’re decisive but also easily swayed and impatient.

Chinese Zodiac Years for Horse

The Chinese zodiacs, like many aspects of traditional Chinese culture, are derived from the Chinese lunar calendar, which does not correspond exactly with the Gregorian calendar. You can use our calculator below to quickly find your sign.

For those born in January or February, pay special attention to when the Chinese New Year begins, as your zodiac animal sign may fall in the previous year’s cycle (see the chart below).

Meaning of the Fire Horse in Lunar New Year (2026)

The Lunar New Year of 2026 marks the Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac cycle.

In Chinese astrology:

The Horse symbolizes energy, freedom, speed, and strong spirit.

The Fire element represents passion, intensity, ambition, and leadership.

When combined, the Fire Horse represents:

Powerful drive and determination

Boldness and independence

Charisma and strong personality

Fast-moving change and dynamic energy

A Fire Horse year is often seen as a time of action, transformation, and high motivation. However, because both Horse and Fire are very strong energies, it can also bring impulsiveness or dramatic shifts.

In short, the Lunar New Year Fire Horse symbolizes a year of passion, courage, and powerful forward movement.

Year of the fire horse – explained: the Chinese zodiac sign that’s all about intensity

Lunar new year has ushered in a rare zodiac symbol with a reputation for energy and independence

As the lunar new year begins, the focus has turned to the Chinese zodiac and the arrival of the year of the fire horse – a rare pairing in the 60-year lunar cycle.

Drawing on Chinese metaphysics, the fire horse blends the horse’s reputation for energy and independence with the intensity of the fire element, giving it a distinct place in the zodiac tradition.

---

What is the Chinese zodiac and the five elements?

The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year cycle in which each year is represented by an animal sign: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. With roots in ancient lunar calendar traditions, the system places certain personality traits under various birth years.

Alongside the animals, Chinese astrology incorporates the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. These elements rotate with the zodiac animals, creating a 60-year cycle. Each element is believed to influence one’s traits and destiny.

“The metaphysical theory is that everything on this Earth, including humans, are made up of these five elements and then within these elements, there are yin and yang versions,” the holistic Chinese astrologer Lydia Lee says.

---

How and when does the fire horse occur?

Once every 60 years, the fire horse is created by pairing the horse with the fire element.

The Chinese zodiac system combines 12 animal signs with the 10 heavenly stems, or 10 symbols that represent the five elements, each in yin and yang forms.

As the animal signs and elements rotate together year by year, every zodiac year is assigned an animal and element. A fire horse year is often described as being fast-moving and high-energy. The last fire horse was in 1966, when China’s Cultural Revolution began, a time of political and social upheaval.

---

What are the personality traits of the fire horse?

People born in horse years are forthright, strong in reasoning and alert, says Ming Shao, a Melbourne-based feng shui expert. “They are also eloquent … and known for being impatient, wilful [and] heroic individuals,” he says. Adding fire “intensifies” the horse’s characteristics including dynamism, energy, dedication and leadership, according to Shao.

What is predicted for the fire horse year?

Experts say the fire horse year is widely expected to bring intense, fast-paced change on a personal and global level.

Xiaohuan Zhao, a professor in Chinese studies at the University of Sydney, says “rather than predicting disaster, traditional readings frame the fire horse year as a period where heightened energy needs to be managed wisely”.

“Slowing down before making major decisions, staying grounded, and cultivating emotional steadiness are … key ways to navigate the year’s momentum”, he adds.

Grace Niu, a Sydney-based feng shui consultant, also suggests caution, saying that the fire horse year amplifies every natural trait to an intense degree, resulting in “unstoppable drive [and] immense passion … but like a wildfire, that energy must be directed or it can burn through everything – including themselves”.

Pan Wang, an associate professor of Chinese studies at the University of New South Wales, says that based on historical patterns, the fire horse year is predicted to be a challenging period marked by upheaval. “The fire element can manifest as instability and violence, as well as heated economic development and rapid, sometimes reckless, growth.”

---

Could any industries, zodiac signs or age groups be especially affected?

According to Zhao, industries “connected with movement, heat or rapid change such as technology, finance, transportation, energy and entertainment may feel the fire horse year’s fast and intense pace more strongly”.

In Chinese astrology, the fire horse and those with rat signs are considered a challenging match: the horse’s impulsive, high-energy nature clashes with the rat’s cautious and strategic approach. Other zodiac signs expected to be most affected by the fire horse include the rabbit and the ox.

But not all clashes are bad. For Lee, clashes in energy can bring vital change. “When we experience our lives being stagnant … we actually welcome clashes because it can be transformed into breakthroughs,” she says.

Niu says people entering new life chapters, such as those turning 30, 42, or 60 years old, may find the energy creating a profound rite of passage.

---

What’s the best way to navigate the year?

The key is to stay grounded. Balancing the fire with water-element practices such as slowing down, meditating and hydrating can help, the Sydney-based feng shui expert Mina Zheng says.

Everybody will experience too much fire, she says, adding: “We need to drink a lot more water, more than before, and we also need to cherish water.”

Zheng highlights the balancing power of the earth element to help offset fire. She recommends eating more earthy root vegetables like potatoes and carrots.

Thierry Chow, a Hong Kong-based feng shui expert, suggests wearing certain colours. She says those born in the summer months should “wear more cool tones to help balance out the heavy fire … such as silver, gold, blue and white”.

---

Is the fire horse something to fear?

Definitely do not fear, Pan says. “I think the fire horse is a self-paradoxical year: it can bring extreme success, such as rapid career progression, but it can also be extremely challenging if one burns out or succumbs to anxiety, which may lead to failure. That said, if we harness the fire horse well, there’s nothing to fear. Embrace the challenge and find a balance!”
