Quartet Nouveau returns to the garden at Art Produce joined by baritone Jonathan Nussman for a free community concert. This one hour performance features the "Juliet Letters" by Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet. This piece was inspired by a Veronese academic who had taken on the task of replying to letters addressed to "Juliet Capulet." The idea of what was in these letters provided the inspiration for this work and Costello said about the music, "It's not a rock opera. It's a new thing." Quartet Nouveau is a San Diego based string quartet and is happy to collaborate with Jonathan whose varied interests include opera, theater, improvisation and chamber music. This concert is made possible by a grant from the Qualcomm Foundation. Related events: Connect with Quartet Nouveau on Facebook!

From the KPBS weekend arts preview: Gesture, fashion and emotion were the first things I noticed in Lani Emanuel's exhibition at Oceanside Museum of Art. "Beside Herself" is a series of large figurative paintings that chronicle the formative years of a girl's life, and the swings from joy to grief to annoyance to awkwardness is so palpable. Emanuel paints with a minimal backdrop, so the focus is on the light and movement in the image. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the artist: "Beside Herself is a journey of personal exploration concerning a difficult childhood and adolescence. My paintings are all in some way autobiographical, but additionally, they embody comparisons between my personal and contemporary young women’s issues concerning identity development, emotionality, connection and communication, introspection, family dynamics, and female relationships. They address these issues through the specifics of contemporary young women’s body language, gestures, gaze, interaction, and clothing choices. My series of shoe paintings represent the playful style choices of young women. I portray these young women as individuals and place them in minimalistic interior environments or exterior non-environments. I show a specific quality and direction of light to emphasize the mood of each painting. My figurative paintings are painted in oil on canvas or linen and are primarily created using the Zorn limited palette. I occasionally include an object or signifier such as an orange power cord, partially opened double doors, a tin foil star wand, or chandelier print wallpaper to invite an open-ended interpretation for the viewer. I depict the young women in my figurative paintings life-sized in the hopes that they will command attention, versus being easily ignored." –Lani Emanuel Learn more about the exhibition here.
