Taylor Mali

Slam poetry champ Taylor Mali to perform at Helsinki Hudson this Sunday If you’re a teacher, a friend of teachers or someone who appreciates the role of teachers in society, chances are good that you’ve heard spoken-word artist Taylor Mali perform his justly famous poem, “What Teachers Make” (www.ted.com/talks/taylor_mali_ what_teachers_make). It’s a modern classic in three minutes, and Mali – a

former teacher himself, though he’s now described in his official mini-bio as “one of the few people in the world to have no job other than that of poet” – expanded it in 2012 into a bestselling book, What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World. A superstar of the contemporary spoken-word movement, Mali used to

Plus, he’s as funny as any standup comedian, and he’s not afraid to aim his wit directly at himself.” Rogovoy is bringing Taylor Mali to

Bruce Pileggi’s recent work

A

show of Recent Work by artist Bruce Pileggi will be exhibited beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday November 12 and running until December 10 at Unison Arts, 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz. The artist says, “I’ve always felt that art and the making of art are part of a conversation the artist has with himself and the world. In this way the artist offers to the world his ideas, his thoughts and his feelings, creating a dialogue, a give and take, a comparing of notes. But to what end? “Back when I was a student I read a book by Gregory Bateson: Steps to an Ecology of Mind, in it he states that ‘art is to keep life from being too purposive.’ This makes sense to me: art as process and not product. Therefore, rather than trying to arrive at some point of accomplishment, some achievement, some conclusion, I just want to enjoy the journey of creating… wherever it may lead me.” For more information, call 845-255-1559.

Coffee, revolution, and love in Stone Ridge

C

arthaigh Coffee, the newest-kid-on-the-block café offering an excellent cup, is owned and operated by an idealistic young man who ultimately wants to contribute his energy to creating a tighter community in Marbletown. This distinction comes to light when we sit down to talk in his smallish lounge on Main Street, a place he envisions as a salon for robust, caffeine-fueled discussion amongst the town folk. Indeed, his instant response when I first asked him just what he was up to, opening shop in quasi-sleepy Stone Ridge, was: “Revolution.” Andrew McCarthy had a longtime dream to own a cafe, and his previous work in coffee bars in Brooklyn and as manager of the Student Co-op at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, honed his skills as a barista, educator, manager, and technician. Having to get through the various requirements and permits and building renovations was, however, new ground for him. His soft opening last spring was stalled for awhile, but that simply presented the opportunity to take his mobile espresso and brew bar out to events and pop-up locations. McCarthy now brings his experience in catering, consulting, and barista training to Carthaigh Coffee where customers can expect perfect espresso drinks, pour-over and French press coffees, other made-toorder beverages, and tasty treats. With indoor and outdoor seating and a comfy couch to occupy while imbibing, he has set the stage for communal enjoyment. He writes, “Sharing the nuance of my craft is always the most rewarding aspect of my work. Having been behind the bar of hundreds of coffee shops, I know all too well that no two are the same, and each requires its own focused care and preparation to really bring the coffee (and entire experience) to life.” So, what was that about revolution again? “There is sort of a hypocrisy in what I’m doing,” says McCarthy, “because I consider myself an anti-capitalist. I want us as a

group, as a community, as a society to embrace a more revolutionary vision of how we want to take care of each other. So operating a traditional business in a for-profit legal structure is complicated. I’m not advocating growth for the sake of growth. I opened this shop at the request of a number of people. I was a coffee nerd in Brooklyn and people said, ‘Dude, you’ve gotta open up your own place.’ I didn’t do it [to] start my own little coffee empire. “All of the issues I had in my previous workplaces were from an imbalance of power in the hierarchy of capitalist/ laborer, owner/worker class. As of right now, this is a one-man operation. My projection for growth is going to be a collective model. I envision someone who sympathizes with my vision coming in and joining forces with me as a co-owner, cocollaborator.” He admits that he doesn’t know exactly what that might look like — a café/zine library, opening the doors for group meetings, performances, and book clubs — whatever is needed and wanted. He reads and researches and looks at other cooperative projects in the region for inspiration. And his life — admittedly one of privilege, ability, and opportunity — is also tied to a local farm that belongs to his parents, a project he intends to develop with permaculture methods, again cocooperating with whoever chooses to join forces with him.

5 p.m. at the Marbletown Community Center. Offered in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of women’s right to vote in New York State, the discussion will feature Native American Scholar Evan Pritchard, the Director of the Center for Algonquin Culture in Rosendale and author of No Word for Time, Native New Yorkers, and Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York. In his power-point lecture, Evan Pritchard will discuss the lives and lifestyles of several Algonquin women of influence in New York and New England during the 1600s. He will focus on leading (but now forgotten) “Sunkskwas” — women who became sachems, or leaders, many through the death of their husbands. The program is free and open to the public. A reception and book signing will follow the talk. Visit stoneridgelibrary.org for more information. The Marbletown Community Center is located at 3564 Main Street in Stone Ridge.

Between college in Oregon and cappuccinos in New York City, McCarthy completed a Permaculture Design Certification under David Holmgren in Victoria, Australia, where he realized his true calling — to live a sustainable life and establish a family homestead with his parents at their home in the hills above Marbletown. “Permaculture is about sustainability, resilience, regenerative agriculture, and independence. The model engenders anarchy because it reduces the need for people to rely on systems of power and hierarchies and capitalists. A lot of

Deadgrass at the Falcon The chameleonic music of the Grateful Dead can be understood variously as psychedelic roots and folk music (emphasized on such studio classics as Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty) and as psychedelic progressive rock, a strand of their story that began on the early Anthem of the Sun and that reached its pinnacle on the late Terrapin Station. Which side do think Deadgrass celebrates? Led by Multi-instrumentalist Matt Turk and Grammy award winner C Lanzbom, the five-piece acoustic ensemble Deadgrass interprets the music of Jerry Garcia at the Falcon Underground in Marlboro on Friday, November 10 at 8 p.m. As is the custom at the Falcon, there is no cover charge, but generous donation is strongly encouraged.

