Utah Cultural Events and Information

 

1) Landscape: Shaken Gently With a Twist

 

Art Access Gallery is pleased to present Landscape: Shaken Gently With a Twist, a thoughtful look at landscape by 10 diverse Utah artists. Opening on Friday, March 19 with a reception from 6 to 9 pm, the show will hang through April 9.

 

Beautiful landscapes have long enthralled artists. Through out art history, artists have attempted to capture the beauty of the land, with varying success. In Utah, we have spectacular mountains, desert terrain and red rock country, thus inspiring some of Utahs best landscape painters.

 

We thought it might be interesting, however, to take a look at a slightly different point of view in regard to nature. Thus we invited the following innovative artists who are known for their different interpretations of landscape and their ability to look beyond the obvious.

 

Marina Alexandrescu, Daniel Barney, Roxanne Bartel, Jason Jones, Liza Julien, Lenka Konopasek, Steven Larson, Beth Miklavic, Carol Sogard and Anne Vinsel.

 

Media in the exhibit will take the form of painting, drawing, cutting edge construction, collage, quilting and digital photography. Artists will look at landscape through the eyes of fantasy, war, environmental concerns and natural disaster. One of the artists will consider the effects of radioactivity on the Southern Utah desert through the device of glowing orange rabbits.

 

Art Access Gallery is located at 230 S 500 W in Salt Lake City. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10AM to 6PM.

2) Utah Outsider Artists Create Outside of the Mainstream

 

Art Access II Gallery is pleased to host Outside is In, a stimulating group exhibit of Utah outsider artists. This show will open on Friday, March 19 from 6 to 9 pm and hang through April 9. Nine artists who work outside of the mainstream will be featured: Radford Cuch, Kaziah Hancock, Marcee Blackerby, Jos Hernandez, Bob Moss, Carole Alden, Peter Scott Stone, Jesse James Whitfield and GUTS4.

 

The phrase outsider art has been in use since the 1970s when French artist Jean Dubuffet used the phrase art brute, meaning raw art. Outsider art conveys powerful emotions of joy and anger and often conveys humor. Recognizable names to many who follow outsider art are: Henry Darger, a Chicago janitor and dishwasher who needed to make pictures and write long stories in order to make sense of his world and Howard Finster, a preacher from Summerville, Georgia who claimed to be inspired by God as he created over 46,000 pieces of art.

 

Exhibit artists are: Carole Alden who is currently serving a prison term. Her precise embroidery is indicative of both her long-developed patience and angst at being behind bars. Jos Hernandez, a young Hispanic man, also was in prison, and didnt have art materials, so he used the elastic from his underwear to create macram crosses and necklaces.

 

Other artists are: Bob Moss, a high school dropout, who has taught himself woodcarving and the Deseret Alphabet; Kaziah Hancock, a former polygamist wife who raises goats in Manti and taught herself to paint and draw; Peter Scott Stone a self-taught artist who has autism and GUTS4, a graffiti artist, who will tag one of the gallery walls just before the exhibit opens. 

 

Self-taught Jesse James Whitfield paints because his bottled up expression finally erupted in a creative burst, resulting in a deluge of artistic productivity. Whitfields aunt, Marcee Blackerby, also marches to her own drummer, finding materials for her unique artistic vision from garage sales, second- hand stores and eBay. Radford Cuch, a Ute, learned his traditional bead-making craft from tribal elders and then developed his own artistic take on the craft by beading on paper and drawing with ink.

 

Art Access II Gallery is located at 230 South 500 West in SLC. Regular gallery hours are M – F, 10 to 6.

4) Artisan Eggshell Carvings on Display at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center

 

WHAT:              The UCCC proudly presents an art display of uniquely designed and intricately hand carved eggshells of all types.  Local artist Brian Baity creates works of art from quail eggs to ostrich eggs, many winning awards throughout the state and more.

