  • The Boston Modern Orchestra Project's January 2008 Premiere of Ezra Sims's Concert Piece II, Featuring Clarinetists Michael
    The Boston Modern Orchestra Project’s January 2008 premiere of Ezra Sims’s Concert Piece II, featuring clarinetists Michael Norsworthy and Amy Advocat, was one of the most thrilling concert experiences I can remember. I’ve been an admirer of Sims’s music for many years, and I am familiar with his distinctive microtonal style—certain characteristic intervals and harmonies, ostinati, and phrase contours. But despite my familiarity, I found myself laughing out loud with pleasure at this latest, and very grand, example of Sims’s continued resolve and daring. Years ago the Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell called Sims’s music “subversive,” and I believe in a sense he was right. With certain aspects of his music Sims sticks to tradition; for example, Concert Piece II is a double concerto with classic instrumentation, in ABA form, with clear motivic development, arching “antecedent” and “consequent” phrases, even tonality (albeit of an idiosyncratic kind). However, within conventional parameters such as these Sims produces sonorities that subvert our expectations on a visceral level. From the very opening of Concert Piece II, over undulating and pulsating microtonal figures in the strings and bassoons, the clarinets begin trading off strange, soaring lines with intervals such as 1/3 tones, 2/3 tones, and 1/6-tone-augmented minor thirds. The melodies are elegant, articulate, intensely expressive, and even seem to have familiar contours—yet they are also startlingly alien. This feeling is somehow underscored when the oboe enters with its own wild take on the theme, and then even further when later the violins, flutes, and oboe take up the thematic line in unison.

  • Jack Whitten
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release Jack Whitten Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street 26 January – 8 April 2017 Opening reception: Thursday 26 January, 6 – 8 pm New York… Beginning 26 January 2017, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition devoted to the work of American abstractionist Jack Whitten. The show will feature selections from the artist’s newest bodies of work from 2015 – 2017, including tessellated paintings from the series Quantum Walls, and Portals; a piece from Whitten’s ongoing Black Monolith project honoring African-American visionaries; and assorted lenticular works on evolon. Lushly material explorations of space and its apertures, these works celebrate the distinctive painterly language that Whitten has developed over the course of a five-decade career. ‘Jack Whitten’ will remain on view at Hauser & Wirth’s West 22nd Street space through 8 April 2017. Moving to New York City to study art at Cooper Union in the early 1960s, Whitten was exposed to a range of influences, from the vigorous paintings of fellow artists Willem de Kooning and Norman Lewis, to the rich complexity HAUSER & WIRTH of bebop. Within this cultural milieu he developed an experimental style that combined the expressive physicality of gestural abstraction with the conceptual rigor of systems art. A radical breakthrough in 1970 provided the basis for his mode of working today: lifting a thick slab of acrylic paint off its support, Whitten realized that paint could be coaxed into the form of an independent object, challenging preexisting ideas about dimensionality in visual art. He began to lay sliced acrylic ribbons in wet, uneven fields of paint, mimicking the setting of mosaic tessarae into wet masonry.
