On the Edge of the Weekend

People For The Edge River ’s Edge at the Saint Louis Zoo is about to get even wilder with the addition of three new animal habitats opening on Saturday, June 7, 2014. Purina Painted Dog Preserve will feature a species that hasn’t been seen at the Zoo since the 1950s—the painted dog, or African wild dog. Sun Bear Forest and Andean Bear Range will be the new homes for Malayan sun bears and Andean bears, which have moved from the Zoo’s historic Bear Bluffs. “The expansion of River’s Edge was made possible by The Living Promise Campaign through charitable gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations,” said Dr. Jeffrey Bonner, Dana Brown President and CEO at the Saint Louis Zoo. “We are especially pleased to announce a gift of $1.2 million from Nestlé Purina PetCare Company for our painted dog habitat, the Purina Painted Dog Preserve. The generosity of Purina and all our donors help the Zoo provide a wonderful new home for this and other endangered species and to continue the research and field work we have been doing to help them survive in the wild.” Completed in 2002, the 10-acre River ’s Edge is an immersion exhibit with a meandering trail through the continents of South America, Africa, Asia and North America. The new exhibits have been under construction since 2012 and will occupy previously unutilized space in the area between

and provides a 270-degree view t h ro u g h e i g h t - f o o t - t a l l g l a s s panels. Here, visitors can gain an exceptional perspective on the dogs’ active social lives, including their vocalizing, playing and chasing

circles around their eyes that often resemble a pair of spectacles. The Zoo’s Andean bear pair, Poncho and Maria, ages 21 and 24, love to climb high in the trees to rest, eat and sun themselves during

the anteater and capybara, black rhinoceros and elephant habitats. The animals will have large areas with natural substrates, numerous plants similar to those found in their native habitats and enriching areas for climbing, nest-building, swimming, chasing and exploring. The Zoo’s visitors will get an up-close view of the animals. Purina Painted Dog Preserve Painted dogs, also known as African wild dogs or Cape hunting dogs, are the largest African canid. With their beautifully mottled coats of brown, black, white, red and yellow, these social pack animals are among the most endangered canids in the world. Once common in Africa, the dogs number fewer than 3,000 in the wild today. The Zoo’s pack includes three females Maize, Betty and Sienna, and two, 4-month-old puppies. The 5,500-square-foot habitat includes the Savannah Shade Structure viewing area, which extends into the dogs’ habitat

each other in the open grassy spaces, splashing in the stream, digging in the sand pile or taking a rest in a heated den. “Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is thrilled to make this contribution to the Saint Louis Zoo’s Living Promise Campaign,” said Nestlé Purina President and CEO Pat McGinnis. “Purina has a long-standing passion for pets and also understands the importance of having fun, educational and affordable family friendly attractions, like the Zoo and our very own Purina Farms, in the St. Louis area. Providing support for the Zoo’s development of a native habitat for the endangered painted dog is a great partnership opportunity for Purina.” Andean Bear Range Andean bears are a little known, endangered species that live in the cloud forests of the Andean mountains of South America. Their common name, spectacled bear, comes from the distinctive white

the day. Their new habitat, which is 7,000 square feet and double the size of their previous exhibit in Bear Bluffs, provides natural deadfall and manmade trees to encourage the bears to climb. On the ground, they have grass for digging and a heated den. Andean bears also enjoy water, so their new home features a waterfall with a stream that runs the entire length of their habitat. At the two large viewing areas, visitors can see the bears swimming underwater. Sun Bear Forest The Malayan sun bear is the smallest bear species in the world— and one of the most endangered bears surviving in the wild. Native to the rainforests of Southern China, eastern India and Indonesia, they get their name from the yellowish crescent that radiates from their chest. The Zoo’s sun bear pair, a male named Rimba, age 16, and a female named Miskin, age 22, came to the Zoo from Borneo in 2000, after they were captured by loggers who were clearing the rain forests.

June 12, 2014

Since they spend most of their lives in trees, the bears’ new home, which is 3,700 square feet and one and a half times larger than their previous exhibit, features plenty of tall trees in which to climb, play and rest. When they are ready to descend to the ground, the bears can enjoy the varied terrain or spend time splashing in their waterfall, stream and pool. Their new habitat also includes a pile of logs for zookeepers to hide enrichment treats for the bears to find. Care Center Facility A new 4,200-square-foot behindthe-scenes facility, the Andean Bear, Sun Bear and Painted Dog Care Center, will help zookeepers provide the animals with excellent care. The facility features separate, off-exhibit dens for each species, a keeper workspace, mechanical rooms, an animal food prep kitchen and birthing/maternity dens. The Care Center ’s Keeper Viewing Alcove will allow zookeepers to interact with the painted dogs through a mesh panel. Species Survival Plans Andean bears, painted dogs and Malayan sun bears are all at risk for extinction. The Saint Louis

Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plans for Andean bears and painted dogs. These cooperative b re e d i n g p ro g r a m s f e a t u re a number of zoos working together to ensure the survival of a species. “The new habitats were designed to provide an en r ich ing and spacious home for the animals to explore,” said Steve Bircher, Curator of Mammals/Carnivores at the Saint Louis Zoo. “But we also hope our guests will take home the message of how they can help protect endangered animals in their native habitats of the cloud forests, jungles and savannahs.” Zoo Hours & Information The Zoo is currently open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through May 22. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, May 23 through September 1, the Zoo is open extended hours from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. for Prairie Farms Summer Zoo Weekends.

The birds and bees – for a whole different reason Saint Louis Zoo to mark "National Pollinator Week" For The Edge

ne out of every three bites of food we eat depends on pollinators. Honeybees, bumblebees and other insects, birds and small mammals pollinate over 90 percent of the planet's flowering plants and one third of human food crops. June 16-22, 2014, has been declared “National Pollinator Week” to recognize the importance of pollinators for the health of ecosystems as well as our own survival. During this week, the Saint Louis Zoo’s Monsanto Insectarium will host keeper chats and demonstrations on attracting bees to gardens, identifying different types of bees, beekeeping and more. Lakeside Cafe will offer daily specials featuring food provided by pollinators. The Zoo is offering a special “Pollinator Dinner” on Tuesday, June 17 in the Zoo’s Lakeside Cafe. The Pollinator Dinner theme is focused on saving the Monarch butterfly, which is being threatened by a habitat loss. The misuse of herbicides has largely killed milkweed, which is essential to Monarch caterpillars’ survival. Pollinator Dinner guests will all be given free milkweed seeds and plants they can plant to support the Monarch. The evening kicks off at 6 p.m. with a honey tasting, informational booths and cash bar serving honey bourbon, honey beer and hard cider. The gourmet dinner buffet includes salads, sides, main courses, dessert and mead prepared with ingredients provided by pollinators, such as almonds, strawberries, a variety of vegetables, honey, and more. All foods served at the dinner are inspired by the cultures along the Monarch butterflies migration between Mexico and Canada.

