SUMMARY:Kel Mur: Converge at Pyle Center
DESCRIPTION:Soft bodies clasp together like puzzle pieces in Converge: Studies Of Cohabitation\,  a show in which multimedia conceptual artist Kel Mur explores what it means to share a home with her romantic partner. By displaying plaster molds of their bodies wrapped around each other\, with strips of bedsheets soaked in wax enveloping them\, Mur demonstrates the tension between the resilience and tenderness of a relationship. Wax as a material is soft and pliable when it is warm. But when it is cold\, it is hard and easily breakable. Love can be understood the same way. And these sculptures painstakingly capture the fineness of this level of intimacy. \nMur likens the different studies to a cocoon—something that encloses another thing to protect it. The lovers\, in all their tenderness\, try to defend one another. Their limbs are wrapped around each other’s backs as armor. The ethos of the artwork is unflinching and unafraid. It shows how living together involves building a safe space that cultivates change and growth for people\, much like a chrysalis. It is permeable and vulnerable but still has the capacity to hold those inside it. As the people inside grow together in and around each other\, the cocoon grows around them as well. The home adapts and this is seen in the ways the figures shift and change around the space. \nWhat strikes me most about Converge is how it points us to our capacity for grace and mercy. We come together in our frailness\, humanity\, and vulnerability and hold tightly to the ones we love until we feel their hearts beating close to ours. It is a great risk\, but I forget it as soon as I see the two become one. When I see the figures\, I can imagine them breathing one another’s air\, living in one another’s skin\, and I remember the joy of knowing and being known by someone so deeply that we live and move and have our being in them and with them. Oh\, what beauty. \n—Hannah Keziah Agustin \nNote: Gallery hours for this show are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week and during special events on weekends and evenings.

SUMMARY:New Music Series: Outside The Sphere at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Outside The Sphere\, the duo of percussionist Michael Brenneis and saxophonist Tony Barba\, grew from a series of improvised duets Brenneis launched in 2018. The two share a vast\, electroacoustic vocabulary—Brenneis has spent more than 20 years making all manner of adventurous music\, and Barba’s work ranges from taut jazz combos to glacial ambient music. The duo’s first recording\, released in 2019\, senses all those potentially overwhelming options but always manages to feel focused and invested in the moment\, whether amid the breathy expanse of “Davenport A Couch” or the restless itch of “Calling Around.”  \nThings kept getting more unpredictable during the early months of the pandemic\, when the two performed a series of remote improvisations on YouTube. “These were as musical as they were therapeutic\, I think\, and we captured some really good stuff\,” Brenneis says. A lot of the video performances and livestreams during that time felt like make-the-best-of-it attempts to fill the void of live shows\, but Outside The Sphere’s sessions were among the rare ones that channeled 2020’s maddening isolation and anxiety into something that truly made sense in that context. On the series’ third episode\, the pent-up\, questing energy of two busily gigging musicians reaches a searing point\, and that climbing-the-walls feeling alchemizes into something greater. \nAs part of Arts + Literature Laboratory’s New Music Series\, this show will let audiences catch up on all the growth since Outside The Sphere’s inception. Both musicians will incorporate their main instruments and seek a deeper integration with electronic elements. “As you can hear on the first recording\, the electronics work kind of as spare voices accompanying our acoustic playing\,” Brenneis says. “More recently we’ve gotten to where we can add layer upon layer when the mood strikes\, and it becomes more orchestral\, more involved\, and a voice that speaks as an equal to our acoustic playing.” It may emerge as two sets\, or flow as “one gargantuan set of several improvisations\,” Brenneis adds.  \n—Scott Gordon \nOutside the Sphere by Tony Barba & Michael Brenneis \nPhoto by Sebastian Brenneis.

SUMMARY:Encore In Black And White at Mary Dupont Wahlers Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A still from “Elephant In The Room” features three actors. Rikki Christman (right) points a toy gun at Joe Wahlers (left\, seated). James Burreson stands cloaked in the shadows near the center of the frame in front of a vintage coffee shop backdrop. \nEncore Studio For The Performing Arts celebrates their 23rd year as Wisconsin’s premier theater company for people with disabilities with a four-film\, 75-minute suite that pays homage to silent and early sound era cinema. “Encore In Black And White” premiered at the Mary DuPont Wahlers Theatre (just off of Fish Hatchery Road) on Friday night\, January 27. It continues across four additional days (January 28 and 29 at 2 p.m.\, February 3 at 8 p.m.\, and February 4 at 2 p.m.). Tickets are available directly through Encore as suggested donations of $15 per general patron\, and $5 for people with disabilities\, students\, and seniors. \nWorking with four different writers riffing on four archetypal genres from the dawn of modern cinema\, universal director Heather Renken has an exemplary opportunity under this program’s umbrella to exhibit her experience and insight with local actors\, not only in longstanding connections to Encore Studio (serving as artistic associate for over a decade)\, but with Broom Street Theater and Children’s Theater Of Madison as well. \nRenken contributed on the writing side to the third short\, a colorful spin on noir tropes titled Elephant In The Room. In her recent interview with Channel 3000‘s Doug Moe\, Renken graciously cites Encore actor James Burreson’s passion for detective stories as the catalyst to its realization. \nOther screenwriters who helped bring “Encore In Black In White” to fruition include Clarice Lafayette\, who wrote the zippy piece of horror that opens the night\, Redemption. Sarah Jo Schoenhaar’s take on century-old slapstick emerges in Bona Fide\, and KelsyAnne Schoenhaar’s witty musical comedy of To Heiress Human closes the screening event on a spirited note (literally). Stick around afterward for a Q&A with the cast and crew. \n—Grant Phipps
