The photographers will sign copies of God’s Country\, a bound set of six visual guides to parishes that form the corner borders of Louisiana: Caddo\, East and West Carroll\, Washington\, Cameron\, the Felicianas\, and Plaquemines. Publication of this work was made possible with funding from the Platforms Grant / The Andy Warhol Foundation. \nABOUT HANNAH CHALEW\n\nHannah Chalew is an artist raised and currently working in New Orleans. She received her BA from Brandeis University in 2009 and her MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2016. Chalew has exhibited widely around New Orleans and the nation. Her work is in the collections of the City of New Orleans and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and published in two creative atlases by writer and activist Rebecca Solnit\, Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas\, co-authored with Rebecca Snedeker\, and Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas\, co-authored with Joshua Jelly-Schapiro. In 2018\, she was an emerging artist-in-residence at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans.

Traversing these regions helped develop a fundamental sensitivity towards urban development\, southern landscape and black spatial justice. During her years at Tougaloo College where she majored in Sociology and double minored in Social Work and Fine Art\, she began to examine the spatial dynamics of black history and how these histories where connected geographically. Over the next 10 years\, Dyson traveled to Africa and South and Central America to strategize with communities of color on ways to attain resource equality. During this time she earned her Bachelors in Fine Arts in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University and her Masters in Fine Arts in Painting from Yale School of Art. In 2016 Dyson designed and built Studio South Zero (SSZ) a solar-powered mobile studio where the context of nomadicity became the framework for learning and making art about the environment. It was traveling with SSZ that inspired her experimental project The Wynter-Wells Drawing School for Environmental Liberation where she explores contemporary theorizations of space\, architecture and the infrastructure of extraction economies. \n\nABOUT FREE FERAL\nfree is a multi-disciplinary artist whose songwriting explores psychic landscapes thru blues and folk traditions using cello\, viola\, guitar\, vocals & loops.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table \n5:30 – 8:30 pm | Music by Shawn Williams Band \n6:30 pm | Arts & Letters Series: Nathaniel Rich discusses Losing Earth\, joined in conversation with Mark Davis\, founding director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy of Tulane University and former director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. A book signing will follow in the Museum Shop.\n▶ READ AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR \nABOUT SHAWN WILLIAMS BAND\nNew Orleans’ pioneering voice in “alt-rock countrybilly serial-killer blues\,” Shawn Williams describes her sound as that “of a dirtier-minded Elvis deciding to get it on in the back of some roadhouse saloon with one of those sad-eyed cowboy types that would rather be drinking alone.” \nHer debut album Shadow (2017) is a skillfully-mastered collection of originals that moves seamlessly from old-school R&B-inflected rockers to softer\, wistful numbers. On recording as in live performance\, she conveys a sense of rawness\, a depth of feeling\, and a lack of pretension that set her apart from the rest of the city’s pool of talented up-and-coming musicians. Aside from her own music\, she is also the founder of the all-female Elvis tribute band\, Pelvis Breastlies. \nABOUT NATHANIEL RICH\nBy 1979\, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change―including how to stop it. Over the next decade\, a handful of scientists\, politicians\, and strategists\, led by two unlikely heroes\, risked their careers in a desperate\, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. In Losing Earth\, Rich chronicles their story\, and ours. \nThe New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade\, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon―the subject of news coverage\, editorials\, and conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age\, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight. Now expanded into book form\, Losing Earth tells the human story of climate change in even richer\, more intimate terms. It reveals\, in previously unreported detail\, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The book carries the story into the present day\, wrestling with the long shadow of our past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past\, our future\, and ourselves. Like John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth\, Losing Earth is the rarest of achievements: a riveting work of dramatic history that articulates a moral framework for understanding how we got here\, and how we must go forward. \nRich is a writer-at-large for the New York Times Magazine; his essays on literature appear regularly in the Atlantic\, Harper’s\, and the New York Review of Books. His reported pieces have appeared in various anthologies\, including the Best American Nonrequired Reading and the Best American Science and Nature Writing. He is the author of three novels: King Zeno (2018); Odds Against Tomorrow (2013); and The Mayor’s Tongue (Riverhead\, 2008). \nABOUT MARK DAVIS\nA widely consulted and quoted authority on water law and management\, Mark Davis joined Tulane Law School in 2007 as a senior research fellow and founding director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy. In 2017 he also became the director of Tulane’s ByWater Institute which is focused the interdisciplinary aspects of water stewardship and community resilience.  He lectures widely on water resource management\, is directly involved in helping Louisiana overhaul its long-term water planning and has testified frequently before Congress on the need for a focused and effective commitment to the viability of coastal Louisiana and other vital natural treasures.\nDavis spent 14 years as executive director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana\, where he helped shape programs and policies at the state and federal level to improve the stewardship of the wetlands and waters of coastal Louisiana. He has practiced law in Indianapolis\, the District of Columbia and Chicago and has taught at the Indiana University (Indianapolis) School of Business and the IIT-Chicago Kent School of Law in Chicago. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is presented by The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate and supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Catherine Bent is a Berklee College of Music professor who found herself in Brazil\, with no Portuguese to speak of available to her\, but she quickly was embraced by the choro community in Rio de Janeiro.

