SUMMARY:TheCrossing: MoM 1: Building a Contemporary Canon\, Edition 1\, presented by ArtPhilly
DESCRIPTION:We tap our vast catalogue of commissioned works for those that examine “Where we are”; the assessment\, if not always optimistic\, is tirelessly honest and inquisitive as heard through the music of some of the country’s most adventurous composers. A new work of Canadian composer Nicole Lizée and works of David Lang\, Shara Nova\, Julia Wolfe\, Michael Gordon\, Stratis Minakakis\, John Luther Adams\, Edie Hill\, Caroline Shaw\, and Gabriel Jackson form a kind of musical quilt that says\, “We are here\, and this is what it feels like to be here.” \nImmigration. Extinction. Resolve. Ailing Planet. \n† ArtPhilly\, whose goal is to establish Philadelphia as a globally recognized hub for arts and culture\, presents a multi-disciplinary citywide “festival of all perspectives\,” connecting audiences to each other through ongoing artistic programming and commissions of original works. \nNicole Lizée’s new work is commissioned by The Crossing and Donald Nally\, Volti\, and Cantori New York.

SUMMARY:Mind the Composition
DESCRIPTION:Mind the Composition features artists Catherine Gontarek and Richard King. In this exhibition\, the artists focus on meticulously arranging the shape\, color\, and design in their work\, assembling defined structures. Catherine’s work alters a variety of photographs through collage that creates a new set of imagery that centers around the human mind. Richard’s work dives more into abstract geometric structures\, drawing from surrounding buildings and cityscapes. \nExhibitions can be seen by appointment; call InLiquid to schedule: 215-235-3405.

SUMMARY:A closer Look: Michael Rex – Artist Talk & Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Michael Rex in a more intimate and relaxed setting. \nFollowing the talk\, dinner will be served allowing for more discussion with the artist and among guests. \nRex’s artistic inspiration is deeply personal and two-fold. As a child\, he watched his mother and grandmother knit yarn into intricate patterns\, an early introduction to the power of line and form. Later\, a transformative encounter with the work of artist Ruth Asawa in a 2017 exhibition expanded his vision of what wire could become. With a lifelong background in the arts\, including dance\, music\, and professional television performances\, and a global career in the fashion industry\, Rex brings a refined sense of movement\, rhythm and design to his sculptural practice. \nMenu\n___\nWatermelon feta and mint salad\n___\nRoasted salmon with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables\n___\nMeringue\, whipped cream\, kiwi fruit camp; strawberries\n___\n*A GF vegan option of tagine with rice is available\, please inquire at time of reservation. \nTalk: 6:00 pm – 6:45 pm\nDinner: served at 7:00pm\nPrices include 20% gratuity.\nThis event is BYOB\nBy reservation only.\nPlease sign up at least 2 days prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tours: A Nation of Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Nation of Artists tour explores the diverse narratives of American art and identity throughout the newly restored Historic Landmark Building. Led by experienced docents\, the tour examines the internationalism and global exchange of American art while also highlighting works from the 18th century to the modern day which feature American artists responding to the social conditions of their time. \nOrganized in conjunction with America’s 250th anniversary\, A Nation of Artists examines how artistic production in the United States has been shaped by creativity\, exchange\, expansion\, conflict\, and innovation. At PAFA\, works made from the late 18th century to today will be arranged thematically to explore scenes of westward expansion\, the rise of industry\, and international exchange. \nInstalled throughout PAFA’s recently restored Historic Landmark Building\, the exhibition will chart America’s history from 1700 to the present day thorough more than 1\,000 paintings\, photographs\, sculptures\, decorative arts\, and more. Across PAFA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, more than 120 rarely seen works from the Middleton Family Collection—one of the nation’s most significant private holdings of American art—will be on public view for the first time. \nTickets Include:\nAll day museum admission\n20% off food & drinks at the PAFA Museum Store
