Memory and Markets: Pueblo Painting in the Early 20th Century
TBA
Cantor Arts Center328 Lomita Drive Stanford, CA USA iCal
 Exhibition Spotlights a Unique Development in Native American Art History with Works from Three Collections
February 22 – May 27, 2012
Stanford, California — A new movement of Native American painting emerged in the Pueblo communities of the southwestern United States in the early 20th century. Encouraged by anthropologists and teachers to record past and current scenes of their daily life on paper, the artists found inspiration in the centuries-old tradition of Pueblo painting seen in pottery, murals and archaeological remains.
The earliest Pueblo artists were self-taught, and they struggled for recognition from the local and national art market. In the 1930s, the formation of the Studio at the Santa Fe Indian School formalized the training of generations of Native painters and secured the continuance and expansion of this new tradition of Native American easel painting. The resulting works were dynamic, colorful and decidedly modern.
“Memory and Markets: Pueblo Painting in the Early 20th Century,” at the Cantor Arts Center from February 22 through May 27, outlines the history of this development. This exhibition includes works by well-known artists such as Tonita Peña (Quah Ah) and Alfonso Roybal (Awa Tsireh), both from the San Ildefonso Pueblo. Recent gifts from the collection of Malcolm and Karen Whyte and four important loans from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, including a painting by Allan Houser, augment highlights from the Center’s collection. “Memory and Markets” presents nearly 20 paintings in the Lynn Krywick Gibbons Gallery plus a small selection of pottery exemplifying early painting traditions.
The exhibition coincides with Stanford’s 41st annual Powwow, hosted Mother’s Day weekend, May 11–13, 2012, by the Stanford American Indian Organization. Learn more about Powwow details.
The exhibition is made possible by the Lynn Krywick Gibbons Exhibitions Fund.
Wed.-Sun., Feb. 22-May 27,

Paco De Lucia at Riverbend Centre

Riverbend Centre
Inarguably one of the greatest living guitarists in the world and one of the great heroes of modern flamenco, Paco de Lucía is credited with creating a ‘fusion’ style flamenco influenced by jazz stretching and embellishing flamenco’s strict structure but remaining faithful to the soul of its roots. The most innovative and influential flamenco artist of the last thirty years, de Lucía’s flamenco recordings have had a revolutionary impact. His groundbreaking collaborations with jazz artists such as John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola and Larry Coryell, as well as his notable soundtracks, have brought him worldwide popularity and acclaim. De Lucía’s compositional genius and the pure intimacy of his dazzling guitar virtuosity make a deeply authentic and universal statement that transcends the folkloric. With mesmerizing cascades of high velocity notes, de Lucía’s performances offer superb playing, dancing and singing and have been called ‘flamenco fireworks’. "Explosive, percussive, perpetual-motion concert", hailed the Chicago Tribune.

The exhibition will include a selection of artworks by prominent French avant-garde artists such as Henri Matisse, Andre Masson, Raoul Dufy, and Man Ray.
This exhibition is curated by Christina De León, assistant curator of Americas Society and Theodora Doulamis, public programs coordinator of Americas Society, with the collaboration of Gabriela Rangel, director of visual arts and chief curator at Americas Society.

Marc Latamie was born in 1952 in Martinique. He obtained a degree in fine art and art history from University of Paris VIII and was a lecturer at the National Museum of Modern Art, Paris. He has exhibited his work in Europe, Africa, the United States, and the Caribbean. Latamie has participated in the biennales of São Paulo (1996), Johannesburg (1997), Havana (1997), Dakar (2000), Uppsala (2000), and Spoleto-USA (2002). Group exhibitions include Tempo at the Museum of Modern Art (2002), Island Thresholds, Contemporary Art from the Caribbean at the Peabody Essex Museum (2005), and Legacies: Contemporary Artists reflect on slavery at The New York Historical Society (2006), amongst many others.

