>> [MUSIC] >> >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO NYC ARTS.

I AM ON LOCATION AT THE MUSEUM AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK LOCATED ON FIFTH AVENUE AT 103rd STREET CUT RIGHT ACROSS FROM CENTRAL PARK, THE MUSEUM IS LONG BEEN THE CITY'S STORYTELLER.

SINCE ITS FOUNDING ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO, IT HAS ENGAGED NEW YORKERS AND VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD BY CELEBRATING DOCUMENTING AND INTERPRETING THE CITY'S PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE.

THE FOCAL POINT OF THE MUSEUM'S MAIN ENTRY IS CALLED STAR WHITE.

A BRILLIANT WHITE INSULATION SUSPENDED ABOVE THE ROTUNDA.

CONCEIVED BY COOPER JOSEPH STUDIOS, IT ENHANCES THE SWEEPING CIRCULAR STAIRCASE WITH MORE THAN 5000 POINTS OF LIGHT.

IT BOLDLY COMPLEMENTS THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MUSEUM'S 1932 NEO-GEORGIAN HOME.

>> THE MURAL WHICH FILLS THIS GALLERY SPACE IS CALLED RAISE YOUR VOICE.

IT'S PART OF THE MUSEUM'S ONGOING EXHIBITION ACTIVIST NEW YORK.

THE ARTIST WHO CREATED THIS MURAL, AMANDA, IS BASED IN BROOKLYN AND IS ALSO AN ACTIVIST AND EDUCATOR.

HER WORK HAS APPEARED ALL OVER THE CITY AS HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS SURGED DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

BASED ON THE ARTIST PUBLIC ART CAMPAIGN, WE ARE MORE, WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY THE RESIDENTS OF THESE COMMUNITIES, IT NOW FEATURES REPRESENTATIONS OF ACTIVISTS SUCH AS YURI AND MALCOLM X.

BOTH HARLEM RESIDENTS AS THESE LEADERS BECAME FRIENDS AND ALLIES IN THEIR JOINT CAMPAIGNS AGAINST RACISM AND WAR INSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONS OF ACTIVISTS.

WHETHER IN TIMES SQUARE AT THE ATLANTIC TERMINAL, ON BILLBOARDS AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES, THE ARTIST'S WORK IS A TESTAMENT TO THE POWERFUL CONNECTION BETWEEN ACTIVISM AND ART.

>> ON OUR PROGRAM TONIGHT, WE WILL VISIT THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MUSEUM OF THE DOG LOCATED AT 101 PARK AVENUE NEAR GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL.

AFTER CHANGING LOCATIONS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1982, THE MUSEUM IS NOW FOUND ITS WAY BACK HOME UNITING WITH THE AKC UNDER ONE ROOF.

ONE OF THE ONLY MUSEUMS DEDICATED SOLELY TO THE DEPICTION OF DOGS, ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE FINEST AND LARGEST HOLDINGS OF CANINE RELATED FINE ART AND ARTIFACTS IN THE WORLD.

IT COMPRISES PAINTINGS, WATERCOLORS, DRAWINGS, PRINTS, CERAMICS AND BRONZES.

THE MUSEUM CELEBRATES THE IMPORTANT ROLE DOGS PLAY IN SOCIETY AS WELL IS THE MORE PERSONAL, HUMAN TO CANINE BOND.

THE CURATOR ALAN FOSSIL IS OUR GUIDE.

>> THE COLLECTION IS POSSIBLY THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF DOG ART IN THE WORLD.

IT COMPRISES 1700 OBJECTS, PRIMARILY FINE ART WITH PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, SCULPTURES , CERAMICS AND A WHOLE VARIETY ALL DAY DEDICATED TO THE DOG.

THERE ARE SEVERAL EXHIBITIONS WHERE SOME WITH DOG ARTIST HONORED.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF POSTERS.

WE HAVE PRESIDENTIAL DOGS.

WE DO THAT EVERY FOUR YEARS.

RECENTLY THE EXHIBITION OF DOGS FOR WAR AND PEACE.

THE USE OF DOGS WHO HAVE HELPED ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND OFF THE BATTLEFIELD AS WELL AS THERAPY DOGS AND HELPING DOGS.

ALLEGORIES OF DOGS WHO.

>> THE LOBBY IS ALWAYS PACKED.

THE ACTIVITY CENTER.

