SUMMARY:Grounded
DESCRIPTION:*** Please note that there will also be a home football game taking place on campus at 1pm this day. We encourage our patrons to arrive on campus early and please let the parking attendants know you are here for the MET opera so that you do not pay the parking fee.*** \nTwo-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded\, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play\, wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo\, one of opera’s most compelling young stars\, portrays Jess\, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas\, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle\, she fights to maintain her sanity\, and her soul\, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the Met premiere of Tesori’s kaleidoscopic score and a cast that also features tenor Ben Bliss as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess’s husband. Michael Mayer’s high-tech staging\, using a vast array of LED screens\, presents a variety of perspectives on the action\, including the drone’s predatory view from high above. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series\, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

SUMMARY:Producing the Beatles
DESCRIPTION:Based on his acclaimed podcast\, Producing the Beatles\, Jason Kruppa explores the music of the Fab Four from the perspective of the one person whose point of view has never been properly and thoroughly examined: their producer\, George Martin. Using innovative techniques to break down their recordings\, we’ll discover how the Beatles went from learning their way around the studio to becoming masters of the art of recording\, with their producer working side by side with them each step of the way. And finally\, with re-recordings and detailed recreations of Martin’s orchestral scores that allow us to hear individual instrument parts\,\, we’ll learn how his arrangements enhanced and shaped the Beatles’ music. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Songwriters By The Sea
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished NJ Songwriters Joe Rapolla and Joe D’Urso are back this year hosting the celebrated Songwriters by the Sea series at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre. What once started in a small coffee shop as an area for local songwriters has now grown into a series that features some of the top songwriters in the country. This year\, the show features special guests Willie Nile and Emily Grove\, as well as an opening set by student/artist Amani Lillian and Prof. George Wurzbach. \nA pre-show reception will be held at 7 pm for all ticket holders\, doors open at 7:30 PM\n \nThe New York Times called Buffalo\, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Bono\, Bruce Springsteen\, Pete Townshend\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. He has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews\, with Downbeat calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.” His newest studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still\, which features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands” was released on Aug 13\, 2021. \nEmily Grove has had a varied and exciting musical journey\, from coffeehouses to Berklee College of Music\, to television appearances to tours in the UK and Europe. She has toured the UK\, Ireland\, US\, and Canada\, opening up for and performing with British artist David Ford. She also had her own headlining tour in Germany\, Bulgaria\, and England. She recently put on a sold- out Joni Mitchell show\, featuring some of Asbury Park’s most talented musicians. She’s performed with/opened up for Glen Burtnik\, Brett Michaels\, Dan Reed\, David Ford\, Jeffrey Gaines\, James Maddock\, John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional)\, Ari Hest\, and many others. She’s recorded with David Ford\, Glen Burtnik\, Steve Forbert\, and UK artist Jack Henderson\, among many others. \nAbout Songwriters by the Sea:\nSongwriters by the Sea began as intimate\, casual coffeehouse jam sessions around Asbury Park\, and has since evolved into a national show attracting some of the most revered singers and songwriters of today’s scene— from David Johansen and Garland Jeffreys to Glen Burtnik\, Rhett Miller\, Marshall Crenshaw and Alison Moorer. Along the way\, D’Urso (front man of Stone Caravan and board member of WHY Hunger and Light Of Day) and Rapolla (a veteran music industry executive\, solo performer\, and front man of the band Perfect Square) have fine-tuned their circle of artists\, trading favorite songs and illuminating backstories behind their most personal works\, into a vehicle that brings out the best in the assembled talent. Whether the venue is a club\, a historic theater or a campus performing arts center\, Songwriters by the Sea has been known to turn any space into an intimate house party atmosphere; a gathering of friends and a place where something akin to magic often takes hold. \nAll net proceeds will support Monmouth University’s Endowed Music Industry Scholarships.\nSponsored by Tim Cabrey\, The Golland Family\, Don Moliver\, and Matt & Carol Wojcik in memory of Mark Wojcik.\nPhoto by John Posada