permaculturists are not overtly political, but they are in their actions. Changing the way we get our food is one of the most subversive things you can do. I want to make sure we’re connected in doing that. Too many people start their permaculture community and disengage from the world. “What I want is to do that and empower each other. As much as the café is about coffee, from a transactional perspective I’m hoping to engender a meeting space for people to renegotiate our social contracts, figure out what it is — like Rousseau and the people who wrote fundamental philosophy, they did it in public spaces, they did it in discourse. And they did it with the help of caffeine.” We laugh at him having made that connection, but then he goes on to acknowledge that the coffee industry is based in colonialism and imperialism, which is a conversation he wants to bring to the forefront. “Focusing on higher quality and understanding why [product] origin is important is interrelated with that mindset about community. How do we, as relatively insulated and privileged people, dismantle that for ourselves and empower others to dismantle it for

themselves?” In Gaelic, carthaigh indicates “the loving one.” “The name embraces my heritage and establishes my legacy,” he explains, noting that the surname McCarthy means “son of Cárthach.” “The stag profile logo is an adaptation of my family’s coat of arms, incorporating the meaning of the name, as well as honoring its symbolism of peace, harmony, strength, and fortitude.” All appropriately idealistic attributes to cultivate in business and in life. — Ann Hutton Carthaigh Coffee’s winter hours are Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Monday and Tuesday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday closed; Thursday, Friday, Saturday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 3669 Main Street, Stone Ridge; 201 621 3813, andrew@carthaighcoffee. com, https://www. facebook.com/ carthaighcoffee

Rhinebeck Chamber Music Society celebrates Teresa Carreño Rhinebeck Chamber Music Society will present ¡Eviva Teresa: Discovering child prodigy, pianist, singer, composer & conductor Teresa Carreño (1853-1917), at 3 p.m. Sunday, November 12 at The Church of the Messiah, 6436 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck. Carreño was a child prodigy, pianist, singer, composer, and conductor, born in Caracas, Venezuela on December 22, 1853 and died, by then an American citizen, on June 12, 1917 in New York City. Teresa’s parents gave up their life in Venezuela in order to give their young daughter a first-class music education by moving to the United States and then to Europe. Their sacrifice paid off. Teresa started concertizing at the very early age of 8 and was the breadwinner of the family for many years. She said, “Music is the very essence of living. Making music is as easy as picking flowers and as rewarding. You can do it as well as I if you try hard enough.” The program, moderated by pianist Babette Hierholzer and performed by the Ulysses Quartet, Eva Maria Summerer, mezzo soprano, and Ulrich Roman Murtfeld, piano, will include works by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Giacomo

Tangent’s NEWvember readings in Tivoli In its clinging commitment to a commercially prodigious past and in its suspicion of new work, professional theater is only an iota less conservative than professional orchestral music. When the box office is the highest office, new production is curtailed and admitted to the repertoire cautiously at best. The bright side is that these conditions give rise to undertakings like the Tangent Theater Company, a group of regional and city professionals whose NEWvember new play series is one of many such incubators of new work and emerging writers. This year’s NEWvember — the seventh — takes place between Thursday, November 9 and Sunday, November 12 at the Carpenter Shop Theater in Tivoli. Subtitled NEW17, the festival features readings of five new plays by a large ensemble of actors and directors. The playwrights are on hand as well, for postshow Q&A sessions. This year’s writers are all veterans of previous NEWvember readings and Tangent productions. In David Riedy’s “Tuition” (Thursday, November 9 at 8 p.m.), a college student

can be construed as a sequel to Hal Ashby’s bittersweet 1973 movie The Last Detail. Both films were based on novels by Darryl Ponicsan, respectively chronicling incidents involving three Vietnam-era sailors on a spree and the sad circumstances that reunite them 30 years later. Last Flag Flying changes the names slightly, makes two of them Marines and alters the reasons why they had to escort their younger charge to the brig back during the war. But they’re essentially the same characters, with Cranston standing in for Jack Nicholson, Laurence Fishburne for Otis Young and Steve Carell for Randy Quaid. At the outset of the circa-2002 story, Cranston’s character, Sal, is running (and living in) a bar, and hasn’t changed a bit since he was‌Jack Nicholson, basically. In fact, if you take Sal as the main character, this movie could be subtitled Endless Boyhood. He’s a foul-mouthed, misanthropic, utterly unfiltered alcoholic with a sneering quip for every occasion and a compulsion to spare no one the truth, however ugly. When meek, mousy Doc (Carell), the sailor who once took the fall for something not-so-noble that they did together while on extended tours of duty in Nam, shows up at his gin joint, Sal doesn’t even recognize him at first. Doc reconnects Sal with the third of their former trio, Mueller (Fishburne), who has become a preacher and no longer wishes to be reminded of his raunchy younger days, before explaining to both of them why he’s there: Recently widowed, Doc has just lost his son in Iraq and needs company to claim his body and attend his funeral, with honors, at Arlington National Cemetery. At the airbase, at Sal’s prodding, Doc finds out from his son’s comrade (J. Quinton Johnson) that the young man did not exactly die under the heroic circumstances that had been officially proclaimed. Enraged and grief-stricken, the normally repressed Doc determines to snatch the corpse, take it home to New Hampshire in a rental truck and bury his son there beside his mother. Last Flag Flying is the story of their bizarre road trip, with Mueller and Sal flanking Doc as his good and bad angels. Along the way north, complications of all sorts arise, and we gradually learn more about the escapade that bonded them three decades earlier. We also get considerable insight into the premise that even guys who totally internalized all the sales pitches

