the cause of a peaceful, nuclear-energyfree future.

The festival originated with the Japanese tradition of “Obon,” the Buddhist ritual of remembering and reconnecting with ancestors and family, which this year runs from August 13 to 15. Communities in Japan will gather to celebrate by dancing “Bon-Odori” together.

Yamamoto began the summer event in the Hudson Valley in response to the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that resulted in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant meltdown in March of 2011. With the awareness that similar disasters can happen anywhere, any day, she says, the festival was inspired

by Livia and Bill Vanaver, directors of the Vanaver Caravan dance company, “who believe that by dancing together we can provide communities with an opportunity and the energy to unite and set a life goal to build a peaceful, non-nuclear future for generations to come.”

The festival includes live music and dance by the Minbuza Japanese Folk Dance Company and Taiko drummer Stuart Paton. There will be food vendors, martial arts demonstrations and tablers with information on alternative energies, moderate energy consumption, green lifestyles and different cultures. Attendees will be invited to join the closing Bon-Odori dance, after which Buddhist monk Kenjitsu Nakagaki will conduct a ritual to pray for the victims of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster.

Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde

Kicking down the Wall Charlize Theron earns her “next Bond� badge the hard way in Atomic Blonde

S

ummerweight cinema fare, ideally, ought always to include a James Bond movie, don’t you think? We won’t see one this year, what with Daniel Craig playing hard-to-get and no successor as yet lined up, but we do get a reasonable facsimile in Atomic Blonde, in which the formidable Charlize Theron deservedly zooms to the top of the list of plausible female Bonds.

The analogy doesn’t hold 100 percent of the way; yes, it’s a stylish spy thriller set during the Cold War, with a lead character who works for MI6 and kicks Eastern-European-accented bad-guy butt with spectacular panache at frequent intervals. What it lacks to make it purely Bondish: espionage-handy technological gimcracks (aside from some rather prosaic 1980s-vintage recording equipment and a wristwatch loaded with an incriminating dossier); vehicles modified to do things that vehicles aren’t normally supposed to do; a cartoonish supervillain bent on World Domination.

A current article in GQ also whinges that Theron’s elite secret agent Lorraine Broughton could never be the next Bond-equivalent because we only ever

see her having disposable sex with one other person in the course of the film.

The average GQ reader might agree, I suppose. But in recent years, even the real 007 movies have started to move on from the Bond-girls-as-Kleenex trope.

Broughton is up-front with her Atomic Blonde playmate – a French agent played by Sofia Boutella – that for her, sexual encounters are all about gleaning information; we never really do find out

whether Theron’s character’s primary predilection is for women, men, both or neither. Agent Broughton looks smokinghot (in a classy way) but plays it cool, and if that isn’t Bondian, I don’t know what is.

Truth be told, Theron delivers her international spy with much more pronounced physicality than any 007 I've ever seen. It just tends to manifest more in stairwells of seedy Berlin buildings than in elegant boudoirs. The first time we

see her (in the “present�), she’s entirely nude, covered in bruises and soaking in a bathtub full of ice cubes. Most of the narrative progresses in flashback, showing us blow-by-blow exactly how she got them.

For all its lack of gadgetry and explosives, Atomic Blonde is very definitely an action movie, and its fight sequences – of which there are many – are not for the faint of heart. If you’ve ever found yourself rolling your eyes at how neatly movie superspies usually dispatch their adversaries and then dust themselves off with barely a wince, you may find this one’s approach to hand-to-hand combat refreshingly‌ well, I won’t say realistic, but it does conform to the laws of physics and the vulnerabilities of human physiology more closely than the usual onscreen depiction.

Agent Broughton’s battles take time to resolve.

It turns out that first-time solo director David Leitch (he was uncredited codirector, with Chad Stahelski, on 2014’s much-praised actioner John Wick) put in a couple of decades as a stuntman and stunt coordinator before taking the helm here, and it shows. The fight choreography is splendidly messy and visceral; better yet, it doesn’t rely on slick, choppy editing to evoke a visual illusion of mayhem. This spy is one tough babe who pays a price for

James McAvoy, who was so good as that guy with multiple personalities in Split, gets to flex his thespian talents again as Percival, the scuzzy Berlin station chief to whom Broughton is assigned to report. Her British bosses (Toby Jones, James Faulkner) and their CIA colleague (John Goodman) fear that Percival has “gone native” to excess, and indeed, she immediately finds him milking a lucrative sideline in the black market. From the get-go, multiple doubts are raised as to who’s on whose side and who is working both ends against the middle. Serious espionage buffs may work it all out before this reviewer did, but very little is quite what it seems, as one expects from a decent spy thriller.

Atomic Blonde isn’t brilliant, but it’s solid – or as solid as a fluffball summer movie is likely to get. If you miss it, the world will go on turning. If you catch it, your price of admission won’t be entirely wasted. The big screen’s current reigning female badass will see to that.

H

e’s a small-town boy who loves big cities, a tuba major who discovered opera-singing in Memphis, Tennessee and a world-traveling opera singer who has made the tiny Ulster County hamlet of Phoenicia an acknowledged summer destination for lovers of the vocal arts.

Those seeming contradictions and incongruities say a lot about Louis Otey and the Festival of the Voice that he and fellow singers Maria Todaro and Kerry Henderson established eight years ago: Opera is a type of magic that can take root in unlikely places and unsuspecting hearts.

Otey grew up in the small (population

2,341) town of Flandreau, South Dakota.

His father was a doctor who moved the family to Flandreau because he wanted to practice medicine in a small town. Louis’ early interest in music took the form of the tuba. He was 19 years when a music professor at Memphis State College and former opera singer named Ethel Maxwell introduced him to the joys of opera.

