NPR has described Davis’ music as offering, “beautifully structured dynamics and captivating sonic twists,” and The Denver Post Reverb says Davis “gives haunting, holy voice to some of the darkest spots of imagination.” With a stage set-up designed to fit snugly in the back of a station wagon, Bluebook aspires to cross-country trips connected by shows in second-rate motel lounges.

The rest of the festival site opens on Saturday, July 2 (10a – 8p; concert 8p -10p) and continues Sunday, July 3 (10a – 8p; concert 8p -10p) and Monday, July 4 (10a – 6p).

Penny Saturday at MCA

That’s right, admission is only 1 penny on the first Saturday of the month at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Grab some pennies, call your pals and go see some art!
More about MCA: http://mcadenver.org
On View until July 3rd:
Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends surveys the last ten years of the artist’s practice, bringing together video, sculpture, and works on paper for the first time. The works on view highlight the artist’s unique process that migrates from two dimensions to three and back again. Bress’s imaginative characters are born as doodles or collages, take shape as sculptural costumes, and come to life on video, as they are performed in front of elaborately composed backdrops. Connecting the past with the present, Bress’s “friends” imaginatively breach disciplinary distinctions amongst painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, and video.
Arne Svenson: The Neighbors After receiving a bird watching, telephoto lens from a friend, Arne Svenson set up a tripod to capture what unfolded within a brand new, glass-and-steel high-rise building across the street from his Tribeca studio. Capturing the lives of his neighbors (their habits, activities, tastes) over the course of a year, Svenson also used the geometry of the buildings’ windows as his frame, creating various tableaux of domestic life unfolding. Presenting over 20 photographs from this series, The Neighbors, this exhibition explores in depth the central issues raised by these enigmatic works: voyeurism, the increasingly imperceptible boundaries between privacy and the public, and the ubiquity of the camera in our surveillance-obsessed world. Documentation of a court case brought against the artist (which he successfully appealed, twice) will enrich this discussion, as the works point up a tension between the luxury of looking out and the vulnerability of being looked upon.
Laura Shill: Phantom Touch For her first solo museum exhibition, Denver-based Laura Shill will create a new installation that features reclaimed materials in richly mannered, densely layered environments and which plays with the space as a site of disclosure and concealment. It will also include many of her Absent Lovers series in which the artist appropriates images from covers of Harlequin romance novels to create hauntingly beautiful cyanotypes. These works often reveal a violent, sinister, and sexualized dynamic latent in the clichéd depictions of lovers from these stories.

Play Space: Painting Your Community
2016-07-02 10:30 - 12:00, 2016-07-09 10:30 - 12:00 | Mestizo-Curtis Park, 32nd & Champa, Denver, CO, 80205, United States

Session 3 (July 16th, 23rd and 30th): Ramón Bonilla’s People and the Living Architecture will turn families into cities by way of wearable architecture.
Session 4 (Aug 6th, 13th and 20th): George P. Perez’s Walk with Me (An exercise in visual guidance) will feature camera obscura helmets, which distort the wearer’s vision, requiring them to navigate the world in a different way.

Bye Bye Blue
2016-07-07 10:00 - 19:00 | Default Theme
For six decades, Clyfford Still’s work was infrequently exhibited in this country and very seldom seen outside the U.S. Now, thanks to Abstract Expressionism—the first major international exhibition on abstract expressionism since 1959, coming to London’s Royal Academy of Art and Spain’s Guggenheim Bilbao—nine of Still’s most iconic works from Denver’s collection will be on view to millions from the fall of 2016 until the summer of 2017.
In order to be included in this great adventure, PH-247 of 1951, a Clyfford Still Museum fan favorite affectionately known as “Big Blue,” will come down from the Museum’s walls for the first time ever. Join the museum for a celebration of blue as we say “bon voyage” on Thursday, July 7.

Dress in all blue and be admitted for just $1 all day!
Visit our all-day creation station to make your own ode to blue.
At 12:30 p.m., enjoy a lunchtime talk with chief conservator James Squires, who will describe preparing Big Blue and other priceless works for their journey overseas.
At 1:30 p.m., enjoy light refreshments in the Museum’s Anschutz Foundation Atrium.
At 3 p.m., enjoy an afternoon talk about the color blue led by a Museum gallery guide.
At 4 p.m., join us for another round of light refreshments.
The Museum closes at 5 p.m. and we bid farewell to Big Blue until summer 2017!

Norman Kleeblatt, Susan and Elihu Rose Chief Curator, the Jewish Museum, New York
Join Clyfford Still Museum and Denver Art Museum for the second lecture in the series Women of Abstract Expressionism in Context.

Norman L. Kleeblatt, the Susan and Elihu Rose Chief Curator of the Jewish Museum in New York, is renowned for his well-crafted and broad ranging exhibitions. His 2008 award-winning show for the Jewish Museum, Action/Abstraction: Pollock, De Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976, is an example of his rethinking of art and cultural history as well as exhibition models. In 2014 he organized Mel Bochner: Strong Language and co-curated From the Margins: Lee Krasner | Norman Lewis, 1945-1952. Kleeblatt’s articles have appeared in Artforum, Art in America, the Art Journal, and ARTnews.
