The New Museum

He's done a lot of work for magazines.

He just did a feature on the artist Arthur Jafa, who's having a big retrospective at the New Museum in New York.

He did a feature on him for the New York Times.

But I really find this really inventive way that he does portraits, his great use of light, the way that he can get people to relax and at the same time make a very intriguing and almost out of the ordinary photograph or perspective.

Uh, some museums are also op- operating incubators and co-working spaces.

For example, the New York-- uh, the New Museum in New York supports entrepreneurial working act- across art, design, and technology.

So basically, the museum provides workspace, mentoring, and professional development while receiving income from participant fees and gaining access to an innovative professional community.

We can also, in the museum sector, we can also see more ambitious commercial partnerships.

Bowery basically becomes, it's like Third Avenue, and it becomes the Bowery Down.

below Halston Street I think is when it turns into the Bowery so NYU is like at 8th Street and as you're walking further downtown it becomes so now it's actually called the New Museum so I think back like when we wrote this it was the Bowery Museum but it's called the New Museum and they just did a huge extension on it or whatever so it's actually reopening in March go to the New Museum And so that's where they go for their date.

And then Logan realizes, like, he's starving.

And they go for Ethiopian food.

El veredicto polarizó a la comunidad artística neoyorquina.

Muchos se negaron a creer que una artista que se preparaba para su primera exposición individual en el New Museum se hubiera suicidado.

También descartaron que la caída hubiera sido accidental.

Many refused to believe that an artist preparing for her first solo exhibition at the New Museum had committed suicide.

They also ruled out that the fall had been accidental.

Muchos se negaron a creer que una artista que se preparaba para su primera exposición individual en el New Museum se hubiera suicidado.

También descartaron que la caída hubiera sido accidental.

Su familia, amigos y gran parte de la comunidad artística de vanguardia, especialmente la de los latinos e inmigrantes, así como los colectivos feministas, consideraron el fallo como un flagrante error judicial y una muestra de la misoginia imperante en el mundo del arte.

So sometimes we have events, or sometimes we support exhibitions in other places.

We also have a kind of longtime affiliation with the New Museum, where we do many of our events here in New York.

So we have kind of a rhizomatic structure in some ways.

Ah, I see.

I put it somewhere safe, and then I go do my shit.

I'm not doing what Goldie did, doing what Crooked did, doing what MoMA did.

Today's model of creative, particularly in the DJ world, is to do some shit that somebody else did.

Literally.

Victor Olaya is a fellow contemporary, if not mentor.

And she was also managing a guy called Gerald at the time.

Trevor Schumacher was about to do his first museum curation, and that curation was the Black President exhibit at the New Museum in 2001.

So when we started Jumpin' Funk, it was basically an information party.

Well, let's end the podcast on a happier note and talk about something good.

Julianne, you saw a really amazing exhibit at the New Museum this week.

Want to talk about it?

Yes.

So the new museum is opening its new slate of exhibitions while you're listening this on Friday.

And they have the largest U.S. exhibit exhibition to date of Arthur Jafa's work.

Arthur Jafa is a New York artist.

[laughs]

I saw that at the New Museum [laughs] and, like, it's here and it's hung in such a different way.

What is that painting? Describe it for the-

Well, it's George Washington Carver, so it's essentially a replica of Geo- what, or not a replica, but it's an o- Ben, you'll do so, such a better job at describing this.
