Mister Sister paolo arao | acrylic, colored pencil, sewn cotton and canvas | 2018

hen artist Paolo Arao sees color, he hears music. Call it synesthesia, but it probably relates more to his former life as a classical pianist. As a Navy brat, Arao’s family moved from the Philippines, where he was born, to Hawaii, then Florida, eventually settling in Virginia. “Growing up and knowing I would only live in a certain place for a specific amount of time, it was hard for me to make friends,” Arao says. “So, I spent many hours just playing piano.” With a scholarship to Virginia Commonwealth University, Arao was on track to become a performer and composer. However, his curiosity for visual art blossomed in college, and he made the switch to a BFA in painting. “I was drawn to geometric abstraction because I saw some similarities with music,” he says. “Structure and color and form and rhythm—I was able to see it through the lens of music with harmonies and dissonances.” Yet finding a way to harmoniously represent his queer identity fostered an even deeper curiosity. After graduation and a residency at the Vermont Studio Center, Arao moved to Brooklyn. Initially without a studio and limited space to paint, he began sketching self-portraits and homoerotic drawings with charcoal. He was offered a showcase, and dove into an unexpected decade-long career as a charcoal artist. “I was getting pigeon-holed making these gay drawings, and I wanted to get back into painting. I was trying to think of ways to represent my queer identity without depicting the body. But how can you do that through abstraction?” Enter Mister Sister, the marriage of sewn textiles, acrylic, and colored pencil that graces this month’s cover. It’s not obvious there are queer motivations upon initial viewing, though the title—coincidentally sharing the name of one of Vermont’s first gay bars, and where the painting was made during Arao’s second residency at the Vermont Studio Center earlier this year—provides a helpful layer. Here, along with the other paintings he’ll be exhibiting at Beacon’s Mother Gallery mid-July, Arao explores the paradoxes of both queer formalism and geometric abstraction. While much of his work is based on the rigidity of the grid, Arao plays around these restrictions. By using textiles, he softens the geometry; by stretching the canvas, he distorts it; by finding odd color combinations, he goes along with—and against—the system. Arao’s profoundly intimate creations are echoed by their small size, appropriately inviting the viewer to take one step closer and examine these complicated relationships beyond formalizations. “I like seeing how certain colors aggravate each other, and addressing that—and my own personal—tension. It’s like going back to music with dissonant and harmonic tones. I see these colors and textiles trying to create balance out of imbalance.” “Good Vibrations,” featuring works by Paolo Arao, Angela Heisch, and Ryan Reggiani will be exhibited from July 14 through August 18 at Mother Gallery in Beacon, with an opening reception on July 14 from 6-10pm.

Hudson River Paddle Makes a Splash THE GLAMPING OF PADDLING

here is nothing quite like traveling on the Hudson River. Even if you’ve driven, walked, hiked, and biked the region for years, touring by kayak offers a new perspective—secret nooks, sweeping mountain vistas, and direct contact with the waterway that defines the Hudson Valley. From August 1-5, you’ll have a rare opportunity to get to know the Hudson River in style with the Hudson River Paddle, sponsored by Hudson River Valley Greenway. This 75-mile kayaking and camping guided excursion will wend its way down from Albany to Poughkeepsie. The trip is fully supported, with catered meals, tent set-up, and gear provided—think of it as the glamping of paddling. The Hudson River Greenway Water Trail The Hudson River Greenway Water Trail is a 256-mile navigable waterway extending from northern Saratoga County in the Adirondack Park and northern Washington County at the head of Lake Champlain, to Battery Park in Manhattan. With over 100 access sites along the Hudson River, the trail is easily accessible for local and visiting paddlers of all levels. For nearly a decade, from 2001 to 2010, kayakers converged on our region every summer for the Great Hudson River Paddle, an intense 10-day paddling and camping adventure, sponsored by Hudson River Valley Greenway (HRVG). The event brought paddlers from around the world and shined a spotlight on the region’s natural beauty. After a multiyear hiatus, in 2017, HRVG was awarded a grant to relaunch the Paddle. Over the next three years, the organization will partner with Hudson River Expeditions, a Cold Spring-based firm, to offer a rejuvenated Paddle experience. 36 COMMUNITY PAGES CHRONOGRAM 7/18

By Marie Doyon

“With renewed energy and a great, experienced partner, the Hudson River Paddle should prove once again to a memory-making adventure for all participants,” says Scott Keller, Acting Executive Director for HRVG. A Deluxe Paddling Experience A couple major changes have been made to the Paddle excursion. First off— it’s all-inclusive. That means you can leave your bulky kit, equipment, and headaches at home. Hudson River Expeditions will provide trained guides, kayaking equipment, tents, cots, and even camping furniture for a fun, easy experience. After you get off the water every day, meals will be prepared for you by two local chefs from the Beacon-based restaurant Stock Up. “The Paddle will be a logistical breeze for participants,” says Brian Grahn, owner of Hudson River Expeditions. “They just have to get to where we put in with a sleeping bag, clothes, and personal items. We take care of the rest.” The length of the trip has also been shortened to encourage increased participation. This year’s paddle runs from August 1-5, beginning in Albany and paddling down to Poughkeepsie—a five-day, 75-mile journey. Along the way, the armada of kayakers will stop in Coeymans, Athens, Saugerties, and Kingston. In the afternoon and evening, there will be ample time allotted to explore these beautiful and historic towns and relax along the waterfront with local community members and fellow paddlers. “We feel this is more than just a kayak trip,” says Grahn. “It is a chance for people to explore the great communities found along the Hudson River. Registration for The Great Hudson River paddle costs $1,999 per participant and includes a tent, catered meals, kayak, paddle, and personal flotation device. Registration closes on July 15 and is limited to 30 kayakers. Hudsonriverpaddle.com.

Rowing Together Poughkeepsie’s new tourists and residents have a lot more to discover once the Walkway has drawn them there.The monthly First Friday celebrations that began two years ago have swelled into raucous parties that highlight the city’s culinary and cultural offerings. The series began at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, itself a longtime cultural fixture that, like the founded-in-1785 Poughkeepsie Journal, has seen the city through numerous ups and downs. And the tireless work that Hudson River Housing has done for decades to provide affordable housing and spur community development recently resulted in what is arguably Poughkeepsie’s most innovative project yet: A 22,000-square-foot former underwear factory a block off of Main Street that was transformed into a mixed-use development with affordable housing, offices, and a commercial kitchen. But the Underwear Factory project also highlights one of the city’s challenges. It’s hard to find fault with anything going on inside: The Art Effect, a new cultural organization created in the merger of the Spark Project and the Mill Street Lofts, provides innovative arts educational projects for children and adults alike. North River Roasters, on the bottom floor, serves as a coffee roaster, coffee shop, and shared-use commercial kitchen and hosts Earth, Wind & Fuego: a healthy, locally sourced, food-justice-minded eatery. You could happily spend an entire day there, drinking damn good coffee and eating fantastic food, as I have done in the past and will continue to do in the future. And yet at a recent community event in Poughkeepsie, a table of lifelong residents, all of whom were women of color, told me that they felt that the Underwear Factory project was “not for them.” Their wariness is understandable. It might be a new day in Poughkeepsie, but it comes at the end of a long night for the locals, who have withstood decades of redlining, misguided urban renewal projects, reductions in public bus service, and public housing being put in areas that cut them off from the rest of the city. With new development projects being planned, including one for the city’s waterfront, Poughkeepsie finds itself trying to make sure that its newfound momentum includes everyone. Fortunately, activists who have been speaking out for years find themselves now joined by like-minded citizens who are responding to the current political climate by becoming aware and engaged, as well as a city government who is now willing to listen. “Everyone is rowing together so that we can create a more equitable approach to what we’d like to see,” said City Councilmember Sarah Salem. “We have more people involved now, in every facet of the community. That’s what’s going to make the change.”

A Change is Gonna Come The change is building, and it’s spilling over to the towns just outside of Poughkeepsie, sometimes in surprising ways. Consider that for Record Store Day this year, legendary New York City DJs Large Professor and Rob Swift led a crew up to the Hudson Valley to rip a set in…not Beacon, or Newburgh, or Kingston. But the tiny, storybook village of Wappingers Falls, at a new record store/craft beer pub/community gathering spot called the Vinyl Room, which opened in the city’s miniscule downtown last year. Wappingers Falls has always been beautiful, with its namesake waterfall, exquisite park in the center of town, and its library that looks like it sprang from the pages of a Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale. But it’s never been hip. It’s never tried to be hip. It’s been where people who happily stopped caring about the whole idea of hip go to proudly eat unfussy yet profoundly satisfying pizzas at the Wagon Wheel, or enjoy a rosé on the patio of the di’Vine Wine Bar at sunset. And yet here was Rob Swift, breaking mikes and wrecking turntables. Here is County Fare, an artisanal gastropub with fancy cocktails and a brunch menu that single-handedly redeems the entire concept of brunch. And in the forever empty storefronts on West Main Street between the County Players at the Falls Theater (in its 60th season of presenting community theater,) and the Ground Hog coffee shop (one of the few places in the Hudson Valley where Southern expats can find Cheerwine,) brown paper is finally up in the windows, logos are being stenciled on doors, and a new row of boutique shops and eateries are on the way. Chicken Wings and Sake Head north of Poughkeepsie to Hyde Park, long known for its historic mansions, its legacies of Roosevelts and Vanderbilts and its drive-in movies every summer at the Overlook. It’s long been gleefully stuck in the past, and yet in a collaboration with the nearby Culinary Institute of America, a shuttered Stop & Shop in Hyde Park is about to become the first sake factory on the East Coast, opened by the Asahi Shuzo Company. When the factory opens next year, it will not only be capable of brewing over 330,000 gallons of sake a year, but will also be open to the public for tastings and Japanese food as well, continuing Hyde Park’s transformation into a culinary destination for curious gourmands. An abandoned grocery store becoming an oasis of authentic Japanese culture may seem like an unlikely transformation. But then again so does an old railway trestle igniting a city’s cultural renaissance, or Mista Sinista dropping breakbeats into Black Sheep joints on a Saturday night in Wappingers Falls. Or a pub in a nondescript shopping plaza occasionally putting alligator or kangaroo on the menu. The latter can be found in the aptly named hamlet of Pleasant Valley, located to the east of Poughkeepsi (population barely over a thousand), whose “downtown” features a graveyard, a place to get horse feed, and a few minimalls. One of those mini-malls contains Publick House 23, an adventurous eatery where Bronx-style chopped cheese sandwiches share tables with red wine burgers, char-grilled heads of romaine lettuce, and possibly the best chicken wings in the Hudson Valley. You could drive by it a thousand times without noticing it. But if the lessons of Poughkeepsie’s Arterial have taught us anything, it’s that sometimes the most innovative and vital things being done in the Hudson Valley happen just beyond the viewshed of the major roads, out of reach of the town centers, or in the warren of streets below an old railroad trestle, where freshly made cannolis and biscotti are laid out in display cases as a city wakes from a long slumber.

Nothing but the Sun

HYPER-LOCAL, PASSIVE SOLAR IN STONE RIDGE by Mary Angeles Armstrong photos by Deborah DeGraffenreid

f any type of building embodies the American ethos of independence and provides a practical blueprint for throwing off the chains of energy dependency, it’s passive solar design. Popular in Europe and gaining traction in the United States, passive solar construction incorporates specific siting, the innovative use of materials, and deceptively simple building techniques to create habitats that, when it comes to energy consumption, sip rather than guzzle. With the addition of solar panels, a passive solar building can effectively reduce its need for additional fuel sources and its carbon emissions to zero. The challenge of not only building a home that meets this high bar of energy independence, but does it specifically within the Hudson Valley’s particular micro-environment, and in a way that is affordable, is one that Peter Reynolds and Stephanie Bassler of North River Architecture and Planning in Stone Ridge have taken on with passion. In fact, they’ve thrown down the gauntlet. With the planning and recent construction of Reynolds’s modernist, barn-inspired home, they’ve created a dwelling that’s not only rigorously sustainable, but also beautiful, adaptable, and warm, both in temperature and invitation. Inspired by a range of design philosophies—from ecologist Stewart Brand’s How Buildings Learn:What Happens After They’re Built to the utilitarian, simplicity of the Shakers—Reynolds and Bassler have constructed a model for the present moment. 40 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 7/18

The STATE of the MARKET As the tide of people moving to the Hudson Valley continues to swell, the effects are seen in many ways—Main Streets revitalized, restaurants opened, businesses launched. The real estate market, too, reflects the change, having transitioned from a buyer’s market, where housing stock was plentiful, to a tight seller’s market, where multiple offers abound and the competition may be fierce between buyers. “There are a lot of very uncomfortable buyers and sellers. It’s a new market situation. It hasn’t been like this in over a decade,” says Harris Safier, former CEO of Westwood Metes & Bounds (now Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices–Hudson Valley Properties). “A full price offer is no longer a guarantee. The seller might have a dozen or so people lined up to see the house, so they will want to hear from everyone before making a decision.” With 41 years of real estate experience under his belt, Safier offers advice for securing a house in this competitive climate.

