Lonnie Holley and Cooper-Moore

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

The exhibition 'Blues for Smoke' are accompanied by a series of concerts, performances and readings showcasing the enduring legacy and innovative possibilities of the blues in contemporary music and live art. Reflecting on the exhibition's consideration of 'the blues' as a political and aesthetic idiom within the visual arts, the performances showcase contemporary musical forms that extend aspects of the blues legacy. Since 1979, artist and musician Lonnie Holley has dedicated his life to improvisational creativity manifested through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound. As a composer, performer, instrument builder/designer, storyteller, teacher, mentor, and organizer, Cooper-Moore has been a major, if somewhat behind-the-scenes, catalyst in the world of creative music for over 30 years. Free with Museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6-9 pm; no special tickets or reservations are required. Image: Lonnie Holley.
