Hookman by Lauren Yee
Hookman by Lauren Yee
Directed & adapted by Michael Bernard
An early play by a rising contemporary playwright, Hookman has been described by some as a “slasher comedy.” Sometimes mysterious, often hilarious, Hookman is a biting story of teen angst and loss.

On the Road Again: Japan’s Tōkaidō in Prints and Paintings
The Tōkaidō, or Eastern Sea Road, was formed in the 17th century to link Japan’s old imperial capital, Kyoto, with the new warrior capital, Edo (modern Tokyo). Along the 320-mile route, 53 official post towns fed, lodged, and supplied travelers. By the mid-19th century, woodblock printed novels, guidebooks, and pictures made famous the road’s natural scenery—and real or imagined experiences.
This exhibition showcases a rare surviving set of the "Comic Picture Scroll of the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō," painted in 1921 by eighteen "manga" (“comic pictures”) artists from the newly formed Tokyo Manga Association, along with selected woodblock prints by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), the greatest landscape print artist of the "ukiyo-e" (floating world picture) tradition who memorialized the great highway. Drawn from the Museum's permanent collection and augmented with loans from local collectors, the installation also includes three woodblock prints by the post-war artist Sekino Jun’ichirō (1914–1988) whose "Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, creatively echoed some of Hiroshige’s memorable images, a further testament to the legacy of Hiroshige and Japanese artists’ continued romance with this famed road.
This intimate exhibition was guest curated by Kendall H. Brown, Professor of Japanese Art History at California State University, Long Beach.

Salt and Silver: Early Photography 1840 – 1860
Featuring more than 100 seldom-displayed salt prints from the Wilson Centre for Photography, this extraordinary exhibition provides a rare chance to experience some of the earliest photographs ever made, by many of the most important and groundbreaking figures in the history of the photographic medium. "Salt and Silver" surveys the first two decades of photography’s evolution through the salt paper print process, unveiled in 1839 by the English scientist and scholar William Henry Fox Talbot. Talbot’s invention was a scientific and artistic breakthrough that created an entirely new visual experience. The technique—which used the simple compounds of salt and silver—was efficient, portable, and versatile, traits that allowed the practice of photography to spread across the globe from the early 1840s onward. Featuring the work of more than 40 practitioners, "Salt and Silver" traces their networks and geographical reach from England into Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and North America. The presentation at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art represents the final opportunity to see this exhibition after being on view at Tate Britain, London; Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, and the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College, Claremont, CA. Salt and Silver: Early Photography 1840–1860 has been organized by the Wilson Centre for Photography with the Yale Center for British Art.

Ari Benjamin Meyers: Kunsthalle for Music

The Observable Universe: Visualizing the Cosmos in Art
By definition, the observable universe comprises all matter that can be seen or captured with current technologies. As vast and all-encompassing as that may seem, it still presumes a specific perspective from which all else is viewed and conceptualized—one afforded by the particular viewpoint of being on earth. Our unbridgeable physical distance from other cosmic entities, including the infinite reaches of other galaxies, has forced artists to look to observational sciences like astronomy for inspiration and employ experimental methods to conceptualize the vastness of outer space. In astronomy, there are multiple methods used to visualize celestial objects. Similarly, artists’ perceptions of the universe vary widely, inspired by a variety of cosmological models.
Drawing primarily from SBMA’s permanent collection and supplemented by loans from area collections, "The Observable Universe" explores a diverse range of artistic representations of the cosmos roughly coinciding with the ‘Space Age’ of the last sixty years. From early fascinations with space travel to philosophical questions of humankind’s place within the larger universe, the artwork featured in this exhibition reflects an enduring captivation with outer space and the mesmerizing imagery that the limitless cosmos inspires.
“The Untethered Soul” book discussion group

Karen says.

Parallel Stories Lecture: Susan Straight
Parallel Stories Lecture: Susan Straight
Parallel Stories looks at the power of memory and the family stories that are woven together in the "Homeric" epic and memoir of "In the Country of Women: A Memoir" in a reading and conversation with award-winning author Susan Straight. In this ode to what The New York Times called "the entire multiracial, transnational tribe she claims as her own,” Straight reminds us in powerful, fiercely lyrical language of the grit, hope, courage, resilience, hope, and sorrow inextricably connected to our stories—stories of women, stories of coming to, and leaving, and returning, and in the author’s case, stories written within blocks of where she was born and still lives in Riverside County. This book, addressed in large part to her daughters, is finally and most tellingly about love—transcendent, inconvenient, persistent, imperfect generations of love. Straight has published eight novels, including "Highwire Moon," finalist for the National Book Award in 2001, and "Between Heaven and Here." Her short stories have appeared in "Zoetrope," the "Ontario Review," the "Oxford American," the "Sun," "Black Clock," and many others. Her essays have appeared in "The New York Times," "Reader’s Digest," "Family Circle," "Salon," the "Los Angeles Times," "Harpers," the "Nation," and elsewhere.

Chucho Valdés and Band: Jazz Batá
Chucho Valdés and Band: Jazz Batá
A protean performer who has been a singular force in music for more than half a century, Chucho Valdés’ unprecedented synthesis of folkloric Afro-Cuban rhythms, rock, funk and jazz opened up vast new musical frontiers. His most recent project, Jazz Batá, revisits an exceptional early experiment pairing a piano jazz trio with batá drums, sacred instruments used in Santeria rituals. The influential Cuban pianist, composer and arranger revamps that formative project, leading his youthful, powerhouse band of bass, congas and batá in this upbeat night with the “founder of the definitive contemporary Cuban jazz” (Billboard).
“Valdés’ explorations of the African influences in Cuban music are so profound that he is revered by musicians who play jazz, dance music, Buena Vista styled classic Cuban son, and even the island’s hip-hop community.”NPR

Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan 40th Anniversary Celebration
Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan 40th Anniversary Celebration
Although they both had been playing individually for years, Tom and Kenny met and began making music together 40 years ago when guesting on local radio KCSB. After they had played a song, the station received a phone call offering them $15 and a pizza to come to play at the Sojourner. They accepted – but only after holding out for free beer. The rest, as they say, is history.
The Flying Fish/Rounder recording artists have now been playing their unique blend of guitar and harmonica blues, rags, and good time music to widely diverse audiences for 40 years. Their live performances include concerts, clubs, and festivals all over the world.
Together and separately they have worked on countless film scores, TV soundtracks, commercials, and sessions. They’ve appeared on television internationally, have played for audiences of 300 million via Voice of America and are frequent guests of National Public Radio. Between them, they have issued 14 CDs, 12 instructional books and several DVDs. In addition to working with Kenny, Tom has played on over 260 CDs… and Kenny was recently honored by Martin Guitars with his own Signature Model 000-18KS. For more info, feel free to access tomballkennysultan.com.
Any musical act that can stick together 40 years is worth celebrating – but especially one that was born and nurtured here in Santa Barbara. In their long career, the boys have played every venue in town – from the smallest dive bar to the County Bowl – but our own Lobero Theater has always been their favorite. Come join the party!

We will be hosting our 5th annual Halloween Cupcake and Wine pairing on Sat. Oct. 26th. Add a trio of 3 cupcakes to your wine flight for $6.00. These cupcakes are the best we have ever had, from Food Network's Cupcake Wars winner Alison Riede of Sugar Cat Studio. Cupcakes will sell out so come by early or you may miss out! We will also hold a costume contest with prizes so come and celebrate with us!
