Interview with Alissa Quart this Saturday at Woodstock Forum

Alissa Quart is the author of four nonfiction books, including Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America, which was published in June by Ecco/HarperCollins. She will be interviewed live by journalist, editor and critic Julie Lasky on Saturday, August 11 from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Woodstock Library Forum. Quart’s latest book examines the lives of many middle-class Americans who can now barely afford to raise children. As executive editor, Quart co-founded with Barbara Ehrenreich the current incarnation of the not-for-profit Economic Hardship Reporting Project, which aims to change the national conversation around both poverty and economic insecurity. Funded by the Institute for Policy Studies, its aim is to tell the underreported stories of American inequality through a range of genres and contributors. Quart has written for The New York Times, The Atlantic and The New York Review of Books. She writes the Outclassed column for The Guardian. She received the 2018 Columbia Journalism School Alumna Award and the 2017 LA Press Club Award for Commentary. She was a 2010 Nierman fellow at Harvard, and she was the 2015 Ottaway Professor at SUNYNew Paltz and has taught at a number of universities, including Columbia.

Blueberry Festival in Ellenville this Saturday

lueberry season is still raging full-force along the Shawangunk Ridge – especially the easy-to-pick highbush species, with their paler-blue, large, juicy, small-seeded fruits. Sunnier spots where the berries ripen early are probably already picked-over, whether by birds, humans or other mammals; but now would be a good time to check your favorite shadier troves. Prefer to let someone else do the gathering – not to mention the baking, on a hot August day? Then you’ll want to head to Ellenville this Saturday, where the annual Blueberry Festival will be held. This celebration of the abundant local fruit commemorates the colorful history of the “huckleberry pickers” who once eked out a subsistence living in tiny mountain hamlets, while it entices visitors to experience a scenery-rich community on a slow bounce back from economic hard times. It is also intended as “a ‘give-back’ for all the hard work each and every one of us contributes to making our community what it is,” according to the event’s organizers at the Ellenville/Wawarsing Chamber of Commerce. With activities scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 11, the Blueberry Festival kicks off with a Blueberry Pancake Breakfast, a fundraiser for the local fire company. It takes place from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Pioneer Engine Co.’s headquarters at Norbury Hall on Center Street. Afterwards you can amble over to Canal Street and Liberty Square, the center of the Festival action. There, live music will be performed all day, featuring the Carl Richards Band, the Hudson Valley Youth Jazz Orchestra, the Evergreen Chorus JiNKS Quartet and the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Band. Stroll amongst the 175+ vendors at the street fair, take the kids to the Children’s Area to check out the bounce house and get their faces painted. Witness the announcement of the winners of the Homemade Blueberry Muffin Contest, which happens shortly after noon in the Muffin Tent by the Hunt Memorial Building stage. (If you want to compete, get your entries there by 11 a.m.) And don’t head home before loading up on desserts at the Blueberry Pie Sale, where the pies are baked by Cohen’s Bakery using local blueberries.

GILBERT GOTTFRIED PLAYS COLONY IN WOODSTOCK THIS SATURDAY

rue to their initial intentions (for the owners are theater as well as music people), Colony in Woodstock continues to flex its muscle as a comedy venue, drawing in outsize talents given the venue’s boutique size and feel. While many of the bigger names that Colony has booked are talents of the zeitgeist (Chris Gethard, for example), on Saturday, August 11, the club presents an iconic giant of the old school: New York City comedian and film actor Gilbert Gottfried, a veteran of Saturday Night Live, The Cosby Show and countless film roles. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. For more information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com. – John Burdick

Performing Arts of Woodstock presents a reading of Bernard Pomerance’s classic play The Elephant Man on Saturday, August 11 at 7 p.m. Based on the life of Joseph Merrick, who lived in London during the latter part of the 19th century, The Elephant Man tells the story of a deformed young man found abandoned and helpless. He’s admitted for observation to Whitechapel, a prestigious London hospital, and placed under the care of a famous young doctor, who educates him and introduces him to London society. Merrick changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati. But his belief that he can become a man like any other is a dream never to be realized. Directed by Lora Lee Ecobelli, the reading takes place at the Mescal Hornbeck Community Center on Rock City Road in Woodstock. Admission costs $12.

Elsie Fisher in Eighth Grade. Many young viewers are reporting that this ﬁlm’s depiction of Gen Z-ers (or Linksters) is accurate.

Antisocial media Anxious girl barricades herself behind blogs in Eighth Grade

t is a truth universally acknowledged that middle school (or junior high, as it was once known) represents the worst time in a person’s life, afterwards recalled with shudders if at all. It’s the time when bullying behavior peaks; when compelling hormonal surges and growing needs for independence alternate crazily with fears about leaving childhood behind; when you desperately need to be liked, but everyone else seems cooler than you. These are more or less universals, and Bo Burnham employs them as background radiation in his first feature film, Eighth Grade. But it’s also a movie about how being 13 years old right now is different from the way it was in all past times, on account of social media taking the place of real-life interactions for most kids. On one level it rings true that the

contemporary youths depicted are so stunningly inarticulate, and so apparently uninterested in (or embarrassed by) anything outside the flickering virtual universe accessed via their electronic devices. On another, it’s so depressing that one wants to shake the screen and yell, “No! Surely not! The kids I know are much more intelligent and informed and engaged than this!” Younger viewers than I are reporting that the film’s depiction of Gen Z-ers (or Linksters or whatever they’re properly called) is fairly accurate, however. Their internal worlds are shaped by infotainment, and their external worlds averse to real connection. Maybe what’s different about being on the cusp of puberty these days is the fact that things are changing even faster in the real world than they are inside one’s body, inspiring a need to self-isolate. Burnham himself, who is 27, hails from the first crop of kids who grew up on social media; his career as a standup comedian and musical

satirist got launched by a YouTube video he made at 16 that went viral. But already his experience is seen as old-school, and his movie is peppered with weary adolescent snark about how nobody uses Facebook a n y m o r e . In s t a g r a m i s the current communications medium of choice, but next year that might be passé as well, surpassed by some new technology. B u r n h a m apparently gets it that he’s already too old to have his finger on the pulse of eighth-graders in 2018. He touches on the universals of 13-year-old woe, gives us some insights into specific

The Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival winds up on Sunday, August 12 at 2 p.m., when the Rosendale Theatre screens La Chana, Lucija Stojevic’s documentary about the return to the stage of Antonia Santiago Amador, a once-famous gitana (Roma) ﬂamenco dancer.

EVENT

HUDSON VALLEY FLAMENCO FESTIVAL COMES TO A FINALE THIS WEEKEND IN ROSENDALE

flamenco performance is an exorcism of sorts. The dancers, singers and musicians who practice this artform are forever in quest of a quality called duende – a word that has no exact English equivalent. In the folklore of Spanish-speaking countries, a duende is a kind of mischievous household spirit: a goblin or sprite who can be helpful if appeased, harmful if crossed. Metaphorically speaking, duende is that dark, insistent, otherworldly quality of a work of art that makes the little hairs on the backs of your arms stand up. Once it’s in you, you’ve got to dance it out. The great Spanish poet Federico García Lorca wrote a famous essay trying to define duende, terming it “the very dearest thing that life can offer the intellectual.” The Hudson Valley isn’t normally a place one associates with the spirit of duende, but Anna Librada Mazo Georges is aiming to change that by starting a Flamenco Festival in our neck of the woods. Born and mostly raised in New Paltz, Anna has duende in her blood from her father’s side. Her Andalucían grandparents fled Spain to resettle in the US in the 1930s. Anna got her middle name, Librada, from her grandmother: “It’s a rare Spanish name,” she says. “It was outlawed by Franco because it’s the feminine form of librado, which means freed or liberated.” At the age of 9, Anna began studying dance with Susan Slotnick, and at age 12 with Livia Vanaver. “Bill Vanaver loves flamenco,” she notes. “From the time I was little, he was telling me, ‘You’re Andalucían; you should learn flamenco!” She experienced her first flamenco master class at the age of 15; then, while studying Arts Management and Dance at Emerson College, she took a year off to spend time with her grandmother, who had moved back to Spain following the fall of the Franco regime. There she studied flamenco from true masters of the art at Peña la Platería, an institute founded by García Lorca himself to help preserve traditional Spanish culture. And there she found her life’s calling. “I wanted to drop out of college and stay there, but my parents said no,” Anna recalls. “So as soon as I graduated college, I moved to Granada. I lived in a cave overlooking the Alhambra!” In 2010, Anna came home from a stint of teaching flamenco in Japan and married her high school sweetheart, Jack Georges. Jack’s Navy career means that the family — now including daughters Abigail, 7, and Lucelia, 3 — must move to a new country every few years when Jack gets reassigned. Fortunately for Anna’s work, they have been able to spend the past two years living in Spain, where she has been studying advanced flamenco technique. But this summer, Anna is making a longtime dream come true: launching the first-ever Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival, which she hopes will become an ongoing annual cultural celebration and help establish the region as a hotbed of duende. The 2018 Flamenco Festival started on August 5 and will run until August 12. The main event, titled Cante, Baile, Toque, is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 11 at the Rosendale Theatre. It’s a family-friendly multimedia performance that will run about 75 minutes, Anna says. Most of the program consists of what she calls “the people’s flamenco”: the traditional form that is performed at social gatherings all over southern Spain, as opposed to “high art” flamenco. “All the artists participating have connections to the Hudson Valley,” she adds. “Our mission is supporting artists in search of duende.” Saturday’s performers include singers Mario Rincon and Julia Patinella, guitarists Jared Newman and Mike Diago and dancers Elisabet Torras and Anna Librada Georges herself. Choreographer/filmmaker Deirdre Towers will screen a short film titled Black Light, accompanied by Newman. And Mayta Fusion Dance, a brand-new ensemble experimenting with modern improvisatory approaches to flamenco, will have its premiere performance. Tickets for Cante, Baile, Toque cost $15 in advance, available online at www.hudsonvalleyflamencofestival.brownpapertickets.com, or $20 at the door. The Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival winds up on Sunday, August 12 at 2 p.m., when the Rosendale Theatre screens La Chana, Lucija Stojevic’s documentary about the return to the stage of Antonia Santiago Amador, a once-famous gitana (Roma) flamenco dancer. Festival board member Deirdre Towers was co-producer of the film. “Flamenco has been a lifelong passion for me,” says Anna. "It’s important to me that we shine a light on local artists because the Hudson Valley is home to some incredible flamenco singers, dancers and musicians.” – Frances Marion Platt