February 22 – May 27, 2012
Stanford, California — A new movement of Native American painting emerged in the Pueblo communities of the southwestern United States in the early 20th century. Encouraged by anthropologists and teachers to record past and current scenes of their daily life on paper, the artists found inspiration in the centuries-old tradition of Pueblo painting seen in pottery, murals and archaeological remains.
The earliest Pueblo artists were self-taught, and they struggled for recognition from the local and national art market. In the 1930s, the formation of the Studio at the Santa Fe Indian School formalized the training of generations of Native painters and secured the continuance and expansion of this new tradition of Native American easel painting. The resulting works were dynamic, colorful and decidedly modern.
“Memory and Markets: Pueblo Painting in the Early 20th Century,” at the Cantor Arts Center from February 22 through May 27, outlines the history of this development. This exhibition includes works by well-known artists such as Tonita Peña (Quah Ah) and Alfonso Roybal (Awa Tsireh), both from the San Ildefonso Pueblo. Recent gifts from the collection of Malcolm and Karen Whyte and four important loans from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, including a painting by Allan Houser, augment highlights from the Center’s collection. “Memory and Markets” presents nearly 20 paintings in the Lynn Krywick Gibbons Gallery plus a small selection of pottery exemplifying early painting traditions.
The exhibition coincides with Stanford’s 41st annual Powwow, hosted Mother’s Day weekend, May 11–13, 2012, by the Stanford American Indian Organization. Learn more about Powwow details.
The exhibition is made possible by the Lynn Krywick Gibbons Exhibitions Fund.

The second evening of the women travelers symposium features a keynote lecture by Adriana Méndez Rodenas, entitled “Women Travelers in Latin America: The Transatlantic Imagination.” She will present a panorama of literary and artistic production by women travelers in Latin America, principally in the nineteenth century. As historical witnesses, these women have impacted our understanding of Latin America and the Caribbean. Swedish novelist and early feminist Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) drew a portrait of slave society in Cuba, while other travelers shed light on post-independence societies, particularly Parisian social activist and early feminist Flora Tristan (1803 –1844) in Peru, Madame Calderón de la Barca (1804-1882) in Mexico, and Maria Graham (1785-1842) in Chile. The lecture will conclude by highlighting the broader context and relevance of the travelers today as reflected in contemporary fiction. Professor Méndez Rodenas is the guest editor of Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas, no. 84 (Women Travelers in Latin America, May 2012).
The symposium will open on May 16 with a panel discussion on four pioneering women travelers with scholars Claire Emille Martin, Vanesa Miseres, Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, Adela Pineda Franco, as well as moderator Méndez-Rodenas. The symposium concludes on May 18 with a launch of Review 84 (Spring 2012), featuring the guest editor; authors Carlos Franz, Pola Oloixarac, and Michael Schuessler; translator Jessica Ernst Powell; and special guest Hilda Benítez.

This launch of the women travelers in Latin America issue of the Society’s acclaimed journal will feature comments by editor Daniel Shapiro and guest editor Adriana Méndez Rodenas. The event will feature readings by authors Carlos Franz, Pola Oloixarac, and Michael Schuessler, and translator Jessica Ernst Powell, who will read from their respective texts in Review 84. The speakers will touch on historical figures, travel in the Americas, and the notion of the sublime. The launch will include commentary by special guest Hilda Benítez, who will speak about the novel Woman in Battle Dress, by her late husband, Cuban author Antonio Benítez Rojo. This launch will be conducted in English and Spanish. Copies of Review 84 will be available for sale at the launch.
The symposium will open on May 16 with a panel discussion on four pioneering women travelers with scholars Claire Emille Martin, Vanesa Miseres, Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, Adela Pineda Franco, moderated by Méndez Rodenas. The symposium will continue on May 17 with a keynote address by Méndez Rodenas.
Review 84, guest-edited by Méndez Rodenas, covers seminal women travelers in Latin America such as Flora Tristan, the French-Peruvian writer and social activist, as well as contemporary writers who address the theme of travel. Scholarly contributions include essays by critics on Tristan; on writer, artist, and ecologist Maria Sibylla Merian, who traveled to Suriname in 1699 to research and document insects and flora; on Victorian Scotswoman Lady Florence Dixie, who wrote about her adventures in Patagonia; and on Countess Paula Kollonitz, the lady-in-waiting to Empress Carlota, during Maximilian’s ill-fated reign in Mexico. The essays are complemented by illuminating texts by the travelers themselves. Other contributions include fiction by modern and contemporary writers, including the late Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Argentine novelist Pola Oloixarac, Mexico-based U.S. author Michael Schuessler, and Chilean writer Carlos Franz. The issue also features an essay by art critic Alicia Lubowski on the influence of Humboldt on women traveler-artists and includes reviews of new titles in translation by Latin American and Caribbean writers.

