George Eastman House focuses on the future To understand how important images are as cultural markers — as mirrors to humanity’s stories and actions — you only need to witness how popular photography and film have been since their inception. The George Eastman House is not a mere museum of photographs, says its director, Dr. Anthony Bannon (pictured). “This is really a museum of communication, and as such, a museum about life, about living — about how we come to name ourselves and know ourselves. And that’s a description of culture: naming and knowing,” he says.

Considering all of this, the George Eastman House’s offerings are unparalleled. Its collections in-

clude a staggering 4 million objects of photography, film, and technology. Its galleries present educational and fascinating exhibitions, and the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation provides graduate-level education and was the first permanent school of film preservation in the world.

A number of exciting developments have taken shape under the 15-year leadership of Bannon. Recent developments include exciting new collections acquisitions, local and international alliances, opportunities to further conservation efforts, and game-changing future projects, including a new online initiative.

Just accept our ‘lowly status’?

Re: Italo Savella’s letter, “Rich, Poor, and the Ideal Country” (The Mail, March 16): Let’s return, by all means, to the days of slavery; adopt the caste system practiced in India, in which everyone knows his status in society and is content not to rise above it, and the good-old days of Nazi rule, with its aptly named Master Race.

True, “no one starves in the US, except by choice, like anorexic people.” Some people, such as millions of malnourished children, have no choice about their hunger.

Then there is the “myth of l’égalité propounded by intellectuals from Rousseau, to Pol Pot.” The writer failed to mention intellectuals such as Jefferson, who espoused that “all men are created equal” but who admittedly did not always practice what he preached, and Lincoln, who, as they say, freed the slaves.

These two and many others at least laid the groundwork for equality and the opportunity to rise above our station through our own efforts. This has been the assumption, that we can rise above our station — at least up until the present. The writer implies that it would be better for all if we just stayed put and were content with our lowly status, while the elite enjoy the fruits of our labor.

STAR’s basic inequalities

I appreciated Ove Overmyer’s commentary, “A Fairer Way to Fix the Budget” (February 2). And I City

MARCH 30 - APRIL 5, 2011

would like to add that only our state legislators could imagine that a person making $500,000 a year would need help with their school property tax.

I think we believed that the basic STAR program, regarding school taxes, was created to help low-income residents stay in their homes. But according to the program’s website, “Basic STAR is available to anyone who owns and lives in his or her own home and earns less than $500,000.” Is that what STAR was created for? What are our state representatives thinking?

And regarding the Senior Limited Income program for town and county property taxes: the lowest bracket goes only to $28,999. So seniors who might have an income of half that amount (many do) do not get more of a discount than a person whose income is twice as much as theirs. With both school taxes and town and property taxes, the brackets for the state STAR programs seem to be designed to help people who least need help.

Either our legislators do not have a clue as to how little many residents’ income are, or their programs are just another giveaway to people who least need help. Balancing the state budget, maintaining our public schools, and helping our lowest-income seniors stay in their homes is only a matter of having income brackets for STAR programs that are not a giveaway for the wealthy and that consider the incomes of our poorest seniors.

JULIE FAUSETTE, HENRIETTA

From our website

On a reader’s letter, “Disturbing Truths About Urban Education”:

Of course poverty and its injustices make learning an extraordinary challenge for any child. But schools, educators, administrators, teacher unions, lawmakers, and bureaucrats regularly accept poverty as an excuse for poor education outcomes and doom children across our city to a continued cycle of poverty.

Look, I’m all for desegregating schools in Monroe County.

The racial and socioeconomic divide between Charlotte High School and Pittsford-Mendon High School is akin to Little Rock days. But those who sug-

gest that by simply mixing the pot, the most underserved students will somehow magically show dramatic academic improvement are either delusional or peddling an agenda.

If we really care about “increasing the achievement of poverty-stricken students,” then I suggest we start looking around at the schools right here in our city that are successfully breaking the shackles of poverty in classrooms. Schools like 19, 58, True North, and Eugenio Maria de Hostos.

These schools are successfully outpacing suburban districts, closing the achievement gap, and proving that poverty does not need to determine educational outcomes.

JAMES SPOUNT

On an article on outdoor art in Annual Manual (“Galleries

Without Borders,” March 16): I was amazed to find that the Artisan Works Gallery on Blossom Road was overlooked and even more amazed, if not annoyed, that the Cobbs Hill water towers are yet again featured as a tourist destination for seeing public art.

This area is sketchy and unsafe for visitors in general, but especially out of town “tourists.”

To send anyone there to see illegal and vulgar graffiti and classify it as public art is an insult not only to true artists of this city, but also to the hard-working owners of some of the best galleries of outdoor art in the city and, in my opinion, the country.

Artisan Works has more unique outdoor art than any location in the city, and it not only gives the tourist a feast for the eyes from the minute they walk through the parking lot, but then they can go inside to see over 100,000 pieces of art, a collection that puts this gallery into a category of a national treasure.

Take a walk over there see if you don’t agree. And please, stop sending people to the Cobbs Hill water towers. I know it seems “cool” to have an “underground hipster” spot for bad-boy anti-authoritarian expressionism, but this area is just dirty and stupid and unsafe.

Facing the next mayor Regardless of who leads Rochester for the next three years (the polls were still open as our print edition went to press), one thing’s clear: Rochester is a far different place than it once was. And the challenges of having a great city now are formidable.

When we moved to Rochester in 1965, the city’s population was around 300,000. Downtown was a thriving retail center, full of department stores. Kodak’s Rochester employment was something over 50,000. There was no Marketplace Mall, no Eastview Mall.

Now? Well, you know the “now,” and last week’s Census data underscored our problem.

I know; I’ve dragged out this sermon before. But electing a new mayor won’t change the reality: This isn’t a healthy community.

The city continues to lose population, and we’re now at 210,565. (The most we can brag about: We’ve lost fewer people than Buffalo, and we haven’t dropped below 200,000, at which point we lose some federal funds that are allocated to “big cities.”)

Equally as bad: Monroe County’s population has been basically flat for the past 10 years. The population of the entire five-county region has been flat for the past 10 years. We’re not a thriving, growing area; our population is simply moving around. Specifically: moving from the city to Webster and Pittsford, from Pittsford to Ontario County….

In addition to the city, Pittsford Village, East Rochester, Scottsville, and Fairport lost population. Victor grew by 43.1 percent.

This is wasteful and expensive, and it forces us to maintain and provide services in older communities as we build new ones.

Developers and real-estate agents may be making money off of this, but the rest of us are paying more taxes.

Worse than the waste is the competition we’ve bred. To build their tax base, the city and every town in the county fights over business development. And each promises a tax cut to businesses if they move in. So we have businesses moving from one part of Monroe County to another, plugging a hole in one, creating a hole in another — and getting a tax break as they go.

Is this nuts? You bet.

Still worse is what’s happening to our children. We’ve created highly segregated school districts, walling up our poorest children — minority, of course — inside the city. That will get worse, as the state’s

Electing a new mayor won’t change the reality laid out in the Census: This isn’t a healthy community.” budget problems force cuts in state aid and people who can afford to move out do so.

As the New York Times noted on Sunday, the future is disturbing: the taxpayers in wealthy suburbs will do whatever it takes — including raising property taxes — to continue to provide art, music, foreign languages, and Advanced Placement courses to their children. The children in high-needs, high-poverty districts will be offered less and less.

There are rational solutions, regional planning and a metropolitan school district among them, but I’ve long since given up hope that we’ll ever get either.

And so the next mayor will have to continue the efforts of his predecessors, competing for new development, doing what he can to protect city neighborhoods and keep what population we have — and struggling with budget crises.

The next mayor will have his hands full, certainly. Sadly, I see nothing happening that indicates real progress on the biggest obstacle the city faces: the situation in the Rochester school district.

Rather than a cohesive, coherent effort to find a way to educate Rochester’s children despite the concentration of poverty, different factions in the district are at war with one another. In nearly 40 years of publishing this newspaper, I’ve never seen anything like this hostility — and I’ve seen a lot of hostility.

Interesting, isn’t it? Education is the biggest challenge facing the city — and the candidates in the mayoral campaign offered no solutions. The reason? The mayor can’t do a darned thing about it.

By himself, that is.

Can the next mayor pull the broader community together to work on this?

Nobody’s been able to before. Anybody see a reason to be optimistic now?

[ news from the week past ]

Lofton developer chosen

Lofton Lofts LLC, a development company that is a partnership of the Passero Group and the Spoleta Group will redevelop the former Josh Lofton Alternative High School into a mix of offices, retail, and about 20 market-rate residential lofts. The $6.7million project is located at 242 West Main Street.

Another developer, Woodstone Custom Homes, has purchased the former Valley Court Apartment Complex at 1170 Genesee Street in the 19th Ward.

The site was purchased for a $5.2-million project to create a new subdivision of 29 single-family homes.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and State Legislature leaders reached an agreement on the state budget.

The $132.5-billion plan restores some of the cuts Cuomo made in his initial proposal. The Legislature hadn’t voted on the budget by press time.

