 | Highlights of the Collection: Charles Partridge Adams Paintings
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The CU Art Museum presents two paintings by the noted Colorado landscape painter Charles Partridge Adams, including a never-before-shown, large-scale painting of Rocky Mountain scenery near Estes Park, titled Sunrise on the Mountains, circa 1920, recently conserved by the CU Art Museum, and gifted to the museum’s permanent collection by the artist’s sons. The exhibition will also feature the more intimate Untitled (Mountain Landscape), circa 1920, which likely depicts Moraine Park. Born in Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver at the age of 18 and eventually became perhaps the most prolific and well known of the turn-of-the-century Colorado painters. Receiving artistic encouragement from Helen Henderson Chain, herself a pupil of George Inness, Adams shied away from the grandiose style employed by his contemporaries, preferring to accentuate the emotive in his landscapes and ushering in a long tradition of modernist landscape painting in the Rocky Mountain region. |
 | Highlights of the Collection: Selections from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program Gift
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
In 2008, the CU Art Museum received 156 photographs by Andy Warhol as a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The CU Art Museum will premier 112 of the gifted photographs which include Polaroids and gelatin silver prints featuring celebrities such as Martha Graham, Pelé, and John Denver, as well as portraits of patrons, friends, and anonymous models. Included among the gifted gelatin silver prints are also landscapes and interior settings, both rural and urban, which reveal an aesthetic of the banal as well as the transcendental. The photographs provide valuable insight into the artist’s blurring of the distinction between “life” and “art” and his construct of “the celebrity.” The exhibition includes 80 Polaroids and 32 gelatin silver prints taken by the Pop-Art master.
Concurrent Exhibition: Warhol In Colorado, an exhibition featuring screen prints, photographs, record album covers and other works by Andy Warhol, will be on view at The University of Denver’s Victoria H. Myhren Gallery from January 20 to March 13, 2011. Also included are 55 Polaroids and silver prints gifted to the university by the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in 2008.

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
The University of Colorado Boulder Theatre and Dance Proudly Presents:
THE PILLOWMAN, by Martin McDonagh
Jan 26-30
Directed by LoriLee Wallace ...
University of Colorado, Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present “The Pillowman” by Martin McDonagh.
Truth
or Fiction? In this spellbinding black comedy, the classic who-done-it
plot is turned on its (severed) head when a writer of gruesome murder
stories is arrested.
The play’s protagonist is an arrogant man
whose 400 short pieces of fiction — only one published — might be read
as a how-to guide of “101 ways to skewer a 5-year-old.” McDonagh feels
life, much like storytelling, is a puzzle without solution and that
there are no happy endings. He weaves complex thoughts and gory acts
into a gripping, very entertaining theatre experience.
January 26-30
Presented in the Loft Theatre

| Nathan Wheeler's "Sept. 6th," multimedia performance
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
September Sixth is Boulder artist Nathan Wheeler's musical/theatrical memoir and response to the devastating Four Mile Canyon fire.
The hour-long performance will be presented two evenings: 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Jan. 28-29 in the ATLAS Black Box, downstairs, lower-level B2, CU-Boulder.
CU music graduate Wheeler explains, “September Sixth is my reaction to the Four Mile Canyon Fire which started on September 6th, 2010. The fire burned our home to the ground–home to my grandfather who built the house, my parents, younger brother and me. My grandfather built the house in the 1960s. My mother and her family were raised there. And so were my brother and I. We moved in when I was 6."
The piece uses a combination of found art, sound sculpture, dance, music and video to explore the fire, its aftermath and effect on Wheeler's life. A variety of photos of the site taken by collaborators Michael Theodore, Jeff Ruane, Mark McCoin and as well as Wheeler will be projected on the wall of the ATLAS lobby.
“The performance will feature myself on electronics, harmonium, voice, guitar and found objects. I will also do live video and dance. Janet Feder (a regular performer with the Boulder Laptop Orchestra) will play prepared guitar and found objects. Mark McCoin will also play found objects. CU masters graduate Curtis Broome will play drums. Luke Iwabuchi and Skye Hughes of CU's dance department will provide movement.
“The work will mirror the emotions I went through because of the fire–surprise, anguish and suffering, then acceptance, and finally–peace, joy and reverence."
Musical genres include a cappella, ambient, drone, noise, post-hardcore rock, and electronica. Live video accompanies most of the performance. Dance includes contact improvisation.
The show is free and open to the public.
Reservations are recommended. Reserve your seat here: http://septsixth.eventbrite.com/
Note: The show will have moments of loud sustained sounds–earplugs will be provided at the door.
