MoMa - Marlon Mullen
Step inside this lively community arts center as painter Marlon Mullen makes the last piece for his major solo exhibition at MoMA. For nearly 40 years, Mullen has been based at the NIAD Art Center, a progressive art studio for artists with developmental disabilities in his native Richmond, California. Donated issues of art publications serve as his primary subject matter. Upon selecting a cover or an interior page as a point of departure, Mullen paints using acrylic on canvas, flat on a table. Through bold swirls and vivid colors, watch Mullen’s artistic process unfold. His vibrant paintings, with their lush surfaces and bold color, expand the long-standing tradition of making art about art.

Moma - Isaac Julien
Step inside Isaac Julien’s immersive video installation on the life of abolitionist and freedom fighter Frederick Douglass. In this conversation with civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill, Julien delves deep into his work “Lessons of the Hour." Expanding on the narrative of Douglass's life, this film includes reenactments of his most well known speeches such as "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July." The work blends footage of past and present as a testament to the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality in America. Julien’s work, alongside Ifill’s reflections, deepens our understanding of the unfinished business of democracy.

CINEFIX - John Wick
It’s been a decade since Keanu Reeves donned a black suit, became the Baba Yaga, and murdered every Russian mobster in NYC to avenge the death of his dog. John Wick was a turning point in 2010s action movies. Not only did the choreography and camera work in a John Wick fight scene change the way that Hollywood action movies were shot, but the $25M independently produced film also showed everyone it was still possible to generate original franchises in the midst of this IP-era of Hollywood.

Moma - Teknolust - Tilda Swinton
We interview Tilda Swinton as she rewatches Lynn Hershman Leeson’s “Teknolust” (2002), in which she plays four different roles: scientist Rosetta Stone and Ruby, Olive, and Marine, three clones (part human, part computer) who long to live in the real world. “Teknolust” is a hilarious, genre-breaking, sexual-biogenetic comedy focused on AI and how we live with it. “I would suggest this film is more relevant today than it was when we made it,” Swinton explains. “I think this suggestion of a benign universe in which machines and humans can not only interreact, but also be dependent on one another, is not a bad thing to just bathe in for 90 minutes. Just as a little trial.”

MoMa - LaToya Ruby Frazier
Photographer and activist LaToya Ruby Frazier sees the legacy of the Black women of America’s working class in Lee Friedlander’s “Ohio Factory Valley” series. Through her personal memories and close observation, these lesser-known photographs become “knockouts” that empower the women they depict.. On the occasion of her timely exhibition “Monuments of Solidarity” at MoMA, Frazier traces the trajectory of documentary photography, from these two inspiring photographs to her approach of collaborative “visual healing.”

MoMa - Joan Jonas/Jason Moran
We visited acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Jason Moran at his home in Harlem to talk with him about artist Joan Jonas’ earliest performance works, “Songdelay” (1973). Filmed with a cast of performers in downtown New York near the Hudson River, the work explores how sound travels and can be distorted. To Moran, it presents many ideas of what songs can be. Moran and Jonas are almost like family, with close to twenty years of collaborative experience. While performing on his piano at home, he reflects on how their musical kinship has impacted his work’s purpose.