Kennedy (Catherine Oliviere). But Kayla has also crippling panic attacks that shortcircuit her ability – already constrained by age and cultural/technological context – to communicate with peers, teachers or parents. She has a sympathetic and supportive (if stereotypically dorky and tonguetied) dad (Josh Hamilton), and is not without internal resources, but they rely too heavily on the media that are the common currency of her generation. Fantasizing an alternative version of herself who is self-confident and socially acceptable, Kayla creates a life-coaching videoblog in which she dispenses the advice that she knows she needs herself, but is

incapable of actualizing. As is expected of a regular taker of selfies, she can fake some poise when the camera is pointing at her. However, she can barely string a coherent sentence together. Whether this constitutes any sort of liability within her social stratum remains unexamined, as her CLAIRVOYANT ; PSYCHIC ; MEDIUM

render this girl naturalistically in all her awkwardness. You will be rooting for her, even if she seems like something of an idiot, and most of her peers worse. (Weren’t we all idiots at that age?) Unhelpfully, the writer/director gives Kayla minimal backstory – the fact that her mother left when she was a baby comes as a very late afterthought – and doesn’t do much else to round out the character. I would have cared more about her if given a hint that there were something, anything, that mattered to her nearly as much as fitting in. If you’ve grown weary of movies with impossibly snappy, witty dialogue, especially among kids, you’ll find Eighth Grade’s realistically jerky attempts at conversation refreshing. On the other hand, you may find yourself squirming in your seat during some scenes of adolescent ignominy – particularly one in which Kayla ends up apologizing to a high school boy (Daniel Zolghadri) who has just tried to manipulate her into an unwelcome sexual encounter. Wanting to be liked can, apparently, still lead a young girl down perilous pathways, even for a generation that knows #metoo along with every other extant hashtag. Overall, Eighth Grade is too uncomfortable a viewing experience to be shelved alongside youth-nostalgia films. Don’t choose it for a night when you’re in the mood for a feel-good comedy. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t often funny; but its humor is harsh, and edgy in a way that leaves gouges in the psyche. Or maybe it’s just uncovering the scars of gouges that happened to many of us a long time ago. – Frances Marion Platt

MUSIC Bard Music Festival spotlights RimskyKorsakov

ard SummerScape’s sprawling and overstuffed summer of musical programming has reached its annual apex, the Bard Music Festival: a series of concerts, talks and performances in related arts, all orbiting the work and cultural milieu of a single great composer. This year’s subject is the pivotal Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the late-19thcentury composer of Scheherazade and an influence on countless other composers via his nationalistic voice and his technical works on orchestration. Weekend One of the Festival (August 10 through 12) focuses on the small group of composers to which Rimsky-Korsakov belonged, “Inventing Russian Music: The Mighty Five.” The weekend features an opening- night dinner (Saturday, August 10 at 5 p.m. in the Spiegeltent), five programs of music and several panel talks. Concerts include “Fashioning the Russian Sound” (Friday ,August 10, 7:30 p.m., Sosnoff Theater), “Amateurs and Professionals” (Saturday, August 11, 1:30 p.m., Olin Hall); “Music under Tsarist Autocracy” (Saturday, August 11, 8 p.m., Sosnoff Theater); “The Legacy of Pushkin” (Sunday, August 12, 10 a.m., Olin Hall); “Moscow/St. Petersburg” (Sunday, August 12, 1:30 p.m., Olin Hall); and “The Piano in Russia” (Sunday, August 12, 4:30 p.m., Sosnoff Theater.) Running alongside the thematic connected concerts is a summerlong series of film screenings at the Fisher Center, “Rimsky-Korsakov and the Poetry of Cinema,” beginning on Thursday, August 9 at 7 p.m. Russian films will be shown throughout the month, with another trio of music-related ones on Friday, August 17. See https://bit.ly/2Og55Sr for more information. In the meantime, the Spiegeltent continues its densely packed calendar of live music, cabaret, festival dining and

Events run throughout August 18 and include a Russian-themed performance by Czech avant-garde violinist, singer and composer Iva Bittová and Russian folk and jazz performer and composer Sergey Starostin on Thursday, August 16 at 8 p.m. The Bard Music Festival’s second weekend addresses “Rimsky-Korsakov and His Followers” with a full spate of concerts and talks on the weekend of August 17 through 19.

Bluegrass star Tim O’Brien at Helsinki Hudson this Friday The prolific, Grammy-winning bluegrass and roots megastar Tim O’Brien returns to Club Helsinki in Hudson on Friday, August 10 at 9 p.m. O’Brien has released 15 solo albums and has collaborated famously with his sister Mollie O’Brien, songwriter

Darrell Scott and noted old-time musician Dirk Powell. He has performed or recorded with Steve Earle, Mark K n o p fl e r, Bill Frisell, D a v i d Bromberg, Jerry Douglas, Andy Statman and Steve Martin, to name a few. O’Brien’s newest release, Where the River Meets the Road, augments his originals with covers of songwriters Hazel Dickens, Billy Edd Wheeler and Bill Withers. Tickets cost $30 in advance, $35 on the day of the show. For tickets and additional information, visit www.helsinkihudson. com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Air Supply plays UPAC in Kingston this Friday In 2010, the prevailing Australian kings of soft rock Air Supply released their most recent collection of new songs, Mumbo Jumbo. A surprisingly arty and electronic/symphonic effort somewhat reminiscent of the formal experimental pop of 10cc, with a nod to Jim Steinman’s micro-operatic mode, Mumbo Jumbo would probably challenge your sense of what Air Supply is all about. When Air Supply brings their catalogue of soaring hits to the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Friday, August 10, the smart money says that Mumbo Jumbo will not be amply represented in their set; in fact, zero would be your safest bet. But I like the model, and I see it a

lot. Bands yoked in concert to their unfortunately large body of hits keep themselves interested with ambitious new compositions and recordings, knowing that the likelihood of any of the new songs cracking the live set is slim. Since we live in the post-sales era of music, there is little other incentive for new recordings. Lavish

Trombone Shorty’s Voodoo Threauxdown at Bethel Woods

s the preeminently musical city of New Orleans celebrates its tricentennial, the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts gets in on the action with Trombone Shorty’s Voodoo Threauxdown on Saturday, August 11. Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews exemplifies the city’s polyglot musical spirit. He is one of the most recent and most popular ambassadors of New Orleans’ complex musical heritage of jazz, blues, Cajun, funk and more. He is hardly alone on this bill, however. Also performing will be the popular funk/jam band Galactic, the great Preservation Hall Jazz Band and at least two people with the last name Neville, for legitimacy. The show begins at 7 p.m. Ticket prices for this Pavilion-only (no Lawn) show range from $49.95 to $90.95. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

