Hutton said, “We will perform works of many genres (from Italian Renaissance Madrigal to Romantic German Part-Song to African American Spiritual) written by masterful women composers throughout the centuries. The choral canon is dominated by works of men. This concert is aimed to further close the gender gap in the world of composition and programming. The performance is a lecture-recital given by Hutton in partial fulfillment of his degree of Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Nevada, Reno.

Keeping Score: Hong Hong & Johnathan Payne
Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
October 15–November 6, 2022
This exhibition features large-scale works by 2023 AIR Hong Hong and Johnathan Payne, curated by Alex Paik. For both of these artists, paper itself is a living, breathing support, carrying with it the various environmental and material processes that have been imposed upon it. Hong takes material from both the local environment where she makes her paper as well as from her family history, combining them to create monumental hand-made paper works. Through their work, we see the elusive and constantly shifting relationships between one’s lived experience, environment, and personal journey and how that affects the formation and re-formation of identity.
Reconfigurations
Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
November 3–January 21, 2023
KLOMPCHING GALLERY is thrilled to present a group exhibition, bringing together five artists who have reconfigured historical photographs into new narratives. Featuring work from 2021 AIR Vaune Trachtman’s NOW IS ALWAYS, the exhibition witnesses a photographic exploration of liminal time and space. The artist combines negatives made by her father, with her own contemporary images. The resulting juxtapositions are realized as exquisite hand-pulled photogravures, that are at once both past and present.

Genadry works with various media to examine how distance, light and movement affect visual experiences. Her practice focuses on the relationship between painting and photography, exploring the potential of an image to generate its own temporality (through light) and how a mediated field of vision can sensitize our perception.
