THREATER & DANCE THE SUMMER culture season kicks into high gear with four days of cuttingedge performing arts at the Aspen Fringe Festival, running June 9 to 12. Fringe Fest opens in the Aspen District Theatre with the return of Soulskin Dance on Friday, June 9. The company wowed audiences last year with its “A Pop Culture Journey” at the festival and a site-specific performance at the Aspen Art Museum. The company’s new show, “Satin & Swing,” pays homage to the Roaring ’20s with contemporary dance infused with the flapper style of the day set to the songs of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and some modern surprises. It then moves to the Black Box Theatre for a two-night run of “The Trump Card,” a one-man show about a con artist in the White House performed by Fringe founder David Ledingham. It’ll be paired with another one-man show, Penelope Skinner’s feminist satire “Angry Alan,” performed by Donald Sage Mackay. The festival closes on Monday, June 12 with a Fringe Lab staged reading of Skinner’s new play, “Linda,” directed by Maurice LaMee.

FISHER’S FIX

1960 ASPEN

ON AUG. 23, 1956, The Aspen Times described a mishap suffered by Freddie Fisher. Fisher would turn leaves into works of art sold at local retailers by electroplating them in a gold solution. As the paper reported, “Freddie Fisher, Aspen’s jazz-man, fix-it man and inventor, is presently recovering from an attack of gas poisoning. Monday morning, Aug. 13, Fisher was working in his Main Street shop when he was nearly overcome by fumes from his leaf plating machine. Built by Fisher, the machine swirls Aspen tree leaves and coats them in metal. Dangerous waste fumes from the gadget were apparently not being taken out of the building. Barely conscious, Fisher got outside the shop and called for help. Several people passed by without noticing him. Finally, he flagged down two people who called Doctor J.S. Baxter and Sheriff Lorain Herwick. Baxter and the sheriff took Fisher to Pitkin County Hospital where he was immediately given oxygen. He was released from the hospital Monday evening, and, though still feeling weak, was at work Wednesday, August 15.” The photo above shows Fisher working with his leaf-plating machine, circa 1960. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

RUN ON: RUNNING SHOES MADE FROM ‘ALGAE FOAM’

A BUCKET OF POND WATER might not seem like a performance enhancer. But that could change this year with a shoe from a UKbased brand called VivoBarefoot. The running shoes will be the first made of a hybrid algae-EVA foam. They offer an alternative to the petroleumbased product that’s found in almost every other running shoe.

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

The algae-foam provider, Bloom Holdings, culls its biomass from freshwater sources. It then mixes the algae with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) to make a pliable, cushiony material. The resulting algae-based material will, according to Bloom, “meet or exceed existing performance standards” for traditional foam. This is thanks

Jun e 8 - Jun e 14, 2017

to its “natural thermoplastic qualities,” Bloom cites. The to-be-released footwear — called the VivoBarefoot X Bloom — come to market in July. They are based off a current design the company sells, which costs $75. In addition to a petroleumfree makeup, the company touts environmental advantages. This includes lessening the amount

of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere during manufacturing. Keep your eyes open for the “algae shoes” this summer. They have a strange design and an even weirder material technology inside. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

MUST WE CHOOSE?

OVERPRICED HOUSES VS. OVERPRICED AVOCADOS AS A YOUNG PERSON between the ages of 20 and 35, is purchasing a home a priority? This question came to mind a couple of weeks ago as I was browsing the Internet for millennial-related topics, a.k.a. column fodder. There are always some hilarious stories out there about Generation Y, claiming that we’ve stolen the American Dream or we’ve destroyed the BARBARA PLATTS modern-day economy. Some blame us for declining napkin sales. You name it, we’ve been blamed for it. Most of these accusations I don’t bother to write about because of how outlandish they are. The one that ended up catching my attention seemed to be of that breed at first, but as I read more, I realized it may have some validity. The story was about Australian real estate mogul — and millennial — Tim Gurner. He was on the Australian 60 Minutes last month. One of the headline-worthy topics he touched on was the housing market and the younger generation’s inability to buy a home. “When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn’t buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each,” said Gurner, who is worth nearly half a billion dollars. He continued to say millennials

