Rodney Smith Retrospective with Paul Martineau, Curator of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum

Gilman Contemporary

Join us along with Paul Martineau, Curator of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum and Leslie Smolan, Executive Director of the Rodney Smith Estate, in celebrating the release of Rodney Smith: A Leap of Faith published by Getty Publications. Born in New York City, Rodney Smith (1947-2016) developed his extraordinary eye over the course of 4 decades. Starting his career as a photo-essayist he found his stride with portrait photography which led to his greatest art in fashion photography. His sophisticated compositions and stylish characters exist in a timeless world of grand, romantic scenes with quiet allure while also reflecting his innate playfulness with whimsical and surreal visual twists. "Taking photographs was my way of reconciling the mundane with the ideal, of reconciling my fears, and shifting from anxious loner to participant. It was with my camera that I began to find intimacy." - Rodney Smith Pictured & On View in Galley: Don Jumping Over Hay Roll No. 1, Monkton, Maryland, 1999, acquired by the Getty in 2021

Join us for Gallery Walk at Gilman Contemporary

Gilman Contemporary

Kick off the summer with new works by Mayne Kratz! Kratz finds inspiration in Arizona's harsh desert climate, collecting found organic materials such as bone fragments, poppy pods, grasses, and flowers which she collects on long hikes in the surrounding area of her home and even on the train tracks behind her studio. She arranges this matter in circles, constellations, nests and other forms before suspending it in resin against a painted panel. Materiality is both heightened and diminished as the earthen matter transforms into a micro or macro ecosystem of its own. The process is time-consuming, toxic and difficult, but for her, this act of preservation is an ode to the cyclical pattern of nature. "With my art, I celebrate the endless cycles of change and rebirth," she explains. "I have great reverence for the natural world." Also on view is Leap of Faith: Rodney Smith Retrospective, with Paul Martineau, Curator of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum, and Leslie Smolan, Executive Director of the Rodney Smith Estate, in attendance.

Desdemona: A Play about a Handkerchief

The Mint

Desdemona: A Play about a Handkerchief Presented by THE LIBERTY THEATRE COMPANY July 7-22 at The Mint in Hailey Written by Paula Vogel Directed by Veronica Moonhill Starring Audra Honaker, Tess Makena, and Aly Wepplo Tickets at LibertyTheatreCompany.org This rowdy, hysterical, feminist update on Othello is written by Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of How I Learned to Drive, and serves as the perfect addition to summer fun in Hailey. As the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Shakespeare's tragic Moor, Othello, Desdemona has long been viewed as the "victim of circumstance." But as Paula Vogel demonstrates in her comic deconstruction of Shakespeare's play - aligning tongue-in-cheek humor while raising serious questions as to the role of women through the ages - Desdemona was far from the quivering naif we've all come to know. PERFORMANCES: July 7th - 8th at 7pm July 9th at 2pm and 7pm July 13th - 15th at 7pm July 16th at 2pm July 19th - 21st at 7pm July 22nd at 2pm TICKET PRICE: $30 General Admission $15 Student Fort tickets and season passes, call 208-582-8388, or visit LibertyTheatreCompany.org