Reservations can be made by calling (314) 646-4897 by June 11. Advanced registration required. See menu and more information at www.stlzoo.org/PollinatorDinner. Proceeds benefit the Zoo. The event ends at 9 p.m. After dinner, special guest Dr. Gary Nabhan, an internationallycelebrated nature writer, conservation biologist and agricultural ecologist will talk

about “Food Chain Restoration for Monarchs, Bees and People” and learn what you can do to help. Pollinator Conservation The Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute Center for Native Pollinator Conservation focuses on the importance and diversity of native pollinators for the maintenance and survival of wildlife, ecosystems and agriculture. The activities of the Center include surveys of native bee populations, education and outreach

programs, producing the first guide to the Bumble Bees of Illinois and Missouri with the University of Illinois, and developing additional bee field guides. Bee surveys are being conducted in the St. Louis area to examine bee diversity and abundance and identify possible areas of conservation concern. Zoo researchers are also surveying bee populations in Forest Park's restored prairies in cooperation with Forest Park Forever and St. Louis Parks Department. The Center is collaborating with Missouri Department of Agriculture, Missouri Department of Transportation and the Xerces Society to develop Pollinator Roadside gardens within Missouri and is working with Gateway Greening and other community garden groups to help them develop best pollinator practices and educate the public about the importance of protecting pollinators. In 2013 the Center also completed its Pollinators/Art/Urban/ Agriculture/Society/and the Environment (PAUSE) project. The PAUSE team of local youth selected and won approval for a pollinator garden in the center of downtown Florissant, Missouri. The Saint Louis Zoo, the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi and Tohono Chul Park of Tucson, Arizona, sponsored this program to engage youth in designing and establishing pollinator gardens and pollinator habitat sculptures, while reaching out to residents of urban communities and sharing their experiences with other students across national and international

boundaries. This project was paid for, in part, with an $86,000 grant from Museums Connect made possible by the U.S. State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. There are over 20,000 species of bees in the world and 425 species of bees in Missouri alone. That is more than all species of birds and mammals put together, according to Ed Spevak, Curator of Invertebrates at the Zoo and Director of the Center for Native Pollinator Conservation. “Many of the more than 4,000 native bees in North America are actually far better pollinators than honey bees for crops like alfalfa, clover, tomatoes, peppers, blueberries, squashes and more,” said Spevak. “But more importantly, they are invaluable to the functioning of many habitats and to the birds and other animals that feed on the seeds, nuts and fruits from the labors of these pollinators. Unfortunately, a number of native bees are disappearing. Everyone from local homeowners to farmers to conservationists can help the bees as well as other pollinators by growing a wildflower garden, protecting habitat and reducing our use of pesticides and herbicides. Everyone can participate in their conservation.” The Saint Louis Zoo’s website now offers directions on how to build bee nesting boxes, in addition to tips on how to plant pollinator gardens and identification guides for Missouri and Illinois bees.

Camping is available next door at Lake Sara Campground and cabins are available nearby at Anthony Acres. Effingham is home to 18 hotels and over 60 restaurants: www.visiteffinghamil.com. Fred Eaglesmith (Vittoria, ON) is a legendary Canadian songwriter and showman who has been touring North America, and abroad for 30 years. He has 20 critically acclaimed albums, has performed on the Late Show with David Letterman and his songs have been recorded by stars including Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, the Cowboy Junkies and others. The Bottle Rockets (Festus, MO) were instrumental in developing the alt.country music sound in the early 1990s, influencing generations of roots rockers and country punks like the Gourds, and the Drive-By Truckers. They were the rural heirs to the Clash, the Pogues and the

Replacements. R obbie Fulks ( Chicago, IL) broke into music flat-picking and singing for legendary bluegrass band Special Consensus. He left the band in 1990 and became an important player in the alt.country music scene releasing many albums on Bloodshot and Geffen Records. Rolling Stone says “Fulks sounds like the wiseass bastard son of Roger Miller.” His latest CD offers a trad/ bluegrass sound with stunning songs, soaring vocals and blazing instrumentals. Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real (Los Angeles, CA) is newer on the scene but is quickly building a large and loyal fan base all over the world. Lukas first picked up the guitar at age 11 to honor a promise he made to his father and was able to teach himself the craft by playing along to classic Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix songs. This American rock and roll band has played over 400 shows in the past three years and played with Neil Young, John Fogerty, Bob Weir, B.B. King, and Bob Dylan. The Giving Tree Band is a seven piece roots-music outfit from Northern Illinois. The Austin Chronicle explains the band's sound as "Seventies American music with The Band and the Dead as obvious touchstones, plus the kind of country/almost-bluegrass of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.” Elizabeth McQueen (Austin, TX), after eight years of singing with Asleep at the Wheel, has returned to her own creative career making music ranging from jazz to rock and roll to country swing. Tif Ginn has been touring with the Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Steam Show for five years, fronting her own band, then playing and singing with Fred’s band. Noted for her edgy songwriting and gutsy performance, she plays songs of trial and heartbreak in a rock and roll style.

Circus Flora runs through June 22

The beloved St. Louis institution , Circus Flora, powered by Ameren, returns for its 28th season to present "The Pawn," a chess game brought to life through the circus. The World CHess Hall of Fame and the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis partner with the circus to create a delightfully imaginative world under the big top next to Powell Hall, May 29 to June 22. Every June, more than 30,000 audience members gather under the big top and leave behind the everyday, entering a place of intrigue and awe. Here the impossible is possible. Adults as well as children are enthralled by a performance that captures their imaginations and transports them to a bygone era. The Circus Flora experience is palpable: the audience is completely