The North River Architecture team enjoys a break outside with Jay Philippi of Eileen Fisher. In keeping with the project’s sustainable design goals, the outdoor patio was landscaped according to xeriscaping principles of native plantings and minimal maintenance. Opposite, top: Peter Reynolds at the south-facing end of his passive solar house. Inspired by his love for the region and the environment, the architect and his partners at North River Architecture built a home on the cutting edge of sustainability. The shading roof overhang and other details were carefully calibrated with the help of passive house consultant John Loercher of Northeast Projects LLC. Solar panels from Lighthouse Solar generate enough power to make it a Net Zero Energy home. (And even power his car.) Opposite, bottom: Throughout the house, oak finishes installed by local craftsmen Lee Sahler and Brandon Pra offer a warm counterpoint to the concrete slab floors and a marble and walnut table created by Hudson Workshop.

The partners are thinking globally but pioneering some bold, local strategies. Part of a movement of architects and engineers who share their findings in an open-source format, Reynolds and Bassler executed the actual construction with a local workforce, utilizing mostly American made or recycled materials, and kept the cost of Reynolds’ home within 10 percent of standard construction. “We think this is passive solar’s time,” declares Reynolds. “We really see it as a 21st-century way to build and design and we are really pulling along with everybody else to do it.” Architecture of Freedom The partners’ first experience with passive solar construction was in 2010, when they were hired by the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck. With a wideranging practice designing both residential and public buildings (Reynolds has been practicing architecture in the area for 30 years; Bassler for 10), they had already executed several projects to the high LEED standard for energy efficiency. Passive solar design seemed like a natural next step. “Omega had a concurrent interest to ours in passive design and were interested in a certified project. They came to us already committed,” explains Bassler. She was interested in learning more about the building technique and underwent the intensive training required to oversee the project, becoming certified as a passive house consultant.

1. Use a knowledgeable buyer’s agent who has the experience to a handle multiple offer situations. The skill of the buyer’s agent can make the difference in getting the house or not. 2. At the beginning of your search, ask your agent about the state of the market, multiple offer scenarios, and tips for being successful at acquiring a house in this climate. 3. When you’ve found a property you love with multiple offers on it, ask your agent to find out what, if anything, besides price is important to the seller. (Sometimes it’s a cash offer, the date of a closing, waiving an appraisal, or delayed occupancy.) Learning the seller’s plans might help you hit their “sweet spot.” 4. “Pending” is not the same as “Sold.” When a property is marked as “pending,” a skilled buyer’s agent will find out the exact state of a transaction and explain all the possible scenarios to their client. Some buyers choose to be aggressive, making an offer when one has already been accepted or when entering a bidding war. In either case, your agent should offer tips which might help the seller view you most favorably. Other buyers may choose to back away. It should always be up to you, the client, to decide how to proceed. A good buyer’s agent provides all the information so you can make your best choice. After July 1, 2018

Top: To keep costs low, and to stay true to the project’s focus on sustainability, Reynolds utilized a cork backsplash, bright blue cabinetry, and wood trim that were leftover from another project. The custom arched black walnut dining table was built by Hudson Workshop. Bottom: Reynolds installed pocket doors throughout the house. Maximizing the flow of light, heat, and air, they also allow the rooms to easily change from openness to privacy. An east-facing window at the main bedroom offers an additional view of the surrounding woods.

The architects and Omega were very pleased with the resulting building, the Women’s Leadership Center, and the partners began to realize that passive construction was the next step in energy-efficient home design. “Passive house design, compared with other efficiency protocols, has the most impact,” explains Reynolds. “It goes far beyond LEED. It’s truly effective for the individual homeowner, and has a quantifiable impact on global emissions. It allows individuals to reduce their footprint in a simple way.” Still, there were a few issues keeping passive construction a novelty, rather than a pervasive, building trend. Passive construction utilizes a few basic strategies to achieve its high standard of energy efficiency. By relying on a tightly sealed, insulated exterior “envelop,” the home’s interior temperature can remain constant with minimal energy loss. Specially glazed triple-paned windows not only illuminate the interior but also trap the sun’s heat— however, until recently, windows of this type weren’t manufactured in the US and their import and utilization added to the cost of construction exponentially. Reynolds believes the previous designs of most passive houses further added to their lack of popularity. “Up to now passive house design has been either very expensive or kind of engineer-y and optimized and not so beautiful,” says Reynolds. Professionals as well as consumers just weren’t aware of the techniques and the possibilities of the construction method. It didn’t help that passive solar had had a false start in the US during its early days. “In the `70s, they didn’t quite get it right,” Reynolds explains. “The mistakes that were made really set the movement back.” The first passive houses were too tightly sealed, allowing condensation to form inside the walls and causing irreparable structural damage. “The passive solar movement went through an in-between period, when we didn’t really understand humidity control and we would trap a lot of moisture in the walls. It made the houses sick,” Reynolds says. 42 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 7/18

Nobody knows outdoor living like Michael’s. 585 EAST MAIN ST., MIDDLETOWN, NY MICHAELSAPPLIANCE.COM | 845-342-0369

An abundance of south-facing, triple-glazed windows in the double-height living room fills the home with light and capture heat in the winter. They also offer a view of the Shawangunks—brining the outdoors inside throughout the year.

Not your Grandfather’s Passive Solar Reynolds and Bassler knew they would have to come up with some innovative solutions if they were going to realize their dream of seeing affordable, livable passive solar homes throughout the land. And Reynolds had the perfect guinea pig: himself. “I needed a house anyway,” he explains. The opportunity to utilize his architectural experience to create a home that expressed his environmental and political concerns, and was also flexible, private, healthy and “had some wow,” was motivating. “I wanted to have an emotionally alive house that was both energy efficient and affordable,” says Reynolds. First came choosing the right site. “We wanted to try to find that sweet spot for this climate and this region and this vernacular,” he explains.The home needed to be facing south to take full advantage of the sun’s light, but the choice of the land itself was also part of the team’s reduce-reuse-recycle ethos. Inspired by philosopher Christopher Alexander’s book A Pattern Language and his ideas of site repair, Reynolds had bought up three-plus acres outside of Stone Ridge. Once the bank of an old shale mine, the property was undeveloped but “completely junked,” says Reynolds. “It looked like a lunar landscape.” It was one of the worst pieces of land he could find but he knew with a properly design home, it could be not only beautiful, but beautifully utilized. (He also preserved the land’s few deciduous trees to help with the home’s shading throughout the summer.) To prove that their ideas could be replicated, and by almost any professional with standard training in the building trades, the partners hired local workers and focused on utilizing conventional methods in unconventional ways. Translating the complex technology into simple building techniques was one of the biggest challenges—and greatest rewards. “To take these intense technologies that we wanted to execute—taking the big concepts and simplifying them— that was the real fun,” says Bassler.

One of the home’s two bedrooms. Super insulated “rain-screen” walls allow the home’s temperature to remain constant and the air flowing and comfortable throughout the year.

In the living room, Reynolds displays fabric wall art pieces by DesignWork, a zerowaste art project crafted from recycled Eileen Fisher clothing. Eileen Fisher served as a consultant on the project. The home’s arched cork acoustical ceiling was installed by local craftsman Lee Sahler.

Reynolds installed an outdoor shower in a secluded spot behind the house. Corrugated steel siding is a durable, maintenance-free exterior finish, and blends well with the surrounding landscape.

Self-Reliance The home’s structure is simple and economic: a rectangular footprint built on leftover shale grade with an extruded roof. Inside, a concrete slab floor extends throughout the 1800 square feet of space. Designed to capture the warmth emanating through the home’s south facing windows, the floor retains the sun’s heat through the colder months. Inside the larger rectangle, the space is divided into three 24-foot squares of living space. An open kitchen, guest bedroom, and office forms one wing of the house; a master bedroom suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet forms the other. In the center, a two-story open living space looks through a south-facing wall of triple-paned, glazed glass. Sliding pocket doors separate the three living spaces, allowing for privacy when needed or giving the home an informal studio-type feel when left open. Throughout the home the team used a combination of new material and remnants from previous projects. This simplicity of design and tendency to recycle translated directly into cost savings and allowed the team to keep the home’s construction costs competitive with other homes on the market. True to that spirit of simplicity and versatility, the interior design allows the home to adapt and grow with Reynolds’s changing needs. Above each wing of the house, Reynolds allowed for extra space and framed a staircase near the home’s entrance. Now utilized for storage, the second story of the eastern and western wings could be attached by a catwalk, to create two extra bedrooms if needed.

The home’s corrugated metal exterior hides sophisticated walls. “Despite their simplicity, passive house walls are technically very carefully assembled so that they can dry in two directions,” explains Reynolds. To head off potential moisture and rot, Reynolds and Bassler incorporated “rain screen walls” with open ventilation channels to allow air to naturally flow throughout. Cellulose insulation, created from recycled shredded newspaper, keeps the home’s temperature constant while allowing for air circulation. While it was professional and personal goals that originally motivated Reynolds, he’s been rewarded with a home that’s supremely comfortable. “I’ve been through eight months now and the temperature remains very even, comfortable and cozy—one of the best parts of living in the house is watching the seasons move through,” he explains. Above, the metal roof is entirely covered in solar panels. Reynolds’s home is still connected to the grid, but he generates the majority of the power he needs—to heat, to cool, to run his appliances, and even to power his plug-in Chevy Volt—from the panels on his roof and some smart design. Reynolds isn’t giving up his castle of sunlight anytime soon. However, he and Bassler emphasize that everything they’ve done is available to anyone who is ready for modern, energy-independent design, right here in the Hudson Valley. “We aren’t doing anything exotic,” Reynolds explains. “It’s the exact opposite of that—it’s really local knowledge, local sensitivity to climate, local materials and skills, and local self-reliance.” Bassler adds, “It will be great to talk to you in 20 years, when everyone is building passive houses.”

The Next Chapter For over four decades, Westwood Metes & Bounds has served the Ulster County real estate market. Over the last two years, I’ve been seeking a succession plan for the company and myself as the CEO. I’m thrilled to say I found a perfect fit. As of July 1, Westwood will be assimilated into the Hudson Valley’s most accomplished agency, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices– Hudson Valley Properties. Merging into this company, which is headquartered in LaGrangeville, was the best way for Westwood to move forward with integrity, given their established strength, consistent top performance status, and geographic placement. The new company, with its combined 13 offices and 300+ sales professionals, will be the most accomplished powerhouse of the entire mid-Hudson Valley region. Our agents will continue to work under the new company name, and I will have an executive leadership role for Ulster County. I’m very much looking forward to working directly with more seller and buyer clients, as I fully intend to work another decade for the company. I anticipate having great satisfaction helping sellers and buyers with 41 years of real experience. I’m just leaving the big policy-making decisions, and planning to new visionaries and great leaders. I’m truly thankful for my associates and that Westwood’s history and core values will live on at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hudson Valley Properties. Yours, Harris Safier Licensed Associate RE Broker hsafier@bhhshudsonvalley.com

Specialties to Your Door Horticulturists on Mail Ordering Plants By Michelle Sutton Photos by Larry Decker Left: Lady Slipper Orchid; right: Jack-in-the-Pulpit. If buying native plants, make sure they're ethically sourced.

