Mark di Suvero’s Beethoven’s Quartet is about
the late quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven, which, like Stonehenge, do double service as both objects and tools by which the universe can be uncovered. Di Suvero invites his audience to complete the connection of music, art, and landscape by playing the sculpture with the rubber mallets he left behind. This piece was originally housed at Storm King
Art Center in Hudson Valley, one hour north of New York City.
Mark Di Suvero’s Proverb, with its pendulum element that moves in the breeze, is a metronome made vast. Originally next to the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas, this monumental work brightly contrasts against the Tippet Rise landscape.
Stephen Talasnik’s Satellite #5: Pioneer is one of a series, this one named for the satellite launched
in 1973. Of Pioneer, Talasnik has said, “It was import- ant to try to make the connection between manifest destiny of both those situations, the idea of human beings wanting to go beyond what they knew, to risk everything to go, and that somehow the risk-reward was really what it was about. Whether it was the early settlers coming to a wonderful place like this or the satellites and eventually, people, astronauts, who would go out into space, there were similarities
to me. . . .”
Talasnik spends about a quarter of his studio time creating a growing collection of architectural model pieces. Two of these, Galaxy and Archaeology, are on display in the Olivier Music Hall.
Music at Tippet Rise
Featuring Performers and Compositions of Unlimited Musical Horizons
Each summer Tippet Rise offers live classical chamber music and recitals performed indoors and out by some of today’s most celebrated musicians. Concerts take place in the Olivier Music Hall, inspired by the performance spaces for which Haydn and Mozart composed their works, and outdoors under the Domo, an acoustically rich sculptural structure designed by Ensamble Studio.
The 2018 music season features new and returning artists, established soloists, and rising stars, present- ing works ranging in date from the early 18th century through today. Pre-concert lectures are offered at
the Tiara, an acoustic shell without walls that offers 360-degree views of the rolling Tippet Rise landscape.
The 2018 season begins July 6 and concludes September 8.
