Do your research on which trails and parks are dog friendly prior to heading out on the trail.

Keep your dog on a leash at all times.

Make sure your dog has updated identification tags on and is microchipped.

Keep your dog up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Hiking can be high risk for exposure to parasites.

Ask your veterinarian which vaccines they recommend for dogs that will be hiking partners, prior to hitting the trails.

Bring lots of water and a travel bowl. Offer your dog water frequently.

Allow for rest periods, especially when you are beginning to condition your dog for longer hikes.

Bring extra food and treats. Dogs burn a lot of calories when exercising.

Watch for signs of heat exhaustion – excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and bright red gums. Bring your dog to a veterinarian immediately if your dog is showing these signs.

Bring waste disposal bags and pick up after pet.

YOU HAD YOUR SAY ON C-VILLE.COM Fired up: Female restaurant professionals get the support they’re craving—from each other Nice explanation and description of the rigors of becoming a chef for a woman... which has always intrigued me since one usually hears of the woman in the house being the cook, and of many men that don’t know how to boil water! I’m happy to hear that things are beginning to change—at least in Charlottesville!

Sorry to see the math errors, inconsistencies, and misrepresentations in the “It’s about crime” piece on page 9 of the August 29 issue.

They bring all of the data into question.

To wit: A 500 percent increase in homicides yielding a value of 6 would mean that last year there were 1.2 homicides. That seems unlikely. I think the multiplier you are looking for is 600 percent. Also, in some cases the article uses the decimal 10th but in other cases it doesn’t. Why? And the use of the same-sized big arrows for every case of increase, regardless of the magnitude of the increase, gives an inaccurate impression. Four of the increases are less than 10 percent and three are less than 3 percent, negligible at best.

We get the gist of the presentation. Crime is up in the county, which is certainly an issue worth covering in more depth. Until that happens, please resist the temptation to unnecessarily sensationalize the information. It does not reflect well on a proud news team. And maybe just give your readers the raw numbers and let them do the math.

IN BRIEF

Two officers shot Gunfire at Hardy Drive September 8 left three men wounded, including two officers who responded to reports of shots at 8:43pm, and Timothy Lamont Miles, 27, who was charged with attempted capital murder and felon with a gun. Miles, who is known to police, has a lengthy rap sheet that includes a history of brandishing firearms, burglary, multiple assaults, resisting arrest, and multiple other charges.

A billboard was recently erected on East High Street to support the removal of Confederate statues.

‘Monumental change needed’

The father of Dennis “DJ” Eddy, who had been working for Time Disposal a short time when an Amtrak train slammed into the garbage truck in which he was a passenger and killed him, filed a $10 million lawsuit against CSX, which owns the track, and Buckingham Branch, which operates it. Multiple people have said there were frequent problems with the crossing arm.

residents. Charlottesville already is 12 inches above average, with over 41 inches of rain as of September 10, according to Weather Underground. At press time, the National Hurricane Center has Charlottesville mapped to receive 10 inches of rain from Florence.

More preliminary reports: Some bottled water shortages have already appeared, and expect gas prices to go up.

The fight over Foxfield continues Parties in a lawsuit over whether the Garth Road property that’s home to the Foxfield Races can be sold for development expected a judge to make a decision September 11.

At the hearing in Albemarle Circuit Court, more than a dozen horse racing fans had green stickers on their lapels that featured a cartoon fox and said, “Save Foxfield Races.”

Instead of reaching a decision, Judge Cheryl Higgins took motions under advisement. She asked for more evidence from attorneys defending the Foxfield Racing Association, which now owns the property and wants to sell it, and from those representing seven Albemarle residents with connections to the races who are fighting the potential sale.

Charlottesville was relatively unscathed from last year’s big hurricanes: Harvey and Category 5s Irma and Maria.

In February, a jury found Jeff Winder guilty of assaulting Jason Kessler at his August 13, 2017, press conference in front of City Hall.

The alleged assaulter appealed the conviction, and was found guilty again last week, when a new jury fined him $1 for slugging the man who planned the Unite the Right rally. Afterward, an outpouring of people asked on social media if they could also punch Kessler for a buck.

Paying the price

The plaintiffs say the original landowner, Mariann S. de Tejada, said in her will that the land should remain intact in perpetuity for the races. The Foxfield Racing Association argues that de Tejada didn’t specifically state the creation of a trust for the property.

Higgins said she isn’t able to determine whether there’s a trust that would prevent the sale, and also suggested a settlement between the parties.

“Our objective is to protect the Foxfield Races—if not by a settlement, then by a continuation of the lawsuit,” plaintiffs attorney Bill Hurd said outside the courthouse. He also said he’s “happy to” dig up more evidence to prove an intended trust.

Water line to nowhere Former city councilor calls out ‘potentially illegal’ pipeline vote

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

A

t a meeting in late August, members of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority’s board of directors voted to add $7 million to its budget to install part of a controversial water pipeline in Albemarle, even though just a month before, they said they had no plans to start building it.

Critics say the $7 million, one-mile pipeline is political and a “boondoggle.”

It’s part of an $82-million, nine-mile pipeline that will connect the South Fork Rivanna and Ragged Mountain reservoirs.

The one-mile section that the RWSA now has the funds to build will run through the Birdwood Golf Course, which will be closed for reconstruction.

“I did say there was no plan [to build the pipeline], but that was really to the ninemile section of pipe with exception to this one-mile section of pipe,” says RWSA Executive Director Bill Mawyer. “Maybe I should have put an asterisk in there [and said] except for the Birdwood section.”

Dede Smith, a former city councilor who has a long history of opposing the pipeline, says building at Birdwood now because it’s being renovated—and assuming it won’t be renovated again in the next 50 years—is “ludicrous.”

The pipeline was included in a community water supply plan created between 2002 and 2012, which deemed the project necessary to provide enough water for the community in the coming years. City Council has instructed that construction on the pipeline begin between 2027 and 2040 to meet those demands—but its necessity has been hotly debated.

“This isn’t about Birdwood, or the necessity of the pipeline, it’s political,” Smith said in an email to the board the day before it voted. “And the decision to spend $7 million turns to potentially illegal.”

She asked board members to consider what the city and Albemarle County Service Authority could do with $7 million to upgrade their infrastructure and further reduce water demand—the reason, she says, there’s no need for the pipeline.

In-depth research by Rich Gullick—a former RWSA director of operations, who resigned from his job in protest in February—concludes that actual water demand has been far less than what the authority projected, and the pipeline won’t be needed until at least 2048—or 2062, if the Ragged Mountain Reservoir water level is raised an additional 12 feet first, which Mawyer says can’t happen unless demand increases significantly.

Budget busters Finding the funding for affordable housing, schools

By Melissa Moody reporter@c-ville.com

T

Councilors Wes Bellamy, Kathy Galvin, Heather Hill, and Nikuyah Walker have to figure out how to fund the city’s affordable housing goals.

attorney of the Charlottesville office of the Legal Aid and Justice Center. “The city—the residents, the developers and those who need affordable housing—know that the history of systemic and institutional racism in Charlottesville and the country are directly linked to affordable housing needs today.”

The low-income housing coalition’s goals, aligned with those of the Public Housing Association of Residents, are that the city: prioritize extremely low-income housing; increase funding for the Redevelopment and Housing Authority, including issuing the first $50-million bond; earmark revenue for CRHA so that it has a stable source of income; increase funding for the Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund to support nonprofit developers of affordable housing by at least four-fold; upzone areas of high opportunity for affordable housing; purchase and

SUPPLY AND DEMAND ■ Public housing units: 376 ■ City rental assistance vouchers: 450 ■ People on the waitlist for public housing or assistance: 1,866 ■ Years many of those people have been on waitlist: often more than eight ■ Units the city needs to serve low-income residents: 3,975—or 20 percent of the city’s housing supply

dedicate land for CRHA and nonprofit developers; and collaborate with major players in the area to develop workforce housing.

Murphy emphasized the need for council to prioritize projects to meet its goals—particularly in light of the fact that some of the goals exceed the current budget. Mayor Nikuyah Walker and councilors Wes Bellamy, Kathy Galvin, and Heather Hill agreed on the need to plan the budget strategically, to specifically address major projects like affordable housing and school modernization and expansion through more work sessions devoted to those topics in particular, and to bring in internal and external partners for input.

The cost to meaningfully address affordable housing redevelopment and maintenance and school expansion and modernization each exceed the current five-year CIP budget, Hill said. “Working with CRHA, Charlottesville City Schools, and other stakeholders to flesh out the actual costs and required timelines is critical to setting priorities.”

