There is a fascinating and lesser-known chapter in the career of Jasper Johns. He was artistic advisor for the avant-garde Merce Cunningham Dance Company, which connected him to movement artists, musicians, and performers, and influenced Johns’s thinking about time and space.
Cultural Katonah, a new collaboration between Caramoor, John Jay Homestead State Historic Site, and the Katonah Museum of Art offers compelling interdisciplinary programs that showcase Katonah as a cultural destination.
