“When we decided to list our place and start looking for a new home, I asked a friend who had moved a few times if she could recommend a Realtor. She gave us Ruthie’s name. We are so glad she did. We had so much fun working with Ruthie. She knows the business and the area well.

She made a stressful time a lot less stressful. When our place sold and we found our dream home, I was kind of sad because I knew we wouldn’t be talking with Ruthie as much. We highly recommend her.

Just watch out if she sees, or thinks she sees, a snake in the yard!”

Theater Avenue Q

Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 7-9, 13-16, Th/F/Sa/M 7:30pm, Su 2pm Ames Center, Burnsville Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Smart, book by Jeff Whitty, directed by Richard William Kopf.

How do you get to Avenue Q? And what do you do once you get there?

This particular street populated by puppets is no neighborhood for kids, but rather a place to learn about the struggles of adulthood – hilariously – through songs like Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist and There’s Life Outside Your Apartment. This Tony Award-winning Broadway smash hit, co-created

by Robert Lopez (also co-creator of The Book of Mormon and composer of the songs in Frozen), is a breakthrough mix of puppetry, satire and earnest life lessons that is definitely NOT for the whole family. Tickets available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com.

The Philadelphia Story

Sept. 30-Oct. 2, Oct. 7-9, F/Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm Northfield Arts Guild Theater On the eve of heiress Tracy Lord’s second marriage, a steady stream of visitors, including her ex-husband and paparazzi, create a most unwelcome guest list. With manners running high, and expectations low, the big question is whether Tracy will make it to the altar at all. In our era of tabloid journalism and growing class-consciousness, Philip Barry’s classic romantic comedy is as potent and incisive as ever. The Philadelphia Story is a fascinating peek into the mixed-up lives of the rich and famous who seemingly “have it all.” Tickets: $17 adults, $12 seniors/students, available at northfieldartsguild.org, 507/645-8877 or at the Northfield Arts Guild office.

Ball: A Musical Tribute to My Lost Testicle

Oct. 1, 7:30pm, Kelsey Theater, St. Olaf, Northfield Actor and playwright Max Wojtanowicz will tour his critically acclaimed original musical. When Rice, MN native and 2006 St. Olaf graduate Max Wojtanowicz was diagnosed with stage three testicular cancer in January 2006, a friend told him to “conquer it, and then sing about it.” He accepted that challenge. Through storytelling and original songs about chemotherapy, community and courage, Ball is a show about laughing (and singing) in the face of darkness when life throws you a curve...ball. Wojtanowicz’s first solo performance effort is his fourth original musical with director Nikki Swoboda, in collaboration with composers Michael Gruber, Jason Hansen and Andrew Cooke. Jerry Rubino will join Wojtanowicz at the piano. The show, hailed as “charming, witty, moving and thoroughly enjoyable” by the Star Tribune, was premiered at the 2016 Minnesota Fringe Festival. It was met with critical acclaim and sold-out houses, ultimately becoming the second-best-selling show of 168 in the festival. A talkback with the creative team and members of the theater faculty will follow the performance. Admission is free.

Specially adapted from the classic Disney animated film, this show features a host of colorful characters and favorite songs from the movie. Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, a human boy named Mowgli and his panther friend, Bagheera, are on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle. The two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’ musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle. Tickets: $10 adults, $5 children under 12, available at the door.

With glam rock, cross-dressing, elaborate choreography and a warped sense of humor, the audience is encouraged – ”don’t dream it, be it.” The score includes favorites like The Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite and Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me.

Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater Performance

Oct. 29, 7:30pm Wagner Bundgaard Studio One, Dittmann Center, St. Olaf, Northfield The internationally recognized Twin Cities-based dance and theater company performs Bohemian Grove and excerpts from Matinee, a piece that will premiere at The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis in February 2017. Bohemian Grove, taking its title from a campground in Northern California where leaders of wealth and power from around the world have gathered for more than 100 years, is a montage of statuesque movement, animal imagery and probing monologues that provide a searing glimpse into the world of the “superclass.” The company’s newest work, Matinee, is a cinematic world of movement-theatre imagery that features a spirited young woman on a train, a man at a threadbare bar and a disillusioned housewife with a penchant for old films that journey into the delicate divide between fantasy and reality. Free and open to the public, reservations required and available at stolaf.edu/dance/eventsperformances beginning Oct. 3.

By Megan Proft t’s just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right.

Audiences can do the Time Warp again this fall at the Northfield Arts Guild’s fundraiser production of The Rocky Horror Show.

The Rocky Horror Show will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27-29 and at midnight Oct. 28 and 29 at the Northfield Arts Guild Theater. The show is sponsored by Hvistendahl, Moersch, Dorsey & Hahn, P.A., and Capital Construction, LLC. Mary Hahn, co-directing the show with Megan Proft, said that their show will look different than you might expect.

