GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

What are you saying with flowers? A crash course in ﬂoriography

s you look online or peruse the seed and nursery catalogues that turn up in your mailbox, take note of those flowers that you might need to grow and preserve for the purpose of delivering messages for Valentine’s Day next year. For this year, fresh flowers from a florist will do. The Household Guide, or Practical Helps for Every Home (including Home Remedies for Man and Beast), written by Professor B. G. Jefferis, MD, PhD in 1893 serves as my reference on the language of flowers. “Say it with flowers,” suggests the florist of today. Before presenting flowers, make sure you know what you are saying! Everyone knows that a rose represents an expression of romantic love. But watch out! According to my little book, you had better heed what kind of rose you pull out from behind your back to present to the one you love. In the early stages of a romance, a moss rose (Rosa centifolia mucosa) such as Alfred de Dalmas or Général Kléber in bud might be an appropriate symbolic confession of love. Or you might use any white rose, which says something a little different: “I am worthy of you.” If you feel that your lover glancing astray, a yellow rose will express your jealousy. For the relationship becoming stagnant, Dr. Jefferis prescribes Madame Hardy, York and Lancaster or some other damask rose (Rosa damascena), meaning “beauty ever new.” There is no better way to cement that budding romance than with an outstretched hand clasping a four-leaf clover, the plant that says “Be mine.” Even in summer, you might spend all day on hands and knees looking for a four-leaf clover and still never find one. Much more convenient is to substitute an oxalis leaf. Though not related to clover, oxalis (Oxalis deppei, sometimes called the shamrock plant) leaves are dead ringers for clover leaves – except that all oxalis leaves have four leaflets. And better still, oxalis can be grown as a houseplant, affording you “four-leaf ” clovers for year-round proclamations of affection. Later, if your amorous relationship turns sour, it is time to send (perhaps best not to hand-deliver this message) sweetpea flowers. The message: Depart. Sow sweetpea early in the spring: April first around here, if you are in a rush for this message. And if you’re really in a rush, soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting. Sentiments represented by other flowers may or may not be obvious. Forget-me-not, as expected, means just that. You might have suspected that witch-hazel represents a spell and that dead leaves of any kind represent sadness. But did you know that pansy represents thoughts; red clover, industry; ferns, fascination; goldenrod, caution; tulips, declare your love; dahlia, instability; and orange blossoms, chastity? One can only imagine what “dangerous

pleasures” meant in 1893, but they were represented by the fragrant tuberose. Dr. Jefferis further instructs us that flowers can be combined for greater depth of meaning. For example, a bouquet of mignonettes and colored daisies means “Your qualities surpass your charms of beauty.” Yellow rose, a broken straw and ivy together mean “Your jealousy has broken our friendship.” And a white pink, canary grass and laurel mean that “Your talent and perseverance will win you glory.” One caution when presenting flowers in person: Present them upright, because an upside-down presentation conveys the opposite meaning – unless that is your intent. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Live organists accompanying – or at least introducing – the showing of vintage movies may seem like a bit of quaint hipster nostalgia, but there is simply no denying the power of the old organs. It is a sound that the digital replication arts have yet to conquer, which is ironic considering that vintage organ themes are essentially mechanical additive synthesizers and they should be the easiest thing in the world to sample. On cannot sample ghosts, it turns out. The Bardavon has harnessed the power of its old organ – a rig that wouldn’t fit in many living rooms. Its mini-concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer take place 30 minutes before its screenings of film classics.

DANCE

MATTHEW BOURNE’S HIT BLITZ BALLET CINDERELLA ON SCREEN IN ROSENDALE ON SUNDAY

he Rosendale Theatre will screen Cinderella on Sunday, February 11 at 2 p.m. Choreographed by Matthew Bourne with a score by Sergei Prokofiev, this Russian ballet will be presented through a distinctly English lens. Captured live in December during its sold-out run at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre, it's an evocative love story set in London during World War II. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. The live version of the production is currently touring the UK. The Rosendale Theatre is screening the filmed version ahead of the international release date on February 15. Lez Brotherston’s sumptuous costumes and sets earned an Olivier Award, with lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin and video and projection designed by Duncan McLean. The running time is 115 minutes. Tickets cost $10 for members, $12 for non-members and $6 for children age 12 and under. More information is available by calling (845) 658-8989 or by visiting www.rosendaletheatre.org. Les Muldorf, (Poughkeepsie, NY), Dreds

Fun-a-Day 2018 show this Saturday in High Falls

Fourteen years ago, a group of wacky creative visionaries known as the ArtClash Collective initiated an event known as Fun-a-Day, intended to motivate artists to “keep your creativity going during the darkness of winter, knowing that there’s a whole community of other folks creating at the same time!” The concept soon spread to nine cities, and has been happening in the mid-Hudson for five years now. The premise of Fun-a-Day is something like a New Year’s resolution not to cocoon. Artists voluntarily commit to working on a project each day during the month of January, and to exhibit the results at a regional group show in February. “Choose any subject, medium or theme you want,” reads the pitch to artist participants. “Go as big or small as you choose!” So all January, while the rest of us were huddling in our living rooms watching Netflix, about 25 of our friends and neighbors have been working hard bringing the products of their imaginations to life. The Fun-a-Day 2018 Show will unveil these artworks this Saturday, February 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the back room of the Kitchenette café in High Falls. The exhibition will only stay up until the following day, so make a point of checking it out. The High Falls Kitchenette is located at 1219 Route 213 in the hamlet of High Falls, at the corner of Mohonk Road. To find out more about Fun-a-Day, e-mail sharon@artclash.com or visit www.facebook.com/funadayhv.

The Hudson Area Library will host a six-week reading and discussion group focused on the writing of poet, Civil Rights activist and librarian Audre Lorde (1934-1992). “Silence Will Not Protect You” will be facilitated by Donna Ford-Grover of Bard College’s Literature and American Studies Departments. The series will meet on Mondays beginning March 19 and conclude April 30 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. In preparation for the series, the library will screen a new documentary film by Dagmar Schultz, Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years, 1984 to 1992, on Monday, March 12 at 6 p.m.

