10 Pieces of Art in NYC You Should See, Maria Mijares at the Montclair Art Museum, A Single Dad's Story, Daniel Dae Kim in David Henry Hwang's 'Yellowface'

In honor of WNYC's 100th birthday, All Of It is celebrating 100 pieces of art in New York City. Each month we'll speak with a tastemaker in the arts world about their favorites. Our October segment features Hyperallergic co-founder and editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian who shares 10 pieces he thinks all New Yorkers should see.

 

This week, we're spotlighting local New Jersey artists who are showing work at the Montclair Art Museum as part of the 2024 New Jersey Arts Annual show now on view through January 5. We start with Maria Mijares, who discusses her piece in the show, "4 Fashion Girls" and her work in public spaces around the Garden State.

 

Author Charles Bock didn't have being a father on his list of high priorities. But when his wife dies of cancer, leaving him a single father to a three-year-old daughter, he realizes it's time to step up. He recounts his experience with single fatherhood in the new memoir, I Will Do Better: A Father’s Memoir of Heartbreak, Parenting, and Love. We discuss with Bock, and take calls from our listeners, as part of our series Mental Health Mondays.

 

Daniel Dae Kim stars in David Henry Hwang's farcical play "Yellowface," about an Asian American playwright who mistakenly casts a white actor in an Asian role in his own production. Kim and Hwang join us to discuss the production, which runs through November 24.
