Memorial Day weekend jamboree at FDR Library in Hyde Park

LAUREN THOMAS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Gayle Grunwald poses for a photo in the Widow Jane Mine. She is wearing a lab coat from A.J. Snyder II’s cement laboratory.

HISTORY

Memorial Day weekend is always a peak time to visit the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site – especially if you have fond memories of the Greatest Generation or nostalgia for the sense of unified national purpose that characterized the World War II years. Jitterbuggers should start shining their dancing shoes for the annual USO Show that kicks off the weekend’s events in the Henry A. Wallace Center on Friday, May 27 at 7 p.m. The two hours of free, familyfriendly entertainment include live Big Band music from the 1930s and ’40s, comedy and juggling, historic newsreels and more. If your boogie-woogie bugle boy still

loves Jeeps and tanks and shiny medals, drag him along to the World War II encampment on the FDR Library grounds on Saturday and Sunday, May 28 and 29. It’s the historic site’s 25th anniversary weekend of historic military displays, and a fully restored German Army 1936 DKW NZ 250 motorcycle will be one of the specially featured pieces of war memorabilia on view. Members of the 240th Military Police Battalion, a National Park Service and Roosevelt Library living history program, will be on hand all weekend to present the history of their unit and demonstrate military equipment, including a period communications system. On Saturday at 4 p.m., local historian Carney Rhinevault, author of The History of Hyde Park-on-Hudson, will give an author talk in the Wallace Center. And as always, the annual time trip to the 1940s will wind up with a graveside service and wreath-laying ceremony in the Rose Garden on Memorial Day itself, May 30

HARD FACTS Gayle Grunwald to tell the story of Rosendale cement at the Riverport Wooden Boat School

ave you ever wondered about those caves in Rosendale – the ones that give off chilled air when you drive by, as if from an invisible air conditioner? Century House Historical Society trustee Gayle Grunwald will present a lecture titled “Kilns, ‘Caves’ and Mushroom Cans” to elaborate on the history of Rosendale’s unique geology. Sharing rare photographs from the historical archives, she will describe the processes of making the natural cement mined in the region. Grunwald will also go into the post-industrial uses of the caves: Think mushroom-growing. Then think mushroom clouds. Back in the Cold War era, when the caves were no longer being mined, it was recognized how ideal they would be for underground storage of vital records – and even people. “It was thought that if you exercised proper planning and had money, then if the ‘big bomb’ was dropped, the whole atomic incident could be looked at as an inconvenience – that you could come out and everything would be cool,” she says. “Can you imagine a few thousand people coming down the road in Rosendale to go into the caves?” The talk will take place on Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. in the Riverport Wooden Boat School, located at 50 Rondout Landing in the Rondout District (suggested donation $5). Riverport is owned and operated by the Hudson River Maritime Museum, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, which has coordinated with Century House to conduct a guided tour of the A. J. Snyder Estate and the Widow Jane Mine, a home of Rosendale natural cement, on the Saturday following the talk. The tour – limited to 30 people – meets at the A. J. Snyder Estate, located at 668 Route 213 in Rosendale, on Saturday, June 4 and will run from 1 to 3 p.m. Tickets cost $15, and can be purchased online at www.hrmm. org/store/p52/6%2f4%2f16_tour_of_snyder_estate_and_widow_jane_mine. html.

Pride Week returns to Kingston & New Paltz For the 11th year, Kingston’s LGBTQ Center is bringing Pride Week to the Hudson Valley. The festivities are comprised of four nights of events culminating in the final Pride March and Festival on Sunday, June 5 in New Paltz. There will be no kickoff party, with the Center opting to build momentum for the finale with a series of smaller events that it’s calling a “Journey to Pride.” The first official Pride Week event will be an open mic at the Anchor in Kingston on Wednesday, June 2. On Thursday night, the Center will host a “Gay, Old and Proud” panel discussion, featuring members of the LGBTQ community discussing their experiences. Fred Mayo, board president and acting executive director at the Center, says that while he is happy to see young persons receiving

recognition, the Center wants to “give the older generations a chance to tell their stories” of being LGBTQ in a time when it was less accepted. Friday will be a movie night, with a showing of The Queen, a 1968 documentary that stars drag queen Sabrina, who Mayo hopes will attend. A Pride Reception and volunteer recognition night will take place on Saturday night, followed by a party at Novella’s in New Paltz that will include dancing and cabaret with a special guest, New York City drag queen Peppermint. The Sunday Pride March is the biggest event, typically drawing about 800 participants. “We call it a march, not a parade, because it is really about honoring dignity for all people,” says Mayo. Among the participants are high school Gay/ Straight Alliances, churches and many individuals. LGBTQ groups like Dykes on Bikes and Big Gay Hudson Valley, as well as education and advocacy organizations like GLSEN and PFLAG, will be present, alongside a host of other attendees out to show their support, including teams, businesses and musical groups. Kate Pierson, member of the B-52s and longtime supporter of the LGBTQ community, will make an appearance as the event’s Grand Marshall.

