The seeds of this summer’s exhibition at Tinworks Art go back to the spring of 1982, when conceptual artist Agnes Denes planted 2 acres of wheat on top of a landfill in lower Manhattan. For four months, New Yorkers watched as the wheat grew, turning from green to gold and creating a dramatic contrast to the city skyline. Denes called the piece, “Wheatfield: A Confrontation,” a “powerful paradox.”
In the history of art and especially of ecological and land-based art, Denes’ piece is iconic, Jenny Moore, the director of Bozeman-based Tinworks Art, said on Tuesday. When in talks with the organization’s board about her position and asked for ideas for future exhibitions, “Wheatfield” was the first place Moore’s mind traveled.
“When I think about Montana and the kind of art and images that live in my mind, one of the first things I came to was Agnes’ ‘Wheatfield’ and understanding the dynamics of a growing Bozeman and the loss of agricultural land in the region,” Moore said.
Now, Moore said, the organization is “very honored” that Denes accepted the invitation to reimagine the work. Denes’ “Wheatfield — An Inspiration. The seed is in the ground” is the centerpiece of this summer’s Tinworks Art exhibition “The Lay of the Land,” on view from June 15 through Oct. 19. An opening celebration is Saturday, June 15, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Tinworks Art, 719 N. Ida Ave. in Bozeman.
In the summer 1992 edition of Art Journal, Denes wrote about “Wheatfield: A Confrontation” and outlined the idea for “Tree Mountain,” a piece that would be dedicated in Finland in 1996. Art, she explained, lives beyond our ideas of art and can and should incorporate elements we may not consider “art” to achieve a vision.

Patton Oswalt has been a lot of things in his entertainment career, but a game show host hasn’t been one of them … until now.
The comedian and actor has played many different professions in television and movie roles, but he’s currently very much himself as he presides over Fox’s new Monday competition “The 1% Club,” also available to stream on Prime Video. In the show, that’s based on a format being used internationally, Primetime Emmy and Grammy winner Oswalt poses questions to players who have to prove they’re in the top percentage of those who can avoid wrong answers to focus on the right ones. Episodes are also available on Prime Video.
Oswalt is no stranger to TV games from the other side, having been a contestant on ABC’s “Celebrity Jeopardy!” and earning $250,000 for charity by placing second in a tournament last year. He’s also known for the stand-up comedy specials he’s done for such outlets as Comedy Central and Netflix, but his acting roles have covered a range of projects and characters.
Seen recently in the movie “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” Oswalt started his big-screen work with “Down Periscope” in 1996 and proceeded through such other films as the acclaimed drama “Magnolia” (1999) and the comedies “Starsky and Hutch” (2004) and “22 Jump Street” (2014). He also has been in the voice casts of animated efforts including “Ratatouille” (2007) and “The Secret Life of Pets 2” (2019).
As for Oswalt’s other TV work, he has been a writer as well as an actor (Fox’s “MADtv” being a notable example), and he has appeared in recent years on such shows as ABC’s “The Conners,” HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.” He starred in the NBC school sitcom “A.P. Bio,” and he had a standout role — actually, four of them — by playing quadruplets on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” during its ABC run.
Now, Oswalt has the television part he knows better than any other: himself. And as he “plays” it, the contestants he quizzes are hoping to cash in on it.

BY JAY BOBBINIf anything was a sure bet at the box office at the time, it was “Frozen II.”
The original, animated 2013 movie was that sort of serendipity any studio wishes for ... even Disney, which doesn’t always have its expectations met. The company wanted to make sure its best foot was put forward on a “Frozen” sequel, which is why it took six years. Freeform shows “Frozen II” Saturday, June 22, right after — appropriately enough — the first “Frozen.”
The care shows in the storytelling, so the 2019 follow-up wasn’t just a money grab … though Disney very happily grabbed a lot of money from it. Voiced again by Idina Menzel, Elsa has returns to her kingdom (or make that queendom) after getting her power to freeze under control. She’s still haunted by elements of her past, though, and she believes she might be able to change the fates of some of her ancestors. Thus, she and her sister Anna (again sporting Kristen Bell’s voice) set off on that quest.
Of course, snowman Olaf also is along, with Josh Gad’s vocals giving him the now-expected dose of attitude. In fact, the entire voice cast is well-chosen, with fellow Broadway veterans Jonathan Groff and Santino Fontana also back, and “This Is Us” alum Sterling K. Brown making a significant contribution in a new role. There’s no “Let It Go” on the soundtrack this time, though that tune does get a reprise, but the included songs are appropriate and catchy enough.
A second act for a movie franchise always is dicey, since history bears out that so few sequels live up to (and, indeed, don’t diminish) the original. It was particularly critical for Disney to ensure that didn’t happen with “Frozen II,” and not only for the financial health of that project itself.
Its arrival in theaters roughly coincided with the launch of the streaming service Disney+, so it was incumbent on the company – which clearly wanted potential subscribers to see in every way that the Disney magic was intact. “Frozen II” was not a minor element of that, so in that sense, mission accomplished.
Such a massive legion of fans was waiting for “Frozen II,” its makers knew there was no option but to get it right. They did, and since then, the wait has been on for “Frozen III” ... and at this point, that “threequel” is expected to arrive in 2026. In the meantime, Freeform’s double bill of the first two chapters should comfort quite a few people.

