The Past is Prologue

Senate seat, respectively. (It was a mediocre night for Palin-approved candidates in general, proving that Palin is a far better Fox News personality than she is a kingmaker.) And in Delaware, Christine O’Donnell was thumped by 17 percentage points in a race that easily could have been won by even a modestly qualified candidate. Tea Party candidates who triumphed will soon find the reality of Washington colliding with the dreams of their backers. Scott Brown, the junior senator from Massachusetts, was a Tea Party darling in February when he succeeded the late Ted Kennedy, but after several votes (particularly his support of Obama’s financial regulatory overhaul bill), Tea Party types began looking for another candidate for 2012.

Once elected, you become part of government — and your job is to make it work. Here’s a trifecta of reality checks for Tea Partiers: (1) You can’t take the politics out of politics; (2) politics is the art of compromise; and (3) once elected, you become part of government — and your job is to make it work. For their part, Democrats have no one to blame but themselves; they failed to grasp (and confront) the depth of voter unrest. They might take heart in looking to the 2006 midterm referendum. That year, a Gallup poll found “the American public’s mood is as negative as it has been in more than a decade,” and a POLITICO/ George Washington University Poll found 64 percent of likely voters thought the country was on the wrong track. The result? Democrats picked up 31 House seats. If the newly minted Republicans in the House fail to move beyond “Hell no” in order to fix America’s real problems, they may relive their worst nightmare of the 1990s: a Democratic president, wildly unpopular among the far right, cruising to re-election.

he past is often present in politics, and some political watchers saw parallels between last week’s midterm elections and the midterms of 1994. Back then, we had a Democratic president whose enthusiastic base had tempered its support as he tacked toward the middle once in office. His health care plan had divided Americans bitterly, mostly along party lines, and a resurgent GOP scored major victories at both the federal and state levels. Republicans gained 54 seats in the House and eight in the Senate in the 104th Congress, putting them in control of both chambers. Last Tuesday, Republicans gained more than 60 seats in the House, but fell short of taking the Senate. As in 1994, Republicans now find themselves in the position of the dog that caught the car: an impressive achievement, but one that raises the question, “What now?” Dismantling health care and extending the Bush tax cuts — which were designed to be temporary — sounds sweet to Tea Party devotees, but with Democrats in control of the White House and the Senate, those promises are illusory. In the next two years, the bigger issue is likely to be the economy. If it remains stalled and Americans continue to fear for their jobs, no one in public office will be safe. Moreover, running as the party of “Hell no” may be a winning electoral strategy, but it’s no way to govern. Republicans like Louisiana’s newly reelected U.S. Sen. David Vitter, who spent the election cycle largely running against President Barack Obama, will soon find themselves labeled obstructionists if they don’t figure out a way to work with the Obama White House. In 1995, emboldened Republicans — armed with what they saw as a mandate — promptly overplayed their hand, shutting down the federal government after failing to pass a budget bill. Voters put the lion’s share of the blame on the GOP and House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and in 1996 President Bill Clinton cruised to re-election. If the GOP doesn’t believe the past is prologue — and that history repeats itself for a reason — the party may be destined to learn another bitter lesson in 2010. Several prominent Tea Party-backed candidates won last Tuesday (Kentucky Sen.-elect Rand Paul, S.C. Gov.-elect Nikki Haley), but quite a few lost high-profile races. Sharron Angle, the embodiment of the Tea Party, lost the Nevada senatorial race to Democratic incumbent Harry Reid. Tom Tancredo and Carly Fiorina, two of Sarah Palin’s mostfavored candidates, lost their bids for the Colorado governorship and a California

Technically a boulevard is a broad thoroughfare, often having grass plots with trees along the center or between sidewalks and curbs, and the name sounds more so- phisticated than a street. When urban planners were designing the master plan for Audubon Park in the 1880s, they apparently preferred the grandeur of “boulevard” to “street” for the area that carried traffic along the park. Audubon Park originally was the site of the Foucher Plantation, built in the 18th cen Plans for New tury by Pierre Foucher. In 1871, the city purOrleans’ statue Gen.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“The frustration, I guess, with everybody that is in this room, everybody that is in this country, is the perception of what is really broken about the system. And I don’t think the 18 people that ran in this race — other than David Vitter — ran for any other reason other than we all believed we needed to replace the broken part that was representing Louisiana. That’s not sour grapes, that’s just honest.” — Rep. Charlie Melancon, conceding to newly re-elected Sen. David Vitter on the night of Nov. 2

Da Winnas & Da Loozas GAMBIT’S PERENNIAL POST-ELECTION ASSESSMENT OF THE ELECTORAL CARNAGE. BY CLANCY DUBOS

DA WINNAS 1. The Louisiana GOP

Louisiana finally joined the national political main-

stream this election season as Sen. David Vitter’s re-election campaign became a referendum on President Barack Obama — as were congressional and senatorial elections all across the country. That was great news for Vitter. His huge margin of victory (56.5 percent to 37.7 percent for Democrat Charlie Melancon) showed that Louisiana voters dislike Obama even more than they dislike “serious sins.” Now that Vitter’s scandals are behind him, look for him to retake his seat at the GOP grown-ups table, both in D.C. and in Louisiana. Elsewhere on the ballot, Republicans now hold six of seven statewide offices, thanks to Secretary of State Jay Dardenne’s convincing win over Democratic newcomer Caroline Fayard in the race to succeed Mitch Landrieu as lieutenant governor.

donated $200,000 to the Edible Schoolyard project, which integrates organic gardening into the curricula and cafeterias of four local schools by teaching kids how to plant gardens and cook their harvests. Presqu’ile (a Creole word for “almost an island”) is a California winery founded by the Murphy family, whose Gulf Coast gathering place of the same name was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina.

has donated $250,000 to the Gulf Relief Foundation, which supports ﬁshing communities and wetlands restoration in southeast Louisiana. The beneﬁciaries included the Community Center of St. Bernard, the St. Bernard Project, Bayou Grace Community Services and the Gulf Care Consortium. Money was raised through bottles of liquor sold, as well as through a Facebook donation initiative.

