    Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword Imagine a world without performing or visual arts. Imagine – no opera houses, no theatres or concert halls, no galleries or museums, no dance, music, theatre, collaborative arts or circus – and in an instant we appreciate the essential, colourful, emotive and inspiring place that creative pursuits hold in our daily life. Creating opportunities for arts to flourish is vital, and this includes realising inspiring venues which are cutting edge, beautiful, functional, sustainable, have the right balance of architecture, acoustics, theatrical and visual functionality and most importantly are magnets for artists and audiences, are enjoyable spaces and places, and allow the shows and exhibitions to go on. 4 Performing Arts Bendigo Art Gallery 5 Performing Arts Arts and Culture Performing and Visual Arts 03 08 – 87 88 – 105 Foreword Performing Musicians, Arts Artists, Sculptors and Festivals 106 – 139 140 – 143 144 Visual Arup Services Photography Arts Clients and Credits Collaborators Contents Foreword 3 Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 46 Singapore South Bank Studio, Queensland Symphony Orchestra 50 Australia Performing Marina Bay Sands Theatres 52 Arts 8 Singapore Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Federation Concert Hall 56 Melbourne Recital Centre 10 Australia Australia Chatswood Civic Place 58 Sydney Opera House 14 Australia Australia Carriageworks 60 Glasshouse Arts, Conference and Australia Entertainment Centre 16 Australia Greening the Arts Portfolio 64 Australia Melbourne

  • Staatskapelle Dresden
    Staatskapelle Dresden Staatskapelle Dresden Matthias Claudi PR und Marketing Theaterplatz 2 Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor 01067 Dresden Germany Myung-Whun Chung, Principal Guest Conductor T 0351 4911 380 herberb Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate F 0351 4911 328 [email protected] Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and steeped in tradition. Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden.

    The Journal of Public Space ISSN 2206-9658 2018 | Vol. 3 n. 3 https://www.journalpublicspace.org VIEWPOINT Art as a catalyst to activate public space: the experience of ‘Triumphs and Laments’ in Rome Thomas Rankin California Polytechnic Rome Program, Italy [email protected] THE JOURNAL OF PUBLIC SPACE THE JOURNAL Figure 1. ‘Triumphs and Laments’ art work by William Kentridge in Rome, on the Tiber riverfront. Source: the author. Many cities have rediscovered and reinvented their river fronts as public spaces in recent years. From New York to Seoul, urban waterways which were forgotten, marginalized, or outright abandoned are now filled with life. In each case the transformation was spurred by a combination of grass roots, bottom-up initiative and savvy government recognition of ISSN 2206-9658 | 139 City Space Architecture / UN-Habitat Art as a catalyst to activate public space the projects’ potentials. Once the city leaders embraced the projects - and not a moment sooner - public and private funding materialized and bureaucratic barriers disappeared. In Rome, whether due to the complexity of the chain of responsibility for the river front, or simply an ingrained aversion to progressive planning - saying no or saying nothing is much easier than taking responsibility for positive change - initiatives to renew the urban riverfront have been small and disconnected. Diverse interests ranging from green space to water transit, from river front commerce to ecological restoration, have all vied for a role in the river’s regeneration. But one particular discipline, that of art, has succeeded more than others in attracting international attention and changing the way people in Rome and throughout the (art) world see the Tiber.

    William Kentridge Thick Time 21 September - 15 January 2017 Large print labels and interpretation Gallery 1 1 Left of gallery door: William Kentridge Thick Time William Kentridge (b.1955) lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. This exhibition takes a journey through a series of environments he created between 2003 and 2016. His work spans drawing and printmaking, film, performance, dance, music, tapestry and sculpture. Kentridge’s expressionist drawings stand in a tradition of radical figuration from Francisco de Goya in the 19th century to Max Beckmann, George Grosz or Käthe Kollwitz in the early 20th century. His great skill as a draughtsman combines with his interest in early cinema and in theatre. (continues on next page) 2 The experience of studying radical mime and acting techniques at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris and being part of an experimental theatre group in Johannesburg in the late 1970s and 1980s has been a major influence. Kentridge often collaborates with composers, dancers, musicians, puppeteers and designers; and has directed a number of operas. Six immersive installations are located over two floors of the museum. The themes in Kentridge’s work emerge from his experience of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa and his reflections on colonialism and exile. The works also show his fascination with the utopian aspirations of early Modernism; the science and politics of time and space; the beauty and fragility of the natural world; and the nature of creativity. 3 Right side of gallery door: Untitled (Bicycle Wheel II) n/a 2012 Steel, timber, brass, aluminium, bicycle parts and found objects Courtesy William Kentridge; Marian Goodman Gallery (New York/Paris/London); Goodman Gallery (Johannesburga and Cape Town); Lia Rumma Gallery (Naples and Milan) 4 Left of gallery, clockwise: WILLIAM KENTRIDGE: THICK TIME This gallery presents three installations.

With her exceptional technique, versatility and acting talent Íride Martínez presents different roles of different styles and eras. Íride Martínez began her musical education in her native country Costa Rica. Then she had the unique opportunity to go to Europe. There celebrities such as Mirella Freni, Elio Battaglia and Wilma Lipp have taught her in acting and singing. For a Costa Rican, this is then as now inconceivable. Therefore Íride Martínez is for many of her fellow countrymen a great symbol. In 2014 she celebrated her 20th stage anniversary. Recent appearances include her long awaited Japan debut with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra touring through the country's most important concert halls with Beethoven's SYMPHONY NO. IX, further, again an invitation to Semperoper Dresden as Fiakermilli in ARABELLA under Christian Thielemann. Until 2016, Íride was a member of the Vienna State Opera where she excelled as Queen of the night, Gilda and especially as Marie in LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT side by side with star tenor Juan Diego Flórez. After her debut with Norina in DON PASQUALE in 1994 at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, from 1995 to 2002 Íride was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Cologne Opera.

Whereas the enigmatic podium refusenik Carlos Kleiber has risen by virtue of his charisma to the narrow ranks of the century’s greatest conductors alongside Arturo Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler, the spell of the former “miracle” Karajan seems to have been broken comprehensively, and Karl Böhm appears to be almost forgotten.
