CHECK IT OUT FDR site hosts WWII-era Memorial Day weekend events

President Roosevelt reviewing troops at Rabat, Morocco while at the Casablanca Conference in 1943 (Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum)

For those who observe its intended meaning and don’t just consider it the excuse for the first barbecue of summer, Memorial Day weekend can be a grim reminder of the costs of war.

But it can also be an upbeat celebration of the memory of those who gave their all, if you spend some of it at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site.

That’s because Memorial Day weekend events at the FDR site always kick off with a high-spirited recreation of a World War II-era USO Show. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 26 in the Henry A. Wallace Center, you can revel in two hours of family-friendly entertainment including live Big Band music from the 1930s and ‘40s, comedy and juggling, historic newsreels and more. Dress in your jitterbugging best and have a nostalgic blast! Preregistration is required at www. fdrlibrary.org.

Then, on Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, reenactors in battle dress will be on hand to share their love of history with the visiting public with a World War II encampment on the FDR Library’s front lawn. Period military vehicles and collections of military uniforms, weapons and insignia from 1917 to the present day will be on display. This year’s encampment will also feature members of the 240th Military Police Battalion, a National Park Service and Roosevelt Library living history program. If your kids think of beating the Nazis as ancient history, this might be a propitious time to remind them that the “Good War” was a real thing and that fascism can rear its ugly head again.

The solemnities at the FDR site are reserved for the wreath-laying and graveside memorial service on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in the Rose Garden. Nelson Eddy Rivera, USN (Ret.), director of Veterans’ Services for Dutchess County, will be this year’s featured speaker.

Regular park admission is charged for all these events. For more info, call (845) 486-7745 or visit www.fdrlibrary.org. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum are located at 4079 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park.

It comes two weekends a year, bookending the summer tourism season, and has been going on in the same spot (with a stunning view of the Gunks) since 1982. But that doesn’t mean that it ever gets old.

We’re talking about the WoodstockNew Paltz Art & Crafts Fair, of course, back for its Memorial Day manifestation this weekend, May 27 through 29. It’s a fairly high-end, competitive juried show featuring more than 300 artists and artisans from across America purveying a broad range of handcrafted goods to suit every taste. There’s no mass-produced junk of the sort often seen at street fairs of late; but something affordable and essential to take home can be found for every budget, even if it’s only an eightdollar jar of awesome gourmet mustard

or a handcarved wooden spoon.

The Memorial Day weekend show always plays up landscape art, outdoor furniture and other items to enhance your warm-weather enjoyment of your “outdoor rooms,” or to bring as a “hostess gift” to some summer gathering. This year, that selection will include a few mobile tiny houses: a foretaste of the Tiny House Festival coming to the Fairgrounds on July Fourth weekend.

Live crafting demonstrations, a great selection of fair food and topnotch local entertainers are also consistent features of the Crafts Fair. This Saturday, performers will include Chris Wilson at noon, the Ravensbeard Wildlife Show with Ellen Kalish at 1 p.m. and the Myles Mancuso Band at 3 p.m. On Sunday, you can hear All-She-Wrote at 12:30 p.m., the Cupcakes at 2 p.m. and Shep and the Coconuts at 3:30 p.m. On Monday, Chris Wilson returns at noon and Helen Avakian performs at 1:30 p.m.

Fair hours are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, May 29, Memorial Day. Entry costs $9 general admission, $8 for seniors; kids aged 12 and under get in free, and you can print out a $1 discount coupon on the

website at www.quailhollow.com. That’s where you can also find a full list of the vendors and where on the Fairgrounds map their booth will be located (in case you have little time to spare and want to make a ninja shopping run to a favorite vendor or two – otherwise, plan to make at least half a day of it!).

The Ulster County Fairgrounds are located at 249 Libertyville Road in New Paltz, on the western side of the Wallkill River. Parking is free. For more info, call (845) 679-8087 or (845) 246-3414.

Community Days at Mohonk offer free admission & Paint-Out

Taste of Woodstock to benefit Woodstock Film Festival Local “Taste of” celebrations tend to happen at harvest time, in late summer and early fall. But Woodstock always wants to march to its own drum, so it does it in late spring instead. Of course, that’s partly because the culinary wallow is a fundraiser for the Woodstock Film Festival, which has other things on its mind as autumn approaches, and the Hudson Valley Film Commission, which is currently a very busy entity indeed, what with the new tax incentives for making movies at Ulster County locations.

You can help boost these noble efforts to transform our neck of the woods into Hollywood-on-Hudson, and also treat yourself to a diverse selection of culinary delicacies, by attending the fifth annual Taste of Woodstock event next Wednesday, May 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. For a $50 donation, guests receive a walking map of Woodstock’s world-class restaurants and a voting card to pick their favorite dishes. With the Woodstock Film Festival Center at 13 Rock City Road as home base, supporters are free to walk around the

If you’ve ever visited the Mohonk Mountain House, atop the Shawangunk Ridge between New Paltz and High Falls, you probably wished that you could take some of those stunning views home with you. Some people do that by purchasing professional photo prints, or snapping some of their own.

