On the Edge of the Weekend

People MoBOT will shine spotlight on western states By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
F
ind out how plants living in hot and dry desert regions adapt and thrive in their extreme environment at the Missouri Botanical Garden’s new “Desert Show: Plants and People of the Western U.S. Deserts,” which runs from June 29 through Aug. 4. Arid and semi-arid regions cover one third of the earth’s surface, and yet these dry and seemingly barren lands contain some of the most diverse plant populations in the world. The plants that grow in this region not only survive in their harsh environment, they thrive. These hardy plants exist at the extreme limits of the kind of environmental conditions that they can tolerate. Even the slightest change to their environment can result in plants dying. As a result, this is one of the most at-risk ecosystems in the world. Visitors will learn about the impact desert plants have on our lives, particularly in North America. A variety of cacti will be on display including Yucca, Agave, Opuntia and Mammallaria. The show will also feature specimens of the garden’s private collection that are not usually on public display. Besides being fascinating for their ability to adapt, many of these plants were vital to the Native American populations living in this region. They used desert plants to make textiles and food. The William L. Brown Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden will show how plants provide humans with basic resources such as food, medicine, fiber and other useful products, historically and today. The show

Numerous desert plants will be on sale at the Desert Show, June 29 and 30, at MoBOT. will feature two hogan replicas placed amidst the collection of cacti and cultural artifacts to lend a sense of the U.S. Western Deserts. Visitors will also see collections
of traditional and colorful Kachina dolls, which date back hundreds of years. They were originally used in ceremonies to capture the essence of desired earthly traits.
After the show, visitors should be sure to stop by the Henry Shaw Cactus Society succulent plant sale. This is the Midwest’s largest succulent event and takes place
May 23, 2013
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 29 and 30. Cacti and succulents of all shapes and sizes will be available for viewing and purchase.

Show admission is $5 in addition to garden admission and is free for garden members. Admission to the Missouri Botanical Garden is $8; St. Louis City and County residents get discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon. Children ages 12 and under and Garden members are free.

People People planner Donna Douglas who played Elly Mae Clampett on “The Beverly Hillbillies�, one of the most popular television series of the 1960s, is the featured celebrity at this year ’s Greenville Graffiti Car Show. Miss Douglas will sign autographs and participate in a special question and answer session with fans. She will also serve as a celebrity judge for the car show. The Greenville Graffiti Car Show is Saturday, June 15 and will feature a variety of contests, food, and fun. The show is open to 1985 and older cars and trucks. Plaques will be awarded to the Top 50. Donna Douglas portrayed Elly Mae Clampett on “The Beverly Hillbillies� from 1962 to 1971. She also co-starred with Elvis Presley in the 1966 film “Frankie and Johnny.� Douglas played a pivotal role in the classic “Twilight Zone� episode Eye of the Beholder. Her other credits include guest appearances on the television series “Route 66�; “77 Sunset Strip�; “Love American Style�; and “Adam 12�. Ronnie Rice, lead singer of the group New Colony Six, is the featured musical entertainment at the Greenville Graffiti Car Show. New Colony Six was founded in Chicago and went on to success when they signed with Mercury Records. The group notched two Top 40 Billboard hits with “I Will Always Think About You� and “Things I’d Like To Say.� The band was known for wearing colonial-style outfits on stage, similar to Paul Revere and the Raiders. Although New Colony Six was known for its ballads, Rice’s concert will be a musical journey through rock and roll’s greatest hits. Rice’s performance is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Greenville, IL Chamber of Commerce at (618) 664-9272.
Caribbean Cove open for the season
bonnethead and white-spotted bamboo sharks glide through a 17,000-gallon warm saltwater pool located under a large tropicalt h e m e d p a v i l i o n . G u e s t s a re encouraged to dip their hands into the water and allow the animals to touch them. Occasionally, there will be an opportunity to feed the stingrays. These are hardy species that interact well with people in a safe and fun manner. “We’re pleased to bring sharks and stingrays back to our visitors this year,� said Dr. Jeffrey P. Bonner, Dana Brown president & CEO of the Saint Louis Zoo. “Connecting people with wildlife is an important part of our mission. Not everyone in our part of the world has had the chance to get in touch with ocean life in such a close-up, intimate way.� The bonnethead shark is the smallest member of the hammerhead family. They have semi-circular heads resembling a shovel or bonnet. White-spotted bamboo sharks are known as “cat sharks� because the barbels, or sensory organs, near their mouths resemble cat whiskers. The sharks at Stingrays at Caribbean Cove are small, shy and docile fish and pose no danger to
humans. They range from two-anda-half to four feet in length and are bottom-dwelling species that prey on small fish, crabs and invertebrates. Visitors will not be feeding the sharks, but occasionally they may have an opportunity to be touched briefly by a shark as it swims by. Cownose rays and southern stingrays are related to sharks. They have a flat body, long pointed fins and long whip-like tails that can be used for defense against predators. At Stingrays at Caribbean Cove, their stingers or barbs are painlessly clipped back just as human fingernails are clipped. Staff at the exhibit will monitor the stingrays throughout the season to ensure that the barbs stay neatly trimmed. Along for the swim are horseshoe crabs, which are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to true crabs. The horseshoe crab is a living fossil. It has been on the earth for 220 million years, longer than dinosaurs, and it survives today almost identical to its ancient ancestors. The 20-inch deep pool includes a waterfall and a state-of-the-art life support system. The pool also has solitary space and places for the animals to rest if they choose.
Zoo interpreters and educators will be on hand to help visitors and to share information about the animals, sustainable seafood and ocean conservation. Tropical Traders Gift Shop will offer a variety of ocean-related souvenirs, including plush stingrays and other sea life items, shark merchandise, T-shirts, tropical attire, nautical gifts and more. Ray’s Grill will serve up fish and chips, fajitas, island burgers and more. Margaritas, piùa coladas, daiquiris and beer (with or without alcohol) will also be available. The Zoo’s Education Department is planning several programs for children and adults throughout the summer. Some programs include A Day With the Rays, Wake Up With the Rays, Family and Scout Overnights, Camp KangaZoo and more. To register for programs, visit www.stlzoo.org/education or call (314) 646-4544. Admission to Stingrays at Caribbean Cove is $4 per person. Zoo Friends members at the Family Level and above may use their Anywhere Plus passes for admission. Children under 2 are free.
Purchase a one-day Safari Pass for $10 and receive free admission to Stingrays at Caribbean Cove and other attractions. Admission is free the first hour the Zoo is open. Stingray feedings are $1.00 per cup. Groups of 15 or more may call (314) 646-4718 in advance for group discounts. Stingrays at Caribbean Cove will be open April 19 through September 29, 2013, during Zoo hours. The Zoo’s spring hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through May 23.