MARY FRANK LOOKS AT THE WORLD WITHOUT BLINKING

“Refuge” solo show opens on Saturday at Elena Zang Gallery in Shady

ary Frank describes the subject matter of her latest body of her work, much of it exhibited at a new show at Elena Zang Gallery titled “Refuge,” as about “evolution and deevolution. For me, everything is about returning to origins.” We are standing amid the organized chaos of her large, skylit Bearsville studio, in which multiple works seem to be evolving and devolving on the floor, tabletops, wall, shelves and even in a water-filled glass fishbowl, where a stone with a painted black figure has been submerged. For nearly a decade, Frank has been staging groupings of objects, using her own previously created artworks, to create collagelike tableaux that she captures in the lens of her carefully positioned camera. Many of the photographs (the gallery refers to them as “archival pigmented prints”) have been collected in a new book,

Pilgrimage, which features a prologue by art critic John Yau and a poem by Terry Tempest Williams; Frank will be signing copies of the book at the opening at Elena Zang Gallery on Saturday, August 11. In her photographs, she juxtaposes a clay or wax figure or head, drawing, cutout paper silhouette or painting – on paper, on a stone, or the wood floor of her studio, which serves as the backdrop for many of the images – with burnt pieces of wood, stones, leaves, flowers, twigs or other elements from her garden. The fishbowl, positioned against a window where it can catch the light, is one of the transformative elements in this play: In one photograph, a half-submerged clay figure appears to be drowning, arms raised as if in a prayerful appeal or ecstatic dance – the ambiguity of Frank’s narratives, which tend to ask questions, rather than provide answers, enhances the sense of mythic powers and mystery at play – while in another, a cutout silhouette of a figure in a red piece of paper, placed in front of the bowl, becomes a luminous dancing form in which the submerged flower stems and delicate white spindly roots in the bowl suggest the veins and organs of a spirit-creature. The images meld figure and landscape, suggesting a narrative of elemental struggle, archetypal quest or dreamlike vision.

“Refuge,” which runs from August 11 through September 4, includes recent photographs as well as ones dating back to 2009, plus several sculptures (in addition, in the gallery’s garden, several of her bronze sculptures from the 1980s are on permanent d i s p l ay ) . T h e artist, who was born in London in 1933 and grew up in Greenwich V i l l a g e , fi r s t a c h i e v e d recognition back in the 1950s for her carved wooden sculptures, which were inspired by ancient Egyptian art. Her archetypal n u d e fi g u r e s , falling, climbing, crouching, leaping, striding or otherwise shown in action, as well as her contemplative and reclining figures – one body of work consists of life-sized bronze recumbent figures comprised of separate pieces, suggesting dismemberment and death as well as life-gathering energies – seem culled from the language of ancient art

and myth, though their spatial distortions and displacements, simplicity of means and raw materiality speak to our own time. Much of the power of Frank’s art, which has been widely celebrated in books and a film, stems from her inventive use of materials and startling compositional arrangements, in which opposites – such as near and far, body and void, flatness and three-dimensional form, release and confinement – are played off each other, creating striking visual patterns and suggesting inner states of consciousness that transcend the limits of time, gravity and death. The new work in particular conveys the vulnerability of those on the move: a theme of timely import, given the refugee crisis in Europe and the depredations suffered by immigrants under the Trump

“Mary Frank brings us the news that has always been real and true: the indomitable will to survive, while believing that there is more to life than the struggle to stay alive,” writes John Yau.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Aug. 9, 2018 administration. In one photograph, the clay head of a woman is attached to a mast, fashioned from a branch, above the painted flat prow of a boat, which is sinking beneath strokes of white paint signifying waves. Is the figurehead a benevolent force signaling hope and rescue, or is she a doomed, sacrificial figure, fated to go down with the ship? In the piece When They Could, a group of black silhouetted figures gesticulating desperately for survival as their small boat is subsumed by a surging sea are painted on a rock that’s placed atop a painting of a large figure, outlined in a ghoulish bluegreen surrounded by a circle of sienna. The difference in scale and dimension between the small figures painted on the stone and the large silhouette beneath it exaggerates their sense of helplessness and isolation and suggests their demise at the hand of an oppressor; or perhaps the large figure simply signifies the world’s indifference. The agonized expression of the female clay head, shot against a black background, in I Hadn’t Known is reminiscent of the plight of immigrant parents whose children were recently taken from them by the US government. In another photograph, an owl, a symbol of wisdom in ancient Greece, flies through charred ruins constructed of pieces of burnt wood, against a lifeless landscape of stone and a heavy blue painted sky: a vision or portent of evil things to come. The owl in flight appears again, painted against a splash of white on a large brown fungus, comprising one of two sculptures from the series in the show; a threedimensional stick figure, positioned on a small stand, whose proportions suggest starvation, strides before the brownish sky suggested by the side of the mushroom and turns its head towards the owl, which seems to swoop down in warning. In the other sculpture – a freestanding tableau constructed of clay figures, burnt wood, stones and two backdrops of pastel-drawn scenes – the terrible event has already happened. In the postapocalyptic scene, a small figure huddles amid burned ruins before a pastel drawing of a mountainous landscape with a monumental arch on fire; a mysterious robed figure, holding a child, is poised against the sky, before the painted fragments of a maze, perhaps symbolizing civilization (and its traps). Through war and folly, the end of civilization will pivot back to its Stone Age beginnings, the piece suggests. In Occurrence, a photograph of a small sculpture of a stag-headed figure in a flowing striped black-and-white robe stands against an atmospheric backdrop in which is painted a mysterious symbol, a hieroglyph depicted in twisted tubular strands of white and rust, which seems to emerge out of a distant painted labyrinth, framed in black. The seerlike figure, poised on its celestial stage, seems to exist outside the physics of time and space, respectively represented by the intertwined tubes, which suggests an unraveling knot of roads and passages as much as a mysterious sign, and the mazelike structure. The actual space occupied by the figure, which is narrow and intimate, like a stage, fuses with the painted, illusionistic space of the backdrop, as if the enactments of ritual could be made concrete and the material and metaphysical fused. The photographic truth of the image further contributes to this dizzying conflation of literal and spiritual, channeling to us moderns a

She looks at the world without blinking or turning away, and to be her readers we must follow her, wherever she takes us, as well as reflect upon what she is telling us, in images as sharp as the stones she has gathered, and tender as the hands that collected them.” – Lynn Woods “Mary Frank: Refuge” opening reception/ book-signing, Saturday, August 11, 2-5 p.m., through September 3, daily 11 a.m.5 p.m., Elena Zang Gallery, 3671 Route 212, Shady; (845) 679-5432, ezang@ hvc.rr.com, www.elenazang.com.

An eye for activism Linda Weintraub curates new exhibition on “The Aesthetics of Persuasion” in Woodstock, while her book on Eco Materialism helps hatch Unison show “What’s Next?” With her 2013 book, To Life: Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet, Linda Weintraub defined and gave voice to a movement spanning continents, whose disparate approaches and media, ranging from tissue cultures, microbes and soil to meteorological instruments, wastewater treatment plants and meetings with municipal workers, represented artists’ moral reckoning with global ecological threats. Now she is following up that work with a second book, What’s Next: Eco Materialism & Contemporary Art, which has already hatched an exhibition. “What’s Next?” which opened in July and consists of works by 33 artists at Unison Arts’ sculpture garden, came about as a collaborative project between SUNY-New Paltz visiting lecturer and artist Michael Asbill and his students, working as a curatorial team. The team used a text from Weintraub, summing up the theme of her new book and reflecting on the context, definition and value of what she calls Eco Materialism as the