ver consider that resolutions of the sort that people make at the turning of the year might be more achievable if they consisted less of abstemious messages like “Eat fewer desserts” or “Give up smoking” and more of committing to regular self-treats that do no harm? One that occasionally occurs to me is “Buy fresh flowers monthly.” It’s doable even on a fairly tight budget, and it brings a flush of joy even into a starving artist’s dusty garret. The trick, of course, is remembering to make it happen, making it a priority, amidst life’s myriad more pressing demands. Designer DeJuan Stroud is all about encouraging “everyone to bring flowers and beauty into their lives in an effortless way.” The “effortless” part sounds enticing, doesn’t it? I mean, some of us have full-time jobs and can’t be doing rustic crafts projects all day long like Martha Stewart. An Alabama native who now lives in Highland with his wife/business manager Debra Stroud and their four children, Stroud is one of the most successful event designers in New York City, with a formidably celebrity-studded client list. One of them is rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who wrote the foreword to Stroud’s new book, Designing Life’s Celebrations (Rizzoli New York, April 2016). The book “demystifies the art of the tabletop” with instructions for creating everything from “spectacular tabletops” and “glorious centerpieces” to “simple how-to floral projects” for a variety of at-home celebrations. The decorative arrangements were photographed in the Hudson Valley by another talented local, Monica Buck. As part of the book launch tour, Stroud will appear this Saturday afternoon at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy, where he will unveil a rose-laden tabletop installation that will remain on view for the rest of the month. Buck, the photographer, will join him for the celebration. The event goes on from 3 to 6 p.m. on May 28 at bluecashew, which is located at 6423 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. Admission is free (though you might be sorely tempted to buy the book). For more info, call (845) 8761117 or visit www.bluecashewkitchen.com. – Frances Marion Platt

Following the march, marchers and onlookers can gather in Hasbrouck Park, where there will be food trucks, vendor booths and performers. The Center will collect the names of sponsors and supporters into a Digital Pride Guide that will remain on its website for the duration of the year. The festivities will continue into the night with an afterparty, though the Center has yet to decide on a venue. Mayo says that the purpose of Pride Week is twofold: It celebrates“the community, the dignity and the straight allies,” but it also serves as a reminder that there is still a lot of work left to do. He notes that the legalization of same-sex marriage was a huge step in the fight for LGBTQ rights, but that “everything isn’t solved,” pointing to North Carolina’s recent legislation to block anti-discrimination policies. New York faced its own legal turmoil around LGBTQ rights, notably in 2004 when then-mayor of New Paltz Jason West officiated same-sex marriages and faced charges for doing so. “Particularly this year,” says Mayo, “the Pride march and festival is important to show that the Hudson Valley celebrates the dignity of all LGBTQ persons. New Paltz is a welcoming community to all of us. What a privilege it is to celebrate Pride there.” The Center provides resources and organizes events for LGBTQ persons and allies. Mayo says that Pride is a “big splash,” but that the Center wants to continue that work year-round. “We’re devoted to a quiet, continuing commitment to change.” – Fiona Steacy

ART

Installation view for Hayv Kahraman (All images courtesy of the artist and Jack Shainman Gallery)

Back to the School “A Change of Place: Four Solo Exhibitions” now on view in Jack Shainman's Kinderhook oasis of art

ack Shainman knows how to throw a party. Driving up to Kinderhook last Sunday for the opening of this summer’s exhibition at the School, a 30,000-foot exhibition space that the Chelsea gallery-owner opened in May 2014, a friend and I thought that we still had a ways to go when we entered the outskirts of a town. Capacious, lush lawns swept up to handsome, well-kept brick and Victorian mansions, and as far as we could see, parked cars lined both sides of the road. “Wow, what’s going on here?” we asked. “Must be some wedding.” Then we passed the School, with crowds of people on the front lawn, adorned with an orange di Suvero steel sculpture, buses in the driveway and a huge banner reading “Jack Shainman’s The School” hanging off the front of the elegant Federal-style brick building. (Formerly Martin Van Buren High School, the building has a central colonnaded gable and white cupola.) With a little luck, I located a parking spot fairly nearby (all the side streets were similarly full of parked cars), and soon we found ourselves on the enormous lawn out back, mingling in a crowd that made us feel that we were at the coolest wedding ever. Music blared from a huge white tent sheltering dozens of white linen-covered tables and chairs, and a lineup of half a dozen food trucks offered an enticing choice of cuisines: barbecue, Indian, Greek and German. Under another tent, people were lining up for drinks: lemonade served in glasses with mint and a choice of alcohol, including rum, vodka and wine. Though my friend and I were eager to see the art, we lingered awhile on the

lawn, enjoying the party. Once we finally climbed the stone steps into the brightly lit white-walled galleries, however, there was no sense of letdown; the exhibition – a combination of sculptures, photographs and paintings by four artists – was gripping, beautifully displayed in what felt like a temple of art. A series of

rooms, unified by the brushed stone/gray concrete floor, flowed seamlessly through the building of three floors, effortlessly complementing the diverse artworks at every turn. The four artists, Garnett Puett, Richard Mosse, Hayv Kahraman and Pierre Dorion, represent a range of nationalities,

subject matter and media, but their work is united by “a tension between absence and presence,” according to the gallery, which notes that the art collectively refers to allusions to what is not explicitly there, yet haunts the viewer. Hence the title of the show, which is up through the summer: “A Change of Place: Four Solo

