Brush Coat Cover, juried by contemporary art dealer Cade Tompkins, is the fourth biennial at Wheaton. The 2019 exhibition focuses on work that challenges, explores, and celebrates the definition and history of painting, collectively evoking an open-ended conversation on the medium.
William Hite is well known for his interpretation of Schubert’s magnificent song cycle Winterreise. Written in 1827, the year before Schubert’s death, this work is regarded as one of the most important vocal pieces of the Romantic Era. Hite’s visiting artist residence provides a special opportunity to hear the entire work in the remarkable Cole Memorial Chapel, a beautiful acoustic space that creates a connection between performer and audience.
