The Dante Project, the award-winning ballet by choreographer Wayne McGregor, composer Thomas Adès, and visual artist Tacita Dean, returns to London's Royal Opera House, where it was first performed in 2021, for eight performances by the Royal Ballet, from this Saturday through December 2. You can get tickets here.

Adès's music, Dante, was performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel at Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2022, the Nonesuch recording of which was just nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Classical Composition, Best Orchestral Performance, and, for the album's producer, Dmitriy Lipay, Producer of the Year, Classical. You can get it and hear it here.

“In any new shortlist of great ballet scores by Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Bartók, Ravel, Prokofiev, Britten, and Bernstein, Dante must newly be included for its musical invention alone,” exclaims the Los Angeles Times. “There is not a second in its 88 minutes that doesn’t delight. All of it is unexpected and wanted.” The collectable limited vinyl two-LP edition of Dante includes artwork by Dean and photography from the Royal Ballet’s performance.

Tacita Dean, Beautiful Sheffield, 2001

SUMMARY

Beautiful Sheffield belongs to a portfolio of twenty black and white photogravures with etching collectively entitled The Russian Ending. The portfolio was printed by Niels Borch Jensen, Copenhagen and published by Peter Blum Editions, New York in an edition of thirty-five; Tate’s copy is the fifth of ten artist’s proofs. Each image in the portfolio is derived from a postcard collected by the artist in her visits to European flea markets. Most of the images depict accidents and disasters, both man-made and natural. Superimposed on each image are white handwritten notes in the style of film directions with instructions for lighting, sound and camera movements, suggesting that the each picture is the working note for a film. The title of the series is taken from a convention in the early years of the Danish film industry when each film was produced in two versions, one with a happy ending for the American market, the other with a tragic ending for Russian audiences. Dean’s interventions encourage viewers to formulate narratives leading up to the tragic denouements in the prints, engaging and implicating the audience in the creative process. The grainy black and white photograph that provided the source material for Beautiful Sheffield depicts a series of dark chimneys emitting black smoke into a grey and heavy sky. Soot obscures the roofs in the foreground, rendering the bottom half of the image almost completely black. Dean’s interest in narrative and the mechanisms of the film industry are also evident in her other work. Her installation Foley Artist, 1996 (Tate T07870) depicts cinematic sound engineers recording acoustic effects for a short soundtrack. The Roaring Forties: Seven Boards in Seven Days, 1997 (Tate T07613) is a series of chalkboard drawings that use the conventions of the filmic storyboard to suggest dramatic events taking place in tempestuous waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean. The Uncles, 2004 (collection of the artist) is a film about the artist’s own family connections to the first two Chief Executives of Ealing Studios, Basil Dean (1888-1978; Chief Executive 1931-37) and Michael Balcon (1896-1977; Chief Executive 1937-59). Dean’s detailed notes cover much of this print. She describes her fictional film as ‘a nostalgic film about the loss of pastoral England’. She details the effects that would be used to replicate the image in the postcard: ‘neon fx to exaggerate pollution ... smog backlit ... bucolic bliss crossed out’. She specifies that this final image would be accompanied by a soundtrack of a local choir singing Jerusalem, and reproduces in full the poem by William Blake (1757-1827) on which the hymn is based. The industrial horizon in the image is unfavourably compared to the rural landscape it superceded: ‘the Russian (pastoral) Ending ... we must weep for the past’.

Tacita Dean took this photo of a sculpture in Cy Twombly's library in 2008. She didn't publish it, but Mary Jacobus uses it in talks about her book Reading Cy Twombly: Poetry in Paint. Anyway, I have been trying to figure out what this sculpture is, where it's from and what it was doing in the library where Twombly also slept.

At first I thought it was an allegorical figure of the Law, but that tablet in his hand says "LEE." Which I really hope is not Robert E. Lee, the president of the college Twombly attended in Lexington, VA, where he lived much of his life.

#Cy Twombly #Tacita Dean #Mary Jacobus #please not THAT Lee #oh no is the white southern guy who went to the whole-ass college-shaped confederate memorial a fan of robert e lee?

For Merce Cunningham performs STILLNESS (2007), Dean constructs a whispered meditation on impermanence and nostalgia, casting the celebrated choreographer as performer of his 50-year partner and collaborator John Cage's avant-garde composition, 4'33” (first performed 1952).

As cited in:

The Past is the Present; It's the Future Too. The Temporal Turn in Contemporary Art Christine Ross (Author)

The term 'temporality' often refers to the traditional mode of the way time is: a linear procession of past, present and future. As philosophers will note, this is not always the case. Christine Ross builds on current philosophical and theoretical examinations of time and applies them to the field of contemporary art: films, video installations, sculpture and performance works.

Ross first provides an interdisciplinary overview of contemporary studies on time, focusing on findings in philosophy, psychology, sociology, communications, history, postcolonial studies, and ecology. She then illustrates how contemporary artistic practices play around with what we consider linear time. Engaging the work of artists such as Guido van der Werve, Melik Ohanian, Harun Farocki, and Stan Douglas, allows investigation though the art, as opposed to having art taking an ancillary role. The Past is the Present; It's the Future Too forces the reader to understand the complexities of the significance of temporal development in new artistic practices.
