The Contemporary Museum



Bite into art

It's said that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," and New York artist Thomas Woodruff presents a colorful reminder with his "Apple Canon" on view at The Contemporary Museum.

The work comprises 365 "portraits" of apples on 9-by-8-inch canvases, shown whole, sliced, bitten, carved, stacked, impaled with toothpicks or invaded by worms.

In music, a canon is is a composition in which the melody is repeated by voices of different pitches, overlapping and harmonizing, elaborating a theme. For Woodruff, the apples also served as talismans meant to ward off illness, including AIDS.

The show continues at the museum, 2411 Makiki Heights Drive, through March 26. Also on view are "Seeing is Believing," works by Vik Muniz, and "Disturbing Desire: Video Works by Ximena Cuervas, Diane Nerwen and Shelly Silver."

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Call 523-3447.

Jazz man's back

George Benson returns to Maui to perform one concert beginning 7:30 p.m. March 4, at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center Castle Theater.

Tickets -- $25, $30 and $35 -- go on sale Saturday at the center box office, Safeway ETM machines statewide, or ball calling MACC at 242-SHOW (7469).

The jazz guitarist came to fame in the late ''60s, sitting in on Miles Davis recording sessions and on tunes from the Beatles' "Abbey Road."

Benson's 1976 "Breezin', " was the first jazz record to attain platinum sales, and his soulful update of Leon Russell's "This Masquerade," was a crossover pop hit. He followed it with a sultry version of "On Broadway" and "Give Me the Night." His latest disc is "Standing Together."

Also performing will be Joe Cano and Henry Kaleialoha Allen.

Also, you get champagne, chocolates, deserts and gourmet coffees.

Sounds wild.
