SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. –The fabled, wacky world of American pop art icon Andy Warhol will be the acoustic feature when the Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum at Cal State San Bernardino hosts its concert, “Warhol’s World in Song: Musical Snapshots from the 1960s,” on Friday, Nov. 12.
The free performance takes place from 7-9 p.m. at the museum. Parking is $5 and available in lots M, L and parking structure west.
The concert will offer music by Carl Fravel, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber, John Duke and Lori Laitman, among other composers, and will feature Southern California sopranos Suzan Hanson and Shana Blake Hill.
“Warhol’s World in Song” is curated and directed by Victoria Kirsch.
“Vicki’s brilliant, theme-based programs go far beyond being just concerts…with color and humor. She provokes the audiences to see the connections among different art forms. She mixes and matches the unmixable and the unmatchable: the old and contemporary musical works with the immediate visual and the behind the scenes contexts of the exhibition,” says Eva Kirsch, museum director.
The professional schedule of Victoria Kirsch includes national and international performances, working with major and regional opera companies, extensive audition performances, private coaching and university teaching. She currently creates and performs ongoing exhibit-based programs at local museums and is the pianist and music director of the L.A.-based Operetta Foundation.
This year’s concert accompanies an exhibit of Warhol’s media art portraits. “The Amusing Muse of Andy Warhol” is on display through Jan. 30 at the Fullerton Art Museum. The exhibition consists of Warhol’s portrait photographs from the museum’s permanent collection. These original photographs were a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Inc. through The Andy Warhol Legacy Program and came with a selection of his video art, “Screen Tests 1964-66,” which is on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Warhol (1928-1987) is one of the most intriguing artists of the 20th century. His art and ideas helped transform contemporary art. In his famous studio, The Factory, he employed mass-production techniques to art making, and thus challenged preconceived notions about the very nature of art and the traditional divisions between fine art and popular culture.
He secured his unique place in the history of visual culture by successfully exercising multiple media and often colorful roles, by blending his life with his art. A painter, printmaker, avant-garde filmmaker, photographer, collector, author, designer and record producer, Warhol masterfully maintained a radical nature of his endeavors throughout his entire career, ensuring the iconic status of both his art and himself.
Established in 1996, the Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum is a nationally recognized museum, accredited by the American Association of Museums. Located on the campus of Cal State San Bernardino, the RVF Art Museum has accumulated a permanent collection of nearly 1,200 objects focusing on Egyptian antiquities, ceramics and contemporary art.
General admission is free. The suggested donation is $3. Parking is $5 per vehicle.
Hours for the museum are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The museum is closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call (909) 537-7373 or go to Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum
