"ICheers!had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."

Some of our new readers might not know, that the same fabulous gold coast mansions and parties that inspired The Great Gatsby, were also the original inspiration for 25A Magazine. The original Metropolitan Magazine, published from the 1800s to the mid-1920s featured Fitzgerald as a literary contributor, and before him, Teddy Roosevelt acted as the editor of Metropolitan Magazine too, during WW1. Politics, art, and fashion were all written about with the type of flair, integrity, and intelligence that we try to honor today with the current version of Metropolitan. As we look to doing some big things with the magazines in the future, let us not forget our past as we try to make the most of the present.

The end of the summer typically brings with it reflections of time spent with family and friends, travel adventures and carefree fun, with an eye toward the opportunities and new beginnings of Autumn. I'm particularly excited about a new state-of-the-art Med Spa in Palm Beach I am involved with (Advanced Aesthetics) that will provide regenerative stem-cell therapy for aesthetic solutions.

NOTEPUBLISHER’S

—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

This summer was marked by a renewed fervor to get out and about while supporting charitable causes, or just to, once again, enjoy the pleasure of the company of others. Simple things. A sense of normalcy. From New York City to the Hamptons, to Palm Beach and back, smiles and laughter returned to the art galleries and eateries, avenues and beaches, marinas, and front lawns. The sound of music and glasses toasting to the resilience and courage we found in ourselves and those around us. Our hard-working magazine staff hit the beaches, the bars, the galleries, and galas...and a good time was had by all.

As Fitzgerald wrote in The Great Gatsby, life was beginning over again with the summer.

NOTEEDITOR’S

It's been a busy summer. The Hamptons has been a hotbed of art activity with copies of Metropolitan and 25A magazines getting scooped up quickly by loyal readers and curious newcomers.

- F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

16 25A Magazine | metmagny.com 25A

Just some of the artists we are delighted to include in this issue are old friends William Quigley, Max Moran, Luciana Pampalone, and sculptresses Carol Eisner and Linda Heller.

While publisher Chase Backer continues on with his unmatched entrepreneurial vision, opening up a state of the art Med Spa (Advanced Aesthetics) in Palm Beach, Metropolitan Art expert Rachel Vancelette has been jetting all over the world to cover the very latest in the art market. At the same time, longtime Hampton's art and society contributor Debra Rothberg has been spreading the good word and rubbing elbows all over the Hamptons with her artist hubby George Shulman.

Music, fashion, art, beauty, big ideas and big announcements coming this fall on the expansion of the Metropolitan brand...a hot time in the city... to quote Jim Morrison and the Doors:

"Summer is only the unfulfilled promise of spring, a charlatan in place of the warm balmy nights"

Cheers!

Metropolitan

Speaking of old friends, Jerry Garcia who would have been 80 years old on August 1st, was an old friend of author and longtime Grateful Dead Publicist Dennis McNally. Music writer Eric Jaacobi caught up with Dennis recently to find out what he's been up to. My old friend, Ahron Friedberg, MD shares his thoughts on finding joy in the workplace in his must-read new book, "Towards Happiness."

Today, as an emblem of Tiffany & Co. and a figure who changed the world of jewelry, altering the possibilities of what can be designed from nature’s sight and transformed into emblazoning pieces, Schlumberger’s extraordinary wonders have continued.

El Turco East Hampton is the result of a casual meeting between one of El Turco’s founders and Frank Cilione, the longtime operator of the dual restaurant and nightlife venue on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton. Soon thereafter, Mr. Cilione hired the original El Turco founders Nurdan Gur Yuzbasioglu, Gokhan Yuzbasioglu along with developer and visionary Cagri Kanver to assist in realizing their collective vision.

high-quality meats, fine imported spices, and local seasonal ingredients, each dish on the menu is based on classic Turkish recipes, reimagined by the culinary team lead by Mr. Yuzbasioglu and talented Executive Chef Guney. Many dishes originate from the Aegean and Anatolian part of Turkey, as well as special selections from the Mediterranean and South-Eastern region.

With a “click” on Amazon, all colored sea salts can arrive in your kitchen; and as a woman who prefers to eat at home and lives by the mantra, “There’s very little in life which a righteous steak dinner cannot fix,” I am grateful that steak, and salt, may be salubriously savored.

Similarly, our earth’s savory spice of life abounds in myriad forms. Exotic game meats - ostrich, elk, kangaroo, caribou, and more - are grassfed, lean, and packed with ambrosial and intoxicating flavor.

Jade Green Bamboo Sea Salt delivers antiinflammatory properties, and anti-allergen properties and is rumored to possess cancer preventative elements too, making its coarse rocks a healthful and colorful addition to entertaining.

Black, Gray and Red Sea Salts hold trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, and potassium) instead of straight sodium. As a result, blood pressure and swelling go down, taste heightens and a pop of color illuminates quite stunningly on our plates! Activated charcoal in the black salts and clay in the red, lend to our systems expelling toxins easier.

These choices of meat are ideal for RAW zealots, (like me), who prefer Carpaccio or Steak Tartare to anything so much as even

Lessing's expanded their portfolio to Florida with the Pelican Club, Crane Club at Tesoro, Charlie & Joe's at Love Street, and most recently the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

No matter the state or venue, Lessing’s Hospitality Group always strives to make sure that every employee and guest feels like family.

The Lessing family has provided food service to New Yorkers for over 130 years without interruption. Both the longevity and the success of this legacy company are unprecedented. For Michael, upholding and building upon the family legacy is a serious business that requires an extreme attention to team building and corporate culture.

INTERVIEW WITH

"My family and I spend a lot of time in Florida, so the connection was already there,” Lessing says. “We noticed many people visiting from New York and realized our name is well known in the area. Pelican Club and the four restaurants at Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street in Jupiter all overlook a historic lighthouse. I don’t think there’s a better view in all of Florida.”

"Our mission is to continue the 130-year tradition of innovation and excellence, providing unique restaurant concepts, exclusive wedding venues, distinctive catering, and skillfully executed management," offers a friendly-but obviously quite busy-- Michael Lessing, President of Lessing's Hospitality Group.

"We've always focused on being a family business, says Lessing, "and we've built a culture that ensures you don’t have to have the last name ‘Lessing’ to be a part of the family.”

he hospitality conglomerate was founded by Maxwell Lessing in 1890 and is operated to this day by 15 Lessing family members. “The company has been going strong for six generations with most recently my son, Mike Jr. and my cousin Lawrence, coming on board.” Lessing says.

"I have a great team around me. There's an incredible responsibility to running the family business and it's not just about keeping the business alive. It's about growing and diversifying. My job is to develop the company to be bigger and stronger so the next generation can continue to build the legacy."

In 2021, through a partnership with Ellen Hart Sturm in New York City, Lessing’s Hospitality now operates the world-famous Ellen's Stardust Diner & The Iridium. The company is currently comprised of over 100 locations throughout the Northeast and Florida. Lessing’s operates 21 wedding and catering venues, 20 full-service restaurants, 2 pop-up kitchen concepts, over 60 corporate and academic dining centers, and a historic inn.