Greg Meffert,

former mayor Ray Nagin’s technology chief, pleaded guilty in federal court Nov. 2 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bribery and one count of ﬁling a false tax return. Meffert had been charged in a 63-count federal indictment, and as part of his plea admitted to steering millions in no-bid contracts to crony Mark St. Pierre. He faces eight years in federal prison and will be sentenced in February.

n Louisiana and elsewhere, 2010 was one of the meanest political seasons on record. Rancor ruled the day in statewide elections, and it was not a good time to be a Democrat — no matter how “conservative” you might be. The national Republican juggernaut, fueled by Tea Party fervor, was so strong that it even swept Louisiana into the national political mainstream. That’s saying something. Time now for our perennial political postmortem. Herewith our assessment of the electoral carnage, starting with …

Democrat Cedric Richmond (left) ousted Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao Nov. 2, and Republican David Vitter held on to his U.S. Senate seat.

Over the Halloween weekend before the Nov. 2 election, partisans emerged with some tricky rationalizations for voting for either incumbent Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao or challenger Cedric Richmond. Cheron Brylski, a paid political consultant to the Cao campaign, sent out an email blast to local reporters and Democrats pointing out, “All pundits agree that the U.S. House is lost to Republicans. Therefore in NOLA, it makes sense to keep Representative Joe Cao, who will have seniority and access to new House leadership to continue our recovery. …Therefore, if you are like me, a Democrat, it is important this time to vote for the Republican.” Why Democratic voters would want to contribute to the GOP sweep of the House was left unspecified. Meanwhile, the Washington D.C.-based Family Research Council (FRC), which had endorsed Cao in 2008, went after him with an ad that aired locally on WRNO-FM (“Rush Radio”). Cao’s sin in the eyes of the FRC? Despite a spotless pro-life voting record, the former Jesuit seminarian hadn’t managed

(Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, the only statewide elected Democrat, has to be feeling pretty nervous these days.) Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao lost his bid to hold onto his improbable seat in the U.S. House, but the numbers were always against him. Meanwhile, Republican Jeff Landry rolled to victory in the 3rd Congressional District, giving the GOP the seat currently held by Melancon. The Louisiana GOP had one distinct advantage over the national party, however: It was moving from a position of strength, having captured a modern record number of legislative seats and statewide offices in 2007 — as opposed to the thumping the national party took in 2008.

2. Jefferson Parish Business Leaders

Business folks in Jefferson set out months ago, through several civic and professional organizations, to sweep all incumbents off the parish school board. They didn’t succeed fully, but they did replace five of nine incumbents, which makes them the new force for reform in parish public schools. Business leaders also generally support new parish president John Young, whose popularity among voters convinced Councilman At-Large Tom Capella (who was set to run against Young for parish president) to seek the assessor’s job in April instead. In New Orleans, it was a good season for black Democrats, who took back the congressional seat held for the last two years by Republican U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao. The numbers tilted heavily in favor of Cao’s Democratic challenger, state Rep. Cedric Richmond, but Cao campaigned hard. In the end, Richmond made it look easy, winning 65 percent of the vote to Cao’s 33 percent. Elsewhere, Veronica Henry won a seat at First City Court and Candice Bates-Anderson captured a seat at Juvenile Court — both over strong white opponents.

4. Arnie Fielkow

The New Orleans at-large councilman made the NORD reform referendum a personal crusade, and its passage reflected as much on him as on the merits of the proposal. Fielkow is a true believer in the power of organized youth athletics and other NORD programs to transform lives of young people. He put every ounce of his political capital on the line in support of the proposition, and its overwhelming passage on Oct. 2 (with 74 percent of the vote) boosted his stock even higher. Of

5. State Lawmakers

Two of the constitutional amendments that voters approved this election season will give lawmakers some relief. Amendment 1 on Oct. 2 advances the starting date (and ending date) of annual legislative sessions, which will give lawmakers more time off in the summer to be with their families. Amendment 1 on the Nov. 2 ballot prohibits pay raises for public officials (including leges) during their current terms of office. Henceforth, any pay raises must take effect after the next round of elections. Lawmakers created a political firestorm when they voted themselves huge pay raises in 2008. This amendment gives them a fig leaf of political cover going into the 2011 elections — and a political placebo for voters, who would likely rise up again if anybody tries to broach the subject of pay raises. Which brings us to …

DA LOOZAS 1. Gov. Bobby Jindal

By not getting involved in statewide elections on behalf of fellow Republicans, the governor effectively forfeited the political game inside Louisiana — although he played hard in several other states, which only proves he has national ambitions. And when you forfeit, you lose. The governor’s absenteeism was called out by LSU’s student body president, who penned letters to the editor in states where Jindal was campaigning and fundraising. The letters went viral — and it represented one of the few instances of somebody successfully tagging Jindal. On another Jindal front, Jay Dardenne’s unexpectedly large margin of victory over Democratic newcomer Caroline Fayard takes the wind out of rumors that interim Lt. Gov. Scott Angelle — a Jindal favorite — changed parties in order to run for the No. 2 spot himself next fall on a Jindal ticket. Dardenne, in fact, set the high-water mark on Nov. 2, garnering 4,000 more votes than Sen. David Vitter. Speaking of Vitter, his landslide re-election shows that even wounded Republicans don’t need Bobby Jindal to win big in Louisiana — and not being needed is never a good thing for a governor going into an election year.

2. Louisiana Democrats

The state Democratic Party stands today in pretty much the same place

that the national Republican Party stood right after Barack Obama and the Democrats swept into power in 2008. As Obama put it last week, they got shellacked. Five years ago, Democrats held all but one of the seven statewide offices in Louisiana; today they hold just one. Next year, Republicans are poised to take control of the state House of Representatives and possibly the Senate, which would give the GOP control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction.

