In February, we were joined by the Las Vegas-based performance ensemble Molodi for a captivating evening where rhythm took center stage through the art of body percussion, poetry, and dance. As the beats resonated, the audience was invited to immerse themselves in the storytelling journey, celebrating the profound impact of African-American body percussion and cultural heritage. The group blends collegiate stepping, tap, gumboots, beatbox, poetry, and hip-hop dance with guerilla-style theatre and robust personalities that bring a high-energy, soulful, rhythmic experience to life. We learned about the history of Molodi and their in-school programs highlighting the movement practice, and the significance of their education work, during a panel with Jason Nious, the Co-founder and Director of Molodi, Joy Hermsen, the Chief Executive Officer at the International Museum of Dance, Mauricha Robinson, Program Manager for the African American Parent Advisory Council, and CieraJevae, Spoken Arts Department Head at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts.

On the Washington coast there's a place where nature's driftwood gets a second chance at stardom and continued beauty. The place is in Jeffro Uitto's studio, where the artist is making the magic happen. Since he was young, Jeffro has been creating with his favorite medium. The finding of each piece of wood for his sculpture is part of his process. In due time the varied sticks, slabs, and roots are cured, and he then goes to work. Growing up on the ocean with the mountains near by, there was no shortage of inspiration. He started by carving small objects and creating forts and structures on the beach at a very young age. It was in high school that he realized a large potential of what he could create. With encouragement from a close family friend, he stepped into the world of organic furniture, that soon led him into the endless possibility of sculpture, often mixing the two. He feels it is important to celebrate natural forms without imposing his will on the materials. The result is his authentic style with a feeling of energy and life owing through it. Jeffro has placed his monumental sculptures & commissioned creations with collectors around the US and an International Museum. He continues to increase exhibits of his artworks in galleries & museums. For more information about his work visit his Facebook and Instagram pages @jeffrouitto
Send us a Text Message.“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” or so they say. But, honestly that's just not true. For all of known history beauty has been defined by society, not the beholder, and the standards have been set unattainably high. Pale and plump, tan and thin, long hair, now short hair, curly hair, straight hair, big hair, no hair, thick eyebrows, thin eyebrows, thick again, thin again, short, now tall, black teeth, no white teeth. Ever changing, swinging like a pendulum, back and forth, and ever harder and harder to actually achieve. But did you know our desperation to somehow reach these impossible standards has led us to, quite literally, poison ourselves throughout history? Let's fix that.

Inside a small museum dedicated to the history and legacy of law enforcement in Los Angeles, California, is a small, innocuous cardboardbox. It's filled with cards bearing names, locations, and other evidence related to a still-unsolved murder that gripped the nation in the middle of the last century. Does this box still contain any clues that could solve this sensational case? Among the grotesque anatomical oddities and strange medical tools at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, IL is the strange bust of a figure more monster than man. But although the features seem out of proportion, this sculpture was modeled on a real person. Who was he, and what is the explanation for his seemingly incongruous nickname, the French Angel? The State Historical Society in Madison, Wisconsin contains one twisted piece of cast iron that on first glance looks like nothing more than a rusted hunk of junk. But it's a crucial piece of evidence in a deadly terrorist attack that shook America during one of its most trying eras. Where was it found, and what role did it play in that deadly event?For even more Mysteries at the Museum, head to discovery+. Go to discoveryplus.com/mystery to start your 7-day free trial today.

Addendum: There were some errors in the original audio file caught by early listeners. These were corrected but early downloaders may have the old version. Apologies for that.This week we bring you part two of our deep dive into the history of smallpox and the discovery of vaccination. We'll talk about smallpox in the Americas and the unimaginable devastation wrought upon the native peoples of the two continents. Then we'll talk about how this awful disease came to its end thanks to the discovery of vaccination, courtesy of Dr. Edward Jenner and the appreciation for the stalwart immune systems of milkmaids as the first key to winning against the viral foe that had plagued civilization for probably the entirety of recorded history.We are joined again by James Wilke, former artist in residency at the International Museum of Surgical Science whose research centered on smallpox. His exhibit, Pox Americana: How Smallpox Once Plagued America and The World was extended beyond its original dates to run from July and having just recently ended this past November. James is an artist of many talents. In addition to his work as a medical historian, he is an artist-author, playwright, Emmy award winning director, producer, singer/songwriter and, most recently again is the creator of this week's episode and fantastic introductory "Christmas at Mount Vernon" skit-- think Night Before Xmas except with more smallpox than the original--and the later Blossom 2.0 Vaccine Supreme skit as well. We hope you enjoy the final episode in our smallpox deep dive for now. See links below to follow James' work.