he Hudson Valley has fabulous plant nurseries, and plant lovers should prioritize spending money at these local hubs of hard work. Sometimes, though, your horticultural interests lead you to specialty plants not found in the region’s nurseries—let’s say, a hellebore with iridescent, true black, double blooms. A miniature ginkgo tree. Or an alpine primrose, velvet-red with a golden-yellow edge, that you’ve only seen in a botanical garden. Some local nurseries will order specialty plants for you, and, by all means, support those that do. Reserve your mail ordering for the truly rare and unusual plants. I’ve found great joy in poring over specialty plant catalogs in the wintertime. Two of my favorites are those of Brent & Becky’s Bulbs in Virginia and of Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina. From Brent & Becky’s I’ve purchased tiny, fuchsia-pinkwith-lavender-centers, critter-proof tulips that have naturalized in my garden. I’ve ordered many varieties of unusual daffodils, like one called ‘Rip Van Winkle,’ whose flowers are a mass of strappy yellow and chartreuse petals that look like the flower version of really crazy bedhead. Plant Delights Nursery intrigued me so much, I built a vacation around going to see it. (It was there that I saw the double black hellebore, and many other hellebores unlike any I’d seen elsewhere). It was a near-religious experience wandering around the public display gardens of this iconic nursery, seeing so many rare and unusual plants in person. I asked several Hudson Valley horticulturists for their mail ordering advice. Cheryl Hearty Way back when she was a beginning gardener (and strapped for cash), horticulturist Cheryl Hearty ordered a 25-plant perennial “starter garden” from one of those colorful flyers in newspapers. “My ‘garden’ arrived in a business-sized envelope,” she says. “The frail and threadlike plants were bundled together with a rubber band. The only plant that survived was common yarrow, which proceeded to overrun anything in its path! Lesson learned.” Years later, when Hearty worked in the Vassar College Biology Department greenhouse, she did a lot of mail ordering as she was worked to build the department’s collection of unusual tropical plants. “I knew that I wasn’t going to get huge specimens through mail order,” she says, “but I was grateful to find them at all. I was always excited to get the deliveries.” Hearty learned that every order was a bit of a gamble. She found that condition and size depended on the time of year and availability, even with the same company. If a plant was popular and the company was having trouble propagating it enough to meet the demand, she would get a smaller plant. If the company was overstocked on an item that she ordered, she would sometimes get a much bigger plant than she expected. “That was always a nice surprise!” she says. Hearty observed how summer heat or winter cold could damage mail-ordered plants. “Some mail-order plants come bare root, to save on shipping costs,” she says. “These will need to be planted or potted up right away.” Hearty says that some plants might defoliate from the shock of shipping and might need some TLC thereafter. The exceptions are orchids and plants that are dormant—these tend to ship well. “If a plant arrives in poor condition, I would contact the company right away, even if the plant is still partially alive,” she says. “This way if you have to make a claim later, it shows it wasn’t your fault. I would also recommend ordering from companies that have a warranty policy.” Hearty eschews ordering grossly overpriced plants from catalogs. “I’ve seen little tomato plants in 2” pots priced at $6 each!” she says. “The glossy and flashy catalogues make everything look so appealing, but a gardener could get vegetable plants for less

money, grown locally (and often organically) at Hudson Valley farms and smaller garden centers.” Hearty encourages people to check with their local Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) office to see if their Master Gardener program is having a spring plant sale. For instance, CCE Dutchess, Ulster, and Putnam counties have major sales each May. Marie Iannotti “Cheryl’s tip that mail order is always a bit of a gamble is probably the most important thing people need to hear,” says garden writer, photographer, speaker, and instructor Marie Iannotti (Gardeninginthehudsonvalley.com). “But even so, mail order is fun,” Iannotti says. “Through a catalog, you can get exactly the color you want or the plant you’ve seen in magazines but haven’t found locally.” “Mail-ordered plants often look a little ragged when they arrive, but most will rebound quickly if you plant them right away and give them plenty of water,” she says. “However, beware the cheaper mail-order nurseries that send tiny bare root seedlings that dry out easily in the mail before they even get to you. Better to go with a reputable company than go for a bargain.” Iannotti also says not to be surprised if the color of your flowers does not match the photo in the catalog, as the photos may be touched up, or it could simply be a difference in growing conditions that causes discrepancies in flower color. An example of this is ‘Endless Summer’ hydrangea.Your blooms will be pink, purple, or blue, depending on your soil pH. “Consider ordering late-summer and fall-blooming plants from catalogs,” Iannotti says.This is because fall bloomers like perennial Japanese anemones or the daisy-family heleniums are rarely offered in garden centers and nurseries in the spring—and quickly sell out if offered in the fall. Dorian Winslow Dorian Winslow is the president of Womanswork in Pawling (Womanswork.com), a woman-owned company that has been making gardening gloves and other supplies— for all genders—for more than 32 years. “Always read the fine print to learn the size of the plants you will be getting,” she says. “I ordered a collection of air plants recently and they were so tiny I almost threw the bag of them out by mistake! Don’t be fooled by a catalog photo showing the mature plant.” Winslow says that plant collections from iconic mail-order outlets like White Flower Farm can be a way to go when you like container gardens but find it difficult to choose combinations that will work together in terms of plant culture and aesthetics. She bought one such collection for her mother last spring, called the Hummingbird Garden, which included a coleus, a begonia, a fuchsia, and an ornamental sweet potato. “She received the plants and potted them up in a container of her own and it matured very nicely,” Winslow says. It can be a great gift for loved ones who don’t live nearby. “On the hierarchy of mail order items that require special handling, plants are only beaten out by one-day-old chicks and butterfly larvae,” she says. “When your plants arrive, be sure to follow instructions on caring for them. If they arrive in poor health, contact the seller right away. Send a photo. Most likely they will replace the plant.” Winslow has advice for those who have ventured into ordering plants off Amazon and other online sources. “Be sure the seller is a well-respected grower—as with any other purchase, read the reviews!” she says. “Bulbs are the most travel hardy of all plants, but even a potted plant can be sent successfully through the mail if handled by a seasoned grower.” 7/18 CHRONOGRAM HOME & GARDEN 51

here’s no time like summer to experience the enchantment of the Warwick Valley. The creativity and rich black dirt are in productive high gear; the fresh food’s sizzling on the grill, the libations are flowing, and the music’s throbbing.Warwick Village is full of welcomed wanderers, local and international. Festivals are an art in themselves here. Culture has been a transformative force here for generations, both fueling and dominating commerce for decades, displayed in a spirit that blends reverence and fun. From July 12 through August 16, the Warwick Summer Arts Festival offers adventures for mood, mind, and spirit. The kickoff on July 12 is the 10 Minute Play Festival at the Warwick Performing Arts Center, offering readings of original screenplays, mini-plays and scenes. Saturday, July 14, is a day to Wonder Wander Warwick as the village explodes with visual and experiential artwork presentations. It’s a walkable experience and will include hands-on opportunities to experiment with clay pressing, paper flower making, interpretive dancing, interactive large-scale painting, crocheting with plastic “yarn,” and more. Bring the kids and create a family set of keepsake Wonder Wands to take home. (The weekend of July 7-8, the Warwick Merchant’s Guild presents the Sidewalk Sale, with street vendors, in-store specials, and, for those feeling gluttonous, a pie-eating contest sponsored by Noble Pies.) On July 18, it’s time for the Poetry Slam and Jam to rock the Pennings Farm Beer Garden. On July 28, the action moves to Scheuermann Farms for a Sunset Concert on the Lawn that includes the culminating glory of the Warwick Dance Collective Summer Intensive. On August 2, you’re invited to view the results of July’s collaboration between local youth and topnotch local talent in the Front Porch Summer Arts Program & Exhibit.

A Hudson Valley Jazz Festival performance on the Railroad Green in Warwick.

On Saturday August 11, partake of the Dusklit Interactive Art Festival 2018, featuring 38 immersive experiences by 64 contemporary artists from across the United States and Canada. Curated by visual artists Olivia Baldwin and Cody Rounds, the festival offers elaborate sensory environments, sound installations, and a costume-lending tent.You, as festival-goer, are considered integral to the magic that will happen. (See a pattern here? Warwick doesn’t just show you beauty produced by others. It draws you in and evokes the beauty you brought with you in your heart.) Dusklit happens at the Seligmann Homestead at the Citizens Foundation in Sugar Loaf, the former home of world-renowned surrealist Kurt Seligmann. Dusklit features performance art, new media, music, dance, poetry, interdisciplinary collaborations, and roving projects. “Lots of new surprises this year,” says curator Rounds. “We are really trying to push play and spontaneity this time around.” And on August 16, the festival finishes up with a retro-meets-cutting-edge flourish. It’s $20 a carload ($10 a person) to get into the Warwick Valley DriveIn for a screening of locally produced short films. Keeping it fresh and local is the Warwick way. From August 9 through 12, be on the lookout for the Hudson Valley Jazz Festival, happening at various indoor and outdoor venues. The New York Swing Exchange will kick things off with a free concert on the Warwick Village Green. So those are some especially good times to visit the Warwick Valley, but there’s really no bad time. Even on any old weekday afternoon, there’s much that’s fabulous to explore. Retail here is free-form, with shops that mirror the owner’s passion and personality. Reinvented in the Wick, for example, specializes in refurbished and recycled treasures, and owner Terri offers workshops

in case you’d like to learn how to do that yourself. You’ll find artisan jewelry, art glass, and singular decor at Iriniri; custom confections at the Candy Apple Shoppe; and gluten-free foods and wellness products at Down2Earth Market. Style Counsel specializes in making fine designer fashion a pleasure to purchase and wear. All of this and more is presented with an artful touch and a genuine Warwick welcome. And if antiques are your bliss, there are a day’s worth of varied and eclectic shops. (Warwick is not without its esoteric side: The practical teachings of early 20th-century mystic George Gurdjieff live on at the Chardavogne Barn spiritual community. Spend a day learning about the Fourth Way on July 7; Nyland.org) BLACK-DIRT BLISS You’ll also want to devote an entire day to exploring Sugar Loaf Arts and Crafts Village. Just as the name suggests, a fine group of makers have banded together here to create and display their wares. Fine jewelry, candles, soaps, handmade paper goods, herbs, magic supplies, wearable art of all sorts, furniture, fantasy swords, woodcarving, stained glass...should you be in need of a gift for someone you love dearly, yourself included, Sugar Loaf’s sweetness will blow you away. Want to get outdoors? Here, too, this valley’s abundantly blessed.The ninemile-long, spring-fed Greenwood Lake is Orange County’s largest body of fresh water, welcoming swimmers, boaters, fisherfolk, water skiers, and jet skiers. There’s a public beach and an array of marinas to get you set to go. Wickham Lake offers still more water fun. (Wickham Woodlands Park is one of the best reuses of a one-time prison site that you’ll find anywhere). Having fun is thirsty work, and the Warwick Valley offers an array of bestin-class options for thirst-quenching. Breweries abound, making good use of delicious ingredients grown from the black dirt. (The Dirt’s Brew Hop held in June featured five local breweries—Pine Island Brewing, Glenmere Brewing Company, Long Lot Farm Brewery, Westtown Brew Works, and Equilibrium Brewery.) Wine is equally fine: The Applewood Winery and Distillery will happily turn you on to the reasons that Hudson Valley wines, liquors, and hard cider have made such a stir in the craft beverage world, as will the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery. Both places offer tastings, cafes, and live music events. You’ll be hungry, too, and as you might expect, food is yet another love language fluently spoken in these parts. Farm-to-table, fresh, savory fare is on the menu at the Grange, a chef-owned-and-operated outpost where James Haurey applies his creative chops to the finest local goodies in a frequently changing, always-inspired menu that’s accented with bimonthly art exhibits, movie nights (Chew-n-View), and live piano music on Mondays. At Noble Pies, Leslie Noble and Tom Herman are celebrating 10 years and 100,000 pies worth of fine artisanal baking this month. Combine your fondness for local suds with the deliciousness of local ingredients prepared New American-style at a beer dinner at Eddie’s Roadhouse, a laidback gastropub. And those are just three examples:Your choices include classic and New American, fine Italian and pizza, Thai, Greek and Latin options, and more.Vegetarian and vegan-friendly places abound. Want to experience a creamery, a an Irish pub, a European-style chateau, or just a darn fine taco? The Warwick Valley can fix you right up. The Warwick Valley’s location, just an hour from Manhattan, has helped nurture the development of world-class culture in all sorts of flavors. Its exceptional beauty has bred ferocious loyalty that’s protected it well against being overtaken by sprawl, and the result—three villages and nine hamlets strung around with farms—is like nowhere else on Earth. This, after all, is the place where a little local harvest festival begun nearly 30 years ago morphed into Applefest. Come down the second Sunday in October for 250-plus artful vendors, exquisite street eats, kids’ carnival, pie baking contest, music, and art. At least 50 nonprofits participate in this epic block party, exhibiting and educating and benefitting along with the Chamber of Commerce. If you’d like one fact that most illustrates Warwick Valley character, that might well be the one: It’s a warm, vital tapestry, equal parts art and heart. A final illustration: Pine Island’s 10th Annual Black Dirt Feast on August 7 is sold out, but you can still get on the waiting list—it’s a $125-a-plate collaboration featuring nine fine eateries and a quartet of libations providers all set to classical and jazz. And the proceeds go to food pantries and give scholarships. In this valley, that’s just how it goes.