3. The Jefferson Parish Machine

No, the parish isn’t run by a welloiled political machine with a heavyhanded boss at the top, but collectively most incumbents comprise what voters see as a political machine — and they’re tired of it. New parish president John Young is hardly a fresh face, but he has honed his “outsider” and “reformer” image so effectively that most others in parish government look like members of Tammany Hall by comparison. Virtually every other member of the parish council and Sheriff Newell Normand wanted Tom Capella to become parish president after Aaron Broussard resigned in January, but Young’s popularity proved to be too much to overcome. In the parish school board elections, every incumbent faced an organized, well-financed challenger — and five of them won’t be coming back. Now it’s up to Young and the business community to show that outsiders can take the reins of government and make it work … which typically takes a lot of “insider” knowledge and political skill.

4. The Local NAACP

The NAACP is a great organization with a long tradition of civil rights advocacy, but its opposition to the NORD reform was politically off the mark. For starters, a citywide, biracial coalition drafted the model for the charter change, and the measure had acrossthe-board support from community organizations in all parts of town. Most puzzling was the NAACP’s claim that the proposal would “privatize” NORD. After Mayor Mitch Landrieu convinced the City Council to tweak the appointment process for the proposed recreation commission, all of the appointees will either be appointed by public officials or be public officials themselves. Moreover, the meetings of the commission and its fundraising foundation will be open to the public, and all commission members are subject to financial disclosure laws. The referendum passed with 74 percent of the vote — a true mandate for NORD.

to be gay-unfriendly enough for the FRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cao voted to use the military to advance the radical social agendas of homosexual activists and he voted for a so-called hate crimes bill that places your personal liberties at jeopardy,â&#x20AC;? the ad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop Joseph Cao on election day!â&#x20AC;? The rationale perplexed even fellow Republicans, including Sarah Roy, president of the Greater New Orleans Republicans, who said in a statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony Perkins and his organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s de facto endorsement of Cedric Richmond is one of the strangest political gambits in a state known for bizarre politics.â&#x20AC;?

Two Hundred days

As south Louisiana approached 200 days since the April 20 explosion at the site of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs for the monumental cleanup effort have reached $40 billion. Nonetheless, BP still saw a profit in its third quarter earnings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the oil giant earned $1.8 billion, a drop from $5.3 billion in 2009. CEO Robert Dudley isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried. While the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil production has slipped from 3.9 million barrels to 3.8 million, opportunities are out there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thanks to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifting of the Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling moratorium. Also, bills are en route to its partners at the Deepwater Horizon site, Anadarko Petroleum and Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., for their share in the cleanup costs. And that cleanup, assured on Day 197 by federal on-scene coordinator Rear Adm. Paul Zukunft, still has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very active response.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re closing in on the 200th day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still very much engaged very much at the local level,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the beginning of this spill, the entire Gulf of Mexico, from Panama City to Galveston, was an impacted area â&#x20AC;Ś whereas now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with pockets of heavy oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only about 30 miles of this 580 miles of shoreline has heavy recoverable oil in it, and the majority of this oil is light [and] in trace amounts.â&#x20AC;? In Louisiana, oil has worked its way several feet into the sand columns at Pelican Island, Grand Isle, Fourchon Beach and Grand Terre, and officials are testing to see how far down theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to clean. Cleanup crews have deployed 420 â&#x20AC;&#x153;sentinel snares,â&#x20AC;? crab trap-like devices attached to snare boom, to determine where and how much oil is out there. Zukunft said oil hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touched those booms since Sept. 20, but parish leaders are â&#x20AC;&#x153;satisfiedâ&#x20AC;? with their placement. The Vessels of Opportunity program (Louisiana remains the only state using it, with 280 participants) has been scaled back, and its participants now haul trash

bags of oil removed from barrier islands. Zukunft said the most recent data sampling found oil in concentrations of 1.5 parts per billion, but that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;data is still preliminary. It still needs to go through extensive analysis to determine concentrations of hydrocarbons.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alex Woodward

seafood TesTing Transparency

Federal on-scene coordinator Rear Adm. Paul Zukunft said last week that Gulf Coast oil disaster responders are working with Louisiana on a more aggressive marketing campaign to assure seafood safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly the most sampled seafood,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really dealing with product imaging right now.â&#x20AC;? Zukunft also said shrimp are deveined and deshelled before testing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though he is aware that regional cooks often purchase shrimp still in the shell and prepare them in-shell with veins intact. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only concern others have about seafood tests. Last month, environmental scientist Wilma Subra released the results from her sampling of eight residents and BP cleanup workers in Alabama and Florida. Those blood tests were positive for volatile solvents from crude oil in high concentrations. Subra charged that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) raised the acceptable levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in seafood. (Tests still do not look for dispersants.) In October, the FDA and NOAA announced their seafood tests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; going beyond sensory (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;sniffâ&#x20AC;?) tests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but found only 13 samples out of 1,735 contained any trace amounts of oil-based chemicals. But in June, the FDA and NOAA rewrote their guidelines. From the FDA outline: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new numbers were developed specifically for the unprecedented Deepwater Horizon Oil spill event and will not necessarily be applicable after all fisheries closed due to oil contamination are reopened for safe harvest. Levels of concern and other factors for any subsequent oil spill event would be independently evaluated based on case-specific information.â&#x20AC;? On Oct. 29, marine toxicologist Susan Shaw criticized the FDA and NOAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of transparency to the Los Angeles Times, and Al Jazeera published an investigation (â&#x20AC;&#x153;BP dispersants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;causing sicknessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?) revealing detailed accounts of several Gulf residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; medical conditions and symptoms similar to those of chemical poisoning, from rashes and nausea to colored discharges. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Woodward Hungry for more Scuttlebutt?

