COVER STORY
Homes for Art
Kurt Andersen and New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman talk about the perfect homes for the movies, concerts, and paintings we love and how these spaces influence our experience of the art.
 
The Noguchi Museum
Rumbling trucks and auto body shops aren't usually
a sign that world class art is just around the corner. But sculptor Isamu
Noguchi transformed the factory across the street from his studio in Queens,
New York into a permanent home for his eclectic work of granite sculptures,
elegantly designed coffee tables and iconic paper lamps. When the Noguchi
Museum re-opened after a 3-year renovation, we sent Studio 360's Michele
Siegel to explore.

Concert Halls
How do you bring music lovers back to live concerts
when they have a multitude of technological choices available to them
in the 21st century? One solution is to turn concert halls into architectural
wonders that demand to be experienced. Sara Fishko reports on the new
Frederick P. Rose Hall for Jazz at Lincoln Center that tries to give an
ephemeral medium a permanent home and Frank Gehry's Disney Hall in downtown
Los Angeles, where some complain the acoustics are too good.

Disco Rodeo
In Raleigh, North Carolina, an old rock and roll club refashioned itself as "Disco Rodeo" and became an epicenter for Mexican immigrants who love Norteno and Ranchero music. Hugely popular bands south of the boarder regularly make the journey up to the little club. The crowds may be smaller than the musicians are used to, but what they lack in size they make up for in appreciation and dedication. Leda Hartman has the story.

Robyn Hitchcock
Musical cult figure Robyn Hitchock stopped by our studio to talk about his collaboration with American folk artists Gillian Welch and David Rawlings on the new album Spooked. Hitchcock explains how a Bob Dylan record he heard at the age of 13 set him on a new course in life. Studio 360's Leital Molad had a similar experience at the same age - when she first heard Robyn Hitchcock.
