SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Alyssa Songsiridej - Tarot and Creative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bethany welcomes Artist in Residence\, Alyssa Songsiridej \nAlyssa Songsiridej will lead a generative creative writing workshop about using the Tarot to connect with your interests and inspiration. She will give a very brief explanation of the Tarot and facilitate writing exercises using intuition and the cards. No experience or Tarot deck necessary. \nhttps://alyssasongsiridej.com/ \nAlyssa Songsiridej is currently working on a short story collection. While stylistically diverse\, the pieces show young women in constrained circumstances who quietly desire a larger life even if they are not able to concretely define the life for themselves. They glimpse an expansive something else through friendships\, jobs\, politics\, families\, and ill-advised communal living situations\, stumbling and reaching into their pasts or their imagined futures. \nShe will share a reading of her new works and discuss it with the audience.

SUMMARY:"Nosotras Somos..." Flamenco Production
DESCRIPTION:A Palo Seco Flamenco Company- Rebeca Tomas\nTickets: $15 online / $20 at door \nFeaturing a cast of fierce (and female) flamenco dancers and musicians\, “Nosotras Somos…” is an original Flamenco production created by artistic director\, Rebeca Tomas.  The show will pay tribute to female empowerment and showcase choreographies that range from traditional Flamenco to original compositions set to voice recordings\, spoken word\, and a mixture of rhythms and sounds.  The project is supported\, in large part\, by Arts Westchester’s Arts Alive grant. \nA Palo Seco is a New York based Flamenco Company that strives to develop a unique voice\, employing their Flamenco expertise\, while also taking into account the context in which they live.  Their work aims to expose people to an innovative way of looking at Flamenco\, combining traditional techniques with a modern\, metropolitan flare. Run by artistic director and choreographer\, Rebeca Tomas\, the company debuted its first production in May 2010 at Theatre 80 St. Marks (New York City). The production was described as “a feast for the eyes and the ears” (Linsday Miller\, Theatre On-Line)\, and reviewed by several press sources\, including the New York Times.  Jack Anderson\, for the New York Theatre Wire\, wrote\, “Tomas is seeking to develop Flamenco in new ways.”  In addition to yearly engagements in New York City\, the company has appeared throughout the U.S. at venues such as the Chicago Flamenco Festival\, Eastman School of Music’s World Music Series\, Jacob’s Pillow\, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Pocantico Center\, SummerStage\, and the New Victory Theater. \n “A Palo Seco” is a phrase that refers to a bare-bones style of flamenco music\, often consisting of singing or percussion alone.  This stripped-down aesthetic has become a central theme in artistic director Rebeca Tomas’ choreography\, characterizing her biggest departures from tradition\, while also rooting her work in the emotional rawness that lies at the heart of the art of Flamenco.  In support of her work with A Palo Seco\, Tomas has received support from Arts Westchester\, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the Jerome Foundation\, the Connecticut Office of the Arts\, and she received a Choreography Fellowship by the New York Foundation for the Arts in 2013 and most recently in 2019.  https://www.apalosecoflamenco.com/

SUMMARY:Theater O Presents: And A Child Shall Lead
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nTheater O Presents: And a Child Shall Lead By Michael Slade \nThis is the heroic and true story of children coming of age in Terezin\, the “Jewish city” established by the Nazis near Prague as a way station before the death camps. In the face of unspeakable horror\, these children use their determination and creativity to build lives filled with hope and beauty — playing\, studying\, making art\, and writing an underground newspaper — all at the peril of being executed. Their actual poems and stories are woven into a fast-paced drama\, evoking the universality of children caught in the insanity of war. \nStarring:  Dylan Alter\, Cavan Brouder\, Kenzie Dono\, Henry Hoffman\, Sofia Kringas\, Rowan Krupp-Foshay\, Khadija Mostafa\, Elena Prisament\, Kiran Roye

