This Week at Artspeak Gallery

Christine Keech

Jan 21-28

Opening Reception: Jan. 21 at 7pm at Artspeak Gallery

I create mixed media abstract paintings that incorporate my love of texture and colour with religious symbolism. My Christian faith has become the foundation for most of my work, especially my more recent paintings.

The ideas for the paintings come during quiet, meditative times, usually while I’m listening to a sermon, or sitting in a Bible class. The Bible is rich in symbolism and history and I wanted to explore and express the stories in a different way. I use an abstract, expressive approach that is interesting to look at as well as making people think about the subject matter.

Once an idea is in my head, I make a rough sketch and then begin layering acrylic paint washes and texture mediums. Sometimes there are many layers in a painting, rich with vibrant colours while other paintings are more subdued in nature. After the layering process is complete, I walk away. Sometimes a painting is left for a few hours, sometimes it’s weeks. With fresh eyes, I begin to bring out the details that have naturally formed from the layering of the different mediums and add in whatever objects or symbols that are needed. Many times hidden images reveal themselves and have been quite startling because rarely are they intentional.

The idea for this series entitled “The Trees Tell the Story” came to me while I was thinking about all the different trees that are found in the Old and New Testaments. The story begins with the two trees found in Genesis and are followed by other significant trees that mark important events in Christian history. It ends with the symbolic tree of twelve fruits from the Book of Revelation, thus bringing the story full circle.

“Rhetoric’s Presence”

Rhetoric holds a contested place in current argumentation theory. Excluded from some accounts, central to others, it retains vestiges of a history that marks its capacity to exploit more than it edifies. Regardless of how much attention it receives, rhetoric operates as a positive force throughout society, transforming experience in all walks of life. The tools rhetoric brings to the practice and understanding of argumentation are powerful and necessary. In this talk I explore some of the tools and ideas that have informed my work in rhetorical argumentation, with particular attention to the concept of presence and its role in the force of the better arguments.

Windsor International Film Festival

ADVANCED SCREENING

The National Film Board of Canada with the cooperation of the Windsor International Film Festival presents a special advance screening of

Pink Ribbons, Inc.

January 26th at 7:00 p.m – CAPITOL THEATRE

Tickets $5 at the door ( 5:30 p.m. ) or online at www.windsorfilmfestival.com.

Inspired by the book Pink Ribbons, Inc.: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy by Samantha King, Pink Ribbons, Inc. shows how some companies use breast cancer cause-marketing to boost sales, while often contributing only a tiny fraction of proceeds to the cause. It also explores how companies that pollute or sell products containing dangerous chemicals are in on the action, too, using “pink washing” to polish their images, and even shaping the direction of cancer research. The end result is that the environmental causes of breast cancer have been largely ignored, with only a minuscule fraction of the funds going to prevention research.

Windsor Symphony Orchestra

The SymphRonica Project

Ron Davis to Record and Perform with the WSO

Jazz pianist Ron Davis and the WSO embark on a collaboration that will feature two performances, January 28 and 29, and culminate in a CD recording. The project, titled SymphRonica, is jazz piano and symphony orchestra fused together to create what Davis calls, “a stunning new kind of music.”

SymphRonica merges the creative talents of Ron Davis and his internationally acclaimed jazz trio with WSO Music Director John Morris Russell and the Juno award-nominated Windsor Symphony Orchestra. The idea for this project began when Ron Davis played with the WSO in 2009. Davis and Maestro Russell have worked for three years to bring this project into fruition.

Maestro Russell will conduct two concerts with Ron Davis and his trio on Saturday, January 28 and Sunday, January 29 at the Chrysler Theatre. Following the Sunday performance, the orchestra with Davis will play the same program for a third time in a closed theatre to record a CD. The release date for the CD will be announced soon.

John Morris Russell says that Davis’ 2009 performance with the WSO, “was a real smash. He is a wonderful pianist, delightful, funny and an entertaining host.” Russell went on to note that Davis, “kept the audience in rapt attention throughout. Ron had the right blend of standards and originals (which are all excellent) and judiciously mixed it up between swing, samba, stride, be-bop and gospel…definitely one of the most popular Pops acts we have had since I have been here!”

Welsh-born Gwyndaf Jones has been a favourite performer at Central United Church concerts for many years and will once again bring the Windsor audience an evening of exhilarating and enjoyable vocal styling. Alde Calongcagong who accompanies Gwyndaf Jones is a Windsor native and graduate of the University of Windsor’s School of Music. He is a well-known and well-loved local performer and piano teacher who will delight the audience with his sensitive and skilled performance. The evening’s performance will feature a talented and young Windsor’s flutist, Emily Calongcagong, Alde’s daughter.

Now based in Toronto, Gwyndaf Jones, former Windsor resident, has been delighting audiences since he was a youth in Wales.

