Cult of Color: Call to Color - Notes on a Collaboration
Where: Arthouse at the Jones Center

Arthouse at the Jones Center proudly presents Cult of Color: Call to Color - Notes on a Collaboration, March 22 – April 27, 2008. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Cult of Color: Call to Color a new ballet commissioned by Ballet Austin and created by visual artist Trenton Doyle Hancock, choreographer Stephen Mills and composer Graham Reynolds. Ballet performances will be held at the AustinVentures StudioTheater at Ballet Austin, 501 West 3rd Street, April 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, with matinees April 6, 12 and 13, 2008. The exhibition traces various aspects of this original, cross-disciplinary collaboration among three Texas-based artists – Trenton Doyle Hancock, Houston; Graham Reynolds and Stephen Mills, Austin. Within the Arthouse gallery walls the artists’ inspirations will reveal themselves, and the form and structure of the work, its very essential nature, will be exposed. Additionally, the exhibition will explore the complexity of translating an artist’s visual world into a compelling, innovative performance including original music and dance. The exhibition will present four environmental installations derived from ballet scenes: the Forest, the Cave, the Miracle Machine and the Battle. The galleries will include Hancock’s paintings, notes, drawings, and formal and informal sketches that inform the design and concept of the production, as well as artworks that inspired the backdrop curtains, stage props, and costumes. Hancock will also create site-specific installation elements at Arthouse. Reynolds’ entire score will be available and his sound elements will texture the artistic spaces. Mills’ working process will be represented digitally via computers as well as through video collage.
The Kills

The Kills consist of VV and Hotel. These two have been making music since 2002 and doing a lot of home recordings where they live in the UK. With a serious knack for doing great raw recordings, narcotic and saccharine - the drums alone will pull you in. The strong female presence evokes comparison to Chrissie Hynde and Patti Smith, while the male vocals charm those that know the sounds of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground.