While Memphis was the home and launching pad of some of the world's greatest pop music stars (it’s the home, after all, of Graceland), it also had a decent-sized opera company where the likes of Beverly Sills and Richard Tucker would perform. Otey, a baritone/bass, joined a small touring company that sounds more like a rock ‘n’ roll outfit than an opera company of any sort.

“It was a great way to train,” he said.

“We’d rent a truck and go to places like Mississippi and Arkansas. We’d get to the theater, unload the truck, the props, do our own makeup and costumes, perform, get back in the truck and hit the road.”

He honed his craft for five years in Memphis, then spent the next two years at the Houston Grand Opera before making the leap, in 1981, to New York City: the legendary graveyard of aspiring performers from the minors – except Otey suffered none of the usual indignities. His experience with the Houston company resulted in his landing an agent right out of the gate. “I never had to wait tables – thank God.” Thus began a career that has spanned more than 30 years, including 11 years as a member of the Metropolitan Opera, where a list of the roles that he has sung, and the number of cities to which those performances have sent him, can only be described as monumental. And for all those years, he said, he was entirely happy living in and around the big city – until he discovered Phoenicia.

Otey and his wife, mezzo-soprano Maria Todaro, were drawn to the area as the result of a recording that she had made in France and was refashioning in Woodstock. The couple rented a house in Phoenicia, enjoyed a couple of meals at Sweet Sue’s; and before long, they’d bought the house as a second home and then made it their permanent residence.

Louis Otey, lover of big cities, found himself living in a community even smaller than his hometown; Phoenicia's official population was 309 in 2010.

That was also the year Otey, Todaro and Henderson mounted a one-off concert called “Opera under the Stars” to raise money for a kids’ playground.

The concert was so successful that its organizers were faced with a question

they hadn’t anticipated: “When are you going to do it again?” Their answer was the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, the biggest little festival of its kind anywhere, with much of the work performed by local volunteers, sometimes estimated to comprise two-thirds of the hamlet’s population.

And so the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, against all odds and expectations, will present yet another ambitious program of musical delights that will include, La Bohème, the first

VOIR LA VIE EN ROSE La Bohème anchors French-accented Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice this weekend

I

f your only acquaintance with Giacomo Puccini’s beloved opera La Bohème is as the source material for the stage musical Rent, maybe it’s time that you got to know the original. This would normally involve costly tickets and a trip down to Manhattan, but this weekend you’re in luck: A Saturday-night performance of La Bohème, featuring several Metropolitan Opera veterans, will be the centerpiece of the eighth annual Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice.

Directed by Maria Todaro, conducted by David Wroe and starring John Osborn, Lynette Tapia, Lucas Meachem, Richard Bernstein and Mireille Asselin, the show begins at 8 p.m. on August 5 on the Main Stage in Phoenicia Park.

Since La Bohème, even though it was composed by an Italian, is set in the Paris art demimonde, Festival of the Voice organizers have picked “It’s a French Affair” as this year’s organizing theme. The three-day celebration of all things vocal kicks off on Friday evening, August 4 with a “Voices of Distinction” program dedicated to characteristically Parisian café music: dances

by Jacques Offenbach (including a live can-can performance) and chansons by the likes of Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel.

The Festival’s popular Latte Lectures return at 10 a.m. on Saturday (on La Bohème) and Sunday (on gospel music’s influence on Duke Ellington). There will be participatory Shape Note/Sacred Harp workshops both mornings as well, beginning at 11 a.m. The Cambridge Chamber Singers will perform a cappella renditions of Renaissance motets at noon on Saturday. Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m., you can catch the premiere of the first operatic version of The Three Musketeers, with libretto by Maria Todaro set to music by composer Mitchell Bach, reportedly a direct descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach. A discussion will follow.

On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, you can join the audience for master classes in which promising young vocal students work on individual pieces with master singer/teachers. Courtesy of the Catskill Jazz Factory, the weekend ends with percussionist John Lumpkin’s septet, featuring vocalists Brianna Thomas and Vuyo Sotashe, exploring “The Spiritual Side of Duke.”

Festival of the Voice events take place in multiple venues in Phoenicia, with ticket prices ranging from $5 to $90, but mostly from $25 to $35 for general admission. For the schedule and other information, or to order tickets, call (845) 688-3291 or visit www.phoeniciavoicefest.org.

It is themed “A French Affair,” and will feature everything from an opening-night French can-can to a full-scale production of La Bohème on Saturday at 8 p.m. at an amphitheater in Phoenicia Park. The Festival will also

present the world premiere of an original operatic adaptation of Dumas’ The Three Musketeers. It closes on Sunday with the “Spiritual Side of Duke,” paying homage to Duke Ellington’s sacred concerts that combine jazz, classical and gospel music.

8 Kings of Leon play Bethel Woods this Sunday

Tennessee’s Kings of Leon (two brothers and a cousin) emerged in the aughts of the new millennium as one of the last of the viable arena-rock guitar bands. On its records, the band honors both its Southern roots and the sonics of the Radiohead age. Their live performances are legendary.

Accompanied by Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, the Kings of Leon perform at the Bethel Center for the Arts on Sunday, August 6 at 7 p.m.

Reserved seats range in price from $53.45 to $109.95. Lawn seating costs $37.95. For more information, visit www. bethelwoodscenter.org. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

Shemekia Copeland plays Beacon’s Towne Crier this Saturday Blues vocalist Shemekia Copeland, already a three-time Grammy nominee in her early 30s, performs on Saturday, August 5 at the Towne Crier Café in Beacon. Copeland’s latest record, 2015’s Grammy-nominated Outskirts of Love, is a ballsy throwback of a blues record, stripped-down and heavy on distorted guitars – no surprise there, as Copeland is the daughter of Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Copeland. Outskirts of Love was produced by Oliver Wood of the Wood brothers, who also co-wrote several of its songs. Local powerhouse Soul Purpose opens.

