Since 1990 the painting has been on almost continuous loan, featured in exhibitions at 28 museums in the U. S. and around the world, including Australia, Canada, France, and Spain. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) taught herself how to paint after she was severely injured in a bus accident at the age of 18. For Kahlo, painting became an act of cathartic ritual and her symbolic images portray a cycle of pain, death, and rebirth. Kahlo's affair in New York City with her friend, the photographer Nickolas Muray (American, b. Hungary, 1892-1965), and subsequent divorce from the artist Diego Rivera left her heartbroken and lonely, but she produced some of her most powerful and compelling self-portraits during this time period. Muray purchased the Center's self-portrait from Kahlo to help her during a difficult financial period. It is part of the Nickolas Muray collection of more than 100 works of art, which was acquired by the Center in 1966. http://do512.com/event/2009/05/05/frida-kahlos-self-portrait-with-thorn-necklace-and-hummingbird http://do512.com/event/2009/05/05/frida-kahlos-self-portrait-with-thorn-necklace-and-hummingbird.xml Tuesday 05/05/09 20090505T150000Z/20090505T150000Z false 0 5.0 10:00 AM Tue, 05 May 2009 10:00:00 -0500 Tue, 05 May 2009 10:00:00 -0500 1 TUE http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/232284/Frida_Kahlo_Self_PortraitKUT_sq_90.jpg Harry Ransom Center 911 Harry Ransom Center http://do512.com/venue/harry-ransom-center http://do512.com/venue/harry-ransom-center.xml

93308 Paolo Veronese: The Petrobelli Altarpiece - Reconstructing a Renaissance Masterpiece The Blanton Museum of Art recently announced an important discovery regarding a work by Venetian master Paolo Veronese (1528 – 1588). Head of an Angel, a painting from the Blanton's Suida Manning collection, has been identified as a fragment of a long-lost Veronese masterpiece. <abbr title="Doctor">Dr.</abbr> Xavier Salomon, a Veronese expert and curator of the Dulwich Picture Gallery outside London, confirmed the fragment to be the head of Saint Michael, the central figure in the so-called Petrobelli altarpiece from 1565. Three other fragments from the altarpiece were previously identified in the collections of Dulwich, The National Gallery of Canada at Ottawa, and the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh. These works, along with the Blanton's newly identified Saint Michael, will be reunited for the first time in more than two centuries. The reconstructed altarpiece will be exhibited alongside x-rays and other ephemera and will travel to the Blanton in October 2009. http://do512.com/event/2009/10/04/paolo-veronese-the-petrobelli-altarpiece-reconstructing-a-renaissance-masterpiece http://do512.com/event/2009/10/04/paolo-veronese-the-petrobelli-altarpiece-reconstructing-a-renaissance-masterpiece.xml Sunday 10/04/09 20091004T150000Z/20091004T150000Z false 0 5.0 10:00 AM Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:00:00 -0500 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:00:00 -0500 1 SUN http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/238272/paolo_veronese_sq_90.jpg Blanton Museum of Art 869 Blanton Museum of Art http://do512.com/venue/blanton-musuem-of-art http://do512.com/venue/blanton-musuem-of-art.xml

Cyclocross racers start one minute behind Short Track MTB, use slightly different courses, but everyone finishes on the same lap Cost: $10, women, beginners and kids only $5. Second race same night $5.   Course Description: The fully illuminated motocross course and surrounding fields at <a href="http://www.advmxpark.com/">Austin/Del Valle Motorcross Park </a>(ADVMX). The Short Track and Cyclocross races share much of the same course. The vast majority of the course is more than 15 feet wide, very smooth, with no trees, rocks or other obstacles. There are several short and steep climbs and descents, as well as numerous banked turns, but the entire course is extremely safe and ideal for beginner cyclists and kids. There are several well-marked splits in the course, where Cyclocross racers will bear off for run ups, barriers, and Short Track racers will face rhythm sections and other technical challenges. A single lap takes four to six minutes to complete. Cost: A or B First Race: $10 Second Race: $5 Beginner/Youth: $5 Women: $5 SCCCC: $5 No licenses or land-access fees required Rules: <ul style="text-align: center;"> <li>All types of bikes are welcome</li> <li>Please remove your bar ends before racing</li> <li>You may not enter both the Beginner and A race the same night</li> <li>Everyone must sign a waiver – save time and print yours at home</li> <li>Helmets must be worn at all times while riding</li> <li>You may only pre-ride the course when specifically instructed by the announcer</li> <li>Sandbagging: While we have no “official” categories, it’s important that racing be fun for everyone. If you can lap the field then its time to race in a harder category. We have Masters and Single Speed categories during the B race so as to create more racing opportunities for our fastest racers without overwhelming our Intermediates. However, some of fastest racers like to do 3 races in a night: we ask you to be EXTREMELY courteous when lapping riders.</li> <li>Have fun</li> </ul> Categories: <ul style="text-align: center;"> <li>A Race: An “open” race for all abilities</li> <li>B Race:  Intermediate, Masters (4o+), and Single Speed categories for both Cyclocross and Short Track Mountain Bike. Short Track will start 2 minutes before Cyclocross, and all racers will finish on the same lap. Men and women start together and are scored separately.</li> <li>Beginner and Kids Races: A fun event for newer racers, or more experienced racers who are getting back into shape. The course avoids the most difficult sections. Beginner short track and cyclocross will start simultaneously but be scored seperately unless field size dictates staggering like the B and A race. Kids will start one minute after the Women’s Only race.</li> <li>Women Only Race: While we score women separately in every category, many women have said they prefer starting in their own event. Women-only Cyclocross and MTB will start simultaneously. This race will start one minute after the Beginner start.</li> </ul> Scoring: <ul style="text-align: center;"> <li>We take great pride in scoring everyone who races. However, mistakes are made. There will be a 10 minute window following each race to inform the scoring officials of any changes you need.</li> <li>Men and Women start together and are scored separately in all events.</li> <li>Short Track and Cyclocross are scored separately in all events</li> </ul> Awards and Prizes: <ul style="text-align: center;"> <li>There will be three 6-week mini-series, each of which will have awards for every category.</li> </ul> Rain and Race Postponement: The Austin/Del Valle Motorcross Park (ADVMX) is constituted of a type of clay that when saturated makes it impossible to drive onto the property, much less ride a bike. Thus, if there has been significant (>1″) rain prior to the event and a lack of sun and wind to dry it out, we will have to cancel the race. Please check out the <a href="http://www.dirtderby.com/">DirtDerby </a>website for last minute announcements. Historically, we have averaged one date in the fall. http://do512.com/event/weekly/tue/dirt-derby http://do512.com/event/weekly/tue/dirt-derby.xml Tuesday 11/24/09 20091124T233000Z/20091124T233000Z 0 7.0 05:30 PM Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:30:00 -0600 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:30:00 -0600 2 TUE 12/16/2009 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/283803/header-7_sq_90.jpg Austin/Del Valle Motorcross Park 7688 Austin/Del Valle Motorcross Park http://do512.com/venue/austin-del-valle-motorcross-park http://do512.com/venue/austin-del-valle-motorcross-park.xml