Community contributions to these conversations are also vital, according to council members.

Bellamy noted the importance of continuing discussions about how to fund affordable housing redevelopment and maintenance.

“I think we at the very minimum, because of the history of our community and things that have transpired, we owe that much to our public housing residents.”

Council is planning to meet with housing representatives by late November. The budget discussions will continue across departments and come back to City Council in March 2019.

his is a story about numbers.

The number of families currently served by public housing and rental assistance vouchers: 826. The number of people on the waitlist for public housing or assistance: 1,866. The number of units Charlottesville needs to serve low-income residents: 3,975—or 20 percent of the city’s housing supply—in a city where 54 percent of the households qualify as low-income, very low-income, or extremely low-income.

And now there is a new number—$50 million.

That’s the amount of a bond the Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition requested for affordable housing redevelopment and improvement that was discussed at a City Council capital improvement program budget work session September 6.

“At this point, housing for low-income residents within the city, outside of subsidized units, is pretty much non-existent,” said neighborhood planner Brian Haluska.

“The rental vacancy rate in the city is 1.7 percent, while a healthy vacancy rate is around 5 percent.

“It’s hard to see a path forward using just market forces to provide additional housing for low-income residents.”

City Manager Mike Murphy and city staff briefed councilors on existing projects, unfunded improvements and new projects, and deferred maintenance for the city to be included in the CIP plan for the next five years.

Increased funding for new affordable housing initiatives was a major focus of the session, as was expansion and modernization of city schools, both of which would cause substantial increases in the city’s budget over the next five years.

City staff briefed councilors on the current budget, including $131 million of debt that is paid by taxes and utility revenue, and the city’s policy of maintaining a 9 percent debt service to operating expense ratio, with a ceiling of 10 percent. According to staff, an increase in the city’s debt to fund new affordable housing initiatives would increase the debt service ratio or need to be backed by an increase in revenue streams.

But the issue also is a story about people and the repercussions of a history that echo across generations—from the work of enslaved people at the University of Virginia 200 years ago to the displacement and destruction of Vinegar Hill just 50 years in the past.

“Affordable housing is an issue of our city’s values,” said Elaine Poon, managing

September 12 – 18 2018 c-ville.com

According to Mawyer, the current water demand in the local service area is about 9 million gallons per day, compared to a supply of 16 million gallons per day.

Citing another study, he says the community will need more water by 2040—compared to Gullick’s calculation of two decades later— and the RWSA has commissioned a new study to reevaluate the projected demand.

Despite it maintaining that it won’t decide when to build the full pipeline until those results come in next year, the board plans to proceed in November with the $7 million, onemile chunk of pipeline, which will stay empty.

“We’ll plug the ends and leave it in that condition,” says Mawyer.

Gullick calls it a “boondoggle,” and says it’s clear why the RWSA is rushing to build the first mile of the water line.

“All this is is a ploy to get the pipe started so that they can use it as an excuse to finish it,” he says. “They’re showing their hand, and they clearly don’t care what the new data says.”

The RWSA has claimed the pipeline won’t degrade while it sits unused and unfilled, possibly for decades, but Gullick says he doesn’t buy it.

“Water in the soil will be more corrosive than the water in the pipe,” he says. “What doesn’t degrade over time? It’s metal.”

Gullick was unable to attend the August 28 meeting where the vote to build at Birdwood was held. So was Smith.

“To selectively tax urban water rate payers $7 million for a project that has been both discredited by current data and politically motivated (worse yet by those who will not pay) is scandalous at best,” Smith said in her letter.

Smith and Gullick say Liz Palmer, a board member and Albemarle County supervisor, has been a main advocate for the pipeline, though her constituents in the Samuel Miller district don’t pay urban water bills. County rate payers will pay 80 percent, and city ratepayers will pay the remaining 20 percent.

Palmer counters that she has many constituents on public water, particularly south of I-64 and west of Fifth Street in developments such as Redfields and the many apartment complexes in the area. Once the pipeline is built, the RWSA will close the nearly 100-yearold Sugar Hollow line, and the Moormans River will “return to a more natural flow,” as required by a Department of Environment Quality permit, she says in an email.

Smith also says the most surprising vote came from Gary O’Connell, the executive director of the Albemarle County Service Authority and former city manager, “whose only role on that board is to protect the interests of county water rate payers. ...And it is the county water rate payer who will be hurt the most when their rates go up to pay 80 percent of the cost of this pipeline to nowhere.”

O’Connell says the ACSA board has consistently supported the water supply plan, and within the agreement, its customers are also allocated 80 percent of the capacity of the new pipeline.

He says the ACSA is very mindful of its rates, and the average residential bill is about 22 percent less than that of a comparable city customer. “Our area is growing, so we need to be focused on a growing water system,” he says.

INVESTING TO RETIRE: 4-WEEK SERIES with Jorgen Vik

September 12 – 18 2018 c-ville.com

harlottesville residents are again losing their patience with irregular deliveries from the United States Postal Service.

Conan Owen, owner of Relax and Rejuvenate on Arlington Boulevard, says he has repeatedly experienced gaps in service over the past year. “They’re skipping the building entirely,” he says.

Owen says the delays have disrupted his company’s payroll system. “I was literally waiting for a $10,000 check. I got it the next day and it put off my payment schedule.”

Post office representatives have provided little assistance. “You cannot reach the Charlottesville USPS postmaster,” he says. “You can get a clerk who passes a message and they never get back.”

Owen says he emailed the postal service about irregular deliveries several times without a response. Nearly a month after the first complaint, USPS Marketing Manager Benjamin Farmer replied, telling Owen that he “will follow up with the offices and have the postmaster give you a call.”

Eight days later, Owen emailed Farmer again to inform him that he has not heard from the postmaster and that problems with his mail service have persisted. As of this writing, Farmer has yet to reply.

The postmaster’s contact information is not publicly listed. To lodge a complaint, residents must go to their local post office or call the agency’s general service line.

C-VILLE’s attempts to contact Postmaster Cloteal Farmer were unsuccessful.

The post office was established by the United States Constitution to ensure that

all residents would receive mail regardless of who they were or where they lived. But it differs from other government agencies in that it is financed by postal stamps in lieu of taxpayer funds.

In the mid-aughts, this unusual structure plunged the post office into fiscal distress as email and online banking began to replace paper mail as Americans’ preferred mode of correspondence. While revenue was declining, the federal government struck another blow to its budget in 2006 by passing a law requiring the agency to fund employee health care plans in advance of their retirement.

The USPS promptly downsized to close its budget deficit, laying off employees and scaling back operations nationwide. In 2010, Charlottesville cut costs by merging its processing and distribution center with the Richmond branch.

The austerity measures kept the service afloat, but administrative problems quickly transpired. The volume of delayed mail doubled between 2009 and 2011, leaving Richmond with the largest quantity of delayed mail in the country.

Complaints from residents surged and the USPS Office of Inspector General stepped in to conduct an audit, which concluded the Charlottesville-Richmond center was both understaffed and overburdened, resulting in a massive delivery backlog.

Subsequently, complaints about the postal service were covered by local news outlets, including C-VILLE, where we wrote about instances of irregular delivery twice last year, after receiving tips from local neighborhoods and businesses on the Downtown Mall—and the recent reports of mail delays suggest the post office’s problems have yet to be resolved.

Shoegate Miller Center of controversy

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

T

he usually staid UVA institution devoted to the study of the U.S. presidency has recently found itself mired in controversy, first with the hiring of Trump administrator Marc Short, and then with the August 31 resignation of Miller Center board member Fred Scott—and the revelation of resignations of two other unnamed board members because of inappropriate behavior.

Politico broke the “shoegate” story that precipitated the resignation of Scott, whose family name is on Scott Stadium and who sold his Bundoran Farm, now a high-end preservation development, in 2005.

Scott offered to take 10 female Miller Center staffers shopping at deluxe shoe boutique Scarpa, and some were offended by the shopping spree Scott said was in honor of his mother’s 102nd birthday, according to emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. In a May 2, 2017, email, Scott admits he’s been called “clueless” before and apologized for his misstep. But it was an email the next day that led to his resignation more than a year later.

In that missive to then-council chair Gene Fife with a subject line “What set them off,” Scott really stepped in it with observations such as, “There are no United White People College Funds or White Students’ Alliances or Men Against Drunk Driving. Even at a ‘tolerant university’... especially there! Women’s Initiative. We both support it. Is there a Men’s Initiative???”

He speculated that some people “just like to stir up trouble” and may not be the best to promote and others “dislike/envy those who are more successful, privileged, or powerful.”