immersed in a spellbinding story that is woven through every detail, from performers to costumes to original music. Drawing from the history of chess, this mythic tale is steeped in right sights, sounds and the mystique of ancient Persia and India. The audience will journey to an exotic world where myth and intellect collide, and the stone city surrenders to the desert's every shifting sands. Follow the Pawn through his journey through curious creatures and intrigues: knights on mounted steed, bishops zigzagging across colored squares, chess pieces flying through the air. In this world, the chess pieces do not wait to be moved. They have their own adventures to play out under the big top. The tale is presented by a cast of hand-picked and internationally renowned circus artists. Making his debut under Circus Flora's big top, clown Andy Kuchler plays the Pawn, maneuvering through the enchanting world of the chess board, encountering friends and foes along the way. Kuchler will meet performers and characters such as an equestrian bareback rider, S. Caleb Carinci-Asch, as he balances fearlessly atop his galloping horse. From Finland and making their U.S. debut, Duo Kate and Pasi will captivate with hand-to-hand and foot juggling finesse. Andriy Bilobrov and his Jack Russell Terriers will show the audience man's best friends like never before. Claire KuciejczykKernan mesmerizes the crowd from above with daring swingingtrapesze performance. Also joining this year are six rare, blue-eyed pied camels from the Canary Islands. "The Pawn" will also feature celebrated Colombian flying trapeze artists, The Flying Cortes, who will introduce new twists, spins and summersaults as well as returning favorites The Flying Wallendas and

local troupe, The St. Louis Arches. Circus Flora presents a truly immersive experience unlike anything else in the country. As artistic director and producer David Balding explains, "Sometimes we need respite from our everyday realities. Circus Flora takes you out of the ordinary, and deep into a magical world. Once you enter the big top, you forget everything else." Circus Flora will not only thrill its audience, but it will woo with a beautiful storyline, delight with its comedy and – like any good work of art – is is an experience that is impossible to forget. Tickets are now on sale for Circus Flora’s 27th big-top production, "The Pawn," powered by Ameren. Call 314-289-4040 or visit www. circusflora.org for tickets. Tickets are also available at the Circus Flora Box Office at 3547 Olive Street in Grand Center. Tickets start at $12y. Group tickets are also available. The Pawn opens May 29 with a peanut-free preview and runs through June 22. Show times are Tuesday through Thursday at 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m.; Sunday at 1 and 5:30 p.m.; and “Little Top Wednesday” at 10 a.m., a special one-hour show for younger kids or the “kids at heart.” Founded in St. Louis in 1987, Circus Flora is a nonprofit p e r f o r m i n g a r t s o rg a n i z a t i o n dedicated to sharing the magic of classic, one-ring circus with audiences of all ages. Circus FLora raises its big top every summer in the arts district at Grand Center. Through its year-round Clowns on Call program, the healing power of Circus Flora brings laughter and respite to thousands of patients and their families every year at two St. Louis-area children's hospitals.

On the Edge of the Weekend

People People planner Browne to perform at the Peabody

Singer-Songwriter Jackson Browne announces a solo acoustic tour this July and August. Playing guitar and piano, Jackson will perform songs from his entire body of work, with varying set lists each night. Advance ticket details are available at www.jacksonbrowne. com. B ro w n e w i l l a p p e a r a t t h e Peabody Opera House in St. Louis on July 7. 2014 will also see two new J a c k s o n B ro w n e re l e a s e s . To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Late For The Sky, originally released in September 1974, the album has been re-mastered and will be released later this year on 180gram vinyl (standard 33 1/3 RPM), all digital platforms, and also, on CD in a new eco-digipak in a partnership between Rhino Records and Inside Recordings. Also, this fall, Jackson will release a new studio album, the thirteenth of his career. Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He

was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2007. Beyond his music, he is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree. org.

The Fox to welcome Jack White

Jack White has announced a 2014 U.S. tour that includes a stop at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on Sunday, July 20th at 7:30pm. Tickets will go on sale Friday, April 11th at 10am through MetroTix. Tickets are available online at MetroTix.com, by calling 314-534-1111 or in person at the Fox Theatre Box office. Jack White’s upcoming new album, Lazaretto, is scheduled for release June 9th on Third Man Records. Lazaretto inhabits an exciting place in White’s expansive discography as the follow-up to 2012′s gold-certified international #1 Blunderbuss, and will be preceded by first single and title track “Lazaretto,” to be released

later this month. Born the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past fifteen years. When the White Stripes started in 1997 no one, least of all Jack, ever expected that a red, white and black two-piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. The band's self-titled debut and sophomore effort De Stijl amassed critical acclaim and built a passionate underground following, but it was the release of 2001’s White Blood Cells that thrust the White Stripes onto magazine covers as they captivated larger audiences through worldwide touring. “Fell in Love With a Girl” served as the band’s breakthrough hit and its accompanying Michel Gondry Lego clip was chosen by Pitchfork Media as the #1 music video of the 2000s. The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with, but it also offered the hit “Seven Nation Army” which has since become appropriated as a multiple sport stadium chant the world over. In 2004, White teamed up with Loretta Lynn to produce and

perform on her Van Lear Rose album, an effort that won Grammy Awards for Best Country Album and Best Country collaboration with vocals for the single “Portland, Oregon.” To date White has won nine Grammys in seven different categories. White formed a "new band of old friends," the Raconteurs, in 2006. Their debut album Broken Boy Soldiers featured the #1 hit single "Steady, As She Goes" and showed a markedly different side

of White, one where songwriting, vocal and guitar duties were shared. In 2009, White returned to his original instrument, the drums, and started the Dead Weather with members of the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and the Greenhornes. Releasing two albums in two years and unleashing a dark, captivating live show upon curious audiences, the Dead Weather further cemented Jack White’s musical versatility and range.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Godzilla"

No one can blame Gareth Edwards for admittedly feeling nervous when asked to helm a remake of the biggest monster movie of all time. Sure, the only other film he had directed happened to be 2010's "Monsters." But this time, it was Godzilla. Well, the latest iteration of the 60-year-old franchise is in capable hands. Edwards' "Godzilla" is a pleasingly paced 3-D spectacle that pays chilling homage to the artful legacy of the original 1954 film — Ishiro Honda's "Gojira" — while emerging as its own prodigious monster movie. Created as a symbol of the nuclear threat following America's atomic attacks on Japan in World War II, Godzilla's reappearance suggests the nuclear tests conducted by the U.S. in the Pacific after the war were really meant to hold the radioactive dinosaur back. This story begins in Japan in 1999 as nuclear physicist Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston, edgy in an unbearable wig) investigates questionable seismic activity at the Janjira nuclear power plant. When a team at the plant, including his scientist wife, Sandra (an underused Juliette Binoche), dies in what everyone believes is a natural disaster, Joe dedicates his life to proving that what caused the devastation was anything but natural. His obsession creates a rift between himself and his son, Ford. Fifteen years later, we catch up with Ford (played by a placid but sexy Aaron Taylor-Johnson) in San Francisco, where he lives with his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and their son. Serving in the U.S. Navy, Ford disarms bombs, a skill that later helps him save the planet from MUTOs — "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism" — that emerge from a long dormancy and begin traveling the globe, feeding on radiation. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence. RUNNING TIME: 123 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Words and Pictures"