SUMMARY:Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Prof. Mike Richison (Graphic Design) will perform his Electo Electro 2024\, updated for the 2024 election cycle. This interactive installation combines audience participation\, music\, news footage\, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies\, debates\, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote\, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station. \nRichison will introduce his project\, perform\, and then open up his event for discussion. If you cannot make it to Richison’s live performance\, stop by the Ice House Gallery to see his project on display for the semester. For more on the project\, see Richison’s discussion of it in the Journal of Network Music and Arts. \nFor more information\, contact the co-chairs of ArtNOW\, Prof. Amanda Stojanov at astojano@monmouth.edu or Prof. Dickie Cox at rcox@monmouth.edu

SUMMARY:Green Worlds in Black and White: Feminist Readings of the 1930s Wood Engraving Revival
DESCRIPTION:Join us! 8th Annual Ink & Electricity: Advancing Liberal Learning in the Digital Age lecture \nA talk by Kristin Bluemel\, Ph.D. \nThe enchanting black and white pictures featured in this talk tell a forgotten feminist tale of personal freedom and commercial success achieved by women artists whose creations of wood\, ink\, and paper brought joy and beauty into the dark days of the Great Depression and World War I. \n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Wayne D. McMurray-Helen Bennett Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Monmouth University. This talk is in connection with the I Wish to Say Teach-In Series and the exhibition of Sheryl Oring’s social practice art projects on display in the DiMattio Gallery.\n\nThis fall the DiMattio Gallery is hosting an exhibition of Sheryl Oring’s “I Wish to Say” and related works. Since 2004\, Oring has traveled with her typewriter\, asking the public to dictate and mail postcards to the US President. To date\, she has typed over 4241 postcards in her attempt to use art as a catalyst for social change. Part of our exhibition programming will be a teach-in series from Monmouth University faculty\, including Bluemel\, about topics related to themes that intersect with Oring’s project as art reaches across disciplinary bounds. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Typists will be available so guests can dictate their own postcard to the US President. \nFor more information\, please contact Dr. Corey Dzenko or Dr. Kristin Bluemel.

SUMMARY:Picasso: Rebel in Paris
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years after his passing\, we embark on a journey through Pablo Picasso’s Paris\, amidst sunshine and shadow\, convictions and contradictions\, from a young\, impoverished foreigner to one of the most important icons of the 20th-century. The film moves continuously in and out of the Musée Picasso in Paris which has the largest existing collection dedicated to the painter with 6\,000 masterpieces and 200\,000 pieces of archive material\, and follows Picasso through the Parisian neighborhoods where he lived\, from the early days in ateliers with no heating to the large middle-class apartments where his success began: a physical and intellectual journey to gain a deeper understanding of his work and spirit. \n \nEstimated runtime: 90 minutes

SUMMARY:Hurricanes of Color
DESCRIPTION:Michael Frankel\, the author of Hurricanes of Color and Monmouth University alumnus will be giving an artist’s talk and book-signing hosted by Prof. Ken Womack and Prof. Joe Rapolla. \nHurricanes of Color \nIn 1964\, fifteen-year-old Mike Frankel found himself among professional photojournalists covering a Beatles concert during the band’s first tour in the United States. A few years later\, he was a regular photographer at the Fillmore East\, a storied venue in classic rock. And in 1969\, he was onstage at Woodstock\, documenting one of the most important events in American music history. \nFeaturing Frankel’s stunning photographs of nearly every major rock figure from the 1960s and ’70s―including Led Zeppelin\, Pink Floyd\, the Rolling Stones\, Janis Joplin\, and the Grateful Dead―as well as many unpublished images of the Beatles\, Hurricanes ofColor chronicles an extraordinary moment. Frankel\, who was for a time a personal photographer for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna\, developed an innovative style―one that layered images with multiple exposures to capture the spirit of the music of the era and the experience of listening to the bands live. \nA must-have for fans of classic rock\, this is a spectacular and profound collection of photography that complements the music of the world’s biggest performers.

