November 20 - 21, 2009 Fusionworks Dance Company offers the perfect experience for both the dance aficionado, who attends several performances each year, and the novice who has not yet seen live dance. Do you like to draw your own conclusions or would you rather have a peek into the process? No matter which kind of person you are Fusionworks offers the perfect performance experience for you. Join Fusionworks on Saturday evening for the extremely popular Unwrapped concert for the unabashedly curious. Deb Meunier will give you a behind-the-scenes peek at the entire concert process. Through introductions to each of the dances she explains the choreography, costumes, music and even technical information. If you would like to watch the dances and draw your own conclusions then Friday's traditional concert is a perfect fit for you. Each concert will feature the Rhode Island premiere of international choreographer Pascal Rioult's Wien danced to the music of Maurice Ravel. Faithful to Ravel's intentions, Wien is a fantastic and fatal swirling of tragic dimensions. The Viennese waltz, the very image of social refinement, becomes the symbol of a disintegrating society taken into a whirlpool of violence and humiliation. Wein has been performed across the globe and now Fusionworks will bring it to Rhode Island. Click here for more information. |

 Artists' Exchange"Creatures and Relics," Works from Two Emerging Artists
November 19 - December 31, 2009 Artists' Exchange is pleased to present "Creatures and Relics," a gallery show featuring the works of two up and coming artists, sculptor Christian Quijano and photographer Justin Lawrence Oliver. Artists' Exchange will open its gallery doors on Thursday, November 19, 2009 for an opening reception from 6 to 8 pm. Christian E. Quijano, of Smithfield, is a young artist with autism. He has been experimenting with many arts media since he was very young, developing a passion for working with clay from the age of two. Irma Rodriguez, Quijano's mother, says, "he can recreate in clay almost anything he sees with amazing details and in a very short period of time, at times in minutes." When he was six years old he made ten elephants, inspired by the friendly creatures he saw in "Dumbo." Quijano will be joined by photographer Justin Lawrence Oliver of Providence.. While his father was an avid travel photographer and had a darkroom in his basement, Oliver's interest in photography came in adulthood, springing from an interest specifically in documenting historically and culturally significant buildings in danger of demolition.

 RISD MuseumNature/Artifice: Contemporary Works from the Collection Tuesday, September 1 - February 28, 2010 The relationship between nature and artifice, reality and fiction, is central to a selection of contemporary paintings, sculpture, and video in the Museum's collection. In some cases, natural materials- a lemon, thistles, or rocks, for example -are placed in artful arrangements or altered to extend their significance. Conversely, manufactured materials-ranging from audiotape to flip-flop sandals-may be configured to resemble natural phenomena such as a cascading waterfall or the Caribbean Sea. A number of the featured works were acquired recently and are being exhibited for the first time. Click here for more information. |
 RISD MuseumIndonesia and the Zone of Attraction: Textiles from the Permanent Collection Tuesday, September 1 - Sunday, December 6, 2009 Selections from the Museum's permanent collection offer an investigation into Indonesia's acculturation of pan-Asian textile and clothing traditions.

Examples from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and other locations illustrate the nation's textile panoply and its significance within the society's rites and rituals and across its gender and hierarchical lines.

 RISD MuseumAvish Khebrehzadeh: Backyard and Other Stories Friday, October 30 - Sunday March 28th, 2010 Avish Khebrehzadeh's (Iranian, b. 1969) hand- drawn animations and large-scale drawings are praised for their poetic sensibility and dreamy, timeless atmosphere achieved through the most economical means. Their usual motifs-human figures performing simple activities, iconic animals, and excerpts of nature against neutral backgrounds-are made of elemental shapes which are softly drawn with just a pencil, olive oil, and resin. The artist's inspiration stems from childhood memories, everyday life, literature, and art history. The contemplative and somewhat mysterious nature of Khebrehzadeh's work allows for a variety of readings and invites the viewer's participation though his/ her own imagination. Along with the selection of Khebrehzadeh's single channel videos, the exhibition will include her work Backyard (2005/2006), large- scale video projection on a three panel drawing from the Museum collection.

The series Karst and Pseudokarst, 2005-2008, began with an image of a lava tube from West & West, which drew him to a rich exploration of dark and confined underground landscapes primarily in the states bordering the Great Plains.

 RISD/RISD MuseumCarey Young: Uncertain Contracts October 9, 2009 - April 18, 2010 Carey Young (British- American, b. 1970) explores current political, social and ethical issues by focusing on increased commercialization in both personal and public domains. Inspired by historical conceptual art movements and institutional critique strategies, this London- based artist investigates legal and corporate cultures, and appropriates their language in order to reveal their influence on our daily lives, as well as the art world. Commonly made through consultation and participation with various legal, sociological and corporate experts, Young's multidisciplinary works-videos, photography and installations- often depict the artist herself, and/or require the viewer's interaction. This exhibition features a selection of the artist's videos and works in other mediums, as well as her vinyl wall installation Declared Void (2005), recently acquired by the Museum.Carey Young: Uncertain Contracts Click here for more information. |