SUMMER DAYS DRIFTING AWAY:

According to IMDB, Olivia Newton-John grew up in both England and Australia. In 1954 (at age 5), her family moved to Australia but she returned to live in England more than a decade later after

September 2022 47

A talented British-Australian singer and actress, Olivia Newton-John teamed up with John Travolta in 1978 to create a big screen version of the Broadway musical Grease that smashed the box office and offered audiences memorable songs like, You're The One That I Want,(one of the best selling singles of all time), Summer Nights, and Hopelessly Devoted to You. The combination of the two stars dancing and singing together on the silver screen was... electrifying. Families lined up around the block at local movie theaters to see Grease over and over again.

When asked about the reasons why Grease was such a success, Olivia Newton-John replied, "I think the songs are timeless. They're fun and have great energy. The '50s-feel music has always been popular, and it's nostalgic for my generation, and then the young kids are rediscovering it every 10 years or so, it seems. People buying the album was a way for them to remember those feelings of watching the movie and feelings of that time period. I feel very grateful to be a part of this movie that's still loved so much."

winning a talent contest. In 1975, she moved to the United States where she had already become wellestablished as a pop and country singer. Best known as a singer, she had over 25 "Top 40" singles, more than half of which went "Top 10" on the US Billboard charts, including five #1 hits -- "I Honestly Love You" (1974), "Have You Never Been Mellow" (1975), "You're the One That I Want" (1978), "Magic" (1980) and "Physical" (1981). Well-known songs include "If Not for You", "If You Love Me, Let Me Know", "Let Me Be There", "I Honestly Love You", "Heart Attack", "Have You Never Been Mellow", "Summer Nights", "You're The One That I Want", "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "Magic", "Xanadu", "Physical" and "Twist of Fate". When MTV launched in the early '80's Olivia Newton-John scored her biggest hit with "Physical", which featured Newton-John in sexy workout attire putting oiled-up muscle men through their paces. "Physical" sold over two million copies and spent 10 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.

The four-time Grammy Award Winner was a platinum recording hit-maker who had global record sales of over 100 Million records. Newton-John, who battled breast cancer three times, was a tireless advocate for breast cancer research. She was also an activist for various environmental and animal rights causes. Newton-John was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2020 for services to charity, cancer research, and entertainment.

Pop Star Mariah Carey tweeted, "I first fell in love with Olivia's voice when I was a little girl and heard 'I Honestly Love You... Songs like 'Magic,' 'Suddenly' and 'Have You Never Been Mellow' showcased her beautiful airy tone and signature sound. And THEN there was GREASE. I was obsessed. I dressed up as Bad Sandy for Halloween in 5th grade and thought I was everything."

Hollywood's Suzanne Somers told the Daily Mail, “Everyone would want an Olivia Newton-John in their life... Olivia taught me not to be afraid when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. … Olivia provided great comfort for me when diagnosed 25 years ago. Her fight was my fight, as she won, I won.”

John Travolta paid tribute to his beloved Grease co-star after learning news of her passing — “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John.”

Olivia Newton-John's death brought immediate reaction throughout the music industry, Dolly Parton tweeted,"So sad to have lost my special friend Olivia Newton-John...So happy that our lives crossed paths. I know her voice is singing beautifully with the angels."

Shooting Tom (Hanks) and Sean (Lennon) were both rewarding, they were collaborative, communicative and receptive to trying things. We shot film on both shoots which was bold for them (because they can't see the results, so it requires a certain level of both confidence in oneself and trust in the photographer). Elvis (Costello) was also wonderful and playful. I enjoy most people I work with, actually.

Any favorite models or celebrities?

Tell us the back story to this gorgeous photo

September 2022 53

This image was made on a sweltering hot day in late summer in Southhampton, NY. We were playing off the swimsuits and the idea of leisure, luxury and simplicity - not over styled, not over lit (from a lighting standpoint), not over posed (we had models trade between poolside reclining and entering / exiting the pool until the actions became natural).

How did you get into photography?

I was and am a dedicated skateboarder, which was how I originally became interested in image making. Very quickly I found there was more to shooting photographs than action pictures, and people became my subject (and remains so, 20 years later).

Inspirations?

More than anything, my contemporaries, and those who create work without being noticed for it. In addition and separately from that category, I also regularly return to images by Jed Devine, Marshall Scheuttle, Joel Sternfeld, Sally Mann, Judith Joy Ross, Diane Arbus, Roger Fenton, etc. Perhaps more than imagery, music inspires me. Hard to describe how, but it is my main form of inspiration / art-intake.

Future plans?

In terms of photography, I am releasing a printed (and possibly digital NFT) coffee table book of a series I've been making on film for close to 4 years. This will release in mid to late 2023 and a portion of revenue will go directly toward non profit mental health resources. (Stay tuned / follow my socials for this). My old band also just reformed so catch me onstage making a fool of myself in the tristate area!

A NON-PROFIT

In the absence of any action by politicians, Diana and her team at MMAD started raising money for the victims and survivors of the cult Church that i spired that first film. A Church that forces its' followers into child marriage, forced labor and are often even starved out by their Church or excommunicated with little education or knowledge of the outside world should they fall into disfavor.

to make this her mission. Diana started MoviesMakingADifference, 501c3. Its' ambition was to produce inspiring and commercial films that highlight social ills and injustice and plow the proceeds back into the non-profit to benefit the victims of these issues. And that is exactly what MMAD does.

DIFFERENCEMAKINGMOVIESa

Bringing it in way under budget and ahead of schedule, the film she produced, “Cathedral Canyon”, went on to win Audience Choice Award at the Palm Beach International Film Festival and Special Achievement at The Worldwide Women’s Film Festival where much of the film's audience horrified to learn for the first time, the extraordinary story of what was going on in their own country and pitched in to help. This is how one person can decide to make a difference and galvanize others to do the

t is often said that people make their own change. They either change themselves to fit the world, or they try to change the world to fit them. Diana Davis falls into that courageous latter group. When she learned about the appalling situation of corruption and organized pedophilia hiding under the guise of a twisted religion that was, and is, rampant in the USA, she made a movie about it. She had never made a film before and had no money.....but she regarded these facts as minor obstacles.

"MMAD HAS FOUND SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DRUG/ALCOHOL TREATMENT PROGRAMS, JOB TRAINING, TRANSPORTATION, EMPLOYMENT AND DENTAL CARE."

MMAD has been able to fulfill their initial mission and go even further. They have found shelter and furnishings for those that became homeless after being expelled from the Church and being stripped of their possessions as a result. Diana’s partner, Chip Williams, an addiction counselor, purchased a home as a Safe House for emergency rescues until they find proper placement. MMAD has found scholarships for drug/alcohol treatment programs, job training, transportation, employment and dental care. For others, one of the most important has been the ability to study for and achieve a GED since schooling was not available in the community. Diana often convinces the courts that these young people do not belong in jail when they escape and often end up in the hands of even more predators, often traffickers. When provisions are needed; personal hygiene items, blankets, sewing machines and fabric to help. MMAD also flies to other states to meet those left stranded by their so-called Church and offer them help. And then sometimes it is as simple as just taking the time to listen, talk, guide, inspire and be inspired, for some survivors to continue to forge ahead. Last year Diana stopped counting as she aided her 150th survivor.