ne year ago, Ulster and Dutchess were added to the list of upstate New York counties providing 40 percent tax exemptions for film projects. Thanks to the change in the tax law, the Hudson Valley is becoming an ever-more-appealing locale for movie shoots, and our towns are scrambling to make production companies welcome. But the history of filmmaking in this neck of the woods goes back a long way. If visiting locations where a movie or TV show was shot is your idea of a fun way to spend a day, you might want to add the Hudson River hamlet of Milton to your exploration bucket list. Named for the English poet John Milton and founded in 1712 by William Bond, a sea captain given a patent by Queen Anne to supply timber for masts to the British Navy, it’s part of the Town of Marlborough in the southeast corner of Ulster County. IN 1960, Milton’s tiny “downtown” was chosen by Sidney Lumet to represent a sleepy town in the Mississippi Delta: the setting for The Fugitive Kind, his screen version of Tennessee Williams’ play Orpheus Descending. Widely regarded today as the “quintessential New York director,” Lumet, at that early point in his big-screen career, was keen to work with Williams – but to shoot in the American South at the dawn of the Civil Rights era, not so much. In a New Yorker interview not long before Lumet’s death in 2011, he related an account of being ogled in the shower by fellow soldiers from Mississippi during his military service in World War II; they were convinced that Jews were supposed to have tails. Other versions of the story simply postulate that Lumet wanted to work within reasonable commuting distance of his Manhattan base of operations. Whatever his true motivation, the direction decided that Milton’s quaint Main Street, with its general store and not even a traffic light to betray any pretense of modernity, could pass for some backwater burg in the Deep South. Some temporary modifications were made for the film sets, but if you watch the movie and then prowl downtown Milton, you can figure out where some of the exterior shots were set up. The Fugitive Kind was not a rip-roaring success in the cinemas, despite the massive popularity of Tennessee Williams vehicles in the early ’60s. Some critics thought that Lumet, with his New York sensibilities, just didn’t grok Williams’ Southern Gothic milieu. The director also might have bitten off more than he could chew in hiring the two stars the playwright had in mind when writing the

about what it means to be a Marine, and take great pride in identifying as such, can simultaneously have nothing but scathing things to say about the pointless wars to which they are assigned and the rationalizations of government officials about why they are necessary. Parallels between Vietnam and Iraq are

unsubtly drawn here. It’s the awful shared experience, the battlefront shorthand that only veterans understand, that matters in the long run, this screenplay would have us believe. This viewer, for one, would have liked to see Linklater and Ponicsan poke more than a toe into the politics

lead roles of Val Xavier and Lady Torrance: Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani. While Lumet managed to coax some fine acting out of both of them, there was reportedly nonstop hostility on-set. The older Italian actress had apparently set her cap to seduce the young American icon, and her co-star wasn’t having any of it. It is said that Brando only accepted the gig because he badly needed the money after a costly divorce, demanding and getting a cool million – the first time any Hollywood actor had been paid that much for a single movie. He also insisted on top billing, despite it becoming increasingly clear that Lady was the story’s strongest character (naturally, this being based on a Tennessee Williams play). Her pride wounded, Magnani refused to rehearse, insisted on only being shot from her “good” angle and threw tantrums on location. And Brando deliberately mumbled his lines in order to make the non-Englishfluent actress miss her cues. The temperatures in Milton, New York might not have approximated Delta sultriness, but it seems likely that steam was coming out of the ears of more than one person on that job, if only from exasperation. Luckily for movie audiences, Sidney Lumet didn’t throw in the towel then and there, but went on to make quite a few films that qualify as modern classics (FailSafe, Network, Running on Empty, Serpico, Murder on the Orient Express and Dog Day Afternoon). Meanwhile, a bit of hoary Hollywood gossip should provide the fuel for an entertaining ramble around a charming little corner of the Hudson Valley. — Frances Marion Platt

of endless war and how the US military as a perennially resupplied, reassigned institution is packaged for unquestioning public consumption. But the three core performances in Last Flag Flying are all compelling and worth a watch, and there’s enough dark, wacky humor to leaven the mostly downbeat storyline.

Cranston dominates and is by far the most entertaining up front; Carell’s lowkey portrayal of a mild-mannered man who waits far too long to rebel is the one that will crawl under your skin and come back to haunt you afterward. — Frances Marion Platt

ppreciation for the earth’s beauty has inspired countless artistic expressions, created by as many writers and poets, painters, photographers and filmmakers, and composers over the centuries. The Hudson Valley Philharmonic Orchestra now celebrates music inspired by nature’s waterways with three symphonic works to be performed at the Bardavon Opera House on November 18. Director Randall Craig Fleischer will conduct a concert that includes Smetana’s “Vltava (The Moldau),” Debussy’s “La Mer,” and Vaughan Williams’ dramatic “Sinfonia Antarctica,” the latter to be accompanied by the Vassar College Women’s Chorus and Jon Bowermaster’s stunning projected images of Antarctica’s vanishing ice cap. Bowermaster (who has been noted as an “oceans expert, award-winning journalist, author, filmmaker, adventurer, and sixtime grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council Award”) will narrate his imagery during the performance of Sinfonia Antarctica. As founder

of Oceans 8 Films and the non-profit One Ocean Media Foundation, he has written

When Chris Silva at the Bardavon asked if we had any video we wanted to match to Vaughn Williams’ Sinfonia Antarctica, it was pure coincidence. We’ve never edited for and performed with a live orchestra, but it seemed like a good opportunity to share the work with a different audience. Pairing live orchestra with video is a booming part of the market — screening a movie or adding pictures to the event.” Bowermaster’s mission to raise environmental awareness and expose immediate threats to our planet’s future — our future — comes from nearly 30 years of traveling around the world to report

Fleischer’s selection of works for this concert reflects each composer’s strong connection to nature as it occurred for them long before human-created pollution threatened the environment. Smetana wrote Vltava in the 1870s in honor of the river that flows through the Bohemian regions of the Czech Republic. La Mer was composed as “three symphonic sketches” at the beginning of the 1900s. Debussy’s “moody atmosphere” depicts the wind and waves and general ambiance of the sea, minus all human sounds. Williams’ Symphony no.7 (Sinfonia Antarctica) was originally composed for the 1948 film Scott of the Antarctic. Inspired by the heroic age of exploration, the score is filled with great highs and lows. The audience is invited to join Fleischer for a talk one hour prior to the performance.

