Brimming
A performance art piece featuring the visual art of Brian Rutenberg, a South Carolinian who currently lives and works in New York City. A graduate of the College of Charleston, South Carolina, Brian Rutenberg participated in his first group exhibition in 1985 and moved to New York shortly thereafter. He received a Master of Arts degree from New York’s acclaimed School of Visual Arts. Brian Rutenberg’s paintings are in major public and corporate collections including the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT; Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC; Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn Harbor, NY; Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock, AR; Dow Jones & Co., New York, NY; and Comcast Corporation, Philadelphia, PA among many others.
Kwame Dawes, distinguished Poet in Residence, Louis Frye Scudder Professor of Liberal Arts and Founder and executive Director of the South Carolina Poetry Initiative, and is the director of the University of South Carolina Arts Institute, wrote poem inspired by these vivid and textural works.
The ensemble includes a cast of poets, a cellist (me), singer, and an interpretive dancer, who through collaboration uncovers the complements between each art form.

Brimming makes use dance, song, and the spoken word to transport viewers into the landscape, history and culture of South Carolina 's low-country. This is a delicate sound poem, a splendid marriage of the arts to create something whole and elegant.