 

WHEN:             March 23 – April 29, 2010

                        Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. or by arrangement

 

WHERE:          Utah Cultural Celebration Center

                        1355 West 3100 South

                        WVC, UT 84119

 

WHO:               Everyone is invited to come see the egg carving exhibit free of charge.

 

WHY:                Over the last year carving specialist Brian Baity has created many fine works of art, including a carved ostrich egg commemorating the 150th anniversary of Vermillion, South Dakota, now on permanent display in Vermillions City Hall.  Last year West Valley City, Utah commissioned Brian to carve a special gift for Sister City Boca del Rio, Vera Cruz, Mexico.  Brian is currently creating a multiple piece display which will be part of the tenth year celebration of the Lan Su Yuan Chinese Garden in Portland, Oregon. Some of these Chinese garden pieces will first be shown with this exhibit at UCCC.

 

Last year Brian received an award from the Best of State program for his contributions to Art in Utah.

 

Brian also contributes his works to local charities.  In 2008, he donated original art to the TAO Project – an Afghanistan Orphanage Project, and another piece to CHC (Community Health Centers Incorporated).  In November of 2009, Brian donated a $1500 piece to the Salt Lake Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and this year has chosen the Huntsman Cancer Center as the recipient organization for his contributions.

 

What others are saying:

 

"Brian has accomplished indescribable feats I have not seen any one else do.  He has stretched egg carving to almost impossible levels.  I have not seen anyone push the limits of an eggshell Like Brian has."

                                                                                                             – Tamaree Littlefield, Profitable Hobbies, President

 

"The geometric designs Brian creates on an uneven canvas strike me as unbelievable. Especially on such a delicate subject like the eggshell.  No one in the world designs eggs like Brian does."

                                                

      Dr. Lew Jensen, Inventor of the Paragraving Tool Brian uses for his art

6) Salt Lake Symphony Presents "From Caesar to the Gods!"

 

The Salt Lake Symphony will present a concert titled From Caesar to the Gods! on Saturday, March 27 at 7:30 pm at Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the University of Utah campus. Led by music director Robert Baldwin, the orchestra will perform three formidable works. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Advance tickets are available by calling 801-531-7501 and will be available at the door.

 

The concert begins with Edward Elgars rousing Empire March, a recently discovered work written in 1924. Second on the program is Mozarts Symphony no. 41 Jupiter, the composers last and arguably most complex symphony that is widely recognized as an enduring masterpiece. The programs finale is the colorful and dramatic The Pines of Rome by Ottorino Respighi, which depicts various locations of pine trees in the city at different times of day, including the busy and playful Villa Borghese, the subterranean catacombs, the temple of Janus at night and the great Appian Way.

 

Dr. Baldwin will share some of the flavors of the music to be performed and its cultural influences, in his pre-concert talk, part of a series of free discussions funded in part by the Utah Humanities Council. The discussion will take place in Room 270 of Libby Gardner Hall beginning at 6:15 pm on March 27, prior to the evenings concert.

8) Utah Shakespearean Festivals Wild West Shrew Performs at Salt Lake Community College

 

Who:

The Utah Shakespearean Festival (300 W. Center Street, Cedar City, UT)

National Endowment for the Arts: Shakespeare in American Communities

 

What:

The Taming of the Shrew the annual Utah Shakespearean Festival Shakespeare-In-The-Schools Tour

 

When:

March 24 and 25 at 11 a.m.

 

Where:

Salt Lake Community College (1575 S. State St., SLC, UT)

 

 The Utah Shakespearean Festivals Wild West production of William Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew, will perform at Salt Lake Community College on March 24 and 25 at 11 a.m. The performance is FREE. Reservations are needed for groups of 10 or larger.  If your groups is smaller, just come and enjoy!

 

For more information call 801-957-3322 or visit www.slcc.edu    

 

This production is sponsored by the Arts and Cultural Events (ACE) committee, the Fine Arts and English Departments of SLCC.