The show begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $35. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon. For more information, visit www.townecrier.com.

presents the lively and unlikely combination of klezmer and gospel on Sunday, August 6. Raise Your Spirits discovers the natural affinity of the two forms, pairing klezmer artist Rich Chiger with the dynamic singer René Bailey and the Saints of Swing.

Chiger’s music reflects Yiddish and Broadway traditions. Bailey is a renowned blues, jazz and gospel singer and the featured singer at the Peg Leg Bates Country Club for over 20 years.

She has performed with Louis Armstrong, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and many more.

Tickets cost $15. ASK is located at 97 Broadway in Kingston. For more information, visit www.askforarts.org.

Martin Sexton at Bearsville this Saturday

Raise Your Spirits this Sunday at Arts Society of Kingston The Arts Society of Kingston (ASK)

To say that the accomplished singer/ songwriter Martin Sexton is a local favorite is a bit redundant. Tireless in the studio as on the road, Sexton is pretty much a local favorite everywhere. The Syracuse native with the distinctive voice will still be touring in support of his ninth studio record, Mixtape of the Open Road, when he hits the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Saturday, August 5 at 9 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $30 to $50.

Down-to-Earth Music Festival coming up at secret location The Down-to-Earth (DTE) Music Festival is cleverly titled. It is a somewhat-jam leaning four-day freakout in the woods, and as such, the title speaks to the organic values of the scene. However, in case you’ve been on walkabout and didn’t know, that scene has merged in a big way with the tech-enabled cutting edge of electro/ organic hybrids – trance, psych, acid and ambient, et cetera – for well over a decade now, and Down-to-Earth can

also mean…you know, coming home to Ferndale in our spaceships. That aspect of the scene is amply represented in DTE’s overstuffed lineup, which features such headliners as Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Nosia, Liquid Ranger, Koan Sound and Alvin Risk.

In Europe, this lineup might draw upwards of half a million people. Let’s see what it does in Ferndale.

Down-to-Earth takes place between Friday, August 18 and Monday, August 21. The mysterious location and at least some of the pertinent information can be discovered, if you’re persistent, at http:// dtemusicfestival.com. Good luck with this.

Colony in Woodstock hosts Belew, Levin, Mastelotto & Friends next Friday Robert Fripp famously hated it when King Crimson was lumped in with such exponents of prog/rock as Yes and Genesis; but Crimson was prog/rock indeed, as Peter Sinfeld’s occasionally pinchworthy lyrics conclusively prove, so deal with it, Robert. In fact, I have long contended that the Belew/Levin-era King Crimson of the early ‘80s into the ‘90s reenergized the prog/rock tradition and may well have saved it from its own excesses and misguided middle brow pretentions, providing an alternative, lean and funky model of what prog could be that the genre continues to invoke to this day.

On that trio of revolutionary ‘80s records (Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair), the quartet of Fripp, Belew, Levin and Bruford took the prog/rock impulse, shaved off its floridness and pseudophilosophical bullshit and successfully associated it with some cool things that were happening at the time in the nonprog world: the guitar sonics of the Police and XTC, the Afro aesthetic of Eno and Talking Heads, the stark pattern study of academic Minimalism and its linguistic equivalents in postmodern poetry.

Man, did it work. Fripp himself is not an especially soulful player, nor does he aim to be; be he sure had good instincts when he paired his own stepwise, mathy style with the fluid, wild, animalistic and

soulful musical personality of Adrian Belew (who was also charged with the lyrics and singing, which he discharged admirably). Meanwhile, Levin and Bruford discovered a radical polyrhythmic urgency, often enabled by Tony’s mastery of the uniquely contrapuntal Chapman Stick, that was like nothing any of us had ever heard before.

Much has happened in that circle of players in the last few decades: fallingouts and reconciliations and lots of new music. I can’t speak to who is speaking with whom, but I am thrilled to see Belew, Levin and Pat Mastelotto (Crimson drummer from Thrak forward and – notably – one of the world’s tiny handful of drummers who have played on an XTC album) getting together to play the beautiful new Colony in Woodstock.

The show mysteriously adds “and friends� to the event title, and with cats like this, “and friends� is a pretty exciting prospect.

Five intrepid volunteer sailors are needed for the Andalucía’s voyage from Kingston to Ocean City, Maryland.

Treasure ship Board El Galeón Andalucía this weekend at Rondout Landing “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”

– Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

I

f you’ve got salt water in your blood, but no opportunity for a summer vacation someplace more coastal than the mid-Hudson Valley, the next-best thing is usually to spend half a fine day on the Rondout waterfront. If you have any imagination at all, you can easily fancy yourself relaxing at some subtropical beach or a rocky New England seaport. And it helps a lot when a replica of some historic ship is tied up at the dock beside the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM), ready to devour with the eyes or even to climb aboard.

This trend on the Hudson River arguably got started in the 1960s when Pete Seeger’s “folk picnics” raised the money to build the Clearwater, based on plans for Dutch sloops that plied this river a couple of centuries ago. Since then the Mystic Whaler has become a familiar sight, and we’ve enjoyed visits from Henry Hudson’s Half Moon, the Viking longship Draken Harald Hårfagre last fall and Columbus’ Niña a few weeks ago. Just a glimpse of such a beauty under full sail is enough to transport one to a more romantic time as well as another place.

This weekend, the parade of tall ships continues with a visit to Kingston from El Galeón Andalucía, a modern replica of the type of vessel used by the Spanish

El Galeón Andalucía will dock in Kingston from Saturday, August 5 through Tuesday, August 8 and be open for deck tours.

