Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Sage Sohier: Passing Time". This solo exhibition will feature a remarkable selection of black and white photographs from Sohier’s recently published Nazraeli Press monograph of the same title. The show will run from February 17 - April 27, with a reception and book signing with the artist from 5-7 p.m., on Saturday the 17 of February. This will be the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. The images that comprise the exhibition are drawn from the photographer’s compelling and kindhearted portraits made between 1979-85 of people living in working class and ethnic neighborhoods in her hometown, as well as in the towns she visited each summer during her annual road trips through the eastern and southern regions of the country. The exhibition will showcase both a selection of vintage gelatin silver prints, as well as 16 x 20 inch modern gelatin silver prints, which are the result of the photographer revisiting her archive of negatives and contact sheets from the early 1980s where she discovered a trove of captivating images that had never been printed. Of the work, Sohier observes, “I noticed a kind of relaxed sensuality in many of the pictures. A kind of theater of the streets emerged”. Sage Sohier has been photographing people in their environments for more than 30 years, and has been awarded fellowships from the No Strings Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation in recognition of her work.

A faithless shepherd, a lovelorn shepherdess, and a charlatan magician meet in a pastoral tale of jealousy, romance, and magic. On January 27 and 28, at San Diego’s historic Liberty Station, Cinballera Entertainment presents Bastien und Bastienne, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s first opera, paired with an original ballet of the same story. On January 27, it would have been Mozart’s 268th birthday! In honor of this occasion, Cinballera is putting on the rarely performed Bastien und Bastienne, which he wrote at age thirteen. This charming, one-act chamber opera features only three characters and displays the young composer’s early genius in its beautiful melodies. It will be sung in German with live piano accompaniment, but the extensive dialogue will be spoken in historically-inspired English, to better present the story. The second half will feature the world premiere of a brand-new ballet based on Bastien und Bastienne, written and choreographed by Rebekah and Tiffany Brannan. Set to Gabriel Faure’s pastoral orchestral suite Masques et bergamasques, it tells the story of the opera through dance! About Cinballera Entertainment Cinballera Entertainment is an independent fine arts production company, founded by sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan in June 2023. The name stands for Cinema, Ballet, and Opera, its three main areas of focus. Last year, they put on four original productions at unique locations throughout San Diego County. Like all Cinballera productions, Bastien und Bastienne will be staged with subtlety, taste, and decency, so viewers of all ages and backgrounds can come. However, they are not geared exclusively to children; they tell mature, exciting stories in a clean, artistic way. Operatic soprano Tiffany Brannan will star in the opera, and professional ballerina Rebekah Brannan will play the leading lady in the ballet. They will be joined by a group of talented professional singers and dancers. Don't miss this delightful tribute to classical music and pastoral romance!
