Jeff Hiller on the Final Season of 'Somebody Somewhere,' Sarah Kinsley Performs Live, Bill T. Jones Revisits 'Still/Here,' Artist Keith Jackson's Solo Show

It's time for the final season of the acclaimed HBO series "Somebody Somewhere." Actor Jeff Hiller, who stars in the show as Joel, the best friend of main character Sam, joins us to discuss the final season, which premieres on Sunday.

 

NYC-based musician and Columbia grad Sarah Kinsley released her debut album Escaper last month and wrapped her US tour at Webster Hall last week. Next month she'll set off for Europe, but before then she joins us in the studio to perform live.

 

In 1994, choreographer, dancer and director Bill T. Jones stirred up controversy with his work "Still/Here," a performance piece that used dance, video, photos, music, and more to tell the stories of people grappling with terminal illness, including many who were dying of AIDS. Now, 30 years after the work first premiered at BAM, Bill T. Jones and his company will be returning for a recreation of that performance. Jones and original "Still/Here" company member Arthur Aviles join us to discuss the performance, which is running at BAM from October 30 through November 2.

 

Today is the opening of artist Keith Jackson's new show, his New York solo debut, at Charles Moffett. For much of his life, Jackson, who grew up in Missouri and now in lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin, worked as a building contractor. But in the last few years, he's dedicated himself to painting full-time. This new show, The Provocateurs, displays paintings inspired by Jackson's study of a 1939 sharecropper demonstration in Southeast Missouri, near where he was raised. Keith Jackson tells us more about his practice and the show, on view through November 30.
