\u2018Idaho Stories\u2019 \u2013 Free Exhibition Tour<\/b><\/p>\n

5:30PM \/ The Center \/ Ketchum<\/p>\n

\"IdahoThe Sun Valley Center for the Arts will host an evening tour of its new visual arts exhibition, \u201cIdaho Stories,\u201d at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10. Visitors are invited to enjoy a glass of wine in the gallery and a guided tour with The Center\u2019s curators and gallery guides. The \u201cIdaho Stories\u201d gallery exhibition is part of The Center\u2019s latest BIG IDEA project\u2013\u2013one that explores Idaho\u2019s fascinating ties to the history of American literature and considers Idaho as a place that has long generated all kinds of stories. The exhibition features the work of five artists\u2013\u2013two historic, three contemporary\u2013\u2013all responding to Idaho\u2019s landscapes and literature.<\/p>\n

When Seattle-based artist Scott Fife came to Hailey in 2014 to work on wash paintings and cardboard sculptures of Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway, he was struck by the curious fact that these two leading figures of American modernist literature began and ended their lives, respectively, in the same small Idaho valley. Pound\u2019s birth in Hailey and Hemingway\u2019s death in Ketchum frame the work that Fife produced for the exhibition.<\/p>\n

Mary Hallock Foote was a reluctant transplant to the American West when she followed her husband, a mining engineer, to California in the 1870s. A contributor to magazines like \u201cScribner\u2019s\u201d and \u201cThe Century,\u201d Foote was able to continue her career while embarking on a radically different life from the one she had known in the East. The exhibition features illustrations Foote made for \u201cThe Century\u201d during her 12 years living in Boise.<\/p>\n

Born in 1899 in Idaho\u2019s west-central mountains, James Castle was deaf from birth and never learned to speak. He communicated instead through his artwork, creating his drawings with found paper or cardboard, soot and spit, ink and pigment. Castle used his artwork to interpret his surroundings and, taken as a whole, his work tells a very particular story of a life lived entirely in Idaho.<\/p>\n

Boise-based artist Troy Passey creates works on paper made with a spare palette. His compositions, which often feature simple gridded structures or depict elemental landscapes, echo those of James Castle. Passey uses literature as a touchstone, incorporating fragments of text into his work. Pound and Hemingway are frequent sources of inspiration for Passey, in part because of their ties to Idaho.<\/p>\n

Marilynne Robinson\u2019s \u201cHousekeeping\u201d\u2013\u2013a novel that features evocative images of northern Idaho\u2019s landscapes, inspired Amanda Hamilton\u2019s project, \u201cThe Life of Perished Things.\u201d Hamilton\u2019s installation intertwines video, painting and drawing in an immersive experience that responds to intersections between the novel, events in Hamilton\u2019s own family history and her own experience of living in Idaho for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n

An additional evening exhibition tour for \u201cIdaho Stories\u201d is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 1, and the gallery exhibition will be on view at The Center in Ketchum through Friday, Jan. 6, 2017. For more information, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call (208) 726-9491.<\/p>\n

Documentary Double Feature <\/b><\/p>\n

7PM \/ Magic Lantern Cinemas \/ Ketchum<\/p>\n

\"DocumentaryThe Sun Valley Center for the Arts\u2019 2016\u20132017 film series continues Thursday, Nov. 10 with a documentary double feature associated with The Center\u2019s current BIG IDEA project, \u201cIdaho Stories.\u201d The screening of \u201cJames Castle: Portrait of an Artist\u201d will begin at 7 p.m., followed by the film \u201cErnest Hemingway: Wrestling with Life,\u201d at the Magic Lantern Cinemas in Ketchum.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Castle: Portrait of an Artist\u201d\u00a0(53 mins.) tells the story of an artist who was born deaf in 1899 in rural Idaho. From a very young age, Castle mined the local landscape of his family\u2019s homesteads and his own deeply private world to produce an astonishing body of drawings, collages and constructions that eventually gained worldwide recognition. Jeffrey Wolf\u2019s acclaimed documentary reveals Castle\u2019s life and creative process, as told by family members, art historians, curators, artists, collectors and members of the deaf community. This inspirational story of a true \u201coutsider artist\u201d is a remarkable example of the triumph of the human spirit and the imagination.<\/p>\n