As a result of Shoegate and the misbehavior of two unnamed Governing Council members at an October 17, 2017, dinner, the Miller Center adopted a code of conduct in January that instructs council members “not to discriminate against, harass, or exert authority or undue influence” on staff or faculty, according to a statement from the center.

Scott declined to comment, but in his resignation letter, he professed puzzlement at the reaction to what was supposed to be a generous offer, and said he had “no interest in putting anyone in an awkward situation.”

But she learned of her sister’s secret struggle with alcohol and other substances after Yowell-Rohm’s recent separation from her husband.

“She, in my view, was a social drinker,” said Maynard. “I know differently now.”

After what Maynard called “the football incident,” when Yowell-Rohm assaulted an EMT who was tending to a patient in critical care at the November 2017 UVA vs. Virginia Tech game at Scott Stadium and tried to get into the ambulance with the patient, Maynard said, “that was so crazily uncharacteristic of any rational person, we knew it had to be more than just alcohol.”

Yowell-Rohm has since worked her way through every treatment program at the local jail and received treatment at the Farley Center in Williamsburg, according to her attorney, Rhonda Quagliana.

Quagliana argued that felony convictions in the “very public” trial were punishment enough. Judge Humes Franklin sentenced Yowell-Rohm to five years with four suspended for felony cruelty or injury to a child, three years with two suspended for assaulting the EMT, and 12 months with all suspended for operating her home daycare without a license.—Samantha Baars

Paying Cash On The Spot

A Forest Lakes woman who pleaded guilty to child cruelty in May for neglecting more than a dozen kids at an unlicensed daycare will serve two years in jail.

“I would like to publicly apologize to all the parents,” said a tearful Kathy Yowell-Rohm, before a judge pronounced her sentence September 7 in Albemarle Circuit Court. “Please know that I have always, always loved your children.”

When police were called to her home last December, they found approximately 16 infants and toddlers, some strapped in urine-soaked chairs and swings, and almost all of them with dirty diapers.

About 10 parents of the children Yowell-Rohm cared for were present in the courtroom, and prosecutor Darby Lowe said one of them wrote in a victim impact statement that learning what happened at that daycare was “one of the hardest days of [their] life.”

Friends and family of Yowell-Rohm, who wore a gray blazer and her blonde hair wound tightly in a bun, also packed the courthouse. Her sister, Kimberly Maynard, spoke about the “fabulous” marriage, “model family,” and “nice home” the defendant once had.

“People were begging for her to watch their children because she had such a stellar reputation,” Maynard said.

Arts and minds

September 12 – 18 2018 c-ville.com

There is much we can learn about our world, about ourselves and others, about proximity and difference, by looking at art.

Stand in front of a painting, a sculpture, a drawing, it’s hard not to find something to connect with.

Perhaps you notice a particular shade of red, or the way a shadow falls on a woman’s arm just so. Maybe you don’t know what that bronze sculpture is, but to you it looks like it’s melting into the floor. Maybe you’ve heard that this artist faced terrible hardship in her life and made beautiful work from it.

Being open to these feelings, these thoughts, says art historian and curator Andrea Douglas, can help us grow as people. But so many of us close ourselves off to the possibility, saying, “I don’t understand art. It’s not for me.”

But that’s simply not true, says Douglas. Art museums and galleries exist to provide a space for viewers to have conversations with the art, conversations that lead to the opportunity to both appreciate and struggle with wonder, with beauty, with difficult questions in an essentially sacred space—an exercise that can serve us well outside museum and gallery walls.

Charlottesville museums and galleries, most of which are free and open to the public, are working to expand audiences, engage new ideas, and put art newbies at ease.

“Even if it’s stuffy, even if you walk in and you feel as if this is not your place,” Douglas says, once you’re inside, the conversation that you have with the work inside is nobody’s conversation but your own.

art is art of our time, not just our place, says Chiacchia, which is why she exhibits work by local and regional artists as well as international artists, like Nigerian American sculptor Adejoke Tugbiyele and Aboriginal Australian artist Regina Pilawuk Wilson, among others, all with the intent of expanding the perspective of viewers and any local artist who might come see the work and even meet the artists themselves. “One way you improve, whether you’re a writer, a musician or a visual artist, is to surround yourself with other people doing these sorts of things, who will challenge you and get you thinking,” says Chiacchia.

Greg Kelly, an artist and a co-founder of The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative who now chooses shows for the Studio IX coworking space gallery, curates because he finds other people’s ideas more interesting than his own. Kelly prefers to show work that engages “timely and relevant issues that are impacting us nationally,” such as immigration, drug addiction, and human trafficking, and he often prizes content and message over formal quality.

Kelly welcomes guest curators to Studio IX as well, folks who have a vision for how to present, say, a themed show about motherhood, an experience he doesn’t know firsthand.

Henry Skerritt, curator at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection—the only museum outside of Australia dedicated to Aboriginal Australian art—also relinquishes curatorial control, and on a much larger scale. “These are not my stories; they belong to the indigenous people of Australia,” says Skerritt of the Kluge-Ruhe’s exhibitions, which often feature work by contemporary artists who travel halfway around the world, sometimes from very remote communities, to show their work and lead workshops at the Kluge-Ruhe. Indigenous Australian people—their voices, their practices, their culture—have long been oppressed by colonizers, and allowing these artists the option to curate their own shows ensures that they have full agency over how their work and their culture is presented.

Skerritt says he’s more of a facilitator than a curator, giving space and respect to an artist’s vision while facilitating a conversation between the artist and the viewer of their work. It’s not so much curating art as it is curating communities, says Skerritt.

Community is a particular focus of the New City Arts Initiative’s Welcome Gallery, which director Maureen Brondyke says was created—and named—with the intention of welcoming emerging artists and community members into the local art scene.

ndrea Douglas has always been moved by art.

She started painting when she was very young, and while still very young, she realized she would not be an Italian Renaissance painter. She was devastated, but she continued to paint—nobody told her not to.

When Douglas was about 15, her sister leaned on one of Douglas’ freshly painted works, tore it and devastated Douglas all over again. “The grief I felt from that moment was so deep, that then I realized I did not ever want to feel that again,” she says, and she started to shift toward a different life in the arts.

“That’s how I became a curator and art historian: to move out of my devastation,” Douglas says with a laugh. “The artist makes the work and the curator presents the work.”

Douglas, who was curator of exhibitions and contemporary art at The Fralin Museum of Art at UVA (then the Bayly Art Museum) before becoming executive director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center (where she designs permanent historical and rotating contemporary exhibitions), curates because she deeply appreciates that art makes her feel.

She’s felt the joy of witnessing beauty in a painting and the devastation that comes with seeing it torn. She’s felt her breath quicken when noticing how photographer Roy DeCarava treats lights, darks, and shadow. She’s been rendered inconsolable by photographs of the women who started the anti-apartheid movement, the determination on their faces captured on film.

Those feelings didn’t just come from the artists’ works; they came from the way the works spoke to one another, and to Douglas, in each exhibition. Curators prompted those conversations.

Just as an artist never simply “makes the work,” a curator never simply “presents the work.” Curators spend years honing their craft, and they consider hosts of things when developing exhibitions: Exhibitions require months—sometimes years—of research before anyone hammers a nail into the wall to hang the first picture.

Charlottesville museums and galleries offer dozens of opportunities to be affected by art. What’s more, the exhibitions change regularly, so there’s always something new to see...or a new way to see something familiar.

“I don’t want Charlottesville to be behind in what they’re seeing,” says Kristen Chiacchia, executive director and chief curator of Second Street Gallery, which for 45 years has focused on bringing the best in contemporary art to central Virginia. Contemporary

lament the fact that artists are not often paid well (if at all) for their work, even when the work is extraordinary. This makes it difficult for artists to live and work in Charlottesville without holding down another, more reliable job to pay rent and keep food on the table.

McLeod, who has moved her gallery (and had to close working studio spaces) multiple times because of rising rent costs, acknowledges that not everyone has the extra money to spend on art for their homes—that’s why museums and galleries, often free here in town, are so precious—but there are plenty who could. She challenges companies and corporations to lead by example and buy artists’ work to display in their offices instead of opening up in-office galleries where they can enjoy free art all the time and pay artists in “exposure.”

If our community is to understand art as a valuable means of understanding ourselves and our world, curators say we should support our artists, not just in word but in action. We should support artists because art can change us, for the better.

Skerritt says that in an increasingly global world, where different people are more connected than ever due to technology, widespread effects of climate change, migration, and more, it’s paramount to engage with one of the most important questions of our day: How do we deal with increasing proximity of difference?

We can look at art.