Exhibitions.” To most viewers, that theme will probably seem obscure; what is most obvious is how each body of work is not

only extremely consistent in style and theme, but also stands apart in dramatic contrast to the other art – and showcases

the individual strengths of the School’s various beautifully designed galleries. You enter into a rather intimate graypaneled room, whose classical formalism is conveyed by the simple arched doorways and curved, floating ceiling, brilliantly illuminated by lights hidden behind the edge of the paneling. Its traditional elegance was the perfect setting for Garnett Puett’s rather delicate sculptures consisting of beeswax and covering or partially filling a wood or steel structure (one also incorporates a garbage-can lid and another an electrical cord). The forms of the beeswax, which is shaped by the action of the bees combined with the decision of the artist to remove them from the hive and preserve the form of the in-process comb, are vaguely biomorphic, almost erotic in their curvaceous droopiness; they also suggest strange fungilike growths and, in the wax’s sallow coloration, decay. Yet the porous, waffled surface, knit of tiny, uniform hexagons, also suggests semi-translucent screens, a material incorporating voids as much as substance; while consistent in their patterned structure, like the weave of a fabric, the forms are also seamed in places, ragged and characterized by subtle shifts in hue: a crafted material that completely embodies the notion of craft. Each piece is displayed in a glass vitrine or large glass bell, as if it were a Victorian-era scientific specimen, an object of fascination. The quasi-scientific approach, the unlikely pairing of biomorphic forms with industrial artifacts and drab coloration have a kinship with Duchamp’s deadpan drawings and paintings of machines, of Dadaist found objects and of Surrealism’s preoccupation with dreams and the irrational, its systematic melding of unlike subject matter. One piece, a vertical, humanoid form of solid beeswax titled Soul Spur, recalls Rodin’s bronze statue of Balzac in its suggestion of a monumental robed figure – here interpreted as a spooky wraith. (The dates on the label, 1996-2016, startle, indicating that the piece evolved over 20 years and presumably involved thousands of generations of bees.) While many environmental artists adapt a conceptual, didactic approach, Puett, a fourth-generation beekeeper living in Hawaii, successfully transmutes his organic material and working partnership with the bees into eyecatching art objects, which are abidingly strange, beautiful and rich in their associations with performance, sculpture and insect life. On the second floor, Puett has installed an antique wood cabinet holding a gun rack, where honeybees, entering the

cabinet from outside by means of a clear plastic tube puncturing the wall of the building, are busy building a honeycomb. The glass-fronted cabinet, illuminated by a red light, swarms with bees, and the two guns propped up inside are halfsubsumed by reefs of comb. We were a little horrified to observe the glass covered with the dark fuzzy bodies of buzzing bees; not beekeepers ourselves, we were perhaps responding to the primitive revulsion for clusters of tiny animate things, be they insects or maggots – as well as the potentially demonic power of nature to strike back, as Alfred Hitchcock powerfully conveyed in The Birds. (However, when we encountered numerous bees that had escaped and were lying dead or dying on the windowsill, our response was “poor things”; I tried to scoop one onto my pad of paper to take it outside, until my friend advised me that I might get stung.) Turning a corner down a wide hallway, we encountered Richard Mosse’s photographs of Iraq and the Congo, whose vivid color, narratives and monumental scale couldn’t be more different in sensibility from Puett’s apisculptures. Breach, a series of images of US soldiers occupying the former palaces built by Saddam Hussein, explores the architecture of domination, be it crumbling, shoddily constructed stone columns or Nautilus sports equipment. One photograph depicts a solider exercising with sports equipment in an oversized arcade bordering a courtyard and an empty swimming pool; another a lone solider smoking in a chair, a dark, silhouetted form contemplating a distant, out-of-focus view of a lake and palmfringed, settled land. These magnificently composed images have the grandeur of history paintings, reconstrued for our times: The isolation of these surreal, overblown, marble-and-stone follies, the way that they lord it over their distant surroundings and their occupation by the American soldiers hint at a frightening disconnect. The crude interpretation is that the soldiers, occupying the dictator’s viewpoint, represent the powerful, and therefore are another kind of oppressor. But there’s much more to the images: Lonely figures dwarfed by the architecture, they instead read as mere stand-ins; the architectural symbols are falling into decay, and the truly powerful are invisible. Downstairs, in what had been the school’s gymnasium, one enters a vast 3,000-square-foot gallery with soaring ceilings; the late Spanish architect Antonio Jimenez Torrecillas excavated the floor to create an elevation of 24 feet.

Three of Mosse’s enormous panoramic photographs from his Infra series serve as portals into the troubled landscape of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where ethnic cleansing and intertribal warfare have resulted in the loss of millions of lives. Mosse shot the photos using an infrared reconnaissance film once used by the US military in World War II and the Vietnam War. The psychedelic color emphasizes the otherworldly, offlimits character of a landscape otherwise portrayed as sublime in its mountainous aspect, immense scale and incredible detail (including tiny figures), as an Albert Bierstadt painting. Mosse alludes to the economic activity as well, photographing an aerial view of a mountainous area, gouged by rough roads, where gold mining occurs and a woodland is in the process of being burned for charcoal production. He photographs a group portrait of members of a Tutsi village, in which not one face is smiling. In his series Come Out, he documents the provisional structures of branches and sticks made by people who are constantly forced to move; these temporary shelters have a frail beauty. The Irish-born artist, who lives in New York, represented Ireland in the 55th Venice Biennale and shows his work around the world. Many of the second-floor galleries are devoted to the work of Hayv Kahraman, who was born in Baghdad and now resides in Los Angeles. She represents the sirens that she heard frequently growing up in Iraq – a painful sonic memory – as a grid of small Xes, underlaid by acoustic foam, piercing the torsos of the single nude women she paints in oil-on-linen canvases; the dark-haired women, who are depicted in a stylization of flat shapes, graceful lines and nuanced shadings inspired by a 13th-century Baghdadi illuminated manuscript, hold their ears. Her large, spare oil paintings of dancing or seated groups of women – many inscribed with Arabic writing describing aphorisms, stories or political sayings – are modern interpretations of the pages of the 13th-century manuscript and celebrate the flourishing culture that created it, before the Mongol invasion.

