Curatorial Statement

Stories untold often just need space to be heard, felt, seen and more importantly, experienced. Making space is taking space. “Third spaces” are the kind DSCo holds conversation in. These exist as syncretic hubs, embracing a variety of identities and fostering interest. Championing intersectionality, [ ] gives space to a community with a ring of its own.

Dismantled Supply Co. presents to you, [ ] .

Kate Gordon’s studio practice focuses on painting in the expanded field, sourcing inspiration from pop-up books, dioramas, and collage. The dream imagery that Gordon mines aims to capture the strangeness of the waking world, which is often not as logical as it might at first appear. Gordon has shown her paintings, collages, and video works nationally; exhibitions include a site-specific installation “Alligator Naps” at the Hilliard Art Museum, curation into the Weatherspoon Art Museum’s “Art on Paper” exhibition, and an invitation to create a public video installation at Block 2, a visual platform for new media artists in Raleigh, NC. Most recent professional accomplishments include participation in Kolaj Institute’s Artist Residency in Scotland, curation into “Is This Too Much?”, a maximalist exhibition at Le Mieux Galleries, and inclusion in the “Louisiana Contemporary” exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Gordon currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Figure Drawing & Foundations at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She earned an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute.

Count Basie Orchestra
2025-10-17 20:00 | UNCG Auditorium, 408 Tate Street, Greensboro, NC, 27412, United States
In the history of Jazz, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold-out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, for nearly 40 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra, today directed by Scotty Barnhart, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once; won 18 Grammy Awards; performed for Kings, Queens, and other world Royalty; appeared in several movies and television shows; and at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world.

The most recent honor is a 2024 Grammy Win of Best Large Jazz Ensemble for Basie Swings the Blues! Other honors include their 2022 Grammy Nomination for Live at Birdland, a 2018 Grammy Nomination for All About That Basie, which features special guests Stevie Wonder, Jon Faddis, and Take 6 among others, and the 2018 Downbeat Readers Poll Award as the #1 Jazz Orchestra in the world. Their critically acclaimed release in 2015 of A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas! is the very first holiday album in the 80-year history of the orchestra. Released on Concord Music, it went to #1 on the Jazz charts and sold out on Amazon! Special guests include vocalists Johnny Mathis, Ledisi, our own Carmen Bradford, and pianist Ellis Marsalis.

A BBC TV-produced documentary on Mr. Basie and the orchestra titled Count Basie: Through His Own Eyes premiered on PBS in the US and UK in 2019 coinciding with the orchestra’s 85th Anniversary. It features interviews by Quincy Jones, Scotty Barnhart, Dee Askew, John Williams, and several other important members and associates of Mr. Basie and the orchestra.

Some of the greatest soloists, composers, arrangers, and vocalists in jazz history such as Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Frank Foster, Thad Jones, Sonny Payne, Freddie Green, Snooky Young, Frank Wess, and Joe Williams, became international stars once they began working with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra. This great 18-member orchestra is continuing the excellent history started by Basie of stomping and shouting the blues, as well as refining those musical particulars that allow for the deepest and most moving of swing.

Current members include one musician hired by Basie himself: trombonist Clarence Banks (1984). Long-time members include Doug Miller (1989, formerly w/Lionel Hampton), guitarist Will Matthews from Kansas City (1996), and members who have 15-25 years of service; trombonist Mark Williams, trumpeters Shawn Edmonds and Endre Rice, saxophonists Doug Lawrence (formerly w/Benny Goodman) and returning on lead alto, David Glasser. Newer members include bassist Trevor Ware, lead trumpeter Frank Greene III, trumpeter Brandon Lee, pianist Reginald Thomas, lead trombonist Isrea Butler, bass trombonist Ronald Wilkins, alto sax and flute Stantawn Kendrick, and the youngest members, drummer Robert Boone and baritone saxophonist Josh Lee.

In addition to public presentations, artists in the UCLS series have important interactions with UNCG students, such as holding masterclasses, talkback sessions, and seminars, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to a grant from The Cemala Foundation, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.