The Catskill Mountain Foundation presents

Sonny Ochs Song Night on how the changing climate is affecting conditions. His love of the southernmost continent began on his first assignment for National Geographic Magazine in 1989, when he documented a 3,741-mile, 221-day dog-sled expedition there. From the sea-level vantage point of a kayak, he has paddled regions from the Aleutian Islands to French Polynesia, Gabon to Tasmania, and around the 600mile Peninsula of Antarctica. Un i m a g i n a b l y cold and remote, Antarctica can also be a fragile place, Bowermaster maintains. Home to a variety of wildlife along its edges — seabirds, penguins, seals, and whales — its viability through the changes happening due to the warming climate has an as-yet unknown impact on the rest of the planet. Selecting only 41 minutes of imagery from the many hours of film he’s amassed to match Williams’ symphony was a challenge. “When we think of Antarctica, we

think of it as foreboding — at the heart, the South Pole is covered with three miles of ice — but on its edges where the glaciers meet the warming sea, things are definitely changing. The most visited part is the long peninsula that reaches out to South America. That’s where I’ve been most; it’s the most accessible. Every year you see changes — less ice, new islands emerging that you never knew were there, and in a few places you see grass and weeds growing. “It’s because the sea is warming, and those glaciers are being impacted by warming conditions. The biggest concern is rain. With air temperatures in the 30s and 40s, rather than snowing, it rains. Living in the Northeast, we know what rain does to snow. The warmer air and sea temperatures melt the snow and change the climate very fast. It is happening, and not 10, 20, or 50 years from now. It’s happening right now.”

On Saturday, Nov. 18 at 8 pm, the Doctorow Center for the Arts on Rte. 23A in Hunter, NY will open its doors to a special tribute to legendary 60’s folk singer, Paul Ochs, featuring performances of his music by the innovative slide guitarist Pat Wictor together with vocalist Terry Leonino and guitarist Greg Artzner of the musical duo, Magpie. Long after Phil Ochs’ tragic death by suicide in 1976, fervent fans remain true to his music. And fortunately Phil Ochs’ sister, Sonny Ochs, has continued to carry the torch for her brother’s music and messages starting with the creation of the first “Phil Ochs Night” in 1983. And she has been doing it successfully ever since. From Speakeasy in New York City in 1982 to Folk City in 1984 to the Bottom Line in 1986 and, finally, to the Catskill Mountain Foundation in Hunter, NY in 2016 and again this year, Sonny Ochs continues to fulfill her goal of “keeping Phil Ochs’ music out there.” Early performers included Sammy Walker, Tom Intondi, David Massengill, Rod MacDonald, Oscar Brand, The Washington Squares, Suzanne Vega, Melanie, Tom Paxton, Fred Small, Happy Traum, Eric Andersen, Christine Lavin, Frank Christian, Dave Van Ronk and Magpie. In fact, according to Sonny Ochs, Magpie joined the show in 1984 and have been in every Song Night since. Many of Phil Ochs’ songs have been recorded by artists such as John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Ronnie Gilbert, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Pete Seeger.

MUSIC

Pere Ubu comes to BSP

M

y first exposure to the essential American art rock band Pere Ubu was their unforgettable performance in the 1982 concert film Urgh! A Music War. Produced by IRS founder Miles Copeland III, Urgh was a kind of new wave and punk portfolio. The war was not between the bands featured in the film but between the new wave scene circa 1980 and the culture of classic rock. Urgh! proceeds from one hyper, weird, snotty, surreal, and theatrical band to another without the musings of critics or narration of any kind. It was, at the time, a shock-and-awe assault on the lumbering of arena rock. The biggest names in it were arena-bound themselves — The Police, the Go-Gos, Joan Jett, Echo & the Bunnymen — but most of the film’s 122 minutes are dedicated to the edgy, underground, and strange, including several bands — the costumed, faceless Invisible Sex and the demonstratively spazzy Splodgenessabounds—who are known primarily for their appearance in Urgh! A Music War. Amidst all the staged and conceptual weirdness of Urgh!, Pere Ubu stands out as something genuinely weird. Upsetting, even. While Devo demos its famous choreography and Oingo Boingo and XTC hiccup through their skittish numbers, Ubu’s David Thomas commands your…concern. He doesn’t seem quite right. He’s dressed for a business meeting — suit and tie, his clean shaven and pudgy baby face scrubbed raw behind the ears. He gesticulates wildly, the purpose inscrutable. He paces not nervously but neurotically, changing direction in the herky jerk rhythm of heated, non-linear thought. He’s a big man, and he boils inside. There is an agitation, a perturbation, a lot going on. He seems always on the verge of sorting it out explaining what’s up, but all that comes out is his mouth is wispy, high pitched and half mouthed fragments about the songs of birdies. But slowly, you begin to recognize

melody, an original and fine melody. Behind him is an unabashed, experimental, avant-garde band, noise lovers who have always seemed envious of the music of power tools and failing circuits. No band has ever used electronics in quite the same nano-buggy way as Pere Ubu (often with synth whiz Allen Ravenstine chairing that department), but their novel approach to drums, bass, and guitars became a template for what we would eventually call postrock — liberated from the rules of rock engagement and from pop song forms,

but 100% rock and roll (punk, even) in its impulse. Bands that far out on a limb tend to have short careers marked by penury if not tragedy, and to be remembered mostly by the guys quarantined on the other side of the record store counter. How then to explain Pere Ubu, who have not only endured but prevailed? It is David Thomas’s secret heart. The melodies hidden in his quavering warble are inspired and beautiful. The sensibility that emerges through his warped persona is full of humanity, hurt, myth, the modern

