Appetite for Risk: Works by Emilio Stanzani
Through July 1Visual Arts
They say you are either remembered or forgotten after death. But Emilio Stanzani falls somewhere between those lines. A renowned Swiss sculptor and artist (1906-1977), his abstract works continue to circulate the globe, yet little seems to surface about Stanzani himself (try a quick Google search and you'll see what I mean). That makes the new exhibit of his works, Appetite for Risk: Works by Emilio Stanzani, at Bechtler Museum of Modern Art all the more curious. Though small, the exhibit only contains 12 works created by Stanzani between 1956 and 1968, it provides insight into the styles of his works, which vary from abstract drawings, sketches and paintings that are polychromatic and shape shifting, to more representational sculptures of wood, stone and bronze. While you're there, be sure to check out the museum's main exhibit, Artistic Relationships: Partners, Mentors and Lovers, as well as other collections of mid-20th century artwork by big name artists. $4-$8 (free for members and children ages 10 and under)
Artistic Relationships: Partners, Mentors, Lovers
Through July 29Visual Arts
It's not an exaggeration to say that love is in the air at Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. The museum's latest exhibit showcases more than 50 pieces by some of modern art's most renowned figures including Joan Miró and Alexander Calder. Artistic Relationships digs deep to expose the ways these artists were connected to one another through shared passions and more personal circumstances. Many of them shared friendships, love affairs (ooh la-la!) and teacher/student relationships. Think of this as the closest you're ever going to get to a Midnight in Paris-type experience. $4-$8

It couldn’t be a more appropriate time to say “giddyap,” because Broadway’s War Horse is galloping through Belk Theater on a six-day run, slated for eight performances. It’s based around Michael Morpurgo’s children’s book of the same name, about a boy who embarks on a quest to bring his beloved horse back from the horrific front lines of war. But what you won’t find in those pages is the stamina that this musical carries as it comes to life with life-sized puppet horses, operated by humans who’ve mastered both navigation and neighing.