organizing principle of the show. True to Eco Materialism’s grounding in natural processes, the installations and sculptures will remain in place for a year, exposed to wind, rain, snow, ice and sunlight. Their gradual dissolution by these forces – a heavy rainstorm prior to the opening had caused the large sheets of hand-cast paper, suspended in a framework of salvaged wooden beams with the sharp, expressive angles of a Franz Kline, to sag in Sam Horowitz’s piece, as the artist noted with delight at the opening – over a year is part and parcel of their purpose in being reclaimed by the Earth. They include Maxine Leu’s large-scale Cocoon, nestled in a tree and woven of grasses grown on the grounds of New Paltz High School and from a straw mat; Christina Nalty’s Animal Trails, a row of sticks of varying height suggesting a wandering path in the woods; Stuart Bigley, Harold McBride and Stephen Spencer’s clipped mulberry branch, which happened to fall onto metal tubs atop a raku kiln and was subsequently trimmed by the team to create a semblance of symmetry; Jebah Baum’s Ashwood Reliquary, hand-sawn ash logs, harvested from trees downed by the emerald ash borer, stacked to form a palletlike structure (thereby recycling the wood while referencing the source of the pest from overseas shipping pallets); Bill Ryback’s Sankofa Memo, a geodesicdome framework constructed of bent branches; and Zachary Skinner’s Bush Hut Rainwater Farm, a house of straw, part-wildlife blind, part-meditation space, that channels rainwater down to a perimeter of native plants. The show demonstrated a somewhat flexible interpretation of Eco Materialism, with one piece salvaging plastic waste and another geared toward enhancing one’s sensory awareness of nature. Couch is constructed of plastic bottles fitted into a rustic-wood framework, by Cassandra Saulter and Ian Kingsley, and Alexis Elton’s Journey to Asclepeion is a kind of mini-lab in which visitors could sample tubes of hydrosols, aromatic waters whose vapors capture the scents of various harvested wild plants. Some pieces incorporate historical references, such as Joann Alvis and Tasha Depp’s Garderobe, two stone-lined pits that recreate the latrines once accompanying medieval castles and reference the use of human

excrement as fertilizer on farm fields; Iain Machell’s bluestone slabs inscribed by the artist with the names of Ulster County’s former bluestone quarries; Ilse SchreiberHoll’s logs, harvested from fallen trees, bearing texts of meditations on trees from Thoreau, Whitman and other poets and writers; and Claudia McNulty’s Hemp for Victory, in which the word “hemp” is spelled out in bales of an ecological material once widely used by US farmers and manufacturers. T h e enormous nestlike form of Halcyon, suspended high above the ground by cables and home to several white ceramic birdlike sculptures positioned as if they were singing, refers to an ancient mythical bird that brought peace and calm to nature and was designed by Jan Harrison and Alan Baer as a place of refuge and rebirth in a world tottering on mass extinctions.

Emily Puthoff, Elena Sniezek and Jennifer Woodin displayed SolitaryBee/Multispecies Pollinator Commons, an installation consisting of a group of carefully arranged and multilevel sawed, hollowed-out logs, some filled with hives, designed as both a habitat for solitary bees and an aesthetic artwork. Perhaps the most radical exemplifier of Eco Materialism was Microbial Origin of Connections, a piece by Mary Anne Davis, Kate Farrington and Patricia Tinajero in which human saliva was being collected (visitors were invited to spit) in a series of clay pots containing various local fibers in order to hasten the fermentation of the fibers into pulp. The pots will be buried and then dug up and their paper-pulp contents collected by the team both in the fall and following spring. The resulting pulp will be made into paper – on which stories will be written by a community workshop, according to the artists.

eintraub herself embraces an ecofriendly lifestyle: She lives with her husband on 11 acres of woods and fields outside Red Hook, off the grid. The couple cultivate a vegetable garden and orchard, keep beehives and tap their maple trees in the early spring. However, while eco art is her passion, her curatorial engagements extend into many other genres. This month she is also curating a show at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, in Woodstock, titled “The Aesthetics of Persuasion: Graphic Visualizations of Entreaties & Warnings by Artists, Designers & Neighbors,” which assembles more than 140 images used to promote a particular message. They include posters from World Wars I and II and from the WPA, as well as football logos and traffic signs – examples showing how artists and designers deploy color, form and composition as powerful tools to register certain emotional states. The exhibition runs from August 10 until October 14, and there will be an opening reception on Saturday, August 11, from 4 to 6 p.m. After that Weintraub is participating in a group exhibition, titled “Spectrum,” at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, the home of the early-19th-century artist

who founded the Hudson River School, in Catskill, which begins August 14 (with an opening party on August 25). The exhibition celebrates Cole’s thinking about color and explores how artists today work with color, both in terms of how it affects the senses and relates to the natural world. Weintraub’s piece consists of 30 jars of brightly colored preserves harvested from her garden. Collectively, Weintraub’s current projects hint at the impressive range and comprehensiveness of her career as a scholar, writer, curator and artist. Born and raised in the gritty industrial city of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Weintraub earned an MFA at Rutgers University and was hired as the first director of Bard College’s Edith C. Blum Art Institute in 1982. She has curated nearly 70 exhibitions, lectured on contemporary art throughout the US, published several books on contemporary art and was the Henry Luce Professor of Emerging Arts at Oberlin College. Currently she teaches at the Nomad9 MFA program at the University of

Hartford. The program, now its third year, integrates environmental influences into its arts curriculum. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently caught up with the author, curator and artist. What prompted your interest in eco art? I have always dealt with avant-garde art. Since contemporary art is often baffling, even for people within the art field, my professional niche is to serve as a liaison between emerging artforms and the general public, museumgoers and students of art. I focus particularly on artists who disrupt expectations regarding established criteria of artistic merit. Since new vanguards emerge in quick succession, my career choice has allowed me to track several generations of art pioneers and offer explanations for their various forms of innovation. In each and every instance, what has seemed outlandish becomes comprehensible by noting that each new development mirrored the issues that were key to that era.

That is why, when I became personally involved with environmental issues, I thought, “I bet there are artists out there altering the norms of art in response to escalating environmental concerns.” So I sniffed around the fringes of the art scene, which is often where new developments first appear. What did I discover? Not dozens, but hundreds of artists, distributed around the globe, who were not merely addressing environmental concerns, but altering their art practices in order to accommodate these concerns. When I reached out to them, I heard over and over again that they felt they were working in an isolated way. They were not aware that they were forging a new art movement. I wrote To Life: Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet in a state of exuberance. I filled its pages with examples of artists who were reclaiming their role as visionaries and problemsolvers, getting out there in the trenches, ignoring the conventions of art in order to communicate a brand-new sensibility and new set of problems posed by the litany of

One of the works on view at Storm King is Birds Watching by Jenny Kendler, current artist-in-residence with the Natural Resources Defense Council. It’s a site-specific installation of 100 reflective aluminum signs, each depicting a large scaled, realistic bird’s eye. Each represents a species of bird facing the threat of extinction due to climate change. The birds are watching us humans, it seems to say, to find out what we’re going to do about it.

DAY OF THE BIRD THIS SUNDAY AT STORM KING ART CENTER

his summer, the Storm King Art Center is hosting an exhibition called “Indicators: Artists on Climate Change.” One of the thought-provoking works on view is Birds Watching by Jenny Kendler, current artist-in-residence with the Natural Resources Defense Council. It’s a site-specific installation of 100 reflective aluminum signs, each depicting a large scaled, realistic bird’s eye. Each represents a species of bird facing the threat of extinction due to climate change. The birds are watching us humans, it seems to say, to find out what we’re going to do about it. This Sunday, August 12, has been designated the Day of the Bird at Storm King, and it begins with the more familiar, less unsettling dynamic of humans watching birds. Eric Lind, director of the Constitution Marsh Audubon Center, will lead a bird tour at 8 a.m. Preregister at s.winston@stormkingartcenter.org. At 10:15 a.m., Kendler and fellow artist George Boorujy will conduct a drawing workshop titled “Avian Encounters: Retuning the Eye through the Hand,” which also requires preregistration. The artists’ model – posing nude but for feathers – will be a falcon brought in by master falconer Leigh Foster, who will be present from noon to 4:30 p.m. to introduce visitors to this magnificent bird. Afternoon activities will also include a panel discussion on “Art & Avian Advocacy” featuring Kendler, Boorujy and Natural Resources Defense Council managing director Andrew Wetzler, moderated by Storm King senior curator Nora Lawrence; and a reading and book-signing by naturalist Dr. J. Drew Lanham, author of The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature. The Day of the Bird wraps up with a live performance by Sandbox Percussion, an ensemble of five percussionists and two piccoloists, of John Luther Adams’ composition songbirdsongs. All programs in this special event are free with Storm King admission: $18 for adults, $15 for seniors (65+), $ 8 for ages 5 to 18 and students and free for children aged 4 and Art Center members. The Storm King Art Center is located at 1 Museum Road in New Windsor. For more info on the Day of the Bird and other museum offerings, visit https://stormking.org.

current environmental woes. The book was published in 2013. Has its message gotten out there in the way you hoped? To Life is the first eco art college textbook. It was written to help professors integrate environmental consciousness into the art curriculum. When I began to tackle the engagement of artists with environmentalism, I became aware of how vast and complex this subject is, how many artistic approaches were being introduced and how difficult it would be for an instructor to present this material without having a book that identified the key issues and organized them into a coherent narrative. The book is selling well, but it has not yet fulfilled its ultimate goal: for art departments to integrate an ecological conscience into their entire curriculum, including graphic design, painting, sculpture and metallurgy departments. We are living in an era that’s being transformed by technology. For example, 3-D printing is revolutionizing the practice of architects, designers and other professionals and is changing the process of industrial design and manufacturing. Is eco art anti-technology? Eco artists, by simply being mindful of their use of technology, are introducing a radically new mindset – one that may lead to a reevaluation of current dependencies.