P H OTO B Y M AT T F E R R O

have rather lavish lifestyles that inhibit them from making big investments in housing. “They want to eat out every day, they want to travel to Europe every year,” he said. “The people that own homes today worked very, very hard for it (and) saved every dollar, did everything they could to get up the property investment ladder.” I have to admit, when I first read the articles about Gurner’s interview and saw the video clips, my first inclination was to find this $19 smashed avocado dish he had referenced. It sounded just decadent, and I was particularly hungry at the time. With no knowledge on where to get this dish, I had to pause my research, go make myself some toast and smear on half of an avocado. I then ate every last morsel of it and returned to the stories about Gurner’s remarks. Many were appalled by his comments. People took to Twitter to share their dislike, millennial-focused organizations used it as a way to explain their mission statements and news organizations were careful to credit other reasons why the younger generation suffered from financial woes. In a matter of hours, Gurner became an enemy to the millennial lifestyle and “Where do I buy a coffee for $4 or less?” was the most highly searched question on Google. OK, that second claim may be a joke, but you get my point:

Everyone was so quick to react that I’m not sure Gurner’s comments got a fair share of consideration. Yes, my generation has gone through a lot of obstacles that have inhibited our success. I’ve talked about many of them in previous columns, such as dealing with crippling student loans, not having a surplus of career-oriented, full-time jobs in the workforce and attempting to become fully functioning adults among the housing crash of 2007-08. We haven’t exactly had it easy, but we also aren’t considered to be the thriftiest of youth. A study from Goldman Sachs shows that we prefer to spend money on experiences like vacations, concerts, sporting events, etc., as opposed to longterm assets like cars and homes. Albeit, these are generalizations, but perhaps there’s some truth behind them. Maybe we are choosing to find comfort in experiences and fleeting moments as opposed to planting roots and watching them grow? If that’s the case, I wouldn’t blame any of us for it. There’s certainly no rule in place that says we have to invest in the same things that the previous generations did. This apparent tendency that many millennials have valuing experience more than long-term investments is emphasized even more in a little place called Aspen. Most Aspen millennials don’t hold a great deal

of hope for being able to buy a home in our extremely high-priced real estate market. We also put a lot of stock into our experiences, whether that’s powder days on the mountain, offseason trips to beach towns or treks to our favorite music festivals. We live for the next adventure, filling up all of our free time with fun. We may not own a home or even a car, but perhaps that’s not what we are looking to get out of our lives right now. Life is all about priorities. We can’t have our cake and eat it, too, but we each have the freedom to prioritize what’s important to us. If lavish foods and beverages are what one deems vital in their life, then that’s exactly what they should indulge in. If a house and an important amount of stability are the priority, then other luxuries may need to be sidelined. It’s all about how you spin it. And, with an indulgent season about to begin in Aspen, I must admit that avocado toast and expensive coffee are looking pretty damn good right about now. Barbara Platts finished this column while drinking a nice glass of cabernet. She then went out to a fancy sushi restaurant with some friends and talked about European travel ideas. She has no current plans to invest in a home. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com or on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

WINEINK

WINE AS A LUXURY NOTHING EXCEEDS LIKE … THE ESTEEMED master sommelier and winemaker Richard Betts likes to say that “wine is a grocery.” He is referring to the idea that in places, like Italy, wine is part and parcel of everyday life. It is like another course that you have with your lunch or dinner. Or both. I have always loved that descriptive, as it simplifies and makes KELLY J. the consumption of HAYES wine an egalitarian pursuit. But I also know that wine is also perceived, and rightly so, as a luxury item. Next weekend the 35th Food & Wine Classic in Aspen will kick off and there will be some pretty incredible luxury wine events taking place. The Classic attracts 5,000 attendees and is a defacto trade trip for many of the wine world’s luxury wine producers. In going through the offerings I was struck by a couple of overthe-top happenings that speak to the “higher end” side of wine. THE LAP OF LUXURY

The Little Nell hotel, at the base of Aspen Mountain, is one of those places that wine lovers put on their bucket lists. With one of America’s deepest and most interesting wine lists, it is also a hangout for the Court of Master Sommeliers, which often holds their examinations on the property. And during the Food & Wine Classic it is ground zero for the elite of the wine world. This year, Carlton McCoy, the wine director of the Little Nell, is hosting a pair of meals for those who recognize and prize the value of great wines. The first is a dinner at the hotel’s Element 47 restaurant. Titled “The Legacy of Opus One,” it will feature a vertical tasting of epic and historic wines that were the result of a Napa pairing between international wine legends Robert

