Veterans Room
Pianist and composer Jason Moran returns to the Armory’s Artists Studio series for a night of solo piano and jazz, his first solo program at the Armory since the series’ inception in 2016. He returns to the Armory after a sold-out run of his 2021 Social Distance Hall program Party in the Bardo, created with Laurie Anderson. This MacArthur “Genius” and jazz luminary is sure to excite with a new program created specifically for the Veterans Room.

Artists Studio
Joan Jonas
A pioneer of performance and video art, multimedia artist Joan Jonas presents out Takes: What the Storm Washed In, composed of both unseen and historical video strung together like beads on a string, connected by poetry, music, and performance.
Artists Studio
Rodney McMillian
Conceptual artist Rodney McMillian performs Hanging with Clarence, which combines Clarence Thomas' speeches with funk-rock songs. The resulting performative work is part musical theater salon, part rock concert, and part spiritual testimony.
Artists Studio
Camille Norment & Craig Taborn
Multimedia artist Camille Norment is joined by improvising pianist, composer, and electronic musician Craig Taborn for Infinitive, which uses touch, pronouncing silence, and sonic feedback as dynamic instruments to experience the extremes of sound.
