Comini Lecture Series: “The Definition of Modernism at the Second São Paulo Bienal,
1953-54”
Who: Dr. Adele E. Nelson, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
What: In the winter of 1953-54, Brazil was the site of the most comprehensive
display of the history of modern art ever realized in South America.
A monumental achievement for a newly democratic and developing nation,
the second Bienal de São Paulo (São Paulo Biennial) included not only seminal
works of European modernism, including Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937) and
Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942-43), but also in-depth
displays of recent geometric abstract art by artists of the Americas. Through
analysis of the composition and installation of the biennial in architect Oscar
Niemeyer’s open-plan buildings and comparison to the presentations at the
postwar Venice Biennales, this lecture argues that the second Bienal created a
paradigmatic account of the avant-garde artistic past and present that would
prove transformative for the nascent practice of abstraction among Brazilian
artists.

FEBRUARY

CLOSING: Hawn Gallery Exhibit: “Andrew Douglas Underwood: An Archive of Shadows”
What: Dallas-based artist Andrew Douglas Underwood presents his second solo
exhibition, Archive of Shadows. His research-based artistic practice
explores historic vignettes, examines the notion of perfection and questions
the possibility of objectivity. The museum-esque presentation of the work
intrinsically implies, “The mementos collected here are of historic
significance.” Also, like a museum, the act of collecting naturally
integrates with a practice of creating archives of information. Where this
collection diverges from the institutional and the quantitative is in the
emotional reaction to the vignettes. For those willing to slow down and
engage with the work, the reward is an involvement with a romantic moment
from history.
When: Through Feb. 5, 2012. Open during regular library hours: 8 a.m.-
midnight Mon.-Thurs.; 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Fri.; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat.; 1 p.m.- midnight

Meadows Opera Theatre: “The Marriage of Figaro” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
What: Cupid is at work and at play on Figaro and Susanna’s wedding day, but exactly
who is wooing whom? The Count, their master, has eyes for the bride and a
decrepit old lady lays claim to the groom. The Countess wants to win back her
husband’s love while a hormonal teenage boy wants to win the heart of every
female he meets. Timeless questions of fidelity, loyalty, friendship, trust, social
class, duty and forgiveness are set to Mozart’s delicious musical score, full of
perpetual motion, sophisticated arias and dazzling ensembles. This beloved,
heart-warming domestic comedy of manners, based on the notorious play by
Beaumarchais, is at once both bitter and sweet as secret plots, cross-dressing
characters, mistaken identities, dangerous intrigues and tender revelations add
up to one chaotic, crazy day! Sung in Italian with projected English translation.
Directed by Hank Hammett; conducted by Paul Phillips; choreographed by
Danny Buraczeski.

moderator and speak about the medieval town of Pastrana, located in the

Hawn Gallery Exhibit: “Drawn from Nature: Sketchbooks by Scott Winterrowd”
What: For the past 15 years, Dallas artist and museum educator Scott Winterrowd has
sketched a wide variety of the landscapes in the American West, including
California, New Mexico, Colorado and the Big Bend region of Texas, working
primarily in watercolor. The work of 19th-century American artist explorers,
particularly Thomas Moran and Frederic Church, and their photographic
contemporaries, Carleton Watkins and Eadweard Muybridge, along with that of
contemporary photographers working in the Rephotographic Survey Project,
sparked Winterrowd’s interest in visiting sites documented over a century ago
and considering their history and change in his own work. His interest in
distilling the essence of the forms of the overwhelming scenery of the Big Bend
was prompted by exposure to the artistic legacy of 20th-century Dallas painters
Jerry Bywaters, Otis Dozier and Alexander Hogue, who featured the region in
many of their works. For more information call 214-768-2303 or

The Rep: Three Plays Performed in Rotating Repertory: Living Out; Interim; and Big Love
What: The Division of Theatre presents three contemporary American plays in rotation

· Living Out by Lisa Loomer; directed by senior theatre student Aneesha
Kudtarkar
Feb. 21, 24 & 29 at 8 p.m.; Mar. 3 at 2 and 8 p.m.
Described variously as searingly funny, disturbing, generous, merciless,
sympathetic and engrossing, this play explores the complicated story of a
Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for as it open-heartedly
examines the prejudices and misconceptions between two cultures. It asks:
How do we make someone “the other”? What is the cost of doing so?

· Interim by Barbara Cassidy; directed by senior theatre student Ezra Bookman
Feb. 22 at 8 p.m.; Feb. 25 at 2 and 8 p.m.; Mar. 1 at 8 p.m.; Mar. 4 at 2 p.m.
In a world of hypnotic rhythms, unpredictable characters and lyrical language,
we are introduced to Joya, who is “staring at the world until it cracks to reveal
what’s in the interstices ….magic – pure hoodoo.” Interim is a marvelously
seductive challenge to conventional structure, language and characterization
by Barbara Cassidy, whose work has been seen at Flea Theatre, Little Theatre,
Dixon Place, the New York International Fringe Festival and Bric Studios.

· Big Love by Charles Mee; directed by senior theatre student Isaac McGinley
Feb. 23 at 8 p.m.; Feb. 26 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; Feb. 28 and Mar. 2 at 8 p.m.
Of this modern retelling of Aeschylus’s story of the 50 daughters of Danaus
who run away from an arranged marriage with their cousins, The Guardian
said, “Chuck Mee shakes up fragments of an ancient Greek trilogy, adds some
21st century preoccupations, and serves it up, with a knowing wink, on the
Italian Riviera.” It’s delightful, witty, athletic, coolly ironic, and…..fiercely
entertaining!