Any medical history podcast needs to spend some time talking about perhaps the worst and most culturally influential infectious disease we've known: smallpox. So we're going to do this in two parts, starting with an overview of how smallpox affected various areas of the world and truly shaped the whole of human civilization. It's also one of those rare stories that ends in triumph but that will wait for the second part on this topic. It's hard to overstate how intertwined we as humans are, historically speaking, with this virus. In light of that, we invited an expert onto the show. This week we're happy to have Emmy award winning director, James Wilke on the show. Having completed his artist-in-residency program at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, IL in the spring of 2022, James spent his time there researching smallpox. His exhibit, Pox Americana: How Smallpox Once Plagued America and The World was extended beyond its original dates to run from July through November of 2022. James is an artist of many talents. In addition to his work as a medical historian, he is an artist-author, playwright, director, producer, singer/songwriter and, most recently, the creator of this week's episode. So listen in and enjoy this introduction to smallpox--without having to get up close and personal with the pustules.Guest Links:Museum website: https://imss.org/james-r-wilke/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/james.r.wilke/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087887634437Podcast Links:-Linktree (reviews/ratings/social media links): linktr.ee/poorhistorianspod-Merch Site: https://www.teepublic.com/user/poor-historians-podcast

This week, Features Co-Director Mick R speaks with Chicago-based artist Jordan Reyes. They discus his new album, Everything Is Always and how an antipsychotic drug led to an overwhelming obsession with death, how zen, zaza meditation and drone metal helped, and his collaborators. Jordan Reyes will be celebrating Everything is Always at a release show held at the International Museum of Surgical Science on November 4, 2022. "I talked to my general practitioner about everything that I was doing and we did a bunch of tests. He said, well, you're physically fine but there's something going on there. It's advice you wouldn't expect from a doctor, but he just told me to make music every day. So I was like, this guy's pretty smart and I know that music has helped me in the past, and I'm trying to wrangle all of these ideas, so I started working on Everything Is Always and what would be Everything Is Always." - Jordan Reyes Produced by Mick R.

What is the relationship between machine learning, magic, and surprise? Tune into the Episode #17. Part II, where Jeanette Andrews, one of the most innovative illusionists in the world, talks about using the art of magic to explore the questions posed by Alan Turing of whether machines can exhibit intelligent behavior that cannot be distinguished from that of a human. About the Podcast Guest Jeanette Andrews is an artist, magician, and researcher. Andrews' work focuses on developing interactive magic and sensory illusions via performance, sculpture, installation, and audio. Over 27 years of specialized study and technical training in parlor and sleight of hand magic has now afforded her a distinct perspective on crafting experiences with nuanced psychological underpinnings, direction of attention and inattention, creating surreal visuals, and designing/building objects that function completely differently than they appear. Her research-based process centers around phenomenological philosophy, contemporary cognitive science, and physics. Her work is rooted in highlighting astonishing aspects of everyday life via moments of the seemingly impossible to create a lived phenomenology. Themes of pieces have included invisibility, impossible objects, the relationship between scent and magic, unseen communication, and how illusions can construct reality. Andrews works closely with museums and galleries to recontextualize magic within the cultural arts and explore this craft as a performance art medium. She has presented numerous commissioned works with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, including her 2020 work “Invisible Museums of the Unseen,” which was later commissioned as a site-specific work for the Quebec City Biennial. Further site-specific works for numerous museums and galleries include the Elmhurst Art Museum, Birmingham Museum of Art, and International Museum of Surgical Science. Andrews is also an acclaimed speaker, presenting with the Cooper Hewitt, Chicago Ideas, Fortune 500 companies, universities, and conferences across the country. She has been an artist in residence for High Concept Labs in Chicago and The Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. She is currently an Affiliate of metaLab (at) Harvard and an artist in residence at CultureLAB LIC in New York City. Illusion is Andrews' life's work, and her performances have been praised by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times.

Stay tuned for Part II of this Neurocareers podcast episode! About the Podcast Guest Jeanette Andrews is an artist, magician, and researcher. Andrews' work focuses on developing interactive magic and sensory illusions via performance, sculpture, installation, and audio. Over 27 years of specialized study and technical training in parlor and sleight of hand magic has now afforded her a distinct perspective on crafting experiences with nuanced psychological underpinnings, direction of attention and inattention, creating surreal visuals and designing/building objects that function completely differently than they appear. Her research-based process centers around phenomenological philosophy, contemporary cognitive science, and physics. Her work is rooted in highlighting astonishing aspects of everyday life via moments of the seemingly impossible to create a lived phenomenology. Themes of pieces have included invisibility, impossible objects, the relationship between scent and magic, unseen communication, and how illusions can construct reality. Andrews works closely with museums and galleries to recontextualize magic within the cultural arts and explore this craft as a performance art medium. She has presented numerous commissioned works with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, including her 2020 work “Invisible Museums of the Unseen,” which was later commissioned as a site-specific work for the Quebec City Biennial. Further site-specific works for numerous museums and galleries include the Elmhurst Art Museum, Birmingham Museum of Art, and International Museum of Surgical Science. Andrews is also an acclaimed speaker, presenting with the Cooper Hewitt, Chicago Ideas, Fortune 500 companies, universities, and conferences across the country. She has been an artist in residence for High Concept Labs in Chicago and The Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. She is currently an Affiliate of metaLab (at) Harvard and an artist in residence at CultureLAB LIC in New York City.