Representative Louise Slaughter, an ardent supporter of high-speed rail, fired back, saying high-speed rail would create jobs and stimulate economic revitalization.

RIT’s fire readers Small fires play an essential role in the natural health of forests by ridding the forest floor of debris, and opening upper canopies so more sunlight reaches the ground. But large forest fires, particularly in the West and Southwestern US, claim lives and cost billions of dollars in damage annually.

“As more people move into these forested areas, it will continue to be a serious problem,” says RIT physicist Bob Kremens.

Institute of Technology. The men have chased fires, in a manner of speaking, throughout the country.

Both are firefighters and regularly study or “read” prescribed fires, which are generally small fires ignited by trained experts to clear grounds of dead wood and brush.

While Kremens uses thermal infrared sensors on the ground, Faulring, who is also a pilot, uses a multi-spectral camera from a small aircraft to record the fire’s intensity and movement. The special camera, referred to as a Wildfire Airborne Sensor Program or WASP, was built at

RIT for this unique type of work.

While circling above, Faulring says, WASP photographs the fire in fourminute intervals. The photographs form a layered image that can be used to help firefighters on the ground know how to safely suppress the blaze.

Last month, Kremens and Faulring participated in the 2011 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Research Experiment in the pine forest at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

More than 100 scientists attended the prescribed burns, and RIT designed and built more than half of the ground instruments used in the fire research.

Dramatic cuts in proposed budget for city school district

Rochester shrinks, Monroe grows

In the first of a series of public meetings, city schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard unveiled a much-anticipated $677,673,533 budget for 2011-2012 to school board members Tuesday evening. That’s about a $16-million decrease from the district’s final budget for 2010-2011.

It also closes an $80-million gap, which, according to Brizard, was the third in a series of financial storms the district has had to face in recent years. Closing the gap will require a $62million reduction in the district’s work force, as well as reducing or eliminating some of the district’s educational programs, he says.

The school board and City Council will have to approve the final budget, but Brizard estimated that about 900 full-time employees or 15 percent of the district’s work force will be cut, though he was not more specific.

There are still aspects to the budget — state cuts and concessions from the unions — that haven’t been fully deliberated, said district spokesperson Tom Petronio prior to the presentation, and those could impact the final budget.

Convincing parents, students, and teachers that the $80-million budget gap is real, the cuts are necessary, and they’re being made as fairly as possible is probably Brizard’s biggest challenge.

Monroe County is growing, but it may be happening at the city’s expense. | The Census Bureau released New York’s 2010 counts last week. The data showed that Monroe County increased from 735,343 residents to 744,344 residents. That’s a 1.2 percent increase. The City of Rochester’s population, however, shrank by 4 percent: dropping from approximately 219,000 to 210,000 residents.

Also worth noting: Ontario County grew by about 7 percent to 107,931 residents.

That’s up from 100,224. | The figures appear to show that city residents are migrating to the suburbs, though the Census data released last week doesn’t actually say that’s the case. | The Census results will be used for County and State Legislature redistricting, as well to draw the district lines for House seats. New York has to eliminate two House seats because of the statewide results. | State legislators, who draw the House districts’ lines, haven’t decided which two seats will go, but it’s likely that one of them will come from Western New York. All of the counties located to the west of Monroe, Livingston, and Steuben lost population. The City of Buffalo lost 10 percent of its population over the past decade.

The gap, he said, was primarily a result of $51 million in cost increases, more than half due to increases in employee salaries and benefits.

Transportation costs increased by $9 Jean-Claude Brizard. million from the Photo BY MATT DETURCK prior year, and the number of students enrolled in the district has steadily declined since the late 1990’s, but the district’s space grew by nearly 500,000 square feet, which increases facilities costs.

The district needs to have some emergency funds, Brizard said, so dipping into reserves to close the gap is not an option.

How music and art instruction will be impacted is still unknown. Preliminary staffing decisions were made by principals in each school, using a formula referred to as Equitable School Funding. ESF is intended to fairly distribute resources to schools.

Brizard’s presentation is on the district’s website: www.rcsdk12.org.

MENTAL HEALTH | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Roundtables let parents help parents It’s not your fault. And you’re not alone.

Those are the messages that Marjorie Lefler says the families of children with several emotional, mental health, or behavioral challenges need to hear. Lefler is coordinator of human services systems for the Rochester school district.

The district is joining with the county’s mental health office and the Mental Health Association on the Better Days Ahead program, which provides support and advocacy for families with troubled children.

The program has created a handful of family roundtables throughout Monroe County. The newest, in the city’s Southwest quadrant, began meeting last week at the Wilson Foundation Academy, 200 Genesee Street.

The roundtables meet monthly, and at each session there are opportunities for parents and agencies to exchange information. For example, representatives of mental-health agencies or the school district can provide parents with resources and information. And parents can give feedback on existing programs and make suggestions for improvement.

“There are so many places that do to and for our families, and don’t really work with our families and empower our families,” says Melanie Funchess, director of community engagement for the Mental Health Association. “We want families to be better educated going in so they can get the services their children need.”

The roundtables also encourage parents to help and support each other.

“It’s really led by parents,” Lefler says.

“That’s the way the county designed it, and it just works so well. You know your kid better than anybody else. You’re the real expert on your kid.”

The school district is working with social workers, school psychologists, and teachers, Lefler says, to identify the families with children in elementary school who might benefit from the Southwest roundtable. Flyers will go home with those children, she says, inviting the families to attend the group.

“Due to the overwhelming expressed need in the elementary schools, we chose to start our targeted outreach there,” Lefler

says. “However, no parent will ever be turned away.”

The groups usually take a while to get established, Funchess says, because of trust issues and because of the stigma attached to mental health and behavioral challenges.

“When you have a child in a wheelchair, for example, you can see that disability,” she says. “It’s very evident. It evokes sympathy. When you have a child with an emotional-behavioral challenge, a mental-health challenge, what our parents get is, ‘You should’ve disciplined them more. You’ve done this to your child.’”

Once the Southwest family roundtable gets going, Lefler says, a roundtable will be created for the city’s Northeast quadrant.

A light family meal is provided at each meeting, and transportation is available.

Trained intervention specialists are on hand to care for any children who attend.

Advance notice is required before attending a meeting; information’s available at 325-3145, Ext. 131.

Physical disabilities often evoke sympathy, says Melanie Funchess, director of community engagement for the Mental Health Association.

But behavioral and mental-health challenges frequently invite scorn. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Group pushes for Corbett’s Glen buffers It’s been a peaceful couple of years along Corbett’s Glen. The last development proposal that threatened to encroach on the park stalled in 2008, and a group dedicated to protecting the park wants to keep that peace.

That’s why the Allens Creek-Corbett’s Glen Preservation Group hired EDR — an environmental consulting and planning firm — to help develop a plan to preserve the glen and the areas surrounding it. The resulting document has been presented to Brighton and Penfield officials. (The park is primarily located in Brighton, but it lies along Penfield’s border.)

“We were trying to do something a little proactive instead of reactive,” says Jean Baric, a member of the preservation group.

The report provides town officials with recommendations for preserving the Lower Allens Creek Valley. That’s the area along the creek starting at I-490 in Brighton, passing through the glen, and ending at Irondequoit Creek near Panorama Trail and Penfield Road in Penfield.

Among the recommendations: purchasing undeveloped property, trying City

MARCH 30 - APRIL 5, 2011

to secure conservation easements on neighboring lots, and strengthening and enforcing specific zoning codes that protect environmental features. If development can’t be avoided, the town should encourage environmentally friendly site development, the report says.

The report also recommends establishing an intermunicipal planning council or committee to discuss zoning revisions and potential preservation funding. The group would also review development proposals that could affect the Lower Allens Creek Valley.

The plan’s impetus was a 2008 proposal to expand the Linden Hills office park, which is located at the edge of Corbett’s Glen Nature Park. The project stalled and the developer has since sold the property to Paychex.

The office-park proposal called for three additional buildings — there’s an office building there now — and expanded parking. The preservation group members along with glen users and neighbors opposed the project because, they said, it was too intense for the site.

One major concern was that increased runoff from the development could raise the temperature of Allens Creek or carry pollutants into it. The stream is an Irondequoit Creek tributary and its cool, clear water provides habitat for rainbow trout and spawning salmon.

In 1999, Brighton and Genesee Land Trust officials partnered to purchase and preserve the 18-acre Corbett’s Glen property. Another 35 acres were added later.

Citizen groups and government officials made preserving the property a priority starting in the 1970’s.

“One of the concerns we’ve had is the potential for adjacent development and the impact it may have on the glen,” Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel says.

Brighton officials haven’t received any development proposals for the Brighton portion of the Linden Hills property since the 2008 proposal, Frankel says. Since no proposals are pending, town officials can take the time necessary to review the plan’s recommendations, she says, and to consider any further action.

Three Flags, three locations [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

After a combined half-century of success between its two locations, Flaherty’s Three Flags Inn has opened a third location in Honeoye Falls. The original location opened more than 30 years ago in Webster (1200 Bay Road), followed a decade later by a location in Macedon (113 Pittsford-Palmyra Road).