“We‘re getting away from the movie in the way of unique costumes, different choreography – even different vocalizations,” Hahn said, adding that audiences can expect dark, campy and sexy fun.

It’s a vision that Brendon Etter said he’s looking forward to helping create as he takes on the role of the central character Dr. Frank-nFurter.

He said it was important to him that this be a new take on the show, not simply a recreation of the Arts Guild’s 2008 production.

In addition to the new look of the show, Hahn said they are embracing the rock-n-roll aspect of the music.

“We are going to have a full rock band on the stage led by J-P Douglas and Ray Coudret, and the band will be a part of production and the show,” she said.

Douglas said he’s looking forward to bringing the show to life with the full rock ensemble.

“We’re sort of bringing the sound up to date a bit… we’re going to groove a bit more. You can expect to see some very energetic dancing,” he said. “We want the whole evening to have the feeling of a rock concert.”

Tickets are $15/general admission and $22/VIP (includes ticket, priority seating, concession voucher and participation kit) and are on sale at the Northfield Arts Guild, 304 Division St., or online at NorthfieldArtsGuild.org. Audience participation and costumes are encouraged. This show is for mature audiences.

The season’s splendor

Many of the artists featured take part in the Studio ARTour of South Central Minnesota, Oct. 14-15.

Celebrate the region’s bountiful harvests by taking in the last of the farmers markets – Northfield Farmers Market is located in Riverside Park every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday through the end of the month. Riverwalk Market Fair, on Northfield’s Bridge Square, holds court every Saturday through Oct. 22.

Bridgewater Produce Farm in Northfield has their Fall Harvest Festival Oct. 1-23 with a corn maze, pumpkin playland, barrel cart races for the kids, pumpkin picking, of course, and more.

OKTOBERFEST with Stein Hoisting and music • 5-11pm

The Contented Cow, Northfield Live music by Multe (5-7pm) and The Wreck (9-11pm).

Multe grew out of a weekly Nordic folk music get-together and jam session (once known as Nordic Jam) when some of its participants decided to take on the genre more seriously and emulate some of its heroes. Originally focused on gammaldans (literally “old dance” – schottische, waltz, reinlender, etc.), the band has grown to include tunes more suited to listening than dance by artists at the forefront of modern Scandinavian folk music. Multe’s members have hosted such artists here for gigs and visited them in their native lands during festivals. The band’s current lineup is: Jon Bjork (five-row accordion and guitar), Doug Wornson (accordion), Bruce Jensen (double bass), Jerry Johnson (guitar) and Glenn Lee (accordion). What has evolved since 2007 has become one of Northfield’s true hidden musical gems.

The Wreck, one of the Twin Cities’ most popular party bands, plays a wide variety of covers ranging from blues, soul and R&B to rock, country and a little new wave. The group, featuring vocalist Colleen Martin Oake (Lolo’s Ghost), got its start as students “back in the day” at St. Olaf College.

Michael Ray & the Nasty Notes is a popular alt-country/roots rock band. Youa Vang of City Pages says “Michael Ray & the Nasty Notes’ moniker sets expectations for their music before you even hear it. Their new record The Higher You Climb has the listener sifting through stories that cobbles together patches of sound to make an alt-country album out of the remains.

It’s raw and will stay with you after the first listen.”

Add in the groove of the upright and downright bass by Robb Stearns and the rhythm of Bill Whelan on drums and you have really got something to dance to.

With CVRO, the Laura MacKenzie Trio will present a program of traditional music originally arranged for Sproule’s group, Altan, in celebration of the ensemble’s 25 years of performing music together. These well-loved tunes and songs have been performed with the RTE Concert Orchestra, the Ulster Orchestra and the Royal Scottish Opera Orchestra, and range from delightful dance tunes to beautiful ballads, sung in both Irish and English. In addition to this repertoire, orchestral pieces will include Malcolm Arnold’s Four Scottish Dances and Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy.

As fate would have it, oddball ukulele legend Tiny Tim moved in next door and somehow became Jack’s babysitter.

Laid-back music steeped in tradition with one foot firmly in the future, they call their style “organic vaudeville folk.”

Best known for his popular commentaries on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, Kling has worked with Interact for two decades as a playwright, humorist and inspiration through the healing power of his stories. He joined Interact for Interact Thailand 2014, taking their vision of radical inclusion – a vision of “everybody in” – from the Land of Lakes to the mountains of Chiang Mai. Come for the show, stay for the conversation after.

9th Annual

Elaine Schaffner Painter Elaine Schaffner creates realistic paintings with an emphasis on the interplay of color and light. The outdoors are an integral part of who she is and she endeavors to honor the beauty and serenity found in nature. She feels it is important to pause and appreciate our natural surroundings. Her paintings allow them to be enjoyed again and again.