SUMMARY:Prima Facie
DESCRIPTION:written by Suzie Miller\ndirected by Justin Martin \nJodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.
 
Tessa is a young\, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law\, burden of proof and morals diverge.
 
Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.

SUMMARY:I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All
DESCRIPTION:Sheryl Oring\, Performance of I Wish to Say | 11am-1pm | Rebecca Stafford Student Center Patio \nArtist Talk | 4:30-5:30pm | Great Hall Auditorium\nExhibition Opening Reception | 5:30-7:30pm | DiMattio Gallery\, Rechnitz Hall \nWith backgrounds in journalism and fine art\, Sheryl Oring began her ongoing project I Wish to Say in 2004 from a concern that many people’s voices were not being heard. She started to take dictation from the public about what they wanted to say to the (next) President. Dressed as a 1960s secretary with a typewriter\, she records whatever participants say onto a postcard\, making copies with carbon paper. During larger events\, a secretarial bank takes dictation. Oring mails the postcards to the White House and exhibits copies. To date she has typed over 4241 postcards. In this artist talk\, Oring will discuss I Wish to Say\, now in its 20th year\, alongside her other socially engaged art projects. \nThis talk is in connection with the exhibition I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All: 20 Years of Sheryl Oring’s I Wish to Say\, which is on display in Rechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery for the Fall 2024 semester. A reception and performance of I Wish to Say in the DiMattio Gallery will follow this talk. \nAbout the Artist \nSheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories\, examine public opinion\, and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera\, the typewriter\, the pen\, the interview\, and the archive)\, she builds on her experience in her former profession to create installations\, performances\, artist books\, and internet-based works that address themes of citizenship\, free expression\, first amendment rights\, story-telling\, and activism through art. Oring received her MFA from the University of California at San Diego. She is currently a board member for the National Coalition Against Censorship. She has held several academic positions\, most recently serving as the Dean of the School of Art at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. \nOring has shown her work at the O1SJ Biennial; Bryant Park in Manhattan; the Brooklyn Public Library; and the Jewish Museum Berlin. She has also presented work at Art in Odd Places in New York; the Art Prospect festival in St. Petersburg\, Russia; Encuentro in São Paolo\, Brazil; and the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Dubai. She has completed public art commissions at the San Diego and Tampa International Airports. Collecting institutions include the Library of Congress; Museum of Modern Art; Tate Britain; Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg; and many others. \nFor more information\, see: https://www.sheryloring.org/\nOr contact Dr. Corey Dzenko\, cdzenko@monmouth.edu \nThis exhibition was made possible with funding from the Edna Wright Andrade Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation and from the Diversity Innovation Grant Program coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. Thank you also to ArtNOW\, the Helen Bennett McMurray Endowed Chair of Social Ethics\, and Monmouth University’s Department of Art and Design and Department of Curriculum and Instruction.

SUMMARY:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2024
DESCRIPTION:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2020 showcases 20 years of design and video art inspired by the presidential election cycle. Richison began working with this topic in 2004 when he created a short video loop of George W. Bush drinking water during the debates. This evolved into performances and interactive video projects that break down language into musical and abstract elements. \nThe culmination of these explorations is Electo Electro 2024\, an interactive installation that enables participants to produce techno-inspired beats using video clips of presidential candidates. This project combines iMacs\, iPads\, custom software\, and the housing from decommissioned Diebold AccuVote TS voting booths. Users can remix videos from political rallies and debates in a structured sixteen beat loop. An iPad-based touchscreen design parodies the system employed by the AccuVote\, a voting system that was difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. \nAs a parody\, the format of Richison’s installation resembles a polling station\, while the branding and graphic elements of the project hearken back to vintage electronic devices. The AccuVote debuted in the early 2000s as the poster child of the Help America Vote Act. After its widespread adoption\, a group of researchers discovered a long list of vulnerabilities that can lead to stolen votes\, lost votes\, or a failure of the computer itself. The project deals with expectation\, failure\, and vulnerability \nOn the opening day and throughout the run of the exhibit\, Richison will perform and demonstrate this project. His goal is to “encourage users to examine media and become individuals who can control media\, rather than be controlled by it.” \nThis event is being held in conjuction with ArtNOW’s Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024 on October 4 at 10:15 AM.  \nAbout the artist\, Mike Richison: Mike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Associate Professor at Monmouth University\, where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches to artmaking\, including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects\, such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Richison has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, VICE\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, MI\, area for several years.