“The owners [Terry and Tim Flaherty] had been looking for a third location for years,” says General Manager Terry Simpson. “And when they found this village property with great views of the creek near the falls they thought it was perfect.”

The menu offerings at the Honeoye restaurant are the same as what is served at the tried-and-true Macedon location (Webster’s menu features slight differences) including appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and entrees. The choices range from casual offerings to more upscale selections with influences from Irish, American, Italian, and other cuisines. Some of the most popular dishes include a traditional shepherd’s pie, a Guinness barbeque-and-bacon burger, and chicken or veal French.

Flaherty’s Three Flags Inn is located at 60 W. Main St. in Honeoye Falls. Prices range from $7 to $25. It is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.midnight and Sunday noon-midnight; the bar is open until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 497-7010 or visit flahertys.com.

Drink for a cause

The second annual RocCity Uncorked will take place on Friday, April 8. The event — which is sponsored by the Rotary Clubs

of Monroe County and benefits Sunshine Campus and Camp Haccamo, which offer camping experiences to children with physical and developmental disabilities — will be held in the Rochester Riverside Convention Center (123 E. Main St.) 7 p.m.-midnight. It will feature more than 70 wineries (set up as “virtual wine trails” throughout the large convention space), as well as food from 25 restaurants and a beer garden featuring several craft beers.

Standard tickets cost $60 and VIP tickets (which include entrance into the event at 5:30 p.m. for advance, one-on-one tastings) cost $100. They can be purchased at area Wegmans. For more information, visit roccityuncorked.org.

Cooking more with less

Making any changes to your diet can be hard, but removing an entire product from it — especially one as prevalent as gluten — can seem downright impossible. Whether you need to remove gluten from your diet for health reasons or you prefer to do it for nutrition’s sake, you may be interested in attending a series of courses designed to teach attendees about nutrition and alternative styles of cooking, including gluten- and dairy-free dishes.

Taught by local blogger and foodie Brittany Angell and Dr. Matthew Boheen of Restoration Wellness, each class in the six-week series offers an in-depth lecture or discussion, as well as a cooking demonstration, tasting, and a complimentary glass of organic wine. Some of the class subjects include converting recipes

After serving free meals to more than 350 people on both Thanksgiving and Christmas last year, Grimes wanted to find a bigger location where he could expand his restaurant in size, menu offerings, and amenities, including parking. The new location has also afforded Grimes the ability to expand his restaurants hours, which now include late-night hours from midnight to 3 a.m. on Saturdays. For more information, call 454-3885 or visit cjssouthernsoul.com.

Effective this week, Brio Bistro (3400 Monroe Ave.) is changing its name to Pomodoro Grill, making it the second location of Pomodoro Grill (the original is located at 1290 University Ave.).

In other name-changing news, Cipriani’s Italian Seafood (155 Pattonwood Drive) has changed its name to Carpani’s. According to owner Mario Tartaglia, the change is due to a lawsuit from a restaurant with the same name in New York City. Tartaglia assures fans of his establishment that the ownership, service, and menu will remain the same.

The George Eastman House focuses on the future FEATURE | BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

P

PHOTOS | BY MATT DETURCK

hotographer Dorothea Lange said that, “While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.”

To understand how important images are as cultural markers — as mirrors to humanity’s stories and actions — you only need to witness how popular photography and film have been since their inception. The George Eastman House is not a mere museum of photographs, or of early technology, says its director, Anthony Bannon. “This is really a museum of communication, and as such, a museum about life, about living — about how we come to name ourselves and know ourselves. And that’s a description of culture: naming and knowing,” he says.

Considering all of this, the George Eastman House’s offerings to Rochester — and to the world — are unparalleled. Its collections include a staggering 4 million objects of photography, film, and technology. Its galleries present educational and fascinating exhibitions to visitors year-round, and the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation provides graduatelevel education and was the first permanent school of film preservation in the world. And, of course, the house and gardens on East Avenue stand as an educational museum to the life and work of George Eastman.

A number of exciting developments have taken shape under the leadership of Bannon, who has been with the Eastman House since 1996. During his 15-year tenure, Bannon has seen the museum celebrate four anniversaries: the 60th anniversary of the George Eastman House (2009), the 100th anniversary of the building (built between 1902 and 1905), the 150th of George Eastman’s birth (2004), and earlier this month the 60th anniversary of the Dryden Theatre. Last year, the Eastman House “Roger Ballen: Photographs 1982-2009” exhibition was a finalist for a prestigious Lucie Award in the Curator/ Exhibition of the Year category.

Recent developments include exciting new collections acquisitions, crucial local and international alliances, opportunities to further conservation efforts through funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and game-changing future projects, including an innovative new online initiative. All of this will further solidify the museum’s role as a critical cultural institution.

10 City MARCH 30 - APRIL 5, 2011

Dr. Bannon is the seventh director of the

Eastman House, and has served longer than his predecessors. His background is rooted in academia: his book “Photo Pastoralists of Buffalo” won the American Photographic Historical Society’s merit award, and he earned the Gallaudet University Award for his writing on deafness (he is also a board member for the Rochester School for the Deaf). He worked as an art writer for Buffalo News, but when he developed an interest in writing about movies, he attended graduate school to learn how to make films. This led to an interest in photographs and architecture. He has organized exhibitions — Buffalo News “wanted the critics to practice what they preached,” he says — at the New York State Museum, Washington Project for the Arts, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and George Eastman House.

During Bannon’s time as director of the Eastman House, many impressive new acquisitions have been added to the museum’s collections and archives, including the Technicolor historic archive, the development of archives for the personal film collections of such directors as Kathryn Bigelow and Martin Scorsese, the Eastman Kodak Company advertising archive, and the swoon-worthy Edward Steichen archive, which includes 11,000 images, as well as previously unknown autochromes made by Steichen, the photographer, painter, and curator who worked alongside photographer and publisher Alfred Stieglitz.

In April 2010, the Eastman House announced the acquisition of the Merchant Ivory collection of 2600 elements, including more than 40 film titles, such as the Oscarwinning “A Room with a View,” “Howard’s End,” and “The Remains of the Day.” Personal relationships with individuals in film have benefitted the museum, but Eastman House is a power player when it comes to major international institutions, as well. “George Eastman was passionate about Rochester, but he was also passionate about the world,” says Bannon. “Being international is in our veins. It’s in our bloodstream from the beginning.”

During Bannon’s tenure, the Eastman House effected relationships with the Hermitage, with the Russian Museum of Ethnography, the Alinari Museum and Archives in Florence, with Ryerson University in Toronto, the International Center of Photography in New York City, and with preservationists and museums throughout Mexico and Central America. The Eastman

“There are so many ways to read George Eastman House,” says its director, Dr. Anthony Bannon. “A closer inspection would show that the library and the vaults of technology are the best in the world.”

House is currently working to organize satellite schools in Qatar and South Korea.

The Eastman House joined with the Museum of Vancouver for the 2009 “TruthBeauty” exhibition, and is currently working on a collaborative exhibit with multiple European partners on American sociologist and photographer Lewis Hine, Bannon says. Adding to a long list of partnerships, the Eastman House struck a partnership with the Chautauqua Institution last summer, developing a “Week on Photography” programming series that was available through the institution and online.

A newly forged alliance with the University of Rochester, announced in December 2010, “is a formalization of a long relationship with the University,” says Bannon. “Our curators have taught at the University from the early 1950’s.

The Society of Photographic Education was born here, with curator Nathan Lyons, who still lives in Rochester. Our relationship with the University of Rochester through another great Rochesterian, photographer Carl Chiarenza, is certainly notable.” If you visit the Univeristy of Rochester Libraries’ online Voyager catalog system, through which you can search and access books, journals, and more, you also visit the Eastman House, and vice versa.

But that’s all old news, says Bannon.

This newest development aims to “create an architecture that would hold an alliance going forward,” says Bannon. It includes a leadership committee between the UR and Eastman House of teachers and curators, who will develop joint ventures such as research programs for students and faculty, community service, and new courses, conferences, and summer institutes exploring preservation and the art and science of photography and motion pictures. They will raise money, and plan to protect intellectual property. “There is not an alliance that has the breadth that this one does. There are schools, museums, that do a couple of courses together, but no one in the country is prepared to work across disciplines and across the potential that we both have,” Bannon says.

Another notable recent union is the 360|365 George Eastman House Film Festival, an alliance between the 360|365 Film Festival (formerly the Rochester/High Falls International Film Festival) and the Eastman House. This year marks the second year of the new brand (the 2011 festival will take place April 27 through May 2), and highlights will include “Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff” and “Aftershock,” the Chinese continues on page 12

collection, and then see the final product in the photograph collection.”

“This museum is Mecca for people who are interested in the history of photography and the technology,” says Osterman, adding that “if you go to the archives, chances are you’ll see more people who have traveled all the way from Germany or Mexico or Japan down there doing research that you will find people from Rochester. [Rochesterians] need to know that they can come here and do research and look at images, and find out the age of their family photographs. Or how to take care of them.”

cinema epic story of a family separated by the Great Tangshan Earthquake of 1976.

