2022 Summer Season

Welcome
s our neighbors and guests come on the campus this year, it looks almost like it did in 2019. We have, however, some wonderful additions for this summer and fall. Many of you have already encountered Xylem (2019), designed by the architect Francis Kéré. Xylem is made of logs sourced from regional trees that had been killed by mountain pine beetles. Like the togunas in Francis’s native village of Gando, Xylem is for gathering and talking.
There’s also Will’s Shed, our dining pavilion, built to provide our guests with a barn to eat in after the morning concerts, to sup before an evening concert, and to rest and rehydrate after hiking or bicycling the art center’s thirteen and a half miles of trails. And this concert season it will serve as an additional open-air performance venue so that guests may enjoy a concert while looking out over the Beartooth range. If you wander down to Patrick Dougherty’s Daydreams (2015) in July, you’ll see him reimagining the willows that whirl around the schoolhouse. To help him with this project, our team will be collecting thousands of local willow branches, which Patrick will then use during a three-week long residency to remake the exterior of the schoolhouse into a new and extraordinary tangle of sticks. We always delight in seeing children run in and out of Daydreams, hiding and seeking among the branches, and the childlike curiosity and sense of wonder it seems to inspire in visitors of all ages. What a gift to have the opportunity to watch its skeins reach out to us and to the sun in different ways. Installed throughout the ranch is a new series of works called Folds (2022) by Ensamble Studio’s Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril, creators of the phenomenal large-scale sculptural structures that anchor our rolling landscape (including the Beartooth Portal (2015), the Inverted Portal (2016), and the Domo (2016). Folds are spirits, ectoplasms, relaxing on the ground, taking in the sculptures. They mimic armchairs, chaise lounges, benches, and are made from draped canvas and moldable cement carpets, which feel fuzzy and comfortable. You can sit or lie on them and become sculptures yourselves for other visitors to marvel at.
We are thrilled to welcome the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei to the fields across from Daydreams. Like all societies, Iron Tree (2013) has many branches born from a shared root. In a period when beetles and wildfires have erased so many trees from our landscape, Weiwei’s tree is their anthem. The campus has a few other additions. We’ve rebuilt the Tiara Acoustic Shell, adding panels to provide shade for the audience and the musicians. We are very proud of the five weeks of concerts this fall, which have been organized by our artistic advisor, Pedja Muzijevic, and our special projects advisor, Jeanne Reid-White. To create more opportunities to hear music, we will host a few pop-up concerts throughout the 2022 season, at both Tiara and Xylem. Watch for announcements on our website. We are delighted that Nick Goldman and Wendi Reed, our long-time caterers, are thriving at Wild Flower Kitchen in Absarokee. We welcome our new partners in the culinary arts, Gena Gale Burghoff, Chris Lockhart, and Danny Mowatt, at Will’s Shed during the concert season. They will continue to serve fans in Red Lodge at PREROGATIvE Kitchen as well. We’re offering high-definition recordings of the concert season on our website as well as films of concerts, from 2016 to the present, on our site and on our YouTube page. Between recording sessions, opera and theater productions streamed from England, community concerts, and artist residencies, we are now utilizing our facilities year-round. Our new project is called The Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation. We’ve put a link to it on the top menu of the Tippet Rise website. The Brinkerhoffpoetry.org website features videos of poems being read by poets, actors, and ordinary people in London, New York, and Montana, as well as a growing archive of recent and classic poems. We hope to feature visits by poets and theater ensembles at Tippet Rise starting in 2023. And we welcome you, our friends, neighbors, and new friends, who keep our meadows alive each year with your curiosity and enthusiasm, and are our community, without whom we wouldn’t have Tippet Rise. - Peter and Cathy