Anybody who’s working with technology without considering the environmental consequences of that behavior is perpetuating the existing system of values and behaviors that have contributed to today’s environmental crisis. This book presents the artist Markus Kayser as an example of an artist who is concerned about the environmental impact of 3-D printing. He identified two ways this new technology exacerbates environmental problems: It uses an exorbitant amount of electricity, and it typically utilizes resin, which is a contaminating material. As his art practice, he developed a strategy to reconfigure 3-D printing without such harmful environmental impacts by concentrating solar energy through a lens so it gets super-hot and then directing the heat of the sun onto desert sand, a material which is abundant and underutilized. He melts the sand to create a 3-D solid enduring form. Kayser’s innovation was expanded by a group of artists, based in China, who have envisioned how to print building components on location in deserts utilizing a source of infinite energy and a neglected resource to create metropolises in the desert. Their vision involves providing shelter for dislocated populations, due to climate change, in coming years. In their project, called “Sand Babble,” the group is working out the practical challenges of how to cool the air and

how to utilize cactus to get water. They demonstrate that eco-material art is not a matter of being playful with bark and pinecones, nor assembling sculptures out of litter. It’s reconnecting with the material world to suspend behaviors that are depleting and polluting and introduce those that are beneficial and/or remedial. I talk to my students about what we are now utilizing to sustain an individual life compared to what was done prior to our dependence on fossil fuels. Imagine if you were still responsible for gathering and managing the fuel you required to make yourself comfortable and safe and provide for your needs. Such eco-material awareness is needed to assess current lifestyles. What led to your second book on this topic, What’s Next? As I became increasingly involved

with exploring what a piece of land could provide as a resource for building and eating and having a delightful life, I discovered the absolute rapture and joy of working with materials that are not mass-produced and predictable and coming out of industrial production. I felt half-embarrassed by the lifestyle I developed, in which I dealt directly with plants and soil and fur and bone and scales and feathers and all these lichens and moss. Then I started discovering examples [of these materials] in the work of other artists. It became apparent that the fringes of art were now occupied by artists reveling in the material world and the sensuality of those interactions. Like me, they were celebrating how deeply rewarding that kind of interaction is. I decided to do a new book about their explorations of materiality when I was introduced to an intellectual movement sweeping a variety of disciplines across the globe. It is called New Materialism. The bibliography at the end of my book provides evidence that New Materialism is being adopted by many disciplines, such as social studies, archaeology, psychology and theology. Scholars in all these different fields are feeling a compulsion to reconnect with materials of the planet. Almost nothing had yet been written about the relationship between New Materialism and art, even though we artists are dealing intimately with materiality. I assembled about 35 artists from around the globe who are working this way. But the book is not just 35 examples of artists who are doing work with odd media. One chapter asks, “What does creativity look like from an eco-materialart point of view?” Another, “What does technology look like? How did tools change when people start interacting with material things from an eco point of view?” The book identifies these areas that define human interactions with the material environment, and then presents stunning examples of art [to illustrate] them. It’s been an exciting adventure. Do these eco-artists represent a complete break from the past? Is there a connection to art in the art-historical canon?

One artist who illustrates what kind of change is implied by Eco Materialism and how we have to change the way art has conventionally been made and appreciated, and start all over again, is Pierre Huyghe. He’s taken Monet’s renowned series of paintings of ponds and done something interesting: Instead of making a representation of the surface of the pond as it appears to the human eye, like Monet, he went to [Monet’s former estate] Giverny and got a sample of the actual water and plants and aquatic creatures in the pond. He then displayed the samples in aquariums in a gallery, so that what we see, instead of the surface appearance of the pond, is the actual aquatic system, filled with living specimens from the pond conducting their life processes. How does the “What’s Next?” exhibition at Unison fulfill certain requirements of New Materialism and eco-art? Eco Material ways of interacting with the material environment change the way humans measure success. The Eco Material form of success is not pleasing human viewers; it is measured in terms of revitalizing an ecosystem. Every one of the installations at Unison – an exhibition curated by professor Michael Asbill with students from SUNY-New Paltz – will gradually decompose in response to active environmental factors. This dynamic component is welcomed by the artists. Whereas conventional artforms consume resources and deplete ecosystems, Eco Material artworks make positive contributions by making the land more fertile and revitalizing it. Michael and I plan to have a series of photographs taken of the pieces over the next year. What we saw at the opening will look nothing like what it will be in two months. But what the artists are making is enduring, in terms of how their work will benefit the ecosystem and wildlife. So you were pleased by the results. I’m thrilled beyond belief! How rewarding is it for a book not yet published to already have inspired 33 artists? In the intro to my new book, I explain that anything made out of wood or straw or manure or leather is reactive to weather, the seasons, temperature, moisture et cetera. When this occurs, it’s not like the art is being destroyed. Instead, it becomes a part of the ongoing dynamic of the ecosystem. This is the artists’ way of saying, “Stop thinking of ourselves as humans. We are an ecosystem, and what we do affects everything around us. We’re not isolated creatures; the materialism has to do with the materiality of our own bodies and our own actions.” The piece that invited visitors to spit, thereby contributing living microbes to the process of fermentation, acknowledges that we have these microbes in us and we can utilize them. In the introduction to your book, you write this: “Eco material attention to the world of solids, liquids, plasmas and gases may originate in such neglected substances as sap, fur, bone, soil, stone, bark and moss,

Keith Haring, Silence=Death, 1989 is on view at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in Woodstock as part of the exhibition “The Aesthetics of Persuasion: Graphic Visualizations of Entreaties & Warnings by Artists, Designers & Neighbors,” which will have an opening reception this Saturday, August 11, from 4 to 6 p.m.

as well as such familiar materials as GoreTex, AstroTurf, lubricating oil, plastic and Doritos.” One of the pieces in the show utilized plastic disposal bottles. So I assume part of the goal is conveying a message and raising awareness about environmental degradation, rather than a purist aesthetic predicated only on natural materials? An Eco Materialist will pick up a plastic fork and think about the materials gathered from dispersed places around the globe to make it, about where the fuel came from to melt and merge its materials, how the mold was made, the materiality of the packaging and the assemblage of materials across the globe that now cost mere pennies to acquire. For the most part, they would not use a material in their work if they deem it damaging. However, they might include a plastic fork if it helps viewers recognize its environmental impact. It’s not just a matter of being playful; it’s rethinking human interactions in the world that pervade everything. Tell us more about the show you are curating at the Kleinert. I made the acquaintance of Adrienne Klein, who had an international collection of AIDS posters, which were fascinating but not sufficient for a whole show. In thinking about how we could utilize these posters for a compelling exhibition, I decided to focus not on the content of the art, but the strategy employed by the artists to convey this content. I started to gather images whose intention was predetermined and recognizable, including WPA posters advertising the national parks, delightful lithographs by Honore Daumier that are political satires and tiny tantric paintings, which are like icons. I also included football logos, which graphically are so interesting, and signs that say “No Walking,” “No Firearms,” “No Crossing.” I compare these to the means by which artists convey positive things, in words like “Yippee!” “Hurray!” and “Yay!” There are principles of aesthetic design and form that pervade these different kinds of images. I wrote a 40-page visitors’ guide to provide a brief analysis of individual items and the aesthetic principles they employ. For example, I’ve included a collection of World War I and II posters that evoke fear, while another series evokes patriotism. Then I compare how each group of images communicates these