People People planner St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival planned For beer lovers looking to toast St. Louis’ rich brewing tradition this summer, the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival – presented by the St. Louis Brewers Guild – will return to Forest Park June 14 & 15, bringing together thousands of adults to enjoy a variety of local beer styles and cuisine from St. Louis’ finest restaurants. Now in its seventh year, the festival will feature several new elements, including: • A return to the Central Fields in Forest Park • Entries from over 20 local breweries. • Partnership with the St. Louis Brewers Guild.

Music Tuning in LL COOL J and Ice Cube top tour lineup Tw o - t i m e G r a m m y - w i n n i n g recording artist, LL COOL J f e a t u r i n g D J Z - Tr i p , w i l l headline the “Kings Of The Mic� Tour, which will prove to be this summer ’s ultimate HipHop music experience. Joined by legendary artists Ice Cube, Public Enemy and De La Soul, the Tour will kick-off May 23, 2003 in Tucson, AZ and wrap-up in Los Angeles, CA on July 7, 2013. This tour underscores what true authentic Hip-Hop music is based on, with these groundbreaking artists bringing their music to fans across generations. “The Kings Of The Mic� tour will visit 26 cities, including the Scottrade Center on June 1. Tickets are available now at the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com o r c a l l 8 0 0 - 7 4 5 - 3 0 0 0 .  Ti c k e t s purchased through phone, outlets and internet are subject to additional service charges.The tour will come on the heels of the release of LL’s 14th new studio album, Authentic, on April 30, 2013 on 429 Records/The Savoy Label Group. The multi-platinum artist returned to the studio and kicked the volume up to create a powerful album that came from his true passion for music and would speak to his fans. Celebrating his 30th year in music, A u t h e n t i c f e a t u re s t h e i c o n i c rapper in his element. The Album is anchored by LL’s expressive attitude where his sensitive side is as present as his slicing lyrical switchblades. Authentic comes to life with crazy club jams, tender tracks, personal tributes, a n d h a rd - h i t t i n g c o m m e n t a r y addressing the current hip-hop climate. First introduced to the world in 1984 as a Def Jam Records flagship artist, LL is the first rap artist to amass ten consecutive platinumplus selling albums. The multiplatinum artist and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee is currently tied for third place for most Billboard chart debuts by a rapper. For three decades, LL has
continued to influence hip-hop with rap ballads that captivate generations of audiences. Since then, the veteran rapper has evolved his scope of work across entertainment appearing in numerous television and film roles, among many other projects. L L c u r re n t l y s t a r s o n o n e o f the consistently highest rated shows on television, the CBS hit primetime drama series, "NCIS: Los Angeles." His performance on the show has garnered him a N A A C P I m a g e Aw a r d f o r "Outstanding Male Actor in a D r a m a S e r i e s " t h re e y e a r s i n a row (2011 - 2013).As much as technology, business and society have changed since the 1980s, one thing has remained constant: Ice Cube has been a premier cultural watchdog, astutely commenting on, examining and detailing t h e b re a d t h o f t h e A m e r i c a n experience in uncompromising terms with an unflinching honesty and a sobering perspective, as well as a deft comedic touch that has endeared him to several generations of fans. After penning the most memorable lyrics on N.W.A’s groundbreaking songs, including “Straight Outta Compton,� Ice Cube left the group at the peak of its popularity – a move that led him to one of the most successful careers in music history. As a solo recording artist, Ice Cube has sold more than 10 million albums while remaining one of rap’s most respected and influential artists. In addition to a successful solo career in music, Ice Cube is also an accomplished as writer, director, actor and producer in cinema who’s credits include ‘Boyz In The Hood,’ the ‘Friday,’ ‘Barbershop’ and ‘Are We There Yet’ franchises, and most recently ’21 Jump Street.’ Cube is gearing up for several film releases this year as well as his 10th solo album release, ‘Everythang’s Corrupt.’ In early 2012, Public Enemy kicked off their 25th anniversary b y s t a g i n g a f re e c o n c e r t i n downtown Los Angeles’ notorious S k i d R o w.  J u s t a f e w b l o c k s away at the Grammy Museum, a special exhibit was being installed in their honor. No other group
could possibly mark a career milestone quite like this. Every bit as compelling as their startling first single, “Public Enemy #1,� when it was released in 1987, Public Enemy have never stopped urging to fight the power as their artistry meets with unwavering critical acclaim and legions of worldwide fans. Fans that drove their single, “Harder Than You Think,� into the UK’s Top 5 last summer and prompted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct the group in 2013 - their first year of eligibility.De La Soul is a n A m e r i c a n h i p h o p t r i o b e s t known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, has been called "a hip hop masterpiece." It is the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving high praise from critics. A measure of 3 Feet High and Rising's cross-over appeal was the fact that it was voted Album of the Year by NME, a title better known for its taste in guitar-based music. In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc."

It was brother Rob Silverman, cofounder and co-artistic director who sought out the location, "When I visited the Chesterfield Ampitheater I thought this is an inspirational and beautiful venue emblematic of a great jazz festival!" A nine (9) foot Steinway grand piano -- in addition to key musicians -- are yet two more
hallmarks that the organizers cite for a jazz festival with serious quality. This year's festival features two (2) internationally known jazz icons from outside St. Louis, and several musicians who are a part of the Autumn Hill Jazz label. The roster includes the bands listed below: • St. Louis Jazz All-Stars - 2 pm: Internationally renowned Ptah Williams and Maurice Carnes lead this John Coltrane Tribute
• Jeanne Trevor - 3:30 pm: St. Louis' first lady of jazz and commercial Grammy award winner • Bach to the Future featuring the Silverman Brothers - 5 pm: Classic melodies of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart arranged with jazz and world rhythms • Paul Taylor - 6:30 pm: A true contemporary jazz saxophone force of nature and #1 Billboard Charter • David Benoit - 8 pm: Five time
Grammy Award Nominee, and top Contemporary Jazz Charting artist * NOTE: Schedule Subject to Change "We wanted to bring in some name performers who are our heroes and mix that with some of the best musicians on our Autumn Hill Jazz recording label. These festivals are how we hope to promote our label and St. Louis' best jazz musicians," said Mike Silverman.

