things we learned while putting this issue together

Feminist art work: According to a poster created by the Guerrila Girls — which will be on view at the Daniel Arts Center’s newest exhibit ‘F-Bomb’ — less than 4 percent of the artists shown in the Met’s Modern Artists sections are women, but 76 percent of the nudes are female.

The time is now: If you’re thinking that spring is the best time to sow grass seed, you’re wrong, according to garden columnist Thomas Christopher. He says that early fall is best because the seeds have all season to sow without the harsh weather of summer, creating less stress for the seeds.

A long-held tradition: Relive the 1880s this weekend in Lenox when the annual Tub Parade makes its way — in all its horse-drawn finery — down Main Street in Lenox. The tradition began as a way to mark the end of the summer season in style for Cottagers.

Feminist artists focus of new show

GREAT BARRINGTON — The F-bomb at the center of a new group exhibition at the Daniel Arts Center is not about the word you’re thinking of.

“F-BOMB,” which opens today in the Hillman-Jackson Gallery with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m., centers around another “dirty” word that starts with the letter F: feminism.

“I think it’s going to be a really nice offering of cutting edge work in Great Barrington,” curator Maura Reilly said during a recent phone interview.

The show’s contributors include nationally and internationally-known feminists artists including: Judy Chicago, Judith Bernstein, Carolee Schneemann, Catherine Opie, Ghada Amer, Deborah Kass, Richard Bell, Patricia Cronin, the Guerrilla Girls, Nayland Blake, Michele Pred, Wendy Red Star, fierce pussy, Tracey Moffatt, Pussy Galore, Cass Bird,

“Thank Christ I’m Not a Feminist,” by Richard Bell, is part of the new group exhibition, “F-BOMB,” at the Daniel Arts Center at Bard College at Simon’s Rock.

and more.

For Reilly, who recently joined Bard College at Simon’s Rock as its visiting faculty in art history and curatorial studies, it’s a subject that she’s more than familiar with. In fact, it’s her area of expertise. In addition to specializing in feminism/gender, LGBTQIA+, museum and curatorial studies, she was the founding curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. There, she launched the first exhibition and public programming space in the country devoted entirely to feminist art.

The artist included in the show, she said, are artist friends or artists she’s previously worked with — both men and women — who identify as feminists.

Art works in the show address a number of equality issues, especially the disparity of women artists represented by galleries and included in the permanent collections of major art institutions.

the works will be very easy to consume, while other works will be more radical.”

International artist Richard Bell, an Aboriginal artist from Australia who appropriates the work of pop artist Roy Lichenstein, has contributed the painting, “Thank Christ I’m Not a Feminist.”

“Lichenstein’s work is the quintessential representation of American domestication in the 1950s,” Reilly said.

Another, more subtle work, is Ghada Amer’s “Love Hurts, 2008,” a piece of embroidery on linen.

“Fabric and fiber art is very important to feminist artists. In the 1960s, there was a movement to reclaim

women’s crafts as high art,” Reilly said.

Catherine Opie’s photographic portraits of transgender individuals are a little more on the radical side, she said.

A video, “Starting Over,”

by Nayland Blake, an artist who uses the pronouns we/ they/them, features footage of the artist dressed in a white bunny suit, a symbol of sexual promiscuity. The suit is stuffed with 140 pounds of dried beans, equal to the weight of the artist’s former partner, Reilly said. Blake then performs a series of dance moves until becoming physically exhausted.

piece in the show, which will have to label, is a video by the artist Tracey Moffatt, ‘Love,’” Reilly said.

The video, a montage of love scenes, explores how Hollywood portrays heterosexual couples, beginning with romantic scenes between the couples, which then turn to violence, both physical and verbal, then to the women standing up for themselves and in some instances, seeking revenge.

“It’s a fascinating montage, that ends with women becoming empowered and fighting back. It makes you leave with your fist in the air and saying, ‘You go girl,’” she said.

In all, Reilly hopes the show will be eye opening for viewers, especially those not familiar with the artists being shown.

“It’s my hope they find one work in the show that makes them think and raises their awareness,” she said.

feminist activist artists who wear gorilla masks in public to remain anonymous and keep the focus on the facts they are presenting, will be represented by several of their canonical posters.

“We have one of the posters that says ‘Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? Less than 4 percent of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 76 percent of the nudes are female.’ and another, ‘The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist,’” Reilly said. “What [audiences] can expect to see, in addition [to work addressing equality issues], is work about three things: gender, sex and sexuality.

BE-A-BETTER GARDENER

Improving your lawn?

This is the season There’s a common misconception among home greenskeepers that spring is the best time of year to sow grass seed. That’s no surprise, because spring is when garden and home centers load the shelves with grass seed and “starter fertilizers.”

