SUMMARY:Toby Sisson: ‘Bearing Witness’ Exhibition and Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Toby Sisson. Jimmy’s Blue Sky. 2023\, Collage of Cut Paper\, Photograph\, Encaustic Monotype Prints\, An American Journey series\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lunchtime gallery talk to celebrate an exhibition by Clark University professor Toby Sisson that explores oral history from the Great Migration — the movement of 6 million Black people from the south to the north between 1910 and 1970. Sisson’s artwork is a visual meditation on her late father’s origin story in the Mississippi Delta and the family narrative constructed by its retelling. Composed as a series of collages that portray abstract truths in the absence of material proof\, these pieces from her An American Journey series counter silences within the historical record of Black America. Professor Asha Best will facilitate. \n\n\n\nAdmission to the gallery talk is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15 p.m. for refreshments. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition will be on display through December 5\, 2025\, but hours may vary. Please contact HigginsInstitute@clarku.edu for more information or to arrange a viewing.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Creating Large-Scale Participatory Public Installations
DESCRIPTION:Located along the Port Authority Bus Terminal at West 42nd Street and 8th Avenue in Times Square\, this 72-foot\, 5.5 million pixel\, high-resolution LED display featured full multi-person interaction along its entire length via the NOIRFLUX interaction framework.\n\n\n\nRegretfully\, we have had to cancel this week’s lecture\, “Creating Large Scale Participatory Public Installations\,” by Clark alums Lorne Covington and Bill Saiff on Thursday\, October 23 at 7:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you at future events sponsored by our Interactive Arts Collaborative. More to come soon! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHow do you create public art and experiences that respond to people—not just one person\, but many\, all at once? Artists\, technologists\, and Clark University alumni Lorne Covington ’81 and Bill Saiff ’81 of NOIRFLUX will share how they design large-scale interactive environments where curious—but non-specialist—audiences become participants. Their work blends readily available technologies with their own custom-built tools to create installations that can sense\, respond to\, and engage any number of people in real time. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Covington and Saiff will describe how they use design methods that focus on the participants’ experiences to make intuitive\, engaging\, and rewarding installations. They will show examples across art\, education\, research\, and entertainment\, and will invite the audience to join in and interact with some of their work firsthand. \n\n\n\nCovington and Saiff’s creative journey began in the late 1970s\, experimenting with Clark’s PDP-11/70 computer in the Goddard Library basement. By the early 1980s they were already designing some of the world’s first interactive video systems and applications. While their professional careers took them down separate paths—Lorne as a filmmaker\, technologist\, and creative innovator\, and Bill as a leader in user experience research and design—they remained collaborators\, continually refining their shared vision of how people engage with technology. Since founding NOIRFLUX in 2011\, they have combined Lorne’s expertise in interactive media and sensing technologies with Bill’s decades of UX leadership to create installations that transform spectators into collective participants through interaction\, exploration\, and play. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program and is hosted by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities\, the Becker School of Design and Technology\, and the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University.