enough money to relocate and have time to explore his new home. In September 2009, Pajon moved into an apartment on Poland Avenue in the Bywater, bought a bike to get around, adopted a dog and focused on his own collage work. He now culls the city for old photos, tintypes, illustrated dictionaries and paper items, and he displayed some of his work at the now closed AMMO gallery in the French Quarter. After surviving his first summer of brutal New Orleans heat, he’s fully settled in his new home. “Everyone said I’d gain a lot of weight living here, like I’d be going to Croissant d’Or all the time,” he says, laughing. “I spent eight weeks this summer biking out to UNO in 95-degree heat to teach a class on etching.” Pajon will have his first major local show at the Louisiana State Museum’s Madame John’s Legacy during Prospect.1.5, which opened Saturday, Nov. 6. The group exhibition titled Fresh Off the Turnip Truck features accomplished but relatively young or early career artists who have moved to New Orleans to live and make art. Other artists include ex-New Yorker Jus-

ichael Pajon first started working in New Orleans as an assistant to Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago-based artist who has been a longtime fan of the Crescent City and was invited to participate in Prospect.1. In the year before the international art biennial opened in November 2008, the two visited the city often and combed through antique and vintage thrift shops for old paper for Fitzpatrick to incorporate in his collages of found materials, drawing and written aphorisms and observations. “We were looking for matchbooks, prayer cards, anything in old paper lots,” Pajon says. “Once people knew that we were looking for that, they called us. Sometimes they’d want $10 for something, and I’d be like, ‘Doesn’t that say $1 on it?’ But we just paid the $10. We thought we were helping (the city rebuild).” In spite of the tourist treatment, Pajon was seduced by the city. By the end of Prospect.1, he told Fitzpatrick we was going to move to New Orleans. After more than five years working with Fitzpatrick, who initially hired him to assist with printmaking, Pajon gave him a year’s notice and set out to save

tin Faunce, a painstakingly precise painter of large canvases exploding with manipulated pop-cultural images. Ryan Watkins-Hughes is a photographer and web designer who enrolled in an MFA program at Tulane University so he could move to New Orleans. The former New Yorker has created two video installations at Madame John’s. Taken together, it’s what Louisiana State Museum director Sam Rykels proudly dubs “brain gain.” “New Orleans’ oldest house and newest artists,” Rykels says, summing up his interest in seeing the state museum’s historic properties incorporate contemporary art and culture exhibits and programming. DURING PROSPECT.1.5, MORE than 50 artists will be featured in shows opening between Nov. 6 and Dec. 29 at venues including Madame John’s Legacy, Delgado Community College’s Isaac Delgado Fine Art Gallery, the Mahalia Jackson Center in Central City and galleries around town. Different in concept and smaller in scale than 2008’s Prospect.1 — which featured the work of international artists — it focuses heavily on the New Orleans art scene and building relationships. “I think we’ll develop good will in the community,” says Dan Cameron, Prospect’s founder and director. “It’s New Orleans-driven content.” Prospect.1.5 was not part of Cameron’s original plan for Prospect New Orleans. While Prospect.1 was a critical success, issues with fundraising and organization caused a delay in the rollout of Prospect.2, which is now scheduled to open in November 2011. To maintain continuity, Cameron created Prospect.1.5, a smaller-scale citywide event with a budget of less than $15,000. Instead

of Prospect.1’s heavy use of major museum spaces and installations spread around the city (particularly the Lower 9th Ward), many shows are at local galleries, with some changing exhibits monthly. By creating alternating series of shows — international art biennials on whole numbers, New Orleans-focused shows on “.5” years — Cameron hopes to improve Prospect’s local recognition and brand November through January as a contemporary art season. He also hopes the local focus will encourage artists who live here, attract collectors to new work, and build the local art community’s links to the international contemporary art world that discovered or rediscovered New Orleans during Prospect.1. AS AN INTERNATIONAL ART biennial, Prospect.1 was a critical success, garnering a long feature in ArtForum magazine and raves from critics like The New Yorker’s Peter Schjeldahl. It drew visitors from around the world, and on-site surveys reported that more than 93 percent of respondents said they would return to New Orleans and would recommend Prospect New Orleans to a friend. A study funded by the Getty Foundation calculated the event’s economic impact at $23 million, with $14 million in visitor spending, including $1.25 million paid in city and state sales taxes. “We opened in one of the worst recessions,” Cameron says. “Considering how many people canceled discretionary travel and the impact that had on our numbers, we did fantastic.” On the balance sheet, however, Prospect.1 spent roughly $1 million more than it raised. As Prospect.1 closed, its board of directors set out to retire that debt. Early in 2010, differences arose between

funding a New Orleans biennial by raising 80 percent of funds outside of Louisiana. As shows open this week for Prospect.1.5, he’s also preparing for an art auction in New York on Nov. 19, at which he hopes to raise $1 million for Prospect.2. He also needs to raise 20 percent of Prospect.2 funds in the New Orleans region. “We need harmony for this to succeed in the long run,” he says. “We can’t be perceived as outsiders. We need to make sure people in New Orleans feel this is part of their city to invest their time, efforts and resources.”

Cameron and the board of directors about fundraising, creating a budget for Prospect.2, organization, and the way Prospect straddles New Orleans and New York, where Cameron incorporated U.S. Biennial Inc., the nonprofit that produces Prospect. While Cameron bought a home in Treme in 2007, he still works internationally, most recently curating a biennial in Kwangju, South Korea, in August. And Prospect relies on New York resources, such as a marketing and public relations firm that has a specialized niche in international art world media. At a board meeting two days after the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, board members and Cameron disagreed on key issues, according to both Cameron and former Prospect director Barbara Motley. The majority of the board resigned en masse. Cameron assembled a new board and began planning for Prospect.2. This time, Cameron must juggle the awkward balance of

