SUMMARY:Awards Presentation\, Gallery Opening and Reception: Winners of the Daniel Manacher Young Artists Prize
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce the talented winners of the 2022 Daniel Manacher Young Artists Award\, an award in honor of the late Daniel Manacher and funded through generous donations in his name. Join us for the opening reeption and awards presentation Saturday August 13 2 -4 PM.  The show runs through September 7 by appointment (gallery@sandisfieldartscenter.org) or when the Arts Center is open for an event. This is the first year of the award competition. \nFeatured image is Daniel Manacher\, Shwoopy Loops\, 2013\, and Daniel’s Camaro in the Petersen Automative Museum in Los Angeles.  \nDaniel Manacher’s parents\, Carol Birnbaum and Adam Manacher\, have described the intent of the prize: \n“With this prize\, we hope to carry forward values that were important to Daniel.  We are happy that the judges have found young artists who tenaciously pursue their vision\, seek to make ordinary objects extraordinary\, and bring community into conversation.” \nJudges this year were Jess Cofrin\, artist and Gallery chair at the Sandisfield Arts Center\, Susie Crofut\, artist\, and Arts Center Board member\, and Jessie Young\, a teacher of Daniel’s who has a specialty in digital art and works a lot with young artists. \nFrom the judges: “The selection committee was very pleased with the caliber of artists who applied for the prize. The three winners were chosen because they all have a clear artistic voice that comes through their chosen media. The work they applied with was consistent\, cohesive\, and showed a deep understanding of the materials.” \nAbout the prize \nWinners: \nJulia Rose Miner:\n\n\nFormed A New\n2020\nAcrylic Paint\, Faux Fur\, and Joint Compound on Board\n36”x24”\n\nStatement:\nHi\, my name is Julia Rose Miner. I am a painter who lives and works in the small\, artistic town of Stockbridge\, MA. In my most recent collection\, my textural paintings of abstracted landscapes explore the ideas of innocence and decay. I use a pallet that consists of candy\, stuffed animal materials\, and vibrant pastel colors. These works play with the corrosion of nostalgia while holding onto a childlike optimism. At the age of seven I was diagnosed with a visual impairment\, called Stargardt Disease\, leaving my world altered with a constant vibrating visual texture. I use the sense of touch as a source of sight to navigate through life and art. This is  how I experience the world and I feel compelled to use these tools when making my work. In my practice I translate bits and pieces of visual information to fabricate a new reality that lies in the comfort of unease. I welcome and encourage both delight and putrefaction to coexist. Building layers I construct and paint distorted and discolored imagery inspired by my everyday surroundings. My work embraces the ideas of joy and deterioration while abstracting the world.\n\nNatasha Wein:\n \n\nSpaces: Suburbs\n 2022\nAcrylic paint\, gouache\, and water-soluble ink pencils on paper\n24×18 inches\n\nStatement:\n“Spaces” explores the interface between external and internal experience\, specifically how we hold the spaces and relationships we inhabit in our minds as memory. The mental landscapes we foster and the narratives we tell ourselves about those landscapes inform our sense of belonging and resilience. In this series\, I used my longing for contentment amidst a particularly distressing and uprooted period in my life to influence my use of color and shape; by painting with intention\, I created an external space with movement and possibility from where I could work with my internal distress and\, in turn\, repaint my psychic wallpaper. When we strip back the cognitive clutter\, a more honest rendering of our experiences and desires can be exposed\, and one that is often more sincere and playful. This way of working can decongest complicated and backlogged feelings so they can be integrated into our present experience. I used tape as a tool to create territories of paint and water-soluble ink pencils to make lines connecting territories of color. We often think of boundaries as points of separation\, but they are more meeting points that allow for a relationship to occur. This was a process of experiential learning through process—a practice in clearing spaces and rendering passages to navigate memories\, circumstance\, and dreams.\n\nAlorah Welti:\n \n\nEve Adam Lilith (Red White Blue) \n2022\nPaint and decoupage on plastic skeletons\napproximately 20×20 inches\n\nStatement:\nMy work\, primarily in mixed media\, paper\, and fiber\, asks and seeks to answer the question of what is sacred. As someone with synesthesia\, a sensory neurodivergence that connects senses like sound and color\, I am eternally searching for the visceral and dreamlike. Texture\, saturation\, and reclamation are fundamental to my practice\, as are myth and feminist spirituality. I am endlessly inspired by fertility\, ancestry\, and the constant presence of history in all things.

SUMMARY:Selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier & Other Keyboard Works by Bach
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to present the well-known Bach disciple\, Andrew P. Sheranian\, founding director of The Bach Project at Ashmont Hill Chamber Music\, bringing Bach to our stage and Steinway! \nAndrew P. Sheranian\, a Boston-based pianist/organist and conductor\, will perform keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach\, including a selection of preludes and fugues from the WellTempered Clavier. The Well-Tempered Clavier (Das Wohltemperierte Klavier) is a collection of keyboard music that Bach wrote in the 1720’s\, utilizing every possible major and minor key: 12 preludes and fugues for the major keys\, and 12 preludes and fugues for the minor keys\, for a total of 24. But\, Bach being Bach\, he did it twice\, publishing two books with unique compositions in each key: an astonishing feat! Mr. Sheranian will perform some of the most outstanding examples from the WTC as well as some miscellaneous pieces to round out the program. See Program details below. \nAbout Andrew Sheranian \nSince 2010\, Andrew Sheranian has been Organist and Master of Choristers at the Parish of All Saints\, Ashmont in Boston\, an Anglo-Catholic church known for its commitment to excellence in liturgy and music. His duties at Ashmont include recruiting\, training\, and conducting the Choir of Men and Boys\, as well as playing the parish’s two pipe organs: C.B. Fisk Opus 103 of 1995 and Skinner Opus 708 of 1929\, the latter installed in 2015 during Mr. Sheranian’s tenure. \nPrior to taking up the post at Ashmont\, Andrew Sheranian served as Organist and Choirmaster at Christ’s Church in Rye\, New York for seven years. In 2003\, Mr. Sheranian completed his Master of Music degree through the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University\, as a student of Martin Jean. His undergraduate training took place at New England Conservatory of Music\, under the tutelage of William Porter\, where he received his Bachelor of Music degree. \nA lifelong disciple of Johann Sebastian Bach\, Mr. Sheranian is the founding director of The Bach Project at Ashmont Hill Chamber Music\, a baroque ensemble of instrumentalists and singers aiming to perform the full spectrum of Bach’s music in performances at All Saints’ Ashmont. Next season’s performances are October 2 at 4:00 with Reginald Mobley (countertenor)\, and March 5 at 4:00: The St. John Passion. \nThis program made possible in part by a donation from our neighbors\, Jeffrey Gonyeau and Jack Dennerlein. \nPROGRAM: Keyboard music by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) \nMr. Sheranian will provide brief comments on each of the works. \nPartita No. 5 in G major (BWV 829) \nPraeambulum \nAllemande \nCourante \nSarabande \nTempo di Minuetto \nPassepied \nGigue \nfrom The Well-Tempered Clavier – Book II \nF minor (BWV 881) \nD major (BWV 874) \nC minor (BWV 871) \nE major (BWV 878) \nF-sharp minor (BWV 883) \nfrom The Well-Tempered Clavier – Book I \nB major (BWV 868) \nG-sharp minor (BWV 863) \nF-sharp major (BWV 858) \nB minor (BWV 869) \nC major (BWV 846) \nThe Italian Concerto (BWV 971) \nI: [no tempo indication] \nII: Andante \nIII: Presto \n