4000 VOLUMES OF THE AKC.

WE NOT ONLY HAVE A GREAT COLLECTION BUT ALSO STATE OF THE ART VISUAL INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS.

YOU CAN TRAIN A VIRTUAL DOG.

WE TOOK A 10-YEAR-OLD LOB OUT IN LOS ANGELES FOR THE MOTION CAPTURE.

ALL THE EMOTIONS AND REACTIONS ARE IN REAL TIME JUST AS THE DOG WOULD HAVE DONE IT.

YOU CAN FIND YOUR MATCH.

NOT THE DOG YOU SHOULD HAVE THE DOG YOU LOOK LIKE.

IT TAKES YOUR PHOTOGRAPH AND A I DECIDES WHAT DOG YOU LOOK LIKE.

WE HAVE A MEET THE BREEDS TABLE.

YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT ALL 200 BREEDS IN THE AKC.

THE OLDEST WORK IS A 30 MILLION- YEAR-OLD FOSSIL WHICH IS OF AN EARLY DOG.

MOST PAINTINGS START AT 1670S AND GO ON TO TODAY.

AND SO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT DOGS ENGAGE IN.

>> QUEEN VICTORIA WAS PROBABLY THE MOST PERSON IN THE 19th CENTURY IN ELEVATING THE STATUS OF THE DOG.

NOT JUST THE WORKING DOG IN THE FIELD BUT THE DOG IN THE HOME.

IT WAS VERY POPULAR TO HAVE DOGS AS PETS.

I THINK THE CROWD FAVORITE HERE IS THIS PAINTING.

IT SHOWS CAESAR, EDWARD VII DOG AFTER THE KING PASSED AWAY.

EDWARD VII STIPULATED THAT CAESAR WAS IN THE FUNERAL PROCESSION.

IT SHOWS HIS DOG CAESAR WITH HIS HEAD ON HIS MASTERS ARM CHAIR AS THEY ARM CHAIR IS IN THE BACKGROUND IN OBSCURITY.

>> ANOTHER WORK WE HAVE WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN DOG PAINTINGS IS SENSATION AND BANG BANG IT'S BY JOHN MARTIN TRACY.

THAT PAINTING IS BY FAR HIS BEST WORK.

THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE TREES.

IT IS A STUNNING WORK.

THERE ARE TWO COLUMNS RECORDED BY THE WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB IN THE 19th CENTURY.

SENSATION WAS THE DOG THAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THE LOGO FOR THE WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB WHICH YOU SEE AT THEIR SHOW ALL THE TIME.

BARRY POPULAR.

VERY POPULAR.

AND THERE'S A CAROUSEL DOG FROM THE 1890S THAT SHOWS A MASTIFF.

>> HAVE A LOT OF DOG PAINTINGS.

I'M STARTING TO LOOK AT DOGS DIFFERENTLY.

AND I WOULD SEE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T SEE IN THE DOG THAT THE PAINTER WAS TELLING ME.

THIS IS REALLY A GOAL OF ART.

WHETHER IT'S A DOG PAINTING OR CONCEPTUAL WORK.

THAT'S WHERE WE LEARN THAT DOG.

IT'S INTERESTING.

>> NEXT WE WILL VISIT THE NEW MOYNAHAN TRAINING HALL.

A VISIONARY TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATION'S BUSIEST TRANSPORTATION HUB.

LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM PENN STATION, THE HALL IS NAMED AFTER SENATOR PATRICK MOYNIHAN WHO FIRST PROMOTED THE IDEA OF RESTORING THE AREA TO ITS FORMER GLORY.

THE ORIGINAL PENN STATION HAD BEEN DEMOLISHED IN THE EARLY 1960S TO MAKE WAY FOR MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

THE 1914 POST OFFICE IS THE ARCHITECTURAL SISTER TO THE OLD PENN STATION.

IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A STATE OF THE ART 21ST-CENTURY TRANSIT CENTER FOR THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD AND AMTRAK COULD AND A GRAND PUBLIC SPACE AND A SOURCE OF CIVIC PRIDE FOR ALL NEW YORKERS.

THREE INSTALLATIONS WERE COMMISSIONED FOR THE SITE BY NEW YORK STATE.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PUBLIC ART FUND.