“Having these really contemplative spaces where you can go and contemplate what it would mean to communicate cross-culturally, in the most profound and beautiful way,” by looking at humankind’s ability to comprehend our world through art and thereby engaging at once with difference and sameness in a way that is not shouting or arguing but is gentle, is an extraordinary thing, says Skerritt.

“It’s the role of a gallery in any community [to be] a place where you can come in, sit, and quietly engage in something that has a language that you resonate with,” says Douglas, speaking not just as a curator but from experience. “And if it doesn’t have the language that you resonate with, it then has a language that you might struggle with, but you’ve gotta be willing to do the struggle. And the act of that? If you’ve got 100 people who have engaged in that action? For a community, that’s a place of growth.” —Erin O’Hare

exhibiting work by artists of color or focused on people of color (particularly black people) in a credentialed, curated space, the gallery offers visibility that, while increasing in this moment in time, has not always existed in the local art scene.

Charlottesville fancies itself an arts town, and it’s true that there’s an abundance of art happening here, in museums and galleries, on stages, in living rooms and basement studios. But curators of local galleries express frustration with the amount of actual support that Charlottesvillians give their artists outside of that “arts town” declaration.

Deborah McLeod, who founded the Chroma Projects gallery in 2010, says that compared to other places she’s lived and run arts spaces, people in Charlottesville more readily spend their disposable income on food and drink, not art. She and other curators

People often think they have to know what to wear, what to say, how to look at art before setting foot in a gallery, Brondyke says, when in reality, there’s no right or wrong way to look at art—connecting with the work is always personal, always unique.

Curators curate because they value that connection so much, they have to help others feel it, too. But in order to do so, they have to get people in the museum, in the gallery. Matthew McLendon, who started as director and chief curator of The Fralin Museum of Art at UVA last year, says that an important step in getting more people to engage with art is to show a viewer that he is represented in the artwork on display.

This means mounting exhibitions with more diversity of race, gender, perspective, medium, and culture. Currently on view at The Fralin is an exhibition of Native American art that merges pieces from the museum’s collection with pieces from contemporary Native American artists; exhibitions like this are not common in Charlottesville (or most places in the U.S., for that matter).

McLendon feels personally committed to making The Fralin’s exhibitions and permanent collection more diverse, acknowledging that there are still great strides to be made in this direction. Showing diverse art by diverse artists is “a direct way of showing someone that they are valued,” says McLendon. “When you see yourself represented, you know you’re valued.”

In curating the JSAAHC gallery exhibitions, Douglas focuses on exactly this. By

Some consider wallpaper to be a tacky design choice that went out of style decades ago, but artist and Charlottesville native Avery Lawrence sees it as an art form worth pursuing.

Lawrence’s “‘Moving a Tree’” is partially plastered across the entrance to The Fralin’s “In My Room” exhibition. The original version of this work is a complex performance video, and what is on display at The Fralin constitutes the backdrop of the video, a red-and-cream wallpaper design digitally created by Lawrence. The pattern is alternately restrictive and wild, featuring portraits of the same despondent man and woman alongside imagery of chopped lumber and skulls.

Lawrence acknowledges that there’s a lot to unpack in the design. “‘Moving a Tree’ is an homage to my grandparents’ 60-year marriage,” he says, explaining that the piece aims to explore every aspect, positive and negative, of the decades-long romance. He couldn’t think of a better medium to represent that dichotomy than wallpaper. “It’s beautifully decorative,” Lawrence says of the art form. “But also, it can be oppressive with certain patterns.”

The wallpaper is meant to ask: “What happens at the end of a relationship?”

It’s not the easiest medium to move from gallery to gallery, he admits. “Wallpaper—that’s an issue, right? It’s not something framed on the gallery wall that can be removed, put in storage, shipped and crated to other places.” The solution turned out to be advancements in digital art.

“I just sent a digital file of the wallpaper to the curators at The Fralin,” he says. “They printed it out and installed it, and I didn’t have to do anything.”

Lawrence couldn’t be happier with the final result. “I think they did a lovely job,” he says. “I think it does have that beautiful, oppressive feel I wanted.”

Hanging out with the local art installers

W

hat brings you into one of Charlottesville’s art galleries or museums?

Perhaps it’s a sculptor who incorporates unexpected materials in his art, or a photographer exhibiting images from your hometown. It might even be a well-curated appetizer platter and wine selection while you wait for dinner during First Fridays.

Somewhere between cheese plate and exhibition planning, there are art installers—the people who bring to life the vision of an artist, curator, or director. They spackle, paint, hammer, drill, and climb up and down ladders more than they’d like to count. They ensure even spacing between artworks, and center them around a common sightline—all while factoring in unlevel floors, uneven walls, and ceiling height.

They twist and turn lights to illuminate the best of every artwork’s surface features.

When an exhibition ends, they undo all of the above. And if they are good at their job, you never know they were there at all.

The namedropper Andrew Bain grew up in Batesville and moved to Washington, D.C., to pursue his photography studies. Despite an art installation career that includes seven years at contemporary gallery Hemphill Fine Arts, and four years at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Bain moved back in with his parents in 2014. He cites low wages and high living costs as part of the reason he relocated to Batesville, and says he regrets his decision now and then.

During his first month at the Hirshhorn, Bain loaded dollies stacked with paintings by 20th-century abstractionists Willem de Kooning and Francis Bacon into what he says was his “early freight elevator big money art ride.”

“I was like, ‘Man, these are some important works. I hope the elevator doesn’t get stuck.’ It was millions of dollars of work,” says Bain. In 2012, de Kooning’s “Interchange” and a Jackson Pollock sold for a combined $500 million. One year later, Bacon’s triptych “Three Studies of Lucian Freud” sold for $142.4 million, a world record at the time. Bain eventually realized that he was carting nearly halfa-billion dollars in abstract expressionist works during his first weeks on the job, but, he says, “That’s the boring side of things—thinking that there’s a commodity side to these works. It’s not really that cool.”

Another Hirshhorn show Bain helped install was Ai Weiwei’s “According to What?” 2012 exhibition—the Hirshhorn’s first show featuring the Chinese artist and activist’s work. He remembers installing Weiwei’s unwieldy and labor intensive work as an invigorating experience, “a mostly fun and good circus.”

The lucky ones Nicole Wade and Joe Sheridan call themselves lucky to have held full-time positions in art handling and collections work.

Eleven years ago, they both helped install a politically charged exhibition at The Fralin Museum of Art, then the Bayly. It was photographer William Christenberry’s “Site/Possession” show—a yearlong series of Christenberry’s documentary work grappling with his identity as a white Southern male. It was Wade’s first week as curatorial assistant for The Fralin, and she

“It’s not an experience many visitors or museum staff members get. It’s a luxury, surreal, and powerful in a way that I have not experienced with art anywhere else.”

The piece of art hanging at my workplace is called “Doc & Earl” but I have renamed it “Old Friends.”

The photo shows Bluegrass greats Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson embracing backstage at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. It was taken four months before Earl Scruggs passed away with Doc Watson passing shortly after Earl.

The two pieces of art that I have hanging closest to me at my desk are 1) a beautiful painting of a large red telephone painted by Elizabeth Zhang, a Bridge intern, for use as a prop in our 2017 live Facebook telethon and 2) a “thank-you” painting by Chicho Lorenzo depicting a human/tree type figure. They are both important to me because they are personal, tell a story, and are fun!

Finding connection

Visual integrity, meaning, in the case of a painting for instance, a work needs to occupy the picture plane in a way that you don’t question. I rely on a visceral reaction. Years ago, I had an Irish friend whose habitual greeting was “Hello, have you seen anything strange or startling.” I subsequently realized that “strange,” in the sense most often of unfamiliar, or original and “startling” were exactly the qualities that I look for in contemporary art. I also am drawn to strange in the sense of odd or slightly twisted, and I also appreciate humor in art.

Sarah Sargent, writer/curator Sometimes it’s something strange or suprising that makes art familiar, such as this tondo piece that Megan Marlatt painted for Sarah Sargent upon discovering a shared admiration for the work of Frank Cadogan Cowper. “In this painting, I am holding my father (copied from a baby picture), who had recently died. Across the top is written “Mighty Mighty,” a reference to The Commodore’s “Brick House,” says Sargent.

Though Sheridan now focuses on Montfair and his art-making, he occasionally installs for Second Street Gallery with Bain, and sometimes at Les Yeux du Monde. Joining Sheridan in contract installation jobs throughout town are Ed Montecalvo, Caleb Hendrickson, and Nick Watson [the writer’s husband]. All three have other full-time positions and are actively exhibiting or lapsed artists, as Hendrickson says.