Magazzino’s Summer Film Series Brings 12 Films About Italian Post-War Artists By Marie Doyon

hat began for Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu as a shared love of Murano glass in the 1990s, grew into one of the world’s largest collection of Postwar and Contemporary Italian art. A year ago, they opened Magazzino Italian Art, a 20,000-square-foot “art warehouse space” in Cold Spring, NY dedicated to widening public appreciation and education of Post-war and Contemporary Italian Art in the United States. A new film series, Cinema in Piazza, organized by Magazzino in collaboration with Artecinema and Cold Spring Film Society, will offer Hudson Valley residents a new window into the minds and methods of the status-quo-defiant Italian artists on display at the warehouse along with American artists of the same generation. From July 13 through 28, Magazzino will screen 12 films over six nights in Magazzino’s open-air courtyard. “With this event, we’re going back to a tradition in Italy where people would often gather in the piazza during summer evenings to watch movies,” says Vittorio Calabrese, Director of Magazzino Italian Art. Ranging in length between 13 to 72 minutes long, the films follow artists from different generations and backgrounds as they cast off the literal and metaphorical strictures of two-dimensional art, creating fluid pieces that are immersed in materiality and physicality. Each evening will showcase two documentaries: one about an Italian artist and one about an international artist. “Each pairing is intended to shed light about common grounds and/or opposite trends in dealing with similar subjects by Italian artists and their peers abroad,” Calabrese says. “By either showing affinities or contrasting diverging attitudes, the screenings will provide insightful views on the work

of the artists and on how they addressed defining issues of the artistic avantgarde since the post-war years until today.” The selection of films was inspired by the landmark 1970 Turin exhibition, “Conceptual Art, Arte Povera, Land Art,” curated by Germano Celant at the Galleria Civica di Arte Moderna. Many of the artists’ work is currently on display at Magazzino. During the film series, Magazzino will be open after-hours from 7pm. “We hope this will encourage visitors to take some time before the movies to explore the current exhibition “Arte Povera: From the Olnick Spanu Collection,” and familiarize themselves with the works of the artists featured in the films,” Calabrese says. “We hope the movies will shed an even broader light and audiences will get to understand these artists and their works of art in a larger international context.” Art historian Francesco Guzzetti will introduce the films each night at 8pm, and the screenings will begin after sundown at 8:30pm, with refreshments provided. Cinema in Piazza kicks off on Friday, July 13, with a Piero Manzoni/ Joseph Beuys double-header. “Both were pioneers in Conceptual Art both in Italy and abroad and influential to the Arte Povera artists,” Calabrese explains. On July 14, the films will focus on Michelangelo Pistoletto and the American Southwest’s Land Art movement. The coming weeks will include screenings about Giulio Paolini and Richard Serra (7/20); Giuseppe Penone and Sol LeWitt (07/21), Jannis Kounellis and Louise Bourgeois (7/27); and Pino Pascali and Bruce Nauman (7/28). Tickets range from $5 for a one-night student pass to $25 for an adult full program pass. Magazzino.eventbrite.com 7/18 CHRONOGRAM ARTS & CULTURE 67

The Badilla family—Milandou, Nkoula, Ntangou, Ntchota, Ngounga, Mounnanou, and Pamela— with Gloria Stewart and Debbie Waithe at the Hudson Area Library.

The Loving Tribe The Badila Family By Peter Aaron

he children are happy and dancing. They’re on the stage of the beautifully restored grand performance room of the 1855 Hudson Hall, formerly known as the Hudson Opera House. Diata Diata Folkloric Theater director Pamela Badila is leading the kids, who range in age from elementary school to teenagers, through traditional West and Central African dances. They spin around, bend up and down, and throw their arms out and heads back, smiling all the while, as her son Ngounga feeds their frenzied movement with his hypnotic beats a djembe drum. The rehearsal is for “Spirit of the River,” a production by Diata Diata (Kikongo for “step step”; a reference to the troupe’s dance performances, as well as its founders’ philosophy of taking life step by step). “This is a West African play that I learned about years ago,” says Pamela, the charismatic matriarch of the Badila family, about the parabolic performance, whose story is set in a riverside village called Nabisso. “[The play] is very old, but it’s still relevant, because it deals with water, how water gives life but can 68 MUSIC CHRONOGRAM 7/18

also take it away.The disparity with the access to clean water in Africa and India has been a problem for a long, long time. And now we’re seeing what’s been going on America, with Flint and Standing Rock. Water is life, everybody needs water. Fela Kuti sang, ‘Water no get enemy.’” If you’re part of the arts scene in Hudson, the odds are good that you know the Badilas.The highly creative family has been a deep and vibrant cultural pillar of the city since relocating there from France, by way of Long Island, in the late 1990s. Pamela’s late husband, Elombe Badila, hailed from the Congo and was one of the founding members of the National Ballet of Congo, which toured Asia and Europe in the 1960s and ’70s. The company was especially popular among the many Congolese expatriates in Paris, which is where Elombe met Pamela, a visiting, NewYork-born dancer.The couple married and began to have children, adding to the two kids Elombe brought from a previous relationship. Eventually the family settled in Hudson, drawn there after visiting Pamela’s sister, a longtime resident, and its household swelled to include 10 siblings.

All of the Badila children are decidedly artistic across multiple disciplines— dance, music, fashion, visual art—and their work is always informed by the rich, colorful foundation of the family’s African roots. Through their frequent, dazzling, drums-and-dance-heavy performances at local public events, the community came to recognize and embrace the Badilas; a parade in honor of Elombe after his passing in 2011 filled Warren Street with hundreds of marchers and mourners. But when the family was still new in town, the vibe wasn’t always so welcoming. “Somebody put a sign on our porch that said, ‘Fuck you, Africans!’ or something like that, but we didn’t let it bother us,” the matron recalls. “My kids said, ‘Mom, why don’t they like us?’ and I said, ‘Well, it’s because they don’t know us. We have to show them who we are.’ Ignorance and false information are what fuels hate, you know? So we started dancing and drumming and performing around Hudson, and people liked it and were curious and we just kept meeting and getting to know more and more people.The same thing happened when I was putting together a multicultural event in Hudson a few years ago: I asked some of the people from the Bangladeshi community if they would have their kids dance in it, and, at first, they weren’t so sure. But then I explained how showing others who you are can be a helpful thing. So the parents brought their kids to the rehearsals and the little girls wore their beautiful bhindis and native clothes and danced for the audience. It was wonderful. So many of the problems and misunderstandings between people are just because of the ignorance, people being afraid of the people from other cultures they don’t know.” The most visible of the Badilas is Milandou, a rap artist, model, and entrepreneur who performs under the name Young Paris, a reference to the city of his birth. “The girlfriend I had when I was 18 couldn’t pronounce my real name, so she called me ‘Paris’ and after a while I just went with it,” recalls the rapper, via WhatsApp, during a pre-show visit to the home of the Rwandan president while on tour in Africa last month. (“Touring Africa is crazy, you meet all kinds of people you’d never think you’d meet.”) After a two-year detour to Montreal, the 30-year-old MC now lives in Brooklyn and in 2016 signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation label for the expanded reissue of his third independent release, AfricanVogue. In addition to touring Africa with his music (and as a dancer with his father’s company when he was younger), he’s cultivated a rabid following in Europe, especially in France. With his distinctive white maquillage—traditional face paint; his is worn in homage to his departed dad—Paris is a striking figure in the rap world, and his art is a pulsating melting pot of hip-hop, EDM, and Afrobeat styles. Growing up in the Hudson Valley and living in, touring, and experiencing the cultures of hugely varied locales has informed his outlook as well his music. “It’s definitely a privilege, to be able to have so many lenses to view world through,” says Paris, who in 2017 launched Melanin, a company with the goal of lifting the self-esteem of people of color. “Right now, Melanin is a web platform, but the idea is to build it into having public conferences, panels, and other events,” he explains. Those who of us who spent time around this focused force of nature when he lived in Hudson and had yet to make the exodus to Brooklyn that’s a rite of passage for so many aspiring young artists always knew Paris was going to make it. He simply worked too hard—recording, making videos, promoting his music, and performing wherever he could—for there to be no way he wouldn’t make it. And it’s inspiring to see him doing it, at last. “That’s the thing about the Badilas,” says Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, a Hudson resident of several years himself. “That family is one of the hardest-working groups of people I’ve ever met; everything they do, they do to the fullest. I gotta give it to Elombe and Pamela for raising such a beautiful bunch of kids. Paris was actually the first best bud I had when I came to Hudson after living in New York. He really gave me the lay of the land up here, as far as the divide there is between the people in the poorer community and the businesses that come to town and bring their own workers rather than hiring more local people. So he made me aware of that and want to do these benefit concerts I’ve been putting together to help the people around here [Stinson has sponsored area fund-raising events for the Hudson Little League Association, local youth agriculture organization FarmOn!, and other causes]. I think I’ve worked with all of the Badilas at this point, between playing with them at benefits or at little local shows, or on recording projects.” One of those projects has been a series of recordings by Lady Moon aka

Ngonda Badila, now based in Brooklyn as well. The music of her band, Lady Moon and the Eclipse, as heard on their 2016 debut EP, Believe, shimmers with ethereal funk soul that pairs deep contemporary artists like Erykah Badu and Meshell Ndegeocello (the latter a sometime Hudsonian) with the classic American and African sounds she was raised with. “Growing up, I heard people like Aretha Franklin, the Pointer Sisters, and Diana Ross through my mom, and through my dad I heard Salif Keita and other Afropop artists,” says Moon. “Then I discovered Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, and Ella Fitzgerald. I could see the whole journey.” Speaking of journeys, the singer is currently working on her group’s debut full-length, the aptly named Journey to the Cosmic Soul, which is set for release next year. As someone from a home that included a modest two sisters, it’s hard not to wonder: Being reared among so many other siblings, did Moon or her brothers or sisters ever feel competitive toward one another? “Not really,” she says. “There was never really any alpha energy in our family. No matter what we’re going through, we’re always inseparable. Love holds us together. Love always defeats all the bad things.” This month, Hudson Hall pays tribute to Hudson’s “first family of creativity” with three special days of music, dance, and theater performed by the Badilas and their collaborative friends from the community.The series will feature the folk musical “Spirit of the River” and concerts byYoung Paris and Lady Moon and the Eclipse. For the prodigal sonYoung Paris, who hasn’t played live in his hometown in eons, the occasion represents a triumphant homecoming that’s been long in the making. “It’s definitely going to be a celebration,” he says. “I just want everyone to see what we do together as a family. And to be part of our tribe.” Hudson Hall will present “The Badila Family” from July 20-22: Diata Diata Folkloric Theater will perform “The Spirit of the River” on July 20 at 7pm, July 21 at 3pm, and July 22 at 5pm;Young Paris will perform on July 20 at 9pm; and Lady Moon and the Eclipse will perform on July 21 at 7pm.

ALELA DIANE July 6. While growing up in sage brush-blown Nevada City, California, singer-songwriter Alela Diane was mentored not only by her musician parents, but by her friend and neighbor, Joanna Newsom. Her 2004 official debut, The Pirate’s Gospel, turned many a critical head, and subsequent tours with Iron & Wine, Vashti Bunyan, the Decemberists, and Fleet Foxes upped her freak-folk cred. Diane’s fifth and newest full-length, Cusp, came out last February and finds her inspired by the newer vistas of being a thirtysomething mother of two. This cozy concert in the Beverly’s back room is being presented as part of the bistro’s BSP at the Beverly series. Twain opens. (Kimya Dawson drops in July 8.) TIME. $15, $18. Kingston. (845) 514-2570; Thebeverlylounge.com.

DEZORAH July 11. Neo-prog rock quintet Dezorah hails from Texas and pairs the lush, Kate Bush-y voice of singer Danica Salazar with the group’s grinding guitars, extravagant arrangements, and mathdefying time signatures. The band checks into Pauly’s Hotel this month to give some play to their sophomore release, Creando Azul, a five-song EP. “Creando Azul represents the process of healing,” says Salazar. “Each song’s lyrics hold a moment in the journey of acknowledging pain and beginning to purge from those emotions.” Fans of modern progressive metal along the lines of Tool, Coheed and Cambria, and the like will likely revel in Dezorah’s epic explorations. Opening acts TBA. (The Ok-Oks rock July 9; Intercourse enters July 13.) 7:30pm. $7. (518) 426-0802; Paulyshotel.com.

