    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three

    OMAHA DINER 2014 BIOGRAPHY OMAHA DINER is many things: the world's definitive virtuoso of the seven-string guitar, the pioneer of saxophonics, a recipient of the 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship for composition, and a Grammy nominee. Omaha Diner is at home in all situations in and beyond the world of music - not only scoring one of the films of legendary director Robert Altman, but performing in another one as well. In its 125 years of experience the Diner has worked in some capacity with an unlikely and astonishing array of artists: Aretha Franklin, Sting, John Mayer, Levon Helm, John Adams, Roswell Rudd, Linda Ronstadt, Pearl Jam, Elton John, My Morning Jacket, Courtney Love, The San Francisco Ballet, Sam Rivers, Marianne Faithfull, The Moscow Circus, Roger Waters, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Michael Tilson-Thomas, R.E.M., Johnny Copeland, Bonnie Raitt, Lukas Foss, The Meters, Ween, D'Angelo, Les Claypool, Alvin Ailey, Digable Planets, Sonny Sharrock, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Tom Waits. Omaha Diner has toured every continent with the (possible) exception of Antarctica, playing rock arenas, iconic Jazz clubs, Carnegie Hall, and hardscrabble Kentucky roadhouses. The Diner turns up in other places as well - author of the liner notes to Miles Davis' 'In Concert' record, actor on Saturday Night Live, dancer, sous-chef, teacher. The Diner is also: "A relentless genius." "A speaker in visionary tongues." "The genuine article of complete originality." "A perpetual music-making machine." "Seattle's only true rock star." "Mind-boggling." OMAHA DINER: deconstructing popular music since 2012.

The technology of sampling and the broad availability of ethnic instruments turned world-music into a sort of commodity. Generally speaking, the studio became the real center of the new "high-tech" world- music. Georgia's Macha (1) penned the mostly improvised Macha (1998) and the quasi-symphonic See It Another Way (1999); while New York's Badawi, Raz Mesinai's project, fused traditional Middle-Eastern instruments, simple reggae figures and syncopated drumming at a deeper level on Jerusalem Under Fire (1997). Tuatara (1), a supergroup made of REM's Peter Buck, Screaming Trees' drummer Barrett Martin, Luna's bassist Justin Harwood and jazz saxophonist Skerik (Nalgas Sin Carne), indulged in studio magic on the all-instrumental Breaking The Ethers (1997). Michigan's Fibreforms (1) performed instrumental world-music a` la Penguin Cafe Orchestra on Treedrums (1996), but based on the haunting sound of the African bounkam. They changed their name to Kiln (1) and repeated the exploit with Holo (1998).

As Music Editor for the Voice, he had come up with the Consumer Guide format back in 1969. His original format was twenty records, each accorded a single-paragraph review ending with a letter grade. His domain was rock and roll, but his taste and interests ranged widely, so his CGs regularly featured country, blues, folk, reggae, jazz, and later world (especially African), hip-hop, and electronica. Aside from two years off working for Newsday (when his Consumer Guide was published monthly in Creem), the Voice published his columns more-or-less monthly up to 2006, when new owners purged most of the Senior Editors. Since then he's continued writing in the format for a series of Webzines -- MSN Music, Medium,
