6A Daily News – Thursday, March 21, 2013 Pastimes & Arts entertainment Gallery to feature works by Allison Hyde Works by Allison Hyde, the artist awarded the Friends of The Turner Solo Exhibition Prize from the 2012 Janet Turner Print Competition and Exhibition, will be featured at The Turner Print Museum Gallery March 11-April 14. What these works visually offer and the environment they create will be distinctly different than the expected Turner Museum exhibition. "Because Allison doesn't typically create the conventional print in a mat, we will not know what the exhibition is until she installs it," said Turner Museum curator Catherine Sullivan. "What is exciting in her work is the manipulation of traditional printmaking in an environment that speaks to the interrelationship of the individual works." If Hyde's recent exhibitions offer any clues, more than likely people coming to The Turner are in for a unique experience. They should see an onsite installation that is both unconventional and cutting-edge, in terms of printmaking, and the thought provoking aspect of her work represents contemporary thought in art, said Sullivan. "Allison is an exciting new emerging artist.She represents the change we made in the concept of the National Print Competition to reflect how contemporary printmakers are defining, redefining and creating new expressions of a traditional technique. Her work may be unexpected by those viewers more com- fortable with prints that stay in the traditional manner with clearly defined techniques and object centered subject matter." For last year's National Print Competition Hyde submitted a powerful mixed-media work entitled "Scarlet" that took up nearly half of Chico State's University Art Gallery, the space where it was installed. "Scarlet" was an onsite installation of what appeared as a corner of a derelict building. Evidence of burn scars marked edges and the facade. Exhibition curator and juror Franklin Sirmans, curator and department Head of contemporary art for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, selected "Scarlet" to receive the exhibition's highest honor, the coveted Turner Solo Exhibition Award. Hyde describes herself as an artist, teacher, curator and gallery director. She was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington and received her Masters of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of Oregon in 2011. She is currently showing her work at many locations across the West Coast. On Hyde's website there are numerous examples of her unique approach to creating print/mixed-media artworks. A photo of one recent work shows charred remains of chairs and office equipment cascading down a well-worn flight of stairs. The website also includes several paragraphs that articulates Hyde's philosophy regarding her work. The Turner Print Museum Gallery is located in the Meriam Library at CSU, Chico and is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday during exhibition dates. Please note the gallery will be closed during CSU, Chico's spring break, March 16-24. Hyde will give a formal artist's presentation Thursday, April 11 at 5:30 p.m. in Rowland-Taylor Recital Hall (PAC 134); a reception at The Turner will follow. Tours and other viewing hours may be arranged by contacting Museum curator Catherine Sullivan at 530898-4476 or by e-mail at csullivan@csuchico.edu. School tours can also be arranged through The Turner's website: wwwtheturner.org. In conjunction with her visit to CSU, Chico Hyde will be interacting with Chico State printmaking students through class visits, workshops, and master classes. She will also be exhibiting a larger work at the 1078 Gallery March 9th-30th and giving an artist's talk at the 1078 Gallery March 9th beginning at 6 p.m. For her exhibit at the 1078 Gallery she will be paired with Nicole Pietrantoni, another printmaker who also exhibited in the last Janet Turner National Print Competition Exhibition.

Baxter Black, Keeping Dance Alive! Showcasing the talents of the North Valley's dancers, the 22nd annual Keeling Dance Alive! is a repertory dance concert designed to highlight the many diverse forms of dance. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 5 and 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 6. The 2013 Keeping Dance Alive! features an eclectic mix of ten diverse dance pieces by nine different choreographers including Contemporary ballet (Chico Community Ballet), choreographer: Kenneth Walker; Ballet (Chico Community Ballet), choreographer: Jarrah Myles; Contemporary Jazz (Chico Community Ballet), choreographer: Chico Community Ballet dancers; Coppelia (restaged) (Chico Community Ballet), choreographer: Deborah Jorritsma; Contemporary Jazz, Choreographer: Amanda Blake; Modern Dance , Choreographer: Chelsea Haskell; Musical Theatre, Choreographer: Catherine Beeghley and Tara Garcia; Belly Dance (Origin Tribal Belly Dance), Choreographer: Sarah Adams; Irish Dance (Oliver Academy of Irish Dance), Choreographer: Maria Oliver and Jazz (Momentum Dance Club), Choreographer: Amanda Blake. This year Chico Community Ballet is featuring a guest choreographer and professional dancer out of Los Angeles, Kenneth Walker. Having staged ballets for Keeping Dance Alive! in the past, Walker brings in an impressive resume of professional experience from around the United States. This year he will be choreographing a piece entitled "Dream Time," an abstraction of the moment between asleep and awake. Choreographing two pieces for this year's performance is Chico State credential student Amanda Blake. She describes her contemporary jazz piece as "uplifting" and is about finding your inner joy, what truly makes you happy. Her second piece in the show is a fusion jazz piece performed by Chico State's student-run Momentum Dance club, which she is in her fourth semester of doing choreography for. Blake is currently in her last semester of Chico State's Teaching Credential program for a single subject art credential with a supplement in dance. Deborah Jorritsma, Artistic Director of Chico Community Ballet will be choreographing a restaged piece from "Coppelia," the classical ballet about a mysterious and magical doll maker and a village girl named Swanhilda. The dance being featured will be a dance with Swanhilda and her friends. Returning to the Keeping Dance Alive! stage after several performances in previous KDAs is Origin Tribal Belly Dance. This year's exotic dance entitled "Tribalesque" highlights the sisterhood and collaboration that Origin is all about. Each member of this troupe has a part in the choreography of every piece. Keeping Dance Alive!, a repertory dance event, was started in 1991 in response to the decline of dance classes offered at Chico State University. Since that time, keeping Dance Alive! has successfully done just what its name says-to keep the various diverse forms of dance alive for the Chico Community.
