MUSIC FROM TIPPET RISE ART CENTER
Tippet Rise Art Center, set on a 12,000-acre working ranch at the foot of Montana’s Beartooth Mountains, celebrates the concept that art, music, architecture, and nature are inextricably linked in the human experience. This special Cocktails performance includes excerpts from Tippet Rise’s 2019 program, to be performed by some of the same musicians, in celebration of Ensamble Studio’s large-scale, site-specific outdoor installation titled Petrified River (on view in the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden as part of Nature—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial). The work is comprised of a 40-foot-long concrete “river” bookended by a “lake” and “mountain” that represent the transformation process of Manhattan from wild nature to an urbanized flattened landscape, and is a petrified metaphor for the rich landscape that was once Mannahatta or “island of many hills.” Petrified River is supported by the Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation, and will be showcased at Tippet Rise during a future season.
