 | Keeping It Real: Korean Artists in the Age of Multi-Media Representation
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Opening Reception February 2, 2012, 6-8pm with a major related symposium February 4, 2012 in ATLAS 100. Further details about the symposium to be announced.
Curated by J.P. Park, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Colorado Boulder
This exhibition comments on the contemporary state of South Korean art by offering a unique and unprecedented opportunity to experience new art forms pioneered by emerging Korean artists working in Seoul, New York, and Europe. The artists in this exhibition lead us into a mysterious, ironic, and hybrid reality, a reality that completely challenges our perceptions of the world as we are conditioned to think about it. The works on view are a series of dialogues that illuminate conjunctures between real life and fantasy which present objects and human behaviors through a creative and conceptual kaleidoscope. The virtual reality in their art—a hyper-reality materialized in scientific, technological, and global idioms—unerringly subverts our intellectual, experienced, and intuitive knowledge about art and society. These artists belong to a new generation, born since the tumultuous social and political phase of modern Korean society subdued; without the Cold War, without riot police, yet possessing access to the larger world via the internet, opportunities to travel abroad, and products promoted locally by global corporations. The exhibition features photography, video, site-specific installation, and sculpture and includes the work of eight artists including:
Kyung Woo Han
Yong-ho Ji
Yeondoo Jung
Shin-il Kim
Sun K. Kwak
Hyungkoo Lee
Jaye Rhee
Kiwoun Shin
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the NBT Charitable Trust, the HBB Foundation, Arts Council Korea, Wayne F. Yakes, MD, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees. Additional funding for the related symposium is generously provided by the James and Rebecca Roser Visiting Artist Program and the Center for Asian Studies, University of Colorado Boulder. |

 | The Anxiety of Influence: Selections from the CU Art Museum's Ceramics Collection
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum and Kim Dickey, Professor, Department of Art and Art History, University of Colorado Boulder
Drawing on Harold Bloom's seminal work of poetic criticism, "The Anxiety of Influence," to interpret the significant role that "influence" plays within the global history, culture, and tradition of ceramics, this exhibition will present Modern and Contemporary Ceramics as well as selected historic works from the CU Art Museum's permanent collection. The exhibition will feature major pieces by Scott Chamberlin, Rick Dillingham, Arthur Gonzalez, Wayne Higby, Anne Kraus, Graham Marks, Jim Melchert, Linda Sikora, Suo Tan, Peter Voulkos, Betty Woodman and many others. The exhibition will also include works on paper by noted ceramic artists such as Robert Arneson and Ken Price to further explore the conceptual, aesthetic, and methodological influences on Modern and Contemporary ceramic artists. While many previous exhibitions have chronicled the decorative and technological influences of various ceramic traditions as they travelled across Eastern and Western cultures, this exhibition is the first to apply Bloom's complicated post-Freudian theories of "influence" to the realm of ceramics and its poetics, in order to construct a more complex understanding of the medium.

 | CU Opera: Il teatro del Friuli & Rossini's La Cambiale di Matrimonio
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Rossini's first professional opera, La cambiale di matrimonio debuted in 1810, and heralded the arrival of a great operatic talent. (The title translates as The Marriage Contract.) In this operatic farce, true love is threatened when a visiting businessman attempts to win himself a wife as part of a contract with a miserly merchant. The merchant's daughter wants to marry for love, and the resulting negotiations lead to comic complications.
La cambiale will be performed by a combination of CU-Boulder students and professional Italian singers in conjunction with the Piccolo Festival Friuli Venezia Giulia. (The students will be reprising their roles from an August 2011 production of the same one-act as part of the Piccolo Festival in the Friuli region of Italy.) It will be preceded by an original operatic adaptation penned by Patrick Mason, Il Teatro del Friuli, a farcical look at the backstage life of operatic production. |

 | Brett Dennen w/Places & Kyle James Hauser
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
California singer/songwriter Brett Dennen visits Boulder for a live performance including songs from his latest album, Loverboy. Opening for Brett is Places.
“In our world today we need to take every chance we have to empower
people to make change. We are hoping touring will provide a model for
bridging socially conscious music and people. Music is the magic of
change.” – Brett Dennen
Dennen’s wunderkind rise has been impressive. In 2004 Dennen released
his self-titled debut, followed quickly by his sophomore LP So Much
More (2006,) which spent months on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. The
release drew the attention of John Mayer, for whom Dennen opened in 2006
and 2007. In 2008 the artist released his follow-up, Hope for the
Hopeless, which debuted at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 and firmly
established Dennen as a definitive new voice in modern songwriting. He’s
worked with Femi Kuti, Natalie Merchant, and Jason Mraz; he’s toured
with Dave Matthews, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and The John Butler Trio; and
he’s played Bonarroo, Austin City Limits, Coachella, Outside Lands, and
Newport Folk Festival. He’s also become the go-to guy for some of the
best and most artfully soundtracked contemporary TV shows. His songs
have appeared on Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, Parenthood, Brothers &
Sisters, and House among others.
“In many ways this is my first album,” Brett Dennen says of his fourth record, Loverboy.
“On my previous albums I said what I needed to say. I evoked every
different mood and sentiment and emotion. Now I don’t really have
anything to prove. I’ve been the new kid on the block and now that phase
is over. I get to start all over again, relax, and refocus.” He pauses
and flashes a laidback grin. “And what I’m focused on is having fun.”