Nostalgia often brings her back to the rural landscapes that she took for granted as a child growing up on the family farm in northeast Iowa. Her watercolor and archival ink paintings are completed on location whereas her oil paintings are often created in her Northfield home studio from her photographs, sketches, notes and memory. More and more though, she is trekking out into nature with her easel and oil paints to take on the challenge of painting outside in this medium as well.

Doug Foxgrover

Printmaker Doug Foxgrover’s work combines the graphic design sensibilities of woodblock prints and various art styles with modern digital imaging tools. “The past infects my visual interests like a virus. The cure is to make visible something that’s a little hidden or transparent in the present, the now, this time. The result, I hope, feels familiar but looks different, fresh.” This confluence of old and new ideas, using modern and ancient production processes and various mediums, creates a gentle tension and a desire to look deeper. As in all things, careful viewing/consideration reveals more than is immediately apparent.

Sharol Nau

Painter

“I had fun this past summer painting images of Lily Tomlin on square format paper plates. Lily is one of my favorite entertainers – she makes me laugh. The Fe Gallery in Sacramento, CA, included them in an unauthorized unofficial Lily Tomlin Art Show.

The summer brought more joy as my spouse and I traveled to Jyvaskyla, Finland, to attend BRIDGES 2016, an art and math conference where artists and mathematicians gather for an exhibition, talks and workshops over a five-day period. In addition to that exhibition, my folded books were also featured on Fibonacci Susan’s blog and are now on tour throughout Finland and Hungary.

Locally, my work has been included in the Landmark Center’s summer show, the Fifteenth Anniversary Commemoration 9/11 exhibition at Northfield City Hall, the member’s show at the Northfield Arts Guild, as well as the usual haunts of the Arts Guild Shop, Northfield Senior Center and The Sketchy Artist in Northfield.”

Julie Fakler Painter Julie Fakler creates vibrant original domestic animal paintings and pet portraits using acrylic on hardboard.

Forget humans, her preferred models are chubby cats and animals of all sorts including dogs, chickens, cows and goats.

Fakler has been painting for as long as she can remember. Her studio will be open to the public during the Studio ARTour Oct. 14-16. See more than a 100 paintings of domestic animals. Custom pet portrait commissions welcomed.

“Over the last few years I had the pleasure of traveling to some of the most exotic destinations in the world. With the territory, I developed a love for the ocean and photography became my tool for capturing my experiences both in and out of the water.

I’m inspired by the ocean. Every time you enter the water you never know what you are going to see or experience. The beauty is as relevant as the danger. That’s what I love most about photographing in the ocean.

My work has recently been in Surfgirl Magazine, Stab Magazine and is used by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism to promote the islands. “

Jeanne DeBruin Painter “It took me a lifetime to draw like a child.”

– Pablo Picasso “It was when I finally understood what Picasso was talking about that things began to happen on my canvas.

I’m 74 and I’ve taken dozens of art classes over the years – oils, acrylics, watercolors, chalk, batik, you name it – yet I never created a picture. Then about a year ago I made up my mind that I was going to paint a picture every day for three months and, if by the end of that time, I had not painted a picture, I was never going to pick up a brush again. Strangely, it turned out I never should have been painting with a brush in the first place.

On the day I experimented by painting only with a palette knife, something interesting happened on my canvas. I was drawing a birch tree with broad strokes with my knife dipped in acrylic paint and water. When I added a few details with a ballpoint pen, the lines began to ‘fuzz’ out as the dark pen lines blended with the raw umber paint.

The tree that I was painting took on a ‘dreamscape’ appearance and the

tree whisperer in me was born.

I paint quickly and simply like a child now, not planning ahead, finding joy in the process instead of working toward a goal, continuing to experiment without rules. No two canvases are ever alike, just as no two trees are ever alike. I continue to paint my nature dreamscapes without brushes, using only a knife WhisperingWoodsArt.com and a really messy ballpoint pen.”

Mark Daehlin

Painter “I dream of light and sound and color, and the best of those visions animate my work. I hope my images create a space where souls in search of solace or peace can make their own inner journey.”

Mark Daehlin is an award-winning fine artist with a wide range of styles. Travels across the Southwestern United States, the Caribbean and especially Minnesota, inspire his work. The North Shore of Lake Superior is a favorite, as well as the parks of Southern Utah and the Grand Canyon. Acrylic and oil paintings on canvas depict the natural world in a bold and colorful way that goes beyond surface beauty and evokes the inner spirit that animates these great places.

“The joy of creation and communing with nature are my greatest inspirations.”

Daehlin’s paintings and limited-edition prints adorn homes of collectors and industries locally and internationally. He accepts a limited number of commissions each year.

