舞台導演凱莉·凱恩斯（Kelly Kitchens）的作品O + E，由全女性的創作團隊和歌手陣容打造。 在奧菲斯和歐莉迪絲的經典神話中，以及他們愛與得失的故事中，O是一位藝術家，常在床邊守候著他當士兵的妻子E。 而A，在神話中被描繪為女神，是掌握命運的外科醫生。傳奇的故事被凱恩斯改編為悲劇：在這個失戀，哀嘆和重生的愛情故事中，藝術家O守候在醫院的床邊，陪伴著他受重傷的妻子，靜靜地等待著一個夢一般的奇蹟發生。 O經歷了一場痛苦的考驗，面臨要與他
心愛的妻子永遠分離的切膚之痛。經過一翻在痛苦邊緣的爭扎後，A這名掌握命運的外科醫生把O+E的希望帶了回來。 歌劇以英語進行，演出時間大約為80分鐘，中間沒有間歇。

時間：10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
地點：西雅圖美術館
詳情：http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Exhibitions/Details?EventId=59599
這在1982年由Jean-Michel Basquiat創作的作品首次在西海岸展示。 Basquiat具有表現力和個人獨特風格，他的作品讓我們有機會了解Basquiat和當時只有21歲的著名藝術人物Andy Warhol，透過作品知道更多他們兩人之間的友誼。 Basquiat的作品主要演譯過去和現在的美國黑人文化。在風格上，他具有高質素的手繪技巧，讓人聯想起剪貼簿作品和塗鴉，結合了圖像和文字。他見證了藝術家製作的過程，修改和刪除仍然是每個完成品的重要元素。 Basquiat表達了繪畫的流動性和多元化。
Basquiat—Untitled
When: Until August 13
Time: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Where: Seattle Art Museum
Info: http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Exhibitions/Details?EventId=59599
This 1982 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat is on view for the first time on the West Coast. A grand example of Basquiat’s expressive and charged style, the loan of this painting gives us the opportunity to consider the friendship between Basquiat, who was 21 years old when he painted it, and Andy Warhol, one of the pivotal figures of pop art.
Basquiat’s work centers on Black culture in America, past and present. Stylistically, his paintings have a gestural quality reminiscent of scrapbook entries and graffiti, often combining image and text. They are witness to the artist’s process, with revisions, redactions, and erasures remaining vital elements in each finished work. Basquiat expresses this sense of flux and change in this electric painting. It is an image in a constant state of becoming. The dramatically rendered skull is fiercely alive—talking, singing, or screaming. Asked about his work in a 1983 conversation with Henry Geldzahler for Interview Magazine (published by Andy Warhol), Basquiat noted that his subjects are “royalty, heroism and the street.”

Holi 2018
When: May 25
Time: 4 p.m.
Where: Rainier Vista
Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1931785590465577/?active_tab=about
This event is open to everyone, but we will have limited powder availability, so first come first serve! Bags of powder are free; however, we will limit each person to only one. Water balloons will be made available to purchase for $1 each, payable by cash or Venmo. Keep an eye out for limited edition Holi shirts from ISA UW. Buying a shirt will guarantee that you get a bag of powder for the event! Popularly known as the “Festival of Colors,” Holi originates from Hindu mythology and is a celebration of the defeat of the evil demon, Holika. To celebrate this occasion, people all over the world throw colored powder at each other to represent protection from evil. The different colors also signify unity amongst all individuals and the deconstruction of boundaries. Today, Holi is observed at many college campuses across the country, and SASA, ISA, and ASC are so excited to bring it to the UW yet again! ATTIRE: As traditionally worn throughout South Asia, we would encourage you all to wear WHITE clothing that you won’t mind getting dirty, as the colored powder sticks onto clothing pretty well. Holi powder will also show up best on white, especially in photos. These recommendations also apply to shoes, so please consider wearing flip-flops, crocs, or sandals, instead of sneakers or running shoes!
