Stage West - Copenhagen
In 1941, a meeting took place between Niels Bohr and Werner
Heisenberg, close friends and colleagues who had revolutionized
atomic physics in the 1920s. It was a short meeting, and it
ended their friendship. What happened between the two? This
is the question at the heart of Michael Frayn’s brilliant
Copenhagen, beginning a run at Fort Worth’s Stage West on
Thursday, February 18. By the time of their meeting, Heisenberg
was working for Nazi Germany. Denmark, Bohr’s homeland, was
Nazi-occupied, and Bohr was assumed to be under their surveillance.

O'Toole Gallery
It was the recent advice of David Conn, artist
and art professor at TCU, that sparked a creative flurry of new
work by Ft. Worth artist, Ken O'Toole. Conn juried one of
O'Toole's digital collages, A Word of Balance, into the Rio Brazos
exhibition last year, and suggested O'Toole use an airbrush to

painters. The influence on his work by favorites, Jackson Pollock,
Norman Lewis, and Paul Jenkins are undeniable. These new works
will be on display at an upcoming event to be held at Park Plaza
in Fort Worth. Stay tuned for the announcement.

Susan Rothenberg. The exhibition is organized by the
Museum's Chief Curator, Michael Auping, who has known
the artist for over three decades. He and Rothenberg have
identified a select group of paintings-from the early horse
paintings of the mid-1970s, to her most recent body of work,
which explores a number of central motifs that have occurred
throughout her 35-year career. Auping comments, "Rather than

beginning of a symbolic, figurative evolution...
