High-Brow AND Hip

Something can in fact, be both high-brow and hip--and we've done it! The New Yorker ran this piece on the upcoming performance by Barbez called Force of Light, which will be held here at the Museum. Dan Kaufman has composed an incredible album inspired by the poetry of Holocaust survivor Paul Celan, that was distributed by jazz great John Zorn. Below, I've embedded a new video from John Jesurun (who also produced video to go along with Force of Light) for the band's piece "The Black Forrest." If you like what you see, be sure to check them out on Wednesday.