Prior to the official merger, the Eastman House had been represented on the board of the festival for a decade. The festival now seeks to “discover and share the global richness of independent cinema, placed within the context of the history of cinema as expressed through the holdings in the Eastman House archive.”

The result is the only contemporary film festival aligned with a major archive, according to a 2009 Eastman House press release.

Another notable recent change at the museum

New opportunities through such partnerships

are exciting, but conservation of the museum’s own massive holdings are ever a hot topic.

In creating objects of memory for future generations to reflect upon, and in collecting objects that tell us about our past, we are faced with the reality of their impermanence. They break down. The Eastman House is dedicated to conservation, but precious little is known about preserving digital and electronic media.

This is a volatile field; among the problems are the inevitable and rapid obsolescence of many digital and electronic products.

“At one time we would wait until we knew thoroughly how to preserve something before we would take it into the collection,” says Bannon.

“That was the argument against collecting digital [elements]. That position is the measure of a much different time in which change happened slowly. Now that change is such a constant, we have to embark on media before we fully understand the ramifications of its preservation.”

For example, consider that Zip drives, which were in ubiquitous use not 10 years ago for the storage of digital art files, are rarely used today. Art files that were stored on the discs must find new homes, but when we migrate a work of art (to upgrade its format from an obsolete medium to a more current one, such as from VHS to DVD), we must accept that some changes in quality from the original may occur. Today, the Eastman House “collects while convening gatherings which will work out conservation solutions, and we must simultaneously share what we know as we begin to know it,” says Bannon.

In September 2010, the Eastman House received a $3 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the museum’s department of photograph conservation, with the understanding that the museum must raise $2 million in matching funds. The Eastman House is currently about two-thirds of the way to that goal and continues to seek support locally, regionally, and nationally.

“You only make friends with the Mellon Foundation if you’re invited to do so,” says Bannon. Beginning in 1999, the Mellon Foundation funded Eastman House’s Advanced Residency Program in Photograph Conservation for 10 years, allowing it to teach arcane techniques to 38 conservators representing 20 countries, per a 2010 Eastman House press release. The process historian for the ARP was 12 City MARCH 30 - APRIL 5, 2011

“Rochester audiences are unique in that it’s such a film culture with Kodak’s legacy,” says Lori Donnelly, new film programmer for the Dryden Theatre.

“There are very dedicated audiences here, maybe even moreso than in New York City.”

Mark Osterman, who currently teaches historic processes to members of the public at the museum, including artists and hobbyists. With the completion of the Mellon grant, he hopes to once again be able to teach conservators and build upon the conservation department.

“I originally came here in 1995 to teach workshops with my wife on the wet collodion process,” says Osterman, who taught the early photographic process to himself. “At that time, there had never been any modern workshops on how to do that process, and [there were] only about six to eight people known who could do it.” The 10-year program was made up of twoyear cycles, each cycle with about eight photo conservators from around the world. “My job was to take the knowledge that I already had, and build upon that, and teach that to the conservators. So I took the processes that I knew and went back in time and a little bit forward in time, so that by the time I was halfway through that program, I could teach everything from prephotographic techniques […] all the way up to making gelatin emulsions.”

“We’re in a transition period in the conservation lab,” says Osterman, referring to the Mellon challenge to match the grant. The funding would endow the entire lab, “which will pay for the head of the department and two working conservators, and probably me, although we’ll have to wait and see,” he says. “When endowment is in place, and we relaunch the conservation lab, I’ll be doing more experiments; I’ll be doing examples of things for the research conservators to test, so that we can publish our results about how things deteriorate.”

Osterman’s dream scenario is to create “a reproduction of a working 19th century skylight studio,” ideally in the Eastman

property next door that has a three-car garage.

Among the reasons to move the workshops from the basement of the museum to another building is that the workshops often produce noxious smells “that really aren’t appropriate in a museum,” he says. He also envisions a setup similar to that of Corning Museum of Glass: “A place where the public not only goes to a museum and sees what’s on the walls, but can take a walk through the garden into this building and actually see somebody doing real photography, which I think is important.”

At present, “the head of the conservation department is the only photo conservator, and she does all of the conservation for all the images going out, all the images going on display,” says Osterman. “And she needs help.

So we need the endowment to get back to having a fully functioning lab.”

There are many reasons why we should be concerned with the health of photo conservation.

One important reason is that in order to know how to conserve historic items, understanding how they are made is helpful. “Recently we had somebody attend one of our emulsion workshops from NASA,” says Osterman, proving that in looking at technology from 1890 we can “still find something that is useful or interpret it for another purpose.”

Osterman calls the Eastman House archives “an amazing resource,” which is “unique in that not only can you look at a film from our film collection and see the film stills, you can look at the equipment in the technology collection.

You can read someone describing how to do a process in the library, in the original form, see the equipment they used down in the technology

has a more direct impact on the film-loving public that visits its Dryden Theatre. When film programmer Jim Healy retired from the Dryden in November 2010, Lori Donnelly took over. Donnelly previously served as associate programmer for the American Film Institute Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in the Washington, D.C., area, where she programmed three screens, 365 days per year. At the Dryden, she programs a unique film for six nights out of every week.

Donnelly’s duties include interfacing with distributors, archives, and collectors. “A large part of the job is tracking down screenable, projectable 35mm prints,” she says. For instance, in honor of the death of actor Leslie Nielsen in November 2010, the Dryden will screen some of his classic comedies the first week in April, including the “Naked Gun” series and “Airplane!” “You’d think ‘Airplane!’ is a big enough title, where there would be a circulating 35mm print, but there wasn’t,” Donnelly says.

“I had a really hard time tracking one down.”

But Donnelly has other concerns than playing hide-and-seek with hidden reels.

“What cinematheques routinely talk about is how to get younger people in the theater.

I’m no different,” she says, and describes the balancing act of remaining true to popular classic programming, such as the successful Cary Grant series held at the Dryden in December, and “trying to get people in their 20s and 30s interested in repertoire cinema.” To that end, the Dryden recently had a sold-out showing of the Coen Brothers’ “The Big Lebowski,” and Donnelly has plans for presenting a Bette Davis series, as well as a “Modern Midnight Series” in May or June that will include modern American films for younger crowds. “I don’t think populism is a dirty word,” she says.

“Rochester audiences are unique in that it’s such a film culture with Kodak’s legacy,” says Donnelly. “There are very dedicated audiences here, maybe even moreso than in New York City.”

When filmmaker Ken Burns and author/ screenwriter Geoff Ward spoke to sold-out audiences at the museum last August, the “questions that were asked just blew them away,” says Bannon. “The people who come [to the Dryden] are very loyal, and I’m appreciative of that — their engagement is refreshing in a lot of ways,” says Donnelly. Her predecessor, Healy, served Dryden fans for 10 years, and “had a certain level of trust with the audiences here,” which she hopes to achieve as times goes on, she says.

The future holds much potential for the

Eastman House, and many local cinephiles believe that Hollywood should be paying attention. “Rochester is the root,” says Bannon, and he believes that it will play a more prominent role in film production in the future. “We have the leadership that guarantees it. If one just stops to think for a moment about the richness...this is almost a separate story. The work and commitment to motion pictures through the years — not only do we have history on our side, but we have excellence and people power.”

If the Eastman House is concerned about remaining relevant to local youth, it has embarked upon a solution: in 2005 the Eastman Young Professionals group was established, creating a sort of streetteam network of individuals between the ages of 23 and 45 who support George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film by raising awareness of the organization. “We have such fun,” says Bannon. “We party, but we also set ourselves apart by offering our members opportunities to involve ourselves in the question of leadership — what it means to be a leader.”

The Eastman Young Professionals group is currently engaged in the fundraising campaign to match the Mellon grant.

One of the newest, and ongoing, developments at the George Eastman House is the development of a new sort of virtual presence, which eventually will connect “many of the extraordinary things that we are now developing internally on our site, while simultaneously connecting the site [to] the presence of others outside,” says Bannon. “You can see the beginnings of it right now” says Bannon, by visiting notesonphotographs.org, which he calls “the first blossoms” of the project.

The mission statement on the site provides that it serves as “a tool for communication among students, historians, collectors, curators, conservators, archivists, practitioners, and the interested public […] an international forum for gathering information that enhances the communal understanding of the photographic print.”

The wiki is split into easy-to-navigate sections that explain how to determine that your prized photograph is authentic, based on signature, stamps, and other distinguishing characteristics; the key attributes of specific photographers, processes, and materials used to create images; proper conservation; and more.

“Art, education, and the creation of culture are all processes of discovery and as pathways to discovery,” says Bannon.