Others long to take out their paintbrushes and capture the vistas on canvas.

If you’re among the latter, listen up: A Paint-Out! organized by Sevan Melikyan of the Wired Gallery in High Falls will be the centerpiece of next week’s Community Days at Mohonk Mountain House, and it costs nothing to participate – or just to visit, between Tuesday, May 31 and midday on Friday, June 2. That’s the “community” part.

The Paint-Out! event officially begins on Memorial Day, when 20 invited program artists will begin setting up their easels at various points on the scenic property.

Marking the 30 th anniversary of WVLT’s founding, this year’s house tour will explore the legacy of New Paltz’s first Huguenot settlers – the Duzine, or Patentees – and their families’ expansion northward along the eastern banks of the Wallkill River to Bontecoe on the Esopus border. Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) will offer a special orientation and exhibition at the DuBois Fort, designed especially for this occasion, as well as a private visit to one of its stone houses rarely open to the public.

The tour presents seven of the town’s most unusual and important houses and farms, dating from the early 18th century to the mid-20th, built by Huguenot descendants or upon Huguenot lands. They include examples of early stone houses, a modern interpretation of a Federal-style stone dwelling in the Dutch tradition, a Greek Revival brick beauty, a fanciful manor house and a soaring barn converted to modern living.

Side trips will interpret Huguenot Street’s evolution, including the story of the Reformed Church, its three manses and the choirmaster’s house. In addition, the African-American experience in New Paltz will be explored through HHS’s exhibition on a former slave named John Hasbrouck, the slave cellar at the Abraham Hasbrouck House, New Paltz houses by the late-19thcentury builder/architect Jacob Wynkoop and the African-American Burial Ground.

Registration will be held at the Reformed

KRELL’S PERSONAE ARE OFTEN BROKEN and partial, composing themselves in imperfect relationships, suffused in melancholy as they post-mortem past loves and failures on the road to a more robust personhood.

ALBEE DEE & BRYAN DOWNEY PHOTOGRAPHY

Elías Krell

The artful melancholy of Elías Krell Scholar/songwriter performs this Friday at the Old Glenford Church

O

n As Eli, the queer and trans Latinx songwriter (and accomplished academician) Elías Krell does in fact reflect in a variety of clever and direct, candid and literate ways on hot-button themes of identity and the experience of transformation. But it may take a listener a few spins to key in on such currents and undercurrents, so immediately striking is Krell’s songcraft, their expansive musical range, the glowing intimacy of the production and arrangements, its pervasive sense of artful melancholy. As

Eli may present as something culturally radical, but Krell’s musical values are broadly classicist. It is a polyglot, sophisticated classicism, encompassing a waltzy folk, elements of jazz balladry and Euro art-song and a kind of global jangle-pop that cuts across the record but that is epitomized by one of the album’s most dazzling highlights, a cover of Chip Taylor and Billy Vera’s ’60s gem “Under My Umbrella.”

While “Under My Umbrella” is one of As Eli’s several production showpieces, some of its most compelling moments are its

least adorned: the concise, lovesick and Everlyesque gem “Call Me Crazy,” in which Krell laments “Who’s gonna fail me now, if you can’t even do that?” is one of my very favorites. “Same Old Song” hearkens to the beautiful-loser country of Gram Parsons.

Two songs here – one original and one cover – are sung in Spanish: Krell’s “Horizonte” and “Canción de las Simples Cosas,” Krell’s homage to a personal hero, the Costa Rican-born Mexican musical star Chavela Vargas.

In many ways, As Eli is a work of daring candor, owing some to the confessional tenor of the ’90s female singer/songwriter scene (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan).

Krell’s personae are often broken and partial, composing themselves in imperfect relationships, suffused in melancholy as they post-mortem past

loves and failures on the road to a more robust personhood. But if As Eli is a confessional record, its candor is of an unusually artful and formal kind: The highest values in these songs are melodic and verbal shapeliness, the arc of a perfect song.

Paradox, Salman Rushdie writes in The Enchantress of Florence, is the lowest form of argument; so I am going low, then, when I say that the most remarkable thing about As Eli is its paradox of stylistic diversity and immersive coherence, its tone of personal intimacy belying the universality of its formal craft. Krell’s references and source materials are farflung, but as a listening experience As Eli is an unbroken trance of crystalline and intimate chamber-folk and pop: organic, sophisticated and unfailingly pretty.

In a stripped-down trio format with the Hudson Valley’s first-call drummer/ percussionist Manuel Quintana and Jim Altieri on violin, piano and accordion, Elías Krell performs at the Hudson Valley Sudbury School’s Music Night at the Old Glenford Church on Friday, May 26, sharing the bill with the guitarist Billy Rogan: former shredder in the band 3, now a progressive acoustic guitarist/ composer with his own take on the novel, percussive and effect-enhanced tap-andslap technique of Michael Hedges, Kaki King and others. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the music starts at 7.

