Cecil Taylor Residency Planned for NYC’s Whitney Museum

From Feb. 26-May 14, New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art will present “Open Plan,” described in a press release as “an experimental five-part exhibition using the Museum’s dramatic fifth-floor as a single open gallery, unobstructed by interior walls.” As part of the exhibition, from April 15–24, pianist Cecil Taylor will take up residence in the fifth-floor gallery along with friends and fellow performers. The residency, the press release further states, “will feature a series of live performances amid a retrospective environment that will include documentation of Taylor’s career, including videos, audio, notational scores, photographs, poetry, and other ephemera.”
