Jennifer Hecker's "Dolls & Dresses"

Time:

Location:

Jennifer Hecker's "Dolls & Dresses" will be show from January 29-February 26, 2010. The Opening Reception will be held Friday, January 29 from 7-9p.m. Jennifer Hecker's sculptures from the last few years have explored scale as an alternate between working out ideas with dolls and fabricating life-sized dresses. In a very real sense, she has been playing with dolls-distorting their scale; altering their clothes; changing their context. These sculptures refer to the female experiences. Cast in bronze, they are transformed from toys to trophies and from play things to miniature classical sculptures. These female figures "godlesses" as they suggest Greek, Roman, and Hindu goddesses, while simultaneously contemporary in their "Barbie-ness." Think of them as secular saints of sorts. The life-size dresses are fabricated in a variety of materials from straw to eggshells to cast bronze. They underscore the connection between women and nature.

Visiting Writer: Colm Toibin @ MCC

Time:

Location:

Colm Toibin will be at MCC for a reading and book-signing (free and open to the public). On Friday, March 5 at 12:00p.m. in Building 5 Room 200 there will be a discussion and workshop (free and open to the MCC Community). Since the death of John McGahern, Colm Toibin is arguably the Republic of Ireland's most important fiction writer. Toibin publishes in a variety of genres, including travel writing, poetry, criticism, and cultural commentary. He is a regular contributor to such publications as the London Review of Books, the New York Review of Books, and the New Yorker. While he now lives in Dublin, his writing has an international subject matter and an international perspective. He is perhaps best known in the US for "The Blackwater Lightship" (1999), the story of an Irish family coming to terms with the death of a family member from AIDS, which was made into a US TV production in 2004. Toibin's "The Master" (2004) exhibits his confidence with non-Irish subject matter through massively reconstructing Henry James' life in a fictional account that explores the relationship between James' carefully guarded private lives and their fictional renderings. While Toibin is a gay writer, he wears a label nonchalantly, and sexuality and sexual identity is only one of his ubjects. His criticism includes "Love in a Dark Time: Gay Lives from Wilde to Almodovar" (2002); but he has also written extensively on figures from the Irish Renaissance, and his latest collection of short stories, "Mothers and Sons" (2006), concerns the struggles of a widowed single mother attempting to provide for her family in a hostile business environment, a young boy negotiating conflicting generational loyalties, and an exploration of fluid sexual identity in a vigilant, repressive culture.

Jacqueline Welch's "Patron Saints"

Time:

Location:

Jacqueline Welch's "Patron Saints" will be shown March 5 through April 2, 2010. The Opening Reception will be held Friday, March 5 from 7-9p.m. and a Gallery Talk will be held the same day at noon. Jacqueline Welch's current painting practices is narrative and addresses the animal as companion. Religious symbol and the sublime landscape are also of interest to her. Her process is drawing intensive. Paint is applied in semi-transparent layers so that parts of the drawing show through. In this recent work each dog is the patrom saint for a particular human idiosyncrasy. Through these paintings she advocates for shelter dogs and their right to be life-long companions. Her concerns involve the current debate of no-kill shelters vs. traditional shelters that periodically euthanize unwanted pets, and the rise in abandoned pets dure to the failing US economy. The sacred and pagan elements in her work are derived from her Irish-Catholic background and her interestin medieval painting and Celtic art.

The former Director of the Pyramid Arts Center, a non-profit space for artists in Rochester, New York, until in 1986 he moved permanently to New York City.

MCC's Spring Play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller

Time:

Location:

MCC's Spring drama, "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller will be April 9 & 10 @ 7:30p.m. and April 11 @ 2:00p.m. Join us in a new version of Miller's world-renowned play. This new MCC staging will have contemporary actors in modern dress re-enacting the story in a thrilling and in-your-face presentational stle. It's a story that has political overtones with the Red scare of the 1950s, but also in today's world with modern witch-hunts that surround our public figures. The hysteria of the late 1600s still exists; it just has taken different and maybe even more sinister forms. This new version will be a thrill ride of emotion and intellectual confrontation.