All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table \n5:30 – 8:30 pm | Music by Keith Burnstein \n7 – 8:30 pm | Screening of Bauhaus Spirit: 100 Years of Bauhaus \nABOUT KEITH BURNSTEIN\nKeith Burnstein is a New Orleans based singer-songwriter\, pianist\, and film composer who pens timeless tunes to live by. His is a new American songbook\, one that draws as much from Tin Pan Alley as it does from modern geniuses like Jeff Tweedy\, Dr. John\, and Amon Tobin. “The songs\, while instantly familiar\, remain very much their own creations” writes Secret Sound Shop\,  “combining the bedroom intimacy of a singer-songwriter” (Seven Days VT) with the rich harmonic palette of jazz\, contemporary classical\, and world music. \nABOUT BAUHAUS SPIRIT: 100 YEARS OF BAUHAUS\nIn conjunction with the exhibition An Ideal Unity: The Bauhaus & Beyond\, NOMA will screen Bauhaus Spirit: 100 Years of Bauhaus. This lively\, wide-ranging documentary explores the history\, present and future of the utopian design and architecture school and communal social movement around the world. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius\, Bauhaus was supposed to unite sculpture\, painting\, design and architecture into a single combined constructive discipline. It is a synthesis of liberated imagination and stringent structure; cross-medial concepts that embellish and enrich our existence\, illumination and clarity\, order and playfulness. Bauhaus constituted one of the most significant contributions to everyday 20th-century culture and influential contemporary designs\, but Bauhaus was never just an artistic experiment. Confronted with the social conditions of that particular time\, as well as the experience of the First World War\, the movement concerned itself with the political and social connotations of design from the very outset. \nWatch the trailer: \n \n  \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The renowned New Orleans-based design firm has issued a book showcasing the work of its lead designer and architect known for creating spaces that balance historic detail and modern elegance. \n▶ READ AN INTERVIEW WITH LEDBETTER IN NOMA MAGAZINE \nThe work of architect and interior designer Lee Ledbetter represents a one-of-a-kind combination of traditional details and chic Modernism. Ledbetter established his practice in New Orleans in 1996 and has developed a body of work that emerges from his ability to incorporate historical precedent as well as regional and environmental context\, and his firm has received recognition for its expertise well beyond its Deep South roots. Ledbetter’s interiors and architecture combine a cleanly tailored and bright modernity with the unapologetic embellishments of refined and luxurious decoration. Ledbetter strongly believes design to be a fine art along with painting and sculpture\, and he considers placement and scale of furniture\, artwork\, and lighting as carefully as he does the creation of walls and the spaces they contain. As Mayer Rus\, who provides the text for this title\, once wrote in House & Garden\, “Lee Ledbetter rejects the idea that a serious architect cannot be a dedicated decorator as well.” \n\nA book signing in the Museum Shop will follow the lecture. \n\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 pm | Gallery Talk with Curator Katie Pfohl on Bodies of Knowledge\n6:30 pm | Artist lecture with Wilmer Wilson\n7:30 pm | Activation of Brève braises with artist Manon Bellet and musician Justin Peake\n\nABOUT WILMER WILSON\nWilmer Wilson IV is among the eleven international artists represented in Bodies of Knowledge. In his 2012 film Black Mask\, shown on continuous loop in the exhibition\, Wilson slowly obscures his face with black Post-it notes\, asking us to consider the paradoxical ways in which black bodies are both hyper-visible and at the same time erased from dominant histories and narratives. At the end of the video\, the artist peels off all of the sticky notes\, save one\, envisioning how we might make more visible bodies that are often marked by absence. The video is placed into conversation with book publications that document the artist’s self-designed Running Tour performances. Created as a subtle parody of a tourist guidebook\, Wilson snaps photographs without halting his stride along routes that include well-known sightseeing spots as well as indistinct\, ostensibly unremarkable locations. Filled with blurred\, disorienting images\, these books make tangible the tension between traditional forms of historic preservation and the lived experience of contemporary cities. Taken together\, Black Maskand Wilson’s running tours present the body not as a vehicle for self-portraiture\, but rather as a social site able to adapt to and shape the environment it inhabits\, imagining how we might reconfigure the collective spaces\, histories\, and experiences of places such as New Orleans. \nABOUT BRÉVE BRAISES\nIn the installation Brève braises\, artist Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper on the walls of the gallery in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and instruments as their movement and vibrations activate the installation. \nMusician Justin Peake will participate in this activation. He is a New Orleans-based drummer\, composer\,  technologist\, visual artist\, researcher\, and educator. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