The brain trust of the Hudson Valley Sudbury School’s Music Night (HVSS) recently announced the imminent end of the long-running, once-monthly series, the final night of which will occur in January of 2018. Curated and emceed by vocalist Carmen Senski (Sin City), hosted in the spacious, tiered Glenford living room of artist and master chef Mor Pipman, mixed for most of its run by Virgil Fowler and lately by Al Hemberger of Loft Recording and staffed by volunteers from the Sudbury School community, HVSS was (a bittersweet past tense for me) one of the genuine jewels on the local listening-room scene.

Pipman’s exquisite seasonal meals were every bit as much a draw as the eclectic and high-quality music booking. The HVSS has enjoyed that rarest thing in the live music world: a stable core audience, one that showed no matter who was playing, so strong was its confidence in the booking and in the kitchen. While the living-room setting (albeit a living room larger than many small clubs) screams “folk and acoustic” (and there certainly was plenty of that), HVSS was adventurous and unafraid of drum sets and amplifiers.

The suggested donation is $10. The

James Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1986 Aliens, but then went seriously awry under a mishmash of succeeding directors and writers. The later sequels brought many diehard fans back to the cineplex for the by-nowiconic monstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sake, but were panned by critics. Respect for the franchise had dwindled almost to nothing by the time Alien vs. Predator came out in 2004. But if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that horror audiences should have learned by now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never to assume that the baddie who appears to be dead will remain so permanently.

And so it was that hopes were rekindled when Scott returned to his brainchild in 2012, promising an exploration of the genesis of the nasty, toxic, procreationobsessed Xenomorphs. But fans rebelled when that prequel, Prometheus, took the spotlight off the creatures and

Back in the so-called Golden Age when sci-fi stories mostly first saw the light of day in pulp magazines edited by the likes of Hugo Gernsback (after whom the Hugo Award is named), scary extraterrestrials were lumped together under the heading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bugeyed monsters,â&#x20AC;? sometimes shortened simply to BEMs. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat ironic that the nightmarish titular creatures that brought the Alien movies their enduring popularity donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have eyes at all. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to contemplate their prey before they attack; attacking is just what they do.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple formula that worked well in Ridley Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original 1979 Alien and

redirected it to philosophical questions about the dangers of sentient species playing God via bioengineering. The echo of Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subtitle, The Modern Prometheus, was undoubtedly no coincidence. The directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention was ambitious; the execution unfortunately too vague.

Accompanied by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;syntheticâ&#x20AC;? with a hidden agenda (Michael Fassbender), the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space crew was sent off in quest of an alien super-race dubbed the Engineers, who had purportedly first salted primordial Earth with their DNA to stimulate the evolution of life.

The Engineers had also later created various versions of the Xenomorphs in order to keep their wayward Earthling spawn in check. At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the narrative appeared to be going at the end of Prometheus.

The newest flick in the series, Alien: Covenant, takes us to what may be the Engineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homeworld, where a colonizer ship bearing thousands of cryogenically snoozing human couples and embryos is sidetracked after sustaining major damage during an ion storm. The prematurely awakened crew tries to repair the spacecraft, but clearly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned a thing about the inadvisability

obody knows if our culture is getting dumber. I’m certainly feeling stupider in some areas, as I get older. Certainly, many of us are still dumbfounded by the recent election, in terms of what it says about the nation’s IQ. At subtler levels of nincompoopity, some of our friends still don’t back up their files, and they click on unknown attachments. The average person, surveys tell us, cannot answer the most elementary science questions.

Ask someone: What are you mostly breathing right now? In other words, what’s the dominant element that makes up the air? Why is the sky blue? Where would you find mitochondria? What is a sundog?

(Answers: Nitrogen; the blue segment of sunlight is made up of such short waves, they’re scattered by the air’s molecules; they’re tiny structures in every cell that supply the cell with energy; a brilliant, commonly seen, white or colorful spot to the right or left of the low sun, caused by floating ice crystals.)

Hence, it’s easy to fool the public, especially when it comes to science speculation.

One area of ongoing gullibility involves predicting the future. Maybe that’s why Nat Geo can now offer a TV series called Year One Million. Its advertising claims that “The series predicts how every aspect of technology may affect our lives, for better or worse” a million years from now.

Well, it would be fascinating if it were true. But somehow, the majority of people have forgotten that previous predictions were almost always wrong. We’re not talking about wacky stuff like the 2012 Mayan calendar doomsday forecast. This is mainstream – because, despite science’s impressive advancements in multiple fields from genetics to astrophysics, no one has shown any sort of ability to foretell events in even the immediate future, unless it merely involved extending an already-existing graph line, such as population trends.

For example, the New York World’s Fair of 1964 used futurists and experts to design exhibits depicting what life would be like 36 years hence, in the far-off year of 2000.

Homes had robots, manual labor had virtually disappeared and flying cars proliferated.

None of it happened.

So-called science visionaries like Arthur C. Clarke and Alvin Toffler sometimes did better, but not by much. In the 1960s Clark did foresee the existence of cell phones. But he also thought we’d colonize the Moon by the year 2000. And as I mentioned last year, absolutely nobody foresaw the sudden modernization of China or that computers would

looking like the human pumice casts made by the Mount Vesuvius eruption of the populations of Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79, only bigger.

