Announcing the 2011 Pew Fellows
Philadelphia, PA—The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Pew Fellowships in the Arts (PFA) announced the names of 12 new Pew Fellows, each of whom will receive a $60,000 award. This year’s recipients, including four first-time applicants to the program, work in a wide variety of artistic disciplines, ranging from painting and installation to set design, to architecture and poetry, among others. They include a self-taught poet, who creates “(Soma)tic poetry,” exercises which include instructions and recipes that invite the reader-listener into deeply embodied experiences; an improvisational musician and composer who produces music solely on a vintage Buchla Music Easel synthesizer; and an architect who bases his designs around sustainability and more efficient ways of constructing affordable housing, to name but a few.
The 2011 Pew Fellows in the Arts are:
Charles Cohen (electronic musician and composer)
CAConrad (poet)
Jorge Cousineau (set designer)
Joy Feasley (visual artist)
Chris Forsyth (guitarist and composer)
Jane Irish (visual artist)
Tania Isaac (choreographer)
Pattie McCarthy (poet)
Brian Phillips (architect)
Tim Portlock (visual artist)
Matthew Suib (visual artist)
Jamaaladeen Tacuma (free-jazz bassist, composer, and band leader)
