Puerto Rican artist Candida Alvarez; How Found Images Inspire Lorna Simpson's 'Source Notes'; New Thriller 'The Doorman'; Maren Morris's 'Dreamsicle'
Puerto Rican artist Candida Alvarez emerged in the New York art scene of the late 1970s, when it was dominated by white men. She talks about her five-decade career, her new gallery show at GRAY, and first large-scale museum survey, "Circle, Point, Hoop,"on view at El Museo del Barrio through Sunday, Aug. 3.
New York-born artist Lorna Simpson began her career as a photographer, but has recently spent her time painting. Her new solo exhibition at the Met is called "Lorna Simpson: Source Notes," which is how she refers to the found images that comprise her more than 30 works on view. The exhibition is open now through November 2.
The new novel The Doorman follows Chicky Diaz, the titular character working at a high end Manhattan building who becomes ensnared in the web of secrets his residents try to keep. Author Chris Pavone discusses his new thriller, published today. Pavone will be speaking on May 20 at McNally Jackson Seaport.
Maren Morris has spent her career bouncing between country and pop. Her latest album Dreamsicle embraces the latter more than her previous LP, without breaking away from her Nashville roots entirely. Morris joins us for a Listening Party.