 

I am eager for this production of Shrew because I believe that the Old West setting will give this play particular relevance for the students, said Festival Education Director Michael Bahr. The story fits so well within this time period.

 

From January to April, the Shakespeare-in-the-Schools touring production of Shrew will spend 12 weeks on the road visiting four western states. There will be a total of 50 performances that will be seen by more than 30,000 students and community members at schools and community centers across Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho. For a complete tour schedule call 435-586-7880 or visit www.bard.org/tour.

 

Audiences that see this production will be presented with a representation of the untamed Old West. Director Jan Shelton Hunsaker says this will be a fast-paced production that will be colorful and larger than life. The vaudevillesque production will feature shootouts, chase scenes, and old-fashioned melodrama.

 

I think kids will identify with the Wild West theme because they are at a time in their lives when they are discovering who they are and breaking through personal frontiers, said Hunsaker. They will be connected to it because it is fast-paced, non-stop fun.

 

During her work as a drama teacher over the past 20 years, Hunsaker has observed that most students tune-out when a class begins to study Shakespeare. It is her hope that this production will give students a new frame of reference for Shakespeare studies that will open the door to being educated and entertained by Shakespeare.

 

For many this will be their only exposure to a professional presentation of Shakespeare, said Hunsaker. My hope is that this production will win over a life-long audience as the students begin to understand the incredible depth of Shakespeare.

 

Hunsaker believes that Shrew is a good choice for junior high and high school students because it deals with a subject that is universally important for teens.

 

Students are very concerned with the battle of the sexes in high school, said Hunsaker. All teens are making discoveries about male and female relationships at this point in their lives.

 

 Hunsaker also believes that the concept will appeal to students because everything in their world is fast-paced.

 

  The production will be a rollercoaster ride for audiences just like the Wild West movies and video games that students enjoy, said Hunsaker. Love is the biggest game of all, and this is a great setting for the ultimate battle of the sexes. I think it will demonstrate how far women have come.

 

Each year, the Festival creates a production of a Shakespeare classic to visit communities across four western states. The 10-person touring group serves as both the acting company and technical crew for each production, with seven actors, a stage manager, technical director, and company manager. The group also works with students in workshops ranging from stage combat to Shakespearean text.

 

In this production of Shrew the characters are taming the west as well as each other, said Bahr. Shakespeares story has a lot to say about the struggle of men and women as they face brave new worlds and new ideas.

 

Hunsaker believes that the key message of Shrew is how people should treat each other, an important message for students.

9) Awaiting - A durational performance on the steps of the Utah State Capitol

 

Awaiting, a 12-hour silent group performance on the South Stairs of the Utah State Capitol will take place on April 8, 2010 as a collaboration between visiting artist Ernesto Pujol, University students, and artists from Utah.

 

Internationally known performance artist Ernesto Pujol is the first Visiting Artist for the Department of Art & Art History in the College of Fine Arts, thanks to a new Marva and John Warnock Endowed Art Residency Program at the University of Utah. Pujol is teaching a unique workshop leading to a large-scale group performance along the south steps of the Utah State Capitol. His durational piece will last 12 hours, from sunset to sunrise. Pujol is creating it in collaboration with University visual arts and modern dance students, and Utah artist Rosi Hayes, who is designing a soundtrack for his meditative piece.

 

Ernesto Pujols interdisciplinary performance practice is influenced by German choreographer Pina Bauschs exploration of cities, American writer Rebecca Solnits reflections on walking, Zen Buddhist notions of consciousness, and contemporary conceptual arts site-specific exploration of landscape and architecture. The artist chose the Utah State Capitol because of its monochromatic beauty, emblematic quality, and vertical monumentality. The 12-hour meditative piece promises to slowly draw a space-within-the-space, temporarily creating an ephemeral field for individual reflections on the regional theme of waiting.

 

A durational piece manifests the slow passage of time, not only on the body of the performer and the natural landscape, but on the audience. In fact, the audience forms its permeable urban cloister wall, the outer circle of the performance, completing it with their own patient, silent thoughts as they witness it, says Pujol.

