Visions of Trane: New Exhibition Curated by Terry Jenoure Opens March 14
Free and Open to the Public
Newton, MA- How does the revolutionary become the standard, the rule not the exception? Curated by artist and musician Terry Jenoure, Visions of Trane, highlights the history, experimentation, and improvisation of John Coltrane as a marriage of contemporary art and music. Through the lens of Coltrane’s modal jazz classic, “Naima,” the New Art Center Exhibition, unifies sound and a visual landscape with the works of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Andres Chaparo, Terry Jenoure, Iwalanikaluhio Kalani, and Kenson Truong.
What moves artists to explore, change, provoke, and question? Utilizing painting, drawing, collage, and performance to slow time and space, Trane’s artists bridge a world between musician and audience, between artist and viewer. Creating an auditory landscape, guests are urged, through a digital playlist, to travel in time with John Coltrane’s music as companion to the visual representation.
The opening reception will be held on March 14, at 6:00 PM at the New Art Corridor at 245 Walnut Street in Newton. An artist talk, featuring curator Terry Jenoure will be held on Thursday, April 11th at 6:00 pm, with the exhibition up through Sunday, April 28th, 2024.
Visions of Trane is part of New Art Center’s BIPOC Curatorial Program, which enables Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to develop exhibitions that spark dialogue as well as share their personal vision and experiences. Other exhibitions in the series have included: INTERCESSION, curated by Reggie Woolery, and including the photographic works of Philip Keith, Lauren Miller, Alonso Nichols, and Sam Williams. The exhibition ASWAT (Arabic word for voices) curated by Joelle Tomb gave visibility and elevated the voices and perspectives of Arab Women.
The New Art Corridor is sponsored by Mass Cultural Council, Village Bank, and Mark Development. New Art’s BIPOC Curatorial Program is supported by Newton Cultural Council, Village Bank, and Harmony Foundation.
