Fall Guide Welcome Fall tends to sneak up on Vermont each year. One day the air conditioners are blasting and you can’t get enough ice in your glass to keep it cool. The next you’re pulling the quilt back out of the closet and are once again clutching the coffee mug for warmth. While it’s easy to feel sad about the shortening days and the browning gardens, there is something refreshing and frank about fall that makes it feel like the most characteristic of Vermont’s four distinct seasons. Long summer days are past and cold weather is coming. It’s harvest season; hunting season; slaughtering season.

Bloom and Doom: Visual Expressions and Reform in Vienna 1900

Post Pop: Prints of Keith Haring

September 6–December 11, 2016 “To each age its art, to art its freedom.â€? This proclamation emblazoned across the façade of the Viennese Secession Building encapsulates the artistic search for what constituted the modern at the turn of the twentieth century in Vienna. Co-curated by Assistant Professor of History of Art and Architecture Erin Sassin and the students in her spring 2016 course “Bloom and Doom: Visual Expressions and Reform in Vienna circa 1900,â€? this exhibition features works by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, along with prints, drawings, and posters created by other members of the Viennese Secession. Bloom and Doom illuminates how these individuals challenged the artistic and social establishment by rejecting the traditional academic system and turning to new means of expression, often attempting to Egon Schiele, 49th reunify art and life in a “total work of art,â€? before giving into cultural Secession Exhibition Poster, 1918, colored lithograph, pessimism and withdrawing from public life. 26 ! x 21 inches.

As part of this three-year initiative, the Foundation has made works from its large collection of German and Austrian art available to Middlebury students and faculty so that a class taught in the spring semester would have a chance to work directly with the art and have a voice in the curation of an exhibition to open the following fall. Students were intrinsically involved in the planning of this exhibition, from devising the layout and color scheme to drafting wall labels. The students also curated a digital exhibition entitled “Virtual Vienna,â€? which will allow visitors to explore the relationship between the built environment of Vienna circa 1900 and the larger artistic and cultural scene.

Apartheid and cold war tensions exist in tandem with breakdancing, MTV, and the outbreak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Haring’s work is a witness to these times, but is also informed by the artist’s serious interest in semiotics—the study of signs and symbols—and by a solid knowledge of art history. This exhibition of 43 prints in a variety of sizes covers the full range of Haring’s graphic work. It includes silkscreens and lithographs as well as an unusual set of etchings illustrating a text by Burroughs.

Homestead hops

BY GAEN MURPHREE STARKSBORO — It’s a golden early fall day. Across from the beaver pond along a stretch of Route 17 where it snakes toward the spine of the Green Mountains stand two acres of trellises, each row as high as a house. Twirling up 18-foot lengths of twine, 2,000 hop plants reach toward the sun, laden with cones (the name for those blossoms that make beer taste so good to some). Nearby, the University of Vermont Hops Project’s new HopHarvester chugs away, demonstrating how easily the machine strips the cones off the bines. As the machine keeps chugging, a clear, lemony scent spikes through the air.

But for Homestead Hops growers Kelly and Kathleen Norris it’s not just any beautiful GD\ 7KLV LV WKH 1RUULVHV· ÀUVW KDUYHVW RII WKHLU new hopyard, laboriously and meticulously installed two years ago. The couple have invested more than $100,000 in expanding their Starksboro acreage into this new venture. With this fall’s harvest, they will begin to see how much more it will take to make it a commercial success. “Before we planted, a lot of the responses from brewers were basically, ‘Talk to me when you have something to sell. Show us the product, and then we’ll think about buying it,’” said Kelly Norris.

But by late July, the bines were going strong. ART AND SCIENCE As with any crop, there is an art and a science to different aspects of hop growing, especially harvesting. “If you walk up to them and smell them and they smell kind of grassy, they’re not ready yet. If you walk up to them and they smell kind of oniony and garlicky, they might be a little too far gone,â€? Kathleen described. Alongside the feel and smell of the cones, growers test for “dry matter,â€? which means they harvest a handful, dry them, and then weigh what’s dried. One hundred grams fresh picked should yield 23 grams dry ideally, if the crop is ready, said Kelly. Along with their demonstrated capacity for hard work, the pair each take on different tasks, according to ability. Kelly had worked previously as a FDUSHQWHU DQG LQ KHDWLQJ DQG DLU FRQGLWLRQLQJ +H FDOOV KLPVHOI D ´MDFN RI all trades,â€? but like Vermont’s blacksmiths of old, he’s at heart an engineer and inventor. Putting these skills to use, he’s designed and built different, LQWULFDWH SLHFHV RI WKH 1RUULV¡V KRSV HTXLSPHQW For example, a critical stage in the hops harvest is to dry and then bag or bale the cones after harvesting.

He’s also at work — and has a nearby machine shop working on parts for — designing and building his own baler.