And so the carnage begins. Franchise fans will rejoice that Covenant fully reinstates the horror element that made the first couple of Alien movies successful.

If you relish scenes of gooey creatures bursting out of human bodies in a spray of gore and giblets, you’ll get a bellyful here.

No expense is spared on the lasciviously revolting special effects. But you’ll also get further exploration of the more highminded scientific hubris theme, with the finger of blame for the proliferation of deadly DNA infection across the starscape inexorably turning back toward Homo sapiens. We seem to insist on taking our smallpox-infected blankets with us, wherever in the Cosmos we sail. And as in Greek tragedy and a great deal of literature since, trying to prevent the worst that the Fates foreshadow is usually the surest way of making sure that it happens.

While Katherine Waterston as Daniels is a refreshing addition to the Alien franchise’s stellar lineup of kickass female protagonists, Covenant is really Fassbender’s movie. He plays two roles, both AI characters, and both splendidly:

David, the sole survivor (ten years later) of the Prometheus expedition, and Walter, a “perfected” model of the same Weyland Corporation android line who pilots the Covenant while its crew is in interstellar biostasis. Some of the film’s best scenes, including a jokily homoerotic lesson on how to play a handcarved flute, are Fassbender-on-Fassbender confrontations, and the tension between them carries the bulk of the narrative’s thematic weight. “Synthetics,” we gather, are way superior to humans in many ways that matter; but they also inevitably reflect their makers’ imperfections.

exploits the Dark Twin/Light Twin trope of dualistic human nature well-beloved in mythology, but it also spoils some surprises intended by the screenplay. I’ll leave it to you to decide whether or not it’s okay that you can see where all this is going more or less from the get-go. Nor do the philosophical questions addressed plumb any great depths of profundity; still, Alien: Covenant manages to rise well above the gorefest level. The movie is nicely acted, beautifully lit and shot, with authentically Gigeresque production design, and should satisfy fans who don’t want this franchise to put on its red shirt and die anytime soon.

Building mass Mass MoCA nearly doubles its size and unveils Building 6 at celebration this Sunday, featuring a Nick Cave Soundsuit parade and a concert by Cake

D

ue to a wrong turn on the country roads that connect Kingston to North Adams, not far from the Massachusetts state line, I arrive late for the press briefing about the new 120,000-squarefoot Building 6 opening Sunday, May 28 at Mass MoCA. An intern hurries me through a portion of the vast industrial spaces of the existing museum, exposing me to a speed-version of Mass MoCA’s experiential adventure: snatches of odd vocalizing and somber harmonizing, evocative of Gregorian chants, in a passageway lined with corrugated metal, part of a sound piece composed by Julianne Swartz, followed by a swarm of hundreds of yellowish-white LEDs spanning the wooden ceiling of an 80-foot-

long gallery. The piece by Spencer Finch, titled Cosmic Latte mimics the gentle arc of the Milky Way as observed from the Northern Hemisphere and attempts to duplicate the warm color of the universe as recently determined by two astrophysicists.

I finally arrive and sit down amidst the group arranged in the prow of the newly opened building. Roughly shaped like an ocean liner, the building is wedged between the north and south branches of the Hoosic River; and here its soaring spaces, both vertical and horizontal, are beautifully showcased, humanized by the worn, textured brick walls, the legions of huge multipaned windows, which flood much of the space with light, and the vistas of dim spaces marked by receding

DOUGLAS MASON

One of the new galleries in Building 6

as a print works, was an abandoned former electronics plant) was at the dais, talking about the newly installed Laurie Anderson studio and exhibition space and the installation of dozens of interactive homemade instruments by Gunnar Schonbeck, which visitors are invited to play themselves. Thompson was instrumental in shaping the museum as a dynamic institution of large-scale contemporary art whose changing exhibits would also serve as a kind of working studio for artists, with an emphasis on performance and interactivity with the public; and the new addition furthers that vision.

It also features long-term installations

by James Turrell, Jenny Holzer, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Rauschenberg and others. While the total exhibition space is nearly doubled, there are also additional workshops – for painting, welding and other kinds of fabrication – and a heightened capacity to host large-scale

performances. “We’ve upped our game with our ability to host the performing arts,” Thompson said, noting that dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones had been featured at the facility six weeks ago.

Mass MoCA is also extending its reach, with large-scale projections of text by Holzer on the building’s River Street side.

A light show created by Luftwerks called Cloudland starting at dusk will feature a series of blinking lights translating a Thoreau poem into Morse code, projected onto Mass MoCA’s tower and four nearby church steeples. Two sound installations downtown will extend the sound works at the museum – one consisting of a pop-up shed behind the new hotel at Main and Marshall, furnished with instruments made from salvaged building materials, built and played by Klaus Hubner and Andrew Schrock of New Orleans Airlift.

Thompson said that ushering in the post-industrial economy in the depressed milltown of North Adams has always

been central to Mass MoCA’s mission.

