Kanha, an Indian Adept, Tibet - Metal Sculpture (Rubin Museum of Art)The Final Frontier
One of the founding fathers of Minimalism, Terry Riley joins host John Schaefer today in advance of the New York premiere this weekend of “Sun Rings,” an evening-long work inspired by sounds discovered in deep space, and featuring 40-foot projections of NASA photographs of deep-space imagery. Along with an ambitious visual component, performers will include the Kronos Quartet and the 70-voice Dessoff Choirs. Also opening this weekend is the Rubin Museum of Art, which will display art from the Himalayas and surrounding regions. Located steps away from the bustling Chelsea art district in the space that once housed Barneys, the museum will feature five floors of galleries, a library and an auditorium for live performances. We get a preview today from museum curator Tim McHenry.
