Thelma Golden's 10 Must See Pieces of Art in New York; 100 Years of the Met's American Wing; John Lewis Full Bio; 'In the Amazon Warehouse Parking Lot'
In honor of WNYC's 100th birthday, All Of It is celebrating 100 pieces of art in New York City. Each month we'll speak with a tastemaker in the arts world about their favorites. Our November segment features Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum of Harlem, who shares 10 pieces she thinks all New Yorkers should see.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Wing celebrates its centennial this year, with a special installation beginning November 8. Sylvia Yount, Lawrence A. Fleischman curator in charge of the American Wing, joins us to discuss the anniversary and history of the space.
Our November Full Bio selection is John Lewis: A Life, written by author David Greenberg. Greenberg interviewed Lewis before his death as well as over 250 people for a comprehensive biography about the U.S Congressman, Civil Rights Activist, and preacher of getting into, as he called it, "good trouble."Â On Day Three, we reflect on why John Lewis decided to run for public office for both the Atlanta City Council and the U.S. Congress, and the kind of reputation he earned as a politician in Washington.
A new Off-Broadway play set in the not-so-distant future follows a group of warehouse workers traveling from job to job to avoid the encroaching coastlines. Playwright Sarah Mantell joins alongside actors Deirdre Lovejoy and Pooya Mohseni to talk about the production, "In the Amazon Warehouse Parking Lot" which is running at Playwright Horizons through November 17.