Daehlin’s gallery, “Windows on Paradise,” is open Oct. 15-16 and year ‘round by appointment.

Juliane Shibata Potter This past year, Juliane Shibata exhibited at Instinct Art Gallery in Minneapolis, KOBO Gallery in Seattle, Otterbein University, and Coe College, among others.

She was named a 2016 Emerging Artist

by Ceramics Monthly and is a co-curator of (Michi) – Distinctive Paths, Shared Affinity: An Exhibition of Japanese American Ceramic Artists, which is on display at the Perlman Teaching Museum at Carleton College through Nov. 16.

Shibata’s cups will be included in the Third Annual Yunomi Invitational at Raymond Avenue Gallery in November, and her installations will be shown at George Fox University in Oregon in conjunction with the 2017 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts conference in March.

“My botanical installations reflect on the relationships between humans and the natural world. Flowers and plants have a js@julianeshibata.com defined lifespan: they grow, bloom, fade See more: julianeshibata.com, michiexhibition.com, Veronique Wantz and decompose. Ceramics are durable: Gallery (Minneapolis), Kopplin’s Coffee (St. Paul) they can last millennia. I am interested in the contrast between the transience of nature and beauty on the one hand, and the relative stability of fired ceramics on the other. I am compelled by the boundaries between artistic abstraction and botanical specificity, complexity and simplicity, individuality and collectivity, happenstance and control, and light and dark. The space between realms is especially poignant: the median strip between two clear paths is often the most contemplative, both visually and conceptually.”

Marsha Kitchel Painter “I am an oil painter of landscapes, portraits and still life. I especially love to paint Northfield scenes, including the colleges, and portraits of both people and pets.

Come see these paintings and 40 MORE original paintings on Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16, as I open my apartment studio at 304 Washington St. to the public during Northfield’s Studio ARTour. I will also have a selection of art cards for sale, featuring eight of my paintings.

Jan Eckhart

Illustrator

Jan Eckhart is a veteran creative who holds a BFA in graphic design from Brigham Young University. She spent the bulk of her career as a designer, art director and creative director for ad agencies and marketing firms out west and in the Twin Cities. She focused on illustration and event marketing during her recent five years of living in Stockholm, Wisconsin, just before moving to Northfield.

“The Lake Pepin area is a draw for writers, artists, musicians and foodies, but short on population. This combination brings people together in engaging and creative ways.”

Eckhart found a niche in helping promote the many events happening in the area – the film festival, the performing and culinary arts, the concerts – with her illustrated posters. Now that she’s made Northfield her home, she’s working to do the same there.

Dale Brown

jan@fuego-design.com See more: fuego-design.com

Fused Glass Artist “I love experimenting and trying new glass fusing techniques to create organic, flowing pieces of glass that can be used as design elements in other pieces. After initial fusing, glass is often cut up, coldworked, refused, and then slumped in a mold for the final shape. I love opening up the kiln to see how the glass has been transformed in the fusing process, and the results never cease to amaze me. I hope that you will enjoy the artwork as much as I do.”

Brown is a Studio Art Assistant at Normandale College working in the photography, fused glass and print-making studios. He teaches introductory glass fusing classes for adults and kids out of his studio in Northfield and at local art centers.

Sue Hammes-Knopf

Jewelry Designer “I have been creating art jewelry for more than 20 years. I’m motivated by a curious attitude and inspired by just about everything beautiful! The tools I use are simple, a needle with some sort of thread. I work with beads in all shapes, colors, materials and sizes. I create jewelry that is sculptural with repetition of shapes and multiple color combinations.”

Hammes-Knopf shows her work at juried art festivals primarily in the Midwest and Florida. Her work is collected by many and is included in the permanent collection at the Minnesota History Center.

A multiple award winner and grant recipient, in 2015, she received an Established Artist grant from Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council. In 2016, her capstone event for the grant was held in conjunction with the member’s show at the Northfield Arts Guild.

As a volunteer grant writer and co-facilitator of this year’s South Central Minnesota Studio ARTour, Hammes-Knopf’s studio will be open Oct. 14, (evening only) and Oct. 15 and 16, in downtown Northfield.

Paul Krause

Documentary Filmmaker

Paul Krause has documented the life and events of Northfield for more than 15 years. In 1999, he and fellow documentarian Dennis Wilcox created the Northfield Community Video Project. The purpose of the project was to document activities of the Northfield community as they had an impact on the town’s “quality of life.” Within two years, Krause and Wilcox had created 13 short documentaries, including: Where in the World is Northfield, Minnesota?, Fifty Years or More on Division, Bridge Square and the Legacy of John and Ann North.

Since then, Krause has documented diverse aspects of Northfield life. Although focused on the town’s arts and artists, he has also created a variety of documentaries about local non-profits and historical events. Among those represented are Laura Baker Services, the Northfield Arts Guild, the Northfield Historical Society and Ruth’s House of Hope in Faribault.

