Woven Currents Coming to the Prattsville Arts Center

PRATTSVILLE - There are multiplicitous creative sides to Judd Weisberg, two of which will be on display at the opening of “Woven Currents,” this weekend (April 27) at the Prattsville Arts Center.

The show “explores the swirling currents and musical pitches of

Northern Catskill mountain streams,” the Center website states.

This is being done through a multi-media collaboration involving Weisberg and pianist Yi-heng Yang, inter-weaving their talents.

And the exhibit reaches into the fabric of the community and beyond. “We are very fortunate to have a partnership between a small town and these artists,” Arts Center director Nancy Barton says.

“Woven Currents,” running through the end of May, is sponsored through a grant program by CREATE Council on the Arts and the town of Prattsville.

Weisberg, a resident of the town of Lexington, is a well-known fly-fisherman  and teacher, perhaps lesser known for his artistic adventures.

Yi-heng Yang was inspired to respond in her playing to drawings created by Weisberg and will perform a group of composed and improvised music on harpsichord, putting those feelings to melody.

Their expressions are melded for “Woven Currents” with a deja’ vu in late June at the Doctorow Center in the town of Hunter.

“Judd is a frequent visitor to our Center. He started sharing his drawings with us and one thing led to another,” Barton says.

“The result is this retrospective on his works and the amazing appearance by Yi-heng Yang.” The opening goes from 2 to 5 p.m. with the concert happening at 3 p.m. There is no charge for admission.
