"Evidence" - a work by Dick Byer

In 2010, German sculptor and photographer Dick Byer created his religious work "Beweiss" ("Evidence"), pictured here. David Boyer photographed "Beweiss" so that Dick himself is reflected on the polished surface of the ball. In early 2011 we posted this remarkable photo on our blog, along with a description of the piece written in German by Dick himself.

We have re-posted the photo with Dick's written description in English.

This is our fifth year for the Portfolio Showcase. With a total value of $5000 in prizes and the opportunity to win the Grand Prize, we think that you will continue to find this initiative fun, challenging and attractive:

Fun, because we ask you to submit a cohesive portfolio of 8 (no more, no fewer) images that represent  your best work.

Challenging, because only the best 8 portfolios will be shown at the Gallery during the exhibit.
 
Attractive, because, in addition to the exhibition of their work at the Gallery, and with thanks to our Sponsors, each of the 8 winners will receive a $200 award certificate applicable towards purchase of any of the many  products and services offered by Lumiere Photo and PixelPreserve. Also, each winner will receive a complimentary copy of the limited-edition, high-quality show catalogue, specially designed and produced by Denison Creative and PixelPreserve and depicting all photographs from the winning portfolios.

EASTMAN STUDENTS TURN CLASSICAL MUSIC ON ITS HEAD AT ARTISANWORKS

Sound ExChange interacts with audience and 40,000 square feet of art

ROCHESTER, NY – Sound ExChange—a group of Eastman musicians dedicated to exploring alternative ways of presenting music to reimagine and reinvigorate the traditional concert experience—joins with ARTISANworks to present a family-friendly, multidisciplinary concert experience. Combining live music, visual art, and dance, SoundExchange @ ARTISANworks takes place on Sunday, April 14, 2013, from 2 - 4 p.m. Louis Perticone, founder of ARTISANworks says, “This partnership continues to develop our vision of marrying of the arts.” This event is sponsored by the organ donation nonprofit blifeNY.org.

Described by the Rochester Business Journal as a group that “turns the classical music concert on its head,” Sound ExChange has designed this program specifically to embrace ARTISANworks as an interactive concert hall. This two-part event opens at 2:00 with an installation project enabling musicians, performance artists, dancers, and listeners–scattered throughout the eclectic galleries–to interact with each other and the surrounding artwork. Performances showcase Marilyn Monroe musical classics, original compositions set to sign language, music for hand-clappers, and a small indie band. This installation is designed by Eastman percussion student Kurt Fedde.

The second half of the event continues at 3:00 with cabaret-style audience seating for a program comprised of contemporary chamber music featuring a variety of performers and works: members of the award-winning saxophone quartet Project Fusion;; Tight Sweater, a minimalist trio for marimba, cello, and piano composed by Eastman alum Mark Mellits;; and LIgNEouS 1, a work for marimba and string quartet by composer and percussionist Andy Akiho. The concert concludes with an interactive piece created specifically for these particular performers and listeners by Eastman percussion student Drew Worden.
