For HEARD•NY, artist Nick Cave will transform Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall with a herd of thirty colorful life-size horses that will peacefully “graze” and periodically break into choreographed movement—or “crossings”— accompanied by live music. The project, which is open to the public free of charge, is presented by Creative Time and MTA Arts for Transit as part of a series of events celebrating the centennial of Grand Central.

We are thrilled to be partnering with The Ailey School, whose students will perform the twice-daily crossings, and with Chicago-based choreographer William Gill, who has worked with the artist to design the dancers’ movements.

March 25–31, 2013
Daily Crossings / 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM
Daily Tours 3:30 PM

Free

Phyllis, twenty-three, works as a maid. She commutes every day to a vast estate containing buffalos, zebras, and giraffes from the nearby shanty town where she was born and raised.

Karyiuki comes from the town of Nyeri. He is sixty-eight years old, married, and has eight children. He has worked as a driver in Nairobi for the same family for nearly two decades. His employer...

An electric bell that calls the waitstaff in the kitchen at a lunch party in Nairobi. This practice was banned in 1963, but is still in use in some homes around the country.

newyorker:

In Guillaume Bonn’s remarkable photographic essay “Silent Lives,” the relationships between members of Kenya’s white, Asian, and affluent black communities and their black servants are vividly and disquietingly examined.

As Bonn writes, “For a large number of Kenyans, employment as domestic servants underline the seismic disparities in a country where over fifty percent of the population live on less than a dollar a day while others reside in stately homes and colonial estates.” Bonn knows all about such awkward social dichotomies, for he is a product of them—he is a white African, whose great-grandfather took part in the French military conquest of Madagascar in 1884-86 and then settled there. Bonn’s grandfather was born in Africa, as was his father, and so was he. Bonn grew up mostly in Kenya.

For a long time, Bonn said, he thought about doing a project on nannies. “I often wondered, all these years, what had happened to all the ones my parents had hired to take care of me when I was a kid. I realized that I knew nothing about them, and I barely remembered their names, where they came from and what their personal stories were.

…the employers and employees in this series [exist] in uneasily close proximity to one another, intimately bound but forever distant.
