RENÉE FLEMING STARS IN FILM OF LA TRAVIATA

FROM LONDON’S ROYAL OPERA COMPANY

SOUTHAMPTON, NY 2/17/2011 —As part of Emerging Pictures’ Opera in Cinema series, the Parrish Art Museum is presenting the Royal Opera Company’s 2009 production of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata on Sunday, February 27, at 2 pm. The production stars the celebrated American soprano Renée Fleming, as well as renowned Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja and the American baritone Thomas Hampson.

One of the most popular operas in the canon, La Traviata was composed in 1853 and based on the play La dame aux camellias by Alexandre Dumas, fils. The title means “the fallen woman” and refers to the heroine, Violetta Valery, a courtesan in nineteenth-century France. Pursued by Alfredo Germont, she at first rejects his declaration of love, but by Act II she and Alfredo are sharing a country house near Paris. Their idyll is doomed, however, by the intercession of Alfredo’s father, jealousy, misunderstandings, and ill health, among other dramatic events.

According to Emerging Pictures’ cultural programming curator Christiana Little, “The role of Violetta is widely considered one of the most challenging (if not most feared!) in the soprano repertoire. The score requires a vast range of vocal pyrotechnics from the performer, and also sheer endurance—Violetta is onstage for nearly the entire opera.”

Tickets to La Traviata are $14 for Parrish members, $17 for nonmembers. The running time is 136 minutes.

About the Parrish Art Museum

The Parrish Art Museum is an American art museum located in Southampton, New York. Founded in 1897, the museum celebrates the artistic legacy of Long Island’s East End, one of America’s most vital creative centers. Since the mid 1950s the Museum has grown from a small village art gallery into an important art museum with a collection of more than 2,600 works of art from the nineteenth century to the present. It includes such contemporary painters and sculptors as John Chamberlain, Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, Elizabeth Peyton, as well as such masters as Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de Kooning. The Parrish houses among of the world’s most important collections of works by the preeminent American Impressionist William Merritt Chase and by the groundbreaking post-war American realist painter Fairfield Porter. A vital cultural resource serving a diverse audience, the Parrish organizes and presents changing exhibitions and offers a dynamic schedule of creative and engaging public programs including lectures, films, performances, concerts, and studio classes for all ages. On July 19, 2010, the Parrish broke ground on a new building designed by internationally acclaimed architects Herzog & de Meuron. The 34,500-square-foot facility will triple the Museum’s current exhibition space and allow for the simultaneous presentation of loan exhibitions and installations drawn from the permanent collection.

RIGOLETTO AGAIN?

PARRISH PRESENTS NEW VERSION FILMED IN THE STREETS AND PALACES OF MANTUA, WITH PLACIDO DOMINGO IN THE TITLE ROLE

SOUTHAMPTON, NY 2/11/2011 — Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Rigoletto is one of the best known and most performed works in the opera canon. As part of Emerging Pictures’ Opera in Cinema series, the Parrish Art Museum is presenting a unique interpretation of Verdi’s masterpiece on Sunday, February 20, at 2 pm. This version, also known as Rigoletto in Mantua, was filmed not in an opera house but in the streets, alleyways, palaces, and courtyards of Mantua over a two-day period in 2010 by noted Italian film director Marco Bellocchio.

The real Palazzo Ducale of Mantua, replete with Andrea Mantegna’s early Renaissance ceiling frescoes, is only one star of this production. Placido Domingo, who has performed the tenor role of the Duke of Mantua many times, here undertakes the baritone role of Rigoletto. According to Domingo, “When [producer] Andrea Andermann invited me to interpret the part of Rigoletto, I replied that there were so many good baritones in the world who could sing it. But Andrea said that he wasn’t looking for a baritone, but rather for the Rigoletto whom I, Placido Domingo, could bring to life.” The role of the Duke is played by tenor Vittorio Grigolo, who is one of the hottest young opera stars performing today.

According to Anne Ozorio of Opera Today, “Realism never comes more authentic than this Rigoletto filmed live on location in Mantua, Italy…Just as Verdi indicated, each Act unfolds at the correct time of day, in the place indicated in the libretto. No ordinary theatre has the capacity to create a production as loyal to the composer’s instructions as this.” Tickets to Rigoletto are $14 for Parrish members, $17 for nonmembers. The running time is 153 minutes.

Milton Avery
& THE END OF MODERNISM

January 22, 2011 through May 8, 2011

I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form
a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter.
At the same time I try to capture and translate the excitement
and emotion aroused in me by the impact with the original idea.

