EVENT INFO
The Phoenix is proud to announce its upcoming solo exhibit featuring work by the internationally acclaimed artist Trystan Bates. Our show preview with framed prints will be the perfect opportunity to grab an exclusive numbered print from the show that will open on September 8th. At the print sale event, which will feature music in our alley put on by The Phoenix’s musical partner org TURNmusic (Mal Maiz), we will hold a raffle to benefit flood relief. The winner will be announced at the opening reception on Friday, Sept. 8th, 5-9pm.

ARTIST BIO
Trystan Bates is a graduate of Parsons University and the Gerrit Rietveld Acadamie in Amsterdam NL. Following his education, Trystan worked for several years in New York City as an Editorial Illustrator before accepting a position at Felissimo Design House and Museum in NY where he was the Curator and General Manager of the four floor exhibition space. In the early 2000's Trystan relocated to Buenos Aires where he focused on the development of his studio practice. His work was included in numerous publications, crossover collaborations with large companies such as Coca Cola, Adidas and streetwear brand PURO and in international exhibitions throughout South America, the United States, Australia and Europe.

While in Buenos Aires Trystan worked towards building opportunities for local artists and the creative community who were struggling to recover following a national economic collapse. Through these efforts he founded a large artist collective called Honeycomb Arts. Honeycomb became a local incubator for creativity and enabled him to manage and grow the careers of highly talented artists, build cultural bridges between Latin America, Europe and the US and create accessible programming for the local community.

In 2008 Trystan opened Honeycomb Showroom in Buenos Aires where he curated and presented exhibitions of highly acclaimed young artists hailing from Argentina and Latin America. He built a residency program that took groups of artists into rural locations, such as the comarca of Guna Yala to learn from ancient and indigenous culture. He also built residencies that would bring American artists to Buenos Aires to collaborate with local creators and present their work for the first time in Latin America.

In 2013 Honeycomb expanded into Honeycomb Gallery. With increased space came increased potential and the ability to expand his artist stable to include more artists from abroad. The space allowed Trystan to connect people from across the world and encourage creative bonds while also programming more activities, artist lectures, studio visits, workshops and collaborations in which the local community could become directly involved with the artists whom were showcased.

In 2018 Trystan returned to the United States and settled in Vermont. He has over the past few years been focused on continuing to develop his studio practice. He is busy creating work for upcoming exhibitions, acting as collections manager at the Londonderry Arts and Historic Society and running Double Vision Editions, A small bespoke art publishing / printing company that works with artists to print exciting and accessible collections.

Trystan currently lives and works in Southern Vermont.

In this pair of concerts, I'll be focusing on two prolific musical communities, New York City and Burlington, Vermont, and the music of two groups of jazz composers.

Through the music of both concerts, I'll be asking one question: Is it possible to hear the sound of community in a piece of music attributed to one or two composers? In the first concert, I'll focus on the group I call the 'Three-Plus Musketeers Collective', a group originating in the mid-1940s which includes the well-known Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell and their lesser-known friend Elmo Hope (sometimes called 'The Three Musketeers' for their close association); Mary Lou Williams, who had a strong influence on Monk and Powell as a teacher, a guide and a fellow musician; and Bertha Hope, Elmo Hope's former wife and a pianist and composer still active today. In the second concert, I'll play the music of composers from the Vermont jazz scene including Ellen Powell, Patricia Julien, the Mad River Valley's own James Harvey and Bruce Sklar, and some of my own compositions.

These concerts will be performed on TURNmusic’s own 1929 Steinway Model M piano that begins its residency at The Phoenix Gallery and Music Hall. This piano has been graciously loaned by Anne Decker and Tim Buckingham of Waterbury, Vermont.