condition, and love. Thomas was probably lucky to have hit the scene when he did. In today’s sensitive indie rock climate, his approximation of mental illness would probably be called out. Instead, it is grandfathered in, and we are all the richer for it. He is, much like Tom Waits, a poet, a keeper and a great confuser of American mythologies as well as a legitimate intellectual and a musical futurist. With more than 20 albums to consider, including a rash of them in this decade, Ubu’s highlights are many and varied. The first two records — 1978’s The Modern Dance and Dub Housing — came out of nowhere and continue to define the music of nowhere. 1988’s transitional The Tenement Year is plenty weird but also paves the way for Pere Ubu’s pair of strangely heartfelt, hit-bid pop albums at the turn of the ‘90s, Cloudland and Worlds in Collision. Despite a handful of gorgeous and genuinely moving songs that anyone might like (“Oh Catherine,” “Breath”) those records failed to position Pere Ubu where they deserved to be, which is to say right alongside The Pixies among rock’s great surrealists. That didn’t slow down Thomas much at all. With a rotating membership, Ubu was prolific and increasingly rootsy throughout the ‘90s and into the present. 2017’s 20 Years in a Montana Missile Silo rocks darkly. I had to rub my eyes a few times and grasp at the leg of a table near me when I read that Pere Ubu had been booked to play at BSP. For a moment, nothing seemed real. That is the way this band has always made me feel. Pere Ubu performs at BSP in Kingston on Friday, November 10, at 7:30 p.m. In a nice booking touch, the Young Skulls will open, a new project featuring Pere Ubu’s fellow Ohioan avant-rocker, the local writer and punk musicologist Peter Aaron, whose band Chrome Cranks grew from the same soil as Pere Ubu a decade later. Tickets for this singular show are $25. For more information, visit www. bspkingston.com.

Ozark Henry’s “Map to the Stars” at BSP

A

new name to most Americans, the electro-pop songwriter Ozark Henry has sustained a successful major label European career for just over 20 years, though only in the last decade has the Belgium native tested our shores with a trio of suave and mature pop records. Henry’s career was christened by some effusive praise from David Bowie, an icon known to be always on the lookout for the hip and new. Bowie declared Henry’s debut album a personal favorite, and since then Henry has been conducting pop affairs at a high level. Henry also shares Bowie’s penchant for change and unpredictability, producing some outre experimental electronica as well as a symphonic pop album recorded with the National Orchestra of Belgium.

That record, 2015’s Paramount, is a lovely set of ballads (with Bowie and Bjork covers) as well as an experiment in immersive 3D audio. Henry’s interest in forward-looking

recording audio techniques and tools scored him a TEDx talk and broad recognition as cutting edge technologist. When Ozark Henry takes over the big back room at BSP in Kingston on Saturday, November 11, high-tech will be very much part of the story. During this performance, Ozark will be presenting “Map to the Stars,” an exploration using live 3D audio sound to create an immersive experience for concert-goers. He will incorporate technology developed by Paul Geluso, an engineer, composer, and educator, who is currently on faculty at NYU researching 3D audio technology Ozark Henry performs in the back room at BSP on Saturday, November 11 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the show.

HISTORY Mining her experiences Milton-born Mary Hallock Foote captured life in the Wild West on paper

T

he word “Victorian” used to be synonymous, not so very long ago, with repressiveness and prudery. These days we know that there was a whole lot more going on beneath those hoopskirts than met the eye. And in recent decades, the rise of the Steampunk aesthetic has been providing young girls with spirited role models in the form of Victorian women who traveled the world as journalists or explorers. Some of these can be found in graphic novels like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; others in history books. Among these real-life female adventurers of the late 19th century was Mary Hallock Foote, a woman born to a well-educated Mary Hallock Foote Quaker family in Milton But go West she did, and made the best in 1847 and raised on the shores of of it, raising three children while writing the Hudson River. The Hallock home and illustrating articles and essays for was a hub of culture and intellect and distinguished visitors, including an aunt prestigious Eastern magazines such as who was an abolitionist and suffragist. Century, Atlantic Monthly, Scribner’s Young Mary – known as Molly – Monthly and Harper’s Weekly. At times attended the Female Collegiate Seminary she was the family’s sole breadwinner, in Poughkeepsie, a precursor of Vassar following Arthur from Leadville, Colorado to Deadwood, South Dakota to Boise, College. In 1864 she entered the new Cooper School of Design for Women in Idaho to Morelia, Michoacán in Mexico New York City, and quickly established and eventually to Grass Valley, California a reputation in the publishing business as he sought work with mining and as a fine artist, specializing in drawing irrigation projects.

the frontier, along with her own. In 1893 she was chosen to judge chalk, charcoal, pastel and other drawings for the Chicago World’s Fair Columbia Exposition, and elected the following year to the National Academy of Women Painters and Sculptors. In her day she was acclaimed as the “dean of women illustrators,” while her frontier stories were held in as high esteem as those of her contemporary Bret Harte (who was born in Albany, incidentally). And wherever the Foote family lived, Molly’s homesteads served as salons for the local intelligentsia and political activists, as the one where she grew up in Ulster County had been. After her death in 1938, Mary Hallock Foote’s reputation faded. Then, circa 1970, word got around that historian Rodman Paul was planning to resurrect her hitherto-unpublished memoir, A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West. Inspired by her story, novelist Wallace Stegner sought and gained the Foote descendants’ permission to use her extensive correspondence as material for a new roman à clef, which he promised would not identify its real-life source. Stegner’s novel, Angle of Repose, won high critical praise along with the 1971 Pulitzer Prize. It was later revealed that long

passages of it had been lifted directly from Mary Hallock Foote’s letters and journals. And not all the surviving members of the Foote family were pleased with some of Stegner’s exercises in dramatic license, including having the Molly character’s daughter Agnes – who died from natural causes in real life – perish by drowning while neglected by her mother during an adulterous tryst. Perhaps it’s time that the adventures of this bold, brave, prodigiously talented Hudson Valley native be rediscovered, in her own words and pictures! — Frances Marion Platt

ART Non-representational representation Three outstanding abstract artists

I

f you are not an aficionado of abstract art, three solo exhibitions on display this month at galleries in Shady, Hudson and Poughkeepsie may convert you, especially if you take your time and linger before the work. The three artists have widely divergent styles (one is a sculptor, two painters). Collectively, the work of Donald Elder, Pamela Blum and Stephen Niccolls — all residents of the region — offer a satisfying immersion into a vanguard of imaginative possibilities. These artists are not only deeply committed to their craft, but also consistently tap fresh veins of inspiration. Each work brings a new challenge and a new resolution. Their styles are instantly recognizable without being formulaic.