“Cult Cartel” Premiered on the Rooftop of the beautiful Ben Hotel in West Palm Beach last year. Donny Most was on hand along with first time star and ex-FLDS member Young Barlow, who portrayed a young man not unlike himself. A third film, “Carmelita” is entering it’s preproduction stage and will be a murder mystery, tackling the very real atrocities on both sides of our Mexican border. The script has already earned accolades from former CEO of MGM Roger Birnbaum, and actors Danny Trejo and Emilio Rivera.

All this started by one lady determined to be MakingADifference.

By staying involved with the survivors long after the cameras stopped rolling, she had a devoted and talented team (28 of whom are the actual survivors themselves) who were ready for work as production started again. The first scenes of the sequel, 'Cult Cartel', were shot in and around Palm Beach before the production returned to Arizona to historically shoot inside the infamous town of Colorado City, a town where viewing movies had been banned, let alone one shot there. Donny Most - Ralph Malph of ‘Happy Days’ fame, Jud Tylor - Samantha from ‘That 70’s Show’ and Winsor Harmon - Thorne from “The Bold & The Beautiful’ star in the film and work coaching their remarkable cast members some of whom with no formal schooling, had difficulty reading the script.

The first essay in Towards Happiness, “The Context is Personal,” talks about how the happiness that work can provide is different from other kinds of happiness, for example, the kind we feel in a romantic relationship. It’s grounded in the knowledge that we are performing well and can feel good about what we’re doing. So, even if we are not happy in another aspect of our lives, work may be a source of healthy self-esteem.

Thoughconsequences.we’veall grown up with that famous line from The Godfather – “It’s not personal. It’s just business.” – the fact is that work is personal, and an extension of who we are in relation to others.

find meaning in my work as a psychiatrist because I can follow the progress of the people whom I treat. Following their progress – often over several years – is a source of emotional feedback. It reinforces my sense that I chose the right profession, that is, one that calls on my need to be empathic, to listen, and help troubled individuals understand how to lead a more satisfying life.

The book includes a series of essays by Dr. Ahron Friedberg, prominent Manhattan psychiatrist, concerning how his patients sought to achieve greater happiness during challenging periods of their lives, and how as a consequence they grew personally and professionally. Each chapter considers a core topic through the lens of Dr. Friedberg’s practice, demonstrating how patients worked through difficult, sometimes chronic personal issues. Throughout, there are useful summaries of key points. While candidly acknowledging that each life is different, Towards Happiness offers practical examples that can enhance readers’ efforts to achieve greater levels of happiness and reorient their lives towards a deeper capacity for happiness.

Towards Towards Happiness, Dr. Friedberg has made an incredibly sensitive study of actual lived experience. In this collection of intimate portraits, he demonstrates the imagination, courage, wisdom, and unflagging effort necessary to create happiness where it has been lost.”

The essay “Office Politics vs. Your Moral Compass” examines this effect. The point is that while we need to find work that pays, we should not lose sight of other considerations, such as whether we’re comfortable doing what we do and feel right about compromises that we’re called on to make. Actually, what we do affects us and the people around us. We can’t dissociate ourselves from the

Towards Happiness offers honest insights into the compromises, sacrifices, and resulting degrees of success that characterize pursuing happiness, and will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists, and other mental health professionals. It will also be useful reading for anyone seeking to understand the achievement of happiness in their own lives.

TOWARDS HAPPINESS –

LITERARY SPOTLIGHT

Happiness offers a series of true-to-life stories about real people and follows their literal pursuit of happiness. Their trials and travails offer guidance by example. The stories follow the protagonists as they try, make mistakes, brush themselves off, try again…there is a sense of real life, as well as of real drama. But more to the point, anyone can learn from these relatable immensely human accounts. The lessons are ones that you can actually use because you see how each lesson was learned.” Arnold Richards, M.D. Founding Editor, International Psychoanalysis “In

Another essay, “Retirement,” talks about a patient who retires without making provision for a continuing source of meaning and purpose. He flounders. The lesson is that throughout life, even when we have formally stopped working, we still need some attachment to an occupation that sustains our sense of self and our productive relationship to the world.

By Ahron Friedberg, M.D.

66 25A Magazine | metmagny.com 25A

Another essay, “The Right Fit,” examines the struggle of some people to find work that provides meaning and purpose. Sometimes we need to try several professions until something feels right. It’s normal. We shouldn’t resist the need to find satisfying work, since what we do profoundly affects how we feel about ourselves. We can’t be happy if we don’t care about our work or it just doesn’t feel like us, that is, if it doesn’t call on our talents and may conflict with our convictions.

od Lippy, the polymath creative force behind the award-winning arts publication Esopus, recently released his latest musical project, Midterms, a six track EP following the recent release of the single “Bob” which features also on this project.

Lippy has also made a name for himself as a book designer (most recently creating the cover for Louis Menand’s critically acclaimed The Free World (FSG); artist (earning a coveted MacDowell Colony Residency in 2018 to complete a series of drawings related to his work on Esopus); curator (responsible for exhibitions at White Columns and Pioneer Works, among other venues); writer for Artforum and other publications; and filmmaker, whose 2000 short film Cookies played at 20 film festivals around the world.

Midterms is the third album from Lippy following the wellreceived LPs Here We Are (2019) and Yearbook (2021), both produced by the legendary Kramer (Low, Galaxy 500).

Acclaimedly/3nrX5kU

The work led to a partnership with several New York city institutions including MoMA, New York Public Library, The Kitchen, and National Sawdust to create performances, exhibitions, lectures, and other events. The nonprofit corporation formed to serve as the umbrella organization for all activities, The Esopus Foundation Ltd., received major funding from organizations ranging from the NEA to The Andy Warhol Foundation.

The other songs on the album deal with issues ranging from toxic television personalities and celebrity culture to armchair activism and apathy in general.

The message behind the rest of Midterms EP is anything but vague: “This country is grappling with a dark period of hyperpolarization, distrust in institutions, and economic instability,” Lippy says. “Midterms is my attempt to come to terms with, and maybe even try to make some sense of, this reality.”

MIDTERMS

artist Steve Keene, perhaps best-known for his iconic album art for bands like Pavement, The Apples in Stereo, and Silver Jews, has painted a series of 7 different covers on 50 chipboard sleeves containing the forthcoming lathe-cut 10” vinyl release of “Midterms” (out in August). The paintings include Keene’s interpretations of the EP’s original cover in addition to 6 images corresponding to each track on the release.