University of Windsor- School of Music

Young Flute students prepare to perform with World-Class Flutist Robert Aitken

Imagine you’re an aspiring flutist in the Windsor-Essex area playing in your school’s band. One day your teacher offers you the opportunity to participate in a large flute choir with flutists from other schools and the University of Windsor. Best of all, you are going to have the opportunity to not only attend masterclasses with world renowned Canadian flutist, composer and conductor Robert Aitken, but to perform in a concert with Mr. Aitken!

That’s just the opportunity 65 area elementary, high school and University of Windsor School of Music flute players have jumped on. In addition to the large flute choir, a number of the players have been invited to play in a small flute ensemble.

The 65-flute choir will start rehearsing this Saturday, January 21st under the direction of flutist Jonathan G. Bayley, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Windsor and WCCA flute teacher Ms. Averil Clarke. Dr. Bayley has been working for months with arts consultants for all three school boards and Averil Clarke to recruit students and organize the music and rehearsals for this residency. The complete Residency schedule is available at the School of Music website.

Flutist Robert Aitken’s Residency is made possible by collaboration with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, University of Windsor School of Music and the Windsor-Essex School Boards. Mr. Aitken will be performing four concerts with the WSO titled “The Noble Flute” February 3, 4, 5, at Assumption University Chapel, Leamington United Mennonite Church and St. Anne’s Church in Tecumseh. For details and tickets, check out the Windsor Symphony website.

In between WSO rehearsals and performances, Mr. Aitken will be doing masterclasses, sessions with high school music teachers, and rehearsals for the concert Flute-Palooza with Robert Aitken & Friendson Tuesday, February 7, 7:30 pm, at Assumption University Chapel.

Walkerville Centre for the Creative Arts

Theater Alive

Chicago will be performed at the Chrysler Theatre – St. Clair Centre for the Arts on March 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 and April 1st. Theatre Alive’s 36th musical production will be directed by Brian Raisbeck with musical direction by Nino Palazzolo and featuring Music Express.

“CHICAGO” has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping-song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen. In roaring twenties Chicago, heroine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal.

Are you in the room?
January 14 to March 3
Opening Reception: Thursday January 19, 7pm

Dean Carson
Matthew Hawtin
Jim Mroczkowski

In this group exhibition, Are you in the room?, the work of three artists Dean Carson, Matthew Hawtin, and Jim Mroczkowski come together. I was initially intrigued by the differences in each of these artists practices and studio processes, but at the same time I could not help but draw parallels between them. The relationships to space, to perception, and our understanding of meaning are in some cases physical and in others conceptual, psychological within the work. In all cases the viewer as well as the artist pose questions as the work pushes and pulls against perceived boundaries. This exhibition opens on Saturday January 14 and runs until March 3, 2011. The opening reception will take place on Thursday January 19 at 7pm, the artists will be in attendance.

The Optimism of Colour: William Perehudoff, a retrospective
January 14 – April 1, 2012

The Optimism of Colour is the first major retrospective of the career of internationally renowned Canadian abstract painter William Perehudoff. Drawn from public and private Canadian collections, the exhibition features more than 60 works, created between 1945 and 2002. The exhibition traces the evolution of Perehudoff’s approach from early figurative works and murals to the radiant abstractions of his mature vision, their interplays of colour suggestive of musical chords.

This exhibition is curated by Karen Wilkin of New York City and is organized and circulated by the Mendel Art Gallery. The Mendel Art Gallery has developed a number of interactive features including a contextual video; and a dedicated website: www.mendel.ca/Perehudoff

Luanne Martineau:
January 21- March 25

Montreal artist, Luanne Martineau produces needle-punched felt by piercing dyed raw sheep’s wool fibres over and over again with a long needle. Strands of various colours are entwined and compressed together to create a decidedly painterly effect, while the building up of many layers hardens the felt, resulting in dense, thickly sculptural masses. From Abstract Expressionist painting to the Duchampian ready-made, Martineau juxtaposes specific moments in the historical narratives of art and craft.

This exhibition is curated by Lesley Johnstone, Conservatrice/Curator, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and is organized by Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Windsor

John Kissick: A Nervous Decade
January 21 – March 25, 2012

John Kissick’s work has enjoyed acclaim over the past decade for its viable, if highly critical, dialogue with the historical conventions of abstract painting. Kissick weaves the familiar – such as the supergraphics on 1960s civic architecture and contemporary popular music – into an expansive conversation about quotation and the institutionalization of artistic processes. A Nervous Decade brings together paintings from public and private collections throughout Canada. This exhibition traces Kissick’s early exploration and re-assembly of an abstract expressionist lexicon, through to a current immersion in hybrid painting informed by popular culture.

This exhibition is curated by Crystal Mowry and organized and circulated by the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery in partnership with the Kelowna Art Gallery.

Catalogues for all three shows are available in ShopAGW.
