Hispanic Society: Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society
Exhibition Title: Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society
Location: Hispanic Society Museum & Library
Dates: February 23 – June 30, 2024
The Hispanic Society Museum & Library inaugurates Arte en el Alto Manhattan with Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society featuring three Dominican-born co-curators exhibiting works created in artistic dialog with HSM&L’s collection based on their individual aesthetic approaches as well as their unique perspective as Dominican immigrants in New York. The works showcased express the complicated transnational and intercultural identity, which these artists share with over 2 million Dominican-Americans in the United States, approximately half of whom reside in the NYC Metropolitan area, particularly in the museum’s home neighborhood of Washington Heights.
Co-curators: Reynaldo García Pantaleón, Chiqui Mendoza, & Rider Ureña
Music on the Brain: Defying Expectations
Expectations, patterns, and novelty shape the learning and storage of long-term memories by the hippocampus. Similarly, when improvising, jazz musicians navigate between setting up expectations and defying them with creative spontaneity. When musicians play jazz standards, they generally begin with tried and true patterns with variations. Great music emerges when they defy these patterns. By shattering expectations through innovative reinterpretations, they create something profoundly new and distinct.
Join multi-instrumentalist jazz musician, composer, and educator T.K. Blue, pianist James Austin, and Zuckerman Institute PhD student and NSF Fellow Abhishek Shah for a jazz concert and dialogue exploring the fascinating parallels between neuroscience and jazz improvisation.
Music on the Brain is a collaboration between the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute with the support of Jazz Foundation of America.