SUNNYVALE, California, Wednesday, May 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today is International Museum Day, an annual day sponsored by the International Council of Museums, which this year is exploring the potential of museums to bring about positive change. Matterport, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: MTTR) digital twin platform today is enabling museums to digitally transform their spaces, helping them increase access to the world of art, culture, and history. With a digital twin, museum operators can create powerful virtual learning experiences that increase access to those who cannot spend the time or money to travel, and in some cases introduce new revenue opportunities. Since March 2020, almost 7.3 million people have visited museums virtually using Matterport. In honor of International Museum Day, here are three iconic museums using Matterport to create virtual experiences to engage with and educate more people around the world. George Eastman Museum Founded in 1947, the George Eastman Museum located in Rochester, New York is the world's oldest photography museum and one of the largest film archives in the United States. The museum is located on the National Historic Landmark estate of George Eastman, the founder of Kodak and pioneer of popular photography, and holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The museum is now accessible through its Matterport digital twin. Virtual visitors can explore current and past photography exhibitions enriched by detailed spatial tags and integrated audio, or explore Eastman's historic mansion and the newly renovated visitor center. "The George Eastman Museum began experimenting with new forms of digital outreach and engagement in 2020, including creating virtual experiences using Matterport,” said Elizabeth Chiang, Staff Photographer at the George Eastman Museum. “The response was phenomenal; we saw a 48 percent increase in video views, over 10,000 visitors, and 88 percent satisfaction in virtual programming through these efforts. As a film and photography museum, image quality was an important factor in our decision to choose Matterport. The images Matterport provides are gorgeous and the resulting digital twin of the Museum is something artists and visitors can fully immerse themselves into.” --- Matterport media release continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com) https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/16846/page/1/matterport-celebrates-international-museum-day-with-access-to-virtual-tours/#1

Feltkamp (they/he) began their artistic life at the age of 5 playing a quarter-size cello and now they're "upending preconceptions about voice and gender" (New York Times) as a trans nonbinary writer.

Some of their favorite projects include: an opera with Dana Kaufman about Emily Dickinson's queerness, an interactive fiction experience about alien communication coded in Javascript (“Hello, Aria”), new English translations of Jewish lesbian erotic poet Marie-Madeleine's work (The Priestess of Morphine with Rosśa Crean), and a four-part series decoupling gender and voice types. Most recently, their work has been commissioned by Cantus, Amherst College, and the International Museum of Surgical Sciences, and has been published in Crêpe & Penn, Bait/Switch, and NewMusicBox. Before pursuing their medical transition, Aiden performed opera professionally, specializing in Baroque opera and new music. Their most fulfilling roles include Hansel, Prince Orlofsky, Cherubino, Ottavia in L'incoronazione di Poppea (especially in a Baroque gesture production with director Drew Minter), and Elizabeth in the World and NY premieres of Griffin Candey's Sweets by Kate. They continue to train their new voice and have recently performed as Figaro in ChamberQUEER's abridged Le Nozze di Figaro.

WATCH ON YOUTUBEhttps://youtu.be/nLuCmF2oA5wJeff sits down with artist Kelsey Irvin to hear about her artistic perspective, her career, how she got started, and about how she and her work have evolved over the years.To learn more about Kelsey and her work, visitwww.kelseyirvin.comwww.instagram.com/kelsey.irvinhttps://vimeo.com/258729079https://vimeo.com/187060686Driven to bring new life to objects that may otherwise have been lost in time, Kelsey Irvin finds herself collecting traces of lives lived – “memories misplaced in need of recognition.” After spending many years exploring a wide range of techniques and media, the artist has developed a unique way of incorporating drawing, painting, and collage into almost all of her work. Reaching for a balance between the past and the present, her work exudes a deep sense of nostalgia. Irvin studied at St. Lawrence University in Upstate New York before venturing to Southern California, where she now lives. Her paintings are in public and private collections throughout the United States, Italy, Dubai, Greece, Singapore, and China. “Using vintage ephemera in my work is a way to pay homage to those memories, those lives. In a world that is becoming more digital each day, I'm driven to bring new life to objects that may otherwise be lost and deteriorated in time. The challenge I seek is to maintain a balance between working with such old objects and recreating them in a contemporary artwork that holds the test of time.”Irvin's work is in the art collection at the International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction in Santa Fe, NM. She has been in exhibitions at Laguna Art Museum, Pensacola Museum of Art, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Attleboro Arts Museum, and in several gallery exhibitions across the United States as well as Greece.