He said the space itself was developed at a fraction of the cost of the usual museum construction rate: $380 per square foot compared with $3,000 to $5,000. “We don’t gild the lily,” he said, noting that systems are left exposed and the complex’s industrial roughness preserved.

The effect of Mass MoCA, which comprises a third of the downtown, has been profound, although Thompson said that more progress needs to be made: Since the facility opened in 1999, the occupancy rate for downtown’s storefronts has soared from 20 percent to 60 percent. Employing 155, Mass MoCA also rents out space to 36 tenants, which accounts for another 350 people. A new resort hotel built by Wilco; the recent purchase of a nearby industrial complex by Greylock Works, a small manufacturing company from Brooklyn; and plans by Thomas Krens, the former director of the Guggenheim (and former colleague of Thompson’s, many decades ago, at the Williams College Museum of Art) for an 80,000-squarefoot model railroad museum featuring dioramas by various contemporary artists should further bolster the town’s fortunes.

Although the beginning was rocky – it took 12 years to open, and the funding seemed iffy at times – Mass MoCA is also a testament to the power of public/ private partnerships, Thompson said.

The state, unwavering in its support regardless of which political party was in office, coughed up $60 million, which have been matched by $125 million of private money invested in building renovations and programs. The aim is both to improve the quality of life in the community (North Adams residents get free admission) and to promote tourism, he said. Regarding the latter, Thompson said that Mass MoCA is planning to extend its programming in the off-season, given that during the summer, area hotels are at capacity. By nearly doubling its capacity, it also hopes to extend visitors’ stays in the area from a day or less to overnight or a full weekend – which, according to charts Thompson showed, results in a fourfold cost expenditure by tourists.

He said that by incorporating solar, biomass and other efficient green energies, as well as gradually installing interior storms on the windows, the building’s utility bill has been reduced by half, even as the interior space has tripled over time.

M

uch of the new exhibition space was developed based on existing relationships with artists, which date back to 2000 for Anderson and 2007 for Holzer (who also lives in the area); Turrell expressed his interest in crafting pieces here since the institution’s inception. The underlying denominator is “art that needs a lot of space and a lot of time to make,” Thompson said.

None of the work in the museum is permanent – though the exhibition could be extended once time is up, Thompson said – in part because he likes “the idea of a generational referendum. We’re serial daters.” In addition to accommodating more long-term exhibitions, the newly opened building has 30,000 square feet for temporary exhibitions and expanded storage space.

of which are situated within floating white walls that divide up the space, are organized along a central light well of stairs and catwalks illuminated by skylights. They had been closed up in the 1940s, so the renovation essentially restores the structure to its original lightflooded late-19th-century iteration, when it was used for printing bolts of fabric.

The exposed views of courtyards, as well as of the surrounding hills and town, give visitors the sense that “we quadrupled the space,” Thompson said.

The press tour started with a brief explanation by Barbara Ernst Prey of her monumental watercolor of the building interior before the renovation, which hangs in the triangular space of the prow.

Around the corner are two other building portraits: giant gray-and-white painterly photographs of the exterior taken from a mobile pinhole camera fashioned from a sea container. The artists, who call themselves the Optics Division of the Metabolic Studio, poured water from the Hoosic River over the paper as the images were being printed, imbuing them with ripples and suggesting reflections on the water, evocative of romantic 19th-century photography and a historic reference to the building’s past.

We passed Joe Wardwell, a Bostonbased artist, painting his enormous wall drawing, a mashup of text and details of the Ma s s a c h u s e tt s l a n d s c a p e spanning more than 40 feet.

Titled Hello America: 40 Hits from the 50 States, it was inspired

by J. G. Ballard’s 1981 novel Hello America.

In bright Pop colors and graphics, the mural incorporates 40 texts culled from political slogans, song lyrics, poems, speech excerpts and other sources; large letters embedded in the landscape of language and silhouetted treetops quote lyrics from the punk band Mission of Burma and others. The work functions as an environment, decipherable in bits and pieces by walking along and scanning the surface, so that one’s own body becomes the link between the dislocated elements of American culture.

A Quake in Paradise (Labyrinth); like Wardwell’s wall, the labyrinth is activated by the visitor’s movement through space.

An unusual piece by Louise Bourgeois, consisting of a hanging casta l u m i n u m sculpture called The Couple, which resembles a glistening knot of entrails, easily holds its own in the public space, while two carved marble works by her, never before displayed in public, hold court in a sectionedoff gallery, their white, truncated bodily forms carved into the surface as a deep relief subsumed into the stone, forming a memorial to the flesh.

In contrast to that somber space, the array of instruments made by the late Gunnar Schonbeck, who taught at Bennington College for many years, in two workshops invite the visitor’s own experimental musicmaking. Mark Stewart – a member of Bang on the Can and Paul Simon guitarist, who instigated the project – was on hand to demonstrate the tapping, sawing and plucking of the giant koto, metal harp, piano parts, octobass banjo, chimes, bells and other fanciful creations arranged on the floor or wall, hanging from the ceiling and stacked on shelves. Once the museum is open, “You’ ll hear a distant din” upon approaching the space, he said, predicting that kids will leave asking their fathers how they construct their own xylophones.