Stage and screen actor, comedian and now author Eddie Izzard has emerged as one of the most transcendent and unclassifiable comedic talents of his generation. On “The Believe Me Tour: Comedy, Painted Nails, Politics, My Life!” Izzard turns the lens upon himself. The tour supports Izzard’s first book, Believe Me, which was released last summer and is a New York Times best-seller. Writing with the same candor and insight evident in his comedy, he reflects on a childhood marked by the loss of his mother, boarding school and alternative sexuality, as well as a life in comedy, film, politics, running and philanthropy. Eddie Izzard performs at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in

The 2018 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, “Wonders of Water,” will celebrate the beauty and life-sustaining interplay of horticulture and water. America’s leading floral and garden designers will create tropical jungles, temperate forests, native woodlands and arid landscapes amidst ten acres, showcasing the plants that thrive in each environment, from exquisite orchids and flowering vines to luminescent desert blooms. The interplay of plants and water will lead guests under a leafy canopy, along a rope bridge and to otherworldly scenes that depict the journey water takes and the purifying system provided by nature along the way.

NATURE

Fine feathered festivities Croton Point Park, Boscobel, other venues host annual EagleFest featuring Dar Williams

ime was, not so long ago, that the rare chance of spotting a bald eagle here in the Hudson Valley was reason enough to get people outdoors on a winter’s day. With once-endangered bald eagles now reestablished by the hundreds in our flyway, though, a lot of people have scoped out their own favorite year-round viewing locations. So the people at the Ossining-based nature center called the Teatown Lake Reservation have had to come up with some extra incentives to spur turnout at their annual EagleFest, returning for the 14th year on Saturday, February 10. How about a performance from singer/songwriter Dar Williams? Williams will be appearing at this year’s EagleFest, at the center of the action: Croton Point Park. That site will also feature live raptor shows in heated tents, and serve as the point of embarkation for bus tours to a circuit of reliable winter eagle-viewing sites: the Croton Boat Ramp, George’s Island, New Croton Dam, Steamboat Dock and Riverfront Green. Trained spotters with scopes will be encamped at each location. If you want to start your day early, catch the MetroNorth Eagle Train leaving Poughkeepsie at 8:50 a.m. and ride to Croton-Harmon in the same car with a naturalist, who’ll be pointing out winter bird life along the Hudson River. Shuttle buses will provide free service between the CrotonHarmon station and the park. Admission to EagleFest at Croton Point costs $17 for adults, $10 for children aged 6 to 11 in advance, $22 for adults and $12 for kids on the day of the event. Children aged 5 and under get in free. Bus tours cost an extra $26 per ticket for those aged 14 and up. If money is an issue, you can try your luck at spotting eagles from the Belvedere at Boscobel, located at 1601 Route 9D in Garrison, one of EagleFest’s official viewing sites. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on February 10, a naturalist from Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary will be on-site at Boscobel with binoculars and a scope to help visitors spot bald eagles as they feed on fish and waterfowl in the Hudson River’s unfrozen waters. (Even if the majestic birds are in hiding that day, it’s still one of the most stunning viewpoints in the entire Valley.) Admission to the Boscobel site that day is free, and preregistration is not required.

Why an actress of Mirrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stature came anywhere near a script this torpid is perhaps the biggest mystery yet to be associated with the famous Winchester Mystery House.

came anywhere near a script this torpid is perhaps the biggest mystery yet to be associated with the famous Winchester Mystery House. While sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much of a pro to â&#x20AC;&#x153;phone it in,â&#x20AC;? thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little that can be done with what the directors and their screenwriting collaborator Tom Vaughan have supplied. For the audience, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little that can be done but laugh at the jump scares that are supposed to horrify us, and even more so at the hokey dialogue, which is delivered with as little irony as a Hammer Films spookfest from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s in an age of considerably less innocence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate, because one can easily see how the story of the ever-expanding Winchester mansion might spark the desire to tell it cinematically.

idea at the time,â&#x20AC;? it fails spectacularly in the execution. The filmmakers take the tour guidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sales pitch at face value: that Sarah Winchester, widowed heir to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company fortune, never gave up her architectural expansion/remodeling hobby in her lifetime because she wanted to provide a home for the restless spirits of victims of gunshots fired from the rifles that her late husband had manufactured. This is offered as the explanation for why the house is peppered with reversed design decisions: a staircase to nowhere, windows without daylight behind them, doors that open onto blank walls or empty space or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open at all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a Wild West Hogwarts, sans magical charm. Not much is known, historically, about the real Sarah Winchester; neither she nor her employees ever spoke to the press. In her lifetime she was reportedly eccentric,

February 8, 2018 occasionally hosting séances, and certainly had more money than she knew what to do with. Whether or not she actually believed in ghosts or felt guilty about the source of her income is undocumented. Mirren portrays the character as quite sane and lucid, to the surprise of Dr. Eric Price (Jason Clarke), an entirely fictional psychologist sent to certify the widow as mentally incompetent so that the rest of the shareholders can seize control of the firearms company. Dr. Price, who has his own haunting personal history with guns, at first attributes the apparitions he sees to his laudanum addiction, but is quickly disabused of that notion, thanks to Sarah’s zero-tolerance drug policy, plenty of “Boo!” moments and the liberal application of exposition. Also on the scene are Sarah’s niece, Marian Marriott (Sarah Snook), who was a real person, and her son Henry (Finn Scicluna-O’Prey), who was not – mercifully, as the character spends much of the movie possessed by the ghost of a vengeful Confederate soldier and its entirety encased in possibly the worst ginger wig ever worn onscreen. (One of the household servants is similarly cursed with clearly glued-on sideburns, not nearly the same color as his hair, that rival poor Henry’s shiny red moptop for fakery.) Snook gives her thankless part the old college try, and has an interesting face, but is, like Mirren, wasted on poor material, while Clarke proves a decidedly lackluster leading man. It pains me to write so dismissively of a movie that at least made a feeble effort to do something that Big Media has so far been reluctant to essay: consider, in an entertaining middlebrow fiction-feature context rather than a scathing Michael Moore documentary, the human costs of America’s infatuation with guns. That movie has yet to be made. Maybe we will see it in our time. In the short term, I’d recommend sticking with the Oscarnominee reruns. – Frances Marion Platt