Orleans artist?” Rashaad Newsome was one name that came to mind. Newsome was born in New Orleans, grew up in St. Charles Parish and attended Tulane. His work has been included in a few group shows locally, at the Contemporary Arts Center and Zeitgeist-Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center, but he moved to New York for its multitude of resources. Newsome arranges performance art events, which he then films and presents as video. In the 2010 Whitney Biennial in New York, he presented a video he made by filming voguing, the beauty pageant/fashion runway events of societies of New York crossdressers. He filmed a special voguing event, then isolated aspects of fashion, performance and dance and edited the video to develop themes. “I took movement from the original piece and reframed it,” he says. “It’s taking a new approach to choreography through post-production.” “There isn’t infrastructure to support work like that (in New Orleans), unless you’re a painter or sculptor,” he says. “In New York, there’s more residencies, opportunities and grants — so many things for artists to take advantage of.” For Prospect.1.5, Newsome’s video creation Shade Compositions will be at Good Children Gallery. Newsome

created a sort of human orchestra with 21 African-American women performing culturally specific remarks and gestures that he conducted in person and then edited on video, creating a rhythm out of the repeated phrases. “We’ve reached a point where (art) insiders know (Newsome’s) work,” Cameron says. “We want New Orleanians to have the same recognition.” Newsome is not the only former New Orleanian in the show. Maximilian Toth is a painter who was born in New Orleans and now lives in Connecticut. Tameka Norris grew up in Gulfport and Pass Christian, Miss., and has family in New Orleans. She moved to California in her late teens and eventually entered art school. She’s represented by CB1 Gallery in Los Angeles and at 31 just started an MFA program at Yale, which gives her a few more years to decide whether she’ll pursue her career in an art capital like Los Angeles, or try to do so from her former home. “I have a romantic image of simplicity,” she says. “I want to grow my own food, just eat and make art.” Her show at Good Children Gallery will be her first in the region, and she plans to visit family in the city in December and attend the exhibit. She’s also trying to set up art work-

Faunce chooses to live ascetically rather than spend time at any sort of regular job. For other artists, the trade-offs are different. WatkinsHughes moved to New Orleans after a decade in New York. He works professionally as a designer and teaches at Tulane while pursuing a degree, which allows him access to benefits like health care. And he is in a different phase of his career. “When I was younger, being surrounded by other creative people in terms of sheer numbers and the way New York is Post-Katrina Self Portraits, overtly competitive — I Tameka Norris used to enjoy that,” he says. “As you get older, you get more focused to succeed (without buyers). on your own work. … At “I am a curator, I am an educathat point, the lower rent and friendlier community aspects, tor,” Cameron adds. “I’m conwhich might seem quaint if you fident saying there’s a big gap were in that cutthroat New York between the adventurousness mentality — you’re like, ‘Holy of art made here and art colshit.

SINCE HURRICANE KATRINA — AND GREATLY enabled by Prospect.1 venues at the Colton School and former Universal Furniture — the St. Claude Avenue corridor has developed a cluster of newer galleries, generally featuring young artists. Watkins-Hughes noticed the growth in the local gallery scene. “I think galleries on St. Claude do a great job of showing what they want to show,” he says. “They’re comparable to their peers in Brooklyn.” He sees Julia Street’s more established galleries as similar to New York’s commercial gallery district in Chelsea, but less adventurous. “There’s a limited number of a certain type of collector (here),” he says. “It’s not uncommon for a Julia Street gallery to put on a challenging, forward-thinking, progressive show. But then the following month, they’re balancing the books by doing something more tried and true, a nice classic collection of paintings. Not to say that those paintings of flowers aren’t quite lovely, but you see them doing that balancing act.” Development and addition of new galleries should allow for stratification and specialization, Watkins-Hughes says, so there will be room for galleries known for new and established artists, conservative and experimental works, traditional and new media. Roger is quick to point out that there are down-

sides to the New York art world as well, particularly the prices. “There’s a joke that if two people are in line to buy a piece in New York, it was undervalued,” he says. The New York stamp of approval may make some buyers feel more comfortable with what they paid, he adds. “Why is it that if a person comes to New Orleans and buys a piece of art, he’s a tourist?” Roger asks. “But if someone flies to New York to buy art, they’re a ‘collector’?” The prospect of a growing art scene is good on a number of fronts, including for artists who can choose to live and work here rather than cycling through an art capital. And that can make the city as attractive to collectors as tourists. “New Orleans has always had the artists,” Roger says. “What’s changed is that artists are staying here and being sold here and (art is) staying here. Art being bought here was being shipped everywhere. Ida Kohlmeyer pieces were shipped everywhere.” For young artists, the sense of opportunity is palpable. “There’s kind of a creative flourish going on right now,” says Pajon as he finishes installing his works at Madame John’s. “It’s exciting to be a part of it. There are empty spaces to fill. It’s kind of like a canvas: There’s something there already, but there’s fresh attention. All sorts of people are coming here to repopulate and rebuild.”

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > NOVEMBER 09 > 2010

message that “Southern art didn’t end in 1950.” “There’s more than all those landscapes,” he says. Roger’s gallery features well-known contemporary artists including Douglas Bourgeois, Lin Emory and Willie Birch, and it has established enough of a reputation to do experimental shows. “We can do a crazy show,” Roger says. “But we’re doing well because we invested well in the past.” His is one of many local galleries participating in Prospect.1.5, including Julia Street neighbors Heriard-Cimino, Jonathan Ferrara, M. Francis and LeMieux galleries. Also participating are Octavia Gallery in Uptown and Good Children Gallery on St. Claude Avenue. Cameron has curated those shows, matching appropriate artists and venues. Roger recently added a video room to his gallery, and during Prospect.1.5, the Austin, Texas, group Okay Mountain will present a video installation. While Roger is not certain how video will fit into the art world, he sees the current trend and notes that many video artists support their work by selling photography and more conventional pieces. “I have always said follow the art and not the collectors,” he says. He may suffer a loss on investing in the video space of his gallery, he says, but it’s part of the art world he wants to be able to engage and present at his gallery. He notes that there’s already been a video biennial at SITE Santa Fe. “[Video] isn’t new, but it’s more accessible,” he says.