The interaction will be mediated by artificial intelligence in the series of galleries devoted to Laurie Anderson, who will also use the space as a working studio. Besides one large room displaying her large-scale, lively charcoal drawings of dogs, comprising

ART INSPIRED BY TRAVEL (REAL AND IMAGINED) IN WOODSTOCK

D

ion Ogust is opening her studio on Memorial Day weekend to showcase works inspired by the inward and outward travels of five artists, including herself. This exhibition will feature paintings, drawings and sketchbooks from Ogust, Kate McGloughlin, Janice LaMotta, Elizabeth Broad and Eileen Power. The studio at 33 Schoonmaker Lane in Woodstock is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday through Monday or by appointment through July 16.

another room, covered in black-andwhite cartoonlike paintings by her, the goggles and gloves will transform the space into a matrixlike architecture accompanied by dreamy narratives.

The series of galleries devoted to Holzer mainly consists of paintings topped by silkscreened blown-up redacted government documents relating to Guantanamo Bay and the war in Afghanistan after 9/11, which were obtained through the Freedom of Information Law. Many depict handprints, allegedly from the detainees; Holzer made paintings of the documents “because people want to preserve paintings,” said curator Alexandra Foradas. The exhibition also contains two tables of carefully arranged human bones (ethically sourced from hospitals and other places, according to the curator), some of which are embellished with silver bands, which are etched with short texts depicting acts of abuse against woman and children.

The standout exhibition series for me

was the nine James Turrell works – even though the installation was not quite complete. Through careful adjustment of illuminated openings constructed out of the wall, in which the light source is usually hidden, Turrell transforms light into a moving, palpable substance.

In the most monumental piece, visitors climb a set of stairs as if they were entering a stage and are submersed in a blue light; the blue space extends beyond to another opening in a domed room, which drops off four feet, further obfuscating the perception of space.

Every nine minutes, a series of strobe lights in various colors disorients the visitor, creating an optical effect in which one can actually perceive the structure of rods and cones in one’s eyes, according to Thompson.

The Sunday, May 28 opening will be accompanied by food trucks, Nick Cave’s Soundsuit parade, live music and other events, capped off by an outdoor concert

by Cake that evening at 8 p.m. From June 23 to 25, Mass MoCA will also host Solid Sound, a music festival featuring

Wayne Montecalvo encaustics show opens this Sunday at TSL Currently living and working in Rosendale, Wayne Montecalvo is an interdisciplinary artist, immersed in video, audio, painting and sculpture media. He came out of Edison, New Jersey, by way of the School of Visual Art in New York City, and he's now a SUNY-New Paltz teacher. In addition to showing in multiple art galleries

and museums, Montecalvo has also lent his talent to local performance groups Redwing Blackbird Theater and Cave Dogs. Silkscreen printing on a variety of surfaces – glass, wood, Plexiglas, encaustic paint, shellac, pigment stick, powdered graphite, tea, coffee, rust, paprika powder, gold and silver leaf and enamel paint – the artist “obscures and manipulates the image and the physical surface to create one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a visual story.”

When asked about this process, Montecalvo explained, “Sometimes I’ll print directly on a surface or a substrate.

I’ve been using this thin Japanese paper, and if you put wax on top of it, it acts as an adhesive – and also makes the paper transparent to the point where it

disappears and the image remains. The pieces are piled or layered on top of each other. Certain colors are taken out of the image and put back in later. Certain distortions are manipulated after, and sometimes during, the printing process.

I’m using encaustic without a pigment in it. Beeswax: It’s relatively clear, so that images read through from underneath.

Each layer is encapsulated in wax.

“I want them to be unique images that cannot be repeated exactly. There are some components that might be the same [from one piece to the next], but it depends on how the thing was printed. For example, when you screenprint, you have a squeegee that pushes all the ink through to get the image. But what I’m doing is just parts of it – not flooding the screen completely with ink, letting those gaps happen – and I get a lot of vacant areas in the print. I don’t want to say it’s a mistake, but if you were printing some poster for someone, it’s not what they would want. I’m trying to use distortion – part-image, less information – and compiling it again.”

I ask if he ever ends up with something that just doesn’t work. “Actually, I’m kind of looking for failure, especially working on the very thin paper. I’ll do several prints, and I can choose which ones will work and which ones don’t. I have options. As far as the ones that are ‘a complete failure,’ they’re just images I’ve saved but haven’t used at that point. There are prints I just don’t like, but I wouldn’t call them complete failures. They might be used somewhere else in another piece. I can cut them apart and reassemble them.” Such unplannedbut-controlled results become cause for “discovery…chance occurrences to create a new way to see a familiar object.”

Montecalvo spent two months in Japan learning traditional papermaking

techniques. The residency at the Awagami Paper Factory in Tokushima challenged the artist to alter his typical processes, because the facility there did not offer silkscreen printing. “So I used a digital printer and manipulated the images in Photoshop, and then took the paper that I made and distressed it. I used a lot of stains with coffee, bleach, India ink: experiments to try to change the image from just a digital print.” When asked how the environment might have influenced his artwork, he said, “I thought the whole culture was interesting, more than it influencing or not influencing my artwork. It wasn’t a priority to go and be influenced. I just went with an open mind to learn how to do the paper.

