Episode 1: Jenna and Caroline discuss the pilot of Six Feet Under, in which patriarch Nathaniel Fisher, owner of

Fisher & Sons Funeral Home, is hit and killed by a bus, throwing his family into emotional chaos as they attempt to

deal with their grief.

This episode of State of the Arts NYC we have Lucy Sexton, Executive Director of the Bessie Awards and Heather

Robles, Managing Director of the Bessie Awards. We talk the day before their press conference about the history of

the awards, its impact on the world of dance in New York City but beyond in our downtown Brooklyn studio.

Gallery talk with Leonardo Drew, Savona Bailey-McClain, and Brooke Kamin Rapaport in conjunction with the artist's

solo exhibition on view now at Galerie Lelong & Co., New York.

Savona Bailey-McClain is Executive Director/Chief Curator of the West Harlem Art Fund, which has organized highprofile

public arts exhibits throughout New York City for the past twenty years, including Times Square, DUMBO,

Soho, Governors Island and Harlem. She is also host/producer of the weekly radio program "State of the Arts NYC."

Brooke Kamin Rapaport is the Director and Martin Friedman Senior Curator, Mad. Sq. Art, at Madison Square Park

Conservancy. She is responsible for the outdoor public sculpture program of commissioned work by contemporary

artists. In addition to her work as a juror and moderator on issues surrounding contemporary art, Rapaport is a

contributing editor and writer for Sculpture magazine, serves on the Board of Directors of Socrates Sculpture Park in

Long Island City, and as Vice President of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation.

Drew spoke to the New York Times on the occasion of his new installation, City in the Grass, at Madison Square Park:

"Brooke is daring, and that's why she will ask artists to realize outdoor works when they're not outdoor-work artists. It

does take a leap of faith. She's there before you're there."
