Chris Jordan: Running the Numbers

The second annual Art/Act Exhibition
September 13, 2010 - January 7, 2011

In Chris Jordan's series Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait, begun in 2005, Jordan envisions staggering statistics of American consumption. Two million bottles are depicted in a larger-than-human-scale digital photograph entitled Plastic Bottles, 2007, literally representing the number of plastic beverage bottles used in the United States every five minutes. In Oil Barrels, 2008, 28,000 barrels are presented in a mandala-like formation of concentric circles, recalling the volume of oil burned in the United States every two minutes.

You're Invited to the Berkeley Symphony on December 2nd


On behalf of the Berkeley Symphony, the Downtown Berkeley Association, Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, and the Emeryville Chamber of Commerce, please accept our invitation for two complimentary tickets to Berkeley Symphony's "Musica de Amor" concert, December 2nd, at Zellerbach Hall.  A pre-concert networking reception with wine and hor d'oeuvres begins at 7 pm.  You are also invited to stay after the performance to attend a subscriber-only reception, hosted by Music Director Joana Carneiro and Berkeley Symphony musicians.


Founded more than 40 years ago, Berkeley Symphony is the locally-based symphony with an international reputation for innovative programming of the highest quality.  The 12/2 concert will be no exception, featuring the first commission of Joana Carneiro's tenure! Come hear the world premiere of Private Alleles by 36-year-old Mexican composer Enrico Chapela. Resident artist mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway joins the Berkeley Symphony in an unforgettable rendition of Peter Lieberson's Neruda Songs, written for his late wife and renowned vocalist Lorraine Hunt Lieberson. Carneiro and Calloway round out the program with Manuel de Falla's beloved El Amor Brujo, a musical story of love, jealousy, and magic. For more information, please visit www.berkeleysymphony.org