“We must, along that path, be in a place where we don’t have sure footing, or else there is nothing to discover. If we know thoroughly what the footing is, we’ve been there before, or it is so totally predictable as not to yield education.”

but Rachel Orke and Matt O’Brian have pressed on since leaving local roots-reggae outfit Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, and in April 2010 formed Thunder Body. To commemorate that change and the subsequent forging of new interests, the now-quintet is celebrating with a birthday show on April Fool’s Day. Operating within a reggae/funk vibe, the group has enlisted support from local groups that are all over the stylistic map, so look for Walri, Sports, Roots Collider, and other local bands to share the bill. — BY DAVE LABARGE

[ review ] by frank de blase

Despite the myriad influences that color his style, Bobby Henrie has, for the most part hovered around two: rockabilly with the Goners, and gypsy jazz with the Djangoners.

I’ve seen both groups a number of times, but it wasn’t until I heard Henrie Wednesday, March 23, at the Dinosaur that I realized the two styles are bleeding into one another, breeding a third. When slinging with the Goners in tow, Henrie’s slap-backed twang is punctuated subtly by minor flourishes and fills a la the gypsy-guitar king. When flying through a café jazz excursion, he’ll occasionally (and perhaps unknowingly) throw in a little bop-twang a la Paul Burlison. It’s a hybrid that totally works, regardless of which style dominates. Call it gypsybilly, call it Django-twango, call it cool.

In most cases, the longer a band sticks together, the better it gets. Yes, some descend into chaos and fall apart, but usually time put in yields some reward.

Bands grow, bands get better. Rarely have I seen a band improve so much in such a short time as Philo Beddoe. Don’t get me wrong; the band was good to begin with, its focus mainly on drinking beer and playing sawdust and longneck rock ’n’

roll. Now it’s done gone and added Brian Mason (of BML fame) to what is now a quartet. If anyone qualifies as too good, it’s Mason — this guy can shred. PB singerguitarist Todd Krasz is no slouch himself, and with Mason raising the bar, this has become an amazing guitar-driven quartet.

The plan was to catch a few songs Saturday night down at Monty’s Krown, have a few laughs, go one round on the dance floor, and then split for some other shows. But Philo Beddoe had me glued, baby. The mixture of Mason’s supersonic, pentatonic shredding and Krasz’s gutbucket raunch ’n’ twang was beautiful. And Krasz’s rumbling, roaring baritone sounds like it’s coming from someone a whole lot wider than this lanky cat. Mixed in with their own stuff, the boys hit on The Bottlerockets, ZZ Top, and a version of Hayes Carll’s “She Left Me for Jesus” that still has me cracked up.

Dang! warmed up this Upper Monroe hoedown with some nice harmonies, some slick guitar, and a clever twist on virtually every song’s time signature. Dang’s material is from an era when flattops and bouffants and hard liquor ruled the country airways.

In my head, they still do.

Lickers is probably better known for his

New local rock outfit Vinyl Orange Ottoman was founded in part by former members of BML and Tell the Cold Wall. PHOTO PROVIDED

The hardness of simplicity Vinyl Orange Ottoman Saturday, April 9 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 9 p.m. | $6 | 325-5600 reverbnation.com/vinylorangeottoman [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

It never gets old, this whole playing in a band thing — getting up on stage, sweating it up, and pouring it out for the crowd. For veteran Rochester rockers Ronnie Lickers (BML, Tell The Cold Wall) and Peter Griffith (Dirty Bourbon Blues Band), this isn’t their first time at the rodeo. Or their second. In all probability it won’t be their last.

Griffith and Lickers formed Vinyl Orange Ottoman (the name was pilfered from a BML tune of the same name) in the winter of 2009, bringing together seasoned musicians with a similar focus and drive. Once the smoke cleared and the line-up solidified, Vinyl Orange Ottoman ended up with Lickers on drums, Griffith on vocals, Brady Hoover and Noah Swartele on guitars, and Gopi Joaquim on bass.

16 City MARCH 30 - APRIL 5, 2011

Vinyl Orange Ottoman’s music is heavy, melodic rock with hints of the blues and soul. It’s loose with a kind of reckless gallop.

It is structurally unique — I swear some of the songs have two bridges. Griffith’s gruff voice burns and pleads as the band rolls with a broad focus and a certain degree of unpredictability. That’s likely due to the band’s newness and its adherence to democracy. Lots of bands preach it, but few carry it out: there’s always a leader. That was clearly not the case in Vinyl Orange Ottoman’s early rehearsals, though Lickers is the de facto mouthpiece.

“The first few months,” Lickers says, “we just went up there [and asked], ‘Do you have a riff? Do you have a riff? I have a riff.’ With this band I can take what I know best, drums, and have input — because so many bands the guitar player is the songwriter. In this band everyone’s the songwriter. When we say everyone’s involved, we’re not kidding.”

“It’s us feeding off each other,” says Griffith.

Enthusiasm is also universal within the band. Griffith and Lickers both fidget excitedly when they talk about Ottoman.

Lickers is almost as giddy as a schoolgirl, even though he speaks in a voice so husky it could pull a dogsled.

drumming in BML, a mind-blowing progressive trio that broke up in 2008. He then picked up a guitar to form the song-centric and rootsy group Tell The Cold Wall. The band never quite fulfilled Lickers expectations and never really got off the ground.

“I was frustrated,” he says. He 86’d the band and moved on. Vinyl Orange Ottoman is not a continuation of Tell The Cold Wall, Lickers says.

“This is completely on its own,” he says.

“Because I’m a drummer, that’s what I grew up doing. I’m back behind the drums. I think I’m a better drummer than anything. But I love songwriting. So I get to play the drums and give these guys riffs or ideas for songs.”

Griffith had known Lickers for years and kept on him to get back in the saddle.

“I was like, ‘Dude, c’mon and play some f**kin’ drums.’”

With his duties pared down considerably compared to BML, Lickers — along with the rest of the Vinyl Orange crew — can really get down to the songs.

“Songwriting has always intrigued me,” he says. “It’s so hard. It’s like, ‘How does this intertwine with this? How does this intertwine with that?’ You can write 50 [songs] and only use two.”

The band recently recorded its debut, self-titled album at Finger Lakes Community College, produced by The Hit Factory’s Jon Belec. Based on the music on the disc, Vinyl Orange Ottoman is essentially a rock ’n’ roll Hail Mary pass.

With contributions coming in from all sides, nothing is guaranteed — almost.

“It’s definitely a rock thing,” says Griffith.

“But there was never really any discussion. I think we knew we were going for the rock form.”

And even though the band’s sound breathes hot and intense, it’s still irresistibly alluring and welcoming. “We’re not too serious,” Lickers says. “We’re not political. We deal with stuff like everybody else; you’re happy, your heart is broke, you’re sad or you’re glad.”

“Or,” says Griffith, “you’re happy and feel like doing the hammer during the bridge because that’s what I do. I want to make people smile.”

As the band develops before its own eyes, its mantra may become more apparent.

Until then, the journey it’s on should prove to be fascinating.

“I feel like we’re a baby band,” says Lickers.

“We haven’t hit our stride yet.”

That’s debatable. Sure, there’s room for growth. But the simplicity amidst the composition’s complexity still thrives.

“It’s the hardness of simplicity,” Lickers says. “That’s really what it is.”

FIRST INDIE ROCK | Child Bite

Detroit, perhaps more than any other place in America, is responsible for producing a lot of great music. So when a band from the Motor City is in town, it at least seems to carry a bit more swagger. Child Bite describes its sound as experimental indie rock. While the group’s unconventional sound may not appeal to the masses immediately, Child Bite taps into the universal reservoir of musical genius with songs like songs like “Odd Inn.” In 2011, the readers of Real Detroit Weekly voted Child Bite best live band. Fortunately, the group voted best band by readers, Prussia, is also sharing the bill. Here’s your shot to see two of Detroit’s finest. King Vitamin opens.

JAZZ | Cuong Vu Trio

Can a jazz trio fill a concert hall with the huge sound of a Cream-like power trio? Cuong Vu can. Using loops and electronic effects, Vu takes the trumpet places it’s never been before. Pat Metheny won two Grammy Awards for albums with Vu as a major player in the band. Among the other musicians who have enlisted his talent are Laurie Anderson and David Bowie. Joining him at Kilbourn Hall will be the dynamic bassist Stomu Takeshi and the extraordinary young drummer (and Eastman alum) Ted Poor. The concert is the culmination of a residency that also involves a workshop on Wednesday, March 30, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and another concert with Eastman students Thursday, March 31, at 8 p.m. Both of those free events take place in Hatch Recital Hall.

ACOUSTIC/FOLK | Harvey Reid

They refer to him as the “master minstrel” and as a capo pioneer. For the past 35 years, guitarist Harvey Reid has crisscrossed the nation, playing all manner of venues from street corners to folk festivals. Known as a master fingerstyle player, Reid is also an accomplished flat picker. In 1996, Acoustic Guitar Magazine voted his “Steel Drivin’ Man” LP as one of the 10 essential folk CDs of all time, putting him in the company of luminaries like Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez. In addition to this concert, Reid will also be giving a workshop titled “The Mysteries of the Partial Capo with Harvey Reid” on Sunday, April 3, 1-3 p.m., at Stutzman’s Guitar Center ($18-$20; call 352-3225).

