Staged

Overlapping jazz, art, and social history, Jason Moran provokes the viewer to reconsider the notions of value, authenticity, and time in his first gallery exhibition in Brooklyn.

Gallery Luhring Augustine Bushwick presents “Staged”, the first solo exhibition by the musician, composer and artist Jason Moran, in Brooklyn. Moran’s rich and varied work in both music and visual art focuses on the relationship between music and language, exploring ideas of intelligibility and communication.

“Staegd” will show a range of objects and works on paper, including two large-scale sculptures with audio elements from Moran’s Staged series that were recently exhibited in the 56th Biennale di Venezia. Based on two historic New York City jazz venues that no longer exist (the Savoy Ballroom and the Three Deuces), the sculptures are hybrids of reconstructions and imaginings. Works on paper and smaller objects will be in dialogue with the stage sculptures on many levels: citing performance and process, employing sound, and exploiting the visual history of jazz in America.
