EXHIBITIONS AT MAG CHANGING HANDS: Art WITHOUT Reservation 3 Through February 10, 2013 in the Grand Gallery The 140 works in this major traveling exhibition celebrate the richness and diversity of contemporary Native and First Nations art. In addition to interpreting—and often redefining—such traditional media as basketry, beadwork, textiles, wood, metalwork and stone, the artists in Changing Hands have embraced video, pho- tography, and performance and installation art. Among the themes they explore are the natural and spiritual worlds as sources of inspiration; the reinterpretation of traditions; and the often politically charged issue of cultural assimilation. The final installment of a series organized by New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, this exhibition showcases artists from eastern Canada and the US Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. Among them are several artists with ties to western New York. This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York City. In Rochester, it is sponsored by M&T Bank and the Robert L. and Mary L. Sproull Fund, with additional support from the John D. Greene Endowment for Contemporary Exhibitions, Deanne Molinari, Ganondagan and Mann’s Jewelers. FRAMING EDO: MASTERWORKS FROM HIROSHIGE’S ONE HUNDRED FAMOUS VIEWS Through January 13, 2013 in the Lockhart Gallery This exhibition showcases more than 30 iconic prints by 19th-century Japanese master Ando (Utagawa) Hiroshige. These stunningly beautiful works from Hiroshige’s masterpiece One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (ca. 1856–58) are drawn from the extensive collection of Professor Arthur R. Miller, UR ‘56, ‘08 (LLD). They depict the artist’s nostalgic response to the rapid changes to mid-century Edo, now Tokyo, after Japan opened to the West during the mid-1800s. Presented in honor of the members of the University of Rochester’s George Eastman Circle. Renaissance REMIX: Art & Imagination IN 16TH-CENTURY EUroPE Long-term installation in the Dorothy McBride Gill Discovery Center See the world of the Renaissance through the eyes of a young boy growing up in mid 16th-century Europe— a time of great political, cultural, religious and social change. Imagine that your world has been transformed by the invention of the printing press, the “discovery” of the New World, and a widespread explosion of intel- lectual and artistic energy. This long-term installation showcases more than 30 works from the collections of MAG, the Metropolitan Museum and the Corning Museum of Glass. Hands-on activities, videos, touch screens and listening posts explore the Renaissance “spirit of change.” Made possible by funding from Dan and Dorothy Gill. Additional support has been provided by the Thomas and Marion Hawks Memorial Fund, the Mabel Fenner Lyon Fund, the estate of Emma Jane Drury, and an anonymous donor. more.

  • Originally Adaptated from French and Flemish Chansons, the Canzon Is a Type of Instrumental Music That Was Popularized in the 16Th and 17Th Centuries
    Originally adaptated from French and Flemish chansons, the canzon is a type of instrumental music that was popularized in the 16th and 17th centuries. Most often characterized with the opening dactylic rhythm (long, short, short), the canzon da sonar (chanson to be played) became independent of earlier vocal models in the 1570s, and by 1600 had become the most important form of instrumental music in Italy. Ensemble canzoni were composed by all sorts of musicians—from the master composer/organist Giovanni Gabrieli with his multi- choired works for the ceremonies at San Marco in Venice, to lesser-known Northern European composers like Erasmus Widmann, who spent most of his career working as court musician in the region of Germany near Nuremberg. Widmann’s canzoni, included in his Gantz Neue Cantzon, Intraden, Balletten und Couranten (Nuremberg, 1618) were considered his finest instrumental works. Strikingly similar to the Venetian canzoni of earlier decades, these canzoni were described by composer Michael Praetorius—the greatest musical academic of the day—as “fresh, joyful, and fast.” While most of the Venetian canzoni of the period are written in four parts, Widmann composed his instrumental music in five parts much like the music of his contemporaries Brade and Simpson. This scoring, with two equal soprano parts, makes Widmann’s canzoni particularly well suited to adaptation by the modern brass quintet. Charles Whittenberg's Little Fantasy on Bach's Advent-Chorale: “Nun komm, der heiden Heiland” (Cantata #62) had its premiere performance at Philharmonic Hall, Lincoln Center on December 31, 1968. After a statement of the Chorale theme, Whittenberg develops the material in a brilliant fashion.

  • Closure of the Kodak Plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from Industrial Transitions
    Closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from industrial transitions SEI brief Key insights: June 2021 • Rochester went through a decades-long process of industrial transition as the Eastman Kodak Company, a photography technology company, cut more than 80% of its jobs from Aaron Atteridge its height in the 1980s to its bankruptcy in 2012. Claudia Strambo • Rochester emerged from the transition with a more diverse economy, and with higher levels of employment. Key to this positive outcome was the city’s use of the existing infrastructure and skill set to reorient the regional economy and enable the development of new tech companies. • Universities and major cultural institutions supported the transition by attracting research funding and companies seeking high-skilled workers, and by collaborating with the private sector to develop training programs that matched the skills companies needed. • Even as the economy has grown, however, the city centre has suffered from population loss and urban decay. Acute inequalities remain: new employment opportunities mainly benefitted high-skill workers, and the quality of jobs, in terms of wages and security, has decreased. • In an industrial transition, it is important to implement measures to specifically address poverty and marginalization, and to ensure broader economic diversification, as well as use a broad set of indicators when assessing the effectiveness of transition policies. This case study examines the decline and ultimately closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, New York, United States. It is part of a series that looks at four historical cases involving the decline of major industrial or mining activities.