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jun e 8 - Jun e 14, 2017

Mondavi and Bordeaux’s Philippe Rothschild. “I asked the team at Opus One if they’d ever presented a vertical tasting from the first vintage in 1979 to the current release of 2014,” said McCoy about the genesis of the meal. “They hadn’t done this yet and agreed it was a good idea given the refreshed interest,” he continued. “Instead of focusing on every vintage, they’ll focus on the best, most highly rated vintages.” Sound good? How about a Krug Champagne Lunch? McCoy has also arranged a special lunch with a national representative of Krug, who will lead diners through the entire Krug portfolio, beginning with different bottlings of its multi-vintage wines, dating 15 to 20 years ago. Among the exclusive bottlings, guests will get to taste Krug’s Single Vineyard Blanc de Blancs Clos de Mesnil. Now each of these events represents an extraordinary wine experience, the kind that well, money can’t buy. But, in this case, The Krug Champagne Lunch and Legacy of Opus One Dinner are offered as a paired ticket for $2,000 per person (one seat at the lunch and one seat at the dinner). Interested? Contact Carlton McCoy at The Little Nell. WINES FOR ZILLIONAIRES

And for something completely different, but in the same rarified realm, wine educator and writer Mark Oldman will be presenting a seminar at the Food & Wine Classic that is part of an evolving series focusing on many of the most expensive wines on the planet. His previous concepts have included “Wines for Millionaires” then “Wines for Trillionaires.” Where else can he go but, well, zillionaires? In his tasting seminar, titled “Wines for Zillionaires,” which will be presented twice over the Classic weekend, Oldman will be pouring attendees tastes of

the following: a Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc 2006, which sells for $200 per bottle, a special “melchior”(that would be 24 bottles in one) bottling of the well-regarded Benovia Winery Bella Una Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2014 which, if you could get it, would cost at least $6,000. Then there is a 40th Anniversary 2014 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars CASK 23 Cabernet Sauvignon at $275 bottle. Jay Z’s Ace of Spades Champagne Armand de Brignac Rose NV in magnum that would go for a grand, a 2009 Penfolds Grange also in magnum that the Aussies should have never let leave the continent, even for the $2K it costs, and a little gem from Italy, a Livio Felluga Picolit 2011 ($90). The total cost of the wines that he will pour? Oldman says it adds up to $9,565. Minus the tax, of course. Are these luxury wine experiences worth it? Well it depends upon who you are and what kind of personal value you place on one-of-a-kind wine experiences. And whether you can afford high-end groceries. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE STEMMARI, NERO D’AVOLA 2014 And on the other hand, for less than 10 bucks you can find a pretty good wine to drink with lunch, or even dinner. Especially if you look in the right places. This 100 percent Nero d’ Avola from Sicily won’t set you back much, but it will go well with your grilled burger or your rich pasta this summer. Darkly red, fruity and delish, you may find elegance that is lacking in some flashier wines.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

KNIFE PARTY

CHEFS GET ON EDGE WITH ROLLING SHARPENING STONE

WHEN I MEET Mike Kosec at his workshop, we’re both spinning our wheels. I’m cruising on a bicycle; he’s driving an 18-foot white truck. From the outside it looks like any other commercial delivery vehicle. Inside, though, is business HQ for Rolling Sharpening Stone, Kosec’s mobile knife-sharpening and cooking-tools sales company that AMANDA RAE serves professional chefs from Vail to Grand Junction and everywhere in between. I’d spotted the truck back on Hopkins Avenue, so when I catch up near Paradise Corner, I’m out of breath. Kosec’s sidekick, son Tyler, appears startled as I glide alongside the passenger window, but quickly he rolls it down to shout that they’re headed to bb’s. “Meet you there,” I gasp, as they zoom toward parking. Kosec visits Aspen every Thursday by way of Rifle, where he lives with his wife and bookeeper, Judy. You may have seen the Rolling Stone truck, emblazoned with a giant knife logo and oldtime craftsman graphic labeled “Messermeister” (“Knife Master” in German), over the past 17 years; Kosec restocks restaurant kitchens with crucial supplies such as disposable gloves and garbage bags and gathers knives for sharpening back on the truck. (He also offers knife rentals, which are swapped out regularly.) Roughly 200 venues on the Western Slope — including about 20 clients in Aspen and six in Snowmass, currently — depend on Kosec, quite literally, to keep them sharp. First-time visitors to the mobile showroom often gasp at just how many blades and accessories cover every interior surface. At the rear is the shop: a workbench coated in gray dust and scented of grinding metal is outfitted with three large, vertical discs: a whetstone, a sanding wheel and a cotton