Religion Jerusalem family tattoos pilgrims for centuries JERUSALEM (AP) — Orthodox Christians visiting the Holy Land often return home with more than just spiritual memories. Many drop by a centuries-old tattoo parlor in Jerusalem's Old City, inking themselves with a permanent reminder not only of their pilgrimage but also of devotion to their faith. The same Jerusalem family has been tattooing pilgrims with crosses and other religious symbols for hundreds of years, testament to the importance of the ancient ritual. While Catholics can get a written certificate of their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Orthodox Christians opt for a tattoo, a permanent reminder of their visit. In contrast to the bustling streets of the Old City outside, the Razzouk parlor is quiet, with only the buzz of an electric needle zigzagging across a pilgrim's arm. Pilgrims said the pain of the needle is worth the sacrifice. "The pain I feel is like the pain that Jesus Christ felt when he was on the cross with his crown of thorns," said Etetu Legesse, a nurse from Ethiopia,
as a scene depicting the crucifixion was etched on her triceps. Another Ethiopian woman wailed a song as an image of the Virgin Mary was tattooed onto her arm. "I'm singing, God, I'm thinking about God; he died for us on the cross, that's why I'm singing," the 35-year-old woman, who gave her name as Mebrat, said. Anton Razzouk, the family's 72year-old patriarch, says the business can be traced back to a Coptic ancestor who traveled by camel and donkey from Egypt to Jerusalem for a pilgrimage about 300 years ago and decided to stay. Today, the Razzouk business is the oldest tattoo parlor in the Old City catering to Christian tourists. Razzouk says that up until the 1950's his father's business was unchallenged and that he was the only one in the Old City, though a handful of competitors have sprouted up since then. The art form was passed on from father to son and countless pilgrims have returned home over the centuries with the markings. Razzouk said his father, Jacob,
tattooed Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, as well as hundreds of allied troops stationed in the region during World War II. He said the markings remind the faithful not to sin. "A tattoo on the hand is the best certificate of pilgrimage because it stays there forever. It stays until the person is dead. It stays with him until the grave," said Razzouk. Whereas Judaism and Islam prohibit marking the body, for Orthodox Christian denominations like Armenians, Syrians, Ethiopians a n d C o p t s , t a t t o o s a re b o t h decorative and a sign of faith. Roman Catholicism does not ban tattooing, but the practice is not as common. Razzouk says he tattoos 300 to 400 pilgrims each year. His service is so popular that the family often goes to nearby hotels to tattoo travelers as well. D e s i g n s i n c l u d e c ro s s e s i n different shapes, as well as elaborate Virgin Mary and crucifixion motifs. Orthodox pilgrims traditionally get them done during Easter after
Religion briefs Scottish cardinal to atone for sexual misconduct VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has ordered a disgraced Scottish cardinal to leave Scotland for several months to pray and atone for sexual misconduct, issuing a rare public sanction against a “prince of the church� and the first such punishment meted out by Pope Francis. Cardinal Keith O’Brien resigned as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh and recused himself from the March conclave that elected Francis pope after a newspaper reported unnamed priests’ allegations that he acted inappropriately toward them. O’Brien subsequently acknowledged he had engaged in unspecified sexual misbehavior. He apologized and promised to stay out of the church’s public life. On Wednesday, the Vatican said O’Brien, once Britain’s highestranking Catholic leader, would leave Scotland for several months of “spiritual renewal, prayer and penance� for the same reasons he decided not to participate in the conclave. The statement didn’t specify that the decision was imposed on O’Brien by the Vatican as punishment, and in fact went out of its way to suggest that the decision was O’Brien’s. But in the past, wayward priests have been sanctioned by the Vatican with punishments of “prayer and penance,� and the statement made clear Francis supported the move and that the Holy See would decide his future fate.
Kansas prison officials charge doctor’s killer WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The man convicted of killing one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers is now accused of trying to intimidate the woman who reopened his shuttered clinic, prison officials said. Th e K a n s a s D e p a r t m e n t o f Corrections said Tuesday it filed an administrative charge against
wandering through the Old City and praying at the Holy Sepulcher Church, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Tattoos cost between 20 and 100 dollars, depending on how elaborate they are. Orthodox Christians, who follow the older Julian calendar, marked Easter at the beginning of May. Roman Catholic and Protestant denominations that observe the newer Gregorian calendar held their Easter celebrations at the end of March. The shop is unassuming, with a simple sign reading "Tattoo &
Change." To supplement their income, the family runs a moneyexchange business and sells a variety of religious objects and books, from crowns of thorns to rosaries, as well as crosses and tour guides. Razzouk can rest assured that his family will carry on the tradition. He has been training his son Wassim, 40, to take over the family business. On a recent day, Wassim was busy tattooing customers. Anton's 10year-old grandson Nizzar has also shown interest in the business. "A lot of people, when they sit down to make the tattoo, say that they've been waiting for this all their lives," Wassim Razzouk said.

“Iron Man 3”
No matter how much of a scrap heap of metal-twisting mayhem the “Iron Man” franchise piles on (and it’s a lot), Robert Downey’s sheer charm — his unsentimental, offhand yammering — is the real superpower in Marvel’s trilogy. The latest follows not just “Iron Man 2” but the box-office busting “The Avengers.” These global blockbusters are more produced than directed, but it’s nevertheless fitting that Shane Black (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” also with Downey) here inherits the helm from Jon Favreau, the director of the previous two. Black, with co-script writer Drew Pearce, squeezes in as much self-aware, winking wisecracks that give the film some zip. But in a fight between screwball irony and blockbuster bombast, the heavy-metal action unfortunately wins. Downey’s billionaire Tony Stark (Iron Man) is pulled into a battle with the terrorist Mandarin (a bearded Ben Kingsley), who takes credit for a series of random bombings. Also in the bad guy mix is Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), an inventor turned military contractor whom Stark haphazardly jilted back in his partying years. When helicopter missiles collapse Stark’s Malibu estate into the sea, he’s separated from his companion Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and forced to rebuild himself. The action is mostly cut too quickly to enjoy and the 3-D lends a disappointing darkening for what’s been a bright-hued franchise. With Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale and an excellent Ty Simpkins as a mop-headed, fatherless boy who helps Stark. RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief suggestive content. RUNING TIME: 130 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
“Love Is All You Need”
The message behind most romantic comedies is the simpleminded sentiment that love is all you need. So when Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (“In a Better World,” “After the Wedding”) takes that title for a departure from somber drama to romance, you might expect her to deliver it with some serious irony. Yet in Bier’s tale, it turns out love really is all you need. And like any old rom-com, it’s the just-add-water, instant mush variety of love that springs up between the unlikeliest of partners because, hey, you’re in the theater to see a love story. This is several steps above the usual Hollywood romance, with nice low-key passion between Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm as prospective in-laws who connect during chaotic preparations for their children’s wedding. Bier and regular screenwriting partner Anders Thomas Jensen dress things up with gorgeous postcard images of Sorrento, Italy, lovely music, elegant production design and deeper complications and entanglements than we typically see in a screen fling. It’s still standard stuff, though: mostly predictable, mostly gooey and mostly unlike anything resembling our own clunky tales of amour. The film is gentle and good-hearted, but despite a few solemn themes of illness and infidelity, it never rises above slight and diverting. It’s refreshing to see Bier lighten up, yet disappointing she doesn’t find a way to go deeper than the conventional pleasantries explored here. RATED: R for brief sexuality, nudity and some language. RUNING TIME: 116 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
“The Great Gatsby”
If any piece of classic American literature should be depicted on film with wildly decadent and boldly inventive style, it’s “The Great Gatsby.” After all, who was the character of Jay Gatsby himself if not a spinner of grandiose tales and a peddler of lavish dreams? And Baz Luhrmann would seem like the ideal director to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story to the screen yet again, to breathe new life into these revered words,

