  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center Founder and Director Alanna Heiss to Retire on December 31
    P.S.1 CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR ALANNA HEISS TO RETIRE ON DECEMBER 31 New York, December 29, 2008—Alanna Heiss, the founding director of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, who over the course of the last 37 years oversaw the transformation of a turn-of-the-century public school building in Long Island City, Queens, into a space that reflected the originality and independence of hundreds of artists, will retire from P.S.1 on December 31, 2008. An internationally recognized champion of contemporary artists for more than three decades, Ms. Heiss is also hailed as a visionary curator of adventurous exhibitions—more than 800 during her tenure—and as an arts leader whose support has nurtured the careers of young artists and curators around the world. “P.S.1 was founded with a particular mission, which was to allow for the discovery of many different points of view under one roof,” said Ms. Heiss. “Its special gift to those who appreciate art is its ability to mobilize artists both young and old, known and unknown, to explore their dreams and visions. The experiences I’ve had working with great curators and artists have been a tremendous honor.” Glenn D. Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art, which became affiliated with P.S.1 in 2000, said: “Alanna Heiss is a creative and visionary leader whose efforts brought the originality of contemporary artists to a worldwide public and built a landmark center for the visual and performance arts. Literally hundreds of artists from around the world have felt the impact of her tireless efforts over the last 37 years, and that impact will continue to resonate with artists for years to come.” “It has been an incredible experience and honor to have served on the board of P.S.1 with Alanna since the 1970’s,” said Agnes Gund, who in addition to serving on P.S.1’s board is also President Emerita of MoMA.

New paradigms are unsettling and artistic breakthroughs can threaten belief systems people hold dear to their understanding of the art world and how it functions. Some of the most distinguished and iconic artists in modem history have found notoriety and recognition through years, even decades, of slowly evolving acceptance into the cultural mainstream. Once labeled charlatans heralding a clear decline in culture, such eminent artists as Theodore Gericault, Edouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Marcel Duchamp incited public fury and scathing criticism in their respective eras for the ground-breaking work they produced.

U saradnji sa Muzejom savremene umetnosti Vojvodine, na izložbi će, pored dela kolekcije Liroj Niman centra, biti prikazani i radovi umetnika i umetnica iz Severne i Južne Amerike, Azije i Evrope, kao i stvaralaštvo deset umetnika i umetnica iz Srbije mlađe generacije. Autor projekta, Tomas Vu, svedočio je otkrivanju nepoznatog, čitavog drugog, javnosti sasvim nepoznatog, umetničkog stvaranja Liroja Nimana i postavio važno pitanje: koliko još sličnih poduhvata umetnika za koje mislimo da ih poznajemo postoji, i gde zapravo umetnik ide u odsustvu spoljnog pritiska, očekivanja, interpretacija? Vu je imenom projekta Draw obuhvatio višeznačnost pitanja koja se otvaraju pogledom na pronađene crteže Liroja Nimana: uputio je publiku i na crteže iz umetnikovog opusa, ali i na drugo značenje istog glagola: izvlačenje sadržaja iz gomile, aludirajući time na pronalaženje nečeg nepoznatog, skrajnutog, zatrpanog drugim, samo naizgled važnijim delima. Na srpskom jeziku, nazivom izložbe (Pre)crtano, čuva se Vuova ideja: gledaocu je jasno da projekat obuhvata crteže, ali je istovremeno upućen i na zaključak da su crteži koji se nalaze pred njim deo skrivenog umetnikovog života, nešto što je umetnik na neki način precrtao, sklonio, ostavio za neko drugo vreme.

Over 40 visual artists pay tribute to socially conscious music created by recording artists from Chess, Stax, Motown, Philadelphia International and Def Jam Records. The exhibition debuted on June 15, 2013 as an unprecedented collaboration between four Harlem art galleries including: La Maison d’Art, The LeRoy Neiman Art Center, Strivers Gardens Gallery and The Sol Studio. The exhibition was presented in partnership by ArtCrawl Harlem and Souleo Enterprises, LLC, with the latter serving as sole curator of all four galleries. Through the lens of contemporary art, each song is interpreted as a visual statement to tell the story of African-American and the broader American history from the beginning of Chess Records in 1950 to the current era of Def Jam. Artists delve into issues such as racism, poverty, self-identity, gender equality, the prison-industrial complex, war, environmental justice and more, as sang in the songs represented here that collectively created the soundtrack for social, political, economic and spiritual revolution. The exhibition begins with art inspired by the Chess and Stax catalogs.

This thesis project explores the intersection of gender, sound and history through a cultural and historical analysis of female voices in American radio. The analysis includes an examination of the history of silencing women in the public sphere, the on-going conversation surrounding the suitability of female voices for broadcast and
