EXHIBITIONS

On view: September 11– December 23 Open Tuesday–Sunday, 12–5pm and Wednesdays, 12–8pm Neuberger Museum of Art Admission information page 44 This exhibition is organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York, and curated by Avis Larson, Assistant Curator.

Urban walls hold the history of a place. In our daily lives, we often pass them by unnoticed. For the artists in Post No Bills: Public Walls as Studio and Source, however, the beauty of decaying walls serves as an inspiration that informs their work.

This multimedia group exhibition features seven international artists who explore a contemporary archaeological aesthetic, making art on urban walls in which the wall itself becomes an integral part of the work. They often search for a particular surface, location, or history that directly speaks to them, places where the interaction between individuals and materials accumulate to create new meaning. The exhibition examines the fluid history of walls that have been layered with paint, posters, and different narratives over time and considers the ways in which artists move between the studio and the street. Artists BLU (Senigallia, Italy), Mark Bradford (Los Angeles), Burhan Dogançay (Turkey), José Carlos Martinat (Lima, Peru), José Parlá (Miami), JR (Paris), Robin Rhode (Cape Town), Vhils a.k.a. Alexandre Farto (Portugal), and Jacques Villeglé (Quimper, France) are each contributing to and capturing this unique and public narrative. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue.

During the summer of 1948 Ray Spillenger studied with Willem de Kooning and Josef Albers at Black Mountain College. This exhibition, including over forty paintings and drawings dating from the artist’s Black Mountain College days to the late 1960s, reveals Spillenger’s deep commitment to abstraction and his passionate love of color. After leaving Black Mountain College, Spillenger moved to New York City where he became a member of “The Club,” a Cedar Tavern regular, and friend to Abstract Expressionist luminaries including Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, and Philip Guston. Despite his contribution to the formation of the New York School, Spillenger did not find commercial or critical success. Ray Spillenger: Rediscovery of a Black Mountain Painter is the first exhibition to examine this unseen body of work and to assess the artist’s contribution to the history of mid-twentiethcentury American art. This exhibition has been organized by the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center and curated by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr., Curator of American Art, Emeritus, Harvard Art Museums.

EXHIBITIONS

Taking its name from a seminal essay by the critic and philosopher Jacques Rancière, this exhibition considers the question of surface in relation to contemporary graphic design. Beyond divisions between the poetic and the professional, or the modern and postmodern, “the flat surface,” Rancière reminds us, “was always a surface of communication where words and images slid into one another.” Curated by designer and writer Mark Owens, Surface of Design thus brings together select historical objects and work by contemporary artists and designers to probe a number of interrelated material practices, including wallpaper, supergraphics, and décor, as well as 3D printing and design for the surface of the computer screen. Between these various poles lies the printed page, and the exhibition will also consider how recent technological developments cast light on the notion of “the public” in publication. Taken together, the works in Surface of Design shed new light on graphic design as “a surface of communication” and ask what new forms of “communal life” might therefore be possible.

Rene Almeling Tuesday, November 1, 7pm Natural Sciences Building Room 1001

GUYNECOLOGY: MEN, MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE, AND REPRODUCTION

Medical researchers have been making headlines with a surprising series of findings about men and reproduction. It turns out that the health status of men’s bodies prior to conception can directly affect the health of their children. This book project is motivated by the question: Why did it take so long for researchers to begin asking basic questions about how men matter for reproduction?

Rene Almeling, associate professor of sociology and public health at Yale University, focuses on issues associated with gender and medicine.

She examines questions about how biological bodies and cultural norms interact to influence scientific knowledge, medical markets, and individual experiences.

These lectures were made possible by Con Edison, Inc., as part of the Science in the Modern World Program.

The “Other” Four Seasons Wednesday, November 30, 12:30–1:30pm Neuberger Museum of Art Event ticket information page 44

Vivaldi’s set of four violin concertos known as The Four Seasons has achieved a lasting place in the repertoire; but there are other, less-wellknown concertos for strings that give those concertos some competition. The Purchase College Camerata presents four of its leading string players in a group of equally stellar, but lesser performed, concertos by Bach, Vivaldi, and their contemporaries that rival Vivaldi’s famous Seasons.

Jacque Trussel, Director Hugh Murphy, Music Director and Conductor This opera by Gian Carlo Menotti is a favorite of children and adults throughout the world. It tells the story of the disabled boy Amahl and his mother, who live in poverty in Jerusalem. One night, three strangers appear at their door. They are the three kings, on their way to Bethlehem.

What happens next is a miracle! The opera offers an insight into values and experiences—of love, sacrifice, and healing—that touch us all, regardless of faith.

Mozart Mass in C minor Sunday, December 11, 5pm The Performing Arts Center $20

David J. Recca, Conductor “As proof of my promise, the score of half a Mass for which I still have high hopes…lays half-finished on my desk.” These were the words of Mozart in 1783 to his ever-disapproving father, perhaps in hopes of some future reconciliation.

The completion of this “half-finished” Mass would prove to be a promise Mozart would not live to fulfill. Featuring student soloists, the Purchase Symphony Orchestra and Purchase Chorus will come together to present musicologist Richard Levin’s well-researched and dramatic completion of this inspiring work.
