SUMMARY:Contemporary Dance in Four Walls
DESCRIPTION:Experience the powerful connection between movement and art at Cameron Art Museum with Contemporary Dance in Four Walls. This unique afternoon of performances features dance works inspired by the spiritual and contemplative space within the Four Walls exhibition by Thomas Sayre. \n  \nThe event begins with Madeleine Pautier’s “Yūgen”\, a captivating exploration of the universe’s physical and spiritual mysteries\, from what lies below the water’s surface to what flies above. Drawing from the dual nature of water and air\, Pautier’s choreography reflects themes of fluid transformation\, hope\, and wonder.  \nYūgen (yoo-gehn) (n.) A profound awareness of the universe that evokes feelings that are inexplicably deep and too mysterious for words. \nMadeleine\, a professional dancer and choreographer\, has trained with renowned institutions such as the Kirov Academy of Ballet and BalletMet. Now a member of the US International Ballet and a master’s student in Exercise and Performance Psychology\, Madeleine brings her extensive experience and passion for movement to this performance. \n  \nFollowing this\, members of the Dance Cooperative present new works inspired by the scale and textures of Sayre’s art. These original pieces delve into themes of honor\, sacrifice\, struggle\, and spirituality\, resonating deeply with the exhibition’s contemplative nature. \nFounded in 2001\, the Dance Cooperative is a non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing the dance community by providing affordable classes\, rehearsal space\, and performance opportunities to underserved artists in the greater Wilmington area. Their mission fosters a vital connection between professional dance and the local community. \n  \nSaturday\, February 8\, 1 PM\nLocation: Hughes Wing\nSuggested Donation: $5 \n  \nREGISTER \nLearn more about our programs and events here. \nPhotograph of Madeleine Pautier (right) taken by Vikki Slotiver.

SUMMARY:Tift Merritt and Thomas Sayre: Four Walls\, Four Songs (Reprise)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 15th\, 2025 for this special performance by grammy-nominated musician Tift Merritt and NC Artist Thomas Sayre.\n\nFour Walls\, Four Songs\, a sound response to Thomas Sayre’s Four Walls\, returns to Cameron Art Museum for a reprise. The performance explores the burned\, brushed\, rusted\, and razed layers of Sayre’s visual work. Merritt’s multi-movement piece uses voice\, piano\, and guitar while drawing us deeper into the elemental artworks on display in Sayre’s Four Walls. Drawing from a deep friendship and creative dialogue between the two artists\, Tift Merritt crafts a sound exploration that resonates with the materials\, visuals\, and questions posed by Sayre’s monumental piece. \nThe first showing of this performance in September 2024 sold out completely\, with one attendee describing it as “a remarkable multi-sensory exhibit that pushed the bounds of the typical gallery/museum experience.” You won’t want to miss this collaborative and evocative show by Tift Merritt and Thomas Sayre! \n\nCAM Members $75; Not-Yet Members $100\n \nTICKETS \n  \n\nTift Merritt is a Grammy-nominated musician who wanted to be a writer until her father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She has toured around the world with her sonic short stories and garnered a reputation for making her own way and setting an interesting artistic table. The New Yorker calls her “the bearer of a proud tradition of distaff country soul that reaches back to artists like Dusty Springfield and Bobbie Gentry.” Don Henley\, with help from Mick Jagger\, kicks off Cass County with a cover of her song Bramble Rose. Taking time off the road to raise her daughter\, Merritt began work on larger\, site specific projects by way of collecting found objects in the abandoned asylum in her hometown as forgotten\, essential language. Merritt has also collected artist interviews researching creative process and integrity on The Spark for Carolina Performing Arts and Marfa\, Texas Public Radio. She is a Practitioner-In-Residence in collaboration with the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University and lives in North Carolina with her daughter Jean. \n\n\n\nThomas Sayre is an American sculptor and painter. He designs and builds public art projects and private commissions all over the world. His current work includes large paintings made with tar\, smoke\, gunshots\, welding material\, earth\, and fire. Sayre is a founding principal of the multi-disciplinary design firm Clearscapes\, alongside architect Steve Schuster. The team designs numerous civic\, educational\, and museum buildings.\n\nThomas sculpts\, paints\, and produces commissioned work. His art is housed in collections across the globe from Thailand to Tennessee. He has exhibited his work in a number of private galleries and public museums\, including Cheryl Hazan Gallery in Manhattan and the Contemporary Art Museum and the North Carolina Museum of Art\, both in Raleigh\, North Carolina. In 1995\, Sayre received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. In 2014\, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from North Carolina State University.