SUMMARY:I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All: 20 Years of Sheryl Oring’s I Wish to Say
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Corey Dzenko\, Associate Professor of Art History\nWith backgrounds in journalism and fine art\, Sheryl Oring began her ongoing project I Wish to Say in 2004 from a concern that many people’s voices were not being heard. She started to take dictation from the public about what they wanted to say to the (next) President. Dressed as a 1960s secretary with a typewriter\, she records whatever participants say onto a postcard\, making copies with carbon paper. During larger events\, a secretarial bank takes dictation. Oring mails the postcards to the White House and exhibits copies. To date she has typed over 4241 postcards. \nFor this exhibition\, MU’s DiMattio Gallery will chronologically display hundreds of I Wish to Say postcards\, photographs\, and videos of performances\, along with larger prints of select postcard texts. A timeline on the wall will note the presidential elections that span Oring’s project. The empty wall space for 2024 will fill as MU student-typists add postcards they collect during the current election season. The other half of the gallery will showcase a selection of Oring’s related projects that all involve a question\, active listening\, and a typewriter for a secretary to record dictation. These include Collective Memory (September 2011)\, recorded memories of the 9-11 attacks; Travel Desk (2014)\, travel stories that were then carved into a wooden table now installed in the San Diego International Airport; and other artworks. \nMulti-part programming will include an artist’s talk to showcase Oring’s timely and inclusive artmaking practice. MU students will participate as typists at numerous live events throughout the exhibition’s duration. MU faculty from various disciplines will hold public teach-ins in the gallery about topics related to Oring’s project. Finally\, MU is collaborating with nearby Neptune and Long Branch school districts so that high school students can dictate their own postcards to the future president. As an educator\, Oring has involved younger constituencies\, empowering the next generation of participants in both US democracy and artmaking. \nOring performs I Wish to Say: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 11am-1pm\, Rebecca Stafford Student Center Patio \nArtist talk: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 4:30-5:30pm\, Great Hall Auditorium\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 5:30-7:30pm\, DiMattio Gallery\, Rechnitz Hall \nAbout the Artist\nSheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories\, examine public opinion\, and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera\, the typewriter\, the pen\, the interview\, and the archive)\, she builds on her experience in her former profession to create installations\, performances\, artist books\, and internet-based works that address themes of citizenship\, free expression\, first amendment rights\, story-telling\, and activism through art. Oring received her MFA from the University of California at San Diego. She is currently a board member for the National Coalition Against Censorship. She has held several academic positions\, most recently serving as the Dean of the School of Art at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. \nOring has shown her work at the O1SJ Biennial; Bryant Park in Manhattan; the Brooklyn Public Library; and the Jewish Museum Berlin. She has also presented work at Art in Odd Places in New York; the Art Prospect festival in St. Petersburg\, Russia; Encuentro in São Paolo\, Brazil; and the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Dubai. She has completed public art commissions at the San Diego and Tampa International Airports. Collecting institutions include the Library of Congress; Museum of Modern Art; Tate Britain; Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg; and many others. \nFor more information\, see: https://www.sheryloring.org/\nOr contact Dr. Corey Dzenko\, cdzenko@monmouth.edu \nThis exhibition was made possible with funding from the Edna Wright Andrade Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation and from the Diversity Innovation Grant Program coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. Thank you also to ArtNOW\, the Helen Bennett McMurray Endowed Chair of Social Ethics\, and Monmouth University’s Department of Art and Design and Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
