Jill Granoff Named to Eurazeo Executive Committee – WWD

Maria Grazia Chiuri paid tribute to the traditions of southern Italy with her elaborate @dior cruise spectacle, held in the center of Lecce.⁣ ⁣ Models dressed in fringed skirts, headscarves and embroidered dresses walked across the square in front of the Duomo cathedral, a masterpiece of Italian Baroque architecture, to the sound of a live orchestra and haunting chants, while dancers performed…

New installation in the Granoff for Atmospheres conference at Brown: A Hundred Thousand derives from a sound recording made in Botswana, on the evening of August 18th, 2015. It is one of hundreds of recordings I made while on an expedition through 1,500 miles of the Okavango river system (from "source to sand") with a multinational team of scientists and members of the regional Ba'Yei community in support of conservation, scientific, and environmental justice initiatives. Including the vocalizations of myriad insects, birds, amphibians, and large mammals, this recording demonstrates the remarkable natural distribution of different species into distinct frequency bands across the audio spectrum (a phenomenon labeled by Bernie Krause as the "niche hypothesis"). I have rescaled these frequencies to more precisely fit the range of human hearing, allowing us a hyperreal perspective of the stratified sonic territories. In addition, the sub-bass pulses along with my heartrate. This comes from a platform I constructed to collect continuous biometric data on all members of the expedition in an effort to situate any observations of the environment within the particularities of individual embodied experience. As the listener enters the installation, I hope to provoke a reflection on how a network of temporal relations imparts our sense of place and the polyrhythmic negotiation in which we are always implicated.

The conference: Each year, the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society sponsors an interdisciplinary program under the title of “Earth, Itself,” designed to stimulate conversations and collaborations across the natural and social sciences, humanities and the arts. On April 28-30, 2016, we present Atmospheres, on air, climate and the environment. We will explore such topics as atmospheric circulation and weather; air as habitat—insects and birds; air pollution and quality of air; and legislating, governing and controlling air. The arts practice is curated by Brown scholar and artist Ed Osborn.

Blackstone blitzkrieg

The Granoff proposal to split their land at Blackstone Boulevard and Rochambeau Avenue up into 12 lots (the two largest would include their fine old house built in 1915 and owned by the Granoffs since the ’60s) was rejected by the City Plan Commission last night. The vote had to take place last night because…

Character versus reputation

Last night’s City Plan Commission meeting over the fate of the Granoff estate pitted the Blackstone Neighborhood Association’s lawyer, Bill Landry, against the Granoff’s lawyer, Tom Moses, a former director of the city’s planning office. Does the law require more detail in the Granoff subdivision plan before the CPC can approve it? For now, the plan merely cuts the land into smaller parcels to be…