Montecalvo is a photographer and a sales representative for tennis court surface manufacturer Har-Tru. He calls his 21 years of art installation one of his labors of love. He misses the LOOK3 Festival, where he served as a volunteer at the first installation in 2007 and nine festivals after that before LOOK3 ceased operations last January.

“When people go to a show and they see something hanging, a lot of people, unless they’re artists, don’t have an understanding of what has happened before,” says Montecalvo. “Hanging is one small part of it. You have to be careful and exact. It’s different than going to an art opening because you’re working with each piece and no one else is around, so you get a chance to really look at it.”

When Hendrickson isn’t writing his dissertation on the theory of vision, visual idioms, languages, and motifs in 20th-century Jewish and Christian religious discourse, he draws and collages. After he receives his Ph. D., Hendrickson hopes to keep working with art galleries, though he isn’t sure in what capacity.

“The nonprofit art world is a pretty shit backup plan,” he says. “Unless you’re fulltime lead preparator at a large museum, it’s hard to make it your main thing. That would be an awesome job if you get it.”

Watson agrees. “There’s not a huge demand for it. Places that have art shows all the time might have somebody on staff do it, but that’s not their dedicated job,” he says. Watson’s dedicated job is lead knife maker at Monolith Knives in Ivy — often incorporating his metalworking skills to create the abstract sculpture he exhibits in Charlottesville and Maryland.

“There are fewer freelance people that make a living off it,” he says.

In his third year at UVA, Watson completed his first art installation in a private home. He found the opportunity in an email from UVA’s art department. It was conceptual artist Sol LeWitt’s “Five Pointed Stars,” a 36-piece series of 8.5-inch printed panels with every two-color combination of white, gray, black, red, yellow, and blue. To install the piece, Watson precisely followed LeWitt’s accompanying instructions. LeWitt often included exacting, self-written installation guidelines with his pieces, and some of his art is actually created by the installer through a set of instructions that can be replicated in any location.

“Maybe you do it and maybe you don’t.

That’s the art. He gives you the parameters, but you might not do it,” Watson says. “Is it the installer’s art, or it is Sol LeWitt’s? He didn’t do it. He just told you how to do it.

Are you an installer, or are you an artist?”

and can cut a straight line with a utility knife. “Whenever there is an art emergency, I’m there,” he says.

Sheridan left The Fralin to pursue his MFA and work for John W. Kluge as art curator, handler, and archivist. In his 14 years with Kluge, he cared for the billionaire’s 7,379-acre property (including Morven Farm), oversaw Kluge’s personal papers, Japanese gardens, and collection of art around the country ranging from ancient Greek bronzes to modern advertising posters.

He played an influential role in creating Kluge’s Carriage House Museum, which displayed art objects like the largest sculpted piece of glass in the world and 73 horsedrawn carriages. The carriage collection included one designed by automotive engineer Ettore Bugatti, carriages from the royal Belgium family, and leather, silver, and ivory harnesses designed by Thierry Hermès before he founded a fashion house. After Kluge died and Patricia Kluge sold the estate, the Carriage House building became part of Trump Winery.

“A business is only as viable as the community it does business in,” Sheridan says, paraphrasing Kluge’s

Look up from your desk

Art and Industry speech at Millikin University in 1960. “The business owner has responsibility for caring for the community.

One way of doing that is through supporting the arts.”

JAY BLAKESBERG

says she was struck by the “staggering, foreboding, and beautiful” exhibition.

Five years and 113 exhibitions later in 2012, Wade joined the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection as collections manager and registrar.

Working with four full-time co-workers in a Colonial Revival home, Wade does everything from ensuring objects clear customs to installing light bulbs. With much of the Kluge-Ruhe’s collection painted on bark or a wood substrate, Wade monitors every work’s condition and reaction to humidity and temperature. If an object expands or contracts too quickly, paint on top “can shift like tectonic plates in an earthquake. It’s not something most people think about at an art exhibition,” says Wade.

Wade also has occasion to see Indigenous Australians reconnect with their cultural items.“It’s not an experience many visitors or museum staff members get. It’s a luxury, surreal, and powerful in a way that I have not experienced with art anywhere else.”

Like Wade, Sheridan’s career began at The Fralin. He was working as a security guard, and one day while holding the door for air conditioning repairmen in 1984, he became the museum’s first preparator.

“The curatorial team said, ‘Oh my gosh we need artwork framed.’ I said, ‘I can do that.’ Then they said, ‘We need pedestals built,’ and I said, ‘I can do that,’” says Sheridan. Working with his hands was secondnature to Sheridan, who says he has a good eye, an intuitive sense of how to display art,

A peek inside the Kluge-Ruhe

“S

o many people come to the Kluge-Ruhe expecting to see ancient things,” says curator Henry Skerritt. And perhaps some of the works look ancient to Western eyes—particularly the bark paintings—but Aboriginal Australian art is contemporary art, made by artists living in cities, towns, and remote communities half a world away from Charlottesville.

It’s art of our time that also looks back to a 50,000-year-old tradition.

Skerritt and Margo Smith, the museum’s director who also served as its curator until Skerritt arrived two years ago, aim to show the U.S. how this work is not just aesthetically pleasing, but highly informed and often very political, engaging topics of race, colonization, globalization, and identity, among others. They’ve shared some pieces from the collection here—some that are on view and some that are currently in storage—to get you thinking about and seeing art in new ways.—Erin O’Hare

COURTESY WARLUKURLANGU ARTISTS, YUENDUMU

A painting I own by Robert Stuart. It’s one of his light through barn slats works. It was made with silver paint and has these brilliant Yves Klein blue stripes running across it that seem to throb with light. I love his work.

Sarah Sargent

Art gazing

“Karrku Jukurrpa” 1996 At over 9 feet tall and 22 feet wide, “Karrku” is the largest work in the collection, too big to display on one wall of the museum. But it’s not just physically large—36 different artists collaborated on the piece, and there’s a story to how it came to be big in so many ways. After John W. Kluge commissioned a massive painting from Warlukurlangu Artists of Yuendumu, Margo Smith visited Yuendumu to meet the artists, who traveled from the bush to the site of Karrku, a hill that contains a red ochre mine that produces a pigment renowned for its luster. The artists explored Karrku, sang songs, and performed ceremonies before returning home to create the canvas that Skerritt says is often reproduced for books, making it one of the Kluge-Ruhe’s most widely-viewed works, despite the fact that it’s rarely on display.

Really look, be active in your visual consumption—imagine the work being made and ask yourself questions: Why did they chose that blue? What was going on in the world when this was made? How does it make you feel?

Emma Terry, UVA, staff assistant to the vice provost for the arts There’s nothing you should or shouldn’t see. Trust your intuition. If the painting sucks, it sucks. If you vibe with it, that’s a thread of connection you feel with the artist.

Subjective interaction is what art is all about.

COURTESY JANET FIELDHOUSE

COURTESY BUKU-LARRNGGAY MULKA ART CENTRE, YIRRKALA

Stories. There is a story to everything. They are not supplementary, they go hand in hand. If ever there is a piece that captures your soul, make the effort to find and understand the story behind it.

John W. Kluge built much of his collection by commissioning artists, and in that spirit, the Kluge-Ruhe has collaborated with the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka art center at Yirrkala in Northern Australia to commission new works by 25 artists, works that Skerritt hopes will become part of the museum’s permanent collection. “Marrangu” is one of those pieces.

Skerritt calls it “a masterpiece” for, among other things, its optical effects and how it “draws upon ancient clan designs...in a highly conceptual and innovative way. It shows how much artists continue to push the boundaries of what Aboriginal art can be while staying strong to their roots.”

Janet Fieldhouse, “Memory Series 2” 2014 Every museum and gallery collection has a number of fragile works, but the Kluge-Ruhe has an unusually large volume of them—paintings made from earth pigments on bark, pieces made from and with feathers and fur, materials that can change, break, and deteriorate if not properly cared for. Fieldhouse weaves extremely fine porcelain in the style of traditional Torres-Strait Islander arm bands worn by dancers whose movements activate the bands. Fieldhouse uses the heat of the ceramics kiln to do the work of the dancer, so the paper-thin porcelain sculptures “slump and move during the firing process,” says Skerritt. “The result is this wonderfully evocative piece that plays of the fragility of memory.”

Post-post impressionist painter Lauchlan Davis intends “to unravel the postmodern contemporary moment” with oil paint and a palette knife. Her “Garden 1” caught the eye of Millie Joe Coffe Roaster’s curator Jordan Chambers, who calls her work “absolutely stunning.”

