Histories: Lived, Learned, and inherited is the third and final exhibition in our ongoing series of shows that examine the ways we reflect on the past, the ways we connect and associate the lived experience with our understandings of history, of loss, and of change. The exhibition features the work of Michelle Brown, Talin Megherian, and Stephanie Roberts-Camello.

History is the culmination of past experiences. We can understand this broadly as the linear expression of events through time. When we are born, we enter into that timeline afresh, or so it would seem. It takes a while for us to learn that our relationships to history are shaped by a myriad of dynamisms largely outside of our control. Gender, culture, socioeconomics, geography, and religious affiliations are among the many forces that help to define our perceptions.

Michelle Brown refers to her work as tablets or storyboards. Her work is often presented in diptych form and symbolizes many ways of thinking about access to information. Although her work “reads” like an open book or a sequential narrative, the images are inspired by a number of sources and are meant to be seen either in linear time or as a series of interrelated images in which access can take on many forms.

Talin Megherian’s imagery gives voice to her Armenian heritage. She grew up with stories of the Armenian genocide and the atrocities that were inflicted upon a people. Her father, an infant during the Armenian Diaspora, was almost left behind because of the difficulty of traveling on foot with a baby, but his grandmother refused and fed him chewed up grass to keep him alive. Talin’s three series, Wells, Braids, and Khatchkars, all pull from family stories and documents written during the Armenian genocide.

Stephanie Roberts-Camello’s work is a response to transgenerational stories about her family history. The discovery of a box of family letters unveiled a time of suffering and loss during the Great Depression and the dust bowl days of Texas. Cowboys and farmers wrote of growing wheat and raising cattle during long droughts and dust storms that people had to endure in hopes for better days ahead. Using encaustic as her medium in relief form, Stephanie layers wax over old letters or eco prints of nature, creating a visual and metaphoric stratum of time.

The Newport Annual Juried Exhibition Through April 26, 2020 Newport Art Museum 76 Bellevue Ave. Newport, RI newportartmuseum.org

Paul Shapiro’s Ribs & Brisket has been delighting audiences since the release of Essen, (Yiddish for eat) on Tzadik Records. Featuring smooth bluesy vocalist Cilla Owens and Shapiro’s soulful tenor, they’ve reveled in the music of the 1930’s onward, intertwining jazz, swing, and Yiddish, celebrating where the Borscht Belt intersected 52nd Street.

Shapiro loved the music chosen for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, so he’s put his Ribs & Brisket up to the task of revisiting those classics and putting their own spin on them. Expect anything from Connie Francis and the Barry Sisters to Blossom Dearie and Ella! Joining them will be special guest Eleanor Reissa, who has been winning audiences with her singing and acting talents but most uniquely as one of the world’s most recognized interpreters of Yiddish song.

MARBLE HOUSE TO REOPEN AFTER DEEP CLEANING, CONSERVATION WORK

Marble House, one of the Preservation Society of Newport County’s major historic house museums, reopened for tours on last month, after undergoing a six-week-long deep cleaning.

The house, built between 1888 and 1892 for William K. Vanderbilt and his wife, Alva, will be open daily at 10 a.m. for self-guided audio tours, with the last tour admission at 4 p.m.

During the deep cleaning, 10 caretakers worked eight hours a day to painstakingly clean all rooms, furniture, textiles, and decorative objects. Much of the detailed work was performed with fine brushes, cotton swabs, and small sponges. The task was made more challenging by the need to avoid using any harsh cleaning solutions.

In addition, the Preservation Society’s professional conservation and collections staff assessed dozens of objects in the house and worked on several that needed special treatment. This included a 3-by-6-foot ornamental plaster ceiling panel in the Gold Room that was taken down and reassembled to make it stronger and more corrosion-resistant.

“This kind of work often goes unseen by the general public, but it is crucial to our mission of preservation,” Preservation Society CEO and Executive Director Trudy Coxe said. “The scale of this project has been immense. It isn’t just six weeks of painstaking vacuuming, dusting, painting, and repair work – all under the pressure of a tight deadline. There were also months of strategic planning before the work ever started. Everyone involved should be incredibly proud of what they accomplished.”

Marble House, designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, will be the site of several major Preservation Society events this year, including the annual Summer Dinner Dance on Aug. 15; a celebration of the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote on Aug. 26; and the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival’s Grand Tastings, September 19-20.

The Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island, celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2020, is a nonprofit organization accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. It is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the area’s historic architecture, landscapes, decorative arts, and social history. Its 11 historic properties – seven of them National Historic Landmarks – span more than 250 years of American architectural and social development.
