Internationally recognized as one of Africa’s greatest artists of modern times, Lamidi Fakeye’s success is due largely to his keen ability to transcend competing identities. Indeed, his career on four continents is the epitome of cultural hybridity. A practicing Muslim, Lamidi is a fifth-generation Yoruba religious carver best known for his sculptures of Christian and Yoruba religious themes and cultural subjects. His body of work encompasses six decades and addresses these multiple identities. At 81 year of age, he is still active and carves daily.

In the exhibit Photographic Prevarications, simple subject matter is presented in such a way as to underscore photography’s ability to tell untruths. Richard Koenig usually works with pictures that are re-photographed in some fashion or another. This duplicative tactic is used as a way of exploring the inherent tension that exists within photography—the capacity to both depict and deceive, concurrently. As a result, the viewer is placed at a point where depiction and deception meet, and is left teetering between the two.

by Ted Tally

8 p.m.—Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center

 

In 1911 British adventurer Robert Falcon Scott and Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen raced to be the first men to reach the South Pole. Braving a brutal, ice choked and stormy sea to reach Antarctica , the two men’s expeditions set out across the most unforgiving climate on the earth. Drawn from letters and journals, Terra Nova captures the epic sweep of times and personalities when the last places on the earth had not been conquered by man. Ted Tally’s play is a stirring, vast, tragic, but ultimately life affirming portrait of the best and worst in our natures.

Jeff Eisenberg’s drawings and paintings explore issues of abstraction and form, space-shaping and architecture, engineered realities and utopian fantasies, territorializing and the built environment. Eisenberg is interested in how we code and design our spaces, both public and private, and how different agendas and ideologies related to these spaces can commingle to create new and unexpected systems.

Imani Winds has established itself as more than a wind quintet. Since 1997, the Grammy nominated ensemble has taken a unique path, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with its dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, genre-blurring collaborations, and inspirational outreach programs. With two member composers and a deep commitment to commissioning new work, the group is enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire while meaningfully bridging European, American, African, and Latin American traditions. Watch an interview and samples of the ensemble's playing recorded by Carnegie Hall for the premier of Daniel Bernard Roumain's work, "5 Chairs and 1 Table."

by William Shakespeare

8 p.m.—Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center

 

This joyous play, the last of Shakespeare's extraordinary career, sums up his stagecraft with a display of seemingly effortless skill. Prospero, exiled Duke of Milan, living on an enchanted island, has the opportunity to punish and forgive his enemies when he raises a tempest that drives them ashore—as well as to forestall a rebellion, to arrange the meeting of his daughter, Miranda, with an eminently suitable young prince, and, more important, to relinquish his magic powers in recognition of his advancing age. Richly filled with music and magic, romance and comedy, the play's theme of love and reconciliation offers a splendid feast for the senses and the heart.