Harvest: A Community’s History Founded in Bronze and Genesis: The Art of Creation, two of his longer films, have been broadcast by TPT’s Minnesota Channel for more than five years.

His most recent production, Rain on Mars, documents the creation of the sculpture of the same name that now resides on Division Street in front of the library. Krause received an Established Artist’s grant from Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council to produce the film. It follows 13 young sculptors from Northfield High School over ten months. Their remarkable story educates, entertains and inspires as they work toward consensus. Rain on Mars will be shown this fall at the Weitz Center Cinema, Carleton College.

Krause is currently working on a short documentary about the Northfield Arts Guild-sponsored A+Arts Group to be premiered this fall.

Keith Homstad

Iconographer Keith E.O. Homstad, BA, MBA, MDiv, is a retired, ordained Lutheran pastor, as well as an active “fill-in” preacher, presider and enthusiastic writer (painter) of Byzantine-style Christian icons.

He has studied with Ukrainian, Russian and Syrian Antiochin master iconographers and, as of September 2016, has produced more than 130 icons.

Though a hand-painted traditional icon can be expensive, much like a fine oil painting of any subject, traditional icons are intended to last for generations so they are painted on solid wood panels. Homstad has worked to come up with a much less expensive way for people to have a brilliantly gilded full color icon from his works.

“Though I’ve studied with five master iconographers, none of them had developed a technique to put 24K gold leaf on greeting cards. After all, it has to not only stick, it has to be brilliantly shiny or textured, depending on what the artist has in mind. Well, I’ve done it.”

For original, unique, hand-painted icons, contact Homstad directly. He can execute icons for gifts for weddings, anniversaries, special occasions, etc.

HISTORIC

HAPPENINGS

By Susan Hvistendahl

Carleton College Celebrates Its Sesquicentennial “We’ve already started three colleges and have the logs cut for four more.” An early 19th century letter from an Ohio settler to a friend in New England may have overstated the case but the establishment of educational institutions has always been a priority in this country.

Carleton College in Northfield was among the liberal arts colleges that were founded by the Congregationalists, including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury and Amherst in the East and Carleton, Grinnell, Oberlin and Beloit in the Midwest.

Charles M. Goodsell was chairman of a committee formed to look into founding a college in Minnesota so it was not surprising that Goodsell, active in Northfield’s Congregational Church, came up with an offer from Northfield. When the State Conference met at 2:30 on Oct. 12, 1866, in the First Congregational Church of Faribault, Northfield was accepted as the location of the college.

Carleton will be celebrating its sesquicentennial starting with what it is calling a “town and gown” birthday party celebration of its 150 years on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 5 to 7pm on Bridge Square in Northfield. (See sidebar.)

But Carleton College was actually born on May 9, 1871. What?

How can that be? Well, the college was first called Northfield College. The college’s first president, Rev. James W. Strong, a native of Vermont who became a minister in Faribault, was tasked with the inevitable fundraising for the young college. He traveled to New England and in December of 1870 was a passenger in a horse and carriage which was hit by a New Haven, Conn., train, leaving the driver deceased. Strong was badly injured and faced days of unconsciousness and months on crutches, but his miraculous survival impressed William Carleton, who had been one of his hosts in Charlestown, Mass. Carleton was a wealthy manufacturer of brass wares, such as fixtures for gas lighting, and a dedicated churchman. Feeling that Strong’s life must have been “saved for a divine purpose,” Carleton made an enormous, overwhelming and unconditional bequest of $50,000 to little-known Northfield College. The grateful trustees decided to rename the college in his honor. Thus was Northfield College reborn with its new name of Carleton College in 1871.

October 2016

Northfield College wasn’t even a true college at first. In a time when secondary education was scarce, it started out with only students in a preparatory department. The first bachelor’s degrees were awarded in 1874 to James J. Dow of Northfield and Myra A. Brown of Monticello, Minn., with Dow giving an oration on “The Attainment of True Manhood” and Brown speaking of “The Intellectual Culture of Women.” Evidently Myra thought well of James’ true manhood and James appreciated Myra’s intellectual culture, for they married on Christmas Day six months after graduation.

As a temporary measure, the first structure housing Northfield College in 1867 was a ramshackle former hotel called the American House, which John North had constructed in 1856, a year after founding Northfield. The first campus building was completed in 1872 and named Willis Hall in 1873 after Susan Willis, who had donated $10,000 to pay off the mortgage. (She became benefactor William Carleton’s second wife in 1875.) In 1879, Willis Hall was gutted by fire but rebuilt the next year. Willis remains the oldest structure on campus and has served in many capacities over the years, including as classrooms, library, chapel, bookstore, tea room and post office. It was the student union starting in 1954 until 1979 when the Sayles-Hill gym was remodeled into a student center. Decades of students have kept time with chimes from the Willis clock tower.