PALEFACE July 21. New York’s Paleface was Beck before Beck was Beck; the latter superstar once roomed with Paleface and cribbed much of his shtick from him—but, then again, Paleface was himself directly mentored by Daniel Johnston, so the lo-fi lineage runs deep. Briefly managed by the legendary Danny Fields (the Stooges, MC5, Ramones), Paleface was the Great White Hope of

the Lower East Side’s burgeoning “anti-folk” scene when he signed with Polygram to release his 1993 debut. But things didn’t go well with the majors and he soon found himself back in the underground, where he continues to do his thing, releasing indie albums and playing lowkey gigs—like this one at the Kingston Artists Collective and Cafe. (Fugs founder Ed Sanders reads July 1.) 7pm. $10. Kingston. (845) 399-2491; Facebook.com/kingstonartistcollective.

THE MEDITATIONS July 21. Roots reggae vocal harmony trio the Meditations already had some hits in their native Jamaica by the time they hooked up with Lee “Scratch” Perry and, through him, Bob Marley. Formed in 1974 by singers Ansel Cridland, Laury Webb, and Drayton Chandell, the group, who here skank their way to Colony, made a splash with their classic 1977 debut Message from the Meditations before Perry brought them in to do backups on Marley’s “Punky Reggae Party,” “Blackman Redemption,” and “Rastaman Live Up.” Their most recent album, 2015’s Jah Will Find a Way, features the playing of reggae legends Sly Dunbar, Ansel Collins, and Dwight Pinkney. With DJ Roar. (Screaming Females shriek July 6; the John Hall Band reunites July 7.) 8pm. $30-$50. Woodstock. (845) 679-7625; Colonywoodstock.com.

BRIAN WILSON July 21. The Beach Boys’ reluctant genius songwriter visits UPAC this month, with his old band mates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin in tow, to give one of his final performances of one of the greatest albums ever made: Pet Sounds. Upon its release, the 1966 psychedelic pop masterpiece confused audiences and even Wilson’s collaborators, who were more used to the band’s proven topics of surfing, cars, and teen crushes than the album’s themes of loneliness, existentialism, and mind expansion. Pet Sounds has been cited by some as the first “concept” album and is home to, among other classics, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” God Only Knows,” and “Sloop John B.” With Beat Root Revival.

ROCKET NUMBER NINE RECORDS

LIFE IN A BLENDER HAPPY ENOUGH (FANG RECORDS, 2017)

After 25 years of creative output, singersongwriter Don Rauf has perfected his particular brand of rock. Even if that brand isn’t particularly particular: Life in a Blender has worn many hats over its nine studio albums—sometimes screaming punk, sometimes delicate pop. On Happy Enough, the music reflects the sonic and aesthetic elements of some of the late-’90s releases of Cake or Eels. Happy Enough has the approach of the auteur front man waxing poetic where the band builds worlds around the lyrical qualities, to provide a foundation and bedrock for the themes themselves to exist. The musicianship on the album’s 10 songs is top-notch; on “Submarine,” all the musical and lyrical pieces converge on a chorus so catchy and anthemic it may have fit alongside Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros’ “Home” or Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” on early 2000s alternative radio.

ROSWELL RUDD/FAY VICTOR/LAFAYETTE HARRIS/KEN FILIANO EMBRACE (RARENOISERECORDS, 2017)

Roswell Rudd is gone, but his horn lives on, not only in the hearts of many, but in the virtual grooves of Embrace, his final disc.This is not Rudd’s record alone. It is a true group effort, featuring vocalist Fay Victor, pianist Lafayette Harris, and bassist Ken Filiano. Truthfully, it’s almost not Rudd’s record at all, but Victor’s. She has a horn too, with her vocals on Thelonious Monk’s “Pannonica,” particularly, cutting like a trumpet next to Rudd’s trombone.The latter enters majestically on the opening track, a floating, shimmering take of Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn’s “Something to Live For” and is framed throughout by Harris’s lush, but never intrusive, piano. Embrace is also a delightfully straightforward affair, with Rudd and company revisiting standards ranging from Charles Mingus’s “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” (with lyrics by Roland Kirk, and scatting by Victor!) to Rudd’s beloved folk of “House of the Rising Sun.” Rarenoiserecords.com. —Michael Eck SECURITY PROJECT CONTACT (7D MEDIA, 2017)

Fans of Peter Gabriel’s early progressive work may be stoked to unearth the cover band Security Project, which features drummer Jerry Marotta, who played on Gabriel’s first three solo albums. Since 2012, the tribute act has spotlighted founders Marotta and guitarist Trey Gunn (King Crimson) as several male singers have had a crack at Gabriel’s vocal essence. In 2016, along came indie frontwoman Happy Rhodes with her four-octave vocal range and tunes from her own catalogue and that of Kate Bush, to whom she is often compared. It works. On Contact, a dozen timeless Gabriel masterpieces are recreated live, from the subdued “Lead a Normal Life” and “San Jacinto” to the dark, tribal intensity of “Rhythm of the Heat” and “No Self Control” and the paranoid “Intruder.” If only all cover bands utilized such unbridled, creative arrangements and consummate artistic integrity as this one, whose performance is tight and towering. 7dmedia.com. —Sharon Nichols CHRONOGRAM.COM LISTEN to tracks by the artists reviewed in this issue.

Following the success of Hunt’s haunting 2016 novel Mr. Splitfoot, Tin House is re-releasing The Seas, the Hudson Valley-based author’s largely overlooked first novel. As in her subsequent books, The Seas is part fairytale, part bildungsroman, part picaresque adventure. The unnamed narrator is a young woman in a coastal town so far north that the highways only run south. She’s in hard love with an Iraq War veteran and may or may not be a mermaid. Hunt pulls readers into an undertow of impossible love and intoxication, hope and delusion, sanity and madness. Hunt reads at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on July 10 at 6pm.

Are you the next Herman Melville? You All Grow Up and Leave Me Piper Weiss

William Morrow, 2018, $25.99

erhaps the first hurdle for an author writing a memoir is sorting out whose story is whose. “I have a story, but it didn’t happen to me,” Piper Weiss complains to an old college boyfriend early in You All Grow Up and Leave Me. The book is a riveting account of an adolescence that was marred by a relationship with her tennis coach, Gary Wilensky, who later assaulted and attempted to kidnap another young student referred to by Weiss as “the Daughter.” But “marred” is the wrong word, as the author struggles with the complexities of her relationship with Wilensky, and what he represented to her before it all literally turned into a real-life house of horrors that landed on the front pages of newspapers and magazines—all saved by Weiss’s mother in an actual file. Is Weiss writing Wilenky’s story? The Daughter’s? If it seems that by riding shotgun in Wilensky’s car all those times to and from tennis practices, the more interesting worldview became Weiss’s own, a front-row seat to the dark streets Wilensky travels down, but with an ear tuned to the chatter of the young girls in the back. Although the true crimes and potential crimes of Wilensky are the inciting incidents for Weiss’s story, these tabloid headlines are a small part of the whole, a compelling coming-of-age story in the halls of private schools on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where Weiss feels too short, too Jewish, not pretty enough, not smart enough, and, ultimately, possibly not one of Wilensky’s “favorites.” It is also an accounting of all the relationships outside of Wilensky: the girls she tries to fit in with, the boys she meets at parties, and, most significantly, her own family, mainly Weiss’s mother, who is perhaps the unexpected heroine of her teenage battles. The story of an adolescent girl being at odds with her mother may not sound like a plot line you have never read before, but in Weiss’ hands, the complexity of their interactions offers a guide to raising an artistic, headstrong daughter while at the same time shedding light on being that very black sheep of a girl storming through her teenage years. Weiss does her homework by providing background of her mother’s mother in order to better understand their differences. And there are very big scenes with Weiss and her mother, from being interviewed by reporters about Wilensky, to a very violent encounter between the two of them over the whereabouts of a Banana Republic sweater. But Weiss is a poet of small details, neatly summing up their intimacy in one simple gesture, when Weiss enters the kitchen and takes her mother’s can of diet soda, and her mother wordlessly rises and gets herself another. Getting back to Wilensky, as Weiss relentlessly continues to do, we learn that violent crime has no room for metaphor. Weiss herself, upon being turned down by the Daughter for an interview for the book, is smart to recognize her own privilege of not being the object of the actual violence. But still: “I loved him,” she tells a reporter. And as her mother explains to her, incredibly, “He came at a time in your life when you needed him.” Ultimately, it’s the old college boyfriend who sets her on course for the book, saying “Piper, this is your story. Don’t forget that.” But what Weiss discovers in the conflicted metaphor of developing her own adolescent sexuality in the company of a sexual sociopath is that sometimes not being the “favorite” can provide its own singular perspective. Sometimes it can even save your life. Piper Weiss reads and signs at The Golden Notebook in Woodstock on July 14 at 6 pm. —James Conrad

HOLLYWOOD POETS BEWARE!

D. B. IN THE URN

ODE TO MOTHER

I was full of crap, then I went to Hollywood. Now, I’m covered with crap and I’m still full of crap, but I don’t care anymore.

It was the night James brought that girl and I was tanked and the neighbor moved his gas grill w/o turning off the gas and blew the house off its foundation.

Outside Mother rings the bells of flowers. She catches falling stars from Magnolia. She then embraces the wandering shrub with all her light, with plenty left for the mountains, the river, the birds.

At the office I said, “How old is your son?” She replied, “He’ll be three next month.” I felt like saying, “Did I ask you how old he was going to be?” Gary Snyder said, “Gratitude to wild things / In our minds, so be it!” I tried to channel Richard Brautigan. I wanted to be a soldier in an army of men who wore the full armor of God but knew I lacked courage. I googled courage, but it didn’t help any more than the time I googled the meaning of life. I’m still guessing at that. —John Blandly

Slaughter “Bernadette.” But here we are celebrating survival. Hoping not to tell the tales told before Or at least remember how they went. What was the last one they butchered? The Beatles? O, that’s easy. Everyone thinks they’re the Beatles. It’s pandemic. We all got guitars back then. It was a boom to the industry. Songs of weapons, war and women. The same they sing today.

Pull us as a mother through the worlds We will never know. For (after all) we are yours, Of the Earth, to follow you, your bashing sweetness, Sun. —Kyle Pritz

THE BELIEVER It takes more faith to believe in nothing. That mess of stars, a mere splatter of paint smeared by the artist’s foot. That slice of pink, the sun’s goodnight kiss, a restless turning of the earth. It takes devotion to know marbles only clamor in glass when shaken and our bodies only tremble until the cycle goes spinning leaving us limp and drowsy. Even the tomcat knows his limits. The wire is too thin for fat paws and greedy claws, but the pillow of earth below, green, speckled shards from the great glowing orb, offers reassurance. He leaps clean out. —Angela Braselmann

INSIDE Inside the sweater The shirt The skin The housing of bones The warm mystery of organs; Their syncopation with the metronome A heart beating A hundred thousand times a day; And ignored by the dead dread spot Behind the liver; Inside the brain’s wild circuitry Shooting electron arrows at the bulls-eyes Of meaning. Inside all that is, You are, Magnificent with your Transparent love and Your yellow polka dotted Bow tie. —Robert Phelps

TO LOVE LIKE RAM DASS I want to love like Ram Dass, to float on the waves, bathed in healing waters; to love like dancers on LSD, to be lifted into a crow’s nest of wildflowers, searching for the heavens beyond the heavens; to love like children do, full of joy unquestioned and laughing madly. I want to be in the arms of a love that keeps giving-like milk... like pear juice... ...like air... like words... to love without fearing death, to converse with it like an old roommate, to fall asleep together, drunk on lullabies never recorded again; to love as a free man. To open the door each morning with yes on my lips. —George Cassidy Payne

THE TORTURED ARTIST SHOWS US HOW NOT TO BE SEEN Anchored against a back wall He slouches Blending in Gathering all his light around him Holding it close Longing for a cigarette Or something to do with his hands While Focusing his attention Towards a stage he is not on.

My solar soul Flickers to life, Flares breeze-blown, Floods with green, Light-cut and Luminous. Slanter of gold, Sower of plenty: How much do I love you? THIS MANY.

How did you feel when the hurricane that wreaked country-wide destruction had your forename? I personally would bear some guilt in the aftermath.

Wondering if you ever did adopt that highway, and if it’s as expensive as adopting a child?