Tiny house by Berkshire Shepherd Huts

EVENT

IT’S A SMALL WORLD Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair returns to Ulster County Fairgrounds – with Tiny Houses!

he Woodstock-New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair at the Ulster County Fairgrounds this weekend will house the work of 200 juried artists and craftspeople. Since its first show in 1982, Quail Hollow Events has attracted fine artists and craftspeople from across the US. Held semiannually, these shows – one held over Memorial Day and one on Labor Day weekend – have indeed become a national tradition of excellence. This extravaganza features Tiny Houses, the latest trend in downsizing, streamlining and purging of living spaces. If you’ve seen pictures or dreamed of occupying a tiny house, this is your chance to join the national obsession as represented on hit cable TV shows. Whether it’s built on a permanent foundation or on wheels, a tiny house appeals to anyone questioning the necessity for “all that room.” One hundred and fifty square feet may just be plenty of space – to work or daydream or hang out in, away from the madding crowd. The custom design employed in many tiny houses indicates the needs of a wholly new category of homeowners. Says Scott Rubinstein, co-director of Quail Hollow Events, “Many of these tiny houses are built by incredibly skilled artists and craftspeople with comprehensive talents in many of the construction technologies necessary in general residential construction. Combine this with imaginative designs and a brilliant use of living space and you are obviously not looking at your historical trailer.” Several tiny houses will be on exhibition at the fair. “We have historically had designer/builders at the fairs with small timberframe and utility buildings,” says co-director Neil Rubinstein. “This movement to creative mobile residences has generated enormous interest, and we are sure our visitors will take great pleasure in seeing the homes in person.” Visitors will be able to see tiny house exhibits by Berkshire Shepherd Huts of Sheffield, Massachusetts, (www.berkshireshepherdhuts.com) and Custom Forest Products of Staatsburg (www.customforestproductsinc.com). As always, visitors to the fair can see a variety of arts and crafts demonstrations, as well as experience the very best that the Hudson Valley has to offer in New York State wines, locally produced handcrafted specialty foods and healthcare products and craft supplies. A Children’s Center will keep kids entertained with demonstrations and supervised art and craft projects. The whole family can also attend a talk by Ellen Kalish of the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center, who will introduce a variety of rescued native Northeast birds: barred owls, a kestrel, a barn owl, a falcon and a red-tailed hawk. Enjoy performances by Side by Side, LaurieAnne, All-She-Wrote, Helen Avakian, the Acquaintances, Ray Andrews and Liz Graham. Check the website for a full listing of exhibitors and schedules. Come rain or shine; park free, buses are welcome; but please leave your pooches at home. – Ann Hutton Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Craft Fair, Saturday/Sunday, May 28/29, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday, May 30, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., $9/$8, Ulster County Fairgrounds, 249 Libertyville Road, New Paltz; (845) 246-3414, http://quailhollow.com.

also paints watercolors of mysterious, gesturing hands, emerging from richly patterned sleeves, and makes sculptures and reliefs that describe geometric forms in flamelike wood tracery. These upstairs classrooms have been transformed into a series of spacious, simple white-walled galleries with transparent white scrims covering the windows; vertical white fluorescent tubes are installed on the walls and ceilings. The setting changes at one end of the building, where there are several distressed rooms that retain an echo of the schoolroom: Broad blue bands presumably indicate the location of the blackboards, and a blue circle suggests the shape of the classroom

clock. Naturally lit rooms, they have a somber and contemplative atmosphere and form the frame for Pierre Dorion’s illusionistic paintings of doorways, windows and corridors. Dorion’s paintings are based on photographs of these very interiors, and the effect is of uncanny doubles – the illusionistic doorways and corridors disintegrating the solidity of the actual wall and telescoping space. Coolly painted and devoid of distracting details, they emphasize the geometry of the simple architectural features and are imbued with a mysterious sense of absence, of suspense, even; the painter’s unstinting observations of these empty spaces and flat surfaces –

subject matter that normally would defy observation – are almost voyeuristic. The paintings have a crispness that causes them to emerge from the wall, as if they, and not the distressed, rather dimly lit walls on which they are hung, were the literal space. The painterly and textured features of the actual walls contrast with the luminous images; they seem to float on the marked and blemished wall like vivid visions, as if the wall were dreaming. Dorion lives in Montreal, where in 2012 he had a major retrospection at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montreal. We drifted out onto the lawn after a couple of hours of viewing the art. The crowds had dispersed, but there was still

food and drink, so we had a pulled pork sandwich and lingered. It was a luminous evening, and the fresh green leaves and flowers of spring perfumed the air. We felt sorry for the people who boarded the bus back to New York – and were reminded that the mid-Hudson Valley offers the best of both worlds: gorgeous nature and fantastic art. – Lynn Woods “A Change of Place: Four Solo Exhibitions,” Garnett Puett, Richard Mosse, Hayv Kahraman & Pierre Dorion, Saturdays through summer 2016, 11 a.m. to 5 a.m., Jack Shainman Gallery, 25 Broad Street, Kinderhook; (518) 758-1628, www.jackshainman.com.