Faced with the question of how to present the story of Carleton students over the past 150 years, Carleton brought in Gary Vikan, Carleton Class of 1967 with a doctorate from Princeton in 1976, to give guidance to a class last spring called “The Art of Exhibition.” The result can be seen in the exhibit now open through Nov. 16 in the Braucher Gallery of the Perlman Teaching Museum in Carleton’s Weitz Center for Creativity. Vikan comes with impressive credentials. He was Director of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore from 1994 to 2013, after having served as the

museum’s assistant director for Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Medieval Art since 1985. Before coming to the Walters, Vikan was Senior Associate for Byzantine Art Studies at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. He has also taught at Johns Hopkins University.

Vikan is an internationally known medieval art scholar with varied interests, including publishing and speaking on topics such as early Christian pilgrimage, medicine and magic, icons, the Shroud of Turin, neuroscience and aesthetics and Elvis Presley.

The title of the exhibition is “Independence of Thought: An Unfolding Story 1866-2016.” Vikan told me in an e-mail that his hopes for the show and for the class were “that the students would understand that an exhibition is all about experience, and feelings.

And values. And AUDIENCE.” The idea was “to give face and voice to Carleton’s past, such as Ken Burns gave face and voice to the Civil War.”

An outdoor sculpture called Twigonometry by Patrick Dougherty was shared with the community from 2002 to 2006 on the north end of the Bald Spot on campus. It was created from willow, buckthorn and dogwood from the Cowling Arboretum and the McKnight prairie. Laurel Bradley, Director of Carleton Exhibitions, said the piece “maintained its looks” and was so popular that it was “held over.” A farewell ice cream social was held in honor of the sculpture when it was taken down in July of 2006.

Five years are singled out to represent different eras: 1890, 1918, 1942, 1971 and 2001. Vikan said the basic layout is “governed by five large photo-murals.” The students “picked an image that they felt captured the essence of that year,” along with a page from the school paper, the Carletonian, and a double page from the Algol yearbook. The students “identified a real person” from each year and selected a text associated with that person, such as a diary or a letter. For example, for 1890, the faces of a man and young woman are shown and a letter is read in which the man describes to his daughter “a caper on campus one night to steal some ice cream.”

Original photographs and scrapbooks have also been chosen to “give a sense of intimacy and personality” to that year. Also in each section will be what Vikan described as a “goldilocks,” an object to be looked at and touched, “like the chair, the bed, the porridge.”

Students in the “Art of Exhibition” class selected photos to show student life at Carleton during five different years across history, including this one of roommates at Gridley Hall from the 1894-95 school year (left) for the exhibit “Independence of Thought: An Unfolding Story 1866 to 2016.” Another photo (right) shows Carleton coeds with servicemen who were taking part in an Army Specialized Training Program on campus during World War II.

The words of the exhibit are all by the 14 students in the class, with “very few edits on my part,” according to Vikan. Difficult issues are not avoided: “A wall text and image recalls the foundation of the school on a Dakota village; another, the first Black graduate, in 1949; and another, the struggles of gay Carls as late as the ’70s.”

In addition, the exhibit includes infographics created by students in Carleton history professor Bill North’s “Carleton in the Archives” course from last spring, which “helps make sense of college history and culture across time” by way of quantitative analyses of various aspects of college life. Students in the class combed many kinds of documents and records to gather data that would reveal change over time in areas ranging from athletics to dormitories, the most popular majors to changes in the Carleton endowment. North’s students also compiled “yearbooks” for each of the years featured in the exhibition along with several digital narratives that explore aspects of the college over time.

The “Independence of Thought” exhibit at Carleton provides the opportunity for visitors to contribute art to a tunnel fashioned after the pedestrian tunnels connecting dorms where students could give artistic expression, such as this one, until tunnels were closed in 1988.

Vikan said that the students chose the “over-arching theme for the show: a continuity of values over decades. What it means to be a Carl, whether it be 1890, 1971 or today.” Four of the students produced a “wonderful six-minute video culled from old Carleton videos, going back to the ’20s and up to 2015” with background music composed by Charles Lutvak, Class of 2019.

For years, Carleton students were able to use pedestrian tunnels connecting Evans Hall to Nourse to escape the elements. The walls became a popular repository of student artistic efforts and philosophical musings but were closed in 1988 due to liability concerns.

Vikan said that the exhibit ends with a tunnel, “an evocation of the famed Carleton tunnels” in which visitors can “tag” the walls with their “reactions to the show and their thoughts about Carleton.”

Summing up his experience, Vikan said, “The kids were wonderful.