He will prepare beef goulash. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes on Friday nights through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT WOMEN WITHOUT MEN\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, NOMA will screen movies by Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. Women Without Men profiles the lives of four women living in Tehran in 1953\, during the American-backed coup that returned the Shah of Iran to power. The film was called “visually transfixing” by a New York Times reviewer.  Two of the film’s recurrent images are of a long dirt road extending to the horizon on which the characters walk\, and a river that suggests\, “a deep current of feminine resilience below an impassive exterior.” Women Without Men is set in the streets of Iranian capital\, which are teeming with protesters objecting to the overthrow of the prime minister\, but four disparate women have more immediate concerns. Farrokhlagha’s (Arita Shahrzad) husband thinks he’s entitled to be married to multiple women. Munis (Shabnam Toloui) is a virtual slave to her brother. Faezeh (Pegah Ferydoni) has physical and emotional troubles. And Zarin (Orsolya Tóth) is an unwilling prostitute. Boldly\, the women pursue solutions to the problems foisted upon them. (2009 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 39 minutes | Watch the trailer) \nABOUT LUCHO\nLouisiana-born songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Lucho is trying to redefine the role of a producer. Hailing from New Orleans\, Lucho began writing songs at an early age. Spending a majority of his teen years playing\, experimenting\, and refining his songwriting/production in various bands\, he focused his energy into creating unique sounds for other artists. In the summer of 2010 together with his siblings and guitarist Adrian Frye\, he independently released The Bit Parts EP with the indie-pop outfit Youth Sounds. The band achieved some success off the strength of its lead single “What is it like?” following it up with the Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow EP. In 2012 he connected with DRC rapper Alec Lomami\, producing three out of four songs on his debut Mélancolie Joyeuse EP. This established a unique artistic relationship with Lomami\, it also lead to Lucho becoming the creative director of Lomami’s and rapper Well$ independent label Immaculate Taste. His latest project\, a mix of Andean folkloric and electronic dance music\, has challenged him to dig into his South American roots and explore lush sonic territories\, allowing him the freedom to redefine his cultural and artistic self-expression. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n\n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Keiko and Mateo\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Knut Mjelde in Café NOMA\n6:30 pm: Artist’s Perspective Gallery Talk with Wafaa Bilal\n\n\n\nABOUT KEIKO AND MATEO\nThe duo of Keiko and Mateo will present a musical journey through Japan\, France\, Jamaica and Cuba … with a hint of New Orleans’s spirit. Keiko is a pianist from Japan and has lived in New Orleans since 2006\, performing with George Porter Jr.\, Johnny Vidacovich\, Zigaboo Modeliste\, Russell Batiste\, and many other artists of the funk/blues/jazz fusion scene. Mateo is a tenor saxophonist and vocalist from France whorecently moved to New Orleans from Barcelona. He has performed Afro-Latin jazz\, traditional Cuban and world music. Keiko and Mateo met as members of the international touring band Playing For Change and have been traveling around the world together since 2016. \nABOUT WAFAA BILAL\nDuring the invasion of Iraq in 2003\, the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad lost their entire library due to looters who set fire to the collection. More than 70\,000 books were destroyed. Over thirteen years later\, few books remain for the students to read and study. In 168:01\, Iraqi-American artist Wafaa Bilal presents an austere white library that is both a monument to the staggering cultural losses endured throughout Iraq’s history\, and a platform for its potential rebirth. Comprised of a series of white shelves filled with blank tomes\, Bilal’s library doubles as a system of exchange that connects museum visitors directly to Iraq. Aimed at restoring the library’s lost archives\, 168:01 positions viewers as potential donors whose contributions fund educational texts from a reading list compiled by faculty members at the University of Baghdad. As book donations accrue\, the bookshelf becomes saturated with knowledge and filled with color as the white library is slowly replaced with books from this faculty wish list. In exchange for their contribution\, donors receive the blank tomes. At the end of the exhibition\, all donated books are to be shipped to the College of Fine Arts\, to help begin the process of rebuilding. \nAlso on view are images from Bilal’s The Ashes Series\, photographs of a set of miniature handmade replicas of environments destroyed during the Iraq War. Each of these three-dimensional models references a specific journalistic photograph of war-torn Iraq that was circulated in newspapers\, magazines\, and on the internet in the wake of conflict. \nImage credit: Wafaa Bilal\, The Ashes Series: Piano\, 2003–2013\, Archival inkjet photograph\, 40 x 50 in.