Poetry of the Industrial and Rural Landscape

Corpora Art Gallery

Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts

321 East 3rd Street, Bethlehem, PA

Twenty black and white photographs capture tranquil and contemplative scenes from the greater Lehigh Valley. Among the small group of talented artists still devoted to traditional photographic methods, Carol Front and David Haas for decades have paid tribute to the history and beauty of rural and industrial scenery of the greater Lehigh Valley and beyond. Although Haas has printed Front’s photographs for many years, while sharing an affinity for evocative and historical imagery, these gifted artists have never before exhibited together. Dr. Christine I. Oaklander is guest curator for the exhibition.

Exhibit runs October 21- November 21

First Friday Reception – Friday, November 4, 6:00 – 9:00 PM
Gallery will be open during south Bethlehem First Fridays and through special request.

Battle Trance Concert

The follow-up to their widely acclaimed debut Palace of Wind (2014), Battle Trance’s Blade of Love is an elemental composition that aims to fulfill the tenor saxophone’s expansive potential as an ensemble instrument. Working within the intimate intersection of the human body/breath and the saxophone, Blade of Love is a spiritual and enigmatic work with a deep emotional resonance.

Since forming in 2012, the four saxophonists in Battle Trance (Travis Laplante, Patrick Breiner, Matt Nelson, Jeremy Viner) have spent hundreds of hours deepening their musical connection with each other, maturing as an ensemble through relentless touring everywhere from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, Montreal to Vancouver, and most places in between.

The three movements of Blade of Love were composed by Battle Trance leader Travis Laplante and recorded by the group in a wooden room with soaring ceilings in the Vermont forest, after spending two years of rigorous rehearsals working to perfect the array of extended techniques, both virtuosic and primal, required to bring the challenging piece to life.

Blade of Love’s central focus is on the physical and spiritual intersection of the saxophone and the human body. The saxophone is one of the few instruments that literally enters the body of the person playing it, and Blade of Love is a medium for this sacred meeting place, with each member of Battle Trance using the saxophone as a vessel for the human spirit.

“mesmerizing…a floating tapestry of fascinating textures made up of tiny musical motifs, and a music that throbs with tension between stillness and agitation, density and light.” – New York Times

“music that soars, glides, and dives to realms that few musicians have dreamt about, let alone touched… wonderful insanity through musical kinship” – PopMatters, Best Albums of 2014

Venture Academy #6

Join us this summer for:

VENTURE ACADEMY 2016

LIFE IS A VENTURE, AN ADVENTURE FOR THE YOUNG OF MIND AND HEART

This series of guided explorations is designed to promote provocative ideas, images, and sensations for the curious adult seeking to cope with an increasingly complex, bewildering, exciting, wondrous, and interesting world.

A special opportunity to collaboratively explore the astounding strangeness of our global world, as well as many other unknown worlds, with a stimulating array of seasoned and highly qualified guides.

Participants will uncover a new Exploration/Adventure each week, including:

SESSION I: Thursday, July 7 from 6pm-8:30pm
“The Dead Still Speak: Understanding the Living by Exploring a Bethlehem Cemetery”

For this exploration there will be some small preliminary readings/discussion, then we will visit the Nisky Hill Cemetery in Bethlehem. In the cemetery we will focus on how the monuments of the past advertised the lives or aspired-to lives of those buried, as well as how they speak to us today. The cemetery will be a guided tour and an assignment for participants to isolate and gather specific types of information which we will discuss at the end of the tour.

Guide: David Small, Professor of Archaeology Lehigh University; with special expertise in cultural anthropology, archaeological theory, archaeological digs, comparative mortuary/cemetery tradition.

SESSION II: Tuesday, July 12 from 6pm-8:30pm
“Profound Changes Beneath the Middle Eastern Sand Dunes”

Most of our information about the Arabic World comes from short sound bites or media clips. Let’s go beneath the surface and explore the tensions developing as the Arabic and Islamic World in the Middle East confronts the issues of women in the workplace, of international curricula in schools, and of secular influences in the culture.

Guide: Roland Yoshida, Former Professor and Dean of the College of Education, Provost Emeritus of Lehigh University, has special expertise in the education theory of exceptional children and international education. He has recently served for fifteen months as an advisor to the Pre-University Education Division of the Qatar Foundation in Doha.

SESSION III: Tuesday, July 19 from 6pm-8:30pm
“An Insider’s History of Bethlehem- through the Amazing Life of H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)”

Explore the history of the great city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, from the Moravian settlement to the rise of the steel industry, through the memoirs of H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), a pioneering feminist-and pacifist, and one of the most influential poets of the 20^th century. This will be an interactive discussion and a walking tour.

Guide: Seth Moglen, Associate Professor of English, Lehigh University; is a scholar of 19th- and 20th-Century American Literature and American studies. He is currently at work on a book, “Bethlehem: American Utopia, American Tragedy,” which explores the 270-year history of one iconic American city.

SESSION IV: Tuesday, July 26 from 6pm-8:30pm
“The Constructive Imagination in the Art of Invention: the Role of Creativity in the Art of Architecture”

This interactive exploration will demonstrate how the use of analogy, simulation and metaphor are used in the creative process. There will be examples from his design studios and workshops conducted at Lehigh and internationally. Possible walking tour of Viscardi’s constructions on the Lehigh campus.

Guide: Anthony Viscardi, Professor of Architecture & Art, Lehigh University, a nationally and internationally known scholar-teacher in the design and art of architecture. Throughout his career in architectural practice and as a professor of architecture, Viscardi has continued to work as an artist and has had many solo and group exhibitions.

SESSION V: Tuesday, August 2 from 6pm-8:30pm
“Moravian Lives through the Centuries”

Before there were blogs, Facebook or Internet searches how were our life stories told? Based on the Moravian tradition of writing a Lebenslauf (memoir) as a validation of one’s life to be shared with their community, we will interactively explore the oral and written practices of the past and discover possibilities for ourselves today.

Guide: Frank Shipman is currently completing studies at Moravian Theological Seminary. He was the 2015 recipient of the Herman T. Frueauff Memorial Prize for his work and research in Moravian history.

SESSION VI: Tuesday, August 9 from 6pm-8:30pm
“A Pilgrim’s Guide to What You Need to Know about Religion Today”

Religions have decidedly not withered away under the laser-like scrutiny of rationality and scientific scrutiny. In fact, ever since the new millennium and especially after the cataclysmic event of 9/11, it is clear that “religions” in all of their significantly positive and terrible forms have come roaring back into our global and internet connected world. So why do we do religion, where does it come from, where is it going, is it something we can’t live without, and do we need to get rid of it? An interactive and comparative exploration of some of these issues along with discussion, some internet spelunking, and provocative short videos and/or power point.

Guide: Norman Girardot, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Comparative Religion, Lehigh University, is an author and scholar with special expertise in Chinese religion, prehistoric religion, popular religion, outsider art and religion, and the strangeness of the human condition.