r. Ken Morgan of Ken Morgan DDS Family Dentistry (3100 Kingman St., Metairie, 780-7006; www.neworleansminiimplants.com) began his career with a stint as a dental assistant in the National Guard. That motivated him to earn his doctorate in dental surgery at the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Dentistry. Nearly 10 years later, the native New Orleanian opened his Metairie practice, where he enjoys relationships with long-term patients, some of whom he’s known since childhood. “We get to interact with our patients more like friends and family,” Morgan says. “I have friends in other fields who work in the hospital setting, and they do not get this nice benefit of familiarity.” For Morgan’s patients, familiarity breeds strong social bonds — and strong teeth. His key advice for maintaining dental health is to frequent his office. “Visiting a dentist frequently, at least twice a year, gives you the opportunity to have your teeth cleaned professionally,” he says. “Clinical exams and X-rays allow for moniDr. Ken Morgan’s dental practice offers services ranging from root toring of issues that may go undetected by the patient.” canals to dental implants. Invisible braces have gained popularity, and teeth whitening has become a mainstream cosmetic procedure, but Morgan considers dental implantation the most exciting recent advancement in dentistry. This minimally invasive surgery involves installing a titanium post (which acts like a root to secure dentures or replace a tooth) in the jawbone. The procedure takes less than two hours, and recovery is short because the gum tissue doesn’t have to be cut open. “You can have a new permanent tooth without … having to grind down the healthy enamel of other teeth,” Morgan says. While implant surgery is the focus of his practice, Morgan stays abreast of various areas of dentistry and provides a comprehensive range of procedures. “I don’t like having to refer my patients to other offices once they become comfortable here, so I try to keep myself educated and involved in the many different specialties in the field,” he says. Morgan performs root canals, wisdom teeth removal and gum therapy, as well as other services that often would require a referral to another doctor. “I like being able to give people something they don’t have when they come in — whether it be their smile, their ability to chew, or a restoration of their confidence in public — to simply be comfortable again,” he says.

Bring fur garments in any condition to BUFFALO EXCHANGE (3312 Magazine St., 891-7443; www.buffaloexchange.com) during its Coats for Cubs fur drive, which begins Saturday, Nov. 13, and lasts until April.

OAK STREET MERCHANTS CELEBRATE THE PO-BOY. BY IAN MCNULTY he debate about just what constitutes a perfect po-boy will go on for as long as New Orleanians love eating them. This weekend, however, the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival (formerly the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival) will throw a lot more fuel on the fire. The event is held along seven blocks of the historic Oak Street commercial corridor and features po-boys from 36 vendors, which run the gamut from traditional po-boy shops to high-end contemporary restaurants. While classic po-boys are well represented, many vendors will serve festival-inspired creations that don’t appear on their regular menus — or anyone else’s for that matter. GW Fins will make po-boys of fried Maine lobster tossed in Crystal hot sauce, and the pork cheek confit po-boy from Emeril’s Delmonico and the pork belly and pepper jelly po-boy from Mahony’s Po-Boy Shop may be in a race for the richest sandwiches in the field. “I think this all speaks to the versatility of the po-boy, that you can do all this with it,” says festival organizer Hank Staples, who owns the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street. “Even people who don’t normally do po-boys at their restaurants wanted to get into it and see what they could come up with.” The event has proved particularly appealing to

festival crowds as well. The inaugural edition in 2007 was an instant hit, attracting an estimated 10,000 people, and by 2009 the head count was up to 30,000. Such numbers led to severe congestion around the vending booths, but a proposed solution by festival managers to move the whole event to the open space of nearby Palmer Park sparked controversy. The upshot is that the event is now run by a newly formed group called Oak Street Merchants, Residents and Property Owners. The new organizers changed the festival name, discarded its former “Save Our Sandwich” motto and are planning a number of logistical changes to reduce crowding this year. You’ll find po-boy booths down Oak’s side streets, for instance, creating outdoor food courts off the main drag. In addition to bands performing on three stages — including headliners Jon Cleary, the Rebirth Brass Band and the Radiators — you’ll also find a number of acoustic acts and piano players performing in what Staples calls “secret gardens” located in neighbors’ yards just off Oak. To reduce parking pressure in the historic neighborhood, organizers encourage people to ride bicycles to the festival, and they are providing a huge “bike corral” to secure them. Given all the eating this event promises, expending a little pedal power en route sounds like a good idea.

Le Petit Theatre juggles two musicals into a second week. Soul Doctor: The Shlomo Musical (pictured) features Broadway veterans and is expected to open in New York in 2011. It tells the story of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, the father of Jewish contemporary music who had escaped World War II Germany and later emerged in San Francisco’s folk music scene, befriending then little-known Nina Simone. Also running is Forbidden Broadway, a local production of the Off-Broadway hit satirizing the Great White Way’s biggest hits and stars.

Harping On JOANNA NEWSOM’S HAVE ONE ON ME eave it to Joanna Newsom to relate music criticism better than any music critic. “It’s really hard to communicate about music,” she says. “You’re describing what you want, and using these adjectives that don’t really describe anything concrete. They’re feelings, and you’re kind of trusting that the other person sees the same thing you see when you see the color red.” Newsom isn’t talking about writing per se — she’s describing the creative chemistry she shares with multi-instrumentalist Ryan Francesconi, her song arranger and touring companion — yet she is talking about writing. Everything the Californiaborn singer/harpist says and does points to a master’s grasp of the art of composition. In February, Newsom released her third LP, Have One on Me (Drag City), an elaborate, 18-track song cycle that reveals its melodic and lyrical themes slowly, over two hours and three sides. An answer to 2006’s divisive Ys — itself a five-track, 55-minute epic, further aggrandized by Van Dyke Parks’ string arrangements — the overwhelming triptych should collapse under its own weight. Instead, in a feat of recording engineering, its pieces work both as striking freestanding designs and as part of an intricate whole. Newsom didn’t set out to best her previous record. “Initially at least,” she says. “I was just writing songs. And I reached a point where I technically had enough material to be a single album, and it started to register that I didn’t feel done; the album felt incomplete, so I continued to write. I guess I was, in the back of my head, reserving the possibility of these songs being on more than one record, that I was writing more than one album at once. At some point I realized that wasn’t the case.” At once bigger and more scaled back, Have One on Me is Newsom’s sweet spot, a synthesis of the simple brilliance of the harp-plucked miniatures on 2003 debut The Milk-Eyed Mender and the sprawling medieval fairy tales on Ys. “It’s been different so far on all three records,” she says. “When I first started, it was always