Millerton’s Moviehouse needs a lift – literally What started out as a Grange Hall in the village of Millerton became a movie theater in 1915, but dwindled to porno-house status and was boarded up by the late 1970s. Robert and Carol Sadlon rescued the building and have been operating it under the unpretentious name of the Moviehouse for almost four decades. It is now a four-screen digital cinema and a regional destination point for entertainment, culture and

learning experiences. While the Sadlons’ film equipment is state-of-the-art, the two-story structure itself presents challenges – especially to audience members with mobility issues. And since the Moviehouse is listed as a historic building, there are all sorts of rules as to how much it can be remodeled. Installing a commercial elevator will make films and events on the second floor accessible to all customers, and also allow for the creation of an accessible restroom for people with disabilities. To complete the project, the Sadlons have turned to the moviegoing public to raise $140,850 through a GoFundMe campaign, with hopes of getting construction underway this spring. They’re calling the campaign an “elevator pitch” and advertising it with the slogan, “The Moviehouse needs a lift!” You can become a patron of the arts by paying a visit to www.gofundme.com/ themoviehouselift and making a pledge. Levels of support range from $25 to $5,000, with associated perqs of correspondingly increasing value to the donor. The Moviehouse is located at 48 Main Street in Millerton. For more information, call (518) 789-0022.

Performances of A Doll’s House begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with Sunday matinées at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $23. Call the Center box office at (845) 876-3080 or visit www. centerforperformingarts.org to purchase. There’s also a special $8 showing for students at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, February 14 that would make a very thought-provoking Valentine’s Day date indeed for today’s teens. Admission for that performance is for school groups by preregistration only at (845) 876-3088, extension 13. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, 3.5 miles east of downtown Rhinebeck.

Two Hudson Valley-produced ﬁlms win big at Sundance

A Doll’s House on stage in Rhinebeck The 2016 election, 2017’s #metoo conflagration and the upcoming centennial of the 19th Amendment have melded to spawn a perfect storm of opportunities for arts organizations to spotlight great female characters and authors. In that spirit, the Rhinebeck Theatre Society has proclaimed this its “Season of Women,” and Nora Helmer gets her turn onstage for three weekends in February. This new production of Henrik Ibsen’s classic 19th-century drama A Doll’s House, in which a devoted Victorian housewife comes to terms with the ways in which her idealized, narcissistic husband takes her for granted, opened on February 2 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck and runs through February 18. Dorothy Luongo directs, and the show stars Francine Ciccarelli as Nora and Joseph Bongiorno as Torvald.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post stars Chloë Grace Moretz (right), and it just won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance.

Now that New York State tax law has been tweaked to give filmmakers a bigger tax incentive to shoot scenes in Hudson Valley locations, news of productions underway in our region are becoming commonplace occurrences. And we’re beginning to see the results. If you watched the SuperBowl, you probably saw the latest trailer for A Quiet Place, starring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, and may have recognized that farm just outside New Paltz or that footbridge on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. Moreover, the recent Sundance Film Festival – often a precursor of big-screen success – conferred two of its most prestigious awards upon movies produced in our neck of the woods. For fiction features, the most coveted plum at Sundance, the Palme D’Or of the Wasatch Mountains, is the Grand Jury

Prize (US Dramatic). Considered the most influential award on the US independent circuit, the Grand Jury Prize is a reliable marker of future potential, with recent winners including Whiplash, Fruitvale Station and Beasts of the Southern Wild. This year it goes to Desiree Akhavan’s cinematic interpretation of Emily M. Danforth’s 2012 coming-of-age novel The Miseducation of Cameron Post: the story of a teenage girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) who is outed as a lesbian and sent to a gay “conversion therapy” center by her evangelical aunt. Though the book is set in the author’s native Montana, the movie was largely shot in the Hudson Valley with assistance from the Hudson Valley Film Commission. High school scenes were filmed at Coxsackie High School, and other scenes in Saugerties and Catskill. Sasha Lane, Forrest Goodluck and John Gallagher, Jr., co-star, and local extras were cast by Heidi Eklund of Hudson Valley Casting. Another prize presented at Sundance that always bears watching is the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award; past recipients have included Memento, The Squid and the Whale, The Station Agent, Winter’s Bone, In a World… and The Skeleton Twins. This year, the winner is Christina Choe’s Nancy, produced in the Hudson Valley last January. The film follows a young woman (Andrea Riseborough) with a habit for spinning fantastical stories around her quiet life as a temp. When she sees a report on TV about parents whose daughter was abducted years prior, the photofit of what she might look like today looks similar enough to Nancy that she reaches out to them. The film also features part-time Hudson Valley residents John Leguizamo and Steve Buscemi. – Frances Marion Platt

MUSIC Mountain Jam 2018 leans indie

am afraid I have played the “Mountain Jam has changed, man” angle for so many years now that I have no authority left on the matter. It doesn’t much matter. While I have heard some heated hubbub surrounding the 2018 lineup announcement both ways (for example, BSP’s Mike Amari declaring it the best lineup yet, whilst some jam friends declared it pretty lame), most people seem benignly accepting, having seen it coming. The facts are clear: second season post-Warren Haynes; no Spearhead; lots of indierock and pop; no jam, just a mountain bracing for a different clientele from the one who made it big in the first place. It has been underway for a while, however. The screen reads not “Red alert! Identity crisis” but rather, “Transformation complete.” We’ve moved on. A year after the storied Hunter Mountain latespring festival scored perhaps its biggest headliner to date in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 2018’s nominal headliner – slack surf-popster Jack Johnson, who is nothing if not easygoing – seems rather vanilla and low-key. Unlike Beck and Wilco, unlike Levon and Bobby, 2018 is not about the headliner; it is about a new vividness and contemporaneity from the top down. Sturgill Simpson belongs squarely in the storied tradition of country songwriters completely ignored by country audiences (keeping company there with Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakam and scores of other American treasures, starting with the country-music exile Johnny Cash). The British band Alt-J commands a delicate