The fact is, though, that a late summer to early fall sowing is much more likely to be successful in this region of the United States. This time of year brings cooling temperatures Thomas Christopher and, typically, moderate rains that are ideal for the germination of the types of grasses grown in the Northeast.

In addition, whereas the seedlings of a spring sowing soon find themselves subjected to the stress of summer heat and drought, the grass that grows from an early fall sowing has all that season to grow and, after a dormant period in winter, spring too before it must confront its first summer. As a result, the grass from a fall sowing enters summer with deeper roots and more mature top growth and is far better equipped to cope with the inevitable stress.

Sowing new seed now is also one of the easiest ways to rejuvenate a lawn that is thin or weedy. For this, my favorite technique is what is called “overseeding.”

This involves working with the existing turf and reinforcing it with the addition of new seed. The best tool for this is an overseeder or slit-seeder, which can be rented by the day for a modest fee from almost any tool rental center. To use this, first cut the existing grass short, to a height of 2 inches or so and remove any clippings — this treatment ensures that the grass seed you sow into the lawn will get the exposure to sunlight it needs to germinate and grow. Then set the overseeder to the proper distribution rate for the type of seed you will be sowing, and then fill the hopper. Overseeders are typically self-propelled, pulling themselves along over the turf to cut parallel shallow grooves in the soil surface into which they sprinkle seeds. Generally it’s best to work in a criss-cross pattern, running the overseeder back and forth across

the whole lawn one way before turning the machine 90 degrees to cross the lawn back and forth the other; this promotes a more even, complete coverage, and prevents the grass seed from springing up in rows like a corn field. After the overseeding, make sure the lawn gets a brief moistening with sprinklers in both mornings and evenings until the grass seedlings pop up, at which point you should water more thoroughly but only a couple of times a week during rainless periods.

Overseeding thickens a lawn and fills in blank spots, helping to make the turf resistant to weeds, especially crabgrass, without the use of chemicals. It also enables you to address pest and disease problems by introducing resistant types of grass. For example, I once helped a client whose bluegrass lawn had been the target of chinch bugs by overseeding with a turf-type tall fescue seed that had been inoculated with endophytes. Endophytes are types of fungi that can inhabit certain types of grasses, principally fescues and perennial ryegrasses. The fungi feed on the grasses but in return make them resistant to most turf-eating insects as well as heat stress and some fungal diseases. In the case of my client’s lawn, I overseeded dry, west- and south-facing banks overlooking a swimming pool. The seedlings that emerged provided a thick turf that was untroubled by the chinch bugs the following year.

A correction: A few weeks ago, in the column I wrote about invasive earthworms, I passed along a recommendation to kill any “snakeworms” you might find in your garden by dropping them into a bucket of water. A reader has informed me that this doesn’t work. A number of more lethal liquids, such as bleach and rubbing alcohol, have been recommended. Personally, I think I would stick to the recipe of a friend who says she has used successfully a solution made by adding a couple of big squirts of dish soap to a 16-ounce container of water.

Another alternative is to apply a fertilizer containing tea seed meal, such as Early Bird Natural Organic Fertilizer 3-0-1, or Rhizo Aide 1-1-0 Fertilizer, both of which are available from golf course or professional landscape product suppliers.

Tea seed meal’s natural saponins, soaplike substances, affect the worms’ mucus coat, controlling the invaders quite effectively.

TUB PARADE

Go out for a Saturday drive tep back in time on Saturday as the Gilded Age comes alive with the Tub Parade in Lenox. Colonial Carriage and Driving Society reinvented this beautiful parade more than 27 years ago and is a staterecognized Gilded Age event. It’s a carefully crafted tribute to a bygone era of the horse and carriage that draws residents and visitors to the Lenox downtown.

S

The caravan of decorated horse drawn carriages traces its origins to the mid 1880s. The Lenox floral parade, as it was called back then, was a quintessential high-society event showcasing women and children in their finery at the close of the high season. The Tubs (an Irish expression of a horse drawn cart) were decorated with flowers and autumnal decorations from local gardens as participants competed for recognition.

The parade steps off at 1:30 p.m. in downtown Lenox.

After the event, which was considered the close of the summer season for Cottagers, a Tea & Talk at Ventfort Hall will be held at 3:30 p.m, where you can learn more about the history of the Tub Parade. Ventfort Hall board member and veteran Lenox Tub Parade participant Tjasa Sprague will present a talk on the story of this traditional event that dates back to the Gilded Age in the Berkshires. Her presentation will be followed by a Victorian tea. Ventfort Hall is located at 104 Walker St. in Lenox.

The Tea & Talk is $28 advance reservations, $32 day of event. For information or reservations, call Ventfort Hall at 413-637-3206 or visit info@gildedage.org.

For more information about the parade, visit Lenox.org or ColonialCarriage.org.
