School of Architecture Hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m-5 p.m. Through May 4 Tod Williams and Billie Tsien '71 have worked together since 1977, and as partners in their design studio since 1986. Known for projects such as the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and the Phoenix Art Museum, they currently share the 2003 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professorship at the Yale School of Architecture. This first major exhibition of their work highlights nearly 20 years of the architects' designs. Material samples, prototypes, furniture, wall panels, study models, and other artifacts represent both built projects and designs for works in progress.
University Art Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. (Thursday until 8 p.m.); Sunday, 1-6 p.m. Through May 18 Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was known and admired as a master draftsman, an innovative explorer of sculpture, painting, and printing, and an acute observer of modern life. With his unique use of cropping as a compositional tool, his recycling of anatomical and compositional forms as vocabulary for larger scenes, and his reapplication of traditional drawing and sculpting techniques in ways that challenged the traditional artistic practice, Degas helped define the edge of modernism in visual culture. This small but comprehensive exhibit includes 20 examples of the artist’s etchings, paintings, and sculpture.
Yale Repertory Theatre March 21 through April 12 The familiar tale of Kate and Petruchio comes to the Yale Rep stage with “retro-revolutionary” direction. While the play uses an all-male company of actors as would have been done in Shakespeare’s time, it is set in today’s Latino world with elements of modern media, video, and documentary art.
St. Thomas More Chapel and Center March 28-30 A three-day symposium at Yale’s Catholic center addresses issues of Church authority and responsibility. Participants include Kathleen McChesney, director of the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Office of Child and Youth Protection, among others. Contact the More Center for information and tickets.
Yale Symphony Orchestra April 5, 8:00 p.m. The YSO appears in Woolsey Hall with Peter Frankl, piano, and the Yale Camerata. The program includes Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K. 503, and the C Minor Mass. |
