| An Eveningof Musical Debauchery
with
JONATHAN BURNHAM Narrowland Arts is pleased to present The Mind’s Eye at The Schoolhouse Center. This summer’s residency at the Schoolhouse Center takes its form as a concentric curatorial, an episodic salon in which a group of seven participants have been invited not to perform but to invite. Each resident is asked to turn outward and enact his or her own contribution by choosing another artist to come and make an event in Provincetown. In this way a series of readings, concerts, talks, exhibitions, and other happenings will proliferate, each contextualized by the interests of the instigating participant, but realized in the performance of the guest. In practice, then, the season’s visiting artist is not an individual, but a kaleidoscopic figure shaped by elastic accidents and long-standing
appreciations, the interconnections that generate what’s known as inspiration.”
On Thursday, August 2 at 8 p.m. HENNY GARFUNKEL will present an
evening of esoteric cabaret with JONATHAN BURNHAM.
Born in eastern Europe and raised in nearby Providence, frequent Provincetown visitor Henny Garfunkel has become an accomplished observer of the curious and the fabulous. Honing her photographic skills in the streets and salons of Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, Ms. Garfunkel is sought after for her un-jaundiced portraits of
celebrities, and collected for her unique take on the unusual in the everyday.
Based in lower Manhhattan and commissioned by magazines such as In Style, Elle, Premier, Entertainment Weekly and Paper, to document the International Film Festivals - Cannes, Toronto, Sundance - she returns with images that connect the viewer to her subject through a singular photographic vision and personal empathy with the otherwise inaccessible icons of modern cinema and pop culture. In her many travels Ms. Garfunkel has photographed the faces and foibles of the world’s unsung inhabitants with a sense of humor, and an eye for beauty and the outrageous.
For this evening piano impresario JONATHAN BURNHAM will invite
audience members and other performers to re-create one of those fabulous moments where the romance of film, the headiness of travel, spontaneous cabaret, and a little too much liquor, might all tumble together with your suntan and secret pleasures for an unforgettable night on the town.