If it wasn't for the charming top-liners who can make literary dialogue sound sexy in their sleep, the war in Fred Schepisi's "Words and Pictures" would have to be called off after the opening skirmish. The battlefield is a country prep school where Clive Owen's drunken English teacher and Juliette Binoche's prickly art instructor square off, then pair off, in an amusing school-wide debate over whether literature or painting is best. The way the challenge between these two sharp minds will play out is the only thing that isn't a foregone conclusion in the smooth-as-vodka screenplay, a middle-brow mashing together of "Dead Poets Society" and a rom-com for audiences allergic to vulgarity and sex scenes. The film gives Binoche, who plays Italian painter Dina Delsanto, a chance to show off her own artwork, which is liberally displayed in the film and which looks considerably better and more painterly than simple props. Working with portraiture and large-scale abstraction, she plays a famous artist struck with rheumatoid arthritis and increasingly unable to move her arms and hands freely. Her solution is to use industrial-size paint dispensers hanging from overhead hooks which she can move artistically without fine brushwork. All these difficulties more or less justify her fierce anti-social attitude, which Binoche is able to carry off without becoming an unpleasant character. Owen pulls out a surprisingly literate side of himself in the role of Jack Marcus, an irrepressibly outspoken English teacher and wordsmith who, on the verge of being ousted from the school for alcoholic disorderliness, does something repulsively unethical to save his job.

"Blended"

To say that the new Adam Sandler movie, "Blended," is better than some of his other recent work — "Jack and Jill," for example — isn't saying much. After all, some natural disasters cause less damage than others. But none are a positive development. OK, that's overly harsh to "Blended" — though not to "Jack and Jill." But please understand the frustration. Some of us are old enough to recall a time when Sandler made movies that were authentically funny, and didn't merely earn laughs by reminding people of their most puerile instincts. We also remember acting work by Sandler that deserved real admiration— remember the 2002 "Punch-Drunk Love"? Not to mention some classic moments on "Saturday Night Live" — but now we're REALLY dating ourselves. From Sandler's early, goofy, charming humor, we've traveled to a point where we're trying to analyze, in "Blended," whether his mocking of feminine hygiene products is better or worse than his jokes about a young boy's sexual explorations or a teen girl's futile efforts to boost her flat chest. But there's something else disappointing about "Blended," which stars Sandler and Drew Barrymore (in their third collaboration) as single parents thrown together on an African family vacation. The fact is, there are actual sparks of sweetness, actual moments of tenderness, mostly thanks to Barrymore's sunny and grounded presence (one shudders to imagine this movie without her) and the relaxed chemistry between the stars. But the moments don't stay sweet. They'll end with something like Sandler loudly urinating. Or two rhinos copulating. Tee hee. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for crude and sexual content, and language." RUNNING TIME: 117 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Maleficent"

Maybe it's too soon to say the tide has shifted definitively. But it's certainly been a unique time for fairy-tale villains. After hundreds of years of moral clarity, suddenly we're getting a new look at these evil creatures, who are actually turning out to be complex beings, and not that bad at all. Really, they've just been misunderstood. (And, by the way, those charming princes? Highly overrated.) The most obvious recent example is "Frozen," the animated Disney blockbuster that showed us how the Snow Queen, long portrayed as an icy-hearted villain, was actually a tragic victim of circumstance, with a pure and loving heart. And now we have "Maleficent," which tells us that one of the most evil characters in all of pop culture is equally vulnerable and misunderstood. Plus, she's gorgeous. Duh. She's Angelina Jolie. All this is a rather seismic development in fairytale-dom. There are numerous versions of "Sleeping Beauty," stemming back even before Charles Perrault's from 1697, but the fairy who casts an angry spell on the baby princess, dooming her to prick her finger, has always been, well, just nasty. But now, 55 years after Disney introduced the character named Maleficent in its 1959 classic film— and colored her skin an eerie green — the studio is back with a live-action (not to mention 3D) Maleficent who's more superheroine than evil fairy. Think Maleficent by way of Lara Croft. RATEDL PG by the Motion Picture Association of America

"for sequences of fantasy action and violence, including frightening images." RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"The Fault in Our Stars"

Let's start with the obvious. For its core audience, "The Fault in Our Stars" is essentially critic-proof. If you're a fan of the wildly popular young-adult book by John Green, and have already shed tears at its story of teenage cancer patients learning about life, love and sex as they fight to stay alive, then you'll be a fan of this movie. Slam dunk. Go buy your ticket. But of course, you probably already have. The situation becomes more nuanced, though, for those who haven't read the book. Both author and fans have pronounced the movie, directed by Josh Boone, extremely faithful to the novel, but does that make for the optimal cinematic experience? Many films have failed, after all, for adhering too strictly to the written page. Happily, we can report that "The Fault in Our Stars" is, despite the occasional misstep in tone, largely a solid success — a film that not only manages the transition from page to screen nicely, but also navigates with skill that hugely tricky line between the touching and the trite, the moving and the maudlin. And that latter task ain't easy. But there's one major reason that the movie succeeds in this regard. Her name is Shailene Woodley. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 125 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Edge of Tomorrow"

The time-shifting sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow" has perfectly encapsulated what it is to be a summertime moviegoer. We're dropped into a battlefield of digital effects with the fate of the world at stake. Torrents of gunfire and explosions surround. Some alien clonks us over the head. We black out and it all happens again. And again. "Edge of Tomorrow," in which Tom Cruise plays an officer who continually relives a day of combat against extraterrestrials, probably isn't a commentary on the repetitiveness of today's blockbusters. Its star, after all, has been the unchanging, unstoppable avatar of big summer movies. But in the film directed by Doug Liman ("Swingers," ''The Bourne Identity"), the action-star persona of Cruise is put into a phantasmagorical blender. As military marketer Maj. William Cage, he's thrown into battle against his will by an unsympathetic general (the excellent Brendan Gleeson), and then finds himself stuck in a mysterious time loop. Cruise dies dozens of times over and over, often in comical ways. Does this sound like a great movie, or what? The selling point of "Edge of Tomorrow" may indeed be seeing one of Hollywood's most divisive icons reduced to Wile E. Coyote. He's like a real-life version of the video game "Contra," with the code of seemingly endless life. Dying again and again, Cruise has rarely been so likable. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material." RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