IN THE TICKETED WAITING ROOM ADJACENT TO THE MAIN CONCOURSE, STAN DOUGLAS PHOTOGRAPHIC PANELS RE-CREATE AND PAY TRIBUTE TO THE ORIGINAL PENN STATION.

AT THE MID BLOCK ENTRANCES AT 31st AND 33rd STREET, DYNAMIC AND COLORFUL INSTALLATIONS AS WELL WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE STATION.

THESE PUBLIC ARTWORKS MAKE MOYNAHAN TRAINING HALL A DESTINATION IN ITS OWN RIGHT WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE CATCHING A TRAIN.

NICHOLAS BOUND, DIRECTOR AND CHIEF CURATOR OF THE PUBLIC ARTS FUND TELLS US ABOUT THE ARTISTS AND ARTWORK SELECTED FOR THE PROJECT.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US THAT THE ARTWORKS COMMISSIONED FOR THIS WONDERFUL NEW CIVIC LANDMARK TELLS SOMETHING ABOUT WHERE, WHO AND WHAT WE ARE.

NEW YORK CITY IS A VIBRANT, URBAN, DEMOCRATIC PLACE.

AND WE WANTED TO REFLECT THAT.

WE WANTED TO REFLECT THE FACT THAT THIS BUILDING BRINGS TOGETHER SIMILAR LAYERS.

THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.

EACH THROUGH THEIR OWN CREATIVE IMAGINATION COULD CAPTURE SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT THAT.

STAN DOUGLAS HAS CREATED A WORK THAT HE HAS CALLED PENN STATION HALF CENTURY.

BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL 10 STATION PENN STATION EXISTED FOR A HALF- CENTURY.

IT WAS AN ICONIC NEW YORK CITY LANDMARK.

A MAGNIFICENT CAN BUILDING.

IT WAS TRAGICALLY DEMOLISHED.

STAN HAS DIGITALLY CREATED THE INTERIOR OF THE ORIGINAL PENN STATION.

AND THEN PHOTOGRAPHED THE PEOPLE DRESSED IN.

CUSTOM AND THE RE-IMAGINATION OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENED.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MOMENTS THAT STAND SHOWS, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY WORLD CHANGING EVENTS.

IT IS MORE QUIRKY MOMENTS THAT MEANT SOMETHING.

THAT EXPRESS THE WAY PENN STATION FUNCTION IN THE LIFE OF NEW YORK CITY.

IS IT A PLACE WHERE IT'S LIKE A BOTTLE SHOW VAUDEVILLE SHOW.

OR THE TENDER MOMENTS OF GOODBYE WHEN SERVICEMEN WERE GOING OFF TO WAR.

STAN'S WORK FEATURES A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LARGELY FORGOTTEN.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMERS LIKE BERT WILLIAMS.

PIONEERING LABOR ORGANIZES LIKE ANGELO HERNDON.

EVEN A NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL LIKE TO SEE IN THE TYRANNY.

STAN HAS REMINDED US AND PRESERVED FOR ALL OF US TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT WHAT SHAPES, AND WHO WE ARE TODAY.

>> WILEY'S WORK IN ESSENCE BRINGS A TREMENDOUS ENERGY AND VITALITY TO A CLASSICAL GENRE.

THE RENAISSANCE STYLE CEILING FRESCO.

WHICH TO HIM, WAS REINVENTED, AS A CONTEMPORARY STAINED GLASS CEILING.

IN ANOTHER WEIGHT BRINGS TOGETHER THE IDEAS OF THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.

BECAUSE WHILE IT GESTURES TO OUR HISTORY, HIS CHARACTERS ARE CONTEMPORARY NEW YORKERS.

BREAK DANCERS.

PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING EXTRAORDINARY ACROBATIC ATHLETIC CREATIVE GESTURES.

AND IT WAS AN ART INVENTED IN NEW YORK CITY AND WE SEE THESE BLACK BODIES TUMBLING THROUGH SPACE AND FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR.

THEY CREATED A WORK THAT THEY CALLED THE CULTURE THAT HANGS DOWN FROM THE CITY.

DOZENS OF HIGHLIGHTED BUILDINGS AND ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

AND WHEN WE LOOK AT IT WE START TO THINK, WAIT A MINUTE.

I RECOGNIZE THAT BUILDING.

IT'S THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING OR DID I SEE THAT IN LONDON OR HONG KONG?