SUMMARY:The Art of Mexico: A Rich Tapestry of Traditions
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nThe art of Mexico embodies that country’s long struggle to form a cultural and artistic identity. Embedded in Mexico’s artistic production is a centuries-long cultural heritage articulated in influences including the Pre-Columbian\, Spanish Colonial\, and Western European traditions\, among others. In this class\, we will focus on the efforts of Mexican artists to develop styles that merge historical\, social\, political\, religious\, cultural and individual concerns. Mexican art reveals both a revolutionary  spirit—and deep ties to antiquity\, the West\, and the broader contemporary world. From the overtly political murals of Diego Rivera and the Mexican Muralist School to the deeply personal works of such artists as Frida Kahlo\, Rufino Tamayo and Mexico’s extraordinary contemporary\, graphic and folk artists\, there is a thread linking the distant past to the future that remains unbroken. \nThis course will be a journey along that continuum. (Five 2-hour sessions on Saturday 10am-12pm). \nSession 1: 1/25/2020\n“Origins of the Mexican Identity: Pre-Columbian Art (c. 1200-1535 CE)”\nThe civilizations of Central America (Mesoamerica) were roughly contemporaneous with the European Christian era. The Pre-Columbian culture was seemingly brought to an end by the Spanish conquest. However\, the art of this era is embedded in Mexican art throughout its history. Today\, we will examine this period\, including Mayan and Aztec art. \nSession 2: 2/1/2020\n“The Spanish Colonial Era”\nToday\, special attention will be paid to the impact of Spanish control over Mexico. We’ll look at the contributions of the conquerors to Mexican art and culture and will also identify the remaining influences of the Pre-Columbian tradition. We’ll also look at Mexico’s struggle of forming a cultural and artistic identity\, after winning independence in 1821. Artists we look at will include José Juárez\, Juan Correa\, and Cristóbal de Villalpando\, among others \nSession 3: 2/8/2020\n“Revolution\, Class Struggle and the Mexican Muralist School”\nToday we’ll examine the work of the key Mexican Muralists\, which developed following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). Artists we look at will include Diego Rivera\, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. \nSession 4: 2/15/2020\n“Modernism and the Synthesis of Roots”\nBreaking Away from the Mexican Muralists in the mid-20th Century\, artists such as Frida Kahlo\, Rudolfo Tamayo\, Emilio Amero\, Amador Lugo. Rosa Rolanda\, Dr. Atl (Gerardo Murillo)\, and many others developed a new vision for both the content and role of art. Today\, we will examine this period and its significance in forming an identity for Mexican art. \nSession 5: 2/22/2020 “A Merging of Styles and Purposes”\nToday we will examine Mexican art as part of the school of the world. We’ll look at more contemporary religious\, secular and folk genres to discover their significance in the “definition” of Mexican art\, and summarize where Mexican art is today. \nCourse Format:\nCourse materials for each lesson will be posted each Wednesday. The Instructor provides all materials for this course including: visual presentations; recommended reading lists; articles of interest; and\, other relevant printed materials.\nOnce Upon A Time – background info and relevant printed material will be provided\nVisual presentation (this will include a slide presentation and ongoing class discussions)\nStudents may contact the Instructor via e-mail with questions\, in between class sessions \nCourse Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes:\nUpon completion of this course\, students will be able to:\nIdentify some key works of art from the Mexican (and other) traditions\, and discuss them in the contexts of Art History and the Humanities;\nDiscuss the relationships between past and present cultural traditions as they are articulated in Mexican art;\nIdentify and discuss the cross-fertilization of historical\, political\, religious\, economic and visual influences embodied in the art of Mexico\, from interdisciplinary perspectives;\nRecognize the subject matter and content of the course in broader contexts \nAttendance/Absence/Tardiness Policy: If you are registered for the class\, please make every effort to be on time and participate. \nElectronic Device Policy: Students are asked to turn ringer tones on their cell phones off during class—and to take any essential calls on their cell phones outside of the virtual classroom. \nMeet your Instructor: Jill Kiefer \n Dr. Jill Kiefer is an art historian and teaching artist. \nDr. Jill Kiefer is an art historian and teaching artist.