Barrymore can't save "Blended" By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press To say that the new Adam Sandler movie, "Blended," is better than some of his other recent work — "Jack and Jill," for example — isn't saying much. After all, some natural disasters cause less damage than others. But none are a positive development. OK, that's overly harsh to "Blended" — though not to "Jack and Jill." But please understand the frustration. Some of us are old enough to recall a time when Sandler made movies that were authentically funny, and didn't merely earn laughs by reminding people of their most puerile instincts. We also remember acting work by Sandler that deserved real admiration— remember the 2002 "Punch-Drunk Love"? Not to mention some

classic moments on "Saturday Night Live" — but now we're REALLY dating ourselves. From Sandler's early, goofy, charming humor, we've traveled to a point where we're trying to analyze, in "Blended," whether his mocking of feminine hygiene products is better or worse than his jokes about a young boy's sexual explorations or a teen girl's futile efforts to boost her flat chest. But there's something else disappointing about "Blended," which stars Sandler and Drew Barrymore (in their third collaboration) as single parents thrown together on an African family vacation. The fact is, there are actual sparks of sweetness, actual moments of tenderness, mostly thanks to Barrymore's sunny and grounded presence (one shudders to imagine this movie without her) and the relaxed chemistry between the stars. But the

moments don't stay sweet. They'll end with something like Sandler loudly urinating. Or two rhinos copulating. Tee hee. Sandler plays Jim, a widower with three daughters who works at a sporting-goods store. Barrymore is Lauren, divorced from her narcissistic husband and trying to juggle parenting two boys with running a closetorganizing service with her gal pal (Wendi McLendon-Covey). They first meet on a disastrous blind date. But, of course, they keep running into each other again. Like at the drugstore, where Jim is buying sanitary products for his teen daughter (much hilarity ensues, including from the cashier, who dishes about her own reproductive system, as cashiers so often do when you're checking out) and Lauren is trying to replace a centerfold she's ripped up from her son's girlie magazine.

The coincidences keep happening, and so, eventually, and don't ask how — director Frank Coraci and screenwriters Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera don't lose sleep over plausibility — Jim and Lauren are both in South Africa, not only in the same resort, but the same suite! They're appalled to discover each other there, but of course, there's much to be learned over the ensuing days, about parenting, friendship, romance, family and wildlife. In case we didn't absorb those lessons, we're reminded of them by our singing — and bumping, and grinding — musical narrator, Terry Crews. There's also a not-very-funny side-plot involving a leering husband (Kevin Nealon) and a bride who expresses excitement by shaking her boobs (tee hee again). Not surprisingly, there is little attempt to depict real Africans.

Jolie a fun hero-villain in "Maleficent" By JOCELYN NOVECK Of The Edge Maybe it's too soon to say the tide has shifted definitively. But it's certainly been a unique time for fairytale villains. After hundreds of years of moral clarity, suddenly we're getting a new look at these evil creatures, who are actually turning out to be complex beings, and not that bad at all.

The most obvious recent example is "Frozen," the animated Disney blockbuster that showed us how the Snow Queen, long portrayed as an icy-hearted villain, was actually a tragic victim of circumstance, with a pure and loving heart. And now we have "Maleficent," which tells us that

one of the most evil characters in all of pop culture is equally vulnerable and misunderstood. Plus, she's gorgeous. Duh. She's Angelina Jolie. All this is a rather seismic development in fairytale-dom. There are numerous versions of "Sleeping Beauty," stemming back even before Charles Perrault's from 1697, but the fairy who casts an angry spell on the baby princess, dooming her to prick her finger, has always been, well, just nasty. But now, 55 years after Disney introduced the character named Maleficent in its 1959 classic film— and colored her skin an eerie green — the studio is back with a liveaction (not to mention 3D) Maleficent who's more superheroine than evil fairy. Think Maleficent by way of Lara Croft.

And though Maleficent is no longer green-skinned, it's hard not to think of another green-skinned villainess who's also been rehabilitated, by means of the durable Broadway hit "Wicked": the witch Elphaba from "The Wizard of Oz," who, it turns out, we just didn't know enough about. And so it is in "Maleficent," in which director Robert Stromberg and screenwriter Linda Woolverton take us back to the fairy's youth to better understand her. She's a plucky young thing with lovely wings and bright pink lipstick, which will turn bloodred when she becomes an adult (the fairy world clearly isn't lacking for cosmetics.) One day she meets a young man from that other, darker world, where humans live. The two form a strong bond. But the ugliest human emotions — jealousy and ambition — will

intervene. Young Stefan will grow into the power-hungry older Stefan (the wild-eyed South African actor Sharlto Copley.) And his stunning betrayal of Maleficent will instantly harden her, turning her into the villainess we recognize. Alas, the story's still all about a guy, in the end. But we digress. "Maleficent" is surely targeted to the same audience — young and female — which has so lovingly embraced "Frozen" and its appealing message of female solidarity and e m p o w e r m e n t . B u t " F ro z e n " felt clever, charming, and fresh. "Maleficent," less so. Part of this is due, paradoxically, to Jolie's star wattage. Don't get us wrong: she's the best thing about the movie, and always worth watching. But it blunts the effectiveness of the narrative if we can never quite believe

June 12, 2014

Maleficent is bad. That's because we know she's essentially good, and she seems to know that we know it; You can see it in the upturned wrinkle of her mouth. And frankly, the other characters are simply not that interesting — Stefan, but also Elle Fanning's Aurora, or "Sleeping Beauty." The best scenes Aurora has, in fact, are when she's a gurgling baby and then, adorably, a toddler, played by none other than 5-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. (In the movie's one laugh-out-loud moment, Maleficent tells Aurora: "I don't like children.") But Fanning as Aurora is too boringly sweet — especially compared to the fabulous-in-everyway Maleficent, with her blazing lips, fashionable black headgear and exaggerated cheekbones, not to mention her way around a quip.

Religion Religion briefs Abuse victims' leader calls pope's planned meeting a public relations ploy

for abuse-related reasons, though it wasn't clear if they were accused of committing abuse or covering it up.

