R.E.M. Frontman Teaching University Class

10/14/2014
. (Radio.com) Former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe has taken on a new gig. He's currently an artist-in-residence and teacher-in-residence at New York University's Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions' "New Sights, New Noise" exhibit.

Per NYU, as part of the program, Stipe has established a fully functioning studio in the school's gallery at 80 Washington Square East, where he is working "for the duration of the exhibition on a series of new projects, across a wide range of media, during the hours that the gallery is closed to the public.

While the gallery is open, visitors will be able to see the state in which the studio has been left after each of Stipe's work sessions, making processes that are normally private public and offering a window into his "remarkably prolific, varied and non-hierarchical way of seeing, thinking and making." Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. Read more here.
