Mathew Dear & Ryan Elliott DJ'ing at the Guggenheim (Flavorpill)A New Face for the Guggenheim
Many of New York's most famous arts organizations have chosen new directors over the past year including the Guggenheim Museum, who named Lisa Dennison as its director and chief curator last fall. She joins us to talk about issues related to the future of this organization, about its curatorial mission, and its musical offerings, which include a Friday DJ series and the Works & Process concert series. Also: a visit with Northern State, a 20-something all-girl rap trio from Long Island whose sound is a mix of Beastie Boys-style rap and postfeminist attitude. Finally, composer Andrew Ford shares his piece "Scenes from Bruegel," which gets its inspiration from three paintings by the 16th-century Flemish master Pieter Bruegel, and which will be premiered by the New Juilliard Ensemble on April 24.