Crown for maritime exploration and trade expeditions from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Not particularly speedy, but strong and seaworthy, with a deep keel and ample space for cargo and cannons, a galleon of the Fleet of the Indies could easily hold its own in a battle against pirates seeking a share in the plunder of the Americas or the Philippines. A typical galleon had at least three masts – the forward ones square-rigged and the aft ones bearing lateen sails – and multiple levels of decks.

Designed and built by naval engineer/ historian Ignacio Fernández Vial on commission from Fundación Nao Victoria, and launched in 2009 out of the port of Huelva in Spain, the Andalucía is 164 feet long, with a 33-foot beam, 10.5foot draft and 500-ton gross tonnage.

How they’re going to moor that thing within boarding distance of the HRMM seems like an interesting navigational challenge; but she has already navigated the Pacific and Indian Oceans, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and her wake has spread over the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the South and East China Seas, the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Strait and the Caribbean Sea, covering thousands of nautical miles in an attempt to evoke her ancestors.

BOOKS Clothesminded Costume designer Tracy Tynan reads from Wear and Tear: The Threads of My Life, her memoir of Bohemian London, on Saturday in Rhinebeck

F

or Proust’s narrator, it was a petite madeleine that evoked the past. For Tracy Tynan, it’s clothing: applegreen shoes. Her mother’s Pucci dress.

A black trenchcoat. In Tynan’s candid memoir, Wear and Tear: The Threads of My Life (Scribner, 2016), each of the 36 chapters tells a story prompted by the memories associated with an item of clothing from her past. Together, the stories add up to a vivid depiction of the Bohemian London world of the ’50s and ’60s in which Tynan was raised and the years that followed, leading to her current life in Los Angeles as a costume designer working in film.

Tynan will mark the paperback release of her memoir with a reading at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Saturday, August 5 at 6 p.m. Admission is free, but an RSVP is requested at http://bit.ly/2u212U9.

Writing a memoir, says Tynan, brings to mind a comment by the poet and essayist Mary Karr: “She said that writing a memoir is like punching yourself in the face! And you know, there is a bit of that.

There are parts that are cathartic, and parts that are painful to relive, to burrow down into. And it’s just trying to figure out what was really going on.”

As the only child of successful novelist and biographer Elaine Dundy and the notorious theater critic and writer Kenneth Tynan – his credits include both The New Yorker and the racy 1969 musical Oh! Calcutta!

– Tracy was the calm in the storm in the household in which she grew up, weathering with composure her parents’ mercurial marriage, epic rages and outrageous behavior. Watching her parents battle it out while safely snuggled in her mother’s fur coat was the equivalent of watching a horror film, Tracy remembers: terrifying, but also mesmerizing. And with all that chaos going on in her home, she says she took the only role that was left: the adult.

All that high drama left her with a taste for the dramatic for the rest of her life. High drama seems normal, after all, when it’s all that one knows. But there was something else that occurred in the rarefied atmosphere of her parents’ glamorous parties, peopled with the stylish and famous (Cecil Beaton and Katharine Hepburn were her godparents, although she only met the latter once): Tracy was exposed to unique and eclectic fashion on a daily basis.

Her father, in particular, was well-known for his extravagant sartorial choices, even before he became an established part of the cultural glitterati. A fellow British theater critic remembers a young Kenneth Tynan wearing a bottle-green suit made from the fabric that normally covers pool

Tracy Tynan’s memoir Wear and Tear: The Threads of My Life features stories from the fashionable lives of her parents, theater critic Kenneth Tynan and novelist Elaine Dundy (pictured above, dressed in twin faux-leopardskin pants).

tables. Tracy’s mother writes in her own memoir of the get-up that Kenneth Tynan was wearing when they met: plum-colored trousers with a camel-hair jacket, yellow socks and a Mickey Mouse wristwatch.

And the photograph depicting her parents chatting with each other on an animalprint-upholstered couch wearing fanciful matching leopardskin-print leggings says it all.

With this type of influence at home, it’s no surprise that early on in her life, Tracy developed an admitted obsession with what people wear. One of the things that she finds so interesting about clothing, she says, is the power it has to transform attitudes and impressions, like the way that a garment becomes intertwined with memories of the experiences one had wearing it.

“You can have a good experience wearing an item of clothing and so you always associate it with that; you have your ‘lucky suit’ when you got a job, or something like that. But if you have a bad experience wearing something, even though the piece of clothing is perfectly all right, it’s like it’s jinxed. You don’t want to wear it again.”

And clothing can symbolize milestones.

One item particularly evocative for Tynan is a pair of apple-green shoes: the first purchase she made at age 14, when getting a clothing allowance for the first time freed her from endless tussles with her mother over her clothing choices. “The shoes were expensive, so I was taking the risk that maybe I wouldn’t have much else to wear. But I had these great shoes, and that was kind of a starting point in my clothing obsession.”

More than that, however, “It was kind of a moment of liberation for me, that I was getting to choose what I wanted to wear,” she says. As Tynan wrote in the book, “In a world where most everything else felt out of control, having control over the clothes I wore filled a hole.” She wore the shoes for two more years – a symbol to herself of “the beginning of walking on my own two feet, walking away from my parents and toward freedom.”

A young Kenneth Tynan wore a bottle-green suit made from the fabric that normally covers pool tables.

KEN LOCKER

Author/costume designer Tracy Tynan's godparents were Cecil Beaton and Katherine Hepburn, and she grew up in the rarefied atmosphere of her parents' glamorous parties, peopled with the stylish and famous.

When asked if the exposure to fashion that she had from the showbiz world around her growing up informed her work today as a costume designer, Tynan says she thinks that the effect has been more about the way it showed her how people present themselves differently in different items of clothing. “That’s what you’re doing as a costume designer; you’re taking a character in a film and trying to communicate to the audience something about that character by the clothes they wear, and by the choices they make…is everything freshly pressed? Is it crumpled? Is it last year’s fashion or is it fashion-forward…is it expensive, how much do they earn, do they shop at WalMart or do they shop at Prada? All those layers, hopefully, in a well-designed film, come through.”

