Jason Moran

Jason Moran, a composer and performer as well as artist, has long held a fascination for jazz which he’s expressed not only through his own music, but also through an artistic output that has included works on paper and sculpture (notably, his three dimensional tableaux that re-imagine shuttered jazz clubs of legend, such as the Savoy Ballroom and the Three Deuces). His projects have also involved collaborations with a wide range of noted visual artists—among them, Joan Jonas, Kara Walker and Lorna Simpson. This exhibition, his first solo museum show, surveys all aspects of a career that explores the extensive, if underappreciated, intersection of objects and sound.
