Good news for gospel-lovers North Carolina’s John Thorpe & Truth to give free concert in Kingston on Saturday afternoon When Big Joe Fitz talks about blues, soul and gospel authenticity and the real deals in our midst, we do well to listen. Fitz – the well-known regional blues and soul interpreter, curator and deejay – had his hand in the book-

The Slackers come to BSP this Saturday If you don’t dig the bro-rock of third-wave ska, and all the questionable behaviors and ideologies that it may or may not imply, chances are you are still going to think the Slackers are one the best and most savvy ska-inflected global rock bands you will ever see. There is nothing terribly Bosstone about Vic Ruggiero and this crew.

Their tempos are slack and flexy; their horn charts elegant and witty as all get out, and their lyrics and personae full of devilish pre-modern character, broad global purview and real heart.

They’re simply a great band with great

songs, as has been known far and wide since the ’90s.

If you do like ska, reggae and modern derivatives, circle Saturday, June 11 thrice with highlights, for the Slackers will visit BSP in Kingston. They'll be accompanied by local-and-beyond legends The Big Takeover and the excellent New Paltzheadquartered ska-grass band Los Thujones, whose lead singer Rick Schultz was instrumental in the recent area present of Ruggiero as a solo artist and with the Slackers. Music starts at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, and are available locally at Outdated: an Antique CafÊ and Rocket Number Nine in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, the

In the years since his power pop/emo/modern rock trio Frankie and His Fingers flat out ruled the regional DIY scene and beyond (with the Fingers resurfacing in Battle Ave. and a number of other good bands), McGinnis released a record (Time Travels), wrote and produced a fully credible rock musical and dropped a warped, elliptical EP of moody electro-art song under the alias American Film History (reviewed in these pages). Those, apparently, were Frank’s down years, which is not the title of a Tom Waits album.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

up on the black age of 30 in the postmusic-industry era of the music industry, McGinnis is rather unabashedly (and why should he abash?) ramping up for a bid, no doubt leveraging wisdom gained from all the mistakes he made the first three times around. There’s an EP in the can. I have snuck my peek, and it is really excellent, but the warning shot of McGinnis’ reenergized re-entrance is a non-EP single called “Other People’s Houses� and a spate of shows to introduce his new ensemble and some of the new material.

On “Other People’s Houses,� Frank McGinnis & the perhaps ironically named Whim positively nail a buoyant, mildly funky ’80s electro-pop sensibility, one that actually reaches back to the ’70s for a touch of the yacht. One hears the crisp FM-synthesis jangle of McDonald-era Doobie Brothers and echoes of our own high lama of the form, Robbie Dupree.

The only period anomaly is a certain gelatinous, pitch-queasy warble in the keyboard sound (backed up in the vibrato of the fretless bass) that would have made the Doobies think their kit was broken. It marks the song as a contemporary affair, one that subscribes to the modern indie axiom of sweetness offset: for every ounce a sweet, a gesture of sonic distress and alienation. “Other People’s Houses� is retro pop that is at least 75 percent unironic and not that far out of step with the cultural theory masking as glitz pop that landed HAIM a support slot on a Katy Perry tour (and that left many eight-year-olds scratching their heads in ways that may finally pay off in grad school). May Frank McGinnis & the Whim pull the wool so successfully!

Dude is certainly up to it, but we’ve always known that.

Alas, “Other People’s Houses� is not yet available for your ears as Frank and his people continue to shop it, but it is a delight that awaits you. You won’t have to wait to catch it live, as Frank McGinnis & the Whim headline a night of music at BSP in Kingston on Friday, June 17. Also on the bill are Bobby Pharaoh and Slow Loris. Admission is $6 at the door, and the show starts at 8:30 p.m. BSP is located

MOVIE

Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale in Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship

Wicked wiles of wedlock Love & Friendship puts the caustic back in Austen

S

creenwriter/director Whit Stillman had to sell his Manhattan apartment to make his first feature film, Metropolitan, in 1990. But if money had been no object, it’s a fair bet that he would have been shooting his comedies of manners on country estates in the British Isles a long time ago, rather than populating them with contemporary American preppies and debutantes. Now Stillman’s time to interpret Jane Austen has finally come, and it’s a more auspicious match than the typical Austen heroine ever managed to enjoy.