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jun e 8 - Jun e 14, 2017

deburring wheel. On these Kosec hones knives, thanks to a built-in generator, fluorescent lights and air-conditioning. He dons chainmail gloves while he does this, wearing out two or three pairs a year. The rest of the space is inventory. Oak cabinets and glass display cases line the walls. The ceiling is sheathed in pegboard, upon which dozens of gadget are fastened tight with elastic cord: scoops, spoons, spatulas, strainers, microplanes, peelers, pocket thermometers, tongs, whisks, mallets, mashers, cutting boards, sous-vide vacuum bags and even omelet pans in four sizes. Aprons hang in each corner; boxes of SealWrap are stacked three high on the narrow corridor floor. Kosec’s bread and butter, of course, are knives: At least six brands available in up to 10 styles (paring, boning, butcher, etc.). Japanese knives are all the rage, Kosec says. In all, the truck holds some 500 items at wholesale prices — $12,000 or more of product. Anything Kosec doesn’t have on hand, including cookware and appliances, he’s able to order. His ChefWorks catalog of soft goods and shoes features an eye-boggling 57 pages of aprons alone. “As I tell the chefs: I sell anything from salt-and-pepper shakers to walk-in coolers,” Kosec quips. “Not only do I sharpen knives, but I (sell) the whole gamut of equipment. Plus light maintenance and repairs of small equipment, like Robot-Coupe machines, 16inch hand blenders, slicers.” Earlier today, the Kosec guys knocked off Snowmass accounts, restocked Caribou Club (chef Miles Angelo is an original customer) and completed sharpening services for The Gant. “We only have six stops left, it’s about 50 percent (of business now),” Kosec says, adding that he might have time to swing through Basalt, usually reserved for Fridays after Glenwood Springs. “This is the end of the quiet. Food & Wine, that’s when it starts blowing up.”

I trail the hulking, 6’6” Kosec upstairs to bb’s, where we’re greeted by chef Jeff Casagrande, a client of six years. Today he receives the standard bulk goods plus five vegetable peelers and a 3-inch pastry brush. “He comes to you, sees what you need every couple of weeks,” says Casagrande, occasionally persuaded to peruse Kosec’s wares in person on the truck. “It’s a chef ’s dream to go in there and see knives everywhere.” Kosec understands the allure. He was a chef once. Formerly executive sous at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Kosec was on a staff of 40 that turned out 6,000 plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner. “We called it the bunker — fluorescent lights and cement,” he says of the subterrranean kitchen. “I’d have to call my wife to know what the weather was like.” Time to finish the rounds. Admittedly, it’s a bit slow at 1:30 p.m. on June 1: Wild Fig is still a construction zone, the lone worker at Grey Lady appears unauthorized to make purchases and everyone at Aspen Kitchen is preoccupied.

We head to park in front of the dancing fountain — no taxi drivers grumble at Kosec today — then relocate to the back of the truck. Tyler, 22, shoulders a stack of boxes and shuffles over to Jimmy’s Bodega; they’ve requested double as many bags and gloves than in winter since the restaurant is open for summer lunch. He refuses the handcart. “I told him: You wait 10 years to see how your shoulders feel,” Kosec quips, shaking his head. “Fifteen years ago, when I was younger and things were less hectic, I could do it myself. He’s got fresher legs and better knees than I do. It’s nice having two people; I can talk to chefs about future needs, new products, egg on the crew to come to the truck.” Tyler has been working alongside his father eight years, since age 14. “Now I sharpen knives,” he says. “If he goes out of town, he can trust me with the truck. And I carry the heavy stuff.” The best part? “I know the coolest chefs in the coolest towns!” Bodega executive chef Mario Hernandez, sous chef Roberto, and a line cook, all dressed in

