Jean-Philippe Allard, jazz producer and musicians' advocate, dies at 67
NEW YORK, NY.- Jean-Philippe Allard, a French record executive and producer who helped revive the careers of jazz greats who had been all but forgotten in the United States, and who earned a reputation for uncommonly fierce advocacy on behalf of musicians, died May 17 in Paris. He was 67. Music producer Brian Bacchus, a close friend and frequent collaborator, said Allard died in a hospital from cancer, which had returned after a long remission. Artists ranging from Abbey Lincoln to Juliette Gréco to Kenny Barron said they had never worked with a more musician-friendly producer. Regarding my work, I would always consider it as co-producing with the artist, Allard told music journalist Willard Jenkins in an interview in March. Some producers are musicians or arrangers, like Teo Maceo or Larry Klein; others are engineers; some ... More

Hawkins holds a doctorate in American Studies from the University of Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo) with ... More
Daylight to publish 'The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City' by Barton Lewis
NEW YORK, NY.- Since 2018, filmmaker and photographer Barton Lewis has photographed urban surfaces altered and transformed by humans, weather, or time on New York City's streets and subways. The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City (Daylight Books, Summer, 2024) is a rich collection of images that demonstrates art is everywhere, and for everyone. Lewis's subjects are graffiti, torn advertising posters, stickers, paint, the texture of decay, the contributions of anonymous artists, rips, rain, and sun all combining in color, shape, and meaning. Abstraction and layers expand content and invite metaphor and interpretation from the viewer, and in this way, Lewis is highlighting the collaborative creativity present in everyday life and interactions. The book is divided into two parts, On the Street, and Wall Cuts. On the Street includes ... More
In 'Clipped,' Cleopatra Coleman spreads her wings
NEW YORK, NY.- Cleopatra Coleman began with red, swirling it toward pink with a fine-tipped brush. An oval appeared on the paper, and then smaller marks joined it ears, eyebrows, a line for a nose. I always draw this woman, Coleman said. I dont know why. This was on a bright May morning and Coleman, a star of the FX limited series Clipped, which premiered Tuesday on Hulu, was at Happy Medium, an art cafe around the corner from her temporary apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She had passed it on walks with her dog, George, a rescue Yorkiepoo, and had often felt jealous of the customers there at night, on dates. So this morning, on a day off from filming a new series, Black Rabbit, she had taken herself on a date. She had even dressed for the occasion, in a thrift-store T-shirt with a New York State Summer School ... More
'What's the point?' Oona Doherty's resonant ambivalence
NEW YORK, NY.- Despite the enormous impact that the pandemic had on dance, few works have emerged that capture the experience. Plenty of pieces have been shaped by isolation and social-distancing rules, but not many have made something of the emotions of lockdown. Oona Dohertys Navy Blue, from 2022, is one, and the feelings it effectively expresses are those of the lucky: dread, helplessness, guilt. At the start of Navy Blue, which had its New York premiere at the Joyce Theater on Tuesday, a dozen dancers are lined up, dressed in mandarin-collared workers suits, their heads shaking so fast that their faces blur. Mostly they move in loose unison: sinking, crouching, clumping; stumbling, circling, fleeing with nowhere to go. Although the music is Rachmaninoff, big and romantic, the dancers shrink from large gestures, ... More

The Frye Art Museum opens a major survey of photographs, video, and large-scale installations by Stephanie Syjuco
SEATTLE, WA.- The Frye Art Museum is presenting Stephanie Syjuco: After/Images, a major survey of photographs, video, and large-scale installations that examine how the camera records and constructs American histories. The exhibition takes its name from Syjucos 2021 series of photogravures, which in turn reference poet Audre Lordes concept of afterimages as images that linger in the minds eye, inflicting residual harm long after our initial exposure to them. A centerpiece of the exhibition is the 35-foot-long wall collage Tender, Sifter, Keeper, Center (2024), commissioned by the Frye and created by the artist from research conducted at the Filipino American National Historical Society, located in Seattle.

Obama marks milestone in construction of presidential center
CHICAGO, IL.- As construction projects go, Barack Obamas presidential center has not been the speediest or the simplest. Far from it. But on Monday, 3,317 days after Obama announced plans to put the facility in Chicago, the former president was in town to celebrate the long-awaited structure reaching its full height, rising 225 feet above the citys South Side. If all goes according to plan, the center will open to the public in 2026. When we started this thing, I wasnt sure it was ever going to get done, Obama said jokingly before using a black marker to sign a beam that will be installed at the center, where work on the buildings interior wall-framing and plumbing has started. Many Chicagoans celebrated in 2015 when Obama announced that the center would be built in their city, where he worked as a community organizer and won election to the Illinois General Assembly and U.S. Senate. ...