- Milton Avery

Milton Avery & the End of Modernism looks at work by the artist who brought the sketch, with its spontaneity, movement and fleetingness, to the status of a finished painting. The exhibition features Avery’s intense saturated color fields, the simplification of form, and figures that emphasize the flatness of canvas surface. Milton Avery & the End of Modernism opens on January 22, 2011 and remains on view through May 8, 2011. It is organized for NCMA by Director Karl E. Willers, Ph.D. The exhibition was organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York. It was funded, in part, by the New York State Council for the Arts, a state agency; the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art; and the Westchester Arts Council. For presentation at NCMA, the exhibition was expanded as Milton Avery & the End of Modernism.

This exhibition examines the contributions of Milton Avery as a significant figurative painter from the late 1920s through the early 1960s. Milton Avery & the End of Modernism takes a concerted look at the development of Avery’s signature paintings from his idiosyncratic drawing style that captures the essence of a person, place or time. According to Dr. Willers, this places Avery’s work within a long history of modernist practice that recognizes the artist’s sketch as a “final, complete and a self-sufficient work of art.” Within the emergence of his avant-garde style, said Dr. Willers, Avery can be seen as one of the preeminent American painters of his time, exerting great influence among both his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists.

Further assessing Avery’s place in American art history, Patterson Sims wrote in an essay for the Whitney Museum of American Art: “Early in Avery's career, when Social Realism and American Scene painting were the prevailing artistic styles, the semi-abstract tendencies in his work were viewed by many as too radical. In the 1950s, a period dominated by Abstract Expressionism, he was overlooked by critics because of his adherence to recognizable subject matter. Nevertheless, his work, with its emphasis on color, was important to many younger artists, particularly to Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, and other Color Field painters.”

The museum is sponsoring several informative programs in connection with Milton Avery & the End of Modernism, among them two Tea & Tour events featuring exclusive docent-led exhibition tours with introductions by Dr. Willers; an illustrated talk by art historian Charles A. Riley II, Ph.D.; and a series of three lectures on the exhibition by Dr. Willers. For details, please visit the Events page of this site.

PARRISH ART MUSEUM ANNOUNCES

NEW ASSOCIATE CURATOR

ANDREA GROVER

SOUTHAMPTON, NY 12/22/10—The Parrish Art Museum announces the appointment of Andrea Grover as Associate Curator. A native of Long Island, Ms. Grover will begin her position in January 2011.

Holding more than ten years of experience in media arts curating, Andrea Grover is well known for her innovative media arts exhibitions and pop-up cinema events produced as founder of the nonprofit cinema, Auora Picture Show, in Houston, Texas. In her new role at the Parrish Art Museum, Ms. Grover will initiate a series of associative public programs designed to stimulate a new kind of engagement with the museum. She will work extensively with Cara Conklin-Wingfield, Deputy Director, Education, Alicia Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education, and Mark Segal, Director of Adult Programs, to integrate curation, education, and local culture via workshops, readings, performances, and screenings. A major focus of her work will be to translate the Museum’s East End Stories online database into live events that will further illuminate the history and status of the region as an art colony.

“We are enormously pleased to welcome Andrea to the Parrish curatorial team,” Parrish Director Terrie Sultan said. “Andrea brings a depth and breadth of creative thinking, and a wealth of ideas on how to fully integrate special exhibitions, our East End Stories digital archive, and our world-class permanent collection within the context of a broader cultural engagement. She will make a wonderful addition to the Museum’s team.”

“As a native of Long Island, I have long admired the Parrish and am delighted to be returning to the region to serve this historic institution. It is particularly auspicious to be joining the creative staff at a moment of transformation, during the construction of the new building,” Ms. Grover said.

In addition to bringing extensive experience in media arts curating to the Parrish, Ms. Grover has extensive experience working at the intersection of art, technology, and social practice. She curated the first exhibition exploring the phenomenon of crowdsourcing in art (Phantom Captain, apexart, New York, 2006), and, with artist Jon Rubin, organized an exhibit in which worldwide participants created a photo-sharing album of their imaginings on Tehran (Never Been to Tehran, Parkingallery, Tehran, Iran, 2008). She has programmed an evening of films for Dia Art Foundation at The Hispanic Society of America, New York (Lessons in the Sky, 2009), and inaugurated a new semiannual screening series, From the Menil Film Archive, with The Menil Collection. In 2009 she curated an exhibition that continued her research into cooperation and distributed thinking across disciplines (29 Chains to the Moon, Carnegie Mellon University, Miller Gallery). She has an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BFA from Syracuse University and was a Core Fellow in residence at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Ms. Grover is presently a Warhol Curatorial Fellow with the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry and Miller Gallery, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA.
