GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — In his exhibit titled "Slow Dancing," John Musall, long-time faculty in design for theater, will exhibit paintings of dancers at Bard College at Simon's Rock.
John Musall, faculty in design for theater at Simon's Rock, will exhibit a collection of paintings of dancers entitled "Slow Dancing" in the Hillman Jackson Gallery at the Daniel Arts Center on campus. This exhibit opened November 30, 2023, and will run through January 22, 2024.
This exhibit is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 8 p.m., Saturdays, 12:00 - 8 p.m., and Sundays, 2:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Artist John Musall began painting dancers and choreographers thirty five years ago while working with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in New York. In his work as a lighting designer, he became fascinated by dancers moving in colored stage lighting and began a series that he's continued to this day. In his artist's statement, Musall said "Because dancers are concerned with the shapes their bodies can make through choreographic time while striving for controlled perfection, I was compelled to do my best to be exact in my representations, in hopes of honoring dancers commitment to their art."