contrasting messages. I’m really curious to see the public’s response. It’s not a typical exhibition, in that a lot of exhibited works are in the public domain and printed off the Internet. The exhibition also includes a communal artwork. Tell us about that. The communal artwork is entitled What’s Next for Life on Earth? and is a major part of the show. I designed a way for people to register whether they are optimistic that species will survive or pessimistic and think extinctions will increase. They are invited to express their opinions graphically, using the principles outlined in the exhibition. Each person chooses a piece of paper with lines indicating either optimism or pessimism as abstractions. The pages will then be hung on the wall to create a large mural. I’m hoping lots of people will contribute, so we get a sense of the eco mindset of the community. To get people engaged with the concept, at the opening we’ll have a big bowl of multicolored lollipops so that people can choose the color that reflects their mood. We’ll also have a few contemporary artists represented, such as the Critical Art Ensemble, a collective of art activists who contributed posters that present raw statistics of different kinds of deaths and the culture’s response to it. For example, many vets commit suicide, and with little response; but if one child sucks on a toy and chokes, a whole industry changes. Tim Gaudreau will be represented by his series of posters of Woodstock and its environment. One set is called Lost Posters and the other is called Found Posters. The Found Posters consist of beautifully photographed bits of litter. The poster might say, “Looks like a fetish object. If you wish to reclaim this valuable object, ‘Please call me.’” The Lost project refers to a forest that has been replaced by a parking lot. The posters are in the exhibition and put up all over Woodstock. Later in the month, you are exhibiting a shelf of preserves you made in the “Spectrum” exhibition at the Cole House. What is this about? This installation is a contemporary interpretation of Thomas Cole’s analysis of color. My contribution consists of foods I have grown and canned. The jars are arranged according to the color gradations,

which is why it is titled Let Us Eat the Colors of Nature’s Spectrum. The Cole House installation will feature 30 jars presented as an opportunity to appreciate color, not in terms of a surface that represents the taste of the artist or designer; these colors originate in life processes, metabolism, sunshine and rain. They offer evidence of life having happened across the spectrum: Yellows consist of corn and squash, oranges of carrots, reds of tomatoes. There will be a community potluck to actually “let us eat the colors of nature’s spectrum.” When will your new book be available? The book should be out by the end of this month. It’s published by Intellect Books and distributed by the University of Chicago Press and is available on both websites. It will be published to respect the principles of Eco Materialism: It will be sold as a 310-page volume, or people can buy one chapter at a time. It will be entirely printed on demand. The publisher is paying a lot of attention to the inks being used, and transportation will be reduced because it will be printed locally. I would like to start a revolution in publishing as well as art. It will be possible for a professor to get the text and print ten or 20 copies on campus.

Kay Kenny, Saugerties artist and longtime teacher at New York University and International Center of Photography, refers to herself as a rural night photographer. With only the stars and moon for ambient light, she employs ﬂashlights, car headlights and improvised devices to create the other worldliness of her photographed scenes. Her work (shown above and below), as well as the work of 44 other artists, can be seen on this weekend's Saugerties Artist Studio Tour.

Saugerties Artist Studio Tour Take a peek at 45 artists in their creative spaces this weekend

he first Saugerties Artist Studio Tour was in 2002, with just 11 artists participating and very modest expectations, says tour coordinator Barbara Bravo. This year’s tour, the 16th annual, will feature 45 artists, making this the biggest tour yet. Studios will open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday, August 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The event is free of charge and self-guided, with no registration necessary. One has only to pick up a map (or print one out online) and chart a course, covering as many or as few studios as desired. But with so many artists participating in the tour, how does one make the decision where to start? There’s always the event website, of course, and it’s a good one, with plenty of images and videos to get a feel for what it’s all about, and a feature that allows searching by artist or media. But there’s also the opening-night reception on Friday, August 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Opus 40. Each of the tour artists will have one work on display, and most will be in attendance to mingle and talk about their work. Several hundred attendees are expected at the reception, which is free and open to all. Refreshments are included, and the regular admission fee to Opus 40 that evening is waived. Free full-color maps showing studio locations are available at many village businesses, at the Saugerties Tourism

Kiosk opposite the Thruway (Exit 20) and at the Saugerties Chamber of Commerce Visitors’ Center, just off Partition Street at the entrance to the municipal parking lot. The artists on the tour represent a wide range of styles and techniques. Visitors to the studios will find drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography, along with collage work, mixed-media pieces, digital and video art. In the mix will be wearable art and jewelry, pottery and ceramics and fine furnituremaking. This year’s roster of artists includes Isaac Abrams, Tara Bach, Anita Barbour, Kristy Bishop, Sharon Broit, Jean Campbell, Vinny Curry, Shelley D av i s , S u s a n D o u g h e r t y, David Brown, Michael Ciccone, Josepha Gutelius, Mikhail Horowitz, Marsha KaufmanRubinstein, Kay Kenny, Barbara Tepper Levy, Yvette Lewis, Ulf Loven, Brian Lynch, Iain Machell, Marjorie Magid, Elin Menzies, Ann Morris, Grey Morris, Hugh Morris, Michael Nelson, Gus Pedersen, Carolyn Oberst, Bill Reinhart, Joan Reinmuth, Tad Richards, Istar Schwager, Robert Sherman, Michael Sullivan Smith, Viorica Stan, Raymond J. Steiner, Marck Webster, Joshua Stern, Ben Suga, Robert Troxel, Jeff Way, Lorrie and Michael Wardell, Carol Zaloom and Barbara Bravo. Bravo’s work in clay has evolved over the years from traditional forms such as teapots and bowls to sculpted imagery

“The new artists, in particular, have expressed their attraction to the artists’ community in Saugerties, and the tour has played a major role in developing that community.”

NIGHT SKY

Best meteors in years? It’s all due to a backwards comet

he summer’s best sky show is happening this weekend: the famous Perseid meteors. This year, conditions couldn’t be better. There’s a New Moon this weekend, and skies will be ideally black. The shower peaks on two nights, Saturday and again Sunday night – with some experts thinking that Sunday could be the optimum time. All we need are mostly clear skies and, to be perfect, a night when the air is dry and not too hazy and humid. Shooting stars were once regarded as strictly atmospheric phenomena, which is why we still call weather experts “meteorologists.” But meteors are swarms of comet debris, each the size of an appleseed, orbiting the Sun in the same path as the original comet. In this case the comet is Swift-Tuttle, a big monster discovered during the Civil War, which orbits the Sun backwards. We meet that comet every 133 years, and sometimes it’s an unnervingly close encounter. Computer simulations show that we’re safe for the next half-millennium. But if it ever hits us, it will make the K-T (now called K-Pg) dinosaur extinction seem Little League by comparison. Thanks to its large size and unusually fast speed, Comet Swift-Tuttle is the most hazardous object in the universe, so far as earthly life is concerned. When Earth annually meets the backwards swarm of material that sloughed off the comet, the collisions happen at the same unusual speed of 37 miles per second. And, although meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, they all seem to emanate from a single spot: a common point called the radiant, which in this case lies within the constellation of Perseus. Perseus rises around 10:30 p.m. So before then, the meteors all streak upward from the radiant point, which is then below the northeast horizon. But after 11 p.m. or midnight,

on tiles. Her current focus is on creating abstracted landscapes in painted paper collage. And as coordinator of the Saugerties Artist Studio Tour since its inception, Bravo has seen a similar evolution in the tour over the years. “It has grown yearly, and we’re seeing continued growth in artists’ interest in the tour,” she notes. “The new artists, in particular, have expressed their attraction to the artists’ community in Saugerties, and the tour has played a major role in developing that community. It has enabled artists to showcase their work at their private studios, where art ‘happens,’ and to develop a following.” Visitors get to see new work and worksin-progress, as well as completed work, at each studio. “The best part might be the conversations that organically arise when visitor and artist meet,” Bravo adds. The tour is made possible by the sponsorship of local businesses and organizations that include the Kiwanis Club of Saugerties, the Town of Saugerties, WKZE 98 radio and several grants, including a project grant from the Decentralization program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts and the Ulster County Cultural Services and Promotion Fund, both administered by Arts Mid-Hudson. – Sharyn Flanagan Saugerties Artist Studio Tour, reception, Friday, August 10, 5-7 p.m., free, Gallery at Opus 40, 50 Fite Road, Saugerties; tour, Saturday/Sunday, August 11/12, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., free, throughout Town of Saugerties; http://saugertiesarttour.org.