by AMANDA RAE

chef coats, climb aboard the truck. It’s clear they’ve been here before — Hernandez has used Kosec’s services for a decade, since his Pacifica days — but still, their eyes are wide like saucers. They pick up mandoline slicers and fishbone tweezers, talking excitedly en español. Hernandez is on the hunt for a replacement lemon squeezer — it’s ceviche season, after all — and a long-handled spider strainer for deep-frying. “I like to buy (peelers) at the beginning of every season,” Hernandez says. “It’s easy for me to order this stuff through Shamrock or Sysco, but we like to support local companies.” At the same time, Hernandez takes pride in maintaining his own instruments, including a Japanese knife that proprietor Jimmy Yeager brought back from a trip to the country last fall. “We start our day by sharpening our knives every morning with a stone,” he says. “It’s important. We do a lot of brunoise, so we need our knives very sharp.” Kosec sells Hernandez the peelers and tools, then shuts the door. It’s clear he enjoys these interactions, but he doesn’t envy the reality of chef life any more. “The travel is great,” he says. “Being outside, driving around and seeing people. They were customers 17 years ago; now they’re customers and friends.” Next time you see the Rolling Stone truck in Aspen, feel free to step inside. Though Kosec doesn’t advertise his services to the general public, he’ll sharpen knives for home cooks upon request. (Customers may also drop knives for service at Kitchen Collage in Willits. Home sharpeners, see Kosec’s tips in fact box.) “It’s the wow factor,” Kosec says of his success. “People ask me, ‘I’ve been on the truck before, what do you have new?’ And I say: All the stuff you didn’t see before!”

STAY SHARP, ASPEN! When was the last time you sharpened your kitchen knives? If you’re like most home cooks, it’s probably been awhile … if ever! However, once you begin sharpening your knives regularly, like chefs do, and feel the difference, you’ll be hooked. Prepping ingredients becomes a silky smooth process — and a whole lot safer, since greater force is necessary when using a dull edge. Follow master sharpener Mike Kosec’s top tips: • SELECT A SHARPENING STEEL by assessing the blade. For heavier, thicker German knives, use a regular steel or a mildly abrasive diamond steel (which requires fewer strokes). Ceramic sharpeners are suited for thinner, finer, lighter blades, such as Japanese knives or delicate paring knives. • FOCUS ON ANGLE and maintaining that angle on both sides with even pressure. Use the width of your pinky set on the side of the blade as a guide (about 16 to 22 degrees). • KEEPING THIS ANGLE STEADY, slide the blade from end to tip, either toward you, away from you, or downward by resting the steel vertically. “However is most comfortable to you is the way to do it,” Kosec says. Complete the same number of strokes per side.

IF YOU GO... Rolling Sharpening Stone Thursdays in Aspen 970-948-5073 mjkjem@questoffice.net

• FINALLY, TEST SHARPNESS by slicing a sheet of paper; any microscopic nicks on the blade will catch. A ripe tomato also works. “If it doesn’t feel sharp after that, it’s time to use a stone — oilstone or whetstone (soaked in water, which creates an abrasive slurry). 800-grit is a good place to start.”

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

NOW THAT SUMMER has essentially arrived in Aspen, it’s all the more encouraging to get outside and be active. Over the weekend there was a triathlon of such endeavors in town. On the running front, Rickey Gates of Aspen arrived in town on foot, more than halfway through his TransAmericana tour — running from South Carolina to San Francisco. Gates dipped his toe in the Atlantic Ocean in March, setting off on

an adventure across the country with an anticipated arrival on the Pacific Coast in August. Follow his journey on social media and online at www.rickeygates.com/ transamericana. On Saturday, June 3, Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club presented Pedaleando, kicking off its summer bike program with a free community ride. All were invited to meet at Triangle Park in Willits for a group tour to Rock Bottom Ranch and back. With the support

of many community partners, all enjoyed breakfast, on-course snacks and drinks, bicycle safety checks and a prize-filled raffle. Parties popped in parks around the valley all weekend — from Summerfest at Crown Mountain Park on Sunday, June 4, to birthday parties at Triangle Park in Aspen — indicating summer is here! Contact May with insights, invites or info: allthewaymaymay@hotmail.com.

Since its new downtown building opened three years ago, the Aspen Art Museum has landed some monumental shows — from the Yves Klein and David Hammons show that opened it to Judith Scott’s retrospective and Julian Schnabel’s plate-painting collection. But nothing’s been as (literally) big as this one. Works by these three acclaimed and influential artists will fill every gallery in the museum along with outdoor spaces and some new territory. Guyton’s work will complement pieces from the vaunted three-decade-long collaboration between Fischli and the late Weiss. The museum is hosting a day of interactive happenings with the show on July 28, including a site-specific children’s dance performance, virtual reality experience, printmaking and rooftop star-gazing.