Food & Drink

WHERE THE WILDE THINGS ARE A CULINARY SAFARI AT WILDE BEEST By Brian K. Mahoney Photos by Peter Barrett

ne of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the year happened last month when Wilde Beest debuted in mid-June. Located at 310 Wall Street in Uptown Kingston, chef Chris Turgeon has taken over the space formerly inhabited by the pioneering tapas joint Elephant. Turgeon and his tight-knit crew—Greg Ryan, Eric Donaldson, Russell Prickett, and Oshan Jarow—have big hooves to fill, but first bites suggest great things. Wilde Beest bills itself as a “farm-to-fork concept restaurant focused on hyper-locality and the cultivation of intimacy with its clientele and community.” The key words here are “concept restaurant,” “hyper-locality,” and “intimacy,” and they should be addressed separately. Concept Restaurant Chris Turgeon is an alum of 42 Grams, Jake Bickelhaupt’s temple of cuttingedge modern cuisine in Chicago that served elaborate multi-course tasting menus and earned two Michelin stars before it closed in 2017. Given this pedigree, it’s no surprise that Turgeon isn’t just opening a “restaurant,” he wants to wrestle with the very idea of what a restaurant is, or can be. The menu— presented as a booklet, including illustrated covers—is ambitious, cheeky, and provocative. The names of the wildly inventive dishes, and their descriptions, give some indication of this. Pig in a Pullover: Savoy cabbage, ndjua, parsley crème fraiche, sumac, kale powder ($13); Tumble in the Rough: Twice spiced saddle of lamb, romanesco, sour cream, prune jus, nuts and grains ($31); A Trip to the Pond: Smoked barley risotto, morels, fava, peas, cattail shoots, wild mushrooms ($26); Hen of the Yard: chicken fricassee, carrots, cumin, rosemary, wild mushroom, jus ($24).

78 FOOD & DRINK CHRONOGRAM 7/18

Hyper-locality Turgeon has chosen to partner with farmer/cult hero Amy Hepworth, a seventh-generation farmer who runs Hepworth Farms on 400 acres that have been cultivated by her family since 1818. Hepworth will be providing much of the produce for Wilde Beest. Another aspect of “hyper-locality” that Turgeon is pursuing is on the house-made and preservation front. “I really want to cook the seasons,” says Turgeon.There’ll be a lot of canning and pickling, laying up food for the winter months. “I want to reference how people lived and cooked 100 years ago,” he says. “If there’s Worcestershire sauce on the menu, we’ll have made that.” Intimacy The interior of the restaurant has been transformed from a dark clubhouse to a bright, open, airy space somewhere between a modern art gallery and a kindergarten classroom designed by Walton Ford. The walls have been painted white, the black paint has been scraped off the front window, and the upper half of the partition separating the kitchen and dining room has been removed.These changes have brought a communal feel to the space that feels mellow and relaxed. However, the taxidermied ringtail pheasants in flight along one wall and Carla Rozman’s slightly menacing paintings of animals provide dynamic counterpoint. The Food The menu is broken into Small Plates ($11-$14) and Large Plates ($24-$31) and there are six of each. I tried a high-concept salad, An Apple a Day ($11) consisting of shaved apple, kohlrabi, shattered cheddar, and dill creme fraiche, dusted with hazelnut and horseradish snow. The pairing here was subtle: the

Clockwise from left: The Wilde Beest dining room; An Apple a day—shaved apple, kohlrabi, shattered cheddar, and dill creme fraiche dusted with hazelnut and horseradish snow; Never Mind the Bullocks—Akahushi beef with cured beef heart, compressed broccoli leaf, red radish fluid gel, and double Worcestershire sauce.

apple serving as a background flavor the others played off. Each bite was slightly different, depending on what bit of the dish you forked: now nutty, now creamy, now zingy with horseradish. (If you’re wondering how to get to “shattered cheddar: just freeze it.) Next up was Sea Legs ($15). This grilled octopus is the best I’ve eaten in many years. It was served with twice-cooked cherry tomatoes, paprika oil, squid ink, Iberico lardo and shishito puree. The octopus itself was an umami delight with a porcine quality that tasted delightfully meaty but not tough. Given my fondness for the octopus itself, the rest of the dish seemed superfluous, but the shishito puree added a piquant edge that suited the cephalopod well. Strawberry Degrees ($12) is a fascinating combination of underripe green strawberries and almost overripe strawberries served with grilled cucumber and feta.The contrasting tartness and sweetness of the strawberry in two stages of ripeness is as disorienting and delightful as I imagine time travel would be. In A Pinch ($14) is a handful of blue crab topped with a fried tomato sitting in a lobster/saffron emulsion. The batter coating on the tomato was as thin, light, and ethereal. The temperature difference between the cold crab and the fried tomato was a wonderful surprise.This dish embodies something essential about Turgeon’s cooking. All the food I’ve eaten at Wilde Beest has tasted “good.” The same could be said of the top dozen or so restaurants in the region. What elevates Turgeon’s plates is his intellectual curiosity, inventive nature, and love of contrast. I also tried Never Mind the Bullocks ($31): sliced strips of Akahushi beef served with red radish fluid gel, compressed broccoli leaf, cured beef heart, and double Worcestershire. Akahushi is a Japanese breed of cattle with intense marbling, which was clear from the cross-cut presentation. The radish gel is a 80 FOOD & DRINK CHRONOGRAM 7/18

bit of gimmicky molecular gastronomy, but looks great on the plate, three pale red gumdrops in a neat row. (Turgeon is finicky about the way his food looks and the presentations of all the plates showed German-enginnering-level precision. One senses the clear influence of 42 Grams’s Bickelhaupt, a noted stickler for detail and tortured genius. Turgeon, who is often seen bringing plates directly to diners, may be a perfectionist, but he’s an affable conversationalist tableside.) The meat was as lush as you’d expect waygu beef to be and the double Worcestershire an appropriate gooey, fishy accompaniment—a tweaked version of a quintessential American dish. For dessert, I was served a sundae (Not Bad for a Dollar, $9): mascarpone ice cream, salted caramel, red Spanish peanut, and marshmallow fluff that was formed in a ball and charred. Think of it as a deconstructed Milky Way candy bar crossed with a Fluffernutter sandwich. The focus here was as much on texture as it was on richness. A silky, sweet treat to end the meal. Like its predecessor, Wilde Beest does not serve hard liquor, only beer and wine. The wine list ranges all over the map, with a Lebanese Syrah rubbing elbows with Californian Grenache. Bottle prices $35 to $150; glasses $9 to $14. An exceptional pour I enjoyed was the Enrico Serafino Gavi di Gavi, an Italian white that paired wonderfully with the apple salad and grilled octopus. There are also some world-class beers available by the bottle, including a 750 ml. Figaro Ale from Oregon’s Cascade Brewing Company ($38). Given what I’ve eaten, I’m expecting great things from Chris Turgeon and crew. Wilde Beest is what the next wave of adventurous cooking in the Hudson Valley tastes like.

CANCER CRUSHERS UNCOVERING THE SECRETS OF SPONTANEOUS REMISSION WITH CANCER RESEARCHER KELLY TURNER, PHD by wendy k agan

nce in a rare while, we hear a story of someone given months or weeks to live who ends up surviving and defiantly thriving. Like the first person to run a four-minute mile, climb Mt. Everest, or walk on the moon, such individuals are living proof that the impossible is possible. Yet because their experience is so far outside the norm, these survivors have been labeled medical anomalies and set aside from the lens of research. That is, until Kelly Turner, PhD, came along. The author of Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds (HarperCollins, 2014), Turner has studied hundreds of spontaneous-remission cases to see what can be learned from them. It turns out that we can learn a lot, including nine healing factors that all these stories share. I recently caught up with Turner—who will be teaching a Radical Remission workshop September 21–23 at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck—to talk about these survivors’ take-charge approaches to crushing cancer. What was your “aha moment” about radical remission? Kelly Turner: Originally, I was planning on being a counselor for cancer patients; my master’s degree was in psychotherapy. Then I came across Shin Terayama’s story, which was the first case I’d heard of radical remission. This man had been sent home on hospice with Stage IV kidney cancer after trying everything [Western medicine had to offer], but he was alive 25 years later. I was just floored. I thought, if that is humanly possible, then we need to figure out how he did that. Later that night, I did more research on PubMed [a search engine for medical research], and I saw that there were over 1,200 of these cases published in peer-reviewed journals. The first case of radical remission was reported in the 1890s, in a British medical journal. These cases have been reported literally since the beginning of medical journalism. And no one has touched them, because they’re afraid of raising false hope. Yet what’s worse than raising false hope is practicing bad science. And it is bad science to ignore outliers. I’ve met oncologists who say, “Yeah, I’ve been in practice for 40 years and I’ve seen four or five of these cases.” A proper researcher is scientifically obligated to investigate anomalies and try to figure out why they’re in the model, and then revise the hypothesis based on the presence of these outliers. That’s just Research 101. What were you up against to get your research taken seriously? A case report like Shin Teramaya’s is considered valid scientific evidence because it’s been fact-checked, it’s been proven. But it’s still what is called an “n of one,” or a sample size of one. In clinical studies, that’s the part that’s not persuasive. You think, “Oh, this is just one person, this wasn’t a trial with 500 or 1,000 people.”Where I did things differently is I looked at [the spontaneousremission cases] as a group, as a whole. I took these seemingly random, one-off events, and stepped back and said, “They all have cancer, and they all healed

after their doctors said they were going to die. Do they have anything in common if I research them in-depth?” And they did.That was something no one had done before. No one had tried to look at all of these case reports as a group and ask them research questions through that lens. In your interviews with survivors, you found nine factors they all shared. What were they? Initially in my research, I found 75 factors, or things people did, that may have hypothetically played a role in their healing. These included physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. Yet when I looked at the frequency of those factors, I saw that nine of them kept coming up over and over again in almost every interview. These nine key factors in radical remission are: radically changing your diet; taking control of your health; following your intuition; using herbs and supplements; releasing suppressed emotions; increasing positive emotions; embracing social support; deepening your spiritual connection; and having strong reasons for living. I want to add that [my research partners and I] are not against chemo, surgery, or radiation at all. We’re not against Western medicine. We just study people who heal without it, because those people represent a very special control group, scientifically. Rather than a prescription, this is a research report on the specific things these people did to heal their cancer.Will it work for anyone else but them? We don’t know yet.We just know that these nine factors worked for this group. We’ve heard a lot of this advice before.What’s new about these nine factors? True, these things are not brand new; people have been doing them for a long time. What’s even more interesting is that randomized clinical trials have been conducted on all nine of these factors. It’s been shown that they are safe and have been scientifically proven by other scientists, not by me, to improve your immune system. But the people I studied are doing all nine of these factors, not just one or two, and they’re doing them wholeheartedly. It’s not, “Okay, I’ll start eating a few more vegetables each day.” These are major overhauls of diet, or of the anger, resentment, and stress they hold in their lives—lifetransforming changes in each of these nine areas. So, that’s one thing that makes radical remission a little different. The other thing that I noticed is that they’re not necessarily doing all nine factors at exactly the same time. They might spend a few months focusing on diet and a little less on their emotional/spiritual life, and then once they get into the routine of the new diet, they have more time to focus on their emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Also, they all had strong reasons for living and a willingness to make changes. It’s not a sense of, “Oh, poor me, I have to change

all of these things.” They actually had this personality trait where they were excited to make changes because they felt it was something they could do, something they had control over. Yet making 180-degree lifestyle changes isn’t always easy, is it? No, it isn’t. For example, there’s John, who was originally diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer and had prostate surgery and all the traditional treatments. After doing all of that, including hormone-deprivation therapy, a few years later the cancer came back. At that point, it’s called Stage IV; the cancer was floating around in his bloodstream and lymph nodes. That’s when he went to the library to look for a book on how to prepare for death. But he couldn’t find one. And he just happened to walk by a book about how to beat cancer with nutrition. So, he thought, “Maybe I’ll take a look at this instead.” He radically changed his diet, and he misses his steak and wine so much! But he goes in for blood tests every two or three months, and when he slips in his diet he can see his PSA go up. PSA is the prostate-specific antigen; it’s a blood marker that indicates prostate cancer cells in your body. As it rises, it means cancer cells are growing, and as it goes down it means they are decreasing. He may not love the diet, but he loves life more. John is in his 60s now, and he’s a big hiker. He sends me pictures from the top of these crazy mountains. I emailed him back the other day and said, “You’re in better shape than I am; this is making me look bad!” Spontaneous healing is not a solo endeavor. What can you tell us about social support, which is factor No. 7 in your book? Social support is the love that you receive from your friends and family. There is a rich history of scientific research on it, and it’s one of these things that continues to baffle social scientists because it’s stronger than almost anything. It is protective to your health even when you are a smoker who’s overweight and doesn’t exercise and drinks a lot of alcohol. If you have an abundantly strong social support network, if you feel that you have the most amazing friends and family, while that perception won’t completely protect you from having a heart attack or cancer, it will be very protective of your health overall. They’ve done studies asking cancer patients, “How strong is your social support on a scale of

1 to 10?” And they’ve found that if you perceive you don’t have a lot of friends and family, say you self-report a score of 2, you’re actually twice as likely to die as someone who reports a score of 8. In my book, I tell the story of Kathryn, who was a single woman, divorced, in her 60s, and living alone when she was diagnosed with very advanced liver cancer. She had a low salary from her job as an adjunct professor and didn’t have medical insurance. So, she thinks, “Okay, this is it. I’m clearly going to die from this.” Yet this small church community that she had been a part of came out of the woodwork for her.They arranged meals and rides, and they did a fundraiser to pay for the alternative treatments that she intuitively wanted to have. She was just blown away, and she believes that the grace of others is the reason she’s alive today. One gift of her cancer is that she realized she was loved—not because she was a good friend or a good church member, but just because she was a human who was sick. I think it’s a wonderful lesson, especially in these current sociopolitical times, of loving your neighbor and giving them support just because they need it. You talk about not wanting to give false hope. But there’s a lot to be said for just plain hope. I agree that there’s false hope and then there’s real hope. It would be giving people false hope to say, “Do these nine things and you’ll beat your cancer.” At the moment, we don’t have the research to back that up—though we are currently working on getting funding for a clinical trial, which is our next step. Yet what gives people real hope is that these radical remission survivors exist in the thousands. I’ll get anywhere from three to five new cases a week submitted to our website [Radicalremission.com]. That’s three to five more reasons to believe that even the grimmest diagnosis can be overcome. I get a lot of emails from people who say, “Thank you for the hope. Thank you for allowing me to believe that if Shin or John or Kathryn can beat the diagnosis that I was just given, then maybe I can do it, too.” That’s one happy, unforeseen benefit of my work. Because to give people hope, especially in the face of fear—that’s a beautiful thing.

