~~~ Jack Straw New Media Gallery
Felt is an investigation into how matter, form and surface hold, reveal, and alter what they contain. Four 12" dubplate records on four separate turntables, each with its own sound system, may be played by visitors to the gallery - one at a time, all at once, or in any combination. Two are piano recordings by improviser Gust Burns and two are poems by Melanie Noel. For more information see our New Media Gallery page. ~~~ The AYP Centennial Radio Project Three five-minute radio features from Harriet Baskas and Jack Straw Productions, broadcast on KUOW 94.9 FM and made possible with funding from Humanities Washington and 4Culture. In 1909 the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition filled the grounds of what is now the University of Washington campus with impressive and innovative cultural, scientific and agricultural displays and shone a national spotlight on Seattle. These three radio stories explore several aspects of the fair: the music, the souvenirs, and some of the event’s lasting legacies and innovations.