they streak away from the northeast heading right, left or upward, and hence there’s more of them. After 2 a.m., Perseus is so high up that you can see shooting stars going up, left, downward or rightward, so that’s when you see the most. Once in a while you’ll see one that goes in a different direction from all the Perseids. Such sporadics make up about ten percent of each hour’s meteor inventory. They’re strays, slamming into our atmosphere from arbitrary directions. If all this sounds intriguing (and of course it does!), just turn out all the house lights and lie on a blanket or lawn chair facing a large opening to the sky. As I’ve done since the 1980s, I’ll be holding the annual Night of the Shooting Stars program at the Mohonk Mountain House at a dark, secluded soccer field where staff members bring towels to lie on. I’d love to see you there. But, to be honest, your own back lawn will work just fine. This should be our best meteor shower since 2003 – if the weather cooperates. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Pfälzerbräu New Paltz Brewing Company hosts summer ale release party this Saturday at its German-style brewery in Wawarsing “Both my parents come from Germany,” says Heiko Giesberg, cofounder with his brother Jeffrey of Pfalzerbrau: the New Paltz Brewing Company. “I learned about German beer from our parents. In the early ’90s there wasn’t such a big selection of beers, but my parents were fond of bringing German beers home. We always had it around the house. I had a fascination for the pilsners and the hefeweizens. But as I got into homebrewing, I learned about other rare styles – like kellerbier, for example: an extremely rare early Franconian recipe with overtones of citrus, with fresh taste and amber in color. And after taking trips to Bamburg, where they make smoked rauch beers, I was interested in bringing these styles here and teaching our customers about them.” The brothers started brewing beers commercially in Ulster Park as a small farmstand brewery, doing 12-gallon batches. They looked at a larger property in New Paltz (“That’s how we got our name”), but the zoning regulations there did not work out for their operation. After a couple of years, they opened shop in the current facility in Wawarsing, where the Giesbergs can produce up to ten 31-gallon barrels every week. “That’s why we’re closed Monday through Wednesday. We brew on our closed days;

we’re here all the time. Last Wednesday, brewing started at 4 in the morning.” Now in operation for the second year, the New Paltz Brewing Company remains a small family-run business. Heiko is on the job full-time, and so far they haven’t hired another hand to help with the brewing, which takes place in the garage-sized space behind the tasting room. There is outdoor seating, with a side patio where grilling and food prep takes place. Along with some tables inside, customers can sit at a counter and watch Heiko’s expert pouring methods as he pulls from a selection of a halfdozen handcrafted beers. It’s an art, he explains, tapping just the right amount

of foam to give a cup a nice head while making sure customers aren’t waiting too long. “Traditionally, we like to leverage off the carbonation of the yeast. When customers are standing in line as we fill up growlers, they don’t have the patience that they do in Germany to wait for a glass as it fills up with foam. We’ll ask, ‘Do you want it traditional-style pour with foam on top?’ For some, that’s why they come here.” I ask about the distinction between a brewery – which is what the Giesbergs call their business – and a brewpub. “The distinction is: Where is our focus? We’re not focused on making the perfect burger. It’s really the beer. We want our people to have that experience. We have outsourced the food: gives us more time

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Nature’s red carpet The unexpected beauty of finding fire-engine-red blossoms in the wild

addling down a creek – Black Creek – yesterday evening, I was again awed at Mother Nature’s skillful hand with plants. The narrow channel through high grasses bordered along the water’s edge was pretty enough. The visual transition from spiky grasses to the placid water surface was softened by pickerelweeds’ (Pontederia cordata) wider foliage, up through which rose stalks of blue flowers. Where the channel broadened, flat green pads of yellow water lotus (Nelumbo lutea) floated on the surface. Night’s approach closed the blossoms, held above the pads on halffoot-high stalks, but the flowers’ butteryyellow petals still managed to peek out. Soon I came upon the real show, as far as I was concerned: fire-engine-red blossoms of cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis). Coming upon this flower in the wild is startling. Such a red flower in such shade? So many shade plants bear white flowers, which, after all, are most easily seen in reduced light. Only twice before had I come upon cardinal flower in the wild, and both times the blooming plant was in deep, deep shade; it was a rare treat to see such a lively color in the shade. Though the streambank was not in deep shade, the cardinal flower was still a treat – and not just one cardinal flower, but groups of them here and there along the way, more than I have ever seen in the wild. (In Chanticleer Garden outside Philadelphia is a wet meadow planted thickly with cardinal flowers.)

Only twice before had I come upon cardinal ﬂower in the wild, and both times the blooming plant was in deep, deep shade; it was a rare treat to see such a lively color in the shade.

Two other landscape vignettes come quickly to mind when I marvel at natural beauty. The first are the rocky outcroppings in New Hampshire’s White Mountains; placement of these rocks always looks just right. In addition, the flat areas against the rocks and in rock crevices in which leaves have accumulated to rot down into a humusy soil provide niches for plants. Among the low-growing plants are lowbush blueberries and lingonberries. Good job at “edible landscaping,” Ms. Nature! The other vignette was (one of many) in the Adirondack Mountains. Picture a clump of trees and a large boulder. Now picture those trees on top of the boulder, their roots wrapping around and down the bare boulder until finally reaching the ground on which the boulder sat. A scene both pretty and amazing. Mother Nature might have it in the landscape design department; not when it comes to growing fruits and vegetables, though. There may be some disagreement here: I contend that garden-grown stuff generally tastes better, and for a number of obvious reasons. In the garden, most of what we grow are named varieties, derived from clones or strains that have been selected from among wild plants, or have been bred. Named varieties generally are less bitter, sweeter and/or more tender; perhaps also high-yielding and pest-resistant. In some cases, “cultivated” plants offer too much of a good thing. Humans long sought to sink their teeth into the sweetest sweet corn, harvesting ears at their peak of perfection and then whisking them into already-boiling water to stop the enzymatic

pub-sized and one commercial. At one they used firewood to make their beer. I use propane, but it’s all handcrafted, using no preservatives. Beer is dynamic.

conversion of sugars to starches quickly. In the 1950s, a “supersweet” gene was discovered that quadrupled the sugar content of sweet corn – too sweet for me, and lacking the richness of an old-fashioned sweet corn variety such as Golden Bantam. A nutritional case can be made against cultivated varieties of plants. Studies by the US Department of Agriculture have shown modern fruits and vegetables to be lower in nutrients than those tested 50 or so years ago. Have we excessively mined our soils of minerals? No. Breeding for bulk, as well as pushing plant growth along with plenty of water and nitrogen fertilizer, has diluted the goodness in plants. In Eating on the Wild Side, Jo Robinson contends that breeding for sweeter and less bitter plants inadvertently selects for plants lower in many nutrients and phytochemicals. All this makes a good case for growing more “old-fashioned” varieties, such as heirloom tomatoes, and paying closer attention to how plants are fed (compost is all my vegetables get), and perhaps focusing more on what food really tastes like. Does Sugarbuns supersweet really taste like corn – or a candy bar? And eat some wild things. Purslane is abundant and, to some (not me), tasty now, as is pigweed – despite its name, a delicious cooked “green.” I combine it with kale and chard for a mix of cultivated and wild on the dinner plate. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

to go back to Germany at least every two years and keep up with things. Our beer list, in comparison with other breweries… we don’t have an IPA on tap. We typically do run a pale ale. We have bock, which is an amber lager beer: the German version of a stout. When you ferment a lager, you need to keep it in cold storage – gives it a nice, clean, crisp taste. The bock doesn’t have the fruity tones of the English stouts. They are different, and they have an attraction for different tastes.” When asked if he recommends pairings to his customers, he talks about the subtle flavors and how they combine with a variety of foods. “For example, our kölsch can be paired with fish, smoked barbecue, pizza, salads. Our smoked beer – a rauchweitzen is one of three that we make intermittently – we’ve won gold medals. Recently I’ve been working on a smoked wheat beer. It would go excellent with manchego cheese, fish, pizza. But I’d stay away from smoked foods, barbecued foods. When you add smoke and smoke, you cancel the taste out.” He says that the grains are smoked for these recipes, and he mentions an oak-

smoked beer that they’d put in a Jack Daniels barrel that won a bronze medal from TAPS New York. “We’re in the market for more used barrels for beers we want to work on, such as one that has been filled with maple syrup. When brewers put out a ‘cherry kölsch’ or a ‘honey wheat hefeweizen’ – what I’d like to see is that they first demonstrate they can make a good beer. Show your customers you can do it before you go to the boundaries. Hefeweizen is a sensitive beer. If you don’t have your sanitation and process in line, your customers might not appreciate the flavor. It’s minimally hopped. Hops can hide irregularities, as can flavorings. We don’t put a lemon in our beer to hide anything.” Importing grains from Germany and using New York’s famously clean water, the Giesbergs strive to replicate the OldWorld recipes of their ancestors. But they experiment, too, always keeping to traditional methods. “One of our rare styles is a sauerkraut beer. In Germany we’d get hung for doing that! It goes against all their purity laws of Reinheitsgebot, adding

I have travelers that come from Long Island; they hear about it, because you can’t just go to a brewery at the end of the block to find sauerkraut beer. That’s our fun side.” Heiko talks about the correlation of the French Huguenots who settled in the area, naming the New Paltz region after the Pfalz region of Mannheim in Germany. The brothers chose the name

Rosendale Theatre presents Truth! Sojourner Truth is one of our area’s most prominent names: She was born right along Route 213 in Esopus; she emancipated herself from slavery; she fought in the Ulster County Courthouse for custody of her son after he was illegally sold down South (and she won!); and she influenced Abraham Lincoln’s laws to abolish slavery. Now you and your crew can enjoy a live performance about this incredible woman whose impact continues to resonate today. This Saturday, August 11 at 11 a.m., head over to the Rosendale Theatre for the original performance piece Truth!