Unsurprisingly, Love in the Wind is a sonic delight.

Juliana Daugherty finds release with Light

By Erin O’Hare arts@c-ville.com

B

etween sips of seltzer and small handfuls of Chex Mix, Juliana Daugherty lovingly runs her hand along her cat Monday’s back. “I’m still kind of shocked that I managed to get it out in the world,” she says, eyeing a thick cardboard box at the bottom of a bookshelf. It’s full of vinyl copies of her debut record, Light, and she’s kind of shocked, because a few years ago, she hadn’t thought to make an album.

But when Daugherty decides she’s going to do something, she does it, to prove to herself, and “maybe to other people,” that she can.

The daughter of a viola player and a trumpet player, Daugherty, 30, began harp lessons at age 4, practicing on her own terms, and refusing her teacher’s preferred methods.

She bounced from harp to piano to classical guitar before trying flute and deciding to get serious about woodwinds.

In college, she took an introduction to poetry class and decided that if it went well, she’d get a minor in poetry—not only did she get the minor, she earned an MFA in poetry from UVA. After years of playing flute in local indie-folk bands Nettles and The Hill and Wood, Daugherty realized she was the only bandmate without a side project, and figured that as a poet and a musician, she had the skills to be a songwriter. Daugherty decided

Artist and photographer Tracy Maurice designed the cover and liner notes art for Light, and indie-rock fans have likely seen her work for Arcade Fire’s Funeral and Neon Bible, among others.

Daugherty intentionally titled her record after the seventh track, which contains the line, “Almost every life/ grows fiercely towards the light,/ and if there is a light, you will.”

The album arts sequence of spheres, some dark and opaque, some light and transparent, others evoking both weighty stones and gaseous planets, is a helpful conceptualization of contrasts present in the music.

Of course love is “well-trod territory” for a songwriter, says Daugherty, and it irks her that many consider it a trite song topic. “For me, so much of my life is consumed by feelings about other people and interactions with other people, not just in romantic relationships but in all of my relationships, with friends and my family, and with strangers that I pass and imagine things about.”

On “Revelation,” Daugherty sings about her parents, imagining what it’s like to love someone over so much time, to know them so well and yet not really at all: “Someday I know the bonds that keep us will be broken. / We may outrun our bodies any moment. / And the mouth of revelation will not open; / I don’t know you—there’s no time.”

“Sweetheart,” is about a relationship that wasn’t much fun for her, that in hindsight is more toxic than it seemed, and what it’s like to belong to oneself once again, or for the first time. “California,” Daugherty’s favorite on the album, is about having to find a different way to go about your love for a person after your romantic relationship has ended.

Love is such a small word for all of the many, big things it means, and Daugherty will keep walking down that well-trod path because it is a worthy path to tread. Love is “something that’s endlessly interesting and mysterious, and it’s endlessly relevant,” she says. It is what defines us, what drives us and holds us back; it is the most important thing in the world, says Daugherty. Love is the light that we all move toward.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK

to become a songwriter, working late into the night on melodies and chords, then fitting lyrics on top of them.

Perhaps even more surprising to Daugherty (but not to any listener of her music) is that Light, which was produced by local musician Colin Killalea and released in June by Western Vinyl, isn’t just out in the world—it’s been featured on popular music websites such as NPR Music’s “All Songs Considered” and Stereogum, and critics have received it warmly.

Stereogum’s Chris DeVille says, “there is no shortage of artists making music of this ilk today, but few are doing it so captivatingly.”

Lars Gotrich of NPR writes, “I just want to curl up in a circle of pillows and stare upwards at eggshell paint that could so easily be cracked by the quiet and contemplative poetry Daugherty sings with gentle, but aching lilt.”

Creative endeavors are how Daugherty makes sense of her world, her life, and she doesn’t actively choose what she writes about. “Whatever has been in my brain is what’s going to come out, and whatever I’m trying to understand is what’s going to manifest itself,” she says.

In her artist bio, Daugherty writes, “I wrote this album partly to strip mental illness of its power,” and that is the part that many critics have focused on, noting how refreshing it is to hear someone speak about depression, sadness, and melancholia so openly, so beautifully.

Light is that, but it is mostly a record about love.

econd Street Gallery begins its 45th year with “Teeny Tiny Trifecta,” a group exhibition in the Dové Gallery featuring 72 artists working in a wide range of styles, techniques, and media. Curated by Kristen Chiacchia, the gallery’s executive director and chief curator, the artwork was solicited through an open call, which garnered submissions from more than 100 artists.

“I didn’t really have a number of how many artists to show in mind ahead of time,” says Chiacchia. “There were so many fantastic submissions that I didn’t want to say no to any of these artists.”

The common denominator that links the work is its size; everything measures 10 inches or less. When coming up with this requirement, Chiacchia had several things in mind. Presenting a show of small work means one can show more, and it also allows for the price point to be kept low—a major consideration in introducing people to the idea of collecting art. So, everything in “Teeny Tiny Trifecta” is priced at an affordable $100. Small is in vogue these days, and with more people living in compact spaces, diminutive works have great appeal.

Small work also lends itself well to salon-style hanging, an approach that features large groups of work hung together on a wall. Though rarely used in gallery settings as it can overwhelm the individual work, it functions well with little pieces—gathering them together imparts a visual weight that the work doesn’t have by itself.

With salon style, one also appreciates the overall crazy-quilt effect—a pleasing visual sum made up of many parts. “I’ve always been really drawn to salon-style installation and the whole idea of a cabinet of curiosity,” says Chiacchia. “I have a lot of art [primarily Pop Surrealism] and I have a whole wall at home that is completely filled with it.”

“I was looking for a way to involve local and regional artists in the exhibition,” says Chiacchia. With 50 locals in the show—some familiar, some new to the scene—she succeeded. The balance is made up with artists from Richmond and as far away as New York City.

Each artist was asked to contribute three pieces. In some cases, the three are all very similar and could almost be considered a series.

The show also represents an important resource for Chiacchia. “I am still fairly new to town and I don’t get out in the world as much as I would like,” she says. “It was great meeting everyone when they came to drop their work off. It was also nice because I’ve discovered artists I may be interested in working with in the future.”

Lou Haney’s “Funion” adds whimsy to the large collection of small works in Second Street Gallery’s “Teeny Tiny Trifecta,” on view through September 28.

The work ranges from edgy contemporary to more traditional still lifes and landscape, and so there’s something in the show to appeal to every taste. Allyson Mellberg Taylor’s nifty little portraits in vintage frames have a spare intensity that is arresting. The flatness and primitive quality of the drawing recalls early 19th-century watercolors of children—the restrained colors and patterns, Japanese woodblocks. But the disgruntled back-to-back twins and the scowling girl whose spots on her face mirror the egg between her hands add a strange discord that piques one’s curiosity.

With the focus on food and flowers, Lou Haney’s bold little statements include a sunny collage of daisies and two smaller tondo paintings of a flower and half a red onion.

The latter, with its outside edge following the uneven circle of a cut onion, is particularly effective, a witty, trompe l’oeil work that grabs attention.

Courtney Coker’s photographs are atmospheric and evocative. It’s not entirely clear, but they seem connected in some way, like clues to a hidden story. The woman floating in the lake and the child in the forest are linked as figures in landscape, and the child in the forest is clearly the little girl of the portrait identifiable by her dress, hair, and age. They’re winsome, contemplative images that form such a potent

trinity; one hopes they will be purchased as a set.

Based on Caravaggio, Michelle Gagliano’s figure studies possess a presence that belies their size. Her forceful, confident line and the use of black oil paint on canvas to render these sketches endows the two lower ones with a subtle power.

Resembling strange fungi, spores, or microscopic specimens, Jennifer Cox’s mixed media on panel works have a lushness of color and form. Her compositions occupy the space with intention and restraint.

Aaron Miller’s striking graphic sequences take inspiration from traditional comic strips.

But the narratives of non sequiturs and enigmatic references push these works to a completely different place. Each piece is divided into a quartet of related images. Their blackand-white palette and classic, austere draughtsmanship offer a refreshing, ordered simplicity, and demonstrate the continued aesthetic power of the genre.

There are many practical considerations for mounting a show of small works, but let’s face it, there’s something just plain appealing about them. They often contain the visual interest and heft of much larger pieces, but it is presented in concentrated form within the confines of limited space. “Teeny Tiny Trifecta” illustrates this well with work that surprises, beguiles, and enchants.