They believe in their college and its values, and they support one another. They are smart, and I was amazed how well they write.”

And for him, as a Carl from the Class of 1967, “It was pure joy to again be part of an extraordinary college.”

There will be a reception at the Perlman Museum featuring student curators and researchers who developed the exhibit on Friday, Oct. 14, from 7 to 9pm, as part of the Carleton’s 150th celebration.

Vikan will speak on “The Making of a Sesquicentennial Exhibition” on Sat., Oct. 15, from 11:10am to 12:10pm at Olin Hall, Room 141.

The Northfield Historical Society is the site of another sesquicentennial exhibit called “Hometown Ties: Carleton Celebrates 150 Years with Northfield.” This exhibit, which is running until June of 2017, has been put together by Carleton College archivist Tom Lamb. Lamb said he is highlighting how Carleton is intertwined with Northfield, starting with the college’s founding largely by Northfielders.

In June of 1960, Look Magazine did a feature on Carleton’s President Laurence (Larry) Gould, for which students posed for a spoof of “undergraduate types now rife on Carleton’s campus” as shown to the left. Students in Gary Vikan’s “Art of the Exhibit” class recreated parts of this photo, as shown to the right. Among the types shown in 1960 were “the perennially egocentric BMOC [Big Man on Campus],” “the HiFi addict, whose records, turned up loud, make dorm life hideous,” the “All American Coed, who rockets around the carless campus on a bicycle,” the “Fashion Plate with umbrella,” the “Frantic All-Around Athlete,” the “Sackhound, for whom sleep is life’s greatest joy,” guitar players singing folk songs, along with Nature Boy and studious Bookie, a politico with gavel, Bridge Hounds, Young Lovers on a blanket, the Campus Belle and Modern Dancers.

One of the panels highlights “Citizen Carls,” including Carleton treasurer Joseph Lee Heywood and Northfield native Candace Moses. Heywood sacrificed his life when he was filling in as cashier at the First National Bank during the 1876 James-Younger robbery attempt. “Dace” or “Dacie” Moses, as she was known, worked as assistant to Carleton’s treasurer, from 1919 to 1951, and later as a circulation assistant in Carleton’s library until she retired at age 86 in 1969 in the 50th year of her employment. Over many years, the Moses house at 110 Union St. near campus was open to students at any hour. Every Sunday morning she provided orange juice, rolls and coffee. She also played cribbage with students and offered use of her phone, refrigerator and oven (for extensive cookie-baking).

The Carleton Knights singing group practiced in her living room, just as the Northfield Male Chorus had done for 25 years before the 1960 death of her husband, Royal Moses (Carleton Class of 1904), who sang in the chorus. In turn, students cleaned her house, took her grocery shopping, painted her house and sent her announcements about life events after their graduation. Her only rule: no complaining about Carleton.

In 1969, Moses was given a Master of Arts Degree and told to wear it “as the badge of our gratitude that in so serious a world there can be as fun-loving and joy-giving a person as yourself.” In 1975, the Carleton College Alumni awarded her a certificate for distinguished service. She was nearly 98 years old when she died on Jan. 3, 1981, at Northfield Hospital, having been cheered by calls and letters that Christmas from Carls who she considered to be her family. The Carleton Knights sang at her memorial service at First United Church of Christ. In her will, she left her house to Carleton to be used as a home away from home for Carleton students, as it remains today.

In 1967, Carleton’s singing Knights honored Dace Moses by dedicating a record album to her called “Dace and Knights.”

Moses, who opened up her home to many Carleton students, is one of several individuals and events featured in the exhibit at the Northfield Historical Society called “Hometown Ties: Carleton Celebrates 150 Years with Northfield.” Courtesy Carleton College Archives

The NHS exhibit also alludes to the rivalry between Carleton and St. Olaf colleges as the two schools try for co-existence on either side of the Cannon River. Brawls on the bridges over the river in the past have yielded to cooperation in other fields. Well, except for athletics. A basketball trophy (since 1913) and football trophy (since 1931), both in the form of a goat, are fought over annually.

Both goats currently reside on Manitou Heights. The Carls will attempt to take the football “goatrophy” back from St. Olaf on Oct. 22 at 1pm at Carleton’s Laird Stadium. Carleton will have to beat St. Olaf twice in basketball this season to truly “get St. Olaf ’s goat.”

columns was on May Fetes in May of 2013 and next May, I will be speaking on the subject at the Northfield Historical Society.)

An exhibit panel labeled “Building a Strong Community” focuses on how Carleton faculty, staff and students volunteer in Northfield and contribute to local organizations. “We Gather Together” emphasizes how Northfielders are encouraged to attend events on campus and “An Open Campus” notes that Carleton is available for “dog-walking, jogging and winter ice-skating.” Many take advantage of walks through the Cowling Arboretum (“the Arb”) with its 880 acres of trails.