\, Image courtesy of the artist © Wafaa Bilal \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF KNUT MJELDE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm withKnut Mjelde\, Ralph’s on the Park sous chef.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. Be among the first to explore NOMA’s major summer exhibition\, Bodies of Knowledge. \nNOTE: NOMA will briefly close at 4:30 pm in preparation for the dance performance that begins on the front steps of the museum at 5 pm. Following the first act\, visitors may follow the performers into the Great Hall. \n\n5 pm: Black Magic Dance Performance (visitors should assemble at NOMA’s front entrance)\n5:30 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Safar series featuring music by Mahmoud Chouki with Amigos do Samba\n6 – 7 pm: Artist Perspective Talks: Adriana Corral (6 pm)\, Manon Bellet (6:30 pm)\, and Garrett Bradley (7 pm)\n\nABOUT BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE\nBodies of Knowledge brings together eleven international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. Working with materials that range from books and silent film to ink\, ashes and musical scores\, ten artists propose language as a living and ever-evolving mode of communication that can counter more staid and static ways of representing our collective pasts. The following represented artists will discuss their work: \nIn her spare and often ephemeral installations\, Adriana Corral makes use of subtle materials like ash\, soil\, and burned paper to acknowledge histories of political violence throughout Central and South America. Memento is a site-specific installation that addresses the 2003 homicide of eight young girls in Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, as well as the widespread phenomenon of enforced “disappearances” of women throughout the region. \nIn her site-specific installation Brèves Braises\, Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper on the walls of the museum. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and instruments as the move through and activate the installation. \nGarrett Bradley’s multi-channel video installation America reimagines a lost history of African-American silent film. Bradley\, a filmmaker and artist based in New Orleans\, takes as her starting place a 2013 survey conducted by the Library of Congress—which states that 70 percent of American silent films made between 1912 and 1929 have gone missing—to propose that there was an entire body of cinema made by and for African American audiences\, artists\, and filmmakers\, created and since lost. \nABOUT BLACK MAGIC DANCE PERFORMANCE\nFor Bodies of Knowledge\, artistic director Edward Spots and choreographer Donna Crump will develop a new site-specific dance performance at NOMA\, titled Black Magic\, that unfolds in five distinct dance movements: Black Suffering\, Black Anger\, Black Beauty\, Black Love\, and Black Joy. This work will explore varying aspects of black cultural identity through dance and the body. Investigating a range of topics from suffering\, to beauty\, to joy\, this original work will depict joy as a form of resistance to dominant depictions of the black experience\, and consider what is often forgotten and omitted from prevalent representations of black life. This work will be performed by Spots\, Crump\, and twelve youth dancers from Dancing Grounds\, a New Orleans-based nonprofit organization that builds community through dance with programs that work at the intersection of arts\, education\, and social justice. \nNOMA visitors should assemble outside the museum’s front entrance at 5 pm. The dance performance will begin outdoors and the audience will follow the dancers into the Great Hall. \nABOUT MAHMOUD CHOUKI AND AMIGOS DO SAMBA\nIn the first of series of musical collaborations under the collective title Safar—which means “to travel” in Arabic—Mahmoud Chouki will collaborate with Amigos de Samba. This series of site-specific performances for Bodies of Knowledge explore how music can speak across cultural divides to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West. \nChouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the southern United States. \nThe Amigos specialize in samba traditionally played around a table with a variety of Brazilian percussion and string instruments. Their mission is to bring the “Roda de Samba\,” well-known in Brazil\, to New Orleans. The group is formed by a mix of Brazilian and US natives\, including Ezra Spira-Cohen\, Felipe Leite\, Leo Oliveira\, Nicolas Bell\, Scott Myers\, and Tedo Oliveira. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8 pm | Music by the Susanne Ortner Trio\n6 pm | Gallery Talk with Curatorial Fellow Brian Piper on You Are Here: A Brief History of Photography and Place\n6:30 pm | Gallery Talk with Curatorial Fellow Allison Young on Keith Sonnier: Until Today\n\nABOUT THE SUSANNE ORTNER TRIO\nClarinetist/saxaphonist Susanne Ortner will join guitarist Nahum Zdybel and bass player James Singleton for a performance titled “Last Stop Sehnsucht\,” featuring acoustic music from disparate traditions. Driven by an “addictive yearning” for deep connection\, this stellar trio explores often overlooked twentieth-century repertoire from disparate traditions in an inside/outside kind of way – and with great sensitivity\, communication\, and fire. \nFor Susanne Ortner\, a desire to find the similar in the different has lead to an exploration of a myriad of musical traditions\, as well as collaborations and international concert tours with numerous musicians — mostly in the intimate duo or trio format — such as Belgian Gypsy icon Tcha Limberger\, accordionist/pianist Alan Bern\, multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano\, pianist Tom Roberts and many others. She was the founder of the German klezmer quartet Sing Your Soul\, and collaborates with American klezmer and jazz musicians\, mostly in the intimate duo and trio format. \nNahum Thelonious Zdybel is a New Orleans-based guitarist\, improviser\, and composer who restlessly shifts roles between innovative explorer of improvised music\, creative indie rock sideman\, and ardent revivalist of early jazz styles and repertoire. Attracted to musical settings that are intimate and sincere\, Nahum deploys a playful\, hyper-sensitive approach to re-imagine material from disparate musical traditions as baffling combustions of spontaneity and subtle cleverness. Correspondingly at home amongst jazz tunes\, free improvisations\, original works\, and early twentieth-century American music\, Nahum is an inventive musician who regards with equal fondness and irreverence his relationship with early jazz\, hardcore punk\, and unstructured improvisation. \nComposer/Double bassist/bandleader James Singleton has been ubiquitous on the New Orleans music scene for more than forty years. He has performed\, toured\, and recorded in many styles from the earliest New Orleans traditions to R&B\, blues\, and all imagined types of jazz to punk rock and the avant-garde. The New Orleans traditions he most adheres to are invention\, making it new\, and making it deep. \nABOUT YOU ARE HERE: A BRIEF HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PLACE\nYou Are Here: A Brief History of Photography and Place both embraces and challenges the photograph’s role as a faithful record of place\, examining photography’s successes and failures in rendering\, and sharing\, fragments of the world. Drawn almost exclusively from NOMA’s permanent collection\, the exhibition traces a history of photography from the origins of the medium to the present. Throughout\, You Are Here explores photographs of place\, photographs in place\, and photographs about place\, in the hopes of leading us to think more deeply about how photography mediates our experience of the world and other people in it. \nABOUT KEITH SONNIER: UNTIL TODAY\nNow in its final days\, closing Sunday\, June 2\, NOMA hosts the first comprehensive museum survey for Keith Sonnier\, a pioneering figure in conceptual\, post-minimal\, video and performance art of the late 1960s. Born in Grand Mamou\, Louisiana\, in 1941\, Sonnier was one of the first artists to incorporate light into sculpture: an innovation that forms the foundation of his subsequent work. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

What is past is prologue. As Frishman writes on his website\, “Segregation is as much current events as it is history.

Born in Grand Mamou\, Louisiana in 1941\, Sonnier was one of the first artists to incorporate light into sculpture: an innovation that forms the foundation of his subsequent work. Since the late 1960s\, Sonnier has continued to forge a sculptural language that defies easy categorization. From his earliest investigations of fleeting and unstable materials like lint\, latex and neon\, to his later expressions of the way architecture\, light and form come together to shape human experience\, communication and interconnection\, Sonnier’s art has radically reframed sculpture’s role and function. \nThe 15-minute documentary Keith Sonnier: Sketches to Neon by filmmaker Lana Jokel will be screened in Stern Auditorium. Filmed at two locations in the Hamptons\, the documentary follows Sonnier and Jokel to a local auto-body shop where the artist is transforming a 1950s Oldsmobile into a mobile neon sculpture. The second location is Sonnier’s Bridgehampton studio\, where he and Jokel discuss his process of transforming sketches and maquettes into neon works. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.
