Da Vinci – Inventions

Investigate a series of interactive, life-size machines crafted from the codices of Leonardo da Vinci that brings to life his work as an inventor, artist, scientist and engineer.

Who was Leonardo da Vinci? Some say an artist or philosopher. Yet, others note his brilliance as an inventor and engineer.
 

The truth is, all of these answers are correct. Leonardo da Vinci was the ultimate Renaissance man, and his famous codices contained intricate details regarding inventions that were astonishingly ahead of his time.

Created with the assistance of the Museo Leonardo da Vinci – Rome, Italy, and a number of experts in Italy and France, Da Vinci – Inventions presented by Bank of America celebrates one of the most revered and dynamic minds of all time: Leonardo da Vinci. The exhibition features 16 compelling themed areas of da Vinci’s work, offering you an unmatched look inside the mind of a man who laid the groundwork for some of modern society’s most impactful inventions such as the helicopter, airplane, automobile, submarine, parachute and bicycle.

All of the inventions brought to life for Da Vinci – Inventions were crafted by Italian artisans, many using the same techniques and materials from the Renaissance period. Scouring more than 6,000 pages from da Vinci’s personal codices (notebooks), the artisans deciphered hidden clues, intentional mistakes and mirror-image writing that da Vinci employed to keep his works top secret. Then, they faithfully crafted interactive and life-size replicas of these machine inventions. These works include the first concepts of a car, bicycle, helicopter, glider, parachute, SCUBA, submarine, a forerunner to the modern military tank, and an ideal city, to name a few.

Suitable for all ages, this amazing exhibition provides a fascinating insight into not only the mind of a genius, but also into the fundamental scientific and artistic principles that he discovered. Da Vinci – Inventions is an inspiration for the whole family. 

Highlights of the exhibition include:

• Large-scale, interactive machine inventions brought to life for the first time by modern-day artisans in Italy.
• Representations of Leonardo’s famous renaissance art, including “Virgin of the Rocks,” “The Annunciation” and the controversial “La Bella Principessa.”
• Animations telling the story behind the “Vitruvian Man,” “The Last Supper” and the Sforza horse sculpture.
• Touch-screen versions of da Vinci’s actual codices

Da Vinci – Inventions will be on view from Saturday, June 9, 2018 through Sunday, December 9, 2018 on Levels 2 and 3 in the museum’s West Wing. Admission to Da Vinci – Inventions is included in all museum admission tickets.

Da Vinci – Inventions is presented locally by Bank of America. The exhibition was developed by Grande Exhibitions, under the kind auspices of the Commune di Roma, Commune di Firenze and Citta Di Venezia.

“The music here can compete against any kind of dance music being made right now, and succeed.” – Pitchfork

With albums recently released on Diplo’s Mad Decent record label and years collaborating with artists such as Björk, Four Tet, Modeselektor, and Giles Peterson; Omar Souleyman has become one of the world’s most sought after electronic music artists. Who could’ve foreseen that a wedding singer from Syria with hundreds of albums under his belt would become a cult hero among club connoisseurs? But there is an undeniable bond between the legacy Omar delves in – a synthesized version of the Levantine dance music Dabke – and modern electronic dance music. When so much in this day and age can seem in utter chaos, there’s comfort to be found in how the Syrian sings about the great theme of love. This is, after all, dance music’s virtue: The ability to dissolve us in time and space, building bridges where walls previously were to be found. Omar has bolstered his growing status after touring world-wide and performing at major festivals including Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Pitchfork Paris, Moogfest, and Roskilde.

“Alice Coltrane is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, with a sublime musical vision that encompasses jazz, blues, gospel, Indian classical, North African music, and European modernism” – The Quietus

Alice Coltrane was a legendary jazz musician, composer, and the wife of John Coltrane, the most venerated and influential saxophonist in the history of jazz. In 1967, John died, leaving Alice a widow with four small children. Bereft of her soul mate Alice turned to Indian spirituality, eventually opening the Shanti Anantam Ashram. By then she had recorded more than a dozen records and was acclaimed for her work as a musician, composer, and bandleader.

Music was the foundation of Alice’s spiritual practice and during this time she released music inspired by jazz, the gospel music of the Detroit churches she grew up in, mixed with the Indian devotional music of her religious practice. Originally only made available through her ashram, these recordings were her most obscure body of work until the music was released widely to the public last year by David Byrne’s Luaka Bop record label on the compilation entitled The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane. For this special concert The Sai Anantam Singers, the musicians who were performers on the original recordings joined by Michelle Coltrane, Alice’s daughter, will guide an intoxicating journey through Alice Coltrane’s devotional music led by Surya Botofasina, who grew up on the ashram.

Israel at 70
New World Center
Saturday, October 27 at 8:00 PM

Seventy years after the establishment of the State of Israel, New World Symphony Artistic Director Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) leads a celebratory one-night-only event honoring the Jewish heritage of Mahler and Mendelssohn, contemporary pioneer Avner Dorman, and that of his own family, The Thomashefskys.

In a special treat, the evening starts with a circus-like overture from The Thomashefskys, MTT’s homage to his grandparents and Yiddish Theater royalty, Boris and Bessie. Named after a popular Israeli dish, Avner Dorman’s ode to Jerusalem reflects a bustling and deeply religious city in a quintet for winds and piano.

Regarded by many as the finest concerto written for any instrument, Felix Mendelssohn’s romantic Violin Concerto is a masterpiece, sure to be a showstopper in the hands of award-winning Israeli violinist Itamar Zorman.

Mahler’s symphonies are one of MTT’s specialties – he has won six of his twelve GRAMMY® Awards for his interpretations of these symphonic works – and he led a performance of the First Symphony in Tel Aviv during NWS’s 1995 tour. They revisit the Titan’s first movement in what is MTT’s only Mahler offering this season—don’t miss it!