It is important to note that Dennis is not just an encyclopedic reference to all things Grateful Dead. He’s written several books, one of which being On Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom. Many people, myself included, are fascinated by the people that surround musical movements. I asked Dennis to speak about the familial nature of the Dead’s fanbase. This eventually led Dennis and I to speak about the regionality of music, something

is a universal language, he and I spoke about the fact that music takes on a dialect depending on where it is produced or performed. He recounted a conversation between the band members and a high Egyptian official wherein the official asked the band if the locations of their performances caused their music to change, to which Phil Lesh replied “exactly, that’s why we want to play at the pyramids.”

that permeates the Dead’s vast catalog of live recordings. Many Grateful Dead fans can name a location and date wherein their favorite version of a song was performed. Each improvisation attracts different ears. The jam band idea is largely credited to the early American jazz musings of artists like John Coltrane. Funnily enough, Dennis told me that Jerry had once said “look, we weren’t good enough to play it twice the same way, so we had to

Although Dennis is still an active Grateful Dead historian, he has taken on a similar publicist role with other notable acts, Zero and the Phantom Blues Band. The former being the jam-band brainchild of legendary guitarist Steve Kimock, and the latter being a supergroup of elite session musicians that have recorded with The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Taj Mahal, and many more.

uch lore surrounds the career of the Grateful Dead. Fortunately, us laymen can get a peek behind the acid-soaked curtains with the help of Dennis McNally. After speaking with Dennis it is clear that he is far more than the bands’ former publicist, he is a member of the Grateful Dead family. His story is one that any young creative should look to for inspiration. Shortly after publishing a biography on Jack Kerouac, McNally sent copies to Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter via the Dead’s fan-mail address. Some might assume the copies of McNally’s book were bound for the abyss, but one ended up in Jerry’s hands and he thoroughly enjoyed it. McNally and Garcia met and chatted about the Kerouac biography at an audition for comedic skits that would be used in Dead Ahead, a concert film recorded at Radio City Music Hall. The skits in the film were co-written and hosted by Al Franken, yes, THAT Al Franken, but that’s another story. Some of the Grateful Dead staff members suggested that McNally write a biography for the band and after some time as a dedicated documentarian, he was appointed publicist. It isn’t easy to articulate the massive cultural impact of the Dead, but if anyone can do it, it’s Dennis.

Artist Robert Cenedella (b. 1940) presents his newest painting, So Many Roads (2021), honoring the legacy of the Grateful Dead, the eclectic band that reimagined the way we listen to music by transforming numerous genres, like folk, bluegrass, jazz, country, and blues, into rock and roll.

GRATITUDE

Going outside and sitting in peace and quiet can be remarkable for your mental health. Listening to birds and looking at trees can bring a sense of calm.

Count your blessings every morning. Write down three things that you are grateful for and appreciate every little thing in your life (a home, car, family, etc). So many people walk around looking at what they don’t have rather than appreciating everything they do have.

Have boundaries. There is nothing wrong with doing what’s best for you. We all think we have to do something, probably the fear of not being liked or accepted.

If it disrupts your peace or your state of mind, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.

LAUGHTER

It’s an instant vacation. Whenever I was severely depressed, it’s amazing how turning on my favorite comedy or watching a standup special instantly changed my attitude.

DON’T HOLD GRUDGES

Walking around infesting your body with negativity is not worth it. Forgiveness is always for you, not for the other person. That doesn’t mean having a relationship, it just means letting go of the anger.

Boz Scaggs with his still incredible voice is an artist that is meaningful today as he was back at the height of his career. Under purple, cool blue, white and orange lighting, one got the feeling last night at times that they were in New Orleans or Greenwich Village in a Jazz club; or back in time in Mississippi at a Rhythm and Blues club. What Boz Scaggs does so well is arrangements in his songs; his brand new song, "Miss Riddle" was a funky, Jazzy melody. While " Georgia " did not disappoint, it was "Look What You've Done To Me" and " Loan Me A Dime" that brought the house down. These two songs ooze just what Boz Scaggs's musical genre is, soulful, and meaningful and it resonates throughout the auditorium. They concluded with "Lido Shuffle" which was the one song all evening where he went through the motions and gave an uninspiring rendition but came back strong with " Lowdown" and ending on an even higher note with an old Chuck Berry song. For one hour and forty- five minutes Boz Scaggs gave a timeless performance proving that he can still perform at the highest musical level. His band too was deft in backing this musical genius.

BOZ SCAGGS

CRITIC'S CORNER

By Bob Massimi

illiam Royce "Boz" Scaggs was born in Canton, Ohio, and lived most of his young life in Plano, Texas. He was an early bandmate of Steve Miller in the Ardells and The Steve Miller Band. He began a solo career in 1969. In 1976 his breakthrough album "Silk Degrees" peaked at number two and produced hit songs like " Lido Shuffle" and " Lowdown ". Scaggs produced two more platinum albums in "Down Two Then Left" and "Middle Man". Scaggs took a recording hiatus through the 1980s, he returned to recording and touring in 1988.

At 78 years old, Boz Scaggs defies time. Last night at the Morristown Performing Arts Center it was Boz front and center. With different backing musicians than when I last saw him, Scaggs was on his game. Opening with "What Can I Say" under purple lighting, Scaggs delivered a brilliant opening statement. The evening's second song Jo Jo was and is a popular song amongst the audience.

“

How do you envision the visitor experience of The Parrish Art Museum moving into the future?

We will focus on serving our diverse constituents in breadth and also in depth. We will engage our community stakeholders and civic leaders in discussions before establishing the exhibition and public program calendars to make sure we are meeting diverse visitors’ expectations, that our audiences feel acknowledged and represented, and that we offered top notch, relevant content. For example, there will be some exhibitions that focus on the creative process of prominent artists and other exhibitions that focus on themes such as biodiversity and the environment—important, relevant issues to our East End residents.

Interview with Parrish Director, Dr. Mónica Ramírez-Montagut

I am inspired by the fact that the Parrish embodies a tremendous 125-year history of artists working in the East End ranging from late 1800s Impressionists such as William Merritt Chase and Modern American masters like Fairfield Porter, to the preeminent Abstract Expressionist artists such as Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Helen Frankenthaler, to groundbreaking pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, to incredibly relevant living artists such as Rashid Johnson, Jacqueline Humphries, Eric Fischl, and Cindy Sherman just to name a few. I am also enthralled by our building designed by the Pritzker Prize recipient firm Herzog & De Meuron and inspired by these artists’ studios and their sensibility to the light in this region. The building allows for the visitor to look out to the meadow and the nature that inspired many of these artists. The Parrish is terrific destination offering access to excellent art, excellent architecture grounded in the nature and creative force of this region, and excellent education and interpretation programs that render the visitor experience like no other in the world.

Can you speak to us about your key people and supporters of the Parish’s mission, who continue to realize its success? How can one become involved?

The key to the Parrish’s success and relevancy is to have broad community support all around. We are increasing the diversity and numbers of our board members who in turn will encourage their own communities to be more involved in the Parrish’s programs and giving circles. It is important that we have this broad community of members and ongoing supporters at many different levels, which will ensure a more representative, sustainable future. We welcome everyone to become a member of the Parrish! Those who would like to be more involved can join the Director’s Council and Director’s Circle groups.

I believe making sure that accessibility is a priority is the best way to communicate to the public— particularly those visiting us for the first time (which is 60-70% of our visitors) and experiencing modern and contemporary art for the first time. We need to communicate to that audience—not only to those who are already experts in the field, which is how arts institutions have operating for a while. We must make an effort to be generous and provide a textured, rich, and inspiring visitor experience, one that feels relevant to visitors of all ages from different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities.

of the night. The feeling of coming together to elicit the positive transformation of our institution which will poise us to be an arts leading institution for the 21st century was palpable in the room. There was tons of momentum from coming together after tough two years, to gather, heal, and set off on a new, refreshed pathway that will serve, illuminate, and inspire us all.

