SUMMARY:Rose Art Museum In Conversation: Catherine Opie
DESCRIPTION:Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University \nIn Conversation: Catherine Opie \nCelebrated for her powerful and dynamic photographs documenting members of vibrant subcultures\, Catherine Opie has long been searching for what she describes as “that fine art Americana image.” This search led to collaboration with Ron Athey and the creation of her “Trojan Whore” series. This series of monumental large-format Polaroid portraits captured Athey’s performance work\, which explored desire\, sexuality\, and trauma through BDSM and extreme body art\, bringing Los Angeles’ underground queer scene to the mainstream.\nJoin Opie\, in conversation with Tom King\, Associate Professor of English at Brandeis University\, for a discussion of her collaboration with Athey\, her interest in probing Americans’ culturally constructed identities\, her artistic practice\, and explorations of queer communities.\nRegister now.

SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Mike Block
DESCRIPTION:“Peerless” and “pioneering” are words that get thrown around a lot\, but visionary cellist\, songwriter\, and vocalist Mike Block is the kind of talent that more than lives up to such distinctions.\nFrustrated by the stationary constraints of conventional cello playing (i.e.\, sitting down)\, Block invented a strap that allows him to stand while carrying the instrument against his body. The resulting physical freedom amplifies the dynamism and virtuosity of his performance style\, and is echoed in his varied approach to nearly any genre of music.\nWell-regarded for his work in Yo Yo Ma’s classical crossover smash The Silk Road Ensemble\, as well as several of his own varied groups\, Block is also a prolific singer and songwriter\, and will focus on showcasing those talents in his 2nd Shift series debut.\nYou haven’t seen another artist quite like Mike Block\, and you’re not going to want to miss this performance.