Make a hologram at SUNY-New Paltz’s Dorsky Museum

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 26, 2016

Berkhout, is the focus of “The Floating World,” on view at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz. “ Made for You: New Directions in Contemporary Design” has been running concurrently with the Berkhout show, using objects of daily use made by Hudson Valley artisans to explore that blissful nexus where the utilitarian meets the aesthetically sublime. As is usual at the Dorsky, fun and stimulating programming associated with the subjects of an exhibition pop up during its run; next weekend presents us with two opportunities to delve more deeply into the mysteries of holography and the joys of being surrounded by a houseful of beautiful objects. The museum is closed for Memorial Day Weekend, but next Saturday, June 4 at 2 p.m., Dr. Martina Mrongovius, director of the Center for the Holographic Arts in New York City, will conduct a hands-on “HologramMaking Workshop and Demonstration.” Participants will actually get to collaborate on making a hologram, while learning more about how they work as well as about Berkhout’s process. Then, on Sunday, June 5, also at 2 p.m., the monthly First Sunday Free Gallery Tour will be conducted by guest educator Jennifer Carlquist, design historian and curator of Boscobel House and Gardens. Her exhibition of contemporary furniture, “Hudson Hewn: New York

Furniture Now,” is on view at Boscobel through mid-August (www.boscobel. org /events-and-exhibitions/specialexhibitions), and pairs well indeed with the Dorsky’s “Made for You.” There is no fee for public programs at the Dorsky Museum, but visitors are encouraged to make a $5 donation upon entry. For more on these and other upcoming events, as well as the Dorsky’s current shows, visit www.newpaltz.edu/ museum. The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art is centrally located on the campus of SUNY-New Paltz, whose official address

is 1 Hawk Drive in New Paltz, though the closest parking lot is on South Mannheim Boulevard/Route 32 South.

LOOKING AT THE TEXT-PACKED PSYCHEDELIC Mountain Jam poster, one can all but hear the boardroom positioning and multiplayer negotiations that go into the shaping of the bill and the hierarchical assignment of type sizes to band names.

Mountain Jam on my mind

as it really been 12 Mountain Jams already? In fact it has, and that makes the Hunter Mountain long binge weekend one of the granddaddies of the new-model, cross-genre music festival. Festivals have transformed the live music landscape in the last decade, its economic and aesthetic character. In terms of formative, industry-shaping influence, Mountain Jam sits just a rung below its most venerable and high-profile relatives: Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee; Coachella in Indio, California; Bumbershoot in Seattle; and a small handful of the most robust and enduring others, some inclusive and imperialistic, others highly specialized and canonical. Festival booking represents a fascinating act of compromise, as organizers try to balance the serving of the core constituencies with the imperative of growth and the challenges posed by increasing competition. With two or more stages to fill for three or more days, musical diversity is inevitable (even at a purist festival like Grey Fox), but it is not a pell-mell, randomized diversity. Looking at the text-packed psychedelic Mountain Jam poster, one can all but hear the boardroom positioning and multiplayer negotiations that go into the shaping of

and affiliations with more established and iconic artists. Imagine the primary festival stakeholders and their multiple interests: building their brand, refining their positioning in a cluttered market, schmoozing with the gods and defending their margins. The audience itself speaks, too, in that crude collective way of ours, with our documented proclivities and our gate-measured enthusiasm (or our jaded and fatigued lack thereof ) for the acts that we are proffered. Diversity is actually built into Mountain Jam, though it may not be apparent in the festival’s name, which paints a pretty cohesive picture of earthy, string-based rock in a high rural setting. The paradox lies in the festival’s complex and multiparty imprimatur, the pairing of stakeholders Radio Woodstock (they of the three-anda-half-minute Adult Alternative pop song) and Gov’t Mule’s Warren Haynes (he of the three-and-a-half-minute blues/rock guitar solo). The contradiction inherent in that tandem has actually served the festival extremely well. Mountain Jam has been pivotal and forward-looking in the way that it has introduced many nonjam, song-oriented artists (such as Jackie Greene or Dr. Dog) to the great receptivity and support of the jam audience. And let’s give that jam audience a heaping pile of credit, as well, for its stereotype-defying iconoclasm of taste. Speaking of iconoclasm of taste, to the 2016 lineup we go.

proclaimed it a time of great healing.

SHOW

Dylan Birthday Bash at Woodstock Playhouse

ith the recent deaths of multiple generation-defining musical figures, our arms wrap a little tighter around the ones who still walk among us. Bob Dylan would be right there with Paul McCartney at the top the “Please don’t go” list, and on Sunday, May 29, Family of Woodstock celebrates old Zimm’s 75th birthday with the eighth annual Dylan Birthday Bash. It features a stunning roster of performers mounting the stage at the Bearsville Theater, where hang Elliot Landy’s iconic portraits of Dylan at the height of his powers (and his good looks). Onetime local youth phenom Connor Kennedy long ago dropped the youth-phenom tag and established that he is in this for the haul. He is now just a voracious player and curator of music across the genres, and a fixture on all levels of the regional scene. He will be serving as musical director of this notable-studded tribute and benefit. “The many faces of Bob” is Kennedy’s keynote: “He is boundary-breaking,” Kennedy said. “Every record reveals a different person, musically and thematically.” Anchoring the lineup are Dylan contemporaries and scenemates like the great Happy Traum, roots-guitar whiz Arlen Roth and the legendary singer/songwriter John Sebastian; and later-era Dylan sidemen like the multifaceted Americana high lama Larry Campbell. Bill Sims, Jr., an icon among blues aficionados, will perform; and at the other end of the musical spectrum will be Kate Pierson, known as frontwoman for the B-52s and recently as a solo artist and songwriter. From there, the lineup put together by Kennedy and Dylan Birthday Bash coordinator Lu Ann Bielawa takes some turns toward the surprising and refreshing, with Pierson, blues eminence Sims and Eric Redd, Doug Yoel and Carmen Senski, Marc Black, Jules Shear and Robert Burke Warren reprising performances from last year’s bash. New to the celebration are harpist Mikaela Davis (“seriously up-and-coming,” according to Kennedy) and Jared Samuel of the remarkable Brooklyn group Invisible Familiars. Tickets are available at http://radiowoodstock.com/concerts. There will be a special champagne reception for $100 and $65 Golden Circle ticketholders. Seats are also available for $45 and standing room for $25. In addition to a great evening of music, there will be a raffle of two classic Elliott Landy Dylan portraits. The proceeds from the event go to Family of Woodstock’s 24-hour Hotline and the John Herald Fund, which helps local musicians with small financial needs. The event is sponsored by Radio Woodstock-100.1 and the Bearsville Theater Complex. – John Burdick