The collaborative process of costume design is very rewarding, Tynan says.

“You’re with a photographer, and a production designer, and they each have various views from the director about the look of the movie, the colors, the style… I like the collaborative process a lot.”

The book took her six years to write.

Tynan says that she doesn’t think she would have written it while her parents were alive – “It just wouldn’t have been appropriate, I think” – but at the same time, she isn’t spilling the beans on them, by any means. “I didn’t really feel in any way constrained, I have to say. They wrote

a lot about their own lives; my mother wrote a memoir, my father [published] his diaries. There’s a lot of information already out there about this family, and there’s nothing in my memoir that isn’t known already, whether it’s alcoholism or my father’s predilections for sadomasochism.

None of that is secret.”

And while Tynan is frank in recounting her memories, it’s done with a light touch and sense of perspective. “My parents were complicated people and they had a complicated upbringing. They weren’t really the best equipped to be parents. I understood why they were like they were, and they were doing the best they could.”

We all do the best we can with what we have, she adds, “and when you become a parent, you realize how incredibly difficult it is, how many pitfalls there are.”

Tynan can be found on Instagram at “tynanthreads,” where she posts “the daily clothing report” with images of clothing accompanied by brief commentary.

“Magnificently tattered” Artists take over abandoned Catskill farmhouse to create “58 Snake” benefit exhibition

A

re you a believer in the concepts that everything is interconnected and that in art, as in other aspects of our existence, context matters? If so, you’ll be pleased to hear that an uninhabited Catskill farmhouse – situated adjacent to property along Catskill Creek where

58 Snake is adjacent to recently protected property along Catskill Creek where Thomas Cole sketched some of his Hudson River School paintings Thomas Cole sketched some of his Hudson River School paintings, and recently protected by Scenic Hudson and the Greene Land Trust – is now being made available for an art exhibition. Titled “58 Snake” after the circa-1880 Second Empire brick building’s street address, the show opens next Saturday, August 12 with an artists’ reception from 2 to 5 p.m.

The farmhouse is described as “magnificently tattered,” featuring remnants of hand-stenciled wallpaper, clawfoot tubs, sweeping banisters, handcarved wooden mantels, ten-foot ceilings and a many-windowed porch wrapped. At present it lacks electricity and running water, but if you’re more interested in vintage architecture than in the art to be presented therein, you still might want to check out this event.

Still, who wouldn’t want to see the

artworks on view in this unconventional setting? Of the ten artists represented, several are local; all are highly respected; and there are some common thematic and stylistic elements in their oeuvres – depictions of flora and fauna, the use of found natural materials or ambient light – that ought to pull this exhibition together nicely within its context of a conserved, undeveloped riverfront property. Andrew Cannon, Tasha Depp, Lauren Drescher, Kico Govantes, Valerie Hammond, Jared Handelsman, Laleh Khorramian, Portia Munson, Kiki Smith and Emma Thomas will all be participating. (You might want

to schedule your visit to coincide with the opening of Smith’s one-woman show at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. that same Saturday).

The opening reception for “58 Snake” is a benefit for the Greene County Council on the Arts (GCCA). Admission costs $25 for the general public, $20 for current GCCA members. Reservations may be made at www.greenearts.org or by calling (518) 943-3400, and tickets will also be available at the door. “58 Snake Road” will reopen on Sunday, August 13 and the following Saturday and Sunday,

August 19 and 20, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Subsequent to the opening event, admission to the exhibit will be a $10 suggested donation. The exhibition venue is located at 58 Snake Road in Catskill.

“Radius 50” exhibit in Woodstock opens Saturday The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM) will host an opening reception for “Radius 50” on Saturday, August 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. The exhibit will remain on view through August 27. Admission is free.

The show’s title refers to the 50-mile region around Woodstock from which the 29 participating artists hail.

The group show, juried by David A. Ross, is intended to draw attention to the rich and diverse pool of artistry in the mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills.” That diversity is one of the greatest strengths of the region, says Ross, with artists here able to “provide art experiences that can appeal to a very wide and sustainable audience bridging generations, demographics and different of points of view, sophistication and taste.”

Ross is a former director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and is currently chair of the MFA Art Practice department at New York City’s School of Visual Arts. He brings a perspective to the jurying process combining experience of what it means to live in our region with an in-depth knowledge of art on a global scale and a passionate point of view on the role of art in our time.

“Radius 50” includes drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, performance art, photography, word art and video.

The participating artists are Stephanie Anderson, Sydney Cash, Anna Leigh Clem, Melissa Dadourian, Avery Danziger, Ken Dreyfack, Eric Erickson, Eric Forstmann, Marcy Freedman, Bo Gehring, Dan Goldman, Rodney Alan Greenblat, Laura Gurton, Alon Koppel, Norm Magnusson, Dan McCormack, Susan Meyer, Lowell Miller, Elizabeth Panzer, Rob Penner, Julie Sitney, Greg Slick, Kat Stoutenborough, Ken Tannenbaum, Sara Vogwill, Susan Walsh, Eleanor White, Karen Whitman and Jeffrey Wiener.

A panel discussion with David A. Ross, “Who Speaks for Whom: The Issue of Voice in the Visual Arts,” will be held in the galleries on Saturday, August 19 at 2 p.m. The following day, Sunday, August 20, WAAM will present a concert of experimental contemporary music, “Hudson River Hurricane Data becomes Music,” at 2 p.m.

In addition, there will be a silent auction of works by ten top artists from the mid-Hudson/Catskills region running contemporaneously with the “Radius 50” exhibition. Gallery hours at WAAM are Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.; closed Monday and Tuesday.