And there were some limitations.”

Some of the large digital prints that Montecalvo produced in Japan are being shown at Time and Space Limited in Hudson this month. “Blotched Surface” is on exhibit in the TSL Gallery through June. The Gallery is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. An artist’s reception is being held this Sunday, May 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. Rob Caldwell will be on hand with some music, and refreshments will be available.

Rondout Rowing Club offers National Learn to Row Day activities in Kingston National Learn to Row Day is sponsored by USRowing and Concept2 (manufacturers of oars and indoor rowing machines), and it takes place nationwide on the first Saturday in June. Rowing clubs and health clubs all over America aim to promote recreational rowing, a sport that challenges each individual to push his or her physical limits while working as a team to glide across rivers, lakes and streams. Locally, avid rowers will meet in the Historic Rondout District, where the Rondout Rowing Club is ready to put people into boats and get them out on the glassy waters of the Rondout Creek.

“Last year on National Learn to Row Day, we invited friends and passers-by to join our crews for a short ride on the Rondout Creek,” says Nelsie Aybar-Grau, president of the Rondout Rowing Club. “We got people into boats as quickly as possible, and the event went rather well. This year we have added the opportunity to watch a

full-length film on rowing on the Hudson, made by the Poughkeepsie based MidHudson Rowing Association, titled The History of Rowing on the Hudson. This will be shown at the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s East Gallery the night before National Learn to Row Day, so that the broader community can see how rowing has been in the history of our area for a very long time.”

The History of Rowing on the Hudson will be screened on Friday, June 2 at 7 p.m., showing the region’s history, including championship regattas from as early as 1824. (The suggested donation is $5, and snacks will be available for purchase.)

The big daytime event will take place on Saturday, June 3, when rowing clubs and health clubs throughout the US – more than 110 organizations have registered to host National Learn to Row Day programs – will be dipping oars at the same time. The not-for-profit Rondout Rowing Club is a member-supported volunteer organization dedicated to community rowing, as well as the promotion and support of water sports on the Hudson River and Rondout Creek.

Formed in 1999, the Club has around 80 members, from novice to intermediate and advanced rowers. This includes the local Kingston High School Crew, which competes (and wins!) in such races as the Triangulars Regatta in Poughkeepsie.

The Rondout Rowing Club provides the equipment and insurance for the crew rowing activities of high school students, as well as adult rowers.

Competitive and recreational rowers range in age from 12 to over 90, and they say it’s never too early or too late to take up the sport. Come check it out, and visit the local club’s Facebook page at http:// bit.ly/2ryjRw8 for some photos of last year’s event. The event is free, but seating is limited, so register early by sending an e-mail to rondoutrowingclub@gmail. com. Participants must be 12 years of age or older, be able to swim and tread water for ten minutes while putting on a life vest, be in good physical condition and sign a waiver to USRowing and the Rondout Rowing Club.

Gilboa Museum screens silent film Spirit of the USA this Sunday Catskills regional history is kept alive by small bands of enthusiasts. You know them: the people who meet regularly to spruce up the local historical society’s headquarters and talk about old times and new finds. They often operate solely on the energy and commitment of volunteers, who manage to put together programs and raise funds and work to educate the public. They connect with other historical groups to share information and develop a more comprehensive picture of our past.

And on occasion, efforts mesh to celebrate history in unique ways. The Zadock Pratt Museum in Greene County’s Prattsville has joined with the Gilboa Historical Society in Schoharie County to present an event that will appeal to moviegoers, history buffs and jazz fans alike. The 1924 silent film The Spirit of the USA is scheduled to be shown twice on Sunday, May 28 at the Gilboa Museum and Juried History Center. The film is about two brothers on the battlefield during World War I and the back-home struggles of the family trying to protect the family farm from going underwater – by means of the construction of a dam.

Sound familiar? Carolyn Bennett, longtime director of the Pratt Museum, writes, “If you’re not already familiar with Gilboa’s history, read up on New York City’s quest for water at the beginning of the 20th century and the destruction of Gilboa in 1925. You’ll see why an unintended message at the film’s end holds a special meaning for the people of Gilboa.” The film’s plot could instigate some discussion

the museum’s recent renovation, a 1924 movie poster for The Spirit of the USA was found in the walls of the basement, prompting said local small band of enthusiasts to come up with this event.

To have landed the musical genius of a world-class pianist to accompany the silent film with his own music makes them even prouder. David Arner is described as “a composter, improviser, pianist, percussionist, harpsichordist making music that is jazz, classical, free, improvisational, abstract, referential, tonal, atonal, melodic, harmonic, driving and/or dreamlike.” He’s also recognized as a pioneer in the revitalization of live music for silent films, performing since 1986 in

venues throughout the country.