kind of treacly atmosphere that might once have been thought a little fey for the beery slopes of Hunter. The War on Drugs and former member Kur t Vile are really into long guitar solos that sound exactly nothing like Gov’t Mule. The Decembrists, love them or not, are the godfathers of the new indie Baroque. Fa t h e r Jo h n Misty is a louche Laurel Canyon caricature that has surprisingly grown more real than its creator, former Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman. Further down, we find some groovecentric party music – Turkuaz and Chicano Batman, for example, or the riffing rock of the Record Company – and a generous helping of young roots-leaning singer/songwriters. Local representation is light (so far), and you can’t really count the Felice Brothers. Of course, one thing to remember is that this is just the initial announcement. Spearhead may show yet; else no morning yoga. Check out the

song, from timeless to topical, and with a pretty dazzling command of their traditions: the fine shadings of period, place, idiom and variation. Folk lifers, I thought: playful, knowledgeable and reverent without sanctimony, with none of the affectations of authenticity that often send me scurrying to the bar when the bearded young bards of Brooklyn take the mic and define history as something that ended, for their purposes, in 1963. Nowhere was the effortless fluency more apparent than in Elly’s nuanced, tricky and deeply rooted guitar-playing. I knew nothing of her story at this point: that she is a 2014 inductee into the New York Blues Hall of Fame; that her guitar teacher was David Bromberg (it shows); that she was offered a recording contract by New York City’s Red Robin Records when she was 16 (her mother refused it); that she was a fixture on the NYC folk scene of her own less-storied generation, a Greenwich Village folk torchbearer and a serious practitioner long after Look Magazine had looked away from that first generation of bearded bards seduced by Delta blues and folk oracle. I just thought, “Shit, man, she can play.” I’m kind of a genius like that. Now I sit with Little Red Wagon, Elly Wininger’s lovely, spirited and reflective solo album out now on Rabbit Hole Records. Traditional in instrumentation and in overall sound, and with plenty of rural blues and café folk reference throughout, Little Red Wagon yet delivers a stern warning about doctrinal traditionalism in its lead track. “Clarion River” is no folk trope at all, but a jazzinflected smooth acoustic pop tune in the early-‘70s mode of Joni and – especially – JT. Across the record’s 13 tracks, Wininger defines folk music inclusively and globally,

Wininger does not try to sound hip and world-wearied, and thank God for that. She sounds “real” in a different way. The moment finds her looking back a lot through various musical and lyrical lenses, the confessional and the historical intertwining. But the voice remains a woman in the present: experienced and generous; on the whole positive and keeping the faith, but with plenty of challenges and falters; a little square at times, but she owns that honestly, too. And throughout, of course, everything is brought home again and again by her exquisite guitar-playing and that of coproducer Stephen Miller.

MUSIC

DAMIEN SNEED’S “CLASSICAL, JAZZ & SOUL” SERIES DEBUTS ON FRIDAY AT FISHER CENTER

he Catskill Jazz Factory continues its fruitful ongoing partnership with Bard College’s Fisher Center with a three-part winter concert series titled “Classical, Jazz and Soul: A Musical Offering.” At the helm will be the prodigious and multifaceted musician Damien Sneed, a genre-hopping pianist, conductor, composer, producer, arranger and educator and the 2014 recipient of the prestigious Sphinx Medal of Excellence, presented to emerging Black and Latino leaders in classical music. Wynton Marsalis has called Sneed “a very natural performer who is capable of performing a startling range of music, from Baroque and classical pieces to romantic warhorses to contemporary gospel songs...an ambassador for classical and gospel music who brings positivity, optimism and thoroughness to every occasion.” “Classical, Jazz and Soul” kicks off this Friday, February 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fisher Center’s intimate LUMA Theater with “Music & Words.” The program takes audiences on an exploration of the music of 1860 to the 1930s for strings, piano and voice, ranging from the spirituals, art songs and poems of Harry T. Burleigh and Laurence Hope to the melodic chords of Samuel Barber and the hit songs of George & Ira Gershwin. Leading this musical reflection on the relationship between composer and librettist, Sneed will be joined by Metropolitan Opera soprano Brandie Sutton, actor/writer Karen Chilton, baritone Justin Michael Austin and classical chamber musicians. Tickets for “Music & Words” cost $25 to $45 and can be ordered by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900 or online at http://fishercenter.bard.edu. The “Classical, Jazz and Soul” series continues with “The Golden Age of Song” on Saturday, March 17, with guest star Keyon Harrold, the multiple Grammy-winner who provided the trumpet sound for Don Cheadle as Miles Davis in the 2016 biopic Miles Ahead. “Sanctified Soul: 1960s to Today” rounds out the series on Saturday, April 21. Discounted series seats for all three shows are also available for $95.

scoffs (implicitly, for Elly is a nice person and does very little explicit scoffing) at retro purism and specious folk/blues identity play. She can go as pure as you want, but she doesn’t really see the point. In fact, at first at least, the rhythm of Little Red Wagon is one of an alternation in which non-folk excursions and fusions

alternate with returns to home base and bedrock: “Clarion River” into the traditional “Down the Line”; the AfroCuban, watercolor jazz reminiscence of “The Girl in the Tree House” into the nearChicago blues of “Shade” (penned by the wildly multifaceted Woodstock musician Kyle Esposito); the almost-show-tune/

The man called on, again and again, by the biggest names in pop, rock and soul is one of the few players of any instrument actually to have a groove named after him: the Purdie shuffle (you know it from Zeppelin’s “Fool in the Rain” and Toto’s “Rosanna,” if not from Purdie’s own iterations). Purdie has played in an honored role with Aretha Franklin, Steely Dan, Isaac Hayes, Joe Cocker and maybe even the Beatles. He returns to the Falcon on Friday, February 9 at 8 p.m. Per usual at the Falcon, there is no cover charge, but generous donation is what keeps the Bernard Purdies of this world coming by in good faith.