CHICAGO (AP) — The head of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests says Pope Francis's plan to meet with abuse victims looks like "a public relations ploy." SNAP President Barbara Blaine says the pope already has all the information he needs to remove priests who abuse minors and bishops who cover it up. Francis's upcoming meeting with a halfdozen victims, announced Monday, is being organized by Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston. O'Malley was instrumental in setting up a 2008 meeting between clergy sex-abuse victims and Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. Blaine says that meeting didn't lead to meaningful action. Pope Francis said Monday that abuse of children is an "ugly" crime that betrays God. He also revealed that three bishops are currently under investigation by the Vatican

Parents of rampage victim remember son's spiritual fruit

GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — At a memorial service for victims of a 22-year-old man's weekend rampage in California, a message was read from the parents of one of the killer's slain roommates to their departed son. The message to 20-year-old Weihan Wang from his parents said, "You will be at peace in the hands of God." They added that they had seen God's "spiritual fruits" in his life — that their son was "gentle, kind, loving, joyful, peaceful, faithful and self-controlled." Wang, who went by the name of David, graduated from Fremont Christian School and was studying computer engineering at UC Santa Barbara. The tribute from his parents was read by Richard Martinez, whose son Christopher also was among the victims.

Son of late Kentucky snake handler recovering from bite

NC's protests are Democratic tool in election year

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The son of a snake-handling Kentucky preacher who died from a snake bite says he's recovering from his own rattlesnake wound. Cody Coots told the Lexington HeraldLeader that he was bitten on a finger as he removed snakes from a cage on Monday. The 21-year Coots says he declined medical treatment from an ambulance crew. Instead, he says he relied on prayer for healing. Coots says he told the Lord he wouldn't go to the hospital. He says his hand swelled and he vomited repeatedly, but by Tuesday the pain was gone. Coots is a fourth-generation snake handler and had been bitten five times before. His father, Jamie Coots, died of a snake bite in February. Following his death, Cody Coots took over as pastor of the Full

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Weekly protesters at the North Carolina Legislature have some work to do if they want their voices against GOP policies to translate to votes at the polls. Thousands have turned out for the protests in Raleigh over the last year. The "Moral Monday" movement has sought the repeal of GOP-favored voting laws, increased teacher pay, Medicaid expansion and more funding for social programs. All of the movement's positions are favored by Democrats, who hope to publicize their platform and recruit volunteers to help them win elections, especially the contested U.S. Senate race. The Rev. William Barber says his group is launching a new campaign to register voters and spur local movements throughout the state. Republicans say they're doing the same.

Music Tuning in Live at Powell Hall summer schedule announced

The St. Louis Symphony’s classical subscription season has concluded for the year, but there are still seven additional concerts coming up, all part of Live at Powell Hall programming. There is truly something for every music lover in this summer’s lineup. • The 5 Browns (June 20, 2014 at 7:30pm) The 5 Browns return to Powell Hall, this time appearing with the St. Louis Symphony. The siblings, all Juilliard-trained, are sure to dazzle with their impeccable piano performances. Tickets for all of the concerts are still available and may be purchased by phone at 314-534-1700, on-line at stlsymphony.org or in person at the Powell Hall Box Office, located at 718 North Grand Boulevard in St. Louis.

Church to appear in St. Louis

Eric Church’s The Outsiders World Tour will launch in North America on September 11, 2014 with 31 arena dates being announced today. Tickets for the tour, which beings in Bossier City, Louisiana, will go on sale April 18 in select markets with additional information made available on EricChurch.com. Members of the Church Choir will have access to a pre-sale starting on April 15. Church selected Dwight Yoakam as the special guest for the entire tour. Opening the tour on different dates throughout the first leg will be rising country music duo Brothers Osborne, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Brandy Clark, or the hard rocking band Halestorm. Hailed as a top entertainer by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN Magazine, and more, Church will bring his rip-roaring attitude when he performs at venues such as Madison Square Garden, Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the Sprint Center in Kansas City, the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, and FedExForum in Memphis, among others. Church will also return to the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C. where he sold more than 15,000 tickets in 2012 as part of his headlining arena tour, The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour—which Pollstar named a Top Tour of 2012. While The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour employed a succession of backdrops as the focus of the show, Church's The Outsiders World Tour will use a much more high tech design and will offer fans a 360° view of the entertainer and his band. Church will perform at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Sept. 13. On sale dates and ticket information for each market will be announced on EricChurch.com. The best seats on The Outsiders World Tour will once again be paperless so fans get them instead of scalpers. A limited number of VIP tickets for each show will also be available for purchase. Each VIP ticket includes a premium ticket in the first 15 rows or in the general admission pit, an invitation to a pre-show party at The Outsiders Joint, a two song acoustic pre-show

performance by Eric Church, a limited edition show poster, and a dedicated VIP concert concierge. Fans have the chance to gain access to pre-sale tickets for each show by becoming a Standard or Premium member of the Church Choir. Join the Church Choir by visiting http://smarturl.it/ churchchoir. Church’s current album, The Outsiders, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard Country Albums Chart earlier this year, and his current hit single “Give Me Back My Hometown,” is Top 5-andrising. “Eric Church is working on a level that few other country artists of his generation can touch,” said Ken Tucker at NPR Music in his review of the album, continuing, “Shrewd, defiant, sly and funny, Eric Church has succeeded in what he set out to do: He’s using the power he’s accrued from making hit records to make exactly the kind of album he wants, heedless of industry approval. And this is how good he is: Now he’ll go out and — through the singles he’ll release, the touring he’ll do and the videos he’ll make — probably

turn this personal project into a big commercial deal. The Outsiders deserves nothing less.” The Outsiders is the follow-up to Church’s Platinum-certified album Chief, (named the 2012 Album of the Year by both CMA and ACM, and Grammy-nominated for Best Country Album) which featured five Top 20 singles: “Homeboy” (certified Platinum for sales in excess of one million singles); the Top 10 “Like Jesus Does” and the Top 5 “Creepin’” (both certified Gold for sales in excess of 500,000 singles each); and two No. 1 hits “Drink in My Hand” (certified Platinum) and “Springsteen” (certified Double Platinum for sales in excess of two million singles). Church’s debut album, Sinners Like Me (2006) and his sophomore album Carolina (2009) are both RIAA Gold-certified. Carolina had three hit singles: the Top 10 “Hell on the Heart” as well as Top 20 hit “Smoke A Little Smoke” and Top 10 smash “Love Your Love The Most,” which were both certified Gold. Sinners Like Me spawned three Top 20 singles: “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” and “Guys Like Me.”

Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, placing him in an elite group of global superstars. Nearly 40 of Yoakam’s singles have charted, with 14 peaking in the Top 10, including the hits “Honky Tonk M a n , ” “ P l e a s e , P l e a s e B a b y, ” “Little Ways,” “I Sang Dixie,” “It Only Hurts When I Cry,” and “Fast as You.” He is a 21-time nominated, 2-time Grammy Award winner. In celebration of his latest critically acclaimed album, 3 Pears, he received the Artist of the Year award at the 2013 Americana Music Honors & Awards ceremony, the most prestigious award offered by the organization. In 2014, Yoakam will appear as a recurring guest star in multiple episodes of the thrilling CBS series, “Under the Dome,” based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel of the same name. For more information, visit www. dwightyoakam.com. For John (guitar) and TJ (vocals/ guitar) Osborne, getting into music was unavoidable. Growing up in the water town of Deale, Maryland, their close-nit-family of seven spent most nights not in

front of the television, but writing and playing songs. In April 2011, Warner Chappell/King Pen Music offered them a publishing deal. A year later, Capitol Records offered them a record deal. The Brothers Osborne are currently in the studio finishing their debut album, an album they describe as “aggressive, bold and fragile at times.” Their current single is “Rum.” For more information, visit www. brothersosborne.com. Brandy Clark’s debut album, 12 Stories, was released in October 2013 and has received tremendous critical acclaim. When reviewing 12 Stories, Randy Lewis of The Los Angeles Times wrote, “This is the country debut of the year.” Clark was nominated for her first G R A MMY Aw a rd e a r l i e r t h i s year for Best Country Song for “Mama’s Broken Heart,” which she co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert took to No. 1. That song also earned Clark her first CMA and ACM nominations, both for Song of the Year. Clark as been on tour with Jennifer Nettles. For more information visit www. brandyclarkmusic.com.

Fox to welcome Bob Weir

Bob Weir and Ratdog with very special guest The Chris Robinson Brotherhood will appear Friday, August 29 at 7 p.m. Live at The Fox Theatre. Ti c k e t s a r e $ 9 9 . 5 0 , $ 5 9 . 5 0 , $49.50, $39.50 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office. Wi t h a t o u r i n g h i s t o r y t h a t has made him one of the most traveled road musicians of a l l t i m e a n d a re s t l e s s m u s i c personality that has kept him

occupied for over 50 years, Weir knows a thing or two about staying fresh and living in the moment. Although best known as one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead, adding Dead staples such as “Truckin’,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Cassidy” t o t h e b a n d ’ s c a t a l o g , We i r o b t a i n e d a l o n g a n d a ff l u e n t music career that has allowed him to do what he loves and share it with others for nearly his entire life. In 1964, at the age of 17, Weir spent the majority of his time at a Palo Alto music store where Jerry Garcia taught guitar lessons. It wasn’t long before Weir and Garcia, along with Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, formed a blues and folk outfit. Originally called Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, the band was later renamed The Warlocks—adding Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzman to the lineup—and eventually came to be known as the Grateful Dead. Throughout the late 1980s and during the first half of the 1990s, the Dead remained Weir ’s primary gig. Touring incessantly while all the while building up a community of “Deadheads,” the band finally found commercial success with their 1987 album, In the Dark. When Garcia died in 1 9 9 5 , We i r h a d j u s t re c e n t l y formed RatDog with Rob Wasserman, a bassist he had been playing duo shows with since the late 1980s. After Garcia’s death, former Primus drummer Jay Lane and ex-Kingfish harmonica/guitar player Matthew Kelly were added into the mix. With a revolving lineup, the group toured relentlessly, building a name for themselves while performing a

Card

mix of new Weir compositions and older, reworked Dead songs. In 1998, Weir reunited with several former Dead bandmates to tour as The Other Ones, releasing a live album in 1999 and hitting the road again in 2000. The same year, RatDog released their first album, Evening Moods. In 2009, original Grateful Dead members We i r, L e s h , K re u t z m a n n a n d Mic ke y Hart te ame d up w ith g u i t a r i s t Wa r re n H a y n e s a n d RatDog keyboardist Chimenti to tour as the Dead. The results, however, were erratic, leaving Weir feeling like the road trip was more work than fun and Lesh saying the music didn’t seem to be moving forward. Besides stirring up some commotion, the ’09 Dead tour reminded Weir and Lesh of the chemistry the two had as bandmates. This led to the creation of Furthur—arguably

one of the most successful Dead projects Weir has participated in to date. On April 29th, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood returns f ro m g a t h e r i n g t h e i n e ff a b l e with Phosphorescent Harvest, their third long playing album for Silver Arrow Records. Having first unshackled the air with Big Moon Ritual (June 1012) and The Magic Door (September 2012), the band--Robinson (Lead vocals, g u i t a r ) , N e a l C a s a l ( g u i t a r, vocals), Adam Macdougall (keys, vocals), George Sluppick (drums), and Mark Dutton (bass, vocals)--trucked the realms re l e n t l e s s l y, i n c l u d i n g a 11 8 show stretch that never failed to illuminate blank nights to just this side of clarity. Late 2013 saw the fruits of that labor forever captured in the proverbial amber by legendary tape priestess, Betty

Cantor-Jackson (Grateful Dead), on the eight-sided limited-edition vinyl release Betty's S.F. Blends Volume 1, which documented a glorious five night run at San Francisco's famed American Music Hall. Phosphorescent Harvest features ten new songs that build on the California group's impressively growing repertoire b y c o m b i n i n g t h e d i re c t a n d immediate songwriting Robinson has long been known for with an expansive sense of space and texture that has never been so fully realized until now. In an age when so many put their beliefs in trends, the volumes have all collapsed and rooms are filled with tiny rock and dampened lamps, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood rolls on to sharpen the blur at your brow and wind like smoke through your mind.

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Arts Curtain to fall on Edison Ovation Series 2014-15 season will be the last at Washington University For The Edge

t’s been a good run, but eventually the house lights come up.

Since 1973, the Edison Ovations Series has brought nationally and internationally known performing artists to Washington University in St. Louis and to the community. But the 2014-15 season will be the Ovations’ last. “All good things come to an end,” said Charlie Robin, executive director of Edison. “For 41 seasons, the Edison Ovations Series has provided trend-setting music, theater and dance artists with a receptive and adventurous audience. “I’m very proud of everything we’ve achieved,” Robin said. “To help celebrate that legacy, for this final season, we’re welcoming a mix of old friends, a U.S. premiere, and unexpected new collaborations. “This year will be our final

Comedy (abridged).” The spring semester opens Jan. 16 with “The Clothesline Muse,” a multidisciplinary performance — featuring sixtime Grammy nominee Nnenna Freelon — that celebrates the unlikely links between domestic labor and community empowerment. New York’s Doug Varone and Dancers return for a pair of shows Jan. 23 and 24. In February, Edison presents two events in WUSTL’s 560 Music Center. On Feb. 14, Broadway veterans Liz Callaway and Jason Graae combine love songs and comedy in “Happily Ever Laughter: A Valentine’s Party.” Then, on Feb. 21, Edison welcomes The King’s Singers, one of the world’s most celebrated vocal ensembles, for an evening of impeccable a cappella. Ovations stalwart Scrap Arts Music, the Earth-friendly, Vancouver-based percussion ensemble, returns March 20.

