Blues People<\/a> – Express Newark<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the 60th anniversary of \u201cBlues People: Negro Music in White America\u201d,\u2014the acclaimed book by writer, poet, political activist and Newark native LeRoi Jones, who later renamed himself Amiri Baraka\u2014visual artists\u00a0Derrick Adams<\/strong>,\u00a0Adama Delphine Fawundu<\/strong>,\u00a0Adebunmi Gbadebo<\/strong>,\u00a0Cesar Melgar<\/strong>, and\u00a0Accra Shepp<\/strong>\u00a0have reimagined pivotal works of theirs to create five newly commissioned art installations at Express Newark that explore what it means to be a \u201cBlues People\u201d in the twenty-first century.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set up all the AV for the artists’ videos, audio, and projections. Derrick Adams’ “The Holdout” was especially fun. They made a room inside the gallery with a cool DJ booth table with an amazing D&B Audio PA system. I set up the table so that you could send out out to other locations in the building by using the existing ethernet lines as audio cables. I also designed an easy-to-use live-streaming setup so that monthly special events could be easily broadcast and listened to online. Such a great crew at Express Newark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