The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM) will host an opening reception on Saturday, February 10 from 4 to 6 p.m. for a memorial exhibition, “In Remembrance,” featuring the work of artists Jane Axel, Lenny Kislin, Pia Oste-Alexander and Sandra Palmer Shaw. The show will remain on view through March 11. Admission is free and open to the public. The four artists honored in the exhibit are remembered for their generous contributions and service to the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum and for their outstanding creative accomplishments. Jane Axel, who died at the age of 90 in 2015, was a longtime Woodstocker who arrived in the 1950s to attend drawing classes at the Art Students League summer program, and later studied sculpture with Tomas Penning. Through her generous bequest and gift of artworks, the WAAM

February 8, 2018 permanent collection has been enriched and invaluable support provided for exhibitions and programming. Pia Oste-Alexander, a dear friend of Jane Axel and Maverick Concerts, joined WAAM in 1957. Born in Stockholm, Oste-Alexander exhibited regularly at WAAM and was known for her whiteline woodcuts and inventive collage work; she was also one of the earliest artists represented by the Elena Zang Gallery. Lenny Kislin was a ubiquitous presence on the art scene in Woodstock and an active and longstanding member of WAAM. He was a past president of the Board of Directors and served on the committees for the permanent collection and archives. He was a staunch advocate for contemporary artists in the region and presented their work in a series of exhibitions that he curated at Oriole 9 restaurant. Kislin’s distinctive folkartlike constructions that he created from salvaged antiques were the subject of a solo exhibition at WAAM in 2016 – one that also celebrated the artist’s 70th birthday. Sandra Palmer Shaw was a longtime member of WAAM and a passionate supporter of its education program. Shaw’s most recent gift supported the purchase of a portable printing press for use as part of the in-school curriculum that the organization brings to more than 700 students in the Ulster County school system. Shaw’s delicate and mysterious abstractions could be seen regularly in members’ exhibitions at WAAM. “In Remembrance” will include artwork selections from WAAM’s permanent collection, along with works from the estates of these artists. The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum is located at 28 Tinker Street in Woodstock. Gallery hours are Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. WAAM is closed Monday, Tuesday and major holidays. For more information, call (845) 679-2940 or visit www.woodstockart.org.

“Meredith Heuer: Colorﬁelds” opens this Saturday in Beacon The Matteawan Gallery presents “Meredith Heuer: Colorfields,” an exhibition of color photographs and watercolors. Heuer’s first exhibition at the Gallery features photographs and watercolors that explore abstract expressions of emotion through color. The subjects of her photographs are blocks of gelatin made at home and photographed freestanding, like sculptures, against a white background. The resulting images resemble minimal abstract paintings or pieces of ice. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, February 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. The show runs through March 4. The Matteawan Gallery is located at 436 Main Street in Beacon. For sample images and more information, visit www.matteawan. com.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

February 8, 2018

ART Sliced Porosity Block, an urban complex in Chengdu, Holl was inspired by a line in a poem by ancient Chinese poet Du Fu that refers to three valleys. He conceived of the five towers not as discrete skyscrapers but as jagged, mountainlike structures, their masses sliced and angled to allow for the maximum penetration of sunlight, rising from three multilevel plazas, each punctuated with a pond that reflects light back towards the sky. Holl incorporates a “micro-scale” stree tscape of small shops within the complex, but also creates notes of drama – expressed, for example, by the three large sculpted openings in the towers that serve as entrances to pavilions dedicated to history, light and art. The entire complex is heated and cooled with geothermal wells, and the ponds, surrounded by grasses, serve to cool the space in the hot summer months. Closer to home, Holl has designed a small house, called the Ex of In House, off the grid on a wooded preserve in Rhinebeck that trades mere square footage for inspirational forms that convey an experience of spaciousness and light. He also hosts students at the preserve through his T2 Foundation, which organizes exhibitions. Holl divides his time between New York City and Rhinebeck, accompanied by his wife, architect Dimitra Tsachrelia, and young daughter. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed the architect.

in 1944. My father was a paratrooper, so this was exciting to me. I made the buildings with large round cuts in them. Each cut has a café or library or spa; all the amenities show up in the parachute holes. It’s a piece of a city, with a kindergarten, school and library.

I grew up on the edge of Puget Sound. When the sun would rise over that body of water, sprinkles of sunlight would be reﬂected on the ceiling of our house: a mystical and inspiring thing.

Luminist Architecture Steven Holl exhibition opens at Dorsky Museum

teven Holl Architects, a 40-person firm with offices in New York and Beijing, has built museums, libraries, health centers, chapels, university buildings, houses and mixed-use urban complexes consisting of hundreds of housing units and retail and community space. But no matter the configuration, scale or location, each building has the same beginning: a small watercolor sketched out by Steven Holl. How that concept evolves into a complicated structure of glass, concrete, metal and wood, entirely green and fitted harmoniously into the surrounding landscape, is the subject of a new exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art titled “Steven Holl: Making Architecture.” The exhibition examines 20 of his projects through his watercolors and the subsequent models that were made from them. It concludes with videos of the built projects. From the start, Holl, who is a tenured professor at Columbia University (he has taught there since 1981), resisted “corporatization,” maintaining his commitment to integrity and quality while happily finding success, as evidenced by the multiple awards that his firm has garnered. Holl himself has received a roomful of prizes, including his profession’s most prestigious awards. In 2001, he was named America’s Best Architect by Time Magazine, which praised him for designing “buildings that satisfy the spirit as well as the eye.” Much of the postwar built landscape tends toward the ugly, banal and dehumanizing; in a world starving for buildings that are beautiful, pleasant to inhabit, that connect rather than isolate people from nature and encourage community, along with being emissions-free, Holl came along just at the right time. His architecture is in great demand, from Richmond to Mumbai, Iowa to Nanjing, Helsinki to Taiwan. Each conception is rooted in the uniqueness of the place and site, a