On the Edge of the Weekend
having shaken up cultural institutions previously with films like “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!” But in Luhrmann’s previous films, there still existed a fundamental understanding of the point of the stories he was telling; beneath their gorgeous trappings, they still reflected the heart and the purpose of the works from which they were drawn. His “Great Gatsby” is all about the glitter but it has no soul — and the fact that he’s directed it in 3-D only magnifies the feeling of artificiality. His camera rushes and swoops and twirls through one elaborately staged bacchanal after another but instead of creating a feeling of vibrancy, the result is repetitive and ultimately numbing. Rather than creating a sense of immersion and tangibility, the 3-D holds you at arm’s length, rendering the expensive, obsessive details as shiny and hollow when they should have been exquisite. Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan star. RATED: PG-13 for some violent images, sexual content, smoking, partying and brief language. RUNNING TIME: 141 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.
“Peeples”
The people of “Peeples” make a better impression than most collections of oddballs in the weary mold of comedies centered on meeting the prospective in-laws. They still overstay their welcome, though. With a long, boring buildup that finally pays off with scattered laughs in the second half, “Peeples” also manages to leave a better impression than the “Tyler Perry Presents” tag on the posters might imply. This is broad comedy, but nowhere near as broad — or boorish and shrill — as producer Perry’s own family adventures (for disclosure’s sake, there are screechy relations here, but Perry’s Madea fortunately isn’t among them). Craig Robinson moves up from caustic supporting player on “The Office” to show himself an engaging romantic lead in the chubby, lovable, gregarious Jack Black school, while Kerry Washington lightens up from heavier drama as the love of his life, a daddy’s girl whose daddy — a stern federal judge played by David Alan Grier — naturally doesn’t approve. Screenwriter and first-time director Tina Gordon Chism (her previous scripts include “Drumline”) crafts a predictable “Meet the Parents” riff, though she fills it out with a pleasant supporting cast of kooks who, while not always interesting, at least are not off-putting. PG-13 for sexual content, drug material and language. RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
“Frances Ha”
On paper it sounds unbearably precious and solipsistic — a cliche, even. Middle-class, college-educated white girl in her mid-20s wanders around New York City with no real home, job or purpose, and as she struggles to find herself, she ends up even more lost. Wah. But as it turns out, “Frances Ha” is absolutely charming: funny, sad, cringe-inducing and heartbreaking but, above all, brimming with authenticity, thanks in large part to a winning star turn from indie darling Greta Gerwig. This is a great showcase for Gerwig’s abiding naturalism; not a single moment from her feels cutesy, selfconscious or false. She and director Noah Baumbach, who worked together on the 2010 comedy “Greenberg,” co-wrote the script, creating a sense of realism through a series of absurd moments. Frances is goofy and guileless, awkward and affectionate but clearly decent-hearted to the core, which only makes her misadventures more agonizing and makes you root harder for her to find true happiness. Baumbach, whose previous films include the subtle, brilliantly observant “The Squid and the Whale,” borrows from a couple of different sources here: the chatty, cultured New York epitomized by 1970s Woody Allen films and the black-and-white intimacy and restless youth of the French New Wave. But there’s a
May 23, 2013
timelessness to this story and a universality: that state of uncertainty between the optimism of college and the responsibility of adulthood. RATED: R for sexual references and language. RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
“Star Trek Into Darkness”
Like fan-boy fiction on a $185 million budget, director J.J. Abrams’ film is reverential, faithful and steeped in “Trek” mythology. It’s also an excessively derivative what-if rehash of themes and interactions that came before, most of the characters lesser copies and even caricatures of the originals. The scenario’s been hijacked and rejiggered from better “Trek” plots of decades ago, the best verbal exchanges lifted nearly verbatim from past adventures. In short, the new chiefs of Starfleet aren’t coming up with much to call their own. But they pile on the spectacle in a way that’s never been seen before in “Star Trek”; the action in “Into Darkness” is top-notch, the visuals grand, though the movie’s needless conversion to 3-D muddies the images. Abrams was most definitely not a fan-boy for this franchise when he made 2009’s “Star Trek,” which reintroduced Kirk, Spock and the rest of the starship Enterprise gang with a timetravel twist that allowed the William Shatner-Leonard Nimoy original to coexist with an entirely different destiny for the new players. Abrams grew up a fan of “Star Wars,” the next space saga he’ll be reviving with the launch of a third trilogy. But his key collaborators, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof, are “Trek” fan-boys to their marrow. They know this world, they love this world, and like many fans, they have a particular fixation on 1982’s “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” the best that the franchise has ever had to offer, on the big-screen or TV. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Zoe Saldana are among the returning ensemble cast. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence. RUNNING TIME: 132 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
“Stories We Tell”
