SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Wolf & The Midnight Travelers
DESCRIPTION:Special offer! A digital download of Peter Wolf’s forthcoming album\, A Cure For Loneliness (available April 8)\, is included with every ticket you order for this show. To take advantage of this offer\, please be sure to enter your email address when ordering tickets.\n\nPeter Wolf was the longtime lead singer of rock's J. Geils Band\, and he had a hand as writer in many of their hit songs (although not \"Centerfold\"). His charismatic stage presence was integral to that band's success\, which crossed geographic and racial lines. Peter went on to a great solo career that has included such radio-friendly hits as \"Come As You Are\" as well as deeper album tracks that showed his passion for classic soul and R&B. Now\,Peter continues his musical journey with \"A Cure for Loneliness\,\" his eighth solo release. The 12-song album ranks with the artist's most adventurous and accomplished work\, showcasing his irrepressible charisma while encompassing his effortless affinity for country\, blues\, R&B and rock 'n' roll. \"A Cure for Loneliness\" includes nine new Wolf originals\, four of them co-written with Grammy/Academy Award-winning songwriter Will Jennings.  The material ranges from the loose-limbed gospel boogie of \"How Do You\" to the rousing rock of \"Wasting Time\" to the acoustic reverie of \"Some Other Time\, Some Other Place\" to the swinging big-band swagger of \"Mr. Mistake\" to the introspective balladry of \"Peace of Mind\" and \"Fun For A While\"—plus an audacious bluegrass reworking of the classic J. Geils anthem \"Love Stinks\,\" and the stirring soul ballad \"It's Raining\,\" which Wolf co-wrote with R&B pioneer Don Covay. \"I see this album as a continuation of a body of work that I've been creating for a long\, long time\,\" Peter says. \"Each album is a challenge and every one of them has been a learning experience. I think that they've become more personal and revealing as I've continued. I still feel the way I felt when I started out decades ago\, I'm just trying to prevail and continue to grow as an artist … and to keep rolling on with music as a cure for loneliness.\" The Ark is proud to present a legend of rock music\, up close and personal\, for two intimate evenings with his band The Midnight Travelers.
