Spotlight: Jane Franklin Dance’s ‘Sense of Place Rhythm and Sound’
Michael Spears — Visual Music: Rhythm and Melody, an exhibition featuring abstract works that the local Black artist created with the intent of evoking a sense of the music that largely inspired them — whether that be the jazz reflected in “Kind of Black,” a recent work that also incorporates his reflections on the Black Lives Matter movement, or the R&B of an earlier series of works titled “The Influence of Religion in Rhythm and Blues of the ’60s and ’70s.”Next weekend, the Athenaeum’s exhibition of Spears’ mixed-media works will be further complemented by a virtual program of choreographed movement from Jane Franklin Dance.