 

Awaiting will begin in the late afternoon, mixing itself with the citys rush hour traffic. Silent individual walkers in contemporary secular white clothing will appear throughout the city and may be followed by pedestrians. The performers will gather quietly at the foot of the South Stairs before sunset for a moment of stillness, and then begin a long silent evening, ascending and descending the State Capitols many steps, turning them into a great biblical Jacobs ladder. Docents will be available to answer questions from passersby. The event is free to the public, which is encouraged to see the beginning of the piece at 6:00 PM, visit it throughout the night, and return to witness its silent ending at 7:00 AM, when the performers will walk back into the city, disappearing humbly.

 

Pujol is still recruiting artists, dancers, and creative individuals to participate in the performance. He will be holding two three-day training workshops in early March. Those interested in participating can contact the project at: awaitinginsaltlakecity@gmail.com

10)  "Eurydice" a girl. a boy. a backward glance...the rest is history

 

By Sarah Ruhl

 

Eurydice will be making its Utah debut this March at The Grand Theatre. Sarah Ruhl, one of Americas finest and most produced young playwrights, focuses this unique reinvention of the Greek myth, Orpheus and Eurydice, using an innovative perspective. The myth's lush themes of love, death, memory, beauty, and the question of life after death perpetuate throughout this modern adaptation. However, Ruhl, who dedicates the play to the memory of her father, shifts the focus to the heroine, Eurydice, who ultimately struggles with the realities of love for her new husband along with the love she has for her father.

 

Eurydice dies on her wedding night and is taken to the underworld by way of a raining elevator. She is welcomed by a chorus of stones, who try to educate her on the rules of the underworld. Throughout her journey in the underworld, she is also met by her deceased father, who reminds Eurydice of her previous life with her family and husband, Orpheus. Using the beauty of his music, Orpheus descends to the underworld to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living.

 

The end result is the same as the myth, but the audience gets to experience a new and different viewpoint. Ruhl's unusual script includes characters like the Nasty/Interesting Man and Lord of the Underworld, who arrives on a scooter, along with a contemporary Greek chorus of Loud Stone, Little Stone, and Big Stone.

 

This regional premiere will also interweave the music, which debuted with Eurydice's New York premiere, of composer, Toby Twining. Twining received a 2008 Barrymore Award for his atonal and ethereal compositions.

 

Cast includes: Stephanie Ogden, Scott Bahlmann, Steve Williams, Dan Larrinaga, Holly Brathwaite, Joe Crinch, and Ileana Kovaskalya

 

This story has some of the subliminal potency of music, the head-scratching surprise of a modernist poem and the cockeyed allure of a surrealist painting. Its pretty funny, too.  - NY Times

 

Play dates: March 9-20, 2010

Times: Evening performances 7:30pm (no Sundays), Saturday matinees 2:00pm

Location: The Grand Theatre, 1575 South State Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84115

Tickets: Prices range from $8.00 to $24.00 with discounts for groups, seniors, and students available.

 

Reservations: 801-957-3322 or online at www.the-grand.org

12) Abstractly Yours – Art by Sonya Dinsdale

 

Tin Angel Caf: 365 West 400 South, Salt Lake City Utah, 801-328-4155

Every good painter paints what he is. – Jackson Pollock

 I am a Utah artist, but dont expect landscape paintings! Many of my fellow artists from the Beehive State paint the majestic natural world that surrounds us: canyons, deserts, vistas, mountains. If you look at a landscape, you may be impressed with the artists technique. You may even be overcome by the same sense of awe and wonder youd get from looking at the natural world instead of a depiction on canvas.

 

 My art depicts things that cant be seen, things like emotions, memories, dark corners of the human soul. After you walk around and experience physical beauty in the world, come experience something totally different by losing yourself in my work. Not only will you see my visions, you may begin to experience your own.

