Item Description

Jason Moran, acknowledged jazz piano master, composer, and the Artistic Director for Jazz at the Kennedy Center, has his first solo museum show coming to the Whitney museum on September 20, 2019. The show runs until January 2020.

Jason and his wife Alicia – also a multi-dimensional artist performing and composing between the genres of Opera, Art, Theater, and Jazz – will take a group of up to 8 on a private tour of the show.  If you just saw Jason and Alicia perform Two Wings: The Music of Black America in Migration at Carnegie Hall last month, then you already know the power of this duo.

JASON MORAN presents the range of work Jason has explored, from his own sculptures and drawings to collaborations with visual artists to performances. Among the many artists with whom he has collaborated are Joan Jonas, Kara Walker, Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon, Stan Douglas, Carrie Mae Weems, Adam Pendleton, Theaster Gates, Julie Mehretu, Ryan Trecartin, and Lizzie Fitch. Originating in Minneapolis at the Walker Art Center in the spring of 2018, the show has traveled to the ICA Boston and will next be seen at the Wexner Center in Columbus, OH before its final stop at the Whitney. This grand finale to the touring show in his hometown of New York will feature many performances by renowned jazz musicians and new live adaptations of works made with his most significant artistic collaborators.
