#387/Rudolph at the Met: Abraham Thomas + June Goldfinger + Kelvin Dickenson + Musical guest Chelsee Hicks with Wholly Cats Swing Club
Paul Rudolph's buildings, built and unbuilt, continue to inspire clients, annoy critics, and gain fame, even though he died in the mid-90’s. These days, though, it’s almost all smiles and admiration, and there’s an important exhibition of Rudolph’s work at the Metropolitan Museum in New York through March. Year round on certain days, however, you can visit Rudolph’s former office in New York, the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture, or PRIMA. And while you’re there, you can also see the late architect Myron Goldfinger’s traveling exhibition, Circle Square Triangle. Today we’ll talk with the curator of that Met exhibition, Abraham thomas, the Executive Director of PRIMA, Kelvin Dickinson, and the curator of Goldfinger’s exhibition, his partner and wife June Goldfinger. Later on, come out swinging with musical guests Chelsee Hicks and the Wholly Cats.

#383/Celebrity with Allison Martino + Bill Boggs / Columbus with Matt Shaw
Celebrities aren’t typically huge fans of Modernist architecture. Most prefer a 1930’s mansion or an Italianate villa.