JAZZ | Take 6

Take 6 may have started as a gospel a cappella sextet at an Alabama college, but over the past three decades the group has developed into much more. Gospel continues to be a strong presence in its devotional music, and as the underpinning for renditions of R&B tunes. But 30 years of creating music through only voice has given birth to some breathtakingly creative techniques going well beyond beatbox and faux bass. It’s no wonder the group’s intricate voicings and kinetic stage presence (not to mention its 10 Grammy Awards) have attracted collaborators like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and Whitney Houston.

world of business partnerships and countryclub memberships. The image of their aspiration is the game of golf; when Hicks gets back his stolen clubs, his embrace of the leather bag borders on the sexual.

Soon, though, Wilks learns that they do not own the house at 1839 Wylie. Instead it belongs to Old Joe and traces back to Aunt Ester, a former slave and “washer of souls,” who died in 1985 at the amazing age of 366. Old Joe is her worthy heir. The dispute over the house’s ownership drives the plot as it tests Wilks’ determination to redefine himself as an American who happens to be black. Ultimately, though, the plot is less about self-definition than redemption.

About halfway through the second act, someone announces prophetically, “You have to have that center. Without that center, everything caves in.” That center has been lacking in Harmond Wilks.

Until the second half of the second act, the

August Wilson’s incantatory riff “Radio Golf ” Through April 17 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd. $22-$59 | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] by Michael Lasser

Just a block up the street from the shabby office that serves as the only set in August Wilson’s “Radio Golf,” a wrecking crew stands ready to demolish the abandoned house at 1839 Wylie in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. The play, set in 1997, is the last in Wilson’s remarkable Pittsburgh Cycle about African-American life in the 20th century. Its current production at Geva Theatre (along with an upcoming reading of “King Hedley II,” the cycle’s penultimate work) completes Geva’s admirable five-year undertaking as the first theater to perform all 10 plays in the order in which they occur, one play for each decade of the century.

Like most of the other nine plays, “Radio Golf” is profane and funny. Even though it is also repetitive, it is extraordinarily powerful when its black characters confront history — their own and their people’s. What starts as realistic drama soon rises to poetry, an

incantatory riff that, to quote Robert Frost, “begins in delight and ends in wisdom.” Yet the play is not as successful as some others in the cycle — “Fences” and “The Piano Lesson,” for instance. The unexpressive language of its central character lacks any music at all. Realestate developer and Cornell graduate Harmond Wilks has mastered the toneless speech of the boardroom and business lunch. Even when it’s accurate, it’s not very interesting to listen to.

Fortunately there is another character — like the griots of Western Africa — whose rambling recitations treat memory and history as if they remain alive. By the 1990’s in Pittsburgh, though, the wise man, Elder Joseph Barlow known as Old Joe (the brilliant Thomas Jefferson Byrd), has a long rap sheet. But as he talks, his arms wind through the air in a mesmerizing dance as he answers straightforward questions with discursive stories, the reciting of dates, and the revelation of truths — if Wilks can learn how to listen in time.

Wilks and his partner, Roosevelt Hicks, are ready to replace some “raggedy old” houses with a new development, including a strip of stores to house Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and Starbucks. This deal is also their entrée into a prosperous white

center has also been lacking in the play. Richard Brooks, the well-known television actor (“Law & Order”) who plays Wilks, is so passive that he sometimes seems to be barely listening. It’s hard to know for certain if the problem lies in the acting, Wilson’s writing, or Timothy Bond’s direction. Even though Brooks was the original Wilks in the play’s first production in 2006, he clutters his performance at Geva with the kinds of gestures — standing arms akimbo or shoving his hands in his pockets — that suggest an actor who is tentative and ill at ease rather than immersed in a character. Most egregiously, in a scene of sexy nuzzling, he rubs his wife’s thigh with one hand but keeps the other in his pocket. Their kisses feel like quick pecks between distant acquaintances.

Fortunately, the play has outstanding performances by Byrd as Old Joe and LeLand Gantt as Sterling Johnson, a wily, intelligent contractor and con man. He contributes to Wilks’ awareness by defining the difference between what he calls “a nigger” and “a Negro.” The moment is tense, funny, and revealing. Soon after, when Wilks confronts his past to determine what kind of man he wants to be, Brooks finally brings him to life with roaring conviction.

Hicks, played by the ebullient G. Valmont Thomas, and Wilks’ wife, played too quietly

by Crystal Fox, are more foils than characters.

Both want to escape The Hill; they represent what Wilks eventually rejects.

As always, though, the heart of a play

by August Wilson lies in the richness of its language and the capacity of metaphor to translate what people think and feel into evocative speech. It takes Harmond Wilks as played by Richard Brooks too long to get there, but get there eventually he does.

ART EVENT | pARTy: 175 Years at Brockport

On Friday, April 1, at 7 p.m., The College at Brockport will continue the celebration of its 175th anniversary with a one-night arts festival “pARTy,” with music and artwork galore in the Tower Fine Arts Center (180 Holley St., Brockport). Included in the evening’s events are 10- to 12-minute performances taking place in the Mainstage, the Black Box Theatre, in the lobby, and on the front steps of the building. On display in the Tower Gallery will be “E.E. Cummings: Painter and Poet,” an exhibition of restored artworks by the lower-case-loving poet, accompanied by readings of Cummings’ poetry by a quartet representing the students, faculty, and a former faculty member from the Brockport Department of Theatre. Also see “Recollection,” (pictured) a commissioned photography project about the Brockport campus and its surroundings by artist and alumnus Matt Walker.

Throughout the evening, you can enjoy food, music, hear monologues performed by theater-department alumni, view performances of “Possible Weather,” a site-specific dance choreographed by guest artist Monica Bill Barnes, a sequence from “The Dancing Spider” (produced by the college’s Arts for Children program), rhythm-tap choreography by visiting professor/guest artist Bill Evans, and an encore of “Gayby’s Playdate,” the audience choice award-winner from this year’s “Festival of Ten,” and much more.

Tickets are required for the free celebration, and can be obtained by calling 395-2451.

“Cindy,” part of Margaret Le Jeune’s “The Modern Day Diana” series of female-hunter portraits, now showing at University of Rochester’s Hartnett Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED

Shooting the shooters “The Modern Day Diana”

By Margaret Le Jeune Through April 10 Hartnett Gallery, Wilson Commons, UR River Campus 275-4188, blogs.rochester.edu/hartnett Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday noon-5 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Many feminist artists approach their work with a predetermined answer about women’s experience, creating art about the amorphous “female,” and thereby telling a limited truth, and alienating a portion of the female population. For her new and ongoing series “The Modern Day Diana,” Arkansas-based photographer and educator Margaret Le Jeune instead stumbled upon a simple question and allows the complicated answers to spring forth from her diverse subjects. The series is a collection of portraits of female hunters in the United States, and a selection of 22 of the images is currently on display at the Hartnett Gallery at the University of Rochester.

At her artist talk earlier this month, Le Jeune presented a slideshow lecture that revealed her early interest in gender studies and feminist art while studying at Nazareth College and at Visual Studies Workshop. Her bodies of work moved from a series examining what is culturally expected of women in 26 City march 30 - april 5, 2011

terms of their outer beauty and the usage of their bodies, to the fascinating act of getting individual men to shed tears for her lens.

The new series takes its name from the Roman goddess of the hunt, who in myth was dedicated to chastity and fairly hot-tempered.

While bathing in the woods, Diana was spied by human hunter Acteon, whom she then turned into a stag, and he was chased down and devoured by his own hunting dogs. As a cultural hero, Diana was admired for her grace and skill with the bow, but she was still anomalous in her time — gender roles for women were strictly defined by their biology and female mythic heroes often broke into the male realm only through modestly denying their biology.

Le Jeune first conceived of this project when

she assigned a project for her Arkansas students to take self-portraits. Seven of 11 returned with images of themselves hunting or with guns, introducing Le Jeune to one of the ways in which her new community differed from her roots in Western New York. The schools shut down on the first day of hunting season, the artist says, as parents would take their children, male and female, out to hunt. Five-year-olds would be featured in newspapers with their first kill. Le Jeune spied an interesting story therein, and got to work.

“These portraits question the relationship between the domestic sphere, traditionally the woman’s space, and the hunting world, a typically masculine realm,” says the gallery’s press release. Modern women hunters are depicted in their homes or hunting lodges,

surrounded by elements of the hunt, including rifles, bows and arrows, animal pelts, stag heads, and rows of competition ribbons.

The first portrait in the series is “Allyn,” the artist’s non-hunter co-worker who owns mounted boar’s and deer’s heads. Le Jeune created this image in order to have an example of what she wanted to do to show female hunters who didn’t know and didn’t necessarily trust her intentions. Was she PETA, they wanted to know? Was she pro-gun control? One woman offered Le Jeune venison, and watched her eat it before she was allowed into the house.

Le Jeune walks into shoots cold, she says, unaware of what she will find, and spends hours looking and interacting with the subject in her environment, before finding the shot she wants. The artist makes choices in framing but not in posing, and very rarely moves anything in the environment. The classical portrait style, combined perhaps with the relative unease of posing for a stranger, makes for rather stiff looking subjects, but representative of the individual nonetheless. Where there is strength or masculinity, it shows; where there is vulnerability or girliness, it is evident; but most portraits fall somewhere between those poles.

