Bravo Magazine Fall 2019 by MSU Moorhead

bravo! A celebration of the arts, culture & ideas

FALL 2019 | Vol. 19, No. 2

Each year the College of Arts, Media, and Communication brings world-class speakers, artists and musicians to campus for the benefit of the community. This semester is no exception. The Cheryl Nelson Lossett Performing Arts Series is devoted to jazz legends and jazz royalty. Jeff Robinson, playwright, actor and musician, has written a one-man show celebrating the life of jazz legend Charlie Parker called Live Bird. Delfeayo Marsalis, a member of the reigning royal family of jazz, will bring his Uptown Jazz Orchestra to campus. “The Uptown Jazz Orchestra will excite your mind, warm your soul and make you dance like nobody is looking.” – Color Magazine Homecoming is an opportunity for alumni to re-engage with their alma mater and for the university to celebrate the achievements of their graduates. The College of Arts, Media and Communication, the featured college at this year’s Homecoming, has planned a number of events that you are invited to attend. One of the highlights will be the exhibition Track Record created by MSUM alumna Keri Pickett. Pickett is an award-winning photographer, author and filmmaker. Additionally, CAMC will give the area premiere of the documentary First Daughter and the Black Snake. Produced by Pickett, First Daughter and the Black Snake follows the efforts by Winona LaDuke, famed Native American environmentalist and activist, in her battle to stop development of several pipelines that would cut across Indian reservations in northern Minnesota. Faculty members from the School of Performing Arts will present two different concerts featuring an eclectic mix of music written for small groups. The first concert will feature percussion faculty Kenyon Williams, joined by a few of his friends, in an evening of duets. You will not want to miss an opportunity to hear a rare performance of Vox Balaenae as the featured work of the second concert. Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale), is a work for electric flute, cello and amplified piano by the American avant-garde composer George Crumb. This masterpiece of modern music was inspired by the calls made by humpback whales. As we have done for the past two years, the semester will culminate with the President’s Winter Celebration of the Arts in December. After the concert you are invited to join us for hot chocolate during the lighting of the quad.

MAY OUR TRAVELS NEVER CEASE... ART STUDENTS SEEK INSPIRATION AND KNOWLEDGE

> MSUM art student Ryan Rusk painted this watercolor while on the trip.

ast spring, 20 MSUM art students followed art professor Anna Arnar to Italy to stand awe-struck in front of masterworks they’d only viewed in textbooks and on computers, and to experience one of the world’s most renowned exhibitions of contemporary art.

The trip was an extension of Arnar’s survey course on global art history, which included a unit on Italian Renaissance art, architecture and culture. “Students gained significant insight regarding the scale, materials and process of works of art in the most poignant way possible,” Arnar said. Art professor Kelli Sinner assisted Arnar with tactical support and contributed to the field course through her extensive international travel experience, which included global exhibitions of contemporary art.

We are now students of the world. May our travels never cease. – Rebecca Oehler world, from Ghana to China, Brazil, Russia, the Philippines and many other countries. The exhibition included film, video, dance, sculpture and immersive installations. “I was especially pleased with how the students could make important comparisons between the Renaissance art and architecture and the contemporary artwork,” Arnar said. “They recognized the dedication and high level of craftsmanship carried over for centuries, which was inspiring to them, and important, as most of them are practicing artists.” She added that students also saw how contemporary art allows many more viewpoints and voices to be heard, compared to art from the Renaissance era. Arnar and Sinner are experienced travelers, but for several students, the trip was their first time outside the U.S. > MSUM art student Matthew M. Burrill painted this watercolor while on the trip.

“The impact of the trip on the students will be felt for years to come,” said Sinner. “At every site we visited, the students were animated, excited, and engaged. There were multiple times that students were moved to tears by the works of art we studied and visited.” Students visited Florence, Sienna, Rome and Venice. But before they left for Europe, they studied Renaissance art and architecture over the spring semester on campus. Each student also wrote an essay on a particular site for the course field guide. Once overseas, students presented their research to each other before visiting those particular sites. Subjects ranged from Michelangelo’s Pietà in Saint Peter’s Basilica to the Botticelli paintings in the Uffizi gallery in Florence. Mornings were spent on group site visits. Students had most afternoons free to explore additional sites on their own, if those sites were approved by Arnar and Sinner. Students were required to submit “independent itineraries” for their solo trips, and final reports on all the sites they visited when on their own, and on trips with the group, once they were back in the U.S. And while students would primarily study art, architecture, illustration, the decorative arts and craft worldwide, the course included the added goals of developing travel skills, learning unfamiliar etiquette and simple Italian phrases, and handling currency, according to Arnar. “We were not to be passive tourists, but actively engaged and invested visitors…ambassadors representing our campus and our country,” Arnar said. Students took notes and photographs at every site, instead of simply walking through spaces led by an instructor, she added. The trip concluded with three days at the famous Venice Biennale, an exhibition that features contemporary art from around the