SUMMARY:Artour Toulinov: Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artour Toulinov\nan (online) exhibition at Bethany Arts Community\nJun 20th – Aug 31st\, 2020\nGallery open Mon-Fri by appointment\n& Sat\, Aug 15th 10am-3pm by appointment and drop-in if space permits\nArtwork may be purchased by contacting us at info@bethanyarts.org  \nView Artour Toulinov exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Statement\nArtour Toulinov I began to photograph exclusively in the studio in 1999\, using a black backdrop\, which serves as a little theater. People from all walks of life became my models and interacted with objects I’d find everywhere\, but mostly at the flea market\, in antique and thrift stores or on the street\, in order to tell a story. The studio gave me the freedom to portray my emotional struggles and those of others in a deeper way. Looking back over my work\, I realize the most persistent themes are isolation and loneliness\, nostalgia\, mortality\, the struggle with ambition\, the irrelevance of labor to success\, and the process of immigration. In the beginning\, I explored the meaning of my memories\, – what I left behind in Russia and what I brought with me. But then the work became more about what I found to be true for me here in America\, and even more about the emotional lives of the people who were my models. \nI always come to the studio with an idea and never work spontaneously. The props I use have relevance to an idea or to the model. I find that by working with the same props and the same models\, I am able to discover even deeper meaning in my initial ideas. The models and I gain greater comfort working together over time\, and they are then able to reveal the beauty of the human mind. \nI was inspired to work in this particular way by the icons that fascinated me growing up in Russia\, and by the classical literature of my motherland. In this age of digital photography\, I suppose my tools would be considered classical as well. I shoot only black and white film with a Hasselblad camera designed in 1948\, and print the images in the darkroom the old fashioned way. \nMy greatest satisfaction comes when an image is able to elicit an emotional response or memory for the viewer\, because I have delved deep into myself in making it\, and we have found our common humanity. \nArtist Bio\nArtour Toulinov was born between two rivers in Tuapse\, Russia\, a seaport on the Black Sea. From a young age\, he was sculpting\, painting and drawing. He graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in law\, which he practiced until he immigrated to the United States in 1991. Although he was unable to practice law here\, he did continue his work as a fitness trainer\, not realizing then that he was training his eye for the photographic work he would make in the future with people from all walks of life. \nHe first picked up a camera in 1993\, but it wasn’t until 1999 that photography became his passion and his work took a serious bent. He began working exclusively in the studio\, using a black backdrop to create a small theater for the objects and people that would portray the memories he left behind in Russia\, and those that he brought with him. His work has always been heavily influenced by his fascination with Russian icons and by the classical literature of his motherland\, and so it was natural for him to create stories with his images\, stories that evolved over the years to express emotions and experiences common to all. He shoots only black and white film with a Hasselblad camera designed in 1948\, and prints the images himself in a refined silver gelatin format. \nToulinov’s work is in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum\, as well as in many private collections\, and has been shown in galleries in New York City and Europe. After living and working in Manhattan for twenty-seven years\, he now has made Philadelphia his home. arttoulinov.com \nAbout Bethany Arts Community:\nFounded in May of 2015 by David Lyons\, Bethany Arts Community\, Inc. aspires to be a leading center for arts and culture\, where the many forms of art can be seen\, learned\, and produced.

SUMMARY:100 Great Artists of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century opened with the legacies of Impressionism\, Post-Impressionism\, and all of the eras and movements that preceded them. Our look at the great artists of the 20th century will touch upon all of the major art movements of that century—in the European\, American\, and non-Western arenas.Beginning with Paul Cézanne and Claude Monet—who took the modern era in quite different directions—we’ll examine those artists who became part of the continuum that is art history\, by making significant contributions to what would become the art of a new century. We’ll look at the key figures of Modernism and Postmodernism\, which will include such artists as Henri Matisse\, Pablo Picasso\, Wassily Kandinsky\, Marcel Duchamp\, Joan Miró\, Salvador Dali\, Egon Schiele\, Edward Hopper\, Charles Demuth\, Jackson Pollock\, Mark Rothko\, Anselm Kiefer\, and Jaspar Johns—among many others.We’ll also be exploring amazing artists from the Ashcan School (formally known as The New York Realists)\, the Fantastic Naifs (naive and outsider artists)\, the Mexican Muralist School\, and the Harlem Renaissance. In addition\, we’ll be examining the major achievements of women in the arts during the 20th Century—who struggled throughout that era for recognition. \nJoin us on this fascinating 5-week online journey!\nSaturdays\, 10am –11am June 20\, 27\, July 11\, July 18 and July 25 (NO CLASS JULY 4) \nRegister for online Course

He will be developing “Object Stories” which is a community-sourced art project that documents people’s relationships to personal objects that shape our everyday lives. \nCall for Participation – seeking submissions to build this project. \nParticipants are asked to think about the meaningful possessions that surround them and submit images and the stories behind them. For Example\, I’m seeking objects and stories that represent the idea of home\, a particular place\, associated to a specific person\, provide comfort and/or are extensions of our bodies and routines. \nIt’s quick and simple – Please email a picture of your object and a short written text\, voice recording\, or video – whatever is easier – telling me about it and why you selected it. You can email as many objects / pictures as you want: \nStoriesOfAnObject@gmail.com \nAs the project evolves\, Brice will compile the images and create an anonymous online interactive archive of the images. The submissions become snapshots of our relationships to objects and the significant position they hold within our lives. \nArtist Bio:\nBrice Garrett uses the position of adornment and objects as a source to think through ideas of body\, production\, labor\, value\, and memory. Working across disciplines\, he utilizes a variety of materials and methods that culminate into wearables\, sculptures\, installations\, and participatory projects.

He has been the recipient of awards and residencies from the Museum of Arts and Design\, Queens Council on the Arts\, The Center for Craft\, Manhattan Graphic Center\, Tides Institute & Museum of Art and most recently Teton ArtLab.
