TWO COOL!
Sarah Cain, Untitled (Spring 2011)
WELL CHOREOGRAPHED
The history of the Orange County Museum of Art is rooted in Los Angeles art and artists of the 1960s and ’70s. Two Schools of Cool, through Jan. 22, pairs elder statesmen of cool with artists from a new generation, that emerged for the most part in Los Angeles since 2000, to create collaborative projects. The exhibition shows similarities as well as shifts in the art world over the decades, including the increasing prominence of female artists and the use of new technologies. There are five mixed-media installations. The collaborating artist teams are John Baldessari and Shana Lutker; Llyn Foulkes and Stanya Kahn; George Herms and Sarah Cain; Allen Ruppersberg and Amanda Ross-Ho; and Robert Williams and Ed Moses. Select public programs during the run of the exhibition include artist talks, performances and workshops. p. 62

Twyla Tharp’s Come Fly Away
New Broadway musical Come Fly Away, Jan. 31-Feb. 5 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, brings together the legendary music of Frank Sinatra (“Fly Me to the Moon,” “New York, New York”), the creative vision of Tony Award-winning choreographer Twyla Tharp (Movin’ Out) and a live big band. In it, 15 of the world’s best dancers tell the story of four couples falling in and out of love, exploring the the excitement of a first dance, exhilaration of a first kiss and bittersweet moments of a first goodbye. “Come Fly Away delivers the purest jolt of pleasure to be found on a Broadway stage,” enthused Time magazine. In its highly anticipated Southern California debut, the prestigious, century-old Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo presents choreographer-director Jean-Christophe Maillot’s contemporary interpretation of Cinderella, set to Prokofiev’s score, at the center Feb. 9-12. p. 59 14 WHEREOC.COM WINTER 2012