What is the key to success when communicating with the public?

What artists in 2022 are inspiring you?

With 12,000 sq. ft of exhibition space, how do you see the community playing a role in the museum’s future programming and activities?

As mentioned, we will be engaging diverse stakeholders from different communities to discuss our ideas before we turn them into plans. And the deliverables on the walls of the museum will include more points of access for viewers, for example, more extended labels, videos showing the artists working in their studios, a bit more about our incredible history of artists in the East End and our remarkable building and contemporary architecture. The idea is that the visitor experience will offer something for everyone.

I am inspired by so many artists it is very difficult to narrow it down, but currently I am looking at the work by Sanford Biggers, Simone Leigh, Carmen Herrera, Diana Al-Hadid, Zilia Sanchez, Hung Liu, Betsabee Romero, Eddie Martinez, Enoc Perez—and the list keeps going…

Beauty of Darkness is a new series created when pushed outside of my comfort zone to the outer edge of spacial time. It is when life calling is no longer a mystery but complete transparency of why we are here. Questions regarding our primal existence are answered through our everyday natural habitat. When suddenly the universe is shown in black and white without any hint of color. This series was first inspired when Carol was a child and a neighbor called her mother at 3:00am. The call was to announce that her rare queen of the night flower had blossomed and and would wilt before dawn. It only occurred every seven years and y mother had wanted us to experience it. It was an exciting moment together amongst friends and marvel over the mystery of nature. In her new series you will see love, loss, passion, depth texture and the beauty of darkness.”

The platform is a genius way to support artists during this horrible pandemic and the world changes we are going through by promoting art and making limited edition high-end art puzzles. It is such a brilliant idea. I am so over the moon to be up there in the company with artists like Kenny Scharf. I’m honored that Rachel has asked me to be the first limited edition run of art prints with my Basquiat image.

Music, Color, Reading. I’m so inspired by art and mostly, I look to the past; I love the work of Gustave Dore, who was born in 1832. He illustrated the bible so beautifully. His etchings and illustrations can seem quite dark, depicting hellish beings yet, also full of stunning angels with rays of light around them. I was exposed to his work very early in my life by a nun who cared for me in a children’s home in Glasgow when I was six years old.

Your artwork has been transformed into new special limited-edition art prints. Can you tell us more about this collaboration?

"I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ART; IT’S CONNECTED TO MY CORE."

Rachel Vancelette was introduced to me by the amazing Robert Dupont (Warhol

There was no better way than having him bursting through his own work, glowing with talent and wisdom. I love the quote that has been added to his hat and, in the end, made the image’s title. It says so much about the art world and rings so true more today than ever.

I have worked as an artist even without making a penny doing it. I have put everything I have earned in day jobs back into my art to purchase canvas, paints, and digital software. I can't live without art; it’s connected to my core. I just keep going and pushing myself to master my craft; if one person gets it, I’m happy, but ultimately, I’m doing it because I need to. If I could advise my younger self, I would say keep going, keep giving, and learn the business, lol.

I love old black and white historical images. Sam Bolton, who originally shot the black and white photograph of Jean Michel Basquiat, is such a brilliant photographer. Sam has documented some of the most incredible historical figures in art. I wanted to make the image look like it was taken “now.” I wanted to show Jean Michel Basquiat as a young, cheeky, genius spirit.

"I THINK BEING PUT INTO CARE AND BEING ADOPTED GAVE ME AN OBSESSION WITH MY IDENTITY. ‘WHO WAS I?’ "

I first started out with my art viewed and seen by French artists Pierre et Gilles in Paris. Before I knew it, I modeled for them in 2007 in three of their iconic images, which went from there. I modeled for Thierry Mugler and other iconic figures in art and fashion, and once you get into that world, it’s easy to access and meet well-known faces.

Can you tell us about your relationships and friendships with top performers, celebrities and international photographers, from which your subjects predominantly derive?

to change the way I looked and sometimes I would dress up as James Dean or Boy George, or an angel. I was so inspired to create. I think being put into care and being adopted gave me an obsession with my identity. ‘Who was I?’ This obsession developed into a love for portraiture and storytelling through images. I like to explore this in my work, ‹who are these people in the images?› I also like and enjoy giving clues within each piece.

- JUANO DIAZ

Speaking to the last years of many changes due to the pandemic, has this changed your artistic practice? Yes, it has made me look inward. I have just signed up with a prominent literary agent and have been writing my memoir about my life, including the stories of my adoption and art journey. Being in lock-down gave me that time to reflect on why I do this art. I also found myself during the pandemic reaching out to other artists more, just to simply talk art.

What are your future goals and hopes for 2022? The goal is to have a solo show here in the UK and one in NYC. It’s one thing having art online, but art has to be seen and one really has to see my work in person to appreciate it; that’s the same for all art, really. That is the genius about owning original prints and editions; one gets to have art on your walls to appreciate in your home and in-person.

September 2022 87

However, I simply reach out via the internet and ask the person I’m making an image of to take a photo of themselves on an iPhone or license vintage images directly from a photographer and re-imagine them. It would be fantastic to own a big studio and build a set, but I simply don’t need it; everything is done remotely and with computers and paint. It is actually a quiet process which is bliss. But I’m honored to have been trusted with the images of some of these artists. For example, the amazing David LaChapelle recently collaborated with me for an artwork. I made an incredible image of him and think it is one of my favorite image I have made.

When did you first create art and who is your inspiration?

I was adopted from a children’s home in Glasgow back in 1983. During my time there, from about age four to six, I would draw my mother’s face over and over. A nun who looked after me shared bibles, for which one was illustrated by Gustave Dore. It sparked my love for illustration and art. When I was a kid, I would photograph myself and draw over the photo with paints

I have my new book coming out very soon and a film by the fantastic Sophie Fiennes. I’m also working with some major talents on album art, I can’t say much about that, but you will all know when it arrives; it is pretty huge for me! I just want to keep making art and collaborate with unique talents to tell visual stories through art.

T ALEX COHEN

here is a distinctive dream-like quality that makes Alex Cohen’s artwork stand out amongst the rest. Having zero experience as an artist whatsoever up until after college, he began using art as a form of therapy, to tap into his emotions and feel wholesome while producing something that was prolific and eyecatching. Alex - and others - soon discovered that he had a knack for visual art and what began as therapy, not only turned into a passion but also a professional career. His mind conjures eccentric idiosyncratic scenes that are unmistakably Alex Cohen.

PAINTING BACK TO LIFE AN INTERVIEW WITH

By Alexa Modugno

You became an artist without going to art school. How did you teach yourself?

With a flawless technique, you would never guess that Alex taught himself how to paint. Once he was able to tap into his true creativity, he was enthusiastically encouraged as his potential was realized and he continued to create with his tremendous growing talent. While at the start of his career his audience was limited, after some viral Instagram posts his art took off and in 2021 he was asked to do a live painting at an event at Art Basel 2021.

My first artistic love was filmmaking, and I took some courses in a while during my undergraduate studies. I saw how quickly it polluted my ideas and made me fall a little more and more out of love with the art form after each class.

that a “traditional” job would be more lucrative. However, once he found his artistic voice, Alex became sure that he chose the right path and he has become an inspiration to everyone who ever doubted themselves or to anyone who struggled to simply imagine their future.

