Thursday, February 24 / 5:30 to 6:30 pm

 

Join renowned artist Alonzo Adams MGSA’84 in conversation with Donna Gustafson, curator, art of the Americas, and Mellon director for academic programs at the Zimmerli Art Museum.

He was one of the first Black artists to become an Absolut artist and his work was featured in the Black Romantic exhibit at the Studio Museum of Harlem. In 2004, Alonzo was one of the first inductees of the Rutgers African American Alumni Alliance’s Hall of Fame. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions and private venues, including at Rutgers, Howard University, Dow Jones, and Uptown Records. He has won many awards for his work and has been featured in Art Business News, Black Enterprise, Images Magazine, Upscale Magazine, and ESPN Magazine.

A Q&A follows the talk. Free and open to the public. Register here to receive Zoom Link.

MUSIC IN EXCESS: A CONCERT OF UKRAINIAN AVANT-GARDE MUSIC

HYBRID

 

 

Saturday, February 26 / 2 to 3 pm

 

In conjunction with the exhibition Painting in Excess: Kyiv’s Art Revival, 1985–1993, the concert features Ukrainian compositions from the 1980s and early 1990s, recreating the cultural atmosphere of this time. Selected with the assistance of musicologist Dr. Leah Batstone from Vienna University, the compositions reflect the trying and transitional times of perestroika and the burst of creativity they engendered. Works by late modern and postmodern Ukrainian composers include: Volodymyr Runchak, Homo Ludens III (1991); Ivan Nebesnyy, Dialogue with my own reflection (1992); Valentyn Sylvestrov, Postlude No. 3 for Cello and Piano (1981-82); and Yuri Laniuk, Anticipation Sonata (1993).

Free and open to the public. This is a hybrid program: Register to attend in person or receive a link for the livestream. Concert is followed by a curator-led tour (in person only).

Please Note: All attendees are required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test, accompanied by photo ID or Rutgers My Campus Pass. Please review the complete details on our Health & Safety page.

SUBVERSIVES: REVOLUTIONARIES IN ART AND MUSIC

The New Brunswick Chamber Orchestra and Zimmerli Art Museum have paired up to present “Subversives: Revolutionaries in Art and Music.” This six-part series explores artists and composers who went against the grain.

Watch the first episode, which features the work of Clémentien-Hélène Dufau and Ethel Smyth, on the NBCO YouTube channel. Then visit NBCO.org to sign up to receive "Subversives" weekly in your inbox!
