“Transformations” examines artists whose work transitions between two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. Traditionally, artists have created preparatory drawings that ultimately lead to the completion of a fully realized sculpture. This exhibition presents artists who either reverse this process by fabricating three-dimensional work as a means of generating final two-dimensional work, or who work back and forth between two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. The works in this show aim to highlight the correlations and contrasts that inherently occur when moving between the two media. Free. http://jewettgallery.wordpress.com/

This one-day symposium will explore the people of New England through their visual and material representations from the 18th through the 20th centuries. How have the residents of New England been portrayed individually and in groups? How have they chosen to represent themselves — in what contexts, and in which media? How, in particular, has portraiture and self-presentation in New England offered an alternate view of the region? Talks by scholars in the fields of art history, the history of photography, and design history will explore portraiture and self-fashioning through a variety of lenses — from paintings on canvas to prints and photography, mixed media, moving images, sculpture, fashion, and interior design. The conference is free of charge and open to the public. Presented by the The Grace Slack McNeil Program for Studies in American Art at Wellesley College and Historic Deerfield.

The Cypress Quartet is a San Francisco-based ensemble that combines the talents of violinists Cecily Ward and Tom Stone, violist Ethan Filner, and cellist Jennifer Kloetzel. Known for innovative programming, passionate performances, and technical precision, their active performing schedule has included such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Library of Congress, and the Ravinia Festival. For more than ten years, the Cypress Quartet has commissioned a composer to respond to the call of the masterworks of chamber music repertoire. Their goal is twofold: create a link between the old and the new and inspire the imagination of the audience. To explore the relationship between literature and music, the Cypress Quartet has commissioned a new work from noted Boston composer Elena Ruehr, which will be paired on a program with Schubert’s beloved Death and the Maiden. Called upon to write a piece that responded to the inspiration of a work of literature—just as Schubert did for Death and the Maiden—Ruehr chose the best-selling novel Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. Andrea Matthews, soprano and member of the performing faculty at Wellesley College, will join the Cypress Quartet for a special presentation of the songs from which Ruehr drew her inspiration while composing this new work.

In the West, documentary photography led the way to the artistic recognition and museum collecting of photography. More than half a century later, Chinese “art photography” has become internationally popular, but China’s documentary photography has just begun to gain appreciation. Why this contrast? Do Chinese and Western museums view this medium from different perspectives? Do Chinese photographers see China through a different lens than their Western counterparts? Finally, what does documentary photography—Chinese or otherwise—have to do with art and aesthetics? This talk is based on the first major exhibition of Chinese documentary photographers held in America in 2009 and curated by Professor Silbergeld. Free. www.wellesley.edu/Art/