lyrics first. On (Ys) Folk musician it was arranged Joanna Newsom has instrumentation a reﬁned touch on compostion. first: I was writing instrumental lines in a more composed way. For this record, the way that I’ve written is like sketching, and then slowly painting layers upon layers over the sketch, partially because I decided to write a lot of the songs initially on piano, which is not my instrument. I wanted to try writing on an instrument I had limitations on. As such, I was focusing not on the embellishment, not on the athleticism of a line, but on the chordal structure — the bones of the song.” That the first platter belongs among the finest folk/pop offerings of the year is evident long before you fully realize the endless reasons why: the spindly, spidery instrumentation on the title track invoking its “daddy long legs” arachnid lyric, or that song’s main harp refrain reincarnated as a piano ballad for “Soft as Chalk,” the opener to disc three. “Each section in that song had a character, a different spirit or a different mood or a different setting,” Newsom explains in typically vivid detail. “Here’s the gold rush saloon: People are gambling in this moment. Here’s the tarantella moment, and this is the dancing moment, and this is the moment where she’s flinging tarantulas off her body. The instrumentation has a really close, tight relationship with the lyrics.”

preview Collective Bargain PHOTO BY MEGAN TROSCLAIR

It wasn’t so long ago that New Orleans was regarded as an above-ground graveyard for pop and rock bands, who too often ﬁzzled before ﬁnding an audience or caught the Louis Armstrong train out of town in search of greener pastures. Today, in a trend that mimics the startup businesses cropping up like new spring growth on every corner, it’s an incubator. Organizational efforts in the inherently aloof realm of independent music may seem a Sisyphean enterprise, yet the New Orleans Indie Rock (NOIR) Collective has managed to make two new-music showcases into annual events: Foburg, a Frenchmen Street takeover that debuted in March with more than 80 native and visiting artists on the rise, and NOIR Fest, which focuses on a few nascent area bands lined up on the runway. This fourth iteration spotlights eight acts over three days, with Shreveport glam-dance transplants Jean-Eric (pictured) and Lafayette Givers-spawn Royal Teeth opening the ceremonies at Saturn Bar on Thursday; local rockers Sun Hotel, Vox and the Hound and Smiley With a Knife playing Blue Nile on Friday; and next-wave pop toddlers Empress Hotel, King Rey and Big History anchoring the relay at One Eyed Jacks on Saturday. Opening and closing parties at the Saint (on Wednesday and Saturday) bookend the bookings. Tickets $7 nightly, $11 weekend pass. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

The Wife of Riley It’s no Pretty Woman, but there’s always a bit of suspended disbelief necessary when Hollywood makes a film about a well-meaning man trying to rescue a prostitute who is down on her luck or just trying to pay her bills. In the case of Welcome to the Rileys, great work by James Gandolfini (The Sopranos), Melissa Leo (Treme) and Kristen Stewart (Twilight) make it solidly entertaining. And director Jake Scott does a great job of setting most of the the film in New Orleans without making the city into a character or distraction. There’s only one roving second-line marching through a brief scene, and the only bad accent is the Midwestern twang Gandolfini occasionally overplays. Doug Riley (Gandolfini) and wife Lois (Leo) have slipped into a lifeless marriage in suburban Indianapolis after the death of their teenage daughter. Doug travels to New Orleans on a business trip, and in his boredom and loneliness finds himself in a strip club — and kudos to Scott for having him pass by Bourbon Street addresses for the grittier Iberville clubs, where he meets underage stripper Mallory (Stewart). Her life and outlook are sufficiently rough and crass to give the film a dark edge in dialogue and tension. Doug’s attempts to reach out to her hit a decent balance of improbability and originality, given how heavy-handed the story is about him seeing her as a surrogate daughter. But he throws enough money her way to make her trust of a weird middle-aged man (who’s apparently not trying to have sex with her) at the very least a good business arrangement. It’s all a strange and sweet moment discovered by two people struggling at particular points in their lives, until Lois reminds Doug he has a family and issues to deal with closer to home. Gandolfini is excellent as the resolute but not outwardly emotional Doug. Stewart again finds herself surrounded by blood-sucking suitors, and she handles the foul-mouthed and reckless Mallory well. Leo is again compelling as a mystified wife trying to recover a husband sold on a soulsaving mission in New Orleans. — Will Coviello

Hooked on Classics It’s really just the two of them. Performance and multimedia artists Tony Campbell and Matt Vis have long appeared under their Generic Art Solutions (G.A.S.) imprimatur, but only in recent times have they seemingly multiplied in number. For instance, they once cast themselves in a photomontage like a locally set post-Katrina version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, with beer-chugging disciples at a spread of boiled seafood next to a trailer. In Border Patrol, they portray illegal aliens confronted by rifle-pointing troops (also themselves) in a remake of Edouard Manet’s Execution of Emperor Maximilian. But their most spectacular effort is The Raft (pictured), a 16-foot long photomontage version of Theodore Gericault’s Raft of the Medusa printed on billboard paper. Inspired by the BP oil disaster and the workers killed or set adrift in the Gulf, it’s a lot like the 19th century original peopled by modern oil rig workers — themselves again — thanks to Campbell’s persuasive use of Photoshop. Surrounding it in the gallery are photographs of empty sea and sky, and here their stark minimalism provides counterpoint to the overwrought scene on the raft. Nearby is their photographic remake of Francis Bacon’s painting based on Drego Velazquez’ portrait of Pope Innocent X, only theirs is closer to the original, with a convict in an electric chair in place of Pope Innocent on his throne. Other pieces employing alternative media include Double Agents, a silkscreen on stainless steel with Vis and Campbell as M-16-wielding paramilitaries rather like Blackwater mercenaries, or escapees from a James Bond thriller. A video of Campbell as a fashionable diner served by Vis as a nihilist waiter recalls classical European art cinema gone slapstick: As Vis hands Campbell the bill, he yanks the tablecloth from under the dishes, sending them crashing everywhere. This too is a comment on careless corporations and the messes they make in pursuit of profits, damage for which they appear increasingly confident that they will never really have to pay in full. — D. Eric Bookhardt