STAGE a connection to the college: Tobias is a current student and Patashny an alum. Theatergoers familiar with productions of New Paltz’s 90 Miles Off Broadway company will recognize 15-year-old Oona Stoever of New Paltz, a standout vocalist. Rondout Middle School seventh-grader Ethan LaSalvia and high school student Alix Guzman round out the cast. Rebecca Coupe Franks directs her troupe and plays trumpet and piano for the production, accompanied by Anne Belmont on guitar. When Hubert’s Block is staged at SUNYNew Paltz’s Studley Theatre later this year (September 25 at 2 and 7 p.m.), Franks hopes to expand the musical with more staging and a full rhythm section. Franks teaches trumpet at the college in New Paltz. Originally from the Bay Area in Northern California, she came to live in the Hudson Valley after years in New York City interspersed with years back in California. Familiar with New Paltz from hiking, it was an attractive choice of place in which to settle. In her earlier years, Franks lived in Venezuela for a year, playing in salsa and merengue bands. She describes her music as genrecrossing, an amalgam of jazz, Latin, bebop and rhythm-and-blues, with bits of gospel and inflections of pop in the mix. “I’ve never fit into the categories,” she says, “so I do what I want to do.” – Sharyn Flanagan

Rebecca Coupe Franks premieres Hubert’s Block, a musical about Alzheimer's Disease, at Rosendale Café, Woodland Pond & the Falcon

ew Paltz-based jazz musician Rebecca Coupe Franks has released a half-dozen or so CDs of original music, but Hubert’s Block is the first musical that she has written – a project in the works for the past two years. Franks undertook the challenge of writing both book and music out of a sense of wanting to do something different. “It came together very spontaneously,” she says. “The whole thing is kind of a jazz improv.” Most of the action in Hubert’s Block takes place on Cornelia Street in New York City’s West Village, where Franks lived for a time, as the main character, Hubert, seeks a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The quirky young man is in the process of applying to medical school, looking at the possibility of blocking proteins that might cause the disease. Hubert’s father had once been a researcher on the topic, with vast archives of his findings; but living with the disease now himself in his elder years, he can’t remember what he did with the material. Other characters in the play include the rest of the people living on Hubert’s block: his teenaged sister, his mom (a psychiatrist) and various neighbors, who range from a homeless woman to a psychic who owns a store devoted to angels. The underlying message of the drama/ comedy, says Franks, is about appreciating life and helping others. Love, hope, forgiveness...and guardian angels. Franks

doesn’t have a personal connection to Alzheimer’s disease herself, but says that the play encourages finding a cure for the disease. She’s calling it an “allages” musical, but while there’s nothing inappropriate in it that would prohibit taking young children to see the show, the medical references in it would probably go over their heads. The first performances of Hubert’s Block will be somewhat experimental. “This will be a chance to get feedback from audiences and see what works,” says Franks.

Cooking with compassion Spiral House in Saugerties publishes vegan cookbook, For Goodness Sake

very cookbook ever written has what comic book writers call an “origin story.” There’s always a reason – at least one – to go to all the trouble of cooking one up. Irma Rombauer, who wrote the queen mother of all American cookbooks, The Joy of Cooking, said that her book was born of a desire “to make palatable dishes with simple means and to lift everyday cooking out of the commonplace.” Though the creators (there are seven of them) of the new vegan cookbook For Goodness Sake make no claim to be inheritors of Rombauer’s mantle, they share her aim: to lift and perhaps not only rescue, but even elevate cooking and everything that Tom Gottsleben and Patty Livingston it entails out of the commonplace. Certainly, there’s nothing commonplace in Gottsleben’s stone sculptures that dot about the place where the book was born, the property and the extensive flower as indicated by the lavishly illustrated and vegetable gardens managed by head gardener Andrea Barrist Stern, whose book’s subtitle: Plant-Based Recipes from the Spiral House Kitchen. The Spiral 250-plus photographs give the cookbook House looms over the land and lives of its unique and welcoming look. its creators, artist Tom Gottsleben and What has all this got to do with the his wife Patty, like a lighthouse pulsing cookbook?

The grounds devotee in the 1970s of the boy Guru transformed Gottsleben’s artistic practice, Maharaj Ji. Though he was convinced that moving him from painting to sculpture, his life was meant to be lived as an artist, and in the process gave birth to a fiveGottsleben showed an early talent for the story home built on principles of sacred art of managing people and projects – first geometry that in turn you can see at work within the international districts of the

EVENT

Good pairing Enjoy vegan winery/vegan fare at For G oodness Sake publication party at Whitecliff Vineyards in Gardiner

he people who created the For Goodness Sake cookbook will celebrate – in the most rewarding way possible – the book’s publication with a party at Gardiner’s Whitecliff Vineyards. Whitecliff is the only vegan winery in the mid-Hudson region, which means that it doesn’t use animal-based ingredients such as fish parts, egg whites and gelatin in its clarifying process. The wine-tasting will pair three of the book’s plant-based dishes with six of the winery’s two dozen wines. A $32 advance ticket includes the food and wine and a copy of the cookbook, which retails for $29.99. Tickets at the door cost $15. The party starts at 12 noon on Saturday, June 18. Whitecliff Vineyard is located at 331 McKinstry Road in Gardiner. For further information, visit http://4goodness-sake.com. – Jeremiah Horrigan

