Jason Moran is keeping himself busy.

A live performance by Jason is featured in a video installation called The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things by seminal video and performance artist Joan Jonas. This piece is based on Joan Jonas’ recent site specific work, presented as a performance at Dia:Beacon (New York) in October 2005, and repeated in October 2006. Also included in the exhibition is a new My New Theater project, part of an ongoing series of video objects. The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things is a response to German art historian Aby Warburg’s essay about his visit to the American Southwest at the end of the nineteenth century. This five channel video installation continues the artist’s investigation of the performing body and its interaction with media and space, transformed through drawings, photography, video projections, sound, music, movement and found objects. For the pieces, Moran composed new music for this collaborative work. The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things is presented at the Yvon-Lambert Gallery from April 26-March 29.

Jason also lent his skills to the short film STUTTER. He scored, along with The Bandwagon, Janice Ahn’s short film, which will screen at NYU’s First Run Film Festival April 13 - 3:30 April 14 - 9:30 The Cantor Film Center 36 E. 8th Street NY and also being screened on April 20th at SAY SO.