About Venezuelan-American pianist Vanessa Perez, The Washington Post called it right, saying, “Vanessa Perez is not to be taken lightly.” The newspaper’s critic added: “She stormed through some beautiful works at the Venezuelan Embassy, her fiery impetuosity proving her technical prowess in works by Villa-Lobos, Albéniz, Ravel and Rachmaninoff. . . Even Mozart's Sonata in F, K. 332, had muscular energy as she raced through the Allegros. The Adagio was pure grace.” Perez is a product of the same energized musical culture in Venezuela that produced such international stars as conductor Gustavo Dudamel and pianist Gabriela Montero. Praised for a bold, passionate performing style allied to musicianship of keen sensitivity, Perez has been championed by iconic performers. Conductor Zubin Mehta said of the pianist: “Her level of musical perception and artistic awareness impressed me as much as her total command of the keyboard.”
Perez has developed an international profile, playing prestigious venues across the United States, Latin America and Europe. The pianist has performed not only with Dudamel and Montero (a close friend since childhood), but also with such top musicians as pianist Ingrid Fliter, cellist Jan Vogler, violinist Colin Jacobsen and conductors John Axelrod, Enrique Batiz, David Gimenez Carreras, Karel Mark Chichon and Diego Matheuz. Reviewing a Perez performance of Mozart’s D Minor Concerto in Germany, the Dortmunder Zeitung called her “a virtuosa wild at heart and with a gentle touch,” combining “spontaneous freshness and poetic expression.” The Miami Herald, witnessing Perez in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, marveled at her “youthful fire” and “rapt lyricism.”
In spring 2012, Perez will make her Telarc/Concord debut with the release of an all-Chopin studio recording that features the 24 Preludes Op. 28, Fantasie in F minor Op. 49, Barcarolle Op. 60 and two Preludes from Op. 25. Even with influences in Chopin that range from Alfred Cortot to Claudio Arrau to Martha Argerich, Perez has made the music very much her own. She says: “The way I play this music may not be stereotypically `beautiful’ – it may be more raw than some. But I wanted the music to sound organic and real, above all. I didn’t want pretty. I wanted honest.”
Among other high-profile experiences in the studio, Perez joined superstar violinist Joshua Bell to record Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion for Bell’s At Home with Friends album, released by Sony Classical in 2009. She also teamed with Jan Vogler to duet on Piazzolla’s Le Grand Tango and more for the cellist’s 2008 Sony album, Tango. As a solo artist, the pianist’s new Chopin collection follows her 2005 album for VAI that featured Chopin’s four Ballades, pieces from Albéniz’s Ibería and a work by contemporary composer Suzanne Farrin. Reviewing that, International Piano said: “Perez can hold her head up high in the most distinguished company in Chopin’s Ballades. If anything, her Albéniz is even more impressive – impassioned, rich-toned and seductively coquettish where appropriate.” Chiming in, American Record Guide called Perez a “spirited, hot-blooded pianist. Her wide-ranging expression can go inward, and she can unleash a torrent of passion.”
Perez was raised to age 11 in Venezuela, where she began her studies with Luminita Duca. In the U.S., she studied with noted Claudio Arrau pupils Ena Bronstein and Rosalina Sackstein; at 17, she won a full scholarship for London’s Royal Academy of Music to study with Christopher Elton. She continued her studies with pianists Lazar Berman and Franco Scala in Italy at the renowned Accademia Pianistica Incontri Col Maestro in Imola; she then completed post-graduate studies with Peter Frankl at Yale University and pianist Daniel Epstein in New York City. Perez made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2004, but her first performance in New York wasn’t in an uptown classical concert hall – it was at the downtown jazz shrine of the Blue Note, where Latin jazz star Arturo Sandoval had her perform his Sureña, a piece laced with Venezuelan folk melodies. A dual citizen of the U.S. and Venezuela, she currently resides just outside Manhattan, in New Jersey.