Presenting a show of small work means one can show more, and it also allows for the price point to be kept low—a major consideration in introducing people to the idea of collecting art.

efore we get to just how bad The Nun is, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate the fact that it’s taken the so-called Conjuring Universe this long to deliver a full-on dud. The tone was effectively set by director James Wan in The Conjuring back in 2013, and even when its successors haven’t matched its quality, the series has proven to be the perfect sandbox for some terrific stylists to unleash their raw creativity with full studio support. It’s also an unlikely rehabilitation for real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, the deeply religious couple who have witnessed several proven hoaxes but have been effective and charming as the series’ moral center.

And then comes The Nun. If Annabelle and its sequel, Annabelle: Creation, stretched the Warren’s lore to its breaking point, at least it was worth the detour. The Nun,

meanwhile, is so fundamentally broken at its core that there’s nothing to stretch into a fun or entertaining story. Every time it builds up the potential for something interesting, it falls back on the same tired tricks, like a teenage guitarist who’s just learned how to two-hand tap. Demons are apparently content to reach out from nothing to grab someone with no apparent plan, and pity the next director who gets saddled with having to find new ways of stretching the design of the nun herself, looking about as scary as Marilyn Manson’s Christmas card.

The story brings us to rural Romania, where a young nun’s mysterious suicide attracts the attention of the Vatican. They recruit Father Burke (Demián Bichir) to investigate, with the help of novitiate Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and local laborer of French Canadian extraction, “Frenchie” (Jonas Bloquet). It seems the nun’s death was related to some deeper evil within the convent, which is located inside a medieval

castle with possible sinister origins. Yadda yadda yadda, shit gets crazy, demons get demonic, audience members endure the longest 96 minutes of their lives.

A lot of nonsense can be forgiven of genre movies if they deliver on the basics, but there are no legitimate scares anywhere in The Nun. The Annabelle story was downright idiotic, but the movie had some of the best representations of demons in recent memory. The demons in The Nun have zero

reason to be doing any of the things they do.

What do they want from the humans they’re terrorizing? Hands reaching out of the darkness is a bit creepy, but if it keeps happening with no stakes, it becomes boring, which is something demons should never be.

You may flinch at some jump scares in The Nun, but only because your survival instincts tell you to recoil when something is sudden and loud, not because the movie earns your fear. If you laugh when someone tickles you, that doesn’t make them funny; similarly, if you jump at a jump scare, that doesn’t make the movie scary. Skip this one.

Sharing center stage with Prime 109’s locally grown and produced food will be the interior Beaux-Arts décor of its 100-year-old neoclassical building, an architectural gem from a bygone era.

Prime 109 takes its name from steakhouse slang for prime rib.

When a steakhouse orders “prime 109” from a butcher, the butcher knows to send over roast-ready prime rib of beef. Ian Redshaw, executive chef at Prime 109, is especially excited for the restaurant’s namesake item, a Virginiaraised, 109-day dry-aged 109 steak.

wood-fired grill created by Corry Blanc of Blanc Creatives. Directly across from this is the bar, which will be headed up by Abraham Hawkins, formerly of the C&O. The polished Carrara white tile flooring leads to a marble staircase that ascends to the mezzanine-level private dining space, which seats 40, overlooks the restaurant below, and lends an up-close look at the space’s gorgeous architectural flourishes.

Redshaw is thrilled to see the Prime 109 team’s dream of a truly local restaurant come to fruition.

“It’s been a huge undertaking with local artisans to bring everything in—from beef producers to blacksmiths to all of our plates are handmade in North Carolina. This collaboration with all local and regional artisans lets us show off what Virginia and the region has to offer.”

He says they have a dry-aging facility at Seven Hills Food Co. in Lynchburg, a wholesaler of premium pastured Virginia family-farm-raised beef, whose mission is to connect local meat producers with local meat consumers.

“We have a lot of stuff going on in-house, but they do the majority of the processing there [at Seven Hills]—we’re bringing the beef in to them, and we teamed up with them as the livestock producer to help us out in this way.”

rime 109, the much-anticipated local-farm-centered steakhouse located in the former Bank of America building on the Downtown Mall, opens this month after nearly two years of planning and design.

The restaurant is the brainchild of the Lampo Neapolitan Pizzeria team of Ian Redshaw, Loren Mendosa, Andrew Cole, Shelly Robb, and Mitchell Beerens, and it will showcase the cooking of Bill Scatena, formerly of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards, as chef de cuisine.

Redshaw, Prime 109’s executive chef, says the intent behind the restaurant is to feature the bounty of central Virginia’s food while operating in the most sustainable way possible.

“Creating a sustainable cooking community is really hard in Charlottesville because a lot of people outsource everything,” says Redshaw. “We’re trying to keep everything local as much as possible, from our beef all the way down the line, so it’s really to walk the walk of a local restaurant. With Virginia being such a great place to [raise] livestock, it fits hand in hand. Through the community we can vertically integrate everything we have. It creates a language everyone understands—we can tell a farmer ‘I need to talk to you about a cow we need 24 months from now’—and they like that!”

Redshaw adds that we here in Charlottesville are fortunate to have such amazing food grown and sold right in our proverbial (and sometimes literal) backyards.

“We’re trying to feature the bounty of the Shenandoah Valley. It’s such a big bread basket that people forget about it—but it’s some of the best vegetables and livestock around.”

Redshaw reassures Lampo fans currently fretting about the team redirecting its focus to this much larger venture: “Because of our management structure, it’ll just run as Lampo has run; you’ll see the familiar faces, Mitch and Loren will be there. A lot of the partners are pulling double duty to make sure it’s the same experience for our customers.” Cole will be Prime 109’s wine director and Beerens its pastry chef.

Prime 109’s options run the gamut from, well, steak, naturally, to a meatless Bolognese that Redshaw says is particularly delicious.

And, of course, there’s the steak so exciting, they named the entire restaurant after it, the prime 109, which Redshaw says is local pastured beef meticulously dry-aged and cooked to the customer’s liking.

aTaza owner Melissa Easter has recently struggled with a big decision: Should she close her restaurant of the past 13 years or expand? Ultimately she decided it was time for a lifestyle change, and she and her ex-husband, Jeff, sold the restaurant and building to new owners.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while,” says Easter. “My daughter is having a baby in September and I was just ready.”

“The new owner is pretty cool” and seems to be embracing the area, says Easter, adding that the restaurant will likely become a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot. “I’m still a Belmont neighbor, and the first thing I asked is ‘will there be coffee?’ I don’t think it’s going to change a lot but I think they want to do their own thing. They like that it’s a community seat, and I believe they’ll make it better,” says Easter. She adds that the new restaurant will likely take over the Cabinet Solutions space, next door to LaTaza, as well, ultimately expanding the venue.

Gilie Garth, a server for the past two years, says she’ll forever be grateful for how LaTaza and Easter helped her get back on her feet when she was struggling.

“I was pretty devastated to hear it was closing because this place has a great deal of meaning to me. I’m a drug addict in recovery from addiction. I got clean a little over three years ago, and Melissa Easter, my employer and beloved friend, gave me the opportunity to work again as a server at the age of 47. It has enabled me to become financially independent and has been a huge boost to my self-esteem,” says Garth.

“The people here, both employees and customers, are family to me. It’s going to be a great loss for the community and a huge personal loss to me.”

Garth plans to return to her nursing career by the end of the year, but employ-

ment at LaTaza was a great stepping stone for her to get her life back together.

LaTaza’s last day will be September 16, and Easter says the new owners plan to re-open October 1.

inding a new dog isn’t trivial, and I’m often faced with questions about the process. There are so many variables to consider. Should you adopt a puppy or rescue an adult? What size dog best fits your lifestyle? Some questions have easier answers than others, and many require a degree of generalization that makes me uncomfortable. I can never say for sure that a certain breed will be good with children or that your choice will be easier to house train. But there is one thing I do know for sure: You can give up on your search for a hypoallergenic breed.

Allergies to pets are a very real thing. For many, the symptoms are some mild sniffling and sneezing. But more severe reactions are possible, ranging from rashes to asthma attacks. It is understandable that people afflicted with such allergies might want assurance that their new best friend isn’t going to be a medical liability. And that’s why it is vitally important to make this clear: As pervasive as the idea has become, there is absolutely no evidence that some breeds are hypoallergenic.

Allergies happen when the immune system overreacts to something that wouldn’t otherwise be a threat. In this case, proteins in a dog’s skin or saliva are the trigger. While direct contact with

dogs can produce symptoms, it isn’t necessary. Microscopic flakes of skin are constantly being shed from any animal. These particles, collectively called dander, will spread well beyond the dog’s reach. Some will remain suspended in the air, waiting to be inhaled.