13) The Utah Symphony Welcomes Maestro Christopher Seaman and Violinist Will Hagen

 

The evening will feature Elgars Second Symphony, Bruchs First Violin Concerto and Wagners Prelude to Die Meistersinger

 

Guest conductor Christopher Seaman leads the Utah Symphony and 17-year old Utah native, Will Hagen, in Bruchs Concerto No. 1 for Violin in G Minor. The program also includes Elgars Second Symphony in E-flat Major as well as Wagners Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nrnberg. The performances will be held at Abravanel Hall on Friday, March 26 and Saturday, March 27 at 8:00 pm. 

 

The program opens with Wagners Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nrnberg, which comes from the composers only comic opera, featuring themes associated with lovers. Next, Hagen joins the orchestra for Bruchs First Violin Concerto featuring intense lyricism, dark passion and a romantic second movement. The evening concludes with Elgars Second Symphony, which was allegedly inspired by Beethovens Eroica Symphony. Elgar described the piece as the passionate pilgrimage of a soul.

 

Christopher Seaman is in his eleventh season as Music Director of the Rochester Philharmonic, where he has been credited for broadening the orchestras audience base and, in particular, for his creation of the lecture series Symphony 101, which recently won an ASCAP award. Appointed Artistic Advisor of the San Antonio Symphony, Mr. Seaman previously served a ten-year tenure as music director of the Naples Philharmonic in Florida, and prior to that as conductor-in-residence of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (1987-1998). Sought-after as a guest conductor throughout the world, Mr. Seaman has appeared with orchestras in North America, Israel, Eastern Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, as well as in his native Great Britain, where he has served as Principal Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony and the Northern Sinfonia.

 

His recordings include performances with the Royal Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra of Britain. In 1990 he collaborated with Anne Akiko Meyers and the Royal Philharmonic for a recording of the Barber Violin Concerto and Bruchs Violin Concerto No. 1. Recently, he has released a recording of works by Tchaikovsky with pianist Olga Kern, as well as a recording of works by Rachmaninov with Jon Nakamatsu, both for the Harmonia Mundi label. Both of these recordings were performed with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and received considerable critical acclaim.

 

After studying at Kings College, Cambridge, Mr. Seaman began his career as a member of the London Philharmonic. Within four years, he had moved in front of the podium as assistant conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony in Glasgow. He has since appeared exclusively as a conductor. In May 2009 he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Musical Arts by the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY.

 

At just 17 years of age, Will Hagen is quickly emerging as one of the most talented violinists of his generation. A native of Utah, he began violin lessons at the age of four. Following initial studies with Natalie Reed and Deborah Moench, Will entered the studio of Robert Lipsett at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. For the past six years, he has been traveling to Los Angeles each week for lessons, where he has also participated in master classes with artists such as Pinchas Zukerman and Joseph Silverstein. In 2008, he was awarded a grant from the Ahmanson Foundation for promising young artists.

 

Already a seasoned performer, Will first soloed with orchestra when he was nine years old and has since enjoyed numerous solo engagements with ensembles across the country. Recent and upcoming performances include his debuts with the Saint Louis Symphony, the Albany (New York) Symphony, an appearance with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra on NPR's From the Top, a return engagement with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, and (following 6 prior performances) his subscription debut with the Utah Symphony.

 

In addition to his solo performances, Will has appeared at festivals including the Aspen Music Festival and the ENCORE School for Strings. This summer he returns to Aspen and will also attend the National Arts Centres Summer Music Institute with Pinchas Zukerman.

15) Ballet West Pays Tribute To Master Choreographer George Balanchine With Balanchines America

 

Utah Premiere of AGON Highlights Dynamic Triple Bill

 

Ballet West celebrates 20th Century master choreographer George Balanchine, April 9, 10 and 14-17 at the Capitol Theatre with Balanchines America, a triple-bill of the great choreographers works – each one intimately linked to America. The program includes the Ballet West premiere of Agon, set to the music of Igor Stravinsky; his windswept Serenade, set to Tchaikovskys glorious score; and Stars & Stripes - Balanchines American salute to the marches of John Philip Souza. 