Bennett says, “This is one of the coolest history/cinema/jazz events that I’ve ever encountered in my more than three decades in this part of the woods. Greene/Schoharie is fast becoming part of the cultural/arts landscape of the northern Catskills.” Free popcorn and lemonade will be available.

Seating is limited, so come early.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Flower fest Chinese yellowhorn & tree peony put on a late blossom show

W

ith blossoms spent on forsythias, lilacs, fruit trees and clove currants, spring’s flamboyant flower show had subsided – or so I thought.

Pulling into my driveway, I was pleasantly startled by the profusion of orchidlike blossoms on the Chinese yellowhorn tree (Xanthoceras sorbifolium). And I again let out an audible “Wow!” as I stepped onto my terrace, when three fat red blossoms, each the size of a dinner plate, stared back at me from my tree peony.

Both plants originate in Asia. Both plants are easy to grow. Both plants have an unfortunate short bloom period, more or less depending on the weather. Fortunately, both plants also are attractive, though more sedately, even after their blossoms fade.

The tree peonies have such a weird growth habit. I had read that they were very slow to grow, so was quite pleased, years ago, when each of the branches on my new plant extended its reach more than a foot by the end of its first growing season. Tree peony is a small shrub; at that rate, mine would be full-sized within a very few years – or so I imagined.

The tree peony still grows that much every year. But every year many stems also die back about a foot – more following cold winters. No matter, though, because every May, giant silky red flowers unfold from the remaining fat buds along the stem.

I originally planted Chinese yellowhorn not for its flowers, but for the fruits that follow the flowers. Each fruit is a dry capsule that later in summer starts to split open to reveal within a clutch of shiny brown macadamia-sized nuts. Yellowhorn frequently makes it onto permaculture plant lists, with the edible nuts billed as having macadamialike flavor also. Not true. I’ve tried them raw and roasted. Roasting does change the flavor; but raw or roasted, the flavor is bad.

Still, those blossoms make yellowhorn well worth growing. And after the blossoms fade, this small tree is adorned with shiny, lacy leaves. Much like the tree peony, yellowhorn grows many new stems each year, and many of the stems die back – not necessarily from winter cold, but because they’re seemingly deciduous. I tidied the tree up last week by pruning off all the dead stems.

Gardening requires a lot of rational actions. I shouldn’t, for instance, plant out tomatoes just because one day in April, or even a few days in April, are exceptionally warm. I rely on calendar dates rather than daily weather for when to plant various seeds and transplants. I’ve come up with these dates by learning how much cold plants tolerate and how warm temperatures develop in spring around here, averaged over the years.

Today, with temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, I may not be able to restrain myself. It’s hard to imagine that temperatures could still plummet below freezing at least one night sometime in the next week or so. I’ve already ignored that “should” and a few days ago moved houseplants outdoors.

Why the rush? First of all, houseplants enjoy growing outdoors more than growing indoors. Outside, breezes rustling leaves and stems make for stronger, stockier growth, and rain showering the leaves washes off a winter’s accumulation of dirt and grime.

After a winter indoors, the plants do need to acclimate to these conditions, which is why they start their outdoor vacation on the terrace on the north side of the house,

which blocks wind and, for part of the day, sunlight.

I also urged the plants outdoors because populations of aphids and scale insects were outgrowing the appetites of the ladybugs crawling up and down the stems. Outside, natural predators keep pests in check; and if necessary, I can spritz the plants down to knock off pests and spray soap or summer oil to kill them without worrying about getting spray or oil on windows, walls or furniture.

Even tender seeds such as corn, squash and beans, can be sown now. The earth has warmed enough for decent germination, and by the time the plants are up, warm weather will have settled in for the season.

Tomorrow I plant sweet corn. Kinky as it sounds, I’m anxious to sink my teeth into a freshly picked ear.

Livestock Foundation Launches 2017 Programming Calling on Community to Name the Farm, Lead Summer Workshops and Apply for New Mini-Grant Program. Livestock Foundation announced today that it is currently seeking creative community submissions to name the farm they recently purchased in Bovina Center.

The Farm, formerly owned by the Hilson family, was purchased by the Foundation in late December 2016. The lands and facilities are currently undergoing renovations so the farm may open to the public in 2018 as a destination for food and agricultural engagement in the Catskill Mountains. The farm naming contest closes on Friday, May 19th. All options received will be shared through social media and the winning name will be announced on June 1st. The winner will be credited in related promotion and enjoy exclusive access to the farm when it opens to the public next year.

Livestock Foundation is also in the process of developing a series of workshops for the summer 2017 season and is calling on our community for instructors. Workshops should be community focused and teach a skill that enhances the rural lifestyle. All proposals must be received by Monday, May 22nd for consideration. On Thursday, June 1st, community and business members are invited to apply for Livestock Foundation’s Mini-Grant Program. Funding will support community projects that enable the economic viability and historic preservation of Bovina.

Visit the organization’s new website at livestockfoundation.org to learn more about plans for the farm; make a donation and become a member; or to access more information about the farm naming contest, workshop proposals and the grant program. Questions can also be directed to Executive Director, Sonia Janiszewski, via email at sonia@ livestockfoundation.org.
