The Yerres, Rain, Gustave Caillebotte, 1875

Yesterday I visited the exhibit, Everywhen: The Eternal Present in Indigenous Art from Australia at the Harvard Art Museum. It was an incredibly moving experience. The exhibit was designed around these major ideas, transformations, seasonality, performance, and remembrance. The included in the exhibition was a combination of at traditional indigenous Australian art and culture and reactionary contemporary indigenous artwork. 

The exhibition was very charged and powerful. You could feel the emotion, importance in each artwork. This was by far one of the best exhibitions I’ve been to in a while, I definitely recommend visiting it if you are in the area.

A NASA Engineer Turned Artist Whose Canvas Is a Huge Fish Tank

New York-based artist Kim Keever uses huge fish tanks (minus the fish) then drops in various colors of paint then photographs the resulting reactions.

Speaking of the process behind it, Keever says: “It took me about two years of imagining what it would look like to totally simplify my working process. When I finally tried just dropping paint into water and photographing the results through a 200 gallon aquarium wall, to my amazement, the paint dispersed in so many interesting ways. (…) Even after 20,000 shots I can’t predict which will be completely successful and only a fraction are printed. But I have accepted the lack of control and embrace the randomness.”

Anything for Jazz: A Jaki Byard Documentary

Jaki Byard was a phenomenon. He had a complete knowledge of the history of jazz piano and could play all of it within the course of single tune. His imagination was limitless (check out his haunting, dirge-like reading of Mingus’s Fables Of Faubus) and his contributions to the music of Charles Mingus, Booker Ervin, Eric Dolphy, Sam Rivers and others is breathtaking. This 1980 documentary by Dan Algrant is a 22-minute gem. Once in the early ‘80s. while I was recording Jaki at a defunct Greenwich Village club, I was asking him what a ‘Boston’ was because I’d read a Herbie Nichols review of Monk in the ‘40s where he mentions this rhythm. Two hours later as I walked by the piano, Jaki who was in the middle of a solo breaks into another rhythm, looks up at me and says, “That’s a Boston!”