Others settle on clothing or furniture, ready to trigger skin allergies on contact.

While many breeds of dog are advertised as hypoallergenic, the most common ones seem to be those perceived as shedding less.

The idea is that if they aren’t filling your home with fur, then they must not be fill-

Research has shown absolutely no difference in the presence of allergens in homes with supposedly hypoallergenic dogs compared to homes with “regular” ones. ing it with dander either. It’s a completely reasonable supposition. Unfortunately, it also turns out to be a false one. Research has shown absolutely no difference in the presence of allergens in homes with supposedly hypoallergenic dogs compared to homes with “regular” ones.

Wittingly or not, breeders have seized on the popularity of hypoallergenic breeds.

These dogs are often sold at premium prices to families willing to spend thousands of dollars for a perceived medical necessity. These families deserve to know that they are buying into a fiction.

If someone in your family does suffer from pet allergies, it is important to speak to your physician or allergist before adding a dog or cat to your home.

Perhaps the allergy is mild enough to be managed with air filters, designated petfree rooms, or medication. But the decision and its consequences are too important to revolve around a myth.

By Rob Brezsny

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle writes candidly about her relationship with herself. She keeps us up to date with the ever-shifting self-images that float through her awareness. Here’s one of her bulletins: “Stage 1. me: I’m the cutest thing in the world. Stage 2. me, two seconds later: no, I’m a freaking goblin. Stage 3. me, two seconds after that: I’m the cutest goblin in the world.” I’m guessing that many of you Libras have reached the end of your own personal version of Stage 2. You’ve either already slipped into Stage 3, or soon will. No later than October 1, you’ll be preparing to glide back into Stage 1 again.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “There’s no such thing as love,” said Scorpio painter Pablo Picasso, “there are only proofs of love.” I’m tempted to believe that’s true, especially as I contemplate the current chapter of your life story.

The evidence seems clear: You will thrive by engaging in practical demonstrations of how much you care. You’ll be wise to tangibly help and support and encourage and inspire everyone and everything you love. To do so will make you eligible for blessings that are, as of this moment, still hidden or unavailable.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to a Pew Research Study, nearly 75 percent of Americans say they talk to God, but only 30 percent get a reply. I’m guessing the latter figure will rise dramatically for Sagittarian Americans in the next three weeks, however. Why? Because the astrological indicators suggest that authorities of all kinds will be more responsive than usual to Sagittarians of all nationalities.

Help from higher powers is likely to be both more palpable and more forthcoming. Any communications you initiate with honchos, directors, and leaders have a better-than-normal chance of being well-received.

Capricorn

63

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your keynote is the Japanese word shizuka. According to photographer Masao Yamamoto, it means “cleansed, pure, clear, and untainted.” One of his artistic practices is to wander around forests looking in the soil for “treasures” that emanate shizuka. So in his definition, the term isn’t about being scrubbed or sanitized. Rather, he’s interested in pristine natural phenomena that are unspoiled by civilization.

He regards them as food for his soul. I mention this, Virgo, because now is an excellent time for you to get big doses of people and places and things that are cleansed, pure, clear, and untainted. orous and appealing as it might seem to certain people, many of us can do fine without it. According to my analysis, that will be true for you in the coming weeks. If you have a diary, you might justifiably write, “Hallelujah! I am not a battlefield of emotions right now!”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anthropologist Margaret Mead had definite ideas about “the ways to get insight.” She named them as follows: “to study infants; to study animals; to study indigenous people; to be psychoanalyzed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it.” I have my own list of ways to spur insight and inspiration, which includes: to do walking meditations in the woods on a regular basis, no matter what the weather; to engage in long, slow sex with a person you love; to spend a few hours reviewing in detail your entire life history; to dance to music you adore for as long as you can before you collapse from delighted exhaustion. What about you, Aquarius? What are your reliable ways to get insight? I suggest you engage in some of them, and also discover a new one. You’re in the Flood of Radical Fresh Insights Phase of your astrological cycle.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Stanley Kubrick made masterful films, but most of them bore me.

I regard John Ashbery as a clever and innovative poet, but I’ve never been excited by his work. As for painter Mark Rothko, I recognize his talent and intelligence, but his art leaves me empty. The music of Norah Jones is pretty and technically impeccable, but it doesn’t move me. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to make the kinds of fine distinctions I’m describing here. It will be important for you to be faithful to your sub-

Big adventures for little people!

jective responses to things, even as you maintain an objective perspective about them and treat them with respect.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Author Anne Carson describes part of her creative process in this way: “Sometimes I dream a sentence and write it down. It’s usually nonsense, but sometimes it seems a key to another world.”

I suspect you might be able to benefit from using a comparable trick in the coming days.

That’s why you should monitor any odd dreams, seemingly irrational impulses, or weird fantasies that arise in you. Although they may not be of any practical value in themselves, they could spur a train of thought that leads you to interesting breakthroughs.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The idea of liberation through the suppression of desire is the greatest foolishness ever conceived by the human mind,” wrote philosopher E. M. Cioran. I agree that trying to deny or stifle or ignore our desires can’t emancipate us. In fact, I’m inclined to believe that freedom is only possible if we celebrate and honor our desires, marvel at their enigmas, and respect their power. Only then can we hope to refine them. Only then can we craft them into beautiful, useful forces that serve us rather than confuse and undermine us. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to engage in this spiritual practice, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck,” says the Dalai Lama.

Ain’t that the truth! When I was 22 years old, there were two different women I desperately yearned for as if they were the Muse Queens of Heaven who would transform

Our only

me into a great artist and quench my infinite passion. Fortunately, they both rejected me.

They decisively set me free of my bondage to them. Later, when I was older and wiser, I realized that blending my fortunes with either of them would have led me away from my true destiny. I got lucky! In a similar but less melodramatic way, Gemini, I suspect you will also get lucky sometime soon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Don’ts for Boys or Errors of Conduct Corrected was an advice book for boys published in 1902. Among many other strictures and warnings, it offered this advice: “Don’t giggle. For the love of decency, never giggle.” There was additional counsel in the same vein: “Don’t be noisy. The guffaw evinces less enjoyment than the quiet smile.”

Another exhortation: “Don’t tease. Be witty, but impersonal.” In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby proclaim that all those instructions are utterly wrong for you right now. To sweetly align yourself with cosmic rhythms, you should giggle and guffaw and tease freely. If you’re witty—and I hope you will be—it’ll serve you well to be affectionate and personable.

Leo (July 23-August 22): “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful,” writes designer John Maeda. “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak up,” says artist Hans Hofmann. “Simplicity strips away the superfluous to reveal the essence,” declares a blogger named Cheo. I hope these quotes provide you with helpful pointers, Leo. You now have the opportunity to cultivate a masterful version of simplicity.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One day in October 1926, author Virginia Woolf inscribed in her diary, “I am the usual battlefield of emotions.”

It was a complaint, but also a brag. In fact, she drew on this constant turmoil to fuel her substantial output of creative writing.

But the fact is that not all of us thrive on such ongoing uproar. As perversely glam-

Q&A Is this art?

Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square”

Art is in the eye of the creator and the beholder, so yes and no.

No. But maybe in someone else’s mind.

It can be, in the right context. Context is everything. In this context, though, it’s just lazy provocation by a free weekly lacking editorial direction, so no.

BRENDA NECKERMAN/FACEBOOK

@CANTINFLANEUR/TWITTER

TERRI ANNE DI CINTIO/FACEBOOK

I’m drawing a blank.

JOHNNY FRANKENBERGER/FACEBOOK

I think it could be because art is subjective, and if someone looks at that black square and it makes them feel a certain way, then it’s art.

LEAH WAGNER

Yes, and Ad Reinhardt covered this ground in the 1950s.

Yes, on the inside of your closed eyes.

BILL CHAPMAN/FACEBOOK

LESLIE DURR/FACEBOOK

Somebody painted it and put it up, so yes; better question is if it’s compelling art. @BIGBOT95/TWITTER

If it is, it’s not original.

NANCY JONES/FACEBOOK

Why wouldn’t it be? @DOGFUQ/TWITTER

Who cares?

LOUISE HEA SMITH/FACEBOOK

Art is in the eyes of the beholder! @CHRISFLORENCE78/TWITTER

No. Without any expressive context or any intentionality, it’s just an image of something.

I love this. There is something compelling about it. That makes it art, right?

CASS CANNON/FACEBOOK

LYNDELE VON SCHILL/FACEBOOK

Strange, I see this painting when I close my eyes!

PATTY HORTON/FACEBOOK

No, because without context, that’s just a black square. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I believe art should be justified.
