The Chronicle

Nasher exhibits work from Triangle-based artists Francis Curiel The Chronicle What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of art? Is it Warhol? Picasso?

Banksy, even? Art often summons the idea of untouchable icons––praised for being ahead of their time––or big names in New York’s art district. But this idea neglects the incredible talent within local communities: some of the very best work can be found right around the corner. All Duke students have to do is open our eyes to the “artists next door.” Starting Jan. 24, the Nasher Museum of Art will open its Area 919 exhibition to both Duke students and the general public. This showcase promises to be as vibrant and diverse as the city itself, solely featuring artists who live in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle area. Area 919 includes works from artists already recognized in today’s art world, as well as works from those newer to the scene.

“Area 919 is a collective effort,” Reneé Cagnina Haynes, Exhibitions and Publications Manager for the Nasher Museum of Art, said over email. “The Museum’s curatorial department spent several months reviewing the work of local artists, and studio visits were conducted with many of them.”

Through Apr. 12, students will have the opportunity to get to know the work of local artists Jeff Bell, Casey Cook, André Leon Gray, Lincoln Hancock with Yuxtapongo, Harrison Haynes, George Jenne, Stacey L. Kirby, Lavar Munroe, Damian Stamer, Bill Thelen, Hong-An Truong, Stacy Lynn Waddell and Jeff Whetstone.

“Many of the artists in the exhibition already have a connection to our programs, exhibitions, and collection,” Haynes said.

“Bringing their work together under one roof with each other seemed like the next​obvious step. It creates an interesting new dialogue for

not only them, but also for the viewing public.”

Since Area 919 includes artists of varying career levels, perspectives and media, Haynes believes the exhibition will “reveal the range and diversity of the Triangle’s every-growing artistic community.”

The works of both Stacy Lynn Waddell and Jeff Whetstone are already a part of the museum’s permanent collection. According to Haynes, Whetstone has also “participated in gallery talks, contributed to the Nasher’s blog and teaches from the museum’s exhibitions.”

Harrison Haynes, a Durham native, is also no stranger to the Nasher, having participated in the museum’s touring exhibition, The Record: Contemporary Art & Vinyl.

“To bring them [local artists] all together and in dialogue with one another for the first time is quite exciting,” Haynes said. “We hope that viewers will discover something new and specific to the region through this exhibition, and that the artists themselves will walk away with new ideas, “Yuri M.” by Bill Thelen | Special to the Chronicle opportunities, and a fresh sense of community.”

The Chronicle

Valentine’s Day jazz concert promises romance Drew Haskins Local Arts Editor Feb. 13, the Duke University Jazz Ensemble will join ensembles from North Carolina Central University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill to perform a joint concert celebrating the year’s most romantic holiday. The concert series, which first began in 2004, celebrates its eleventh anniversary this year with a performance in Baldwin Auditorium.

In previous years, the list of songs performed at the concert has included classic standards of the American Songbook, like Kurt Weill’s “Mack the Knife” and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s “My Funny Valentine,” as well as lesser-known pieces such as Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “A Felicidade” and Horace Silver’s “Summer in Central Park.” The themes of the compositions have covered the various aspects of love—the danger, the giddiness, the tranquility and the heartbreak. This year’s slate of music should prove to be thematically similar to years past. Listening to all of this sensual jazz should be enticing to students and community members alike as a potential Valentine’s Day date.

The concert series not only involves a repertoire of romantic music, but it also facilitates a kind of romance––or a friendly relationship, at least––between the three traditionally rival universities playing in the joint concert. Setting aside historical enmity, the universities instead jointly direct their energies toward promoting the arts and celebrating the romantic holiday.

Through the eleven years the concert has existed, people throughout the Research

Special to the Chronicle

Triangle area have been able to experience the three schools’ jazzy solidarity. After all, it would be difficult to find a better day than Valentine’s Day to reconcile differences and forget about past antagonisms.

“The concert moves from school to school, giving each a chance to be the host,” said Duke University Music Department publicist Elizabeth Thompson in a press release provided to the Chronicle.

Last year’s concert was held at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and next year’s will be held at North Carolina Central University.

In hewing to tradition, the three ensembles will each perform a set, then join together for a grand finale where all of the groups will play a few songs with each other.

Duke’s ensemble, led by noted professor and jazz scholar John Brown, will be the first group to perform.

As Thompson notes, the concert comes “at a time of the year where sports rivalries are often very high.” This year is no exception.

The concert will take place just five days before the Duke men’s basketball team takes on UNC in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“I’ll go to the concert regardless of who is playing,” said Duke senior Nathan Prabhu.

“I’ll be cheering for Duke in the game, obviously, but I would not be a bad Blue Devil if I went to go support an art I enjoy immensely.”