Based on Lady Susan, an epistolary novella never published in Austen’s lifetime, Whitman’s latest opus Love & Friendship is no Masterpiece Theatre-style exercise in the Regency Period classics.

Rather, it’s a bracing, fast-paced romp that emphasizes the author’s gift for cynical comedy. If anybody gets a romantic happy ending in this society where landing a suitable husband is a woman’s only real shot at financial survival, it’s purely accidental.

Love & Friendship reunites Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny, who costarred in Stillman’s The Last Days of

the story, naïve young Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel), starts off wary of this notorious flirt and quickly ends up making excuses for her as a misunderstood victim of other women’s jealous gossip.

Meanwhile, poor Frederica is desperately-but-politely trying to dodge the amiably dimwitted wealthy suitor whom Lady Susan has lined up for her, Sir James Martin. Tom Bennett, who bears a slight resemblance to the young Michael Palin, gets the film’s wildest comedic turns as a classic upper-class twit only a step or two up the intellectual ladder from Palin’s Python character Mr. Gumby. After seeing this movie, you’ll never be able to face a plateful of peas again without grinning.

Love & Friendship’s splendid cast is filled out by the usual array of aristocratic connections essential to the genre, with the odd onscreen caption thrown in to help you keep track of who’s related to whom and how. The inimitable Stephen Fry doesn’t get nearly enough screentime as Alicia’s much-older husband, who greatly disapproves of Lady Susan’s conniving ways whilst resolutely refusing

to drop dead and leave his American wife his fortune anytime soon.

According to Beckinsale, shooting for Love & Friendship wrapped in a mere 27 days, and the light visual tone and sprightly pacing of the film reflect that breakneck schedule. If you normally avoid costume dramas because you think of them as ponderous, here’s an exception that may tempt you. It’s a mere bagatelle, not very deep or philosophical, but wickedly amusing and a delight to the eye and ear.

The

Disco (1998), as the newly widowed social climber Lady Susan Vernon and her closest confidante and admirer, an American expatriate named Alicia Johnson. Beautiful, smart as a whip and utterly without scruples, Lady Susan is the sort of force of nature who gives Nature a bad name. She wants to remarry posthaste without having to give up her married lover in the process, and – almost as an afterthought – marry off her timid daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) as well. And when Lady Susan sets her sights on some goal, everyone in her path had better get out of the way.

Beckinsale is clearly having the time of her life chewing up the scenery in this high-toned bad-girl role. Lady Susan’s breezy rationalizations of her own manipulative and deceitful behavior, along with her dismissive contempt for anyone less adept at playing the game than she is, are so outrageous that they leave her audiences both onscreen and off slackjawed with awe and almost-admiring disbelief.

Actress/singer/comic Jackie Hoffman at CIA

I N T E R N AT I O N A L DA N C E C E N T E R T I VO L I N Y

KAATSBAAN

“If you hear a noise that threatens to shatter the windows and buckle the sidewalks, it’s only Jackie Hoffman,” Ben Brantley once wrote in The New York Times. With her rubber face, big, belting, screechy voice and no-filters delivery, Hoffman is reminiscent of a younger, raunchier and much more Jewish Carol Burnett (it’s probably not coincidental that she was cast as Princess Winnifred, the role that kicked off Burnett’s career, in last year’s Off-Broadway revival of Once upon a Mattress). She’s a singer, author/performer of original funny songs, an Obie-winning actress (for David and Amy Sedaris’ The Book of Liz) and a veteran standup comic well-trained in improv at Chicago’s Second City. She does lots of TV cameos, one-woman shows and a fair bit of voiceover acting, including the voice of Dilbert’s mom, several inanimate objects on Dora the Explorer, a water cooler in the animated film Robots and even a character in the Grand Theft Auto videogame franchise.

In short, even if you’re not sure that you’ve ever seen Jackie Hoffman in anything, you’ll be sure to hear her coming – on Saturday evening, June 11 at 8:30 p.m., for a solo performance in Hyde Park titled Kvetching at the CIA. This one-night-only special engagement is the latest in the Half Moon Theatre Company’s season of stage presentations at the Culinary Institute of America’s Marriott Pavilion auditorium.

Tickets for Kvetching at the CIA cost $35 for the show only, $55 for prime orchestra seats plus a dessert reception with Hoffman following the show. Go hungry and fill up on $55 worth of orgasmic tiramisu afterwards, or make a reservation at the Ristorante Caterina de’Medici for a special $39 pre-performance dining experience to be served between 5 and 6:15 p.m.