Jun e 8 - Jun e 14, 2017

A YEAR AGO, the Aspen Music Festival and School’s season opened with a call to action from Los Angeles Philharmonic President and CEO Deborah Borda, who at convocation charged students to instigate “a new era of musician activism.” Throughout the tumultuous summer of 2016, Aspen’s young music students followed through and harnessed their talents to take action. Most prominently, they organized concerts responding to the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Music School leadership, while remaining nonpartisan, encouraged this political engagement and student-run musical activism. “We, as a festival, took the position that this is an excellent endeavor for our students,” explains festival President and CEO Alan Fletcher. “On whatever political note, the idea that classical musicians believe they have social importance and believe they have social impact is a great one. We want to support that.” From the Music Fest’s vaunted concert halls to the stages and screens and galleries across this remote mountain town, the eclectic 2017 summer season ahead brings socially conscious artists and works that confront and reflect the unrest and anger of the early Trump era, seeking to confront and question, hoping to unite a divided nation and a troubled world. “I’ve heard people say, ‘People come to Aspen to escape,’ ‘They want to play,’ ‘They want to party,’ ‘They want to forget about what’s happening out there in the world,’” says Aspen Fringe Festival founder David Ledingham. “What does that mean? That we’re not supposed to be a part of the world? What about the Aspen Idea? That’s what Aspen was founded on.” Fringe Fest kicks off the summer culture season with a lineup that includes Ledingham himself directly tackling the Trump question. He’ll perform an adaptation of Mike Daisey’s

satirical one-man show “The Trump Card,” examining the president and the society that elected him. It shares a bill June 10 and 11 with the premiere of Penelope Skinner’s “Angry Alan.” Performed by Donald Sage Mackay, the new play examines the socalled “men’s rights movement” and the insidious spread of misogyny in the U.S. through online forums. The festival closes with a reading of Skinner’s feminist drama “Linda.” “We felt like we needed to embrace where this country is and do an interrogation into what that means, because there’s a lot at stake,” Ledingham says. The producers of the upstart Bluebird Art + Sound, which has its inaugural festival of concerts and visual art installations in Snowmass Village on June 30 to July 2, used social relevance as a starting point for their programming. “It was not only an opportunity but a calling to imbue into this new festival a message that was reflective of these interesting times,” producer Garrett Chau explains. “We’re living in a society — and it’s not just America — where it is very polarized, very us versus them, American citizen versus immigrant, self versus other.” Chau and his team built the festival around the theme “Us,” aiming to unite through art. They booked Drive-By Truckers to headline, on the strength of its 2016 “American Band” album that infuses southern rock with a fierce call for inclusion and equality. Curator Emma Gray has planned interactive art installations aimed at transcending people’s differences. “We want to be relevant socially, but we’re not trying to get up on a soap box,” says Chau. “It’s not pro-Trump or anti-Trump. It’s about examining those issues in a provocative way and creating civilized discourse.” The Aspen Institute’s arts program has for years been promoting the idea of the “citizen artist” by infusing the arts into the

think tank’s varied policy programs and initiatives. This summer’s Aspen Ideas Festival includes a production of the new Trump-themed play “Building the Wall” by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan (June 27) and an entire track of events at the festival themed “The Art of Change” (June 25-28). Art with a societal impact has had an increasingly prominent place in the Institute’s public programming. “It was my goal, the first day I was privileged to come to the Institute, not just to be someone showcasing art and the arts, but actually integrating the arts into larger frameworks,” said Damien Woetzel, who has run the Institute’s arts program since 2011. “The Institute has been utterly welcoming of that idea, because it fits. It’s truly part of the DNA of the place.” American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) — the annual environmental summit — has taken a similar approach through the years, enlisting artists as varied as filmmaker James Cameron, actor Val Kilmer and bluesman Taj Mahal alongside bold-faced names from science, industry and government to discuss climate solutions. Its Impact Film presentations showcase some of the best in new environmental documentaries. The 2017 edition includes free screenings of Michele Ohayon’s “Power” and Susan Kucera’s “Breath of Life” on June 23 and 24. For its summer series, Anderson Ranch Arts Center is bringing

