Autumn Arts 2012

Autumn Arts Annual2012

ARTWORK BY ANA SERRANO

www.newtimesslo.com • September 20 - September 27, 2012 • New Times • 29

This year, Arts Editor Anna Weltner and Calendar Editor Maeva Considine,

having toiled in equal measure to bring you the 2012 Autumn Arts Annual, decided to split the issue’s introduction. Below is what happened.

ANNA A choreographer who can pop mad one-handed handstands, a painter who finds truth in a parade of nonsense, and a poet recognizable only by the silhouette cast by his own words: They’re the rock stars of this season’s local arts scene, and they’re coming to a theater, gallery, or coffee shop near you. Inside, discover an artist toying with animalistic notions, a theater director playing God, and a mouthy Polish composer whose legacy lives on in Paso Robles. We’ve managed to get them all in one place, for your sheer delight and wonderment. You’re welcome, San Luis Obispo County.MAevA I’ve always viewed art like I

view bears: fascinating, unpredictable, and a little bit scary. This year, art in San Luis Obispo County has yet to disappoint. With a bevy of talent at your fingertips, Autumn Arts will have you playing the air sax, painting naked people with a lot of fruit around them, and breaking your toes during poorly executed ballet moves. If there’s a downside to living in “the happiest place on Earth,” it’s that there’s just too much entertainment and not enough time.ANNA I thought that was Disneyland? Regardless, there’s plenty to see at Cal Poly alone. Inspired by the Cal Poly Theater and Dance production of Jenny Schwarz’s decidedly odd play God’s Ear, director Al Schnupp is host to a sweet art show in addition to presenting some original work of his own. Los Angeles artist Ana Serrano talks about her unsettlingly realistic yet undeniably cute scenes of lower-income Hispanic neighborhoods,

which grace the Cal Poly University Art Gallery Sept. 28. And in early 2013, Diana Stanton directs Orchesis, Cal Poly’s modern dance company, in the original concert Suspension. Elsewhere, illustrator Mariya Suzuki reveals the snarkier side of composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski, for whom Paso Robles’ annual Paderewski Festival (Nov. 8 to 12) is named. Also in Paso, check out Wendy Marvel’s creepily beautiful photography series of women with fox, horse, and bunny heads, coming to Vale Fine Art in December. And don’t be left behind when painter Mark Bryan presents “The Rupture,” a series of spooftastic new works at Steynberg Gallery opening Friday, Oct. 5. We’ve spent many hours compiling and presenting

these artistic offerings. In case you can’t tell, we’re both kind of delirious right now. Like high on art.MAevA Autumn is a time of growth, decay, renewal, and all that other clichéd stuff Hallmark tries to sell you. Here, we’ve tried to encapsulate the best and freshest local art efforts, all while celebrating those performers, painters, and artists who’ve stuck around and continue to produce amazing and original pieces and

performances. Enjoy!? ∆

NEW TIMES How long have you been interested in miniature buildings

and diorama-like sculptures? ANA SERRANO I’ve been creating these type of miniatures for about six years now, but really I

feel I’ve gravitated to dioramas since elementary school. I would get really excited when I had to make shoebox dioramas for a school project. NEW TIMES Your work focuses on the folk culture of Los Angeles’ lower-income Hispanic neighborhoods, in a way that seems both endearing and startlingly honest, like the cardboard version of street photography. How familiar to you are the scenes you recreate? Are they at all like the environment you grew up in? ANA SERRANO I feel very

connected to these places. I was around them growing up but I was also around neighborhoods that were the opposite. I think experiencing both made

me aware of the differences. NEW TIMES What do you feel when creating these buildings and environments? Is it reverence, nostalgia, irony? ANA SERRANO I think what I feel

is closer to reverence, I definitely feel like I’m celebrating and representing these environments in a positive light. It’s interesting you mention nostalgia, because I never feel nostalgic when

I’m creating the work but many older people have mentioned feeling nostalgic when viewing the work. It reminds them of a time when they lived in L.A. or a similar neighborhood.

NEW TIMES You’ve also begun to address drug lords and drug trafficking in your art—and yet at the same time your creations are undeniably

cute. Is the work’s friendly presentation a way for you to introduce difficult topics without being overwhelming? ANA SERRANO Yes it is, plus I

don’t think it’s in my nature to be overly serious with my work, I would have to force it. NEW TIMES On the same note, your work seems like

Orchesis Dance Company presents “Suspension”Cal Poly Spanos Theatre$10 student/$13 Generalpacslo.org756-4TIX

The arts community didn’t really know what to do with Diana Stanton when she moved to San Luis Obispo 10 years ago.“It’s a little dangerous actually, trying to get through it without crashing,” admitted Stanton.Stanton plans to perform a brief improvisational dance while attached to a heart monitor. Of course, the piece could turn out to be total chaos, Stanton conceded.“It gets torn apart and twisted around and shifted around, lots of metaphors,” Stanton revealed of the table, which is really three smaller tables brought together.

Stanton’s dancers wear black cocktail dresses, their fine attire barely concealing their primitive drive to one-up one another.“I’m less attached to meaning in dance and more interested in concept,” explains Stanton.Forget everything you know about dance and sink your teeth into Orchesis (a Greek word meaning the act or art of dance).Stanton defined heaven as the endorphin rush that accompanies intense physical output.Despite the company’s mysterious, one-word titles—Shift, Continuum, Impact—there’s typically no overriding theme to an Orchesis concert. The Orchesis concert features the choreography of nationally acclaimed guest artists, Cal Poly faculty, local choreographers, and selected top dance students. The Orchesis concert doesn’t intend to be modern, but after investigating what they want to accomplish in a performance it ends up looking contemporary, and not at all not formulaic.Orchesis is grounded in abstract ideas and stories, whether about beauty, deep emotion, or even mathematics, expressed in movement, according to Stanton. That is what Orchesis is all about: dances have different meanings, some have no meaning at all, other than the beauty of line and design. —compiled from New Times archives