Part of A&E\u2019s award-winning biography series, \u201cErnest Hemingway: Wrestling with Life\u201d\u00a0(100 mins.) is a deep look at one of the 20th century\u2019s great literary figures through a combination of still photography, commentaries and readings from Hemingway\u2019s writings\u2013\u2013both published and personal. His granddaughter, Mariel Hemingway, who has spent much of her life in the Sun Valley area, narrates the film. Directed by Stephen Crisman, this intriguing film takes viewers from Hemingway\u2019s Midwestern childhood through his tragic suicide in Ketchum in 1961.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn researching films that would enhance our \u2018Idaho Stories\u2019 BIG IDEA, I was thrilled to come across the documentary on James Castle,\u201d said Kristine Bretall, The Center\u2019s director of Performing Arts. \u201cFor most of his life, this artist, who was born in Garden Valley and attended the Gooding School for the Deaf and Blind, communicated predominantly through his artwork. While he was under the radar for a long time, by 1964 Castle was being described as the \u2018most important primitive [artist] since Grandma Moses.\u2019 This film reveals how much Castle could communicate\u2013\u2013and how little most of us know about him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the other hand, though many of us are familiar with Ernest Hemingway\u2013\u2013one of Ketchum\u2019s most famous former residents\u2013\u2013Stephen Crisman\u2019s film brings to light many aspects of Hemingway\u2019s life and work that are relatively unknown. Revisiting someone like Hemingway gives us a chance to look more deeply at the way we see people through different eyes as we ourselves change through time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets for the double feature are $10 for members of The Center and $12 for nonmembers. Tickets may be purchased in advance through The Center\u2019s box office or website. For more information, visit sunvalleycenter.org, call (208) 726-9491 or visit The Center\u2019s box office at 191 Fifth Street East in Ketchum.<\/p>\n

\u2018A Bright New Boise\u2019 \u2013 Play Reading<\/b><\/p>\n

6:30PM \/ The Liberty Theatre \/ Hailey<\/p>\n

Company of Fools will present a free reading of\u00a0\u201cA\u00a0Bright New Boise,\u201d a dark comedy by Idaho native and 2014 MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient Samuel D. Hunter. The play reading will be at\u00a06:30 p.m.\u00a0Tuesday, Nov. 15 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey and is one of several events associated with The Center\u2019s BIG IDEA multidisciplinary project,\u00a0\u201cIdaho Stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winner of the 2011 Obie Award for Playwriting, Samuel D. Hunter\u2019s\u00a0\u201cA Bright New Boise\u201d\u00a0is an unexpected story about faith, family and the importance of making human connections. In the break room of a Hobby Lobby craft store in Idaho, the seemingly innocuous Will applies for a job. No one knows that he has recently fled his rural hometown after a scandalous tragedy involving his fundamentalist church. Will doesn\u2019t particularly want to work at Hobby Lobby, but he is a man on a mission to bond with his estranged son before the impending Rapture. By enlisting the aid of his new co-workers, a group of eccentric characters struggling to find their way, Will seeks to win the trust of his son before the end of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamuel D. Hunter\u2019s work is a perfect fit for the\u00a0\u2018Idaho Stories\u2019\u00a0BIG IDEA project,\u201d said COF Artistic Director John Glenn. \u201cHunter sets many of his plays against the Idaho landscape to explore religion in society and the search for comfort from a loneliness we all feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Alburger directs a cast featuring Chris Carwithen, David Janeski, Cameron Needham, Aly Wepplo and Patsy Wygle. Admission to the reading of\u00a0\u201cA\u00a0Bright New Boise\u201d\u00a0is free with a suggested $10 donation.