Call for postcard artists from Thomas Cole Site The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is inviting artists of all ages to submit new and original five-by-seven-inch works of art capturing the power of nature for the sixth annual postcards open call exhibition titled “Picturing the Sublime.”

Cole, Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford, Jasper Cropsey and others created landscapes depicting the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains that often emphasized the qualities of nature that they considered to be “sublime.”

For these painters, the sublime was a deep feeling of awe and sometimes even fear, experienced through their personal relationship with nature. Many of these same landscapes remain remarkably unchanged today.

The exhibition celebrates the lasting impact of Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School. Whether it is a modern urban setting or untouched wilderness, organizers of the exhibition are specifically interested in the artist’s own relationship with the landscape of today. All interpretations are welcome.

The exhibition will be presented at Thomas Cole’s 1815 Main House on Sunday, September 24: the same day as the annual Community Day celebration, offering free admission throughout the historic site. There is no submission fee, and all entries that follow the guidelines

and arrive by September 5 will be included in the exhibition. Guidelines, entry forms and complimentary canvases are available at the Thomas Cole Site’s visitor center.

More information is available at www. thomascole.org/call-to-artists.

Natasha Fraser discusses After Andy in Rhinebeck

Oblong Books in Rhinebeck will host an author reading on Tuesday, August 8 at 6 p.m. with fashion writer and editor Natasha Fraser. In her recently published After Andy (Blue Rider Press, 2017), Fraser recounts her experience working in “Warhol Land” and explores his influence – during his life and after – on the art world, pop culture, society and fashion, and how his iconic status gave rise to influential tastemakers today. Admission to the reading is free, but an RSVP is requested.

Born and raised in 1960s London, the daughter of a famous politician father and equally famous author mother, Fraser was one of many children and adolescents who looked toward America for the explosion

of art, music and entertainment that was shaping the new culture. A precocious, rambunctious adolescent, Fraser grew from a punk-rock-loving convent schoolgirl to party-girl socialite to becoming linked in the tabloids to Mick Jagger. In her quest to find a place for herself in the world, Fraser found herself meeting Andy Warhol on and off over the years before landing in New York City at Andy Warhol Enterprises, or as she calls it, “Adventures in Warhol Land.”

In her breezy, witty, self-deprecating prose, Fraser takes the reader deep into the pop artist’s world and the stratosphere of the socialites, movie stars, royal figures and downtown New York City artists who could be found in Andy’s orbit.

From the behind-the-scenes conflict and disagreements over his personal possessions and art inventory to the record-breaking auction of his belongings and publication of his diaries, Fraser had a front seat for much of the goings-on.

She explores the immediate aftermath of Warhol’s death and his ever-growing influence, his effect on rock music, fashion and other artists, and interviews dozens of the people who knew him well.

Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni writes for the International New York Times, Time’s Style & Design and Vogue. She was the European editor for Harper’s Bazaar from 1999 to 2004, after serving as a staff member and journalist at Women’s Wear Daily and W magazine. She lives in Paris with her husband and two daughters.

August 3, 2017 the name “Robert Shirtliff ” before being wounded, discovered and finally honorably discharged at West Point.

Life on the farm was a constant struggle

“They were equal on the land, they had respect; but when women went away to the factory and the office, the dynamic of economic and social devaluation began.” that presented more than enough challenges for men and women. It was hard, depressing work. With the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, women suddenly had the opportunity to quit conditions like those described in “The Housewife’s Lament”: There are worms on the cherries and slugs on the roses And ants in the sugar and mice in the pies The rubbish of spiders no mortal supposes And ravaging roaches and damaging flies.

Many a woman fled her homestead to light out for the cotton mills and factories of places like Lowell, Massachusetts. There they found newly built, well-advertised dormitories where they could collapse after working 17-hour shifts in the mills, inspiring songs like “Factory Girl.”

American women in song Learn herstory at Linda Russell’s performance on Saturday in New Paltz

H

istorical balladeer Linda Russell laughs a lot when talking about the music she plays. It’s a deep, throaty laugh that tells you this is someone who knows what she’s talking about – someone with an intimate understanding of the history out of which that music was born.

Singing the songs of bygone days and putting them in their historical context is something that Russell has been doing for most of her performing career. That career has taken her to the stages of Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall and the shores of Lake Wobegon at performances on A Prairie Home Companion. For the past 16 years, she has performed as balladeer for

the National Park Service at the Federal Hall National Memorial in New York City. And on Saturday, August 5, at 1:30 p.m., she’ll be doing the same at Historic Huguenot Street.

Relying on broadsides, laments, murder ballads, love songs, parlor melodies and suffrage anthems, Russell promises to take her audience on a musical stroll through the lives of women in an emerging America during the 18th and 19th centuries. Along the way, she’ll correct some enduring myths and provide new perspectives and little-known facts about what life was like for women on the frontier, as well as on the more populated coast.

How about the idea that female “camp followers” during wartime are prostitutes?

Russell dismisses that myth with a hoot and a simple economic fact: “Soldiers didn’t have any money!” Most camp followers, she said, were “women who followed their husbands’ armies because they were terrified of being left alone on their farms.”

Some of these women joined their husbands and brothers, most famously Molly Pitcher, who brought pitchers of water to soldiers and who historians believe was a composite character of other women who served during the Revolutionary War. Other women, Russell said, pursued an even more active role by disguising themselves as men. Deborah Sampson of Massachusetts served 17 months in the Continental Army under

“They were equal on the land, they had respect; but when women went away to the factory and the office, the dynamic of economic and social devaluation began,” Russell said. It’s a dynamic that’s still very much alive, as women continue to demand equal pay for equal work.

