San Diego Weekend Arts Events: Mary Corse, SummerFest, Border Murals And Disney At The Drive-In
Speaker 1: 00:00 How about taking the edge off this scorching hot weekend with a little art and culture, whether it's in person or broadcast from an empty concert hall, there's a chance to catch a striking work of art with COVID style appointment viewings, a couple of free options from the LA Jolla music societies. Some are fast kicking off today and a beloved animated musical drive in style. Johnny Mae is KPBS arts editor and producer Julia Dickson Evans with all the details and welcome Julia. Hi Maureen. Now let's start with a new space from the people behind Quint gallery. What's special about Quint one and what's on display right now. Yeah, quints opened a new smaller space in LA Jolla this summer on Gerard, and it's dedicated to showing one significant piece of work at a time. Right now they're doing socially distant appointment, only viewings for it to, um, they opened with a work last month by Robert Irwin. Speaker 1: 01:03 But right now there's a massive work by legendary artist. Mary course, I've pretty much guessed when I saw there was a work by Mary course in town. It's hair, light painting grid series piece. And that was part of the Guggenheims 1971, 10 young artists show. It's this huge canvas, eight feet by eight feet uses hair signature glass microspheres to refract light. Her work has really vibrant buzzes with light. So it really warrants an in person visit none of this online viewing stuff. So if you've been waiting for the perfect messy thing to try out appointment only gallery visits, this is the one. Okay. Mary courses, light painting grid series is on view at Quint one in LA Jolla through Monday. Now, earlier this week on mid day edition, we spoke with music director on Barton on about this year's Summerfest re-imagined, but Julia, you found out about a few free Summerfest programs. Yeah. In addition to streaming these fully produced performances from that stage, they'll also host several public discussions and dress rehearsal, livestreams of select pieces on YouTube today at two o'clock, you can sound check with festival director Barton on, along with cellist Clive green Smith and violinist Tessa Lark bell rehearse Beethoven symphony number two in D major arranged for a piano trio, which will be part of tonight's performance program Speaker 2: 02:59 [inaudible]. Speaker 1: 03:09 And then on Saturday at TPM, you can catch a rehearsal of Mendelssohn's piano trio. Number one in D minor. These are both live stream from the concert hall at the new Conrad previs performing arts center. And they'll also be a Q and a with the performers at the end of the rehearsal. These are free, but you'll need to register to get to the link to participate in that Q and a free open rehearsals are alive stream today and tomorrow at 2:00 PM on YouTube, the new popup drive in at the Westfield North County parking lot has a good family option tonight. Yeah, and unfortunately, we haven't been able to sneak away from this heat wave by heading to a nice air conditioned movie theater, but the California center for the arts. Escondido's trying to approximate that a little they're bringing movies and concerts to the mall parking lot tonight, they're showing Disney's 2009 animated musical, the princess and the frog. And this summer, we got the news that Disneyland's revamping that problematic splash mountain ride to be princess and the frog theme. So it's the perfect time to brush up on, on this movie. It's set in 1912, new Orleans kind of a twist on the frog kissing trope. And it was notable for Disney for being a returned to hand drawn traditional animation. And Randy Newman's music is pretty catchy too. Huh? Speaker 2: 04:34 I don't have time for dancing. Just gonna have to slow down [inaudible] but I don't care Speaker 1: 05:15 Was from the princess and the frog, which shows tonight at eight at the new popup drive in, in the parking lot of Westfield North County for more arts events or to sign up for the weekly arts newsletter, go to kpbs.org/arts.