Truth! includes music composed by middle-schoolers Rhys Ellis and Maitreya Motel, and a cast of local youth artists ages 10 to 21. “All of the cast members have been learning about this strong and passionate woman. We have asked them to look inward to discover their own ‘truths’ and are thrilled to see them stand up and share their discoveries onstage,” stated Carrie Wykoff, director of Youth Arts at the Rosendale Theatre. The cost to attend is $8 for children and members, $10 for adult non-members. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale.

Day of the Bird at Storm King Art Center

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

When I Was Young in Mexico by Alonso Galvan, age 8 When I was young in Mexico we ate ice cream in the street. It was vanilla. When I was young in Mexico I went to my abuela’s house she was happy to see me. She made food for me, rice, soup and she also sold ice cream. When I was young in Mexico, I always saw dogs and cats loose in the street. They also came to the house, sometimes. I felt happy. When I was young in Mexico, it was hot. I went to the fair and I got a robot. It was a person. When I was young in Mexico, I got a job and worked. I sold ice cream for my abuela, and I got money. I gave the money to my abuela. When I was young in Mexico, I felt happy with my cousins and all of my family together.

I like playing with my baby brother, because he is in my blood. I teach him to do puzzles, and he still can’t do them, but he is getting a little bit better. I am glad I am teaching him. I am eight and I am about to be in the third grade. When I was in Mexico, I taught my cousins to speak English and now my cousins are getting it, a little bit.

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY Y

Cars, coiffures and catnaps Reflections on my mothering with terminal cancer, Part 1 “Parenting is a conglomeration of everything I’ve never learned.” – John Willey @DaddysinCharge

“W

here’s Mom?” queries my daughter. “Taking a nap, I think,” my son mumbles, headphones on, frenetically tapping his keyboard. It’s true. That 20-to-30-minute nap most afternoons gives me that final boost for the rest of the day and evening. People ask me how my cancer journey impacts my kids, and napping is one example. I never used to nap before receiving cancer treatments. I can’t speak for my children, but I can share with you my own experience of mothering with terminal cancer, which I sum up into three categories: cars, coiffures and catnaps. Parenting remains harder for me than cancer, including but not limited to enduring the Mine Diamonds song parody. On repeat. At this time of my life, cars, coiffures and catnaps present tremendous challenges as well as joyous gifts. Cars “What’s worse than raining cats and dogs? Hailing taxis.” No driving for me right now, due to the risk of seizure from having brain tumors. Which means every outing is carefully evaluated: Is it worth the effort of asking for a ride, or paying for a taxi, or shelling out for Uber or Lyft? No more impromptu outings for Jane’s Ice Cream at Wallkill View Farm, browsing through Manny’s Art Supplies, burning up gift cards at GameStop or simply getting to a playdate. It’s been over a year now, and I still find it hard to ask for ride help. But a Vassar chaplain shared this gem with me while holding out two open palms, gesturing: “This one holds pain, suffering, challenge,” then nodding to the other, “This hand is not empty.” Ride reliance means my kids are cultivating their own independent relationships with my family and friends who drive them. These same people will be around after I’m gone, and my family needs their continued support. But that familiarity is so good for them, because they are experiencing an ongoing, longterm generosity of our community at such an impressionable age. Sometimes people even reach out to us just to include us in their swimming plans for the day. You are how my crew got to day camp this summer. I have even sipped from the Fountain of Youth by stepping out of my comfort zone by riding the train with my kids to visit friends we’re used to driving to see. I was pretty resistant at first, terrified that I would get overwhelmed and lost – plus, I was re-annoyed about not being able to drive there myself. But it was our only option, and as soon as we arrived at Penn Station for our transfer, I immediately felt flush with the muscle memory of young energy: I have traveled by train throughout the world for decades. I am okay; I’ve got this! My son just started riding his bike to town via the rail trail. All of this is to say that while I feel busy every day, I’m actually home more and doing less, which leads me to greater capacity to be more mindful in my parenting. I used to think that my kids were the cause of my impatience (and a zillion other unpleasant emotions). I had no idea how much my anger stemmed from stress and fatigue. I spend much more intentional time with them now. I am so proud of my efforts to be this better, truer person for both myself and my children.

It’s been over a year now, and I still ﬁnd it hard to ask for ride help.

Coiffures “There are three ways people wear their hair: parted, unparted or departed.” Whenever I’m on a hair-losing chemotherapy and shave my head, I invite my kids to help out. Maybe it’s weird to have a bald mom, but every time, both kids get used to the smooth shiny surface, or obsessively touch the kitten-soft regrowth on my head.

But my physical side effects aren’t limited to my noggin. When I am on steroids, I consume unusually large quantities of food. I volunteered to hold my son’s dinner plate one night so the dog wouldn’t get it while he grabbed a drink for himself. Then I proceeded to eat it. My own son’s dinner! My daughter has busted me twice for drinking milk straight from the carton. They witness behaviors that I deem unacceptable, yet here I am doing them! I’ve had PleurX chest catheters hanging off my torso, big scars, huge yo-yo weight gains and losses, intense back pain; and, while my son and daughter are sympathetic, none of it really fazes them. And to be completely honest, any discomfort I’ve had over their appearance over the years has greatly diminished – like the first time my son cut his own hair around age 3 as we were leaving for a funeral, or my daughter’s insistence that matching socks don’t matter. Catnaps “Why would anyone go big when they could go home?” – @slaughthie My children witness my varying energy levels every day. I have missed countless soccer games, Girl Scout and 4-H meetings and birthday parties because I just didn’t have enough oomph to pull them off. But it’s not just physical energy that goes up and down; my social dynamics do that, too. For the first time in my life, I am feeling my own personal limits (usually after I have overdone them). The beloveds I live with have strong introvert tendencies, and I have rarely understood how people live that way – until cancer. I used to try to connect with every person at a party, while my kids would stand behind me or along the margins of the room, reticent to engage. Nowadays, I tend to talk to only a few people at a given gathering because I don’t have the strength or reserves anymore to accommodate too many one-on-one exchanges. As I find myself on the social sidelines, I’ve been taking a page out of my kids’ book: Sometimes I just sit, and people come to me! I call them sympathy shifts. I always thought I had to “make it happen.” Nope! I also used to find it tortuous to walk slowly with my children. Now that I periodically find myself in a mental or physical slowdown, every malignant mile dramatically increases my compassion and understanding of my kids’ own ailments and injuries. None of us chooses our bodies. We can shape them and change them, but as humans, we are alive and subject to ailments and infirmities over the course of our lifetime. I simply never had any before. I’m not just talking about illnessrelated changes; even aging itself can be a real challenge. I am increasingly relaxed about my family’s (formerly exasperating) personality traits, activity choices and social interactions because, for the first time, I am living this quieter pace myself. I know not everyone needs to experience something directly, but it helps me a lot. I close Part 1 with this request: Did you lose a parent when you were young (under 20)? If so, what do you wish that parent left for you, said to you or taught you? I am interested in anything you have to say; please share those reflections with me at kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

FOR ADOPTION: I am Coco, a 2+ year old Pit-Bull mix who is looking for his forever friend. Are you that someone? I love people and other dogs. I’ve had training and been told that I’m very smart and sweet. Come meet me at Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Rt. 212 (next to Transfer Station), open Tuesday-Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Phone: 6790339. Do Come. I really am Very Special! FOR ADOPTION- GRAY AND WHITE CAT GIRL- DOLLY; about 1-year old. She wandered into a woman’s garage. Since being outdoors is unsafe for pets and the woman couldn’t keep her, Dolly was in a wonderful foster home in W. Hurley and now at Saugerties Animal Shelter. She’s been spayed, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. Dolly tested negative for FIV/ LeukV. Dolly’s foster mom says she is so Sweet and Polite! CINNAMON - SWEET ORANGE SENIOR CAT BOY who’s had a rough six months. First, his caregiver passed away. Then, when a family member took Cinnamon, the dogs and cat already in the house didn’t welcome Cinnamon and was relegated to the laundry room. Now, he’s at Saugerties Animal Shelter waiting for a person/people to love him and let him know he is valued and special. Cinnamon is almost 11-years old & is one of the very special cats

Check us out on Facebook! WOULD YOU LIKE AN OUTDOOR CAT? Do you have a barn, garage, shed or outbuilding? Would you like to consider having feral cats?
