Bruce Beasley: A New Direction
<p><strong>Bruce Beasley: A New Direction</strong></p><p><strong>Now-October 27, 2019</strong></p><p>Bruce Beasley is one of the nation’s foremost sculptors. Born in Los Angeles in 1939, Beasley studied at Dartmouth College and at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1961, he was included in the seminal exhibition “The Art of Assemblage” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1963, Beasley won the purchase prize in the Paris Biennale, one of the world’s most prestigious international exhibitions.Beasley has been involved with innovation and technology his entire career. In 1960, while a student at the University of California at Berkeley, he helped build the first bronze foundry in an art department. He invented a new process for massive casting of acrylic sculptures and he is currently exploring theuse of virtual reality as a new technology for sculpture – a new direction for the artist. Beasley’s Aurai were created using virtual reality. “When I put on the head gear,” Beasley wrote, “the stylus becomes an extension of my hand, and my imagination…. It is completely spontaneous; if I like something I’ve just created, I continue, elaborate; if not I move on.” For these collages, Beasley selects virtual reality gestures that “sing” and then prints monumental versions of these onto canvas. Beasley then studies the printed gestures and cuts them into fragments – “visual words,” as he calls them. Finally, he moves these fragments around like so many puzzle pieces, twisting, rotating, flipping, and adjusting until an arrangement becomes the wall collages currently on view. Beasley’s sculptures are in the permanent collection of numerous art museums around the world, and he has had more than sixty solo exhibitions and has been included in hundreds of group exhibitions. Beasley has also completed more than fifty monumental sculpture commissions in the United States and abroad, including large works for the Beijing Olympic Games, the World Expo in Shanghai, and the City of Cedar Rapids. This exhibition is the U.S. premiere of his new Aurai series.</p> 2019-06-20 20:00:00 -05006/20/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -
John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-06-20 16:00:00 -05006/20/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

Henry IV Part 1 (FREE!)

The story of a kingdom in trouble, and of a leader who rises from the most unlikely of places. </p><p>When King Henry IV seized the throne from Richard II, he opened a can of worms that threatens to pull England apart. If a king can be deposed once, what's to stop it from happening again? Enter: Harry "Hotspur" Percy, a dashing, battle-hardened nobleman, eyeing an insurrection. The crown's only hope is Hal, the ne'er-do-well next-in-line, who prefers an Eastcheap pub over court, and keeps the company of one Sir John Falstaff. Will Hotspur's rebellion triumph? Will Falstaff keep Hal's devotion? Will Hal languish away -- or save her country? </p><p>There will be a Green Show performance (contemporary retelling) of the show each night at 6:30. There will also be food trucks and family-friendly activities available.</p><p>Directed by Adam Knight, and featuring Tim Budd, Katy Hahn, Elliot Bales, Aaron Weiner, Kristy Hartsgrove Mooers, Robyn Calhoun, K.