Women didn’t get the vote nationally until 1920, but out West, it was a different story, Russell said. Wild and wooly Wyoming was still a territory when it granted women the right to vote in 1869.

Colorado had become a state when it granted women the right in 1893.

Russell said that she’ll be bookending her presentation with quotations not of songs, but of letters exchanged by John and Abigail Adams: letters that sing of a love that endured long periods of absence, political jockeying and the everyday rigors of life in the 18th century.

FULL MOON PICNIC & DRUM GATHERING IN POUGHQUAG ON FRIDAY TO HELP HORSES

A

steadily growing drum circle, “Drumming with Hawklyn,” takes place each month in Poughkeepsie, usually on second Fridays at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. This Friday, August 4, however, an all-out summer gathering will happen at Lady’s Legacy in bucolic Poughquag, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. All ages are welcome, and no group drumming experience is necessary to join the 50 to 100 drummers.

This special gathering is a fundraiser for Lady’s Legacy Equine Rescue, Inc., founded in 2013 by Kaitlin and Lydia Balioni.

Participants coming to Friday night’s session should bring a chair, a dish to share and water to keep hydrated – drumming can be hard work! You can bring your own drums and percussion instruments or borrow a drum at the gathering. “We are a diverse group of individuals that have something in common: Drumming!

We will dance, drum, rattle and sing under the moon! We throw in a twist of self-exploration and have a great time,” says Hawklyn.

All proceeds will benefit the horses at Lady’s Legacy. More information about the non-profit organization can be found at www.ladyslegacy.org.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park will present an author talk and booksigning with Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Will Englund on Thursday, August 10 at 7 p.m. The discussion at the Henry A. Wallace Center will center on Englund’s recently published March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution, a highly detailed account of the month that transformed the world’s greatest nations. Englund draws upon contemporary Russian and American diaries, memoirs, oral histories and newspaper accounts to tell the story of that year’s warriors, pacifists, activists and revolutionaries, demonstrating how their successes and failures constitute the origin story of our complex modern world.

“We are provincials no longer,” declared Woodrow Wilson on March 5, 1917 at his second inauguration. He spoke on the eve of America’s entrance into World War I, just as Russia teetered between autocracy and democracy. In the face of chaos and turmoil in Europe, Wilson was determined to move America away from the isolationism that had defined the nation’s foreign policy since its inception and to embrace an active role in shaping world affairs. Just ten days later, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the Russian throne, ending a three-centuries-long dynasty and plunging his country into a new era of uncertainty, ultimately paving the way for the creation of a Soviet empire.

Within a few short weeks, at Wilson’s urging, Congress voted to declare war on Germany, asserting the US’s new role as

a global power and its commitment to spreading American ideals abroad. Yet at home it remained a Jim Crow nation, and African Americans had their own struggle to pursue. American women were agitating for the vote and a greater role in society, and labor strife was rampant. As a consequence of the war that followed, the US and Russia were to endure a century of wariness and hostility that flicker and flare to this day.

The program is part of “World War I and America,” a two-year national initiative of the Library of America, presented in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the National World War I Museum and Memorial and other organizations, with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Copies of Englund’s book will be available for sale after the talk. Admission is free, but preregistration is required at www. fdrlibrary.org.

March 1917 talk/book-signing with Will Englund, Thursday, August 10, 7 p.m., free, Henry A. Wallace Center, FDR Library and Museum, 4097 Albany Post Road, Hyde Park; (845) 486-7745, www.fdrlibrary.org.

August 3, 2017 Park South (Waryas Park Promenade, Poughkeepsie). This free annual event is open to all ages, and your crew may be fascinated with which slipperies and wigglies get drawn up in the seine nets! What an exciting way to get a glimpse of “under the sea/estuary.�

And that’s not all: Scenic Hudson presents that evening’s Under the Walkway movie, Hidden Figures! To me, this movie is one more example demonstrating that women were involved and active throughout US history; we just

don’t appear in the history books. You could make an entire day of it: exploring nature, hiking around Hyde Park Trails (www.hydeparkny.us/recreation/trails) and a free movie. Don’t you just love living here?

NIGHT SKY

Abhor a vacuum You have less than two minutes to survive in outer space

A

21

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 3, 2017

t the end of some scifi movies, the bad guy is pushed out the spaceship’s airlock. You know what happens: He explodes.

But such scenes do not match the realities of outer space. In the 1960s, NASA built a bunch of altitude chambers to mimic the hostile environment of low air pressure.

Volunteers experienced the conditions found at various altitudes, and a few animal tests (thankfully not very many) were conducted with even-lower pressures.

The results let scientists learn how bodies would respond to sudden depressurization – and these proved correct in later accidents. In 1965, a technician testing a new spacesuit in an altitude chamber was exposed to a near-total vacuum when a faulty valve popped and all the air immediately rushed out. In exactly 14 seconds the man lost consciousness and collapsed.

Happily, he was being monitored; air was promptly reintroduced and he regained consciousness without any apparent harm.

A few years later another technician was trapped in a faulty altitude chamber.

He too lost consciousness in about 15 seconds, and started turning blue. His life was saved when a manager kicked in one of the machine’s gauges, breaking the seal and letting air rush in.

When an animal or human body is suddenly exposed to the vacuum of space, a number of injuries begin

immediately. At first they are minor, but they quickly add up to become lifethreatening. The first and most visible is the instant expansion of gases in the lungs and digestive tract. A 1965 study at the Brooks Air Force Base in Texas proved that dogs exposed to a near-total vacuum always survived if they were “rescued” (meaning the pressure was restored) within one-and-ahalf minutes.