Divine Light Mission and later in the corporate world. Success in that buttoned-down realm eventually gave way to the lure of country living, the discovery of his future wife and the resumption of his need to be creative. Gottsleben returned to painting when he moved to Saugerties, but before long, looking around himself, he realized that the world he was living in, with its boundless supply of stone, was the medium in which he needed to work and the world in which he needed to live. It was – and is – a world that’s inclusive, if only because it requires the skill of others who can cut and help fashion Gottsleben’s pieces: works that are the bedrock, so to speak, of the five-level Spiral House, the surrounding flower and vegetable gardens, various workspaces and now its most recent offspring, the cookbook. Though Spiral House is one of the region’s stunning constructions, it’s also a private home. Consider the cookbook

the best and only way the public can experience the Spiral House as it’s lived by the working community that comprises its day-to-day life. That life can involve as many as two dozen men and women who work on the property and share their lunch around the daily culinary efforts of chef Diane Hagedorn. The cookbook’s 140 vegan recipes have been selected and painstakingly tested for the qualities and reasons that are familiar to anyone who understands and appreciates what a vegan lifestyle offers: a diet that reduces the toxic by-products of commonplace agribusiness – i.e., methane, carbon dioxide and the bulldozing of vast acreage for animal agriculture. The cookbook, says Barrist Stern, “is really about the community that lives and works at Spiral House, the deep friendships that have developed. We believe in living consciously.” A plantbased lifestyle, she says, is what allows

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 26, 2016 the consciousness that may come of community to have a larger effect in a world where animals are routinely tortured for the presumable benefit of human consumers. Gottsleben puts it this way in the cookbook’s introduction: “In these fastpaced and chaotic times, a growing number of people are becoming aware of the importance of social bonds, seeking a way around the isolation they feel. We believe that respect, care and love of all living things and an awareness of our interconnectedness provide a good antidote.” Spiral House took about five years to complete; the cookbook that reflects the philosophy of the group who gathers for lunch in its graceful confines took two years and the efforts of seven people to come to fruition. Gottsleben is still in touch with the man who introduced him to the workings of the inner life and the principles that such a life encompasses. The boy known as Guru Maharaj Ji is now a 58-year-old man known as Prem Rawat. Gottsleben smiles in acknowledgement of how not only his former guru’s life has changed, but also how he sees the circuitous path that his own life has taken. At the table in the Spiral House kitchen where the cookbook was born, Gottsleben said that he’s comfortable being called a teacher, though not in any sort of preachy way. “My way has been demonstrating and living a life that might be instructive: Life isn’t random; it works in patterns of cohesiveness, a wonderful pattern of wholeness.” He said that he didn’t know anything about building a house when he decided to build Spiral House; didn’t know much about publishing a book, either. But both efforts drew on the skills of the people who have carved out the community that their cookbook celebrates. In evoking the

spirit behind those projects, he doesn’t call on the expectable gods of traditional spirituality, but on the ghosts of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, whose most famous cry was, “Let’s put on a show!” And that, he said, was the way that a life could be lived – as well as being the spirit in which a cookbook could be created that reflected that way of life. – Jeremiah Horrigan For Goodness Sake is available for $29.99 through independent booksellers as well as Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble. com and Indiebound.com.

“N

Among the topics will be birdsong, migratory behavior, how boreal bird habitat is being impacted by climate change, golden eagles and turkey vultures, Blackburnian warblers and the elusive Bicknell’s thrush (the latter sometimes sighted on Slide Mountain). Vermont Center for Ecostudies director Chris Rimmer and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Chris Wood and Jessie Barry are the keynote speakers. The weekend will include group meals and social hours. Registration begins at 3 p.m. on Friday, and attendees depart the host site at 10 a.m. on Sunday, though some field trips will head elsewhere from that point on.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Snap out of it Warm weather followed by cold in early spring can do weird things to gardens

erhaps last winter’s weather – extended cold-but-not-frigid temperatures, and hardly any snow – is still playing games with us. Perhaps it is mischief from the early, extended, very warm weather in early spring that was followed by plummeting temperatures and our biggest snowfall (four inches) of the year. Whatever the reason, some weird things are going on this growing season. Look at one of my old pear trees, for instance: This tree might be called my “sample” or my “first-cut” pear tree. When I hear tell of a pear variety that might be worth growing, I get a scion and graft it onto this tree. The scion bears quickly (in theory, at least), and if it passes the “first cut,” perhaps it will warrant its own tree. There’s not enough time or space to put every Tom, Dick and Harry of a pear variety on its own tree. The tree now has about a dozen varieties of pear growing off various branches. That’s not weird, though. What is weird is that, right now, the top half of the tree is fully leafed out, while limbs on the bottom half of the tree are leafless. A disease? Doubtful. A disease killing that much of a tree at once would probably originate in the trunk or roots, in which case the whole tree or only the upper portion would be leafless. And anyway, those leafless limbs are not dead. Cutting beneath the bark reveals living green tissue. My hypothesis (a weak one) is that the cold snap in spring, where temperatures in the teens followed a spate of temperatures in the 70s, is the culprit. Warm temperatures in late winter and spring cause plants to awaken rapidly and lose the cold-hardiness that they maintained through the coldest parts of winter. The pears seemed quite awake when that cold spell struck. But why was only the bottom portion of the tree affected? (Here’s the weakness in my hypothesis.) Windless clear nights, such as during spring’s cold snap, bring a temperature inversion. Under such conditions, denser cold air can settle down near ground level. Even a few feet of elevation can make a difference – one that’s evident when riding a bicycle or motorcycle on a clear summer night on rolling terrain. So maybe the bottom half of the pear tree experienced temperatures just below the tipping point, where enough damage occurred to delay leafing out. No other plants, including other pear trees, experienced this bifurcation. Then again, the “sample” pear is all by itself where the microclimate might be slightly different. During that cold snap, the other pears were quite awake, seemingly just about ready to spread their blossoms. I was braced for a total crop loss. Weirdly, the trees went on to blossom just fine, and now have what’s shaping up to be a decent load of fruit on them. More weirdness: Every season I sow vegetable seeds according to a schedule that I’ve developed over the years. I sow the seeds in mini-furrows in flats of potting soil or potting soil topped with a mix of peat moss and perlite. Every season I make my own potting soil from a mix of equal parts peat moss, perlite, compost and garden soil, with everything sifted together through half-inch-mesh hard-