A documentary about Sarah Polley’s family: her father and mother, sister and brother, and the sister and brother she has from her mother’s first marriage. It’s about moments they’ve shared that are seemingly prosaic and universally relatable, as well as the betrayals and losses that shaped and strengthened them. But while it’s incredibly specific in its detail and makes you feel as if you’ve known these people forever after spending less than two hours with them, “Stories We Tell” is also about every family. It reveals that we’re all unreliable narrators of our own histories, especially after years and even decades have gone by. And it reminds us that the truth is a fleeting thing, constantly changing in the slightest of ways depending on who’s telling it. Polley, the Toronto-based actress-turned-filmmaker, has shown astonishing emotional depth and technical maturity at a young age in just two previous features: “Away From Her” and “Take This Waltz.” Like those earlier films, “Stories We Tell” focuses on how a long-term relationship evolves over time. Now 34 and tackling a subject that’s so close to her heart, she reveals a whole new level of artistic mastery. Her meta-, multilayered exploration of her own past combines interviews, archival footage and meticulous reenactments so seamlessly, it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s mythologized. And that’s the point. RATED: PG-13 for thematic elements involving sexuality, brief strong language and smoking. RUNNING TIME: 108 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"Peeples" overstays its welcome By DAVID GERMAIN Associated Press The people of "Peeples" make a better impression than most collections of oddballs in the weary mold of comedies centered on meeting the prospective in-laws. They still overstay their welcome, though. With a long, boring buildup that finally pays off with scattered laughs in the second half, "Peeples" also manages to leave a better impression than the "Tyler Perry Presents" tag on the posters might imply. This is broad comedy, but nowhere near as broad — or boorish and shrill — as producer Perry's own family adventures (for disclosure's sake, there
are screechy relations here, but Perry's Madea fortunately isn't among them). Craig Robinson moves up from caustic supporting player on "The Office" to show himself an engaging romantic lead in the chubby, lovable, gregarious Jack Black school, while Kerry Washington lightens up from heavier drama as the love of his life, a daddy's girl whose daddy, naturally, doesn't approve. Screenwriter and first-time director Tina Gordon Chism (her previous scripts include "Drumline") crafts a predictable "Meet the Parents" riff, though she fills it out with a pleasant supporting cast of kooks who, while not always interesting, at least are not off-putting. Robinson's Wade Walker is a children's
entertainer who somehow landed gorgeous, career-driven United Nations lawyer Grace Peeples (Washington). They've been together for a year, yet Grace hasn't introduced Wade to her well-to-do family (the "chocolate Kennedys," Wade calls them, staring at a photo of the Peeples clan looking rich and beautiful). After Grace ducks out for an annual gathering at the family's Long Island vacation home, Wade decides to force the issue, crashing the party intending to propose to Grace over the weekend, in the bosom of her family. Yeah, that's a plan that's sure to work out well for him. From there, Chism just keeps piling up dumb decisions, silly missteps and skeletons in the Peeples family closet, all intended to wring
maximum awkwardness out of the weekend. Of course, everything Wade does puts him at odds with family patriarch Virgil Peeples (David Alan Grier), a stern federal judge who thinks no man is good enough for his daughter, especially not a guy whose classroom repertoire includes a ditty about saying it, not spraying it, to discourage kids from peeing in their pants. The others in the Peeples fold — matriarch Daphne (S. Epatha Merkerson), daughter Gloria (Kali Hawk) and her best pal Meg (Kimrie Lewis-Davis), and teen son Simon (Tyler James Williams) generally take a shine to Wade. But they all have secrets, which Wade, through his outsider eyes, is able to penetrate, hindering his efforts to ingratiate himself to the family.
Luhrmann's Gatsby take is fun, different By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge I'm virtually certain that I read "The Great Gatsby" during one of the many fine English elective courses I took at Edwardsville High School, and I'm positive that until this week I had never seen any of the three previous film versions of the story. The frivolous, haunting release of director/showman Baz Luhrmann's t a k e o n F. S c o t t F i t z g e r a l d ' s legendary opus opened last Friday and now I doubt myself. All I remembered were a few character names and something about a car accident. Is it the maturation in my age since consuming that novel? I have always been a voracious reader, but giddily naive when I want to be. Or is it that this riff on an American
standard is now playing to a tune that I can dance along with? A great filmmaker will make you question things just as much as he will entertain you and Luhrmann is a master in this instance. Call it what you will: The Jazz Age. The Roaring Twenties. The era of Prohibition. Whatever benchmark you use to define the timeline setting of this story, it's nearly become timeless. For Scott Fitzgerald, though, it was 1922 and the height of prosperity in the U.S. post-WWI. His tale is narrated by the dashing young Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), a pawn in the bond sales game and a stand-in for the author himself. Even this reviewer sees that Carraway is the great everyman through whom we can best view the events of the tale
of mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), the immensely wealthy and enigmatic playboy gadfly of the title. Nick, in fact, is a willing and able tool that Jay uses to get close to the one true love of his past, Carraway's cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan). Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), Daisy's oafish, old moneyed husband is a clear hindrance to Jay's reclamation of sweet Daisy's affections even though he, too, carries on with a mistress (Isla Fisher). Using the eager Carraway, friend/professional golfer Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki), a dash of flapper fun at his Long Island mansion's weekly parties, and enough alcohol to float a boat, Gatsby pulls out all the stops to get a little closer to the blinking green
light that sits at the end of Daisy's dock, a recurring motif that speaks of his jealous yearning for her and the darkened path that keeps them apart. The soft features of the blond socialite are a clear indicator of why Gatsby would go to such peculiar and elaborate lengths to win her over. Or win her back, actually. She's a real looker and someone that he once loved very deeply. Now, he's just deeply into the idea of having her to complete the collection of beautiful things that cover up the black hole inside of him. To gain his status and wealth Gatsby has been involved with many unsavory characters, including Meyer Wolfsheim (Amitabh Bachchan), a gangster. But these men would be able to say the same unsavory character applies to Gatsby as well.