H o w e v e r , they became unconscious a l m o s t immediately, with gas expelled from their bowels and stomachs, causing simultaneous defecation, projectile vomiting and urination. It all looked worse than it was: They had seizures, their tongues were coated in ice and the animals swelled up like balloons. Yet even partial repressurization made the dogs shrink back down and begin to breathe.

When full pressure was restored, they were walking after 10 to 15 minutes, and an odd blindness that had befallen them wore off after a few more minutes.

But dogs kept in a vacuum just slightly longer – for two full minutes or more – usually died. Oddly, chimpanzees withstood longer periods in a vacuum.

They lived after up to 3.5 minutes in outer-space conditions without any later impairment in their functioning.

Human accidents showed similar effects. That technician with the faulty spacesuit later said that his last memory before blacking out was of moisture on his tongue boiling. Indeed, we know that water instantly boils in space, even at

room temperature. At any height above 63,000 feet – called the Armstrong Line (no relation to Neil, but named after Harry Armstrong, who founded the US Air Force’s Department of Space Medicine in 1947) – water boils below body temperature. Eye and tongue moisture boil away, and no amount of supplied breathing air pressure will keep a person conscious. But blood won’t boil because it’s sealed under pressure within arteries and veins.

Still, nitrogen gas bubbles quickly form in the blood – and these start accumulating until they stop the heart, in two to three minutes. At the same time, the absence of pressure outside the skin pulls it outward, creating a partial vacuum around muscles and organs so that water there speedily evaporates into vapor, contributing to the swelling of the victim.

An astronaut finding herself in sudden decompression should first exhale; otherwise the lungs will probably rupture and inject air bubbles into the circulatory system. This life-saving out-breath will be followed by 10 to 15 seconds of useful consciousness. This is the only time available to her to save her own life.

Of course space has other perils, too, like the angry red sunburn one would get in just two minutes of direct

skin exposure to solar radiation – including the fearsome UV-C that we never receive here on the surface. But the sci-fi scenario of the unprotected astronaut freezing solid would not happen – at least not for a long while – because body heat cannot easily go anywhere in a vacuum. Space acts like a Thermos container. It preserves body heat, so staying warm is not on the astronaut’s immediate “to do” list. Only the cooling induced by the sudden water evaporation from mouth, nose and eyes would be noticeable, creating an instant coating of ice in these areas.

Bottom line: If this ever happens to you, breathe out, use your 10 to 15 seconds wisely and quickly and know that, if your friends bring you in within 90 seconds, even though you’ll be unconscious, you should live to tell about it. There: not so bad.

Enroll Now! Youth Ensemble Theater Fall Program. Youth Ensemble Theater (YET) has added an added Teen Theater Ensemble. A pre-professional theater institute for 10 through 18 year olds, and engages young people in a dynamic ensemble process to create and perform contemporary cutting edge theater. YET was founded and is directed by Amy Poux, a former professional actress and director, Poux is the current Director of Education at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and a Rosendale resident of 15 years.

Each play is as different and unique as its members.

YET enrollment is now open through the end of August and programs begin the week of September 14th. Each group is small – so spaces fill quickly.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Golden hoard Jewelweed is richly abundant this summer

O

rganizations annually tout their “Plant of the Year.” There’s the Perennial Plant Association’s 2017 Plant of the Year, butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa); Proven Winners’ 2017 Landscape Plant of the Year is Yuki Cherry Blossom deutzia; the American Conifer Society Collectors’ Conifer of the Year is Primo Eastern arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘IslPrim’); Assembly magazine’s 2016 Plant of the Year is Bosch Rexroth…whoops, the last is an assembly plant (hydraulic motors and pumps).

Anyway, you get the picture.

How about a new category: the Weed of the Year? Here on my farmden, I nominate and elect jewelweed (Impatiens capensis). This weed is all over the place this year, even far from where it’s been in the past. For this weed, being all over the place is its only flaw.

On the positive side, jewelweed is a pretty plant with very succulent stems sporting orange, sometimes yellow flowers. It’s also been called touch-me-not for the way its seed capsules burst open with the slightest touch to project their seeds many feet: a useful characteristic for helping a weed spread, although it doesn’t explain jewelweed’s spreading here in one season over 100 feet and to the other side of my house. Its close relative, the widely planted annual flower impatiens, does the same thing without becoming weedy; both plants also enjoy and flower in either sun or deep shade.

Jewelweed often grows as a neighbor to poison ivy, which, perhaps by some odd reasoning (to me), gave it a reputation for use as a treatment for poison ivy.

My friend Bob – usually a clear thinker and very susceptible to poison ivy –

decided to treat his rash one year with jewelweed. He reported success, as an afterthought mentioning that he applied it in conjunction with cortisone. (I’ll expect a lot of feedback: testimonials for jewelweed.)

Jewelweed’s main asset is how easy it is to remove. Even large stalks lift easily out of the ground, roots intact, with minimal soil disturbance. A machete or scythe slices easily through the stalks without the slightest resistance to decapitate the plants.

Each year in the garden is different.

Jewelweed’s plans for next year won’t be evident until next June.

Slicing through a stand of jewelweed with my scythe in the deep shade along the seasonal small stream (a ditch) in front of my property, I was taken aback by a three-foot-high spike of fire-engine-red flowers. More scything, and then another spike appeared. I thought back to spring, and remembered planting cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) along the stream/ ditch this past spring.

Cardinal flower never ceases to take my breath away. Deep shade is not usually home to lots of showy flowers, and especially not flowers in traffic-stopping colors. Only a few times in my life have I come upon cardinal flowers in the wild, and (you guessed it) each time they took my breath away. Each time they were also in deep shade alongside water. Hence my choice of site for last spring’s planting.

Cardinal flowers are easily grown from seed, and no need to have a lot of them for bold effect. The plant to grow is the species, not one of the “improved” varieties. Many varieties have been bred or

Spirituality

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x).

Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