ware cloth. And every season I’ve had sturdy, lush green transplants to set out over the past few weeks. Not this season. Too many of the transplants are stunted, with flaccid leaves that are not uniformly lush green. Some have slight interveinal yellowing of oldest leaves, some have slight reddening of veins – hinting, respectively, at insufficient nitrogen and phosphorus uptake. As usual, the weather could be blamed. Those auspicious sunny days of late winter gave way to a long period of overcast days. Rain or not is not the issue, because seedlings were in the greenhouse, watered as needed. Overwatered? Underwatered? Cool greenhouse temperatures could limit root growth, in turn limiting uptake of nutrients even if they are in the soil. The potting soil could be the culprit. Although ingredients of my mix are always proportionately the same, the compost isn’t exactly the same from year to year. Same goes for the “garden soil” that goes into the mix. I scrape it up from various places around the yard: the bottom of a finished compost bin, from my catch-all extra soil bin, from top layers of a pond that I’m occasionally hand-digging. A couple of other gardeners and farmers have concurred with their seedlings’ poor growth this year. Perhaps it was the weather? Do you want to weigh in? Apparently weird, but not, was my plum tree that, a couple of weeks ago, was in full bloom – but only one portion of the plant, and distinctly so. Can you guess why? – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? E-mail Lee at garden@leereich.com and he’ll try answering them directly or in his Almanac Weekly column.

NIGHT SKY

The math that destroys space and time

rofessional astronomers use math routinely. Their journals brim with equations that can resemble the markings on Inca tablets. This holds no attraction for most folks, who often go far beyond mere arithmetical apathy: They hate it. Perhaps it reminds them of school. Dan Kelson, the Carnegie Institution for Science researcher whose team discovered the farthest-ever galaxy, told me that, “As an astronomer, math is all that I do. All the time. All of it. Not 37 percent, not 83 percent, not even 99.99 percent. It’s 100 percent.” No matter. My own pathological need to be loved makes me leave out even simple favorite equations like the amazing Lorentz transformation, which shows how time slows as your speed increases. But let’s tackle it just once, right now, and observe what happens. The result is actually astonishing. Ready? It’s: t1-v2/c2 – and doesn’t that seem impossibly arcane? Yet this short equation reveals exactly how your time shrinks when you travel at a particular speed. Einstein loved this formula so much that he adopted it like a kitten. Let’s give it a try: First we see a “T,” which simply means time. This denotes whatever time period passed for the folks who stayed home. Let’s make it easy and say it’s a single year. So that “T” is 1. This gets multiplied by the meat-and-potatoes of Hendrik Lorentz’s brilliant equation, which is 1-v²/c². V is the traveler’s velocity, C is the speed of light; and it all sits under the “square root” symbol, the “” found on even one-dollar calculators. We’re now ready to see why time freezes at light-speed. You can insert any velocity you like, as “V.” But first let’s see what would happen if you zoomed at light-speed itself. In that case V and C are the same. So v²/c² becomes c²/ c², and dividing anything by itself results in “one.” The formula tells us to subtract this (one) from 1, which yields a zero. And that’s all that remains beneath the square root sign. The square root of zero is zero, and now we’re done. Conclusion: At light-speed, zero time elapses. No time at all passes. Time is frozen. Totally weird. Try some other speed. Say you go twice as fast as a rifle bullet, or one mile a second. So insert “1” for V. Go through the steps and you may again be amazed. When you travel at that speed, the equation reveals that your time passage is one year when your stay-

ALAN CLEAVER

at-home friends experience one year – meaning, nothing changes. Merely going twice a bullet’s speed is too slow to alter the passage of time. By contrast, time grinds to a total halt when you move at the speed of light. Somewhere between those two extremes are various amounts of time slowdown. The beauty of this simple formula, which Lorentz created in 1904, is that you can insert any speed you like, as V, and it quickly reveals how time passes. This very same formula also shows how length or distance shrinks as you move faster. Just substitute D (for distance) instead of T for time: same results. It means that the universe has no fixed size. It alters its dimensions depending on your local circumstances. Travel at 99.9999999 percent of light-speed and the equation tells you that the universe is now 22,360 times smaller. If you could go at light-speed, to see what a photon experiences, there’d be no distance at all between you and the farthest edges of the cosmos. You’d find yourself everywhere at once. It’s all undeniably juicy. And it all derives from that single short equation – which makes us wonder whether math is “built into” the universe. Or rather, do our minds impose a system of order that lets us make sense of things? There is no clear-cut answer. What do you think? – Bob Berman Want to know more?