Luhrmann's version of this story - the first to hit the screen in nearly forty years - is fun and different. The party environment, especially, speaks to the effect executive producer Shawn "JayZ" Carter had on the movie. The great house and its lavish pool and gardens are constantly littered with the joyless masses escaping their drudgeries to overdo it with decadent drink and merriment. Confetti, hip-hop music, fast women and faster cars are all as plentiful here as grains of sand at the beach. "The Great Gatsby" runs 145 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some violent images, sexual content, smoking, partying, and brief language. I give this film three stars out of four.

Dining Delights New guidebook can help amateurs cook like the pros By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
W
hat do championship barbecuers cook at home in their own backyards? That one simple question forms the basis of a new cookbook aimed at demystifying the often bewildering world of barbecue. This weekend backyard cooks will be firing up their grills in preparation for this year’s Memorial Day holiday. Find out how to take your barbecue to the next level with ideas and suggestions from veteran contest judge Ardie Davis and world-champion pitmaster Paul Kirk. In their new book, “America’s Best BBQ – Homestyle,” Davis and Kirk explore the world of competition barbecue and share tips and recipes straight from the champs. These guys are serious about barbecue and are eager to pass on their best backyard tips, tricks and recipes. “We have written books on what the pros cook in their restaurants and on the competition circuit. This time we wanted to know what they cook when they don’t have to follow strict rules or pay attention to profit margins and customer demand,” write Davis and Kirk. “Barbecue contest champions are everyday folk like you and us. They just took their backyard cooking beyond their backyard.” So before you light that charcoal or switch on the gas, take a look at the following suggestions from Davis and Kirk to find out how you can turn your backyard fare into championship-quality barbecue. What’s in a name? Quite a lot it seems when it comes to barbecue. It turns out there are at least as many definitions of barbecue as there are ways to spell it. Davis and Kirk get back to basics with a brief summary about what barbecue is and what it isn’t. For the record, throwing a few hot dogs, brats or burgers on a grill is not really barbecue in the minds of purists. That is grilling, which uses a hot and fast method of cooking. True barbecue, explain Davis and Kirk, involves smoking meat over a low heat, usually in a pit, for a
long period of time. This can take anywhere from four to 24 or more hours. This method results in meat that is tender and filled with that signature smoky barbecue taste. That said, the authors are quick to point that inviting friends and family over for a backyard “barbecue” featuring grilled meats is perfectly acceptable. Charcoal vs. Gas This is a hotly (excuse the pun) debated topic in the world of barbecue. Again, purists will nearly always use a charcoal grill over a gas one. Many will argue that this is the only way to get a true smoky flavor. On the other hand, lots of competitive barbecue cooks use gas grills at home. Gas grills preheat quickly, maintain higher temperatures better and clean up easily. Whichever grill you choose, make sure you maintain it properly. A Place for Everything The French call it “mise en place” and the Boy and Girl Scouts know it as “Be prepared.” Whatever you call it, it all comes down to good preparation. Plan your menu and gather ingredients together. Prepare anything such as marinades, rubs, butter or drinks that must be made up ahead of time. Make sure you have enough ice, plates, cups, silverware and paper towels or napkins for every guest. If you are using wood chips, make sure you soak them in water for about an hour and then drain before adding to the fire. Check the weather forecast. Rain might be unavoidable but at least you can minimize its impact on your gathering with a good back up plan such as setting up a tent or bringing the party indoors. Fire it up baby There are two main methods of grilling meat: direct and indirect. Direct grilling cooks food quickly by placing it on a grill rack directly over the heat source. This method works best for smaller portions of foods and those that require less cooking time such as burgers, well-trimmed steaks and chops, according to Davis and Kirk. Indirect grilling is a slower method that cooks food on one side of the heat source, over a drip pan and in a covered grill. This method works like a convection oven in that the hot air circulates around the food and works best for larger cuts of meat that require
For The Edge
The cover of "America's Best BBQ Homestyle." longer cooking times. Getting it done The easiest way to check if your meat is done is with a meat thermometer. This little gadget ensures perfectly cooked meat every time, say Davis and Kirk. Just insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of the uncooked meat, not touching any fat, bone or the grill. The food is done when the thermometer reaches your desired temperature. These vary according to types of meat so always refer to a chart for accurate temperatures. Give it a rest When the meat is done, remove it from the heat source, cover it with a tent of aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 to 30 minutes. This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat. It will also give the meat time to firm up for easier slicing. •••
Clint Cantwell, Smoke in Da Eye Grilled Coffee Coriander-Rubbed New York Strip Steak Ingredients: Coffee-Coriander Rub 2 tablespoons ground coffee 3 tablespoons smoked paprika 1 ½ tablespoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted and ground ½ teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 2 tablespoons kosher salt Steaks 4 New York strip steaks about 1 ½ inches thick ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil Directions: Mix all the rub ingredients together and set aside. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a grill to high, placing the majority of the coals and a couple (optional) fist-sized
wood chunks in the center of the grill to create a cool zone on the outer edges. Once the steaks have come to room temperature, coat all sides with the olive oil; then season generously with the coffeecoriander rub. Place the steaks in the center of the grill, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and grill, covered for another 3 minutes. Flip and cook each side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until they reach your desired level of doneness (145 to 150 degrees F for mediumrare and 150 to 160 degrees F for medium according to the USDA. Remember, however, that the meat will rise in temperature as much as 10 degrees as it rests). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes so that the juices have time to redistribute and don’t end up all over your serving platter or cutting board.
Celebrity wines taking the spotlight By MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press Fancy having Brangelina, Drew Barrymore and Dan Aykroyd over for dinner? No problem, they’ll even bring the wine. OK, maybe the stars themselves won’t show up, but their wines will appear with just a wave of a credit card. You might start with an aperitif of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s new Miraval rose, move on to a light pasta dish served with Barrymore Wine’s pinot grigio, then perhaps finish up with a glass of Aykroyd’s cabernet

franc ice wine for dessert. It’s hard to put a number on celebrity wines, a category that includes singers, sports stars, chefs and more. But Danny Brager, vice president for alcoholic beverages at market research firm Nielsen, says there’s close to 100 on the market at the moment. “It keeps growing all the time,” he said. With thousands and thousands of wines out there, having a recognizable name on the label can help. “Just breaking through the clutter can be hugely difficult and I think that’s where a recognized name just in and of itself can help
On the Edge of the Weekend
May 23, 2013
break through that clutter,” said Brager. Interestingly, the average price for all 750milliliter bottles of wine in the Nielsen database is $9. Average price for celebrity wines: $20. That could be due to a number of factors, including the type of wine the celebrity is selling — some are drawn to high-end efforts. Still, “it’s a significant gap,” Brager points out. Jasper Russo, the fine wine buyer for Sigel’s wine and spirits store in Dallas, recently held a tasting of celebrity wines, including Miraval, a partnership between Jolie and Pitt and the Perrin French winemaking family. “When
you have someone with that kind of serious winemaking background, that’s going to tell you something,” said Russo. There’s a flip side, too. “It tells me volumes when I can’t find out from your website who’s making the wine.” True wine aficionados are “going to judge the wine based on what the wine tastes like in the glass. But you have lots of customers who are not that picky about the wine. For them, wine is just a hedonistic experience. They don’t want to analyze the wine; they just want to enjoy it,” he said. “If you’re a Brangelina fan, it’s cool to have that on the table.”