Elena Zang Gallery, on a terraced garden on Route 212 in Shady, has been representing Donald Elder for 22 years. His current show, which opened October 28, consists of paintings made in the last year and a half. The work is remarkable for its breadth and epic invention. The layered surfaces of Elder’s lyrical nature-inspired paintings revel in the application of paint — slathered on with the palette knife, wiped off, reapplied, and in some cases overlaid by vigorous pencil scribblings reminiscent of Cy Twombly. Some paintings are conceived as gestural fields, others as discrete shapes or color masses fused or overlaid with graphite against a ground. Still others are sublime Turneresque explorations of atmosphere and light or notational still lifes. T hough the y esche w literal representation, Elder’s paintings powerfully evoke the dappled surfaces of ponds, interspersed with flowers; masses of grasses in an autumn mist; pink flowers in a vase, whose snake-like stems, smudges of dark pink and shifting atmospheres conveying an animation that subverts the notion of still life. There are riotous jostlings of saturated hues in a flower garden and the sulfuric glow of stormy skies. The paintings are forces of nature in themselves. Elder, who had his first gallery show when he was just 21, is constantly observing the effects of light and color in the landscape, filing them away in repositories of visual memory. He depicts “close-ups of the landscape,” he said, and paints what nature actually looks like for him: “Nature is abstract. You don’t see the details.” His two-acre garden on the border between Woodstock and Saugerties is a constant source of inspiration for him, as are the reflective surfaces of his ponds. He begins by laying a couple of colors down and working on multiple canvases simultaneously, sometimes putting them aside and picking them up again weeks later. His calligraphic marks, sense of flowing space and spare, concise patterning attest to the strong influence of Asian art. Chance also plays a part: “One mark tells you where to go next,” he said. “You lay in a block of color and it turns into something you didn’t expect. Accidents are the most important thing in a painting. The key is knowing when to keep them.” The Asiatic influence, along with that of Turner, is particularly evident in a painting on paper (none of his works have titles) in which a black scribbled mass on the left just belong the center is balanced by a brown and black mass on the right.

A piece by Donald Elder

Two works by Pamela Blum

Warm silver tones rise like mist or smoke from the two masses. Swirling graphite lines convey movement and a delicate, vigorous texture, along with subtle strokes of white. Large gray areas fill the canvas in a vaguely butterfly shape, bordered by white on either side and penetrated by white at the top. While its elements are spare, tonally limited, an affair of pencil lines, muted paint, and crisp rivulets of black, the painting conveys a monumental feel of a whitened winter sun shining over a field of grasses and seedpods. Elder guides the eye through the painting, always inviting the viewer in, as though the painting were an actual landscape we could bodily navigate. The show also contains smaller works, including 48 six-by-four-inch pieces whose diminutive scale in no way reduces the raw expressive power of the paint. Elder, born and raised in Virginia, moved to New York City in 1969, studying

at Pratt, the Art Students League, and the New York Academy of Art. He spent a year in Paris and studied printmaking in Florence. He has shown his work in galleries throughout Europe and teaches workshops at the Woodstock School of Art and other places. He was a weekend resident in Saugerties until he gave up his Chelsea loft for good and moving full-time to the country in the late 1990s. Pamela Blum, recently retired as head of the art department at SUNY Dutchess, is showing small black-andwhite encaustic and paper wall sculptures in her first solo show at John Davis Gallery in Hudson. Entitled “Like and Unlike,” the show opens this Saturday, November 11. The encaustic-painted pieces, which fit comfortably into one’s hand (visitors are invited to touch the work), are constructed from papier-mâché over an aluminum

wire form painted with multiple layers of white and black encaustic paint, which is then scraped off to reveal the underlying layers. The grotesquelooking forms, whose black-and-white coloration gives them a graphic look suggesting charred bones, embody a conjunction of opposites: the biomorphic with the manmade and inorganic, textual and symbolic with the visceral. The associations are multifarious. A series of rounded pieces with short curved tails resemble a sperm, embryo and comma or quotation mark, while three stiffly bent limb-like forms refer to arches that “are truncated and have nothing to hold up,” noted Blum. The works relate to “ruins of things that never got born.” They also contain a cellular element that has run amok — a reference to cancer, “which runs rampant in my family,” said the artist. The wraith-like paper series are crafted from an underlying wire form covered with

handmade paper painted with beeswax. The pieces look wizened and dried out as well as fragile and animated, seeming to float against the wall. The parchment coloration contributes to the sense of a bodiless, specter-like form akin to tiny mummies, dead leaves, insect or seed husks, and bird skeletons. Blum said her aim is to “compress energy into meaning.” For her, energy refers specifically to vision, words and other modes of language. The works distill “current ideas about history, human behavior, societies, complexity theory, and energy as a kind of gravity opposing entropy,” she writes in her statement; that broad scope includes historical and biological missteps and conjectures. “I see these works as comical, lyrical, abject and satirical references to human foibles, misused tools, misunderstood words, and looming environmental catastrophe,” she writes. Though Blum’s process is rooted in a series of intellectual constructs, there’s nothing dry or theoretical about her work. The odd, misshapen forms embody a life force, as though each had a unique identity which infused it with vulnerability. One wants to cradle one of the wrapped, sheath-like paper pieces or mutant limb in one’s arms, even as one is repulsed. That contradiction puts the viewer in an awkward position. Though the works are constructed of archival materials, Blum notes that they are moving toward dissolution. For now, “my work fights entropy.” So do we all, knowing, in our mortality, that we are similarly doomed. Blum is from Boston. She earned her MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art, studied at MIT, and taught art at the Illinois State University and Rochester

Institute of Technology as well as at Dutchess Community College. She has shown her work in New England, New York State, the Midwest, and France. She lives in Kingston’s Rondout with her husband, Richard Frumess, owner of R&F Handmade Paints Stephen Niccolls, formerly an adjunct professor at Marist College who’s had solo shows at the Woodstock Artists Association, R&F Handmade Paints, and in Beacon, is showing two dozen new paintings at Vassar College’s James W.

