BOZEMAN DOC SERIES PRESENTS:
WHISPERS IN THE WOODS
| | |
Three generations of nature lovers set out to find the western capercaillie amid the densely wooded and visually spectacular Vosges, a French mountain range close to the German border. Award-winning wildlife photographer and filmmaker Vincent Munier joins his 12-year-old son and father, environmentalist Michel Munier, on a journey through the forest in search of the endangered bird. The film becomes a heartfelt declaration of Munier’s love for his father, his son and for wild places, intertwining familial bonds with the untamed beauty of the natural world.
Following up his acclaimed 2021 feature, The Velvet Queen, which focused on the elusive Tibetan Snow Leopard, Whispers in the Woods explores the connection between man and nature, weaving in stories passed down through generations with breathtaking footage of the animal kingdom and an immersive score by Warren Ellis.
A box office hit in France and winner of the illustrious Cesar Award for Best Documentary, the film features some of the most beautiful imagery to grace the screen in recent memory.

VERGE THEATER PRESENTS
NOAH CROW: SPRINKLER
| |
SPRINKLER is an evening of comedy and conversation about stuttering.
People say wild things, dating is harder and sometimes classmates have unkind nicknames for those who stutter. This show tackles those tough situations head-on: Noah breaks down jokes and the stories behind them, talks about why science has little or no answers as to why stuttering happens, and shows you the inside baseball version of what it means to be verbally disabled in spoken word performance art.
Award-winning stand up comedian Noah Crow, a regular at The Spokane Comedy Club and Last Best Comedy here in Bozeman, has toured all around the Northwest. He has been featured on Don’t Tell Comedy showcases and has opened for SNL’s Rich Hall, Comedy Central’s Caleb Synan, and PBS’s Eeland Stribling.
October 8, 9, 10

“The Dresser,” by Ronald Harwood and adapted by Bruce Hall, is a riveting backstage drama set in 1942 as the threat of the German Blitz hangs over Great Britain. An ill-fated production of “King Lear” takes place in a provincial British theatre.

The ReCollection

About the work
This exhibition represents a selection of the work completed during a 2025/26 sabbatical from my position teaching ceramics at the MSU School of Art. In addition to conducting research at important European centers of porcelain production, including Sèvres in France, and Meissen in Germany, I spent time engaged with building “The ReCollection”, an expansive project to recast my childhood toy collection in porcelain.
In the 1980’s, television advertising was deregulated to allow marketing directly to children, resulting in a wave of new cartoons and a ‘golden era’ of action-figures that corresponded with my upbringing. (He-Man, WWF, Star Wars and many more) I’m curious how this phenomenon affected my generation, and I have been exploring these consequences in my studio. By remaking the hyper-masculine and often violent characters in a delicate, precious material such as porcelain I want to alter and complicate the viewer’s interpretation of the subject.
Recently, the project has expanded to include remixing 18th Century decorative arts objects with action-figures resulting in a peculiar fictional souvenir. I have become particularly interested in connections to historical European traditions of porcelain figurines; how they functioned in culture and what they represented. The action-figure/figurine mashup contains several creative strategies and approaches common within contemporary visual art, including ideas of copying, appropriation, recombination and recontextualization in order to arrive at something new. This series also investigates notions of memory and nostalgia, branding, collector culture, and consumerism.

Erratic Journey
BY LEAH CUPINO

Erratic Journey
Leah Cupino
Weaver Room Gallery, and Galleria Hall Popup Gallery
Cupino’s Erratic Journey follows the unbelievable miles-long migration of boulders torn from mountainsides by glacial migration during our home planet’s transition into a new age.
In moving picture, silk, fibers, and paint, she calls us to commemorate loss, embrace greater timelines of transformation, and encourages us to celebrate the immortality of our shared spirit.
Erratic /Ə’radik/
1. noun: a rock that travels great distances over time, by glacier or other natural forces
2. adj; unpredictable
3. root Latin: errāre: to wander
In paintings and film, I join themes of displacement with transformation and remain curious about what it means to simply be a part of this earth.
The materials and color I use in my work ask us to evaluate the worn-down trails of accepted facts to a deeper evaluation of purpose. I embrace with giddiness the idea that defied expectations can be a gift to all.

Unmistakably Western

Unmistakably Western
Hazer
Lobby Gallery
Unmistakably Western is a show about larger-than-life cowgirls, all hat, boots, style, and attitude. I start with my studio photographs, then use paint to push the images even further. In select works, I incorporate my Montana street photographs into the background, placing cowboys and hippies side by side on the same piece of art. It’s unmistakably Western, but it's far from traditional.