confluence of the local culture and landscape that seeks to maximize the amount of natural light in a fluid space that often incorporates a water element and is fully reliant on green energy. One of his earliest buildings, a wooden house overlooking the sea in Martha’s Vineyard, was inspired by domiciles crafted out of beached whales from the original natives, as described in Melville’s Moby Dick; the building’s balloon frame – taking the form of a verandah and roof deck – or skeleton is on the outside. The Knut Hamson Center, a museum located near the Arctic Circle in Norway, is sheathed in stained black wood, a nod to traditional Norse stave churches, while the long grass of the roof garden echoes the sod roofs that once proliferated in the region. Conversely, the monumental, perpendicularly arranged rectangular blocks of the National Center for Contemporary Arts in Moscow, with its glass “flying beam” suspended near the top of the vertical block, clearly references Russian Constructivism. (Despite looking like something that fell to Earth from outer space, it’s powered by solar photovoltaics, heated and cooled by geothermal wells and fully illuminated by natural light.) The Shanghai Cofco Cultural & Health Center is designed to give the residents of nearby blocks of apartment buildings a sense of freedom. Its theme is clouds and time, resulting in forms evocative of the sinuous, weightless mountains in ancient Chinese landscape painting. Spiraling ramps circulate through the concrete building, which has whimsical cloudlike shapes cut out of its curved sides. The shimmering reflection of the building in an adjacent pool (used to recycle rainwater) further lightens the space, and the luscious roof garden of sedum plants provides a touch of green in the view from the surrounding apartment buildings. Holl adheres to this philosophy, no matter how big the scale. For example, in designing the 3.3 million-square-foot

When did you decide to become an architect? I was already building things by the time I was five. I grew up in Bremerton, Washington, on a peninsula located across from Seattle. It was a hardworking, hardscrabble place. My father could draw and paint, and he was instrumental in sparking my interest. My brother, James Holl, is a painter and sculptor, so you could say we were collaborating. The impulse of my designs is that there needs to be joy in life, in the artistic creation of things, and I’ve been going that route the whole way. I came to New York in 1977 from San Francisco. I had attended Architectural Association in London and studied in Rome after graduating from the University of Washington. How many projects are in development right now? Eighteen, including a new library in Malawi and new Geneva Operational Center for Médecins sans Frontières, or Doctors without Borders. We just won a major competition in Moscow called the Parachute Hybrid. It’s the same size as Linked Hybrid [a mixed-use complex of 644 apartments, stores and communal space in Beijing], located on an old airbase that was the center for paratroopers

How were you able to resist going the corporate route? I’ ve never given into the m o n e y. The problem with our society’s values is that they are driven by money, even though you can’t take it with you and it doesn’t do anything. What’s important is a great piece of music or work of sculpture. A house should be about the joy of inspiration, not about how big it is. I want to celebrate the artistic intensity of life. What better place to do this than in architecture, where you can bring it to everyone? The Community Library at Hunter’s Point, Queens, will open when this show opens, and it’s the kind of building we should be doing. How did you survive in the early years of your career? For the first 15 years of my life in New York I made a living only as a teacher. I still have a full-time teaching job. How do you have time to teach full-time and design award-winning buildings? I love what I do. I love to draw and make sculpture. Why start with watercolor drawings? In order to have the intuition give birth to an inspired idea. I think about the direction of light. Every site and every circumstance on the face of the Earth is different. Today, more than ever, we need to be cognizant of that so that we give meaning to places, rather than just have some kind of commercial activity and build on a, b and c. How does your initial conception evolve? I start with a five-by-seven-inch analog drawing connecting my design from my

12 mind to my hand, then I take an iPhone photo of it and send the photo to the offices in New York and Beijing. The next step is putting the photo in the computer and printing a 3-D model, which can be made overnight by the machine; the largest model printer is in my office in New York. It’s complicated. In designing the library in Malawi, for example, I wanted the maximum amount of light in the interior. The light pours off the curved roof structures, which also collect solar energy. When the wind blows across the savannah it makes a wave shape. With the 3-D printer we could make a model [incorporating that shape] in a few days. In the case of the Franklin and Marshall Fine Arts Building, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania [which is represented by a model in the exhibition], an older brick building was torn down. We were doubling the size in the new building, but wanted to save the six or seven old trees, so the building needed to have a shape that avoided getting too close to the trees. I drew the diameter of the drip line of the trees’ branches and pushed them on the building, connecting them as a scallop wall, so that the building relates to the curves of the trees. The machine could print out all this complicated geometry. Such complicated structures must be expensive to build. The Franklin and Marshall Fine Arts Building is actually a very lowbudget building. You can build a box and for ten percent more, build a work of architecture; it’s not expensive. The concrete wall is exposed, the framing consists of lightweight metal and the curves are made from bent pipes. We use a new kind of recycled glass called Poraver here and in the Ex of In House. The way we economize is with the materials. The Hunter’s Point Community Library is also an inexpensive concrete structure. But we don’t economize the way the Modernists do. Technology has made it possible to build types of structures that just weren’t possible 20 years ago, I’m guessing. What happened with the iPhone was a revolution. The same thing happened in architecture. I’m having another show opening in the Antonia Jannona Gallery in Milan on April 14, in which there will be three sculptures made out of Lecce stone from a quarry opened by the Romans 2,000 years ago. I make a watercolor, then my assistant draws a computer model of that, we e-mail it to Italy and their robot takes this file and cuts stone with it. It’s a giant machine, 20 feet high. First there was Modernism, which swept away the past, imposed itself on the landscape and tended to isolate and disconnect people from nature. Postmodernism quoted traditional forms, but still suffered from “bigness.” You employ a Modernist flow of space that is dramatic, but human-scaled. Your buildings relate thematically and physically to the site, and they incorporate nature. Does this type of architecture have a name? I have a new book called Seven Houses, which is coming out in August. I talk about the Hudson Valley in a long essay that references the Hudson River School of landscape painters, such as Thomas Cole. The concentration of light and atmosphere depicted in their paintings is evident in all my buildings. So you could call it Luminist Architecture. Your work is characterized by playfulness. In some cases this is expressed in color, such as the polychrome shapes inset into the glass curtain wall of Maggie’s Centre Barts in London, which conjure up a medieval musical score. Other buildings feature fanciful shapes, such as the waveshaped curves of the roof structures of the Malawi Library. My approach is just like that of a child. The childlike imagination is freedom without constraint. Architecture can begin

