The Bandwagon—pianist Jason Moran, bassist Tarus Mateen, and drummer Nasheet Waits—performed a twenty-year history with music, stories and images on December 19-21, 2019. This printed program supported the event series with details and schedule information for visitors. Photograph by Jens Mortensen.

Jason Moran joins artist Kara Walker for the New York debut of Katastwóf Karavan (2018), a steam-powered calliope housed in a parade wagon that will be installed and activated outside the museum for a one-day-only presentation. Featuring the steam whistle typical of a calliope, the custom-fabricated instrument is programmed by Walker with a compilation of jazz, gospel, and songs that, in Walker’s words, represent both “Black protest and celebration.” We created a classic sandwich-board style sign to exist outdoors for the one-day-only activation.

This exhibition—the artist’s first solo museum show—presented the range of work Moran has explored, from his own sculptures and drawings to collaborations with visual artists to performances. Originating in Minneapolis at the Walker Art Center in the spring of 2018, the show then traveled to the ICA Boston and the Wexner Center before its final stop at the Whitney. On view there from September 20, 2019 through January 5, 2020, this grand finale in Moran's hometown of New York City featured many performances by renowned jazz musicians and new live adaptations of works made with his most significant artistic collaborators. In addition to the standard didactic information required of all exhibitions, the design team also developed a digital playlist to accompany the varied activations that occurred through the duration of the exhibition.