“I was most surprised by my ability to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone,” said Alatera McCann, an art education major. “I was afraid of traveling outside the country. I took a chance and trusted my peers, professors and myself.” Junior art history major Tessa Wick was also surprised by her confidence and ability to explore on her own. “Never being overseas, and without access to a cell phone, it was exhilarating to navigate to specific sites as well as wander and find some hidden gems,” Wick said. “Once you arrive and are immersed in another culture and the art, the rest melts away and you become completely enamored with it all. Being able to see art in person especially allows your prior knowledge to fuse with the current experience and heighten your understanding and insight,” said Wick. Both McCann and Wick found the experience far more affordable and less intimidating than they expected. “I wanted to further my knowledge through on-site study of art and historical artifacts, and I also wanted to become more cultured,” Wick said. “These wishes were fulfilled.” “This trip was life changing, and allowed me to set new priorities for myself,” said McCann. “The students exceeded my expectations,” said Arnar. “They critically engaged with course content when we visited particular sites, and they worked collaboratively to problem solve and discover sites and cultural experiences on their own to share with the rest of the group. They were actively engaged in the learning and teaching process.” At the end of the trip, Arnar and Sinner held an informal competition. Who could write the best quote to sum up the trip? The winner was studio art major Rebecca Oehler. “We are now students of the world,” wrote Oehler. “May our travels never cease.”

argo-Moorhead swings, too, according to retired MSUM biology professor and arts patron Yvonne Condell. “It was one of the reasons my husband and I moved to Moorhead,” said Condell, who’s been a jazz fan since she was nine years old. Her older cousins would come home revved up from dances where the legendary Count Basie and Duke Ellington played. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and she’s been a serious fan and jazz scholar ever since. In fact, she and her late husband, Jim, who taught psychology at Fergus Falls Community College in Fergus Falls while she taught biology there (the college is now known as M State), moved to Moorhead partly so he would be closer to his jazz colleagues and his gigs. Both were professors at MSUM, too, but Jim was also a professional guitarist and pianist. “We

had 14 guitars in our house, and there was always music playing,” Condell said. MSUM music professor Tom Strait agreed with Condell that the community’s jazz scene is doing fairly well, considering the community’s size and geographic isolation. “The presence of strong music programs at the three local universities keeps the jazz scene here healthy,” said Strait, who teaches trumpet at MSUM. He’s also principal trumpet in the FM Symphony, plays in a jazz trio or two, and is a member of the band Post Traumatic Funk Syndrome. Still, Strait acknowledged a “void” of nationally touring jazz artists since the dissolution of the Jazz Arts Group, which brought big names to the community four to five times a year.

MSUM’s Cheryl Nelson Lossett Performing Arts Series has helped fill the void, according to Rebecca Sundet-Schoenwald, managing director of the series. “We’ve brought jazz artists like Tommy Igoe and the Birdland Big Band, Ravi Coltrane, the Heritage Blues Orchestra, the Pedrito Martinez Group, Randy Brecker, Hot Club San Francisco and others to perform for the community on our stages.” Strait appreciates the concert hall setting, but he wishes there were also off-campus venues suited to jazz. A couple bars in the community occasionally host jazz groups, but the perfect venue would be one where the owner appreciates jazz and actually seeks it out, Strait said.

The presence of strong music programs at the three local universities keeps the jazz scene here healthy. – Tom Strait “The concert hall provides for a certain kind of experience,” said Sundet-Schoenwald, “but this community needs a little jazz club filled with small, candle-lit tables, where you can order a classic cocktail and just let the music set the mood, with no big-screen TVs and no patrons who talk too loud and get rowdy. We still need jazz in the concert hall, but to really build jazz audiences, we need at least one club like that.” Condell agreed that the community lacks good jazz venues, but also wished more people in the community understood jazz. “It’s the only uniquely American form of music, originating from African roots and slave countries,” she said. “People around the world admire the jazz art form, but here it’s looked at as entertainment. For example, jazz audiences in Europe don’t talk during a performance. They respect jazz.” Condell is trying hard to build appreciative audiences for jazz in Fargo-Moorhead. She organized Jazz Appreciation Month, a collection of exhibits, talks and performances by community and student jazz ensembles, in April, and regularly gives talks on jazz history. MSUM will continue to do its part to support jazz, with two jazz performances this fall. On Thursday, Sept. 19, saxophonist Jeff Robinson performs his original “Live Bird,” a one-man play celebrating the life of jazz legend and alto saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker. The play is set in a small jazz club in Harlem in New York (the kind of club Condell and Strait would love to see in Fargo-Moorhead). And on Thursday, Oct. 17, Delfeayo Marsalis (of the famed Marsalis musical family) and his 18-member Uptown Jazz Orchestra perform on the Hansen Theatre stage. The events are the first two of four in the 2019-2020 Performing Arts Series at MSUM.