I started painting for the first time in Art Therapy in rehab and fell in love with it instantly. The vibrations from the brush were

Alex incorporates his personal experiences, growing up under immense pressure to thrive academically in a severe illiberal and demanding environment. He struggled with his mental health throughout childhood and adolescence, seriously hindering his ability to succeed in his studies. Once finally able to find his creative voice, art was the missing puzzle piece that resonated within Alex, completing his search for a life purpose. He believes that to create, is to let go of fears and past negative experiences, and Alex will continue to evolve, as he turns more and more heads.

Recently, Alex took part in a mural project in Phoenix, AZ where he cleverly and fantastically illustrated childhood dreams and perseverance. Alex chose the path of the artist while his parents anxiously insisted

How would you classify your “style”?

Do you think anyone can be an artist and tell me why you like being an artist.

What was your childhood like and do you think if you were an artist it’d enhance it?

90 25A Magazine | metmagny.com 25A

Stylistically, I have no idea what category I fall under. However, I do know that what I enjoy doing the most is juxtaposing street art and “fine art”, with the goal in mind to show viewers and myself that there are no such things as “higher art” forms. Any style can achieve my artistic goals and create an emotional response from viewers, which is all that I care about

Life is really about contrasts and dichotomies, what activities, foods, drugs, etc make you feel the most different from what you are already experiencing. When I first tried to get sober in 2018, I knew I needed to find an activity that got me from point A to point B without further jeopardizing my mental healthwhich was already in a fragile state - but what activity could have the same impact of drugs? Not just take me away from the pain and discomfort, but help me learn how to better live with that discomfort. Painting is a practice in learning how to screw up, not give up, and then trying to make that screw up into something beautiful. I find this relates to life in many ways.

at the end of the day. Did the painting make you feel or think about something? If it did either, then it has accomplished its goal. I love experiencing creating in different styles because it teleports me into different and oftentimes new worlds.

It relates to all of my art, if I hadn’t had these issues in the first place, I probably wouldn’t have ever felt “crazy” enough to pick up a paintbrush and try to make something out of it.

Don’t listen to your parents.

Growing up, playing sports, and trying to be cool were always the most important things to me. I secretly always loved absorbing art in all of its forms, however, I was too scared of rejection to ever attempt it myself. I wish I just didn’t give a f*ck about what other people thought and was just able to be myself, but we all know that’s the hardest thing in the world to do when you’re growing up.

Tell me a little about your issues with substance abuse and mental health and how it relates to your art.

What inspires you to create?

What’s one piece of advice you have for your younger self?

the closest feeling I could get to taking drugs without actually taking them. I knew after my experience with film classes, I needed to protect the painting with all my heart from anything that could hurt it. In all honesty, I learned how to paint by doing it a lot and making a lot of mistakes. Looking at artists I admire, trying to emulate, making more mistakes, and then learning from those experiences.

It depends on what you think good art is. Some people classify good art as what most closely resembles a still photograph, whereas others care about what they are actually looking at, and what can’t already be done by a camera. I think anyone can make “interesting” art and that it’s just a matter of unleashing your mind. OCD is the common enemy that prevents most people from ever pursuing art and or feeling good about their creations. Once you can let go of perfectionism and accept that you are going to make mistakes, you open yourself up to a completely new world of artistic opportunity.

I don’t paint because I want to, I paint because I have to. If I don’t paint, to put it simply, I lose my mind.

CAPTURING FLEETING MOMENTS IN SOUTHAMPTON WITH LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER DANNY SIT

By Rachel Vancelette

92 25A Magazine | metmagny.com 25A

Shooting across the world for magazines like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour and Cosmopolitan, can you tell us more about the evolution of your photography over the years?

I have always tried to shoot “lifestyle” rather than posing my subjects for the session. I will instead try to capture their soul, a fleeting moment.

I hate being photographed. I get self-conscious and awkward.

Anything else you would like to add?

You opened your first photography studio in Houston, Texas, earning a nomination for American Photographer Magazine’s Fashion Photographer of the Year; what advice would you give your younger self and other inspiring photographers?

What inspires you about the photographic process?

Keep shooting, all the time, every day, even if it is just a shot of a landscape or your dog; study, copy and follow the photographers you admire. Eventually, you will develop your own style as your vision is never going to be exactly the same.

What is something that may surprise us about you?

From subjects such as your favorite Hampton’s surfing spot to images of your dog running freely down the beautiful beach, photographer Danny Sit, known for his international photography, is undoubtedly making a new mark.

and capture quiet moments. Sit’s photography practice looks at capturing those unique fleeting moments and presents refreshing new subjects of both tranquility and beauty of all ages.

September 2022 93

Many of the models that I use to shoot for catalogs are now approaching fifty. We still inspire each other to continue the photography process. I’m working on a series of nudes… models over 50. I find beauty in every age. It’s not boudoir photography, but we continue to have fun shooting!

As a resident of Southampton, can you tell us more about your local subjects, inspiration and practice since the pandemic?

The photographer known for traveling the globe for outlets such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Grazia, and Marie Claire has decided to change the traditional narrative by slowing down to capture the moments of everyday life. His photography practice evokes creativity and spontaneity of the “now” along with incorporating his own unique fashion twist. His subjects continue to be snapped up by Hampton’s local art collectors as his photography studio continues to welcome new clients to create engaging new memories

Shooting basically came to a standstill when the pandemic hit. A friend has a dog walking/boarding business, so I started shooting dogs. Again, I try to capture a feeling, even with the dogs.

Inspiration comes from being able to capture a feeling for the moment. something real, documenting a story…I want the viewer to be able to feel they were there inside the photography.

"I have worked in the fashion industry for over 30 years and my biggest blessing as a photographer and creator was finding not just one muse but two, 28 years ago! To be able to collaborate and photograph the same two people who themselves are so intimately connected is an artist's dream. Our body of work is thousands of images deep now and when we shoot it’s like a dance but one where you know every step yet it’s still always a surprise. We met William Quigley 15 years ago at an exhibition of photos I had in conjunction with the release of a documentary I directed called Haiti: Hunger & Hope. I knew of Bill’s work and was thrilled he would come to see me. The more I got to know the man, the more I realized that was the kind of person he was. kind, generous, curious, humble, and collaborative. Funnily enough I have always hoped we would do something special together and this collection of images is the perfect example of all the things I love. In this series of pictures you will find movement, dance, strength, intimacy, passion and drama combined with Bill's drawings, painting and doodling that represent to me, the mind, and soul, as if you were able to harness and illustrate your brain waves and emotions in ink.

“LET’S ALL HAVE A MEETING OF THE CHIN TWINS”

The intersection of this new work is reminiscent of Warhol’s monumental ensembles with Basquiat, Picasso’s stage sets for Diaghilev, or the ambitious scaled reverence enshrined in Abstract Expressionism such as the collaboration between Sir Cecil Beaton and Jackson Pollock. With The Chin Twins as the central characters, Nigel Barker and William Quigley create a new palette of possibilities that blurs the boundary between art and life; an interdisciplinarity collaboration viewers will continue to return to as a reference of contemporary conversation between these artists.