Most viewers will confront in themselves a

certain level of expectation of stereotypes, and be surprised by the huge variety of women who engage in the hunt. The artist herself states that her mind was blown every time. Most got into the sport through a man in their lives — either a father hunter with no sons or a husband they wanted to spend more time with — and one or two subjects taught their daughters. These instances are seen in “Robin and Rose,” a mother and adult daughter seated holding rifles and surrounded by beautifully taxidermied animal remains, and in another picture in which Angela and her pre-teen daughter Remington stand holding large and mini bows in the shade of a giant tree.

The women range from taxidermists to school teachers, stay-at-home moms to a state comptroller. Some hunt for sport, others prefer to only eat meat from their own kills. Some of the more fascinating, unexpected portraits include “Martha,” a pretty and diminutive, independently wealthy blonde who reclines across a zebra skin on a chaise lounge. Martha is a member of the international Divas Network, a group of women who arrange group trips including safaris, and who prefer to hunt in tiaras and rhinestones.

Le Jeune’s project will continue until she reaches her goal of about 50 to 75 images, from which she plans to make a book, which should be an absorbing read. A feminist artist who does not focus on one predetermined state of women, but instead looks at women and how they choose to live, does much for our education, in terms of showing what individuals can be, if they simply let themselves be.

ART EVENT | Warehouse Silent Auction

Emerging artists need all the help they can get, with regards to resources, space, publicity, and networking. Too few academic institutions offer practical courses in making it as an artist on the outside, so many creative types have to rely on instinct, initiative, and catching the attention of people who want to help them along. So it’s exciting to see small-scale, independent organizations that are interested in facilitating local arts.

Warehouse Arts is a Rochester-based arts group devoted to providing a community-oriented studio space for Rochester artists, musicians, and writers. The group plans to provide facilities and services, including a fully equipped multimedia art studio, group and individual writing areas, private studio spaces, a gallery, gift shop, and a stage. Classes and workshops will be taught by Warehouse Arts members or field specialists recruited by the membership.

A fundraising silent auction will be held to support Warehouse Arts this Friday, April 1, at the Flying Squirrel Community Space (258 Clarissa St.). Bidding takes place 6-9 p.m. More than 40 auction items have been donated by local artists and businesses including the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, MicroSolutions, Laurels Design Salon, and the Memorial Art Gallery. Enjoy live music from local musicians while you check out the craft table with items for sale.

THEATER | “Black Girls Anthem”

Many of the women in my family believe that females would be running this world, if we would only be kinder to one another.

One of the most underrated and yet effective tools of selfempowerment is the act of compassionately bearing witness to others, and finding parallels in experience. This week, Geva Theatre Center will host MJS Productions for the first time at Geva Nextstage (75 Woodbury Blvd.) with three performances of “Black Girls’ Anthem.” This dynamic “choreopoem” weaves together poetry, music, dance, and drama to explore and celebrate themes of motherhood, relationships, sisterhood, love, empowerment, self-esteem, legacy, and more.

The production was penned and produced by Melany J. Silas, an author and assistant professor at Monroe Community College who also appears in the show. Directed by Kate Washington and featuring local actors Degwanda (Dede) Gause, Deborah Solomon, Carlet Cleare, NaTasha House, and Katrina L. McFadden, the production appears at Geva as part of the “Celebrating August” series of performances by local performing arts groups coinciding with the Mainstage production of “Radio Golf,” the finale of Geva’s five-year “August Wilson’s American Century” Series.

Performances take place Friday, April 1, and Saturday, April 2, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, April 3, at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $15-$20, and can be purchased by calling 232-4382 or by visiting gevatheatre.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | Deaf Rochester Film Fest 2011

Despite the prominent presence of schools and institutions for deaf culture, Rochester’s large deaf community often remains cut off from communication with the non-signing public. But where there’s art, there is a bridge for any divide. The Deaf Rochester Film Festival, which has taken place biennially since 2005, is dedicated to enabling deaf and hard-of-hearing filmmakers to showcase their artistic and creative talents, and increasing awareness about issues deaf and hard-of-hearing filmmakers face in the industry.

From Thursday, March 31, through Sunday, April 3, the Deaf Rochester Film Festival will take place at various sites, including RIT, ArtisanWorks, George Eastman House, and the Little Theatre, and will include screenings, panel discussions, workshops, a book sale and other events.

The schedule, which can be found online at deafrochesterfilmfestival.org, is tentative and is subject to change. Tickets for events range in price from free to $25, or $63 for a full festival pass, and can be purchased at the door. All events will be spoken-word interpreted for hearing audiences. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY auditions for actors ages 1318 for roles in AR Gurney’s “The Dining Room.” Penfield Community Recreation Center, 1985 Baird Rd, Penfield.

The dark landscapes of fantasy [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Sucker Punch” (PG-13), directed by Zack Snyder Now playing

The fact that Zack Snyder previously directed such visually arresting pictures as “300,” “Dawn of the Dead,” and most recently, “Watchmen,” explains the strange and special nature of his new movie, the oddly (and badly) titled “Sucker Punch.” Whatever else it accomplishes, the movie exhibits the artistic ambition of a most unusual filmmaker with a remarkable sense for the visual possibilities in contemporary cinema.

Eastview 13 425-0420 Eastview Mall, Victor ADJUSTMENT BUREAU: 1:55, 4:35, 7:05, 10:05; BATTLE: LOS ANGELES: 2:10, 4:55, 7:35, 10:25; DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2: 1:45, 2:15, 4:15, 4:45, 7:15, 7:45, 9:45, 10:15; HOP: 1:30, 2, 4, 4:30, 7, 7:30, 9:30, 10; INSIDIOUS: 1:25, 4:10, 7:10, 9:40; LIMITLESS: 1:15, 5, 7:50, 10:30; LINCOLN LAWYER: 1:40, 4:40, 7:25, 10:10; RANGO: 1:20, continues on page 32

“Sucker Punch” begins like a dark graphic novel, another sort of “Watchmen,” with a montage of images providing a silent exposition that creates the central situation of the film.

Two young sisters endure the death of their mother, followed by the abuse of a slobbering beast of a stepfather, who kills the younger one, and frames the elder, played by Emily Browning, committing her to a Gothic horror of an insane asylum. There, while awaiting a lobotomy, she apparently creates another world in her imagination, where she and several fellow inmates undertake a bold plan that will enable them to flee the asylum.

That alternative reality she dreams up depends on a kind of allegorical fantasy, in which the concrete facts of her existence take on a new existence and she and her friends fight a series of battles with an army of dreadful foes based on the characters in one or another version of her world. The asylum becomes a weird brothel where she is known as Baby Doll, staffed by

stylized versions of the patients and the sadistic medical personnel; from there she travels to other places, tenebrous wastelands, perilous countries populated by monsters and menaces.

A wise old man (Scott Glenn), a character drawn from myth, appears in various guises in all the alternate worlds Baby Doll visits; initially, as a Zen master, he warns her of a quest she must undertake for some important objects and arms her with a sword and a pistol. With those weapons she fights her first battle with a trio of gigantic samurai warriors; after that, her four friends join her in ever more fantastic fights against armies of fiends and fabulous beasts.

Constantly shifting among a variety of settings — the gloomy, squalid asylum, the tawdry brothel, the nightmarish landscapes of the battle sequences — the movie constantly balances puzzle and dazzle, never bothering to clarify its strange logic. The various characters turn up in different versions of themselves as the scenes and sequences accumulate, with the squad of female fighters bearing appropriate weapons for whatever particular enemy they confront.

One combat sequence places Baby Doll and her team in the trenches of World War I, where they shoot up a whole army of reanimated corpses. In another, based on another war, they fly a B-17 in a bombing raid against a fortress full of enemy soldiers, with an amazing aerial dogfight between the bomber and a dragon. In

another, more contemporary battle, they fly a helicopter on a mission to disarm a bomb on a speeding train, fighting off robots all the while.

All the elements work together in “Sucker Punch” to create and sustain the illusion of all the bizarre worlds the characters inhabit. Every detail in what passes for reality inspires a parallel in one of the other versions of that reality, so that for example, an ornate cigarette lighter embellished with a dragon becomes the actual dragon of the fantasy world, breathing the fire that Baby Doll must find to complete her quest.

Just about all the cinematic methods the director employs — lighting, set decoration, animation, camera movement, and so forth — work together to create not only meaning but also atmosphere, the real point of the movie.

Surprisingly, the film’s murky, twisted vision of the 1950’s merges smoothly with the seedy, dark Gothic of the asylum and the tinsel glitter of the brothel. The several battle sequences should astonish even viewers weary of the contemporary practice of substituting special effects for anything like actual content.

Finally, in many ways “Sucker Punch” provides a refreshing variation on the usual male-fantasy action flick. This one shows exploited young women discovering within themselves the resources to fight fiercely against a hostile world, finding, in that tiresome fashionable word, empowerment.