was fascinated with the way the gridlike structure of adobe buildings shift and deviates over time. As an adult, he visited and observed ancient stone farmhouses in Italy. Weather, earthquakes and the passage of time have re-formed those domiciles, a process akin to the disruptions the artist effects in the gridlike structures of his paintings. Colored shapes which resemble river stones and mallet heads in their curved, eroded geometry are arranged roughly in rows, a pattern that’s disrupted by extensions and overlaps, creating a jazzy rhythm. Besides alterations in scale, the playing of warm against cool and variations in value are carefully balanced to maintain a surface tension of pulsating energy. The vertically

13 aligned, approximately 35 inches by 44, canvases invite the eye to perambulate. One reveals unexpected slivers of brown or black, an accent of yellow in quarter circles of differing size that speak to each other across the intervals of hopscotching shapes. Another features a pair of rhyming pink and orange rectangles, one with round edges along the bottom as if it were a vessel, the other extending into a gray rectangle striated with gray. Niccolls is an exquisite colorist who creates harmonic relationships of bright hues juxtaposed with quieter earth tones. Whale-like floating shapes in cool blues, purples and greens are enlivened by an underlying pattern of siena, black and white. The artist achieves luminosity by applying the paint in thin layers, which in some cases is scraped off, creating pentimento that vary the texture and suggest the passage of time. There’s a constant interplay between positive and negative shapes, arranged in collage-like disjunctions. In short, Niccolls calibrates the relationship between colors and forms to convey shifts in temperature, space and dimension (paintings-within-paintings suggest a seascape or primitive vessel). The works evoke correspondent moods, from the quietude of dusk to a whimsical, almost cartoony exuberance. Niccolls earned his MFA at the University of Massachusetts. After being a “cartoony illustrative guy,” he was drawn to abstraction not only because of his admiration of well-known abstract artists and favorite teachers but also because of the challenge. “A lot of art that isn’t that good is interesting to people because it has a figure,” he said. “It’s easy to make recognizable images, but marshaling your skills and having the imagination to create something that’s interesting and not figurative is a challenge …. It takes a long time to really see things, to decide if something is great, just okay or sucks.” The show also includes some smaller paintings, which Niccolls said were “as hard to make as a big one. There’s something about the concentration, and you don’t have the expanse to get into the textural.” He is also showing several drawings of ink and acrylic. Niccolls and his wife, Carol Struve (who also has an MFA, has taught art, and currently works as a nurse), lived in Minnesota before moving to the Hudson Valley in 2002, purchasing a house in Kingston in 2006. — Lynn Woods “New Paintings of Donald Elder,” Elena Zang Gallery, through November 19, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, daily, 3671 Route 212, Shady. 679-5432, ezang@hvc.rr.com. “Like and Unlike,” sculpture by Pamela Blum, John Davis Gallery, opening reception November 11, 6 to 8 p.m. through December 3, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday, 362 1/2 Warren Street, Hudson. 518-8285907, art@johndavisgallery.com. “Internal Architecture: Paintings by Stephen Niccolls,” James W.

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY

Why I Do Not Want a Living Funeral “I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.” ~ Mary Oliver

T

ell me what you recall about your wedding. For many of my family and friends, the entire event was a blur. After so much intention and time thoughtfully budgeting, selecting the vows, guests, outfits, menus, music, venue, etc., now, looking back, a significant number tell me they were so distracted that they never even got to taste the food they had worked so hard on choosing, or even recalled who attended, without referencing photos. A perfect day? Yes! A specific memory with each guest? Probably not. So, why do a wedding, or even a party for that matter, at all? To me, it’s because love is bigger than us. We feel excited, filled with love, and we want the world to amplify those powerful positives along with us! Living funerals can put the “fun” in “funerals,” and they remind me of weddings, the assembly of loved ones surrounding the dying person with love and emotion, including greetings, memories, good-byes, well-wishes, and send-offs. A day of special words, people, food, and more to honor the individual before they pass away. If that idea appeals to you, I hope you have one! After more than 40 years of cultivating strengths, reserves, and capacities to create my life and relationships in the outer world, I now yield to subtle detachment of my end-of-life path,

redirecting primary energies to my own physical body and my inner landscape. Like labor at the end of pregnancy, I find myself increasingly primal and inward-focused. In my dying, socializing asks more of me than I can often give. Like love, death is bigger than us. I am discovering that my endof-life journey requires different energy and rhythms from my previous life patterns. I also do not desire your reassurance to “feel better” about my health situation, nor am I in a position to shoulder your grief. It’s my individual relationship with you that I treasure. You and I are still living out our connection. I don’t need, or want, us to attend a special gathering to build on what we have. We’re still crafting “us” right now. “No, thank you. She doesn’t want a living funeral.” Perhaps now my husband can soon take a break from these loving inquiries. I get it. Things can be uncomfortable, like eliminating in the bathroom with someone in the stall right next to mine: I’m right here. I am still in the verb form of end-of-life: I am living, and I am dying, all at the same time. Thank you for being in my life, in all of its weird and wild fullness.