BEFORE HEADING TO THE EAST HAMPTON FIREWORKS:

B NY Gallery at 62 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY presents an artistic collaboration between legendary photographer Nigel Barker, movement artists The Chin Twins and painter William Quigley. The 2-week exhibition opened Saturday July 16th 6:00pm – 9:00pm in an industrial space turned gallery found at the back lot of Schenck Fuels until July 26th.

Chin (b. 1975 Fairhope, Alabama), otherwise known as @ChinTwins, of Chinese, Irish, and Norwegian descent, started their careers straight out of high school. Discovered in Miami before successfully modeling in Milan, Paris, London and New York; working for magazines such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Allure and Elle as well as shooting campaigns and walking the runway for the biggest names in fashion like Yohji Yamamoto, Kenzo, Gaultier, Armani, Valentino and Gucci. As young girls both sisters shared a love for yoga, ballet, dance and jazz. Their passion for the arts gave them the grace and poise which was instrumental in their huge success in the fashion industry, often being asked to create shapes and poses that simply only they could achieve. Kimmy and Crissy now in their forties with 5 children between them, are arguably in the best shape of their lives. The creation of their first joint Instagram account in 2014 has grown into a community of followers 98K strong and growing fast. Many of whom tune in to the @ChinTwins for inspiration in mind, body and soul. They have also rekindled their modeling career with their

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Sarah Scribner, AB NY Gallery and artists on the caliber of Nigel, and the Chin Twins. Nigel, Crissy and Kimmy are giving, kind, humble, successful, down to earth, who do so much for others and absolute masters in their respected fields of photography and dance. Our alliance has challenged me to go beyond my own familiar visual vocabulary and create something uniquely special together. It’s taken near 2 years to develop a concept that compliments the Twins incredible athletic versatility and eloquence and Nigel’s amazing ability to stop time. The light and way he captures their difficult seemingly effortless movements in full motion immediately made me think of Matisse’s 1909 painting Dance 1 and the monumental collaborations of Warhol, Clemente and Basquiat’s as an impetus for scale. The intensity of their poses and confident clarity unveiled a whole new palette of color, shapes and possibilities that probably would never have been exposed otherwise. Our Collaboration has opened a window to wiggle in a new world where the choreography has emerged as a transient 4-piece ensemble merging paint, photography, and dance upon a vibrant 2-dimensional stage in a series of colorful, large scale, shaped performances on canvas.” – William Quigley, June 2022

What advice would you give to your younger self or other young inspiring painters?

Just fight it out. I continue to do that today.

nown for blurring the lines between high and low arts, Takuma Tanaka's bold aesthetic brings to life the characteristics of Japanese artistic traditions of post-war Japanese society while tapping into today's contemporary consciousness. The artist pays homage to the history of the Western canon of painting while maintaining the socio-cultural visual vernacular of his native Japan. The emotionally nuanced portrayals articulate life's joys and challenge societal views of the unique individual.

ARTIST TAKUMA TANAKA A COLOR-INFUSED REBELLION

QUICKFIRE INTERVIEW SERIES by Rachel Vancelette

- TAKUMA TANAKA

Tapping into the societal trend of the newfound emergence of artistic self-reflection and investigating contemporary personal stories of his subjects, the artist embraces yet at the same rejects the ever-moving pop culture technological revolution. Tanaka's attempt to slow down the viewer to contemplate, engage and experience each artwork looks toward the importance of historical and contemporary portraiture traditions.

I CONTINUE TO BE INSPIRED BY MUSIC AND A WOMAN'S LOVE. EVOLUTION. I CONTINUE TO USE TRADITIONAL STYLE TECHNIQUES AND MEDIUMS TO INFORM AND INSPIRE MY ARTISTIC PRACTICE.

Tanaka's use of hyper neon and pop colors engage a profound "color-infused rebellion." The dual abstract expressionistsurrealist approach centers on both the ‘seen’ and ‘unseen’ compositional highlights of each landscape that contribute to a rich moderate human experience. Evocative scenes and the unique contemporary color definition provoke otherworldly experiences and engagements, providing vivid real-life compositions. The artist transforms traditional oral storytelling into a painting reality of quasi-archaeological discovery, tapping into volumes of our everyday contemporary cultural references. Synthesized stylized representations engulf bold mythological themes within a halo-like atmospheric vista in each composition.

Tanaka's beginnings greatly influenced his involvement in the arts, as he began as a street artist while healing from severe mental illness at age 25. Continuing to respect the western canon of traditional painting, the artistic practice twists and reinterprets storytelling narratives. The processes that challenge each canvas's construction can be seen as almost sculptural relief and, other times, stain-soaked layering. What artists have influenced you over the years?

The artist's creative studio practice was heavily influenced after being introduced to works by Jean Michel Basquiat by a close friend. In media interviews in Forbes, Yahoo, and other outlets, Tanaka noted his direct connection and influence of "the fighting spirit of Basquiat." The sheer act of art-making on the streets brings the relationship of art directly to the community at large.

The artist contends with engaging real-life subjects by using paint to create an otherworldly environment while devising a hyperreal reality. Facing the topic of individual agency and apocalyptic futurist views, the infusion of colors merges the abstract into near

At first glance, each artwork appears happy and bright; yet the artist continues challenging the viewers' interruptions of classic scenes, emotions, and landscape environments. With further investigation, the viewer will find new storytelling fantasy narratives tapping into powerful stories on humanity and our human condition. Tanaka is investigating, almost like a scientist, humanity's evolutionary DNA, revealing the simplicity of everyday human encounters and combining creative meta-narratives into dystopic scenes dealing with conflict, love, power, and justice.

The old masters to contemporary artists have influenced me. I have a particular affinity for David Hockney's artwork, and his works have taught many of us about the depths of technique and the importance of art theory. I have also studied art theory under Blum & Poe's contemporary artist Kenjiro Okazaki who provided foundational discussions and ideas on robotics, landscape design, and architecture. The opportunity to study painting techniques and art theory of Eiryo Kanazawa and Yutaka Sasaki still influences my practice today.

realistic compositions for new optical engagement. Traditional fine art techniques blended with the artist's natural approach to painting with fluidity and active motion surprises his audience.

narratives echoing today's society. With rapid globalization and the emergence of new technology at the forefront of everyday life, Tanaka dives into global topics of violence, personal isolation, technological innovation, and humanistic personal diaries focusing on the ideas of the "actions" and "kindness" of humans toward the earth.

I continue to be inspired by music and a woman's love. Evolution. I continue to use traditional style techniques and mediums to inform and inspire my artistic practice.

Multiple painting series by the artist inspired by Rakugo Japanese tradition remain a traditional form of verbal entertainment today. The practice offers a lone storyteller sitting on a raised platform called a kōza. The conventional art of storytelling developed as entertainment for ordinary citizens during the Edo Period (1603–1868). At first, many different entertainers would perform the generally humorous monologues, but gradually specialists emerged. Rakugo artists depict long, complicated comical stories known as Rakugoka. Tanaka, heavily influenced by this storytelling tradition, activates new engagements of contemporary scenes "from street graffiti to a formal presentation at an art gallery," each canvas infused with new meta-narratives. The crafted canvas provides symbols, marks, and abstractions lingering in a surreal atmosphere. Heavily gestured strokes within the compositions reveal themselves in unexpected, elusive ways.