ALMANAC WEEKLY with any idea; it can be inspired by music, painting, sculpture or poetry. For the Maggie’s Centre Barts, a support center for cancer patients that just opened, we invented a new form of stained glass. It’s made in Germany by Okalux. They embed a colored film between a special insulation material, which is a super-ecological new material invented for controlling light and insulation. We invented the layer of color, which is a very thin ultraviolet-proof film. You have written that “Space and Light [in architecture] are like Sound and Time in music.” Can you explain? I believe in the inspiration of light and space, which are powerful in and of themselves. One of the core issues is natural light and the way it changes through the season; the sunrise, noon light and sunset; how it comes into the room. Every room should have natural light; that’s the starting point. All your buildings are green, from the three-million-square-foot mixed-use complexes you have built in China to the small Ex of In House, which is located on a 28-acre wooded preserve near your house in Rhinebeck. How did the In House fare when the temperature was below zero? The pipes were freezing in our house, but I go to the In House, which is heated by a single geothermal well, and it’s 68 degrees inside: a perfect temperature. It’s superinsulated and has incredible sunlight, solar photovoltaic cells on the roof and radiant heat from the geothermal well. Although it’s only 918 square feet, it sleeps five. We put it up on Air B&B last July and it’s in total demand. Everyone wants to stay there. How much did it cost to build? About $900,000, but that’s because we had to have a gigantic septic system, with a 1,000-gallon tank, to meet the code in Rhinebeck. The house itself cost around $750,000. The materials are economical, consisting of all-natural plywood: fourby-eight sheets that are cut in half and staggered, so it looks like a running pattern covering the ceiling and walls. It doesn’t have any sheetrock, which I hate. The In house supports itself. The Linked Hybrid, located in Beijing, has 660 geothermal wells and was the largest geothermal installation in the world at the time. Ten years later, it works perfectly and doesn’t require any fossil fuels. Geothermal works perfectly in Kingston, too. But not if you live in a Victorian house. You’re probably better off building a new building that’s superinsulated with double-glazed windows. So, does that mean all this historic infrastructure is obsolete? No! The answer is we should do caseby-case studies to preserve Victorian architecture. Each situation will have its solution. There are super-efficient ways to make things better in a Victorian house. The irony is you can build a superinsulated new extension for less. I note that many of your projects incorporate water. I grew up on the edge of Puget Sound. When the sun would rise over that body of water, sprinkles of sunlight would be reflected on the ceiling of our house: a mystical and inspiring thing. I always try to put a body of water on the south side. There’s a small pond at the In House, which brings dancing sunlight onto the ceiling. Ninety-eight percent of our bodies consist of water, and water covers threequarters of the earth. I’m just reminding us water is part of our nature. In your Seven Point Manifesto for the In House, one is “Purpose finds In.” What do you mean? It seems you’re reversing the dearly held Modernist precept of “Form follows function.” Yes, I’m turning this functionalist attitude around. We should instead aim for sacred space and arrange ourselves to

think of how natural light should be used. We should have something almost like a piece of music, which we can enjoy every day, instead of adhering to a grocery list of functions, which is the most boring thing in the world. The functionalist idea that you can take a list of programmed parts and think you can make a building that will last is a fallacy. All these functions change. We have beautiful experiences in older buildings because they have good light and air. Elementary schools with 16foot ceilings are about light and space. Air conditioning made building designs even worse, by making the floor plans too deep for natural light to penetrate, which was a mistake. What has been your most challenging project? Probably the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts extension, because of the politics. We were competing against six architectural firms and had to make 60 presentations to different committees. The building is an extension of an Edward Durrell Stone building built in 1972, and the site is a former parking lot on the south. Our design connected the existing building to the Potomac River and consisted of structures both aboveand below-ground, expanding into the landscape and bringing light down below the surface of the ground. They said we couldn’t work around all the underground utilities. But they were wrong. It’s under construction. At the groundbreaking everybody’s there, including Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, Caroline’s daughter, and Joe Biden. As I’m shaking Joe’s hand he turned to me and said, “You know, I always wanted to be an architect. When I was running for Congress in 1969 or 1970, I told my wife, ‘If I don’t make this race, I’m going to save up for architecture school.’” I said, “I wouldn’t trade places with you.” What’s your dream commission? Is there a type of building you’d especially like to design that you haven’t yet? I’d like to be commissioned an opera house. That would be fun. I teach a class on the architectonics of music, and the analogies between music and architecture are very important. My wife plays piano and my daughter is learning to play the piano. I used to play the trumpet, and now there’s a tuba laying around. You describe the Ex of In House as “a house of compression and inner voids.” That aesthetic seems to go against the grain of the sprawl of the typical American house and landscape. Is the little house a taste of the future, if we are to survive – and perhaps be happier in the prospect of living better, with less? It has a lot of hope in it. Five suburbanstyle houses were planned for that site before we bought the 28 acres at a reduced cost and joined the lots together to form a single nature preserve. All the trees and turtles and squirrels and deer are protected. We made the house efficient and preserved the landscape around it. An act like that regarding preservation of the rural landscape is in the spirit of Scenic Hudson’s work: It expresses hope in the future cultural works of the Hudson Valley. The T2 Reserve, as you call it, also hosts a group of architectural fellows every year, one of the initiatives of the foundation that you founded in 2010. What is your goal? In July, five fellows will come here to study under my wife, myself and several other professors and do a project. The goal is to pass onto the next generation some hopeful possibilities of the inspiration of light and space. We decided to do this on this land, so we could activate it and get people interested in it. We’ve just installed a sculpture trail that’s connected to the landscape. I’m a member of Scenic Hudson, which is a great institution. We live in this incredible environment and need to preserve the natural landscape, but it doesn’t mean we can’t build in a

February 8, 2018 compact, super-energy-efficient way. The little house so important for that reason. It’s an exercise in simplicity and exploring ideas in a little space. – Lynn Woods “Steven Holl: Making Architecture” is part of the Hudson Valley Masters series at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz, running from February 10 to July 15. It’s curated by Nina Stritzler-Levine, gallery director at the Bard Graduate Center in New York City. An opening reception will take place on Saturday, February 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.newpaltz.edu/ museum or call (845) 257-3844.

