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

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

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

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

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.

20) Art Insights: Still-Life Painter Jeffrey Ripple To Present
SUU
Department of Art and Designs weekly Art Insights program will feature painter
Jeffrey Ripple on Thursday, March 11, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sterling R.
Church Auditorium. Admission to Art Insights events is free, and the public is
encouraged to attend.
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. Ripple allows his still-life subjects
to wither and rot during his slow and meticulous creative process. A striking
feature of his paintings is their rich, luminous colors. 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. His works are exhibited regularly nationwide, and his artworks can
be found in several public collections, including the Philbrook Museum of Art
in Tulsa, OK, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, WI, and the

more information on the SUU College of Performing and Visual Arts events,
please call the Arts Hotline at (435) 865-8800, or visit www.suu.edu/arts.
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.