“It was not only an opportunity but a calling to imbue into this new festival a message that was reflective of these interesting times. We’re living in a society — and it’s not just American — where it is is very polarized, very us versus them, American citizen versus immigrant, self versus other.” – Garrett Chau, producer, Bluebird Art + Sounds Syrian artist Diana Al-Hadid, Pakistani artist Huma Bhabha and Iranian gallerist Leila Heller to the Snowmass Village campus to discuss the role of art in the age of the “travel ban” and Islamaphobia (Aug. 3). The literary nonprofit Aspen Words is putting its money where its mouth is on social relevance. Aspen Words is in the midst of submissions for its inaugural Aspen Words

Literary Prize, which will award $35,000 to a work of fiction that tackles a vital contemporary issue. “We’re creating a conversation that’s slightly different from other prizes,” executive director Adrienne Brodeur said when they launched the prize last year. “It’s not just, ‘What’s excellent?’ It’s ‘What’s excellent that’s also purposeful?’ ‘What do we need to be thinking about?’”

Aspen Words is taking admissions through the end of the year. At its annual Summer Words festival, novelists Ben Fountain, Chinelo Okparanta and Said Sayrafiezadeh will discuss “Literature with Impact” (June 19). Even some of the more escapist offerings in Aspen this summer are getting socially engaged. Theatre Aspen — in a season that includes the family-friendly musical “Hairspray” and the play “Sex With Strangers” — is launching a new dialogue series that aims to ground its work in the issues of the day. Titled “Off Book,” the series will include talkbacks and dialogues about themes of the season, whether it’s bodypositivity and racial segregation in “Hairspray” or intimacy in the digital age in “Sex With Strangers.” The company is also hosting a September workshop production of “The Mad Show,” a musical from the biting social satirists at Mad Magazine and Second City. Theatre Aspen interim artistic director Markus Potter sees the theater as a place to bring together a ferociously polarized society. “Today, with what’s going on in the world, we’re hunkering deeper down in our bunkers,” Potter says. “Theater, and socially conscious theater, can break that open a few notches and help us to become more empathetic.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

‘UNSEEN CITY’ AN EXCELLENT IF unorthodox guidebook has been published by an amateur natural historian in the San Francisco Bay area. “In Unseen City: The Majesty of Pigeons, The Discreet Charm of Snails & Other Wonders of the Urban Wilderness,” we follow Nathanael Johnson, a food writer at the environmental magazine Grist, and his daughter, Josephine, as they observe and research the complex lives and ecological interactions of urban weeds, squirrels, pigeons, ants and trees. We learn that the adult pigeon produces 25 pounds of feces a year, that squirrels have flourished nearly unchanged for 5 million years, that roasted ginkgo seeds have the texture of “stiff gnocchi,” and that no one knows why crows are black. It makes sense that this call for a new urban naturalism should come from a food writer. Urban agriculture has been growing for years now, the compact backyard chicken coop and gaily painted raised bed on the

parking strip now seemingly permanent fixtures of the city landscape. Its even hipper cousin, urban foraging, has also received a lot of attention over the past few years, with food trendsetters like Daniel Patterson, former head chef of San Francisco’s Coi, using wild oxalis and lichens, and Denverbased Hunt & Gather combing the periurban fringe for mushrooms to supply over 60 Front Range restaurants. Food has become the new medium through which city people engage with other living things on their home turf. And Johnson doesn’t hesitate to nibble on some of the species he studies — like those ginkgo seeds. Johnson writes at a time when our culture is experiencing a long, slow melting of the conceptual division between people and nature. Thanks to climate change, population growth and critiques of purist wilderness concepts by thinkers like historian William Cronon, people are becoming less willing to define nature as only that which is

untouched by humanity. By the same token, they are more open to seeing nature in our own species’ densest congregations — to acknowledge a volunteer cherry seedling in an ill-maintained gutter as a valid part of nature rather than just a token of squalid neglect. Where urban parents once taught their children not to pick up “dirty” bird feathers on the street, they now lovingly preserve tattered pigeon primaries as a sign of their offspring’s deep connection to nature. “Unseen City” is by turns heartfelt, astonishing and very funny. It’s much more than a mere collection of curious facts about urban species. Think of it as a sort of naturalist amuse-bouche — a tantalizing sample of the pleasures available to anyone who makes the effort to really look at the species with which we share the urban world.