EVENT PREVIEWS & LISTINGS FOR JULY 2018

Shervin Lainez

Lady Rizo performs at the Ancram Opera House on July 7.

The Healing Power of Glitter Lady Rizo (aka Amelia Zirin-Brown), exploded out of the early ’00s New York cabaret underground like a glitter-packed grenade. The singer, comedienne, and actress’s dynamic and occasionally risqué shows combine theater, vaudeville, burlesque, performance art, classic torch songs, and kitsch pop tunes. Besides appearing at top venues around the world, Rizo has performed and recorded with Moby, Yo-Yo Ma (2008’s Grammywinning Songs of Joy & Peace), and “The Late Late Show with James Corden” emcee Reggie Watts. The sequined siren released her second album, Indigo, in 2017, and will light up the Hudson Valley with her new show, “Red, White, and Indigo: My Love-Hate Relationship with America,” at the Ancram Opera House this month. She answered a few questions for us via email below. Lady Rizo will perform at the Ancram Opera House on July 7 at 8:30pm. Tickets are $30. (518) 329-0114; Ancramoperahouse.org. —Peter Aaron You were raised in a small town on the Oregon coast by hippie parents—a much different environment than the glitzy New York cabaret scene you’ve made your name in. What was it about the world of the Great American Songbook and singers like Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, and Edith Piaf that most spoke to you when you discovered it? I was raised in a granola-crunching environment, yes. But theater was queen. I had the benefit of being raised by a renegade community theater company that performed Brecht and Shakespeare in barns and basements. The masters of the [Great American] Songbook are most adept at expressing longing, drama, story, pathos, [and] joy in an incredibly economic fashion. You get a picture in four minutes. You’re known for adapting a lot of contemporary music to fit the classic torch song style. What qualities does a “modern” song need in order for it to work, such settings? Can you give us some examples?

When there is a yearning behind the song…I love singing Britney Spears’s “Toxic,” for example. This conflict of wanting something that you know is wrong gives it the tension that torch songs have. And it’s such a great pop song on its own—I’ve actually performed my version for Britney! Besides being a glamorous artist with a hectic performing schedule, you also have a very young a son. How has being a mom manifested itself in your music? Yes, Tennyson is two and a half now. It’s funny, at that age the “half” makes a big difference. I’m not quite sure how it’s affected my music yet, but I know that it’s informed my performances. I did a show where I explored the concepts of motherhood, and I sang a lullaby with him nursing while I did it. It made straight, grown men weep effortlessly. Your local appearance this month is at the Ancram Opera House, a former Grange Hall in a farming community—an unexpected spot for cabaret, to be sure. What was the most unusual or memorable venue you’ve played in, and what made it interesting? Every once in a while, I get to do a little secret show at an outdoor sauna/shower venue inside a festival in Oregon under the stars, where most of the audience is naked but I’m not. In order not to be nervous, I imagine them without skin. Can you tell us a little about your current show, “Red, White, and Indigo”? I make my shows focusing on what has occupied my mind most lately. This was a new experience of having the topic shared by many of my countrymen—and that is patriotism, what we feel about America, how to save it, should we save it? I wish for audiences to walk away with some pride about the idea of the “melting pot” and to rejoice in the pure feeling of liberty that often gets coopted by the machinery of political maneuvering. And to be eased by the healing power of glitter. 7/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 93

“We are a great country, an unselfish country, a compassionate country.” Excerpts from Ed Sander's Broken Glory: The Final Years of Robert F. Kennedy

What the Fug?

He also founded the literary journal Fuck You/A Magazine of the Arts. In the course of 246 remarkably prolific. His book The Family, about a 57-year Sanders has been career, T here was a stairwell Charles in 1971. Based on his manifesto, Investigative Poetry— Manson, oappeared ff to the side of recently republished bythe Spuyten Duyvil Press—he has composed numerous bookRFK podium length America: A History in BVerse. The Fugs still poems, including the nine-volume leading down to the Ambassador allroom exist, and are preparing to celebrate 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival in wherethe RFK was 2019. Sanders’s new book, the “graphic history” Broken Glory: The Final Years of Robert F. Kennedy—a verse history illustrated by Rick Veithch—suggests that Sirhan Sirhan 246 was not Kennedy’s assassin, but the victim of an elaborate plot involving governmentsanctioned hypnosis. I met with Sanders in his cottage on a mountain overlooking Woodstock: a large room piled with books, CDs, papers—and, on a prominent table, that day’s New York Times. We spoke as three parakeets and a parrotlet squawked commentary to our conversation. Ed Sanders will read from Broken Glory at the Kingston Artists Collective on July 1 at 3pm. Event information is on Kingston Artists Collective’s Facebook page. —Sparrow Two key decisions to make in a book like Broken Glory: Where to begin it and where to end it. I begin with the death of Robert’s brother, because it was the assassination of John Kennedy that was a primal fuel for Robert Kennedy’s decision to run for president. That may have been a factor in causing his enemies to bump him off, because he told a lot of friends that if he were elected president he’d open up an investigation of his brother and bring those who killed him to justice.

And the ending? I end it with the cover-up beginning, right after Robert F. Kennedy was shot. The coroner, Thomas Noguchi, did meticulous tests during and after the autopsy, and found that the bullet that killed Kennedy was shot no more than one inch behind his right ear. Sirhan was never less than three to five feet from Kennedy. The assassin was right behind Kennedy, crouched down, firing at an upward angle. He fired three bullets that entered RFK from close behind him. And I provide information in my book that the powers that prosecuted Sirhan Sirhan switched the bullet. Noguchi initialed each bullet fragment, and the bullet at the trial doesn’t match Noguchi’s markings. There was a Polish journalist named Stanislaw Pruszynski who covered the assassination for a Montréal paper and was taping right during the shooting. His tape lurked in the Robert Kennedy archive in California for many years, `til it was discovered by a CNN reporter. They did a digital study of this tape and found that there were 13 shots fired in the kitchen pantry at the Ambassador Hotel. And Sirhan’s .22 pistol only shot eight slugs. And you suggest that Sirhan Sirhan was hypnotized by government agents. The government, the Army, the CIA spent many, many millions of dollars from the late `40s up through ’72 on “robo-washing”—unwitting hypnosis of individuals to make them commit crimes against their will. And all those files were ordered destroyed by [CIA Director] Richard Helms when Nixon fired him, in late 1972. But there have been wonderful hearings by governmental agencies into MK-Ultra and ARTICHOKE. You know,

they had strange names. The most recent was called “Often-Chickwit.” “We are a great country, an unselfish country, The main argument for Sirhan being hypnotized is that he himself doesn’t remember a compassionate country.” shooting Kennedy, and doesn’t have a very compelling reason for the assassination. The authorities prevented anybody from hypnotizing Sirhan to retrieve his memories. But, finally around 2010, a Harvard psychiatrist named Dr. Daniel Brown, working for Sirhan’s defense, hypnotized and interviewed Sirhan for 60 hours over a two-year period. Sirhan finally came forth with his memories, how he was led by a woman wearing a polka-dot dress to the kitchen where Kennedy walked after giving his speech. There were thousands of people dancing and partying, celebrating; the Ambassador Hotel was utterly packed with revelers, because Kennedy had just won a powerful victory—178 delegates from California. Kennedy was brought to the kitchen, where Sirhan was sitting with the woman in the polka-dot dress, and, all of a sudden, she began to pinch him. She whirled him around and pointed at the door just as Robert Kennedy entered. She said: “Look! Look! Look!” And Sirhan left her and went toward him and started firing. At that same time, according to three witnesses, the second gunman shot a weapon on the other side of Kennedy. In a poignant moment, a 17-year-old employee of the hotel named Juan Romero went down to the floor with Kennedy, cradled him in his arms, and told him, “It’ll be okay.” Then he wrapped a crucifix and rosary beads around Kennedy’s hand. As I understand it, you’re saying that these cold-blooded killers who shot Robert F. Kennedy didn’t want to be detected, so they found a patsy, a slightly disoriented, lonely guy, for the public to blame. Is that right? Yeah, that’s pretty much it. American history was twisted and contorted by Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. The war in Vietnam would have ended four years before it did, and 20,000 American youth would not have been killed in Vietnam, and probably hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese. And the drive toward a national healthcare system would have probably occurred. There would have been an easing of racial antagonisms in the United States. Kennedy had been through fire as attorney general overseeing the era of the Freedom Rides and the early marches for civil rights. America would have assumed a more benign, friendly outreach to the universe. But now there are 500 bases of American troops throughout the world, and we’re involved in Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, and throughout the Middle East. Robert Kennedy would not have been able to end all that, but he would have been an ameliorating force for the good of American history. Do you ever think: “Maybe I’m wrong, and Sirhan Sirhan was the lone assassin”? Of course you do, when you begin something. I commenced my book on the Manson Family because I thought they might be innocent. Then I quickly found out that they were very, very guilty. But I no longer think Sirhan Sirhan was the lone assassin. Can you discuss Investigative Poetry? When I wrote my book on Manson, the first draft I wrote in poetry form, with line breaks, in verse clusters, and then I had a typist turn it into squared-off columns. Later, I began writing poetry based on research, and in 1975 I wrote a manifesto called Investigative Poetry, whose principle was that poets should again assume responsibility for the writing of history. The ancient poems such as the Iliad and the Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid were the six o’clock news of their day, which people appreciated as the true histories of events. Speaking of the six o’clock news, what do you think of Donald Trump? Trump is Ronald Reagan times 10. We got past Reagan’s wars in Central America, and we’ll get past the Trumpageddon. 7/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 95