Life is going to throw all kinds of obstacles in your way.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Prepping for the cold

T

onight, October 31st, is slated to be the first hard frost of the season, later than ever. This afternoon, I went down my checklist of things to do in preparation for the cold. Drip irrigation needs to be shut down so that ice doesn’t damage the lines. I opened up the drains at the ends and at the low points of the main lines. I also opened up the valves on all the drip lines so water wouldn’t get trapped anywhere. Some people blow out all the lines with compressed air. The only parts of the drip system that need to be brought indoors are the parts near the spigot: the battery-powered timer, the pressure reducer, and the filter. But I wasn’t yet finished with water. All hoses got drained, with any sprayers or hose wands removed from their ends. Hoses were also removed from frost-free hydrants to let the water drain freely out their valves. (The hydrants are frost free because water drains and enters the hydrant’s pipe four feet below ground, where temperatures, even in winter, remain at a balmy 50° F. or so.) Moving on to plants...Tropical houseplants have all been brought inside, but outside are still subtropicals, including some potted figs, pomegranates, bay laurel, olive, and an angel’s trumpet (Brugsmansia). Subtropical plants can tolerate, even enjoy, temperatures below freezing, even down as low as 10°F. for some of them. My pomegranates, the varieties Kazake and Salavatski, both from western Asia, are reputedly cold-hardy to below 0°F! All these subropicals will enjoy the great outdoors for a few more weeks, barring a drastic change in the weather. Some vegetables still out in the garden can likewise weather cold weather well. Just to make sure, though, I laid “floating row covers” over beds of endive, mustard greens, and lettuce. These diaphanous coverings keep plants beneath them a few degrees warmer while letting light and water filter through. The soil retains enough heat to protect roots of turnip and winter radishes, which are further protected beneath their leafy canopies. Whoops, forgot to pick and eat Sungold tomatoes, which will be done for after tonight. Any red peppers still left on the plants have been harvested; those plants also will be dead tomorrow. I can’t complain; the Sungolds and the peppers bore well and for a longer time than ever before. The final cold prep was to check the greenhouse, making sure window, sidewalls, and doors are closed up tight, and the heater is functional. I’m ready for Ol’ Man Winter. The morning after: The cold has turned out to be not nearly as dramatic as expected. A little before sunrise a cloud cover crept over the sky, tucking in the earth’s warmth rather than letting it radiate out to a clear sky. The low temperascreening and cleaning on Veteran’s Day weekend (Fri 11/10 and Sat 11/11), open to all who have served. Info: 845-790-7990.

ture for the night was 28°F. Even the pepper and tomato plants have toughened up enough by now to tolerate that amount of cold. Not to keep ripening good-tasting fruit, though. Temperatures aren’t predicted to drop near freezing for many days now, but I don’t consider my scurrying around to move or cover plants, and drain water lines, to be wasted effort. Endives and other greens still out in the vegetable garden transpire very little water in this cool weather, and even less so when covered with floating row covers. The only watering needed now will be of the compost pile, easily accessible from one of the frost-free hydrants and a short length of hose, connected as needed. Greenhouse temperatures dropped only to 40°F, the temperature at which I set the thermostat. Cloudy days in there are like today are akin to winter days along the Mediterranean: Very cool and somewhat dreary. On sunny days, I open the greenhouse door to bathe in a tropical paradise of sunlight, heat, and high humidity, with lush plants of lettuce, mustard, arugula, celery, chard, claytonia, and parsley blanketing the ground. Fig trees in the greenhouse are slowly easing their way into dormancy. I’m hurrying them along by lopping them back — except for the few branches still ripening a few fruits. Those figs, ripening in low sun and cooler weather (even in the greenhouse), aren’t as tasty as those of summer and early autumn. I wonder how tasty November figs are in Italy and Greece? – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? Email them to me at garden@leereich.com and I’ll try answering them directly or in this column.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

November 9, 2017

how many bananas we eat, since each gives us more radiation (from potassium-40) than we’d get by living next door to a nuclear power plant for a whole year. So epidemiologists studied large groups of people exposed to small amounts of radiation. For example, they conducted a decade-long medical survey of 70,000 residents living near a radioactive, thorium-contaminated black sand beach in Kerela, India. They got a surprise. The rates of cancer of these people, as well as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Chernobyl survivors were far below the rates predicted by the LNT model. In some cases, the cancer rate was less than the control groups. Their radiation exposure had apparently protected them from cancer!

FOR ADOPTION- SWEET GRAY & WHITE TUXEDO CAT BOY. Alder is a handsome, gentle young adult who was rescued as part of a recent Trap- Neuter- Return project. He’s made it very clear that he’s friendly, not feral, so he will not be released back to the colony. He’s had enough of the mean streets & wants nothing more than to be a part of a good home. Alder is humble, grateful & a big sweetheart. He weighs about 10.4 pounds of pure love, is estimated to be a young adult under 5-years old & has been neutered, rabies vaccinated & tested for FIV/Felv. Won’t you consider this kind kid as a lovely addition to your life? Please call (845)541-9989 or email: nicoleganas@gmail.com Look who’s in the cat room at Saugerties Animal Shelter! All of these wonderful cats are ready to be adopted to loving homes. All adult cats & older kittens have been spayed/ neutered, all cats & kittens are up to date w/shots and are litter pan trained. We have three 10-year old seniors ready to graduate into your heart. TIMOTHY; BIG ORANGE CAT BOY whose guardian gave Timothy to someone who said she would take care of him, But she couldn’t, So now Timothy is looking for the stability of a loving home & needs a home where he can learn to trust again. PEPPER; black & white tuxedo cat

845.331.5080 • begnalmotors.com • 129 Route 28, Kingston girl. Pepper’s human guardian passed away and the family didn’t want her sister (who’s 16-years old) or her. Pepper’s sister was adopted because a nice couple wanted her to spend her last days in a home. However, Pepper’s been in a kennel/cage for months and is so unhappy. She’s gained weight and has lost some of her hair. She needs someone to love her and to make her life whole. TOBY; white w/gray tabby (striped) markings big cat boy. He, too, lost his home when his guardian passed away. His life was spent in a house and now that he’s in a shelter, he’s frightened and confused by the sights and sounds of the shelter. Senior Cats make Great Pets and companions. They will thank you every day! MABEL; laid back all black female cat. We think this sweet girl is about 2-years old. HAPPY is a not so happy 3-year old black female cat. Many cats get depressed and sad being in a shelter, no matter how nice the shelter is and Happy is one of those cats. And there are young kittens and “teenage” kittens, too, who’d be so happy to be in a wonderful forever home. If the time is right for you to adopt, this is a great time to visit the Saugerties Animal Shelter. All need loving homes. You might just meet the newest member of your family! Saugerties Animal Shelter 1765 NY 212. Saugerties, NY 845-679-0339. Want to help but can’t adopt a cat? Don’t forget about our Foster Program!
