Morabito & Edelmann at Gallery 195
Maria Morabito
Maria Morabito
The Arts Council of Greater New Haven presents an exhibition of works by Maria Morabito and Lambert Edelmann at Gallery 195 at First Niagara Bank, 195 Church St., 4th floor, New Haven. The exhibition will be on display during bank hours through September 14, 2012 (Mon.-Wed. 9-4, Thurs & Fri. 9-5). An artists’ reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

Morabito finds inspiration in biochemical processes in the brain, as well as the history of written documentation. Edelmann studies the struggle between building and decay, destruction to seek control, domination of nature by civilizations, and domination of cultures by other cultures.

For more information about this exhibition and Gallery 195 at First Niagara Bank, call the Arts Council at (203) 772-2788.

"The Symbolism of Places" artworks by Michael Kozlowski
The New Haven Free Public Library Gallery
133 Elm Street (Lower Level) New Haven, CT
Artist Reception: Saturday, July 7, 2 to 4:30 PM
Artist website: http://mdkpainting.mosaicglobe.com/

"My inspiration" says artist Michael Kozlowski, "has always come from painters who have the ability to create and display another world that not only allows you to visit but draws you in and bars the door behind you. Whether this is done through the intrigue created by the symbolism and careful technique of Edward Hopper, or through the visual attack that comes from many paintings by Turner, creating work that has this type of arresting power and presence is my goal."

Many of his recent paintings have been large scale, immersive works depicting store windows and interior spaces executed in varying styles to evoke different feelings and emotions. These works are left intentionally oblique so that, rather than dictate a particular meaning or point of view, they can be the catalyst for a dialogue with the work. Michael continues to push his art in new directions, recently experimenting with portraiture and mixed media.

Exhibition: June 28 - August 1, 2012
Gallery Hours: Monday: 12 - 8 pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 10 am - 8 pm
Friday & Saturday: 10 - 5 pm (Summer hours now includes Saturday).

Brian Brooks Moving Company
Wesleyan University’s Center for the Arts presents two performances by the New York-based dance company Brian Brooks Moving Company, featuring the New England premiere of the work "Big City" (2012), on Thursday, July 12 and Friday, July 13, 2012 at 8pm in the CFA Theater, located at 271 Washington Terrace on the Wesleyan campus in Middletown.

Mr. Brooks' signature solo work, "I'm Going to Explode" (2007), which is set to music by LCD Soundsystem, will open the performances at Wesleyan, providing the audience with a clear point of entry into who Mr. Brooks is as a choreographer and performer. The first half of the evening will also feature performances of the full company work "Descent" (2011), which premiered at the Joyce Theater; and the duet from "Motor" (2010), which premiered at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival.

The second half of the evening will feature the new piece "Big City", which includes a large scale, geometric, kaleidoscoping aluminum set designed by Mr. Brooks and Philip Treviño, which is a contrast to the rich, soft costumes designed by Roxana Ramseur. Click here to watch a video about the creation of Brian Brooks Moving Company's "Big City" in Santa Barbara on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-ICHEGOafo&feature=player_embedded

JULY 10 *Con Fidel Pase Lo Que Pase (With Fidel, come what may) documentary | Serbia & Cuba | 2011 | 52 min. Screened by arrangement with director Goran Radovanovic, with funding from the City of New Haven Peace Commission.
On the day before festivities that will celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, an old man repairs an ancient motorcycle; a young dentist tries to find transport to patients waiting at a clinic on a remote mountain; a middle-aged couple hosts a telephone booth for villagers’ use in their modest house. But the celebrations change nothing, and the next day is pretty much the same. Bullhorns and the ideological slogans they blared out all day are both 52 years old... But the revolution continues...For how long? *Preceeded by short film, From Maids to Companeras (directed By Jean Weisman and Belkis Vega)

JULY 17 King of Devil’s Island drama | Norway | 2011 | 116 min.
Film is set in early 20th- century and is based on a true story about the infamous Bastoy Reform School in Norway.

Presented with support from the International Association of New Haven.

JULY 24 Amador drama | Spain | 2012 | 113 min.
A young immigrant with financial troubles works for a bed-ridden older man. How she deals with his sudden death tells a tragi-comic story about the impact of politics on individuals at the bottom of the socio-economic pile. Presented with support from the International Association of New Haven.

The Arts Council Needs Your Input

We want to learn what Connecticut artists in the performing, literary and media arts need to help them succeed professionally. This short survey will take about five minutes and will help us develop business training for artists. Your responses will be confidential and never identified with you, but will make a real difference in helping us address artists’ needs.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you would like to share this with friends in the arts, please do. However, it is very important that you forward it before you open it so the link to the survey will work for you and for your friends. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YHGYBFD

Be Part of PechaKucha
Fine Citizens of New Haven [and Beyond]:

With the economy teetering on the brink of another recession, a massive heat wave on the way, an epidemic of folks eating bath salts and, regrettably, a probable zombie invasion, we can all agree that what the world needs now more than ever —to lift us out of our global malaise— is a series of fast-paced, pithy and inspiring presentations about All The Cool Things Happening In & Around Our Community.

And so, a city turns its lonely eyes towards you, PechaKuchan.

That’s right, folks — the Elm City’s finest purveyor of Local-Awesomeness-In-Twenty-Second-Increments is back for Summer Edition on Wednesday, August 29th. But what would a PechaKucha New Haven event be without presenters? (Answer: a bunch of people awkwardly standing around at Bentara at 7:30 pm on 29 August, obviously).

That’s where you come in. Tell New Haven what you and yours are up to/ working on/ thinking of/ solving. Artists, entrepreneurs, hackers, nerds, poets, scientists, engineers, sandbox designers, city planners, rowing coaches, MFA candidates, cyclist authors —we want you there.

Come on out for Summer. More info here.