A Carleton grad singled out in the exhibit is Paul Wesley “Doc” Evans (Carleton Class of 1929) who became a nationally known Dixieland musician. He came back frequently to play his cornet at his alma mater and even to record in Northfield. He founded the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, conducting it until his death in 1977. I was pleased to be able to feature Evans in our June music issue of 2014, drawing on information from his wife, Eleanor Evans Hattery, who now lives in Northfield. The exhibit has an audio station to hear recorded selections by Doc Evans and also by the Knights singing group.

There is a separate panel on May Fete, which grew from a simple May Day observance on a dorm lawn in 1909 into a pageant which brought visitors from far and wide to the hillsides overlooking Lyman Lakes. There they observed spectacles led by the college women involving Greek and Roman classics, orchestras (even the Minneapolis Symphony), ballets, musicals, operettas and more until its demise in the tumultuous 1960s. (One of my favorite past

Carleton’s Goodsell Observatory, named after the college’s founder, Charles M. Goodsell, also has its own panel. The observatory was the source of daily time signals in the Midwest for half a century.

Following tradition, astronomical viewings are open to the public on first Fridays, with a couple of the telescopes dating back to 1877 and 1890. (The observatory shape inspired a prank in June of 2010 in which it was transformed into R2-D2 of Star Wars fame.)

A Carleton legend named “Stewsie” was not a Carl, but he did receive an honorary Master of Arts degree from Carleton in 1964.

In 1974, a book was published about his life (In Search of Fulfillment: Episodes in the Life of D. Blake Stewart by Merrill E. Jarchow).

Also in 1974, the Carleton Alumni Association presented him with

Described in Jarchow’s 1974 book as “crusty, cantankerous, harddriving,” Stewsie was still doing some work at the college at age 92. Stewsie said, “The trouble with this country is that we figure usefulness by age. There is no worse crime than requiring a man to stop working when he is 65.” He died at the age of 100 on April 6, 1982.

One of my favorite stories from the exhibit at the Northfield Historical Society is about how Carleton’s iconic Skinner Memorial Chapel “symbolizes the intimate connection between Carleton and Northfield.” Emily Skinner provided funds for the chapel as a memorial to her late husband, founding Carleton trustee, Miron Skinner. She asked that the chapel face south toward Northfield, rather than inward to the campus to illustrate the good relations of the college with the community. The chapel was dedicated Oct. 8, 1916, close to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the college.

Now, 150 years after Carleton’s founding, the college is celebrating its continuing connection with Northfield, a town whose motto is “Cows, Colleges and Contentment.”

Susan Hvistendahl will speak about and sign copies of her books, Historic Happenings at Carleton College and Historic Happenings at St. Olaf College, at the Rice County Historical Society in Faribault at 7pm on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Marc Reigel, leader of Carleton’s Night Crawlers band of the 1960s, will lead a short oldies sing-along on the historic Schimmel piano afterwards.

D. Blake Stewart, known as “Stewsie,” was superintendent of grounds at Carleton for decades. Here he is shown at work landscaping Carleton’s Olin Hall of Science in 1961, one of several buildings designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki who went on to design the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, which were destroyed by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. Courtesy Carleton College Archives

a Distinguished Service Award as “architect of the campus landscape.” More than any other person, “Stewsie,” as he was known by all, influenced the look of Carleton through his position as superintendent of grounds, starting on Jan. 1, 1920.

A native of Canada, Stewsie brought to his job a range of experiences as a farmer, milkman, grocery boy, hotel employee, restauranteur, salesman, recreational director and YMCA secretary. In the neglected basement of Willis Hall, he created a new bookstore, which he managed from 1920 to 1938, along with a post office and snack shop. It took him a decade to convert a former pasture into scenic Bell Athletic Field. He landscaped the Lyman Memorial Lakes and new buildings as they were constructed. Stewsie and his crew did the grading and excavating of the Upper Arb, planting thousands of trees and flowers there. The Lower Arb also felt his touch and his biographer Jarchow wrote that by 1949, “It was estimated that 200,000 wild flowers – mostly secured from farms in the vicinity – had been planted in the Arb and around Lyman Memorial Lakes.” When nurseryman A.M. Brand of Faribault discontinued selling lilacs, Stewsie acquired 1,500 pedigreed lilac bushes, more than 90 varieties. The fragrance of Lilac Hill north of lower Lyman Lake inspired legions of partying Carls (and some Oles) in the spring.

Stewsie was active in his community beyond Carleton, as well.

He helped found the Northfield Golf Club, promoted an outdoor community swimming pool and contributed to many other city beautification and improvement projects. He aided the acquisition of Babcock Park and participated in the Northfield Improvement Association and Northfield Planning Commission.