INSPIRED BY BUILDINGS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AS WELL AS THEIR OWN ARCHITECTURAL INVENTIONS.

I THINK THE ARTISTS REALLY LOVED THE IDEA OF THE WAY THE CONTEMPORARY MEGA-CITY IS SOMEHOW LIKE A BEEHIVE AND GROWING AND EVOLVING, COMPLEX STRUCTURE.

AND IT'S IN A TRAIN STATION AND THE IDEA OF TRAVEL AND EVEN THE IDEA OF NEW YORK CITY IS ABOUT CONNECTION.

IN THE ENERGY THAT IS CREATED WHEN PEOPLE COME TOGETHER.

THE TRUEST FORM OF PUBLIC SPACE IS TURNED INTO A TRULY CIVIC SPACE.

IT CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF NEW YORK CITY.

IT SIMPLY ILLUSTRATES THAT.

BUT A GREAT ARTIST CAN THROUGH THEIR IMAGINATIVE VISION, THROUGH THEIR CREATIVITY, CREATE SOMETHING THAT CAPTURES SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO BE ALIVE TODAY.

SOMETHING THAT CAN TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE PAST AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE.

AND THAT IT CAN EXIST FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

>> NEXT, WE WILL VISIT THE AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM LOCATED ACROSS FROM LINCOLN CENTER.

SINCE 1961, THIS MUSEUM HAS BEEN CELEBRATING THE CREATIVITY OF ARTIST WHOSE TALENTS HAVE BEEN REFINED THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN FORMAL ARTISTIC TRAINING.

ITS COLLECTION INCLUDES MORE THAN 8000 WORKS OF ART FROM FOUR CENTURIES REPRESENTING NEARLY EVERY CONTINENT.

>> 1914.

REFLECTING SOCIAL REALITY.

AND CARRYING MESSAGES OF HOPE AND LIBERTY.

A LOT OF STATUES AND ARCHITECTURE.

THESE ARE MADE FROM SKETCHES FROM WORK.

TOGETHER.

A WORKER AFTER A HARD DAYS WORK.

ALONE BUT VERY MUCH TOGETHER.

MOVING TO A RHYTHM.

IT'S WHAT MAKES THE CITY GREAT.

THIS IS A LARGE-SCALE PAINTING AS WELL AS CAMPUSES.

SOME OF THEM ARE AS LARGE AS 10 FEET.

TYPICALLY, THOSE PAINTINGS WERE MEANT TO BE SEEN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE WHERE THEY ARE LARGE AND DETAILS.

YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT THE LIVES OF EACH OF THOSE SUBJECTS.

MESSAGES THAT HE WAS THERE TO FIGHT FOR THE LABORERS RIGHTS.

AND ALSO A CELEBRATION OF THE WORKERS.

>> NEXT WEEK ON NYC ARTS, A VISIT TO THE MET WEAR KIMONO STYLE, THE JHANSI WEBER COLLECTION WHICH EXPLORES THE CHANGES IN TRENDS AND STYLES OF THIS TRADITIONAL JAPANESE GARMENT FROM THE LATE 18 CENTURY ART GOOD >> MANY THOUGHT IT BEGAN IN ITALY AND FRANCE, HOWEVER IN JAPAN THEY SOPHISTICATED THE TEXTILE PRODUCERS AND THE CUSTOMERS IN THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY.

THE PUBLISHERS REGULARLY PUBLISHED BOOKS.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE.

AND STYLISH COLORING AND DYING TECH UNIQUE.

WE MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THIS UP- TO-DATE FASHION INFORMATION JUST LIKE WE HAVE MAGAZINES TODAY.

>> A TRIP TO THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM.

AND THE REAL AND IMAGINED IN EUROPEAN ART.

>> THIS EXHIBITION BRINGS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EUROPEAN COLLECTION.

IT'S 19th TO EARLY 20th CENTURY EARLY EUROPEAN ART.

WE ORGANIZED IT UNDER THE BROAD BEAM OF THE REAL AND THE IMAGINED WHICH WAS REALLY EVOCATIVE AND FLEXIBLE IN TERMS OF A DESPERATE WORK.

>> AND ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COLLECTION OF THE AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM.

>> SAINT JACQUES.

AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA AND STARTED FASHIONING PLAYING ALMOST TWO HIS GRANDFATHER.

A JUNK COLLECTOR.
