This week: John Outterbridge and Paul Cummins
John Outterbridge – John Outterbridge has been called a “pivotal archeologist and architect” of the African-based aesthetic. A revered and well-known artist, he is also emblematic of Los Angeles art, where he was Director of the Watts Towers Cultural Center for more than 17 years. John’s art is currently being celebrated as part of Pacific Standard Time, an unprecedented collaboration of cultural institutions across Southern California coming together to celebrate the birth of the L.A. art scene. Our own Rebecca Novick met John Outterbridge at his Los Angeles studio, where stories and jazz music were served up.
Paul Cummins – Paul Cummins is Executive Director of New Visions Foundation, founder of the New Roads School, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy, and the Center for Educational Opportunity. He also founded and served as headmaster of Crossroads School and founded P.S. Arts. Tim Carpenter talks to Paul Cummins about his new book, LOVE AND SQUALOR: MUSINGS ON CULTURE, LITERATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. To order the book, click here.