105010 Freefall: Chaddick returns, exploring the strength it takes to let go <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Cheryl Chaddick is fiercely independent and ever curious about the fortitude of the human spirit. Hailed for an inaugural Austin production in October 2008 following 21 years throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for a profound alternate approach to dance, Chaddick Dance Theater returns to continue building a reputation of “creating wonderfully full bodied dances that breathe, beautifully phrased, and explore matters of the heart” (San Francisco Bay Guardian) with the premiere of its second Austin production where audiences are invited to let go and experience Freefall. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> Freefall combines three new beautifully choreographed works and a special multi-media tribute to northern India culture as Cheryl Chaddick (pronounced "CHAIR-uhl"), the company's artistic director, vividly integrates strong messages of commitment, sacrifice and individuality with her dancers’ sheer talent that is sure to captivate audiences.   “This brand new set of dance works was inspired by the idea of freefalling and exploring the possibilities in modern dance,” said Chaddick. “This production uses the dancers’ extraordinary abilities to connect with the audience and tell stories of overcoming life’s challenges and accepting ourselves and each other for who we are and despite our differences.”   Freefall invites audiences to experience through the dancers a letting go: of one’s ego, of the familiar, of home, and of the expected. This production takes a deeper look into the thread that runs though the human condition from the epic story of Exodus to a very personal struggle of finding individuality despite social norms. Each performance also include with a multi-media tribute to Chaddick’s childhood spent partially in northern India.   The premiere of Freefall will mark Chaddick Dance Theater’s second production in Austin since returning to Texas after 20 years of choreographing, performing and teaching in San Francisco. Chaddick Dance Theater’s debut Austin production in 2008, Second Wind, won two of her dancers nominations in “best dancer award” category from the Austin Critics’ Table Awards.   THE PROGRAM “Three for Violin” showcases the dancers’ sheer talent with luscious violin suites and serpentine movements. The multi-layered elements create a vibrant, uplifting piece and fully exhibit the dancers’ abilities. This piece will feature recordings by: The Lyric Quartet.   “The Watchful Sleeping Heart” symbolizes the story of the Book of Exodus, representing experiences of the unforgiving, unrelenting desert trek from the Torah and the Old Testament and—universally—the strength of the human will when seeking a better life. The dance is inspired by the exodus of the Israelites leaving Egypt and their wandering, confusion, death, challenges of faith, and relentless sacrifice for 40 years to seek freedom in the Promised Land. This piece is a reflection of fortitude and fight in seeking freedom as the sole reason for living and dying. This piece will feature recordings by: Maya Beiser, Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Morgan Doctor.   “I’m Your Lullaby” takes an unconventional look into the idiosyncrasies of those we love and those merely tolerated in a humorous but loving depiction of mannerism, labels, worries and impulses that create the individual presence. Chaddick believes that our individuality is slowly melting together into a homogenized pot as differences are shunned and peer pressure often wins. This work attempts to turn the mirror around to get a glimpse of the human struggle to stay authentic by adopting self-commitment. This piece will feature recordings by: Thomas Newman.   “Faces and Images of India” will be included in each night’s performance as a multi-media piece that addresses Chaddick’s old fears and embraces the past 35 years through photos and music expressing the full body of the northern Indian culture. Having lived in Pakistan in her youth and her sister, Cynthia Chaddick, recently returning to the country with strong, scary, conflicting and loving memories, this moment is meant to express a sense of love and kindness towards the Indian people and their spirit during these confusing times and political climate.   http://do512.com/event/weekly/thu/freefall-chaddick-returns-exploring-the-strength-it-takes-to-let-go http://do512.com/event/weekly/thu/freefall-chaddick-returns-exploring-the-strength-it-takes-to-let-go.xml Thursday 11/26/09 20091127T020000Z/20091127T020000Z false 0 6.0 08:00 PM Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 1 THU 11/21/2009 http://www.brownpapertickets.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/296649/freefall-flyer-small_sq_90.jpg Salvage Vanguard Theater 1508 Salvage Vanguard Theater http://do512.com/venue/salvage-vanguard-theater http://do512.com/venue/salvage-vanguard-theater.xml