Carole Eisner has worked with scrap and recycled metal for 40 years creating elegant, abstract forms welded in steel. The artist's compositions reflect the surprising malleability she finds with metal. She works with “the debris of our civilization,” reclaiming and reassembling disregarded fragments of buildings and bridges into art. Eisner's longevity as an artist is a testament to the natural marriage between her monumental outdoor sculptures and the climate of public spaces. Eisner received a BFA from Syracuse University. A life-long New Yorker, the artist splits her time between New York City and Weston, Connecticut.

By Adam Kluger MEET TODD "TJ" STEIN

September 2022 101

n a recent summer evening, a fundraiser was held for Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney in Todd "TJ" Stein's UES apartment. Stein has lived in this same apartment building since he was a child. It’s a rent-stabilized unit he now shares with his Mother (88) and father (91) (who fought in Madison Square Garden’s Golden Gloves in the 1940’s). You might call this situation unique and last year it became the cover story of The New York Times Sunday edition. The apartment, a convertible 3 bedroom, was buzzing with over 60 guests. The guest list included Brady Dalton Richards, a star of Broadway’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, who took the night off to attend the event. Richards, a graduate of Syracuse University, was introduced to Stein through the alumni program set up by former alum, Aaron Sorkin. And, Richards wasn’t the only performer who attended. Since Stein attended the elite Professional Children’s School and has many famous friends, other folks who attended were Trini Alvarado, a schoolmate who appeared in numerous films, an opera singer, who appeared at the White House, as well as neighbors, childhood and college friends, and a few members of a local Democratic Club.

Stein was born, raised, and resides on the UES. He started in public school, later pursued acting in high school, and, while he was not as famous as some of his classmates like Sarah Jessica Parker, he was working in the industry. The party was beautifully catered by local small businesses. The Congresswoman greeted guests and stayed for photographs with many. Stein introduced Maloney and talked about how they first met at a UES rally. He said he was most impressed that “when Maloney meets someone, she always remembers them and that she will never quit fighting”. His speech lasted a few minutes and then the Congresswoman spoke and mingled.

At the event, Stein handed Maloney a hat that she wore as they were photographed, that read Todd “TJ” Stein, Community Advocate. Todd is exactly that. His passion to help elders began soon after Thanksgiving 2018, when he returned from a business trip concerned about his father’s well-being. He devoted the next year to help his father, Marvin who was wrongfully placed into guardianship, have his rights restored. Today, Todd’s goal is to help others in need navigate the complex programs available, especially for seniors on limited income. Todd’s parents are now good friends and are living together because of Stein’s efforts - after 25 years of marriage and 30 years of divorce. He takes great care of his parents who both have 24-hour home health aides. Their story brought Todd’s passion to a new level. He’s a true advocate and leads by example!

UPPER EAST SIDE COMMUNITY ADVOCATE THROWS HIS HAT IN THE RING

Stein’s goal is to run for District Leader in 2023 in AD 76. In addition to elder issues, his platform includes helping small business, affordable housing and advocating for cleaner and safer streets.After suffering a traumatic bicycle accident in 2020, he became a passionate advocate for safer streets for pedestrians and bicycle riders.

Instead, LongHouse spread couches, canopied beds, rugs, and chairs throughout the garden under the stars, with five buffets bosting everything from poké bowls to a raw bar.

had the pleasure of sitting down with legendary restauranteur, entrepreneur, and star of the hit reality TV show, Serving the Hamptons, on Discovery Plus, Zach Erdem, to celebrate his success and discuss what’s next! Zach is self-made and came to this country with little more than a burning desire to pursue the American dream and make a positive difference. I have known Zach for over 10 years, and his ambition, thoughtfulness, generosity, and professionalism have always impressed me. Zach not only hosted my cover party with 25A Magazine in 2011, but he also generously provided catering to our crew on the set of the feature film, Awakened, also starring John Savage, Steven Bauer, and Sally Kirkland in 2012. Zach’s tenacity and hard work paved the way to acquiring more restaurants and clubs, building a trusted brand, and becoming a household name in the hospitality and entertainment industry with such gravitas that a TV show dedicated to Zach’s work life at his coveted Hamptons’ restaurant, 75 Main, was in high demand. In fact, Zach’s show has been so popular, it was renewed for a second season to premiere on HBO March, 2023! I am truly so excited for Zach and what is to come!

to me. I do not like that word failure. It’s better to call it training. We all have ups and downs. My greatest achievement is where I am today on my own. “

What may be surprising to most people is Zach‘s very humble beginnings. Zach was born in a CAVE (not a home or a hospital) in Erzincan/Turkey to his mother, a house lady, and his father, a farmer, as one of 6 brothers. After studying tourism, hotel management, and business in Edirne/Turkey, Zach moved to NY in 2022 with undeniable ambition to succeed in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Zach’s very first job in this country was as a dishwasher at 75 main. He would later go on to own the restaurant, stating that his love of restaurants was always in his blood.

Reflecting on his career, his biggest challenges and achievements, Zach considered being fired from Nello restaurant to be his greatest challenge but also most significant learning opportunity, as this experience led him to achieve greatness. “My greatest challenge was getting fired at Nello restaurant. It was the best thing that happened

Zach has been close friends with the Kardashian family since before their show pioneered the American reality TV genre. He gave them access to all his places in the Hamptons to film when no one else was offering, and since then, they have provided Zach with invaluable advice on starring in a reality tv show, the business and the fame. Zach’s advice to others who are about to embark on this path is to just be real and allow the rest to come.

I enjoy playing with animals, traveling the world, dining in restaurants, watching my show, and serving my customers is my biggest pleasure. What do you hope to achieve in the future, both personally and professionally?

What do you enjoy doing for pleasure?

I had most of the people at my restaurant already. I would love to meet Nelson Mandela.

SPOTLIGHT with Julianne Michelle

I achieved most of the stuff I wanted. My hope is for a peaceful world, NO war, no kids dying, and no hungry people in the world. Which celebrity patron left a most memorable impression on you? Alec Baldwin. I was a bus boy at 75 main years ago, and he was a customer. I did not know who he was, but they told me he was a famous actor. I had a conversation with him, and he told me I will own this restaurant one day. Here I am. If you could have anyone eat at your restaurant, living or dead, who would you choose?

While Zach told me he would love to have his own children one day, for now, he has a cat he loves very much. As for marriage, Zach believes this formality that can carry unnecessary expense and risk, so he rather just share his life with someone he enjoys without the strings attached.

he Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation’s 13th Annual Unconditional Love Gala returned to the Hamptons on a beautiful evening on storied Gin Lane in Southampton, NY. The grand soiree was among the highlights of the summer season out East. Chaired by Jean Shafiroff, the event honored Jonathan McCann, founding President of SASF and William Bratton, former Police Commissioner of New York City. The Honorary Chair was Georgina Bloomberg. The annual event has been the most important fundraiser for the shelter for over a decade featuring a reception, seated dinner and dancing. In addition, a live and silent auction helped raise much-needed funds for the animals.