CAM plans summer showcases Pittman's works to make Midwest debut By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
T
he work of two acclaimed artists will be on show at the Contemporary Art Museum for its summer 2013 season, which begins May 24 and runs through Aug. 11.
The centerpiece of the summer season is “Lari Pittman: A Decorated Chronology,” which is the first comprehensive presentation of Pittman’s work in the Midwest. The exhibition will include 30 large-scale paintings and a 24-part works on paper series from the Los Angeles-based artist. Most of the works in the show will be from Pittman’s later career from the mid-2000s to the present. There will also be a number of earlier works dating back to 1985 that have been borrowed from major museums and private collections from across the country. “This is the first solo museum exhibition of Lari’s work in almost 20 years,” said Kelly Shindler, assistant curator, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. “We’re very excited to bring lots of his work together.” Shindler said the pieces in the show include enormous paintings that are 10-feet tall and dwarf the viewer. She described Pittman’s work as “ambiguous” and “magical” with recurring shapes and colors. Through his work Pittman addresses contentious subjects such as sexuality, desire and violence. “Through the work we really get to see the evolution of his practice. Lari is very well-known and celebrated as a pretty phenomenal figurative painter, and this survey show offers an opportunity to see the trajectory of his practice and how he has developed his own vocabulary of visual language over the last 30 years.” The second major exhibition is “Mika Taanila: Tomorrow’s
New Dawn.” This is the first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. of the Finnish contemporary artist and documentary filmmaker. This exhibition will present a number of significant videos and installations created over the past decade as well as several important new works for the first time. Shindler said Taanila has been a celebrated artist and filmmaker in his home country for more than 20 years, but is only now beginning to gain international recognition. The exhibition will present the North American premiere of Taanila’s acclaimed film “The Most Electrified Town in Finland” (2012). This is a groundbreaking documentary film follows the construction of the world’s most powerful nuclear power plant in western Finland and the first to be built in the West since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. “He’s creating this collage of life before and during the construction of this plant,” said Shindler. The show will also feature a new body of experimental photograms titled “Black and White Movies,” that are inspired by climactic scenes in major Hollywood film productions, as well as several other works that illustrate the significant gallery practice that Taanila has developed over the past decade. On August 8, CAM will also host a public screening of the artist’s award-winning documentaries, “The Future Is Not What It Used to Be,” about the electronic music pioneer and idiosyncratic inventor Erkki Kurenniemi, and “Futuro—A New Stance for Tomorrow,” about the space-age Futuro House designed by architect Matti Suuronen in the 1960s. The museum will feature the work of two additional artists in its Front Room series. The first is Kerry James Marshall, which will run from May 24 through July 7. Chicago-based Marshall is regarded as one of the most important American artists of the past 20 years. He is known for “work in a broad range of media informed by African-American life and history, popular culture, and art history,” according to museum information.

Building expansion, where one of Marshall’s most significant works, “Watts 1963” will be on view. The second Front Room exhibition is “Snacks, Supports, and Something to Rally Around” by St. Louis native Josh Faught. Now based in San Francisco, Faught creates large-scale textile works that use traditional methods such as knitting, crocheting and weaving along with painting and sculpture. He also uses everyday materials such as sequins, posters, buttons and Xeroxed images. “Josh is trained as a weaver… and he creates these gorgeous textile installations, objects and environments that serve as a formal and conceptual pastiche of a variety of styles, of methods, of materials and ideas,” said Shindler. “He’s collecting these everyday objects and materials to create these stunning new forms.” For his exhibition, “Snacks, Supports, and Something to Rally Around,” Faught will present a new body of work that explores his interests in both structural and emotional support and the ongoing passage of time, according to museum information.

The Arts Artistic adventures Dynamic dance companies to bring Chicago Dance scene to Xfest Xfest 2013 will feature a variety of dance and theatre performances this summer from May 29- June 1 performed by companies that embrace the innovation of experimental theatre. Two of these companies will be welcomed to the SIUE campus to share the critical buzz they have earned in the Windy City: Chicago Dance Crash and The Seldoms. Xfest is an annual summer festival celebrating experimental theatre. Created by Professor Peter Cocuzza and Associate Professor Chuck Harper, both in the SIUE Department of Theater and Dance, the festival invites theater and dance companies from around the nation to perform at the SIUE campus and introduce innovative elements to the campus and the community. Crash will be presenting a sampling of its acclaimed pieces in Selected Works on May 30, and The Seldoms will present Exit Disclaimer: Science and Fiction Ahead, a production that addresses the current climate change debate, on June 1. Both performances will take place in the Metcalf Theater. The Chicago-based companies are led by two talented, passionate choreographers who are excited to bring their work to Xfest 2013 to share with the SIUE, Metro East and St. Louis communities: Jessica Deahr and Carrie Hanson. Deahr began working with Chicago Dance Crash in 2007, when she joined the company as a guest artist. She became a member of the company in 2009 and received her first opportunity to choreograph for the company in 2010. Her first show as choreographer was Gotham City, which proved to be immensely successful with a sold-out, sixweekend run at the Storefront Theater.
Since then, Deahr was named artistic director and continues to choreograph popular and compelling dance performances. She has also worked with many different dancers from varied backgrounds and skill sets at Crash, as the company strives to bring varied talent, and thus unique productions, to its stage. “Crash is unique in that we draw from so many dance disciplines,” said Deahr. “We cover everything from ballet to breakdance, jazz and hip hop to acro. Sometimes we feature one specific style, sometimes we fuse several of them together. In order to do so, our company dancers specialize in one area of dance but are capable of performing all styles, which gives us such a huge canvas to create with. “ Hanson, artistic director of The Seldoms, co-founded the company with a group of artists in 2001. Since its founding, The Seldoms has presented productions that tackle diverse social and economic issues that often take place in unique settings, like a truck garage, gallery spaces and an outdoor pool. Through dance, Hanson believes that the company has enabled her to express her voice, which has evolved and changed over the 10 plus years the company has been in existence. “Dance is a great platform for me to think about, research and investigate larger concerns that I have,” Hanson said. “That has defined the shift in my work lately around more issue-based work. For a while, it was site-specific work and that was the fascination for me. Now, some of my interest is in environmentalism and a general kind of interest in notions of wealth, definitions of wealth and how we decide to share it with one another.” Both Deahr and Hanson feel that the principles of experimental theatre bring uniqueness, creativity and poignancy to their work. They draw on these principles to keep their material

fresh and to bring new ideas and awareness to audiences. F o r D e a h r, e x p e r i m e n t a l theatre is about going beyond the conventional and embracing variety within dance.“Compared to the typical contemporary dance
company, Crash definitely puts a lot of work and effort into being unique, eclectic and cutting edge,” said Deahr. “We always want to push the boundaries of what the audience expects to see from us within the dance disciplines we

Sheldon exhibit will focus on local talent By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
S
t. Louis is home to many talented artists and musicians. It is also a city full of historic and beautiful architecture. Take a closer look at this city’s artist treasures at the Sheldon Art Galleries this summer.
The Sheldon has announced its Summer 2013 art exhibition schedule, which runs June 7 through Aug. 24. There will be an All-Gallery Exhibition and Opening Reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on June 7. Visitors to the Bellwether Gallery of St. Louis Artists will see the work of St. Louis painter Wallace Herndon Smith, whose paintings from the early 20th century continue to be exhibited throughout the country. Take a look at the city both inside and out in the Gallery of Photography and Bernoudy Gallery of Architecture, which is exhibiting an array of photographs of St. Louis’ architectural landscape from a variety of photographers. This summer also marks the return of the “City of Gabriels: The History of Jazz in St. Louis, 1895-1973” exhibit, which ran in the History of Jazz Gallery during the 2006-2007 season. Take a look at the schedule below for full details about the Sheldon Art Galleries’ Summer 2013 exhibition line up: • Bellwether Gallery of St. Louis Artists: The work of St. Louis painter Wallace Herndon Smith will be on show June 7 through Aug. 24.

