Two bi-coastal, slightly off-center, musical talents with a long history, are coming together to do their first full show together. Cindy Lee Berryhill has been putting out albums since 1987, most recently "The Adventurist" in 2017. She helped spawn the Anti-Folk movement in New York City, and was featured in the documentary Mariposa: "Under a Stormy Sky" along with Emmylou Harris, "The Violent Femmes", and Daniel Lanois. She has published a novel, "Memoirs of A Female Messiah". “She deserves a berth in any Hall of Fame, for the humanities she brings to the usual vanities of song-writing.” – Van Dyke Parks With twelve solo albums to his credit John Kruth is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/composer who plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, flute, harmonica, and sitar. John currently leads the six-piece New York-based chamber/rock ensemble The Folklorkestra. As a sideman, Kruth has jammed with Laurie Anderson, Violent Femmes, John Prine, King Missile, Hal Willner, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Elizabeth Swados, Sam Shepard, and Ornette Coleman. John Kruth is also the author of three musical biographies to date including "Bright Moments – The Life and Legacy of Rahsaan Roland Kirk", "To Live’s To Fly – The Ballad of the Late", "Great Townes Van Zandt", and "Rhapsody in Black – The Life & Music of Roy Orbison". His other books include "This Bird Has Flown – The Enduring Beauty of Rubber Soul 50 Years On", "A Friend of the Devil – the Glorification of the Outlaw in Song from Robin Hood to Rap", "Hold on World: The Lasting Impact of John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono", and most recently "Lunacy: The Curious". Phenomenon of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon 50 Years On. “John Kruth is the high-octane raconteur of the Underground.” – David Amram

Join us on Friday, February 9 for the Russell Lecture, featuring Elliott Hundley. This program is free for MCASD Members and UC San Diego faculty, staff, and students; $5 for other students and seniors; and $15 for non-members. UC San Diego ID is required for free entry. Presented with support from UCSD. About Elliott Hundley Known for his dense multimedia compositions that reference both art history and mythology, Hundley’s work weaves together scenes from the past with familiar imagery taken from the contemporary world. Working in a variety of media Hundley fuses painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, photography, and performance into rich, multifaceted tableaux. Through a process ranging from gradual accumulation to spontaneous mark making, he builds up the surface of his works using quotidian found materials. Individual additions of embroidery, thread, straight pins, ephemera, magazine cut-outs, photographs, and paint come together to form complex compositions that at first glance appear unified but on closer inspection reveal their intricate and dexterously crafted components. About the Russell Lecture The Russell Foundation was established in the will of Betty Russell, one of MCASD's founding docents and a long-time supporter of UC San Diego. She specified that funds from the foundation should help "foster the appreciation and study of the modern visual arts and creativity of young artists" through support for the Museum and the University. Past Russell Lecture speakers have included have included Shizu Saldamando (2023), June Edmonds (2021), Njideka Akunyili Crosby (2020), Rodney McMillian (2019), Zackary Drucker (2018), Miguel Calderón (2017), Andrea Bowers (2016), Judith Barry (2015), Tacita Dean (2014), Byron Kim (2013), Tania Bruguera (2012), and Isaac Julien (2011).