WUSTL faculty and staff; and $20 for students and children. Subscriptions are available at the basic level (three, four or five events at $32 per ticket) and at the premiere level (six or more events at $28 per ticket). Ovations for young people tickets are $12 each. Subscriptions to that series are $27, or $24 for WUSTL faculty and staff. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445

Forsyth Blvd. The 560 Music Center is located in University City at 560 Trinity Ave. For more information or to order tickets, call the Edison Box Office at 314-935-6543; email edison@wustl.edu or visit edison.wustl.edu. Edison programs are made possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis; and private contributors.

The Arts EAC to celebrate "1000 Threads" By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

he thought of a fiber art exhibit conjures up imagery of beautiful quilts and woven fabrics – both antique and modern – but the Edwardsville Arts Center ’s upcoming fiber exhibit, “1000 Threads,” which opens June 6 at 6 p.m. in the main gallery, is anything but that. The exhibit, curated by Edwardsville resident Nicole Ottwell, features a regional group of talented artists melding fiber into their art in very unusual and creative ways. Ottwell, a 1997 EHS graduate and an SIUE alumni with a MSA in fibers from the University of Missouri-Columbia, currently teaches art as an adjunct faculty in fiber “and other things” at Lindenwood University. “I’m sort of everywhere teaching classes as well,” she pointed out. Ottwell’s extensive background in fibers made her the perfect choice to curate this year ’s EAC fiber exhibit. “Pat

EAC exhibit curator Nicole Ottwell shows off pieces to be displayed in "1000 Threads." Quinn (former EAC Executive Director) had talked to me about wanting to do a fibers show with some not-seen-before artists and I was really excited about that,” Ottwell said. “I started thinking of who I knew and who I knew of who could potentially show their work and it just grew from there.” The result is an exhibit that will feature the work of 11 fiber artists most of which are from the St. Louis metropolitan area, but a few are from outside the states of Illinois and Missouri. “Fiber is a part of our everyday lives. The artists in this show are using fiber in new and inventive ways,” Ottwell said. “These artists are thinking about the world around them and the materials that they chose furthers their ideas.” J. Penny Burton, a Canadian who is working on her master ’s at the University of MissouriColumbia, will be one of the featured artists. “She is working with gut,” Ottwell explained. “So she’s working with hog casings or what we put sausage inside of. She is working with it in the sculptural fashion.” Burton’s art involves first washing the hog gut and splitting it open. “And once it dries, it shrinks up a little bit, but it looks like layers of human skin and you can see through it,” Ottwell noted. “So she’s encasing things in the hog casing. She’s putting down a layer of casing, putting stitched objects in there, and then she’s putting another layer of hog casings.” Ottwell noted that Burton was “making all new work” for the show. “She took it on as a challenge to make new work. So I don’t know what it will look like. I’m excited about that,” Ottwell added. Erin Jameson Brown’s work combines porcelain and fiber. “She’s actually working in porcelain but she’s dipping and

casting fiber-related items. She ends up with this porcelain structure afterward. What I’m most interested in about her work is that she’s working with sometimes knit objects. Sometimes paper and cloth objects. What’s really cool about them is that you can still see the knit structure,” Ottwell said. “I don’t understand the magic she makes happen with this because the knitted ones you can still see through and there’s gaps in the porcelain. So it looks as though she’s almost knit with clay. It’s beautiful and amazing.” Since fiber exhibits traditionally include quilts and woven fabric, women are typically the artists featured which was why Ottwell “tried really hard to include men” in the exhibit. She chose Eric Carlson, who holds an MFA in ceramics from the University of Missouri-Columbia, as one of the fiber artist men to feature in “1000 Threads.” Although a sculptor in ceramics, Ottwell noted that “he’s always doing something with fiber too. He’s embroidering the cells of germs into hankies – the cell structure – or what the cells would look like under a microscope – of germs into vintage handkerchiefs,” Ottwell explained. “There’s a really wonderful thing about them, but also just kind of a funny thing about them. This is like an ongoing project he has when he can’t be in the ceramic studio.” “I’ve seen some images of them. I think they are really beautiful, and they make you think just looking at them,” she added. “Then when you find out they are the cell structure of germs. I sort of chuckled when I saw them. They are interesting.” Gary Olds, a weaver from O’Fallon, will also be featured. “He’s been experimenting with taking non-traditional weaving materials and bringing

June 12, 2014

them into the loom. He has some pieces where he’s woven human hair and wheat into his weaving. They are really beautiful and interesting,” Ottwell remarked. “He also does very traditional looking weaving, but he has a wonderful sense of color.” Ottwell said that Olds had been working with color and pattern and color shifting in his works. “His weavings hang on the wall and the colors shift from top to bottom,” she said. “They are subtle, but they are just spectacular.” One of the other artists will be Laura Blair from Alton who creates sculptures of landscapes made with recycled paper. “I find it really interesting she’s taking all this leftover paper and beating it and processing it to create sculptures in the landscape.. She’s definitely into recycling and everything else but the landscapes really remind you of rivers and valleys and then little peaks and hills,” Ottwell said. “She’s also bringing wool into those to highlight crevices that are just naturally occurring in the paper as she processes it.” The remaining artists that will be featured in “1000 Threads” include Nicole Benner, Stacy McAdams, Mary Margaret Sandbothe, Melissa McDonughBorden, and Tricia Johnson. Ottwell emphasized her primary goal in the exhibit was to choose very non-traditional artists. “So this is very nontraditional fiber work,” she said. “And I’m really excited about it.” The “1000 Threads” exhibit runs through July 11. The EAC is located in the southeastern corner of Edwardsville High School at 6165 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville. The EAC is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday through Tuesday.

Free admission is timed to coincide with this special exhibition, bringing transformational experiences with art to an even broader audience. “We are thrilled to be working with the Gateway Foundation to present both free admission and the Great Rivers Biennial,” said CAM Executive Director Lisa Melandri. “We invite the public to experience art at CAM all summer long—come see us any time, often, on us!” The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis is located at 3750 Washington Blvd in St. Louis.