Happy Birthday, Uncle Willy! For 40 years, theRosendale Street Festival has brought local artists, music, food, and fun to its colorful, eclectic Main Street. What started as a birthday celebration for Rosendale icon Uncle Willy is now a full-blown, two-day affair that showcases local talent against the beautiful backdrop of Joppenbergh Mountain and the Rondout Creek. Tens of thousands will explore over 100 vendor booths, kid-friendly activities (such as the craft tent and drum circle), and a variety of live performances. This year, the festival welcomes a new, outdoor stage at Red Brick Tavern that will host some smaller acts like Spaghetti Eastern Music and Becoming Human. Amidst all the action, appreciate the rollicking nature and remnants of Rosendale history at every corner. “In 1978, it was quite a party, with only one stage and continuous music and mayhem,” says festival volunteer Carrie Wykoff. “Today it is much more organized and larger. We work with the town board and the Rosendale Police to ensure that it is safe and family friendly.” Here are 10 ways to spend the weekend when the free, community festival hits town on July 21 and 22. Rosendalestreetfestival.org/2018 —Briana Bonfiglio Show up in your tie-dye best. Celebrate the festival’s 40th anniversary by wearing tie-dye. Since its inception, tie-dye has been a staple of the ‘70s-born event. Bonus points for wearing a vintage festival shirt from 1978. “We’ll be keeping our eyes out and try to give gifts to those who attended the first street fest,” Wykoff says. Discover new music. With eight stages and over 100 bands scheduled to play, chances are there will be many performers that you’ve never heard of before. Take this opportunity to keep your ears open for your new favorite band or musician. Some performers to look out for: Gus Mancini, New Paltz School of Rock, Dog on Fleas, and Jimmy Eppard. Eat at the food truck court. Main Street restaurants will be open for business during the event, but the food truck court is perfect if you’re looking for on-the-go bites. Head to Willow Kiln Park to eat from about 15 different food trucks, ranging from seafood to Mexican. Catch a sneak preview of the original play “Truth!” On Saturday at 3pm, visit Red Wing Blackbird Theater to see snippets of a production about the life of Sojourner Truth. The original play, “Truth!,” features puppets, music, spoken word, and dance. It’s a collaboration between Redwing Blackbird Theater, the Center for Creative Education, The A. J. Williams-Myers African Roots Library, and Youth Arts at Rosendale Theater. See headliners Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones. Don’t miss this year’s festival headliner, Kingston-based rockabilly band Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones. (Hope was the winner of the 2017 Ameripolitan Music Award for Best Female Rockabilly Artist.) The four-piece country rockers have received both local and international recognition, and are just coming off their first European tour. Drink at the beer gardens. While alcohol is not permitted into the festival, there are two designated drinking areas in the beer gardens at Willow Kiln Park and the Creekside Stage on Snyder Avenue. Catch a break from the heat with some locally crafted beer and cider. Watch student films and performances at Rosendale Theater. Rosendale Street Fest has always been about highlighting local talent. Pop into the Rosendale Theater to see short films made by students from High Meadow School and Woodstock Day School. There will also be a performance by New Genesis Productions, a youth theater company that stages Shakespearen plays. Relax on the deck of the 1850 House Inn. The former Astoria Hotel was lovingly renovated a few years ago into a charming boutique hotel and restaurant. See if you can snag a table on the expansive back deck overlooking the Rondout Creek, far from the madding crowd, for a bite from their pub menu. It’s also the last spot in town to get sunlight, so soak in that golden end-of-day light while you sip a beverage. Hike up to the Railroad Trestle Bridge and enjoy the view looking back down. Take in Rosendale’s lush, mountainous views from over 100 feet off the ground. The Rosendale Trestle, an extension of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, is a 940-foot long, 150-foot high railroad trestle-turned-footbridge over the Rondout Creek, offering a full view of the party doown on Main Street. Where’s Uncle Willy? You may run into the man who started it all as you stroll down Main Street. If you do, make sure to say hello and get a photo with the local legend. In the ’70s William J. Guldy Jr. owned a bar in Rosendale called The Well. Guldy became known as Uncle Willy for his spunky, lively character and contributions to the town. He threw a birthday bash for himself every year on Main Street, and in 40 years it’s grown into the huge, community event that is the Rosendale Street Festival.

FESTIVALS WASSAIC PROJECT

Fun of the Mill If you’re looking for a touch of country life infused with creative art, you won’t have far to go this summer. Tucked away in Wassaic, a hamlet of Amenia, in eastern Dutchess County, the Wassaic Project is gearing up for their its anniversary summer festival on August 4th, which is chock full of music, art, dance, and film. The Project is a non-profit organization that strives to promote positive social change through art and art education. Ten years ago, three art-driven New York City 20-somethings ventured up to a historic plot of land to begin an exhibition complex. Over the years, they’ve converted the historic buildings on the property into a haven for art. The seven-story retired grain mill on the property, Maxon Mills, is now their main art gallery and Luther Barn is home to artists-in-residence. They have a year-long artist residency program, summer art camps for kids, artist lectures, and monthly open studios. The summer festival brings in an average of 3,000 eager participants: some local, many taking the last stop on the Metro-North Harlem line up from New York City. “We’re doing what we always do, but even better this year,” Eve Biddle, one of the three codirectors of Wassaic Project, says of the ten-year anniversary festival coming up. Some of the music headliners include Underground System, an Afrobeat-influenced indie dance band, and Innow Gnawa, a Northern African gnawa band (Moroccan blues music) hailing from New York City. Square Peg Round Hole, a percussion-driven trio, will be lending their talent for the day, as will Duo Chuno and O. B. The dance program for the festival is entirely filled with alumni from the past decade. The full lineup of dancers is already up on the website to check out. On the art side of things, Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom chime in about their

Clockwise from top left: Crush Club, photo by Veronica Gonzalez Mayoral; Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company, photo by Tony Turner; in Luther Barn creating Junk Jams, photo by Veronica Gonzalez Mayoral; Luther Barn Stage field, photo by Tim Soter. summer exhibition (May to September) on the top floor of Maxon Mills. Their current installation is sourced from casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. The married artists have been part of the Wassaic Project since 2009, and they add, “It has allowed us to have a permanent home base, without the stresses of the city but with the rich cultural capital that the project creates. Living here has afforded us the ability to travel to other residencies and countries to create a number of large exhibitions.” The exhibition will be open with extended hours the day of the festival, for all those specifically coming for art. But the Wassaic Project boasts that it has something for everyone at the festival. Biddle announces, “There is always something amazing happening—people who come for the music are blown away by the art and vice versa!” The Project cares deeply about the community it’s housed in. Its mission is entirely dedicated to the local Wassaic community, the greater New York community, and a world full of artists. The hamlet of Wassaic is all booked up for a summer festival like this, and businesses report increased customers. Symbiotically, the Wassaic Volunteer Fire Department runs parking for the event, and the two organizations join together to produce Wassaic Community Day each May. Community Day helps fund the Whale, a scholarship in honor of Wassaic firefighter Jason Whaley that assists Dover and Wassaic students pursuing higher education. Entrance to the Wassaic Project on August 4 is free, but a $30 suggested donation from those who are able will allow the programs to continue running smoothly.

THEATER HUDSON VALLEY SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

T. Charles Erickson

The cast of Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s production of "The Heart Of Robin Hood."

This Damsel’s a Real Dame Why are we so obsessed with the Robin Hood story? What is it about this heroic outlaw from the dark wood of English folklore that draws us to him? According to Suzanne Agins, director of the family-friendly production “The Heart of Robin Hood,” which is being staged through the end of August at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, it’s all about the blank slate. “We can project onto Robin Hood anything we’re looking for,” she says. “There’s something about the nature of the character that’s malleable, as I think many good mythological figures are. You can see him as a socialist figure. The Libertarians have held up Robin Hood as an exemplar. He can fit into any ideology.” For those unaware of the Robin Hood legend, our hero is a skilled archer and swordsman of the Middle Ages who is a champion of the common people against injustice, mostly the violence and mean-spiritedness of the usurper King John, through his henchman, the Sherriff of Nottingham. Robin Hood lives in Sherwood Forest with his band of Merry Men—Little John, Friar Tuck, et al.—robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. They live apart from society, the platonic ideal of a virtuous, male-only community; (or, depending upon your point of view, a hotbed of toxic masculinity). In this revisionist update, written by David Farr for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2011, Maid Marion (Robyn Kerr), a bored royal with a penchant for social justice and a desire for adventure, is the star of the show. Until her arrival, Robin Hood (Benjamin Bonefenant) and his band of brigands are just a bunch of low-down cutthroats out for personal gain. Luckily for the kingdom, Marion convinces Robin to change his ways and fight false king John (the deliciously villainous Sean McNall) until King Richard returns from the Crusades. The actor who steals the show however, is Wesley Mann, who plays Pierre, manservant

to Marion. A longstanding member of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival troupe, Mann has played a variety of comic roles over the past decade: Malvolio in “Twelfth Night,” Leonato in “Much Ado About Nothing,” Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and the Fool in “King Lear,” to name a few. At the performance I attended in mid-June, the audience cheered for Mann when he first took to the stage as if they were greeting an old friend. As Pierre, Mann sets the antic pace for the show, timing every gesture for maximum laughs. (The comedic highlight of the show, however, is a song-and-dance ensemble number at the beginning of the second act, “When You’re a Soldier in the Middle Age,” written specifically for this production by house composer Andrew Butler and choreographed by Tracy Bersley.) A note on the setting: Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival performances take place in a large tent on the grounds of the Boscobel estate on the Hudson River in Garrison. The opening of the tent faces west, toward the river, and it’s a tradition at the festival for plays to begin with a procession up and over the hill, and across the lawn while the sun is gently dipping down behind the Catskills across the river. It’s a downright magical atmosphere, and the cast of “Robin Hood” use it to their advantage in this fresh and spirited take on the well-worn legend. “The Heart of Robin Hood” will be performed in repertory with the “Taming of the Shrew,” and “Richard II” through the end of August at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival at Boscobel in Garrison. Special events and performances are planned throughout the summer. Hvshakespeare.org —Brian K. Mahoney 7/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 101

Dzieci Theater Company’s “Makbet” at Opus 40 You’ve never seen Shakespeare like this before. “Makbet” is an exciting, experimental take on a storied classic. In Dzieci Theater Company’s haunting interpretation of “Macbeth,” barely anything is prepared but the bones. No set. No lights. No music or sound effects. Just performers transcending a small space. All members have the entire play memorized and spontaneously switch roles in every sequence. The transformed, single-act production incorporates folk songs and chants from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Huffington Post drama critic David Finkle calls it an “eye-popping, ear-poking confirmation that Shakespeare once again constructed something not easily degraded.” Dzieci Theater is dedicated to healing and forming community through theater. Their intimate performance of “Makbet” comes to Opus 40 in Saugerties on July 7 at 6pm. (845) 246-3400; Opus40.org —Briana Bonfiglio

Woodstock House Tour In 1974, Robert Haney and David Ballantine put Woodstock architecture on the map with the publication of Woodstock Handmade Houses. This charming book documents the magical and makeshift homes of Aquarian Age homebuilders who sought to upend conformist architecture with their Buckminster Fuller-inspired domes, nomadic yurts, and thatched hobbit cottages straight from Tolkein. (See if you can snag a copy at the 87th annual Woodstock Library Fair on July 28.) While some of these experimental structures still stand—a drive through the woods surrounding the village often yields surprising sights in this regard—Woodstock’s architectural vernacular has evolved with its residents into a more mature, elegant style. For 10 years, the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild has offered tours of the town’s most stylish and spectacular homes, where visitors can sneak a peak at the architecture, gardens, interiors, and art collections of local residents whose homes mirror the tranquility and natural splendor of the Catskills. The self-guided tour takes place on July 14, from 11am to 4pm. A benefit cocktail party follows from 5 to 7pm. (845) 679-2079; Woodstockguild.org. —Brian K. Mahoney

MUSIC

Chita Rivera at Bard SummerScape When you’re a Broadway icon with almost 70 years on the stage and the recipient of multiple awards (including a 2018 Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement) and you’re assembling a career-spanning solo concert, how do you pick the numbers? “When you have this kind of longevity, you just know what works,” says Chita Rivera, 85, about “Chita! A Legendary Celebration,” which the actor, singer, and dancer brings to Bard College’s SummerScape festival this month. Rivera’s big break came with 1957’s original Broadway production of “West Side Story”; major roles in the Broadway debuts of “Bye, Bye Birdie,” “Chicago,” and “Kiss of the Spiderwoman” followed, and her innumerable other career highlights include “Can-Can,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Call Me Madam,” “The Rink, “The Visit,” and the film version of “Sweet Charity.” Rivera will perform at the Bard SummerScape Spiegeltent on July 28 at 7 and 9:30pm. Tickets start at $45. (845) 758-7900; Fishercenter.edu. —Peter Aaron

Elliott De Cesare’s window installations are currently on display at Bergdorf Goodman. Elliott De Cesare has gone to the dogs—for inspiration. For his latest window installation (on display through mid-July) at Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan, De Cesare has created a canine compound on the corner of 58th Street and Fifth Avenue. The New York City-based multimedia artist, who maintains a studio in Warwick, was inspired by his observations of dog owners and their pets. A core aspect of De Cesare’s artistic regimen is to act the part of the anthropologist, documenting reality before bending it to his own artistic ends. For his windows at Bergdorf Goodman, De Cesare started with the paintings, building on them as a foundation to build a diorama of poodle-like people, a kind of reverse anthropomorphism. “I began by considering the idea of people grooming and dressing their poodles and sought to translate the surreal quality of humans projecting themselves into the identities of their animals,” says De Cesare. “Conversing with dogs, dressing and grooming them to our ideals, are all experiences mirroring the mythological and psychological state of the contemporary self.” Portfolio: Elliottdecesare.com 112 CHRONOGRAM 7/18