BY JAY BOBBINQ: Will the season-ending cliffhanger that involved Vanessa Lachey’s character on “NCIS: Hawai’i” ever be resolved?
A: Apparently not, unless the now-canceled CBS show’s producers reveal (if they even thought that far ahead) what was planned via other avenues. The Season 3 conclusion was filmed before the network made its decision not to renew the series, so what you saw was what you got … not only in the case of that episode, but for the show as a whole.
ON CBS/PARAMOUNT+
Lachey was quite emotional in discussing the end of the program in social-media posts she made, saying that she was “gutted, confused (and) blindsided” by the cancellation notice, which denied the show’s cast and crew (who worked on location in the islands making the series) the opportunity for an official goodbye party. Much attention had been paid to the fact that Lachey’s Jane Tennant was the first female leader of an NCIS team in the franchise, and the actress stated, “This show has meant so much to me.”
While “NCIS: Hawai’i” also ran on Paramount+, and some CBS shows have moved to that streaming service to finish out their runs (“SEAL Team” and “Evil” being among examples), the high price tag of the location filming in this case likely was too prohibitive.
There still will be another “NCIS” drama besides the parent series on CBS in the forthcoming season: the new “NCIS: Origins,” which will focus on the younger years of the Leroy Jethro Gibbs character. Original portrayer Mark Harmon (also an executive producer) will narrate the show, but the central role will be played by Austin Stowell. Paramount+ also has “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” coming, reuniting stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo.
“The Grey” (June 16)
In Alaska, a team of oil workers board a flight home; however, they cross a storm and the airplane crashes. Only seven workers survive in the wilderness and John Ottway (Liam Neeson), who is a skilled huntsman, assumes leadership of the group, leading them to safety through the hostile landscape.

Krysten Ritter, Keeley Hawes, Amanda Fix, Avan Jogia, Rya Kihlstedt and James Hiroyuki Liao star.

Directed by Brian De Palma, the 1996 picture also involves veteran operative Jim Phelps (played here by Jon Voight) plus a Hunt ally portrayed by Ving Rhames, who became a constant player in the “Mission” movies.

The 2024 Major League Baseball season continues as the storied rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox plays out on the field Sunday, June 16, at Fenway Park in Boston. Both teams are battling for top spot in the American League East, with the Yankees currently leading the division. The game airs live on ESPN.
The Yankees, led by manager Aaron Boone, have been a force this season. With a good mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars, they have one of the most well-rounded teams in the league.
One player fans will certainly be watching is Yankees outfielder Juan Soto, who has been a standout and consistent performer in 2024. Acquired in a blockbuster trade during the off-season, Soto has fit seamlessly into the Yankees lineup, providing a major boost to their offensive firepower.
Statistically, Soto has been a powerhouse this season, hitting .311 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs over 48 games, while his on-base percentage (.411) and slugging percentage (.552) have made him a well-rounded threat of power and consistency at the plate this season. His discipline and clutch hitting have made him a fan favorite and a key contributor to the Yankees’ already impressive 2024 campaign.
The Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, are currently in fourth place in the AL East. Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been the standout player this year, hitting .284 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs, leading the team with a .948 OPS.
This game is not just another entry into the longstanding Yankees-Red Sox rivalry but a key matchup for both teams. As the Yankees look to extend their strong hold on the AL East, the Red Sox will be desperate to gain ground and continue their push for playoff contention.
FACTS
Full name: Juan Jose Soto Pacheco
Birthdate: Oct. 28, 1998 (25)
Birthplace: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

“The new role of the artist may be to create an art that is more than decoration, commodity, or political tool,” she stated. “It is an art that questions the status quo and the direction life has taken, the endless contradictions we accept and approve. An art that elicits and initiates thinking processes has the power to make statements with universal validity and thus benefit humanity.”
A QR code on a sign by the field leads to a questionnaire, itself a conceptual work aptly titled “Questionnaire,” where the artist seeks a “glance at humanity’s mindset in the year 2024.”
“Do you believe art can influence our thinking, to rethink our priorities and values?” and “What do you think will prove ultimately more important for humanity — science or compassion?”
In conversations with Denes, who is now 93, Moore said the artist was drawn to the Montana project in part because of Tinworks itself. Not too long ago, the arts organization’s space was once a complex of industrial shops slated to be torn down. When Tinworks Art was founded in 2019, the complex on North Ida Avenue was supposed to be temporary.
“But in fact,” Moore said, “the art took hold and the energy of the artists using this space took hold.”
By 2022, Tinworks Art started to consider the site its long-term home. This year, improvements to the space underscore that point. The exterior of Tinworks’ various buildings have been painted a deep cerulean. A new entryway leads patrons into reoriented gallery spaces. And at the rear of the complex, in

There is also a new space for Wills Brewer, this year’s artist in residence, to explore his art. He’s been working on new ceramic forms, counteracting the soft curves with their spiky anthesis.
Much of this summer’s exhibition, “The Lay of the Land” examines the intersection of the natural and the industrial. Inside the building, Lucy Raven’s works seem to be giant landscapes of the southwestern United States, with a series of mesas fading off into the distance.
