Penderecki String Quartet meets Quinsin Nachoff Jazz meets Classics & Beyond

The quartet features violinists Jerzy Kaplanek and Jeremy Bell, violist Christine Vlajk, and cellist Katie Schailkjer. From Mozart, to Bartok, to Zappa, this group is fearless. The last time they appeared at The Registry was with Jane Bunnett's renowned Spirits of Havana, featuring pianist Hilario Duran.
The PSQ return in a collaboration with the remarkable New York based, Canadian chamber jazz composer and sax player Quinsin Nachoff and his trio, featuring drummer Dan Weiss, and bassist Mark Helias.

Sarah Cale into shards, crude stars
Curated by Crystal Mowry June 5 - September 6, 2015
Artist Talk: Friday, June 19, 7 - 8 pm.
Opening Reception follows from 8 - 10 pm
Painter Sarah Cale has honed a reputation for making paintings that seem both violent and inert. In this exhibition of work made in the last two years, Cale foregrounds the influence of collage within her practice. Cale carves up her canvases, setting aside various sections to annotate or propagate other works. New compositions are built up from remnants, gradually giving way to layered abstract compositions. In Cale's work, the gestural mark or brushstroke is always fugitive. It becomes a shifty, unreliable thing that allows us to see an aperture as a void and a portal as a question.
Artist Talk Sponsored by Sorbara Law and Momentum Developements Under Glass Curated by Crystal Mowry
June 5 - September 6, 2015
Reception - Friday, June 19, 7 - 10 pm Assembled as a complement to the work of Sarah Cale and Eleanor Bond, this selection of works will address themes of preservation, scrutiny and taxonomy as explored by the artists featured in the Permanent Collection. Eleanor Bond South Side, The Frontier of the New Europe and the Sunny South
June 19 - August 16, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, June 19, 7 - 10 pm This summer our Eastman Gallery will be devoted to a major work by one of Canada's most respected painters, Eleanor Bond. Disconcerting in both its scale and its vision South Side, The Frontier of the New Europe and the Sunny South is reminiscent of a painted backdrop for a dystopian film shoot. Bond invites us to consider how speculation - a means of evaluating potential - is a crucial, and problematic aspect of the way humans imagine developed space. |
