Follow the River: An evening of music with composer Bruce Wolosoff and his daughter, songwriter Juliet Garrett

Composer/Pianist Bruce Wolosoff
Singer/Songwriter Juliet Garrett

perform their own works, solo and with band

Band:

Cellist – Dorothy Lawson
Guitarist – John Brodeur
Electric Bass – Sam Minaie
Drums – Chuck Staab

An evening of original music by Bruce Wolosoff and his daughter, Juliet Garrett. Mr. Wolosoff is a composer and pianist, whose credits include 3 ballets with choreographer Ann Reinking and a recent recording of his cello concerto by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His work has been recognized for the way it integrates modern, classical, jazz, and blues together into “an authentic American voice”.

Ms. Garrett is a songwriter and singer who has recently finished recording her first EP, Make Believe, in London. Raised on Shelter Island, she has played across Europe and in New York, most recently appearing this summer at Stephen Talkhouse and at Annie O’s Standard Sounds showcase. Her songs resonate as ‘honest,’ ‘heartfelt,’ and ‘classic,’ bringing ‘the tradition of 70’s formal songwriting into the modern day.’ 

The two will share the stage for a one-night-only, father/daughter concert presentation of their work on Friday, September 6th, at the John Drew Theater in Guild Hall. 

Mr. Wolosoff will perform solo piano as well as sections of a new work in progress inspired by the Odyssey, with a band including electric guitar, bass, drums, piano, synthesizer and electric cello (played by Dorothy Lawson of the string quartet ETHEL). Ms. Garrett will play a set of her songs with a band, featuring Dorothy, guitarist John Brodeur of Bird Streets, and Melody Gardot’s rhythm section: Sam Minaie on bass and Chuck Staab on drums.

Guild Hall Game Night

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Azul, a beautiful tile-based game about building a mosaic wall. In Azul, players take turns strategically selecting colorful tiles from a common supply available to all players. At the end of each round, acquired tiles are slid over into each player’s mosaic wall and points are scored based on connecting tiles. Azul, 2018’s game of the year, is a great, easy game to learn and has beautiful, tactile pieces to play with.

Out with the old, in with the new!

In the past couple decades, game designers have been creating fascinating, immersive games that make Monopoly seem like it was designed in 1905. Game night no longer means suffering through hours of rolling dice in Monopoly or Risk. Today’s games cultivate creativity, problem solving, social skills, and dexterity through clever game design. Join Guild Hall and Game Master Noah Salaway in embracing the tabletop revolution as we play some of the best modern games on the market the last Monday of each month. Ages 16 and up only.

Christine Sciulli’s primary medium is light. Sciulli allows the architecture of a room to dictate the composition of her work and then transforms the space to that vision. In Phosphene Dreams, a site-specific installation in Guild Hall’s Woodhouse Gallery, Sciulli will explore qualities of rigidity and fluidity by projecting light onto suspended fabric forms to create an illuminated and voluminous sculpture. Viewers are invited to be immersed in the environment and choose from a variety of perspectives and places to sit, linger, play, and interact with the work, as atmospheric shapes appear to grow and dissolve around the gallery.

ugo rondinone: sunny days

All Galleries
Christina Mossaides Strassfield, Curator

Private Member Reception – August 10, 2019
Conversation with Ugo Rondinone and Bob Nickas – August 10, 2019

Guild Hall is delighted to be presenting works by the renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone in the exhibition, sunny days, featuring sun-themed sculpture and paintings, as well as a collaboration with area school children. The exhibition, which explores the sun as a motif and metaphor, is divided into three parts: paintings, sculptures, and a community art project.

In a new series of eight “sun paintings,” Rondinone references the radiance and universal symbolism of the sun. He has incorporated this imagery in his work since 1991, and uses canvas spray-painted with soft concentric yellow rings as a representation of the sun and the impossibility of seeing its form with the naked eye. These eight paintings will be installed in Guild Hall’s Woodhouse Gallery.

A selection of large sun sculptures will be placed at alternating angles in Guild Hall’s Moran Gallery. These large-scale circular rings are made from vine branches which were cast in aluminum and then gilded. The artist chose to depict the vine as a symbol of renewal because of its life cycle from growth to dormancy and rebirth to a fruitful state every year—reminiscent of the solar cycle.

Following similar projects that Rondinone has carried out in Rotterdam, Shanghai, Rome, Berkeley, Cincinnati and Moscow, the artist has invited children from the East End to help him create a gallery of sun drawings. Students from local schools, daycare centers and afterschool programs will participate and create depictions of the sun to be displayed salon style in the Spiga Gallery.

Rondinone, who has a home on the North Fork, is a New York-based, Swiss-born mixed-media artist who has spent the last 25 years working in a diverse range of mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, video, installation, and sculpture. Whether trance-inducing mandala paintings, large-scale drawings from nature, moody multi-channel video environments, painted stone sculptures, or full-scale clown figures, Rondinone moves fluidly between figuration and abstraction. Rondinone often incorporates the theme of time and space in his work and explores the emotional and psychic understanding found in the most basic elements of everyday life; in this exhibition it is the Sun and its radiance.

Ugo Rondinone has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at institutions, including Bass Museum of Art, Miami; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow; Place Vendôme, Paris; MACRO and Mercati di Traiano, Rome; The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Museum Anahuacalli, Mexico City; Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai; Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens; Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna; and Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle, Belgium. In 2016, Rondinone’s large-scale public work seven magic mountains opened outside Las Vegas, co-produced by the Art Production Fund and Nevada Museum of Art. In 2017, Rondinone curated a city-wide exhibition, Ugo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno, which honored the artist’s life partner in thirteen venues throughout Manhattan.