Three new exhibitions open on Saturday at the Dorsky Museum A reception to mark the opening of three new exhibits will be held on Saturday, February 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on the SUNY-New Paltz campus. “Abstract-Minded: Works by Six Contemporary African Artists” is currently on view, featuring work by contemporary artists born or raised in African countries. “Steven Holl: Making Architecture” presents the work of Rhinebeck-based architect Steven Holl in the next iteration of the Dorsky’s Hudson Valley Masters series. The show will open on Saturday, February 10 along with “Marking Time: Andy Warhol’s Vision of Celebrations, Commemorations and Anniversaries.” The exhibit of work by Warhol is part of a collaboration among regional universities. The museum will also reopen “The Dorsky Collects: Selections from the Permanent Collection,” a continuing exhibition of historical and contemporary works, and present “Barbara Morgan: Photographs,” featuring works drawn from the museum’s permanent collection. The artists in “Abstract-Minded: Works by Six Contemporary African Artists” produce work thematically or conceptually connected to the continent by using abstraction as a way of engaging in a broader conversation about art. Abstraction is as indigenous to African visual culture as it is to other parts of the world. The exploration of purely formal elements is not only readily evidenced in the rich traditions of textile design and other decorative practices, but is also present in the stylization of much figurative work from Africa. In our increasingly global existence, the world is becoming less exotic, and is experienced more as a sphere of commonalities, dreams, fears and aspirations. Curated by Osi Audu, participating artists include Audu along with Nicholas Hlobo, Serge Alain Nitegeka, Odili Donald Odita, Nnenna Okore and Elias Sim. “Marking Time: Andy Warhol’s Vision of Celebrations, Commemorations and Anniversaries” is the first exhibition to explore Warhol’s insights into the social and personal significances of such time markers. Among the works included in the exhibition are prints occasioned by the centennial of the Brooklyn Bridge and the five-year anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination, Polaroid photographs recording holiday motifs and feminist milestones, black-and-white photographs of birthday celebrations and a work in plastic marking the ten-year anniversary of the fabled Leo Castelli Gallery. The show is part of “Warhol x 5,” a series of exhibitions in 2018 organized by five university art museums in the region. Drawing upon each other’s collections, each museum focuses on a different theme, and all feature works donated by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The galleries are closed on holidays and during intersessions.

CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SNOWY DAY IN POUGHKEEPSIE

appy 50 th birthday to the classic children’s book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats! Why does this book matter? Because Peter’s dark skin color was an uneventful, unmentioned element in the story, and it caused a seismic reaction. Our society’s backgrounds and skin tones vary, but our storybooks do not reflect that well – not yet, anyway. One teacher wrote to author Keats, sharing, “The kids in my class, for the first time, are using brown crayons to draw themselves. These are AfricanAmerican children. Before this, they drew themselves with pink crayons. But now, they can see themselves.” Give your family a new chance to see themselves and attend a reading of The Snowy Day and other books that reflect more of our community’s diversity this Saturday, February 10 from 10 a.m. to noon at SUNY-Dutchess in the Library Quiet Study Area. This gathering is part of the college’s Black History Month events, and is free and open to the public. SUNY-Dutchess is located at 53 Pendell Road in Poughkeepsie.

ALTERNATIVE & CONVENTIONAL The best integrative medicine available for a holistic approach to your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare.

Hear two-time Olympic medalist Betsey Armstrong in Rhinebeck The 2018 Winter Olympics get underway on February 9 at PyeongChang in South Korea, grabbing the attention even of non-sports-fans around the world. That makes this an especially good time to hear from local folks who have participated in past yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; games. One of those is Betsey Armstrong, a Rhinebeck resident who won a silver medal in the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing and a gold in London in 2012. Water polo is her sport, and goalkeeper her position. When Armstrong retired in 2014, she recalled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, obviously what we did in the Olympics in London was magical and a great memory; but I really get emotional when I think about how we worked as a team, and how people on the team were so willing to work together as a team. You see the most beautiful sides of one another and the ugliest sides of one another, and you know that you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without each other.â&#x20AC;? This sports hero will share her personal stories of the Olympics at the Starr Library on Saturday, February 17 at 4 p.m., as the next event in the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witness to History lecture series. Admission is free, and you can save yourself a seat by preregistering at http://starrlibrary.org or calling (845) 876-4030. The Starr Library is located at 68 West Market Street in Rhinebeck.

SHEILA JORDAN HEADLINES HUDSON JAZZ FESTIVAL

he Hudson Valley continues to be one of those pockets of musical creativity that are keeping the jazz idiom alive and innovative. The latest addition to our region’s year-round roster of jazz-flavored public celebrations is the aptly named Hudson Jazz Festival, debuting the weekend of February 16 to 18 at Hudson Hall in the historic Hudson Opera House in the City of Hudson. The lineup for the fest’s inaugural year boasts some intriguing themes and acts, notably Sheila Jordan and JoAnne Brackeen. Pianist Armen Donelian is serving as curator for this year’s event, and sets the tone for Friday evening, which he’s calling “Sounds from the Silk Road.” Beginning at 7 p.m., Donelian will perform “Songs of My Ancestors,” delving into his roots with his “beautifully elusive” (Downbeat) arrangements of poetic works by the 18th-century Armenian troubadour Sayat-Nova, whose name means King of Songs in Persian.

et’s talk about winter air. Ever notice that in your freezer, the ice cubes shrink over time? And that if you have frost on your car, it will probably be totally gone by the time you reach your destination, even if the weather is subfreezing? And that snowfields shrink and eventually vanish without melting? The cause is sublimation. That’s when ice turns directly into vapor without first having to melt. On a cold sunny day, you may have noticed that the huge piles of snow pushed onto the edges of parking lots by plows sometimes look as if they’re steaming. This is one sign that sublimation is underway. And if your home’s walkway or driveway has gotten a thin coating of ice and snow and you’d rather not use salt, just leave it alone. If the air is dry – as it usually is this time of year – and especially if it’s sunny, all that white stuff will go away by itself. Even if it never melts. This is because water molecules will happily go from their liquid or solid phase into their gaseous phase; the only thing that’s required is that they’re moving fast enough. Each molecule jiggles at a particular speed; and in a huge mass of them, some are