Despite the inherent tension between the two campuses, Duke students are willing to make concessions and listen to UNC’s noted jazz performing ensemble.

“UNC sucks. But jazz is awesome,” continued Prabhu. “I think it is an underappreciated genre of music by people our age, and I cannot wait to bring some of my close friends to the concert.”

From the World to Lynn: Stories of Immigration Sid Gopinath Playground Editor “Can you hear it?” I asked, looking at Andrea Patiño as she listened to her exhibit.

She focused a little bit, narrowing her eyes at the encased iPad in front of her.

“Yeah…but it’s really quiet.” She took the headphones off and set them back down. “Okay. That’s a good thing to know.”

I waited a little bit, not wanting to distract her from making a mental note of a possible improvement in her exhibit. Her care and attention to detail were apparent.

“Okay. Anyway!” she said, laughing.

We were walking through From the World to Lynn: Stories of Immigration, a new multi-media exhibit at the Center for Documentary Studies created by Patiño based on her

experiences with immigrants in the Massachusetts city of Lynn. It chronicles the stories of five immigrants and refugees in the city. Earlier that week, we had chatted on the phone for some time as she gave me a description of her work and the exhibit. Now, we were both walking through the exhibit for the first time.

Patiño, one of the Center’s Lewis Hine Fellows, graduated from Duke in 2012 and was in Lynn for about 10 months as part of her work for the fellowship. As a Hine Fellow, she was paired up with the non-profit Raw Art Works in Lynn. She also worked on an independent project, which became From the World to Lynn.

“I was always interested in immigration,” she explained over the phone. “As an immigrant myself, it’s been something that I was always fascinated by. I became very interested in that idea and reached out to a few resettlement agencies and stated interviewing people.”

The exhibit, which spans two floors at the Center,

contains stark, black and white portraits mounted on the walls, audio listening stations and iPad stations to look at the interactive website.

At one point, I asked Patiño why she chose such an array of mediums to tell her story.

“I wanted to have the portraits displayed with audio in a way that you could look at the person and hear that person talking,” she explained. “I recorded audio because I wanted them to be the ones that were telling the story.”

And, honestly, the exhibit feels very much like how she described it over the phone. Deeply personal, close-up shots greet visitors to the exhibit. Each of the five people that Patiño interviewed has their own little section of the exhibit. In the area for Antonio, an immigrant from El Salvador that entered the country as an unaccompanied minor, emotionally charged pictures show him at work in a taqueria. Even though the photos are in black and white, or perhaps because they are in black and white, the emotion within each photo is vivid and powerful.

Iraqi refugees huddled together in an office seem to say so much more when paired with the story of a mother whose son, a translator for the coalition forces in Iraq, was murdered. The story of the gently smiling man becomes more powerful when he speaks of his grandmother as his best friend, even though he was never able to meet her in person.

While I tried to soak in all of the details on display, Patiño seemed to be everywhere at once, even while we were talking. She described the pictures to me as her eyes swept over her work. After she recalled an Iraqi woman whose husband and three kids were killed, prompting her to leave the country, she leaned back against the wall.

“A lot of the Iraqi stories were really hard,” she said quietly.

I paused, not knowing what to say.

“You’re there, and you’re empathetic, of course,” she continued. “But there’s just no way you will ever understand some of the pain that some of these stories carry.”

In that moment, I realized how much Patiño has carried with her as she tells these intensely moving and tragic stories. Somehow, her optimism shines through.

She speaks dearly and lovingly of these immigrants and refugees, expressing hope for their futures and describing how much joy they brought to their communities.

Patiño also told the story of Lynn. Among the 90,000 citizens of Lynn, almost 30% are foreign-born. A city that used to be very important for shoe-manufacturing, it declined in population after World War II. Now, General Electric and a few shoe-manufacturing companies still reside in the town. For the most part, though, it has remained a “refugee hub,” where many immigrants and refugees stop on their way into the United States. Pairing this big-picture view of the city with the deeply personal

stories of five immigrants and refugees gives viewers to the exhibit two powerful, contrasting experiences.

Although it is clear that Patiño still wants to tidy up a few things in the exhibit, it seemed like a very complete and compelling story to me. As I put on my coat, I asked her if she wishes she could have done anything differently.

“I wish I could have had more stories featured. More material,” she replied.

I mention that it’s always easy to want more time. She shrugs.

“Yeah. But I think by the time I figured

out what I wanted more or less, or at least the concept, I would have liked more time.”

Patiño smiled as she shook my hand. I walked to the door, expecting to see her packing up too, but she turned back to the exhibit. When she saw me looking, she smiled again.

“I’ll spend a little bit more time here.”
