After Hours
November 13, 2009
9:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m.
The museum closes at 9:00 every Friday. OR DOES IT? The Cleveland Museum of Art celebrates the Cleveland Institute of Art exhibition CIA Students: Cleveland, 2009, at CMA with a very special after-hours event on Friday, November 13, featuring art, refreshments, a cash bar, and live performances by Marina Rosenfeld's Sheer Frost Orchestra and Eats Tapes. Tickets $10.
Sheer Frost Orchestra
The CIA student exhibition, featuring ten pieces created just for this occasion, is inspired by the show staged 120 years ago by Paul Gauguin and other anti-establishment artists at Monsieur Volpini's Café des Arts in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, which had just been constructed for that year's Paris Exposition Universelle. Just as Gauguin showed the world a glimpse of the emerging artists of his day, the CIA café exhibition at the museum offers a look at what some of today's artists are up to.

Marina Rosenfeld’s Sheer Frost Orchestra
At 9:30, in the same space off the museum's north lobby where the student exhibition is installed, Marina Rosenfeld’s Sheer Frost Orchestra is a musical event realized by 17 performers (mostly women) using floor-bound electric guitars and repurposing nail-polish bottles as sensitive and magical sound-producing implements.
Rosenfeld is a composer and artist based in New York City. Her work has deployed both musical and visual media, including a noted series of performance works, multichannel sound installation, video, photography, and hybrid forms drawing on these. Rosenfeld’s other large scale works have been presented at Deitch Projects (New York), Tate Modern (London), Wien Modern (Vienna), Taktlos (Bern), and elsewhere. She is a featured artist at PERFORMA 09, the third biennial of new visual art performance, in NYC this November.

Eats Tapes
Then, at about 11:30, the very danceable San Francisco- based electro-squiggle duo Eats Tapes (Marijke Jorritsma and Gregory Zifcak) performs in the KeyBank lobby just outside the entrance to Paul Gauguin: Paris, 1889 (admission to which is included in the ticket price).