 

Ballet West has a long association with the works of George Balanchine, and I am excited to celebrate this history and introduce our audiences to more new works by arguably the greatest choreographer of the 20th century, said Ballet West Artistic Director Adam Sklute.

 

Opening the program is Serenade, the first ballet Balanchine created in the United States. Balanchines moonlit, windswept masterpiece is set to Tchaikovskys superb Serenade for Strings. Originating as a lesson in stage technique, Balanchine worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography. When one student fell, he incorporated it. Another day, a student arrived late, and this too became part of the ballet.  Filled with drama and passion, this wondrous work tells no story and many stories at the same time

 

In June 2008, Ballet West had the privilege of performing Serenade at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The Ballet West dancers were praised for their dancing, artistry, glamour and their height, which was noted to be as tall, majestic and inspiring as the mountain ranges of Utah. Of Ballet Wests performance, New York Times critic Alastair Macaulay wrote, Serenade' shone through enough for you to lose yourself in its kaleidoscope of classical patterns and romantic dramas. Sarah Kaufman of The Washington Post remarked, It was a clean, honest production. The dancershad a highly physical presence that lent 'Serenade' a hint of glamour.

 

The program continues with the Utah premiere of Agon, the Greek word for contest. Featuring a score by Igor Stravinsky who based his music on early 17th century French court dances. Balanchine and Stravinsky together designed the structure of the ballet.

 

The terse angularity of Stravinskys genius score was commissioned here in America in the late 1950s, said Ballet West Artistic Director Adam Sklute. Paired with Balanchines chic neoclassical choreography, it epitomizes the glamour, strength and energy of America ballet dancers.

 

The program concludes with Stars & Stripes, a work that Ballet West last performed nearly 30 years ago – in 1981.  For all its exuberant patriotic touches, Stars and Stripes contains as much pure classical dancing from start to finish

 

Im looking forward to reviving Balanchines spectacular and rousing Stars and Stripes, said Sklute.  This work was created during a time of sheer optimism when his vision of classical ballet in America was truly coming into its own.

 

Stars & Stripes is divided into five "campaigns," each of which uses different Sousa themes. The fourth campaign is a pas de deux, variations and coda set to the "Liberty Bell" and "El Capitan" marches. When asked why he chose to choreograph a ballet to Sousa's marches, Balanchine replied, "Because I like his music."

 

The performances of Balanchines America will be accompanied by the Utah Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Terence Kern. Evening performances April 9, 10 and 14-17 begin at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on April 17 at 2:00 p.m.  Tickets range from $18 to $72. Single tickets are available through ArtTix at www.arttix.org, at any ArtTix Ticket Office, or by calling (801) 355-ARTS. Discounts are also available for groups of 15 or more by calling Ballet West, (801) 323-6900.

Ripple paints still-life scenes, often large scale works comprised of several panels. His recent works highlight the cyclical nature of life, focusing on the constant change that is found in nature.

Flowers, fruits and vegetables set against Ripples typical golden background pop vibrantly with realism.

 

Ripple was cited as one of the nations best still-life artists in fall 2007 American Arts Quarterly.

21) Check "ARTIST" When You Do the Census

 

All households in the nation will soon receive a Census form to fill out. Why should artists care? Because the Census always undercounts artists.

 

Because it's so tough to make a living as an artist, artists can have two or more jobs. So when they are asked by the census, "What is your profession?" they may answer something other than "artist."

 

When you fill out the census you will be given a choice as to how to describe yourself. Because many artists say "arts administrator" or "barista" instead of "artist," national statistics do not show the strength of the artist community in the country.

 

So, go ahead, call yourself the ARTIST you are. And make sure that you get counted as part of the Artist Nation.