On the Edge of the Weekend
Wallace Herndon Smith was born in 1901 in St. Louis. He was a traditional painter who absorbed the visual language of artists like Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and Edward Hopper. Smith was fluent in many subjects including still-lifes, landscapes, interiors and portraits. He studied at Princeton University and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and his works have been exhibited widely including in New York at the Museum of Modern Art, in Philadelphia, St. Louis, and many other cities. The exhibition is organized by the Sheldon Art Galleries and is drawn from local private collections and the collection of the Bellwether Foundation. • Gallery of Photography and Bernoudy Gallery of Architecture: “The City Inside/Out” runs June 7 through Sept. 7. This exhibit will feature photographs of St. Louis’s architectural landscape by David Johnson, Ken Konchel, Demond Meek, Alise O’Brien, Andrew Raimist and Richard Sprengeler. There will also be a special showing of the Joel Meyerowitz portfolio, “St. Louis and the Arch (1979-1982).” Joel Meyerowitz’s portfolio of dye-transfer photographs of the Gateway Arch taken over four extended visits to the city during different seasons in 1977-1978, defined a period of the city’s history when many sought life in the suburbs. The exhibit also features Andrew Raimist’s contemporary color photographs of the Arch, which show details of its surface marked by scrawls of graffiti and vandalism.
May 23, 2013
David Johnson’s spare color photographs made in a time of economic downturn, regard the traces of human presence left behind in emptied offices. Mid-Century Modern buildings in St. Louis are the subjects of Ken Konchel’s black and white abstractions, which distill architecture into dynamic compositions of line and tone. Richard Sprengeler’s photographs of concrete parking garages also investigate possibilities of form, transforming the dark and unwelcoming structures into elegant studies of line and tone. Demond Meek’s atmospheric color photographs of abandoned houses in St. Louis use a central focal point to render them at once iconic and jewel-like. Alise O’Brien is a nationally-recognized architectural photographer whose large-scale diptychs pair two views of the same space, creating unique spatial experiences and an interplay of forms. Together, these photographers offer unique views of the sometimes alltoo-familiar city. There will be a photography workshop from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 20 where O’Brien will discuss her work and techniques for producing architectural photographs, and will critique portfolios. Attendees may bring up to six prints for discussion. Space is limited. The cost is $75 per person (students $30 with ID) and includes lunch. Call Rebecca Gunter at (314) 533-9900 ext. 18 for reservations. • History of Jazz Gallery: “City of Gabriels: The History of Jazz in St. Louis, 1895-1973” runs June 7 through Aug. 17.

Archival photographs, posters, period advertisements, artifacts such as a trumpet used by Clark Terry and a costume worn by Miles Davis, along with other instruments played by influential musicians, vintage records, printed ephemera, and listening stations with important historical recordings, tell the story of the individuals, places and other conditions that helped to shape the development of jazz music in the St. Louis area. • AT&T Gallery of Children’s Art: “Circus Summer” runs June 7 through Aug. 31. The Sheldon Art Galleries and Circus Flora continue their partnership again this year to sponsor an art contest and exhibition of children’s art inspired by the circus. Included in the exhibition are a festive 3-D carousel and clown portraits made by junior and senior Kindergarten students of The Wilson School, and evocations of acts from inside the big top by students of Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, Studio W., The Wilson School, and young people who attended Circus Flora last summer. Drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics and mixed media works
For The Edge
A photo by Alise O'Brien, who will be featured this summer at the Sheldon. are included in the exhibition, which is curated by Rebecca M. Gunter, gallery coordinator and education manager. • Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery: “Shawn Michelle Smith: In the Details” runs June 7 through Sept. 21. Working with family snapshots from the 1930s and 1940s, Shawn Michelle Smith focuses on the people, objects and shadows that
populate the edges of photographic frames. Drawn to the details that were overlooked by the original photographers, she re-photographs sections and hangs them in grids, bringing forward new narratives from old. The exhibition includes work from two series, “Excess and Accident” and “When the Train Rolls In.” • Summer Fun for the Kids!
Bring the kids for an afternoon of fun art and craft projects in the Galleries, June 27 through Aug. 10 (except for Thursday, July 4). Projects take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoons. A $3 donation per child is suggested.

This lyrical and amusing adventure is a classic tale of the triumph of man over his own follies.

decades," this musical play takes a hilarious romp through the Neverland you never knew. The winner of 5 Tony Awards®, this swashbuckling prequel to Peter Pan will hook you from the moment you let your imagination take flight. "Peter and the Starcatcher"is the innovative and imaginative musical play based on the best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.

The musical’s tale of everlasting love is thrilling entertainment for audiences of all ages. Adapted from the hit film by its Academy Award®winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, "Ghost the Musical" follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam's untimely death. Trapped between two worlds, Sam refuses to leave Molly when he learns she is in grave danger. Desperate to communicate with her, he turns to a storefront psychic who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death. "Ghost the Musical" is “eye-popping brilliant” (AP) and “unlike anything seen onstage before (Newsday).

Zoo offers eco-friendly works of art Visitors to the Saint Louis Zoo can purchase a range of environmentally friendly products hand-crafted by artisans in developing nations across the globe. Purchase of these products not only supports the Zoo’s conservation efforts, but it also helps eradicate poverty in developing countries. “These eco-friendly products help eliminate wastes by repurposing recycled materials, and they help empower artists in developing nations, who can now provide for their families thanks to our visitors’ purchases,” says Tommy Brown, Zoo Gift Shop Manager/Buyer. He also serves as Vice President of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Buyers Group, representing over 350 zoo and aquarium buyers worldwide. Conservation commerce sections of the Zoo’s Tree Top Shop in The Living World, and Safari Gift Shop at the South Entrance, offer a range of interesting items for the home, personal accessories, collectibles, art, jewelry and much more. • Metal sculptures in the shape of animals are made from wire recycled from snares once used to kill animals. • Kenyan carvings are produced from sustainable, recycled materials that are harvested legally and in an ecologically friendly way. • Elegant glass sun-catchers and figurines designed to capture nature’s marvels come from small studios in Ecuador. These and other glass pieces are made in part with recycled glass gathered in landfills to help protect children from broken glass as they hunt through these wastelands for aluminum and food scraps. • And for something truly unique, the Zoo’s shops carry kinetic gear pendants made in the USA from renewable bamboo.Candy at the Zoo is almost entirely free of palm oil, which is causing the decline of animal and plant species in rainforests since massive trees and foliage are being cleared to make way for palm tree plantations. Finally, water conservation is encouraged with the sale of refillable water bottles. The Zoo even sells Elephant Poo Paper made from elephant poop, which children and adults use for crafts, while helping preserve the endangered Asian Elephant. The Zoo is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with free admission. For more information, visit www.stlzoo.org.