SUMMARY:Geller Jazz Series: ‘Art of the Quartet’
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. \n\n\n\nThe Geller Jazz Series at Clark University is proud to present an extraordinary night of jazz featuring a powerhouse ensemble of Nicholas Payton(trumpet)\, Benito Gonzalez (piano)\, Buster Williams (bass)\, and Lenny White (drums). This one-night-only performance\, the final concert of the series\, will showcase the immense talents of these jazz luminaries at the intersection of tradition and innovation. \n\n\n\nThe evening will also feature a special opening set by jazz vocalist Ekep Nkwelle and her quartet. \n\n\n\nThe Art of the Quartet is a unique gathering of four influential and visionary jazz musicians. Each member has contributed to the landscape of modern jazz with decades of groundbreaking work and collaborations with jazz legends across genres. \n\n\n\n\nNicholas Payton\, a Grammy Award-winning trumpeter and composer\, is known for his bold musical vision that blends the history of jazz with contemporary sounds. With a distinctive approach to trumpet playing\, Payton has created a sound that challenges and transcends traditional boundaries.\n\n\n\nBenito Gonzalez\, an acclaimed Venezuelan pianist who combines a long lineage of American jazz traditions with rhythms from around the world. He’s worked with dozens of the greats\, and is known for the Afro-Latin patterns and his rhythmic drive. Intricate solos are a cornerstone of his ensembles.\n\n\n\nBuster Williams\, a living legend in jazz bass\, has spent over five decades performing with luminaries such as Miles Davis\, Herbie Hancock\, McCoy Tyner\, Sonny Rollins\, and Wayne Shorter — to name just a few. His ability to meld intricate harmonies with deep groove has made him one of the most respected bassists in jazz history.\n\n\n\nLenny White\, a visionary drummer\, was a key figure in jazz fusion with the iconic band Return to Forever. His work in both straight-ahead jazz and fusion has set a new standard for jazz drumming with its intensity\, precision\, and creativity.\n\n\n\n\nThese four will take the stage for an evening that promises to explore the full spectrum of jazz expression\, from intense improvisation to rich\, melodic interplay. It’s a unique opportunity to hear these virtuosos push the boundaries of the genre and redefine what jazz can be. \n\n\n\nOpening the evening will be the Ekep Nkwelle Quartet\, a rising star in the jazz scene. Ekep Nkwelle\, a 25-year-old Cameroonian-American jazz vocalist\, has carved her musical path from the vibrant streets of Washington\, DC\, to the heart of New York City’s jazz scene. Her journey through the esteemed Duke Ellington School of the Arts\, Howard University\, and The Juilliard School has been extraordinary. The power of her voice has resonated with jazz luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Russell Malone\, Cyrus Chestnut\, and Peter Washington\, along with young stars like Emmet Cohen and Endea Owens\, leading to countless collaborations. Her performances have graced iconic\, internationally renowned venues from the illustrious Radio City Music Hall\, where she shared the stage with classical virtuoso Lang Lang in collaboration with Disney.

SUMMARY:The Last of the Nightingales: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Colorfool Films \n  \nDiscussion facilitated by Clark University faculty Stephen DiRado\, Matt Malsky\, and Max Ritts \nIn the late 1960s\, Bernie Krause was a prolific composer and foley artist who pioneered synthesizers and worked with industry giants such as Francis Ford Coppola\, The Doors\, and The Rolling Stones. But after one chance encounter with the sounds of the wilderness\, he chose to change his career path\, setting out to gather wild field recordings to help battle the climate crisis using acoustic information. More than half a century later\, his vast archive of captured soundscapes reflects dire habitat devastation in the world and yields urgent stories about the need for immediate change. \nThe Last of the Nightingales\, directed by Masha Karpoukhina\, invites audiences to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world through Bernie’s ears\, exceptionally attuned over decades. More than half of the ecosystems recorded in his immense archive are now completely silent or will never be heard in their original voice again due to the profound effects of climate change on the stability\, biodiversity\, and resilience of virtually all ecosystems on Earth. As more and more soundscapes fall silent\, Bernie reminds us that it’s not too late to begin listening. \nAdmission to the screening is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be offered. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Environmental Humanities Research Collaborative at Clark University

SUMMARY:Landscapes of Decline in 1980s Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mike Dwyer of Arcadia University will discuss his new book\, Tinsel and Rust: How Hollywood Manufactured the Rust Belt. \nWhat is the Rust Belt? This seemingly simple question is surprisingly difficult to answer. In response to the difficulty that scholars and commentators alike have faced in defining the term (is it a place? a historical period? an economic condition?)\, this presentation redirects our attention toward the ongoing cultural production of the idea of the Rust Belt through popular film and media. \nBorrowing the concept of “landscape” from cultural geographers like Don Mitchell\, Dwyer analyzes the way that Hollywood film in the 1980s trained Americans to see smokestacks and factories as symbols of inescapable toxicity and decay\, rather than sites of ongoing struggle and negotiation involving actual human beings. \n