A man and a woman stand in the dim but cozy kitchen, their backs to each other as they wordlessly prepare a meal.

Movies have conditioned us to assume that when two people co-exist without talking, they’re a couple, and probably an unhappy one at that. But that’s the first tweak of our lazy expectations by Aaron Katz’s “Cold Weather”; the next scene reveals Doug (Cris Lankenau) and Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn) to be siblings, and as their parents ask parenty questions over the ensuing dinner, we’re subtly debriefed on their current circumstances as well as their dynamic. The laid-back Doug and his slightly domineering sister now share an apartment in their native Portland following Doug’s decision to leave college

in Chicago, where he studied forensic science. She works. He’s a bit lost.

Doug soon has a job at an ice factory (“I didn’t even know there were ice factories,” Gail muses), which allows for the introduction of new friend and coworker Carlos (Raúl Castillo) as well as Doug’s foreshadowing confession that, despite his schooling, Doug isn’t interested in “CSI”-type stuff: “I wanna be more like Sherlock Holmes.” Then Doug’s exgirlfriend, Rachel (Robyn Rikoon), shows up, claiming to be in town on business, and we’re thrown our second curveball, when what seemed to be unfolding as yet another self-conscious slacker love triangle zags in the previously uncharted but intriguing direction of mumblecore mystery. Writer-director-editor Katz takes his sweet damn time in actually getting to the film’s central plot, his own ambling (at time frustratingly so) vibe mirroring that of our story’s initially aimless hero.

To be honest, the mystery end of things, facilitated by Rachel’s disappearance, seems a little forced at first, as Carlos appears to completely overreact when she fails to show for his DJ set. (Doug’s annoyed response, however, is pitch-perfect.) But all is forgiven in the following scene, which watches as the irritated Doug and the agitated Carlos don their proverbial deerstalkers to suss the clues out of Rachel’s abandoned hotel room, crossing paths with an understandably puzzled desk clerk. And once the comparative action kicks in with Doug’s calm delivery of a surprisingly spine-tingling line (“Do not react to anything I’m about to tell you,” he tells Carlos after he spots the first sign that something may be amiss), Katz is somehow able to juggle the elements of film noir, understated comedy, and family drama in a mostly satisfying way.

Bolstered by an atmospheric score that occasionally channels both a jackin-the-box and a chatty radiator, the natural performances are compelling in

their simplicity, with Lankenau especially charming in Doug’s newfound purpose as he runs out to buy the necessary pipe before he can properly investigate. The deliberate pacing and abrupt tonal shifts might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but if, like me, you love a good Sherlock Holmes reference, appreciate resourceful filmmaking (this film is much lovelier than it needs to be), and are fascinated by the prickly, retrograde connection between adults who share DNA rather than swap it, then “Cold Weather” is definitely worth your time. And hopefully you don’t require much in the way of an ending, because this one would test even the patience of Dr. Watson.

Saskatchewan’s Leslie Nielsen was

a serious actor for 30 years before the success of 1980’s stupidly clever disaster spoof “Airplane!” provided him with a second act that enabled him to make audiences laugh for the next 30, until his death last November. The Dryden honors the late Mr. Nielsen with an April Fool’s Day double feature of “Airplane!” and 1988’s equally idiotic (a compliment) “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” which brought his bumbling yet ultimately effective TV cop Lieutenant Frank Drebin to the big screen.

More than two decades later that dopey “Naked Gun” humor still holds up, even seeming borderline topical as the film opens with the disguised Drebin punching out Gaddafi, Amin, Arafat, and Gorbachev before heading back to L.A. to find out who tried to kill his partner.

Cue some of cinema’s silliest sight gags and double entendres (as well as some of the worst driving), brought to life by a wide constellation of stars, including Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, George Kennedy, and retired football legend O.J. Simpson, back when his only crime was being a really bad actor.

Leslie Nielsen Double Feature!

AIRPLANE! and THE NAKED GUN Friday, April 1, 8 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.; Sunday, April 3, 4:30 and 6:15 p.m.

The late Leslie Nielsen put his classic deadpan to great use in this pair of films.

The disaster movie satire Airplane! stars Nielsen as a doctor on a plane full of fish-poisoned passengers. In The Naked Gun, Nielsen’s LAPD lieutenant uncovers an assassination plot masterminded by arch-criminal Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban). (Airplane!: Zucker, Abrahams & Zucker, US 1980, 87 min.; Naked Gun: David Zucker, US 1988, 85 min.)

ENTER THE VOID Saturday, April 2, 8 p.m.

Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

April Fools’ Day!

An expat American in Japan gets blasted into the beyond, but his spirit remains as a guardian to his troubled sister. Enter the Void seemingly violates the laws of physics as its camera glides and swoops through the strip clubs, back alleys, and love hotels of the Tokyo underworld. No one under 18 admitted. (Gaspar Noé, France 2009, 161 min.)

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com. [ OPENING ] AIRPLANE!/THE NAKED GUN (1980/1988): The first in this double-feature starring the late comedy legend Leslie Nielsen famously mocks every disaster movie in the funniest ways possible, while the second finds Nielsen’s inept Lt. Frank Drebin on the big screen, hoping to thwart the assassination of Queen Elizabeth II. Dryden (Fri, Apr 1, 8 p.m., and Sun, Apr 3, 4:30 p.m.)

BAMBERG: A TOWN BUILT ON BEER (NR): This documentary explores the brew-centric history of a Bavarian town that has been passionately filling mugs for the last 900 years. Little DOUBLE SUICIDE (1969): Masahiro Shinoda’s tragedy about the forbidden love between a paper merchant and a courtesan in 18th-century Japan acknowledges its roots as a 1720 stage play with puppeteers and set changes.

Dryden (Wed, Mar 30, 8 p.m.)

ENTER THE VOID (2009): Gaspar Noé films his dizzying follow-up to 2002’s “Irreversible” entirely as POV, telling the story of an expatriate American whose spirit watches over his sister after he’s murdered during a drug deal.

Dryden (Sat, Apr 2, 8 p.m.)

THE FORTUNE COOKIE (1965): Billy Wilder directs the inaugural pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in this comedy featuring Lemmon as an injured

cameraman and Matthau as the underhanded brother-inlaw who ropes him into an insurance scam. Dryden (Thu, Mar 31, 8 p.m.)

HOP (PG): Russell Brand provides the voice of the Easter Bunny’s teen son in this blend of animation and live action that chronicles E.B.’s journey to Hollywood, where he plans to become a rock star.

With James Marsden, Gary Cole, and Elizabeth Perkins. Brockport, Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Greece, Henrietta, Tinseltown, Webster INSIDIOUS (PG-13): Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne star in this horror flick from “Saw” director James Wan as parents trying to keep evil forces away from their comatose son. Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Greece, Henrietta, Tinseltown, Webster SOURCE CODE (PG-13): Director Duncan Jones follows up his 2009 debut “Moon” with a twisty sci-fi thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier wrestling with a technology that traps him in a “Groundhog Day” kind of loop while he hunts for a bomber.

With Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, and Jeffrey Wright.

Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Greece, Henrietta, Pittsford, Tinseltown, Webster WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD? (1932): George Cukor directs this pre-Code version of “A Star Is Born,” with Constance Bennett as a Brown Derby waitress whose acting career takes off with the help of an alcoholic producer on a downhill slide.

Storybook Home on San Gabriel Drive 240 San Gabriel Drive There is something inherently whimsical about Tudor-style houses. Their unique facades, leaded glass windows and storybook gables are reminiscent of fairytales. The home at 240 San Gabriel Drive is no exception. With its curved stone pathway that leads to a handcrafted, original front door, there is a magical quality to this home.

Situated in a highly desirable neighborhood, the expansive abode features five bedrooms and three full baths. The bright, spacious living room is dominated by a stunning wood fireplace and newer windows. Behind the living room is an addition that would make a wonderful office. The space is lit by two skylights and offers a beautiful view of the landscaped backyard. Across the foyer from the living room is a formal dining room with a lovely chandelier and a wooden chair rail.

Well-preserved hardwood floors can be found throughout the house.

A chef’s delight, the kitchen is spacious and beautifully laid out. The ceramic tile floor compliments the dark wooden cabinets, while the two sinks and modern appliances create the perfect setting to prepare Sunday brunches or elegant meals for family gettogethers – meals that can either be shared

in the dining room, the large eat-in area of the kitchen or, if the weather allows, the charming deck on the side of the house.

Upstairs, the second floor houses four bedrooms, each with ample closet space and large windows that allow sunlight to stream into the rooms. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and radiator heaters add to the period charm. Stairs lead to the third floor which includes a guestroom and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub. The other half of the third floor is unfinished attic space – perfect for storage.

This home has an attached double garage, an unusual bonus for a house built in the 1920s, and sits on a gorgeous double lot.

The house is listed at $289,000. For more information or to view the home, contact Diane Siefras of RE/MAX Realty Group at 585-248-0350. To view photos and learn more, visit http://rochestercityliving.com/ property/R150884.