Teatro Wego, 177 Sala Ave., Westwego, 885-2000; www.jpas.org — The JPAS Theatre

Lonnie Elder’s Ceremonies in Dark Old Men, which recently received a rousing production at the Anthony Bean Community Theater, is a realistic drama about an African-American family in the 1960s, but it deﬁes easy interpretation. The entire play takes place in a Harlem barbershop where Russell Parker (Harold X. Evans), the owner, plays regular games of checkers with his friend Jenkins (Alfred Aubrey) and passes the time with his sons. He is as pitiful at making money as he is at playing checkers, and his daughter Adele (Samantha Beaulieu) supports him and sons Theo (Damany Cormier) and Bobby (Darryl Lutcher). She’s tired of the arrangement and gives them an ultimatum to get jobs before she throws them out. Russell, Theo and Bobby are caught between humiliations. Adele supports them just like they were supported by Russell’s wife, whom we are repeatedly told “worked herself to death.” On the other hand, they don’t want the low-paying, dead-end jobs available to black men. There’s plenty of tension, but there also are light moments in the script. I particularly enjoyed some scenes between the father and his sons. Evans created a complex, engaging Parker, who is hapless but well-meaning. The Parker sons don’t lack skill or ambition. Bobby is a talented thief and shoplifter. Theo’s claims to fame have taken many forms, all quickly abandoned, until he discovers a talent for brewing corn liquor, which his father ends up enjoying too much. The story takes a turn with the entrance of Blue Haven (Anthony Bean), wearing a suit, tie and sunglasses. Theo has been bragging that Blue will set them up in business. Blue talks about his “association,” which is dedicated to reclaiming Harlem from white control. But is he a revolutionary or a racketeer? The Parkers go into business making bootleg liquor, and Blue distributes it to local after-hours joints. But the success of the illicit business has a brutal side that also creates strife in the family. Blue reveals a menacing streak simmering beneath his calm surface. Ceremonies in Dark Old Men presents no easy answers. Anthony Bean’s direction and acting were top-notch as was John Grimsley’s set and lighting. — Dalt Wonk

Most entrees at Roux are under $20, and the menu includes pecan-crusted drum with crabmeat relish and chicken Tchoupitoulas with green peppercorn sauce.

and fat po-boys. But I’m happiest with the less common dishes. For instance, there is an alligator appetizer actually worth ordering, especially if you get it blackened. You can order calamari the same way, and each makes the case for replacing fry batter with crusty blackening seasonings. Blackened also is the way I prefer finfish at Harbor, whether it’s redfish, amberjack, cobia or something else. And even if the presentation is plain (most entrees automatically get a side of butter-soaked home fries and boiled corn), you can count on a generous slab of fresh fish. A little more effort to spruce up sauces and sides would really make the entrees stand out, but that’s not really in the neighborhood style this place embodies so comfortably. Listen to the dining room cacophony for a moment and you’ll hear unmistakable New Orleans accents calling out for stuffed artichokes or more sherry for the turtle soup or another pitcher of Abita Amber. This is the type of authentic seafood joint locals know by heart and visitors dream of finding. If Harbor was in the French Quarter, management would need a velvet rope for crowd control, and if it was nestled somewhere Uptown, visiting foodies would flock to its door. Instead, it sits along one of the area’s least romantic streets and directly beneath the airport’s flight path. That’s fine, because this actually positions Harbor nicely for a last taste of home before flying off somewhere, or a first taste on the way back.

2007 Skouras Megas Oenos

nemea, greeCe / $26-$27 RETAIL

Greece is just coming into its own with forwardthinking producers like George Skouras, who pioneered blending native grapes like Agiorgitiko (aka St. George) with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon. This 80/20 highly extracted blend was fermented in stainless steel, aged for 18 months in French barriques and another six months in the bottle. The wine exudes aromas of dark berries, smoky, earthy undertones, hints of leather and some spice. On the palate, blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors mingle with oak and herbal notes, black pepper and firm tannins leading to a long finish. Drink it with moussaka, osso buco, barbecue, grilled or roasted meats and wild game. Buy it at: Cork & Bottle and Swirl. Drink it at: Dominique’s on Magazine. —Brenda Maitland

hanks to its proximity to the airport in Kenner, the seafood market Fisherman’s Cove does a brisk business packing crabmeat, shrimp and other locally harvested delights for travel. At the restaurant next door, Harbor Seafood & Oyster Bar, people pack quite a bit of the same stuff into their bellies. Fisherman’s Cove and Harbor Seafood share a roof and an owner, and for more than 20 years they’ve been proving what such a cozy relationship can do. It must be convenient for a restaurant to have its most important supplier on the other side of the paneled wall, and in Harbor’s narrow, always bustling dining room, this translates into uncommon abundance. It’s not just that the portions are large here, it’s also the variety. On any given night you might find six different finfish. There are five seafood soups, and most of the salads principally serve as backdrops for still more shrimp or tuna. Waitresses heave steaming trays of boiled shrimp, and by the end of November they’ll likely begin serving some of the season’s earliest crawfish, too. At the far end of the bar, an oyster shucker is kept too busy for much chat. Cheap oysters have long been a hallmark of Harbor, and it wasn’t too long ago you could get a dozen for less than $4 here. In these post-oil spill days, however, the dozen I had for $8 in late October still seemed like a bargain. Harbor does the expected local standards well, including fried seafood platters

Beyond Harbor Seafood’s unassuming facade is a bounty of local seafood.