“I

f we can surprise ourselves then there’s already a sense of magic happening,” says Jacob’s Pillow Dance Awardwinner John Heginbotham. He’s referring to Fantasque, a new commission for dance and puppetry that marks the initial collaboration between Heginbotham and Rosendale's Amy Trompetter, longstanding doyenne of the puppet theater world. Set to the music of Ottorino Respighi and Gioachino Rossini, this ballet for all ages will make its official world premiere at Bard College's SummerScape in July. But thanks to Bard and the Center for Creative Education (CCE), you can catch a special presentation of this work-in-progress on Saturday, June 11 at 2 p.m. at the Andy Murphy Midtown Neighborhood Center at 467 Broadway in Kingston.

“Fantasque is a journey. It takes us from an off-kilter world to a joyously balanced world,” says Trompetter. And we get there with the help of mythological characters, created by Trompetter in large puppet forms.

“We are delighted to have the support of Bard's SummerScape in bringing this preview to Kingston,” says Bryant “Drew” Andrews, executive director of CCE. The preview is free and no reservations are required. At the performance, vouchers for free tickets to the performances at the Fisher Center in July will be distributed. The finished version of Fantasque will be presented at SummerScape on July 1, 2 and 3 in the Frank Gehry-designed Fisher Center at Bard.

John Cariani’s Last Gas at Shadowland Good news for typologically challenged drama fans: You no longer need to remember whether Ellenville’s delightfully restored vaudeville house calls itself the Shadowland “Theatre” (correct) or “Theater.” Since the organization has acquired another building on nearby Center Street and is now in the process of adapting part of it into a 99-seat black-box venue for smaller-than-usual productions, the growing arts entity has been rechristened Shadowland Stages.

Shadowland’s 32nd season got underway last Friday with the Hudson Valley premiere of Last Gas, with Brendan Burke directing. It’s the latest bittersweet romantic comedy by John Cariani, whose previous works – including Almost, Maine and Love/Sick – have reportedly helped him surpass William Shakespeare as the most-produced playwright in American high schools. The script for Last Gas is so new that it won’t be published until later this summer.

End Days at Byrdcliffe Theater

E

nd Days, written by Deborah Zoe Laufer, has been called “rapturously funny� and “uplifting, warm, wonderful� and “poignantly redemptive� by critics from Manalapan, Florida to Bangor, Maine to Halberstadt, Germany. They even raved in Salt Lake City, a town where you might not expect a play about a quirky family trying to survive in “a world hurtling toward Armageddon� to make it past opening night. But Woodstock? Of course!

Directed by Voice Theatre’s Shauna Kantor, the production is being staged at the newly air-conditioned Byrdcliffe Theater. Laufer’s characters turn heartfelt beliefs into irreverent comedy as they navigate the tricky road to the apocalypse.

In the context of the play, 16-year-old Rachel Stein is having a bad year. Her father hasn’t changed out of his pajamas since 9/11. Her mother is convinced CNN will be covering the end of the world any moment. Her new neighbor, a bullied 16-year-old Elvis impersonator has fallen for her hard. Her only hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all.

At Byrdcliffe, Rachel Stein is played by Amy Crossman of New York Theatre Workshop, Ensemble Studio Theatre and Shakespeare Theatre in New Jersey fame, with Sean Marrinan as her distraught father, Arthur Stein, and Denise Summerford in the role of the dithering mother, Sylvia Stein. (Summerford is a Drama Desk Award winner for In Transit and has accumulated Broadway credits in the revival of The Rocky Horror Show Live! Taboo and Saturday Night Fever.  You might recognize Marrinan from his appearances on television’s 30 Rock and at Shadowland in Stones in his Pockets and Noises Off.) Devin Doyle plays the young neighbor, Nelson Steinberg, and the Stephen Hawking/Jesus role is double-dutied by Joe Bongiorno.

As artistic director of Voice Theatre, Kanter is pleased to announce the completion of Stage I renovations at Byrdcliffe: the installation of air conditioning.

Stage II will add heat to the building, making it a nine-months-a-year venue for theatrical productions. “This is our fifth year of bringing professional actors and professional theater back to Woodstock,â€? she says. “In conjunction with End Days, we’ve done 53 in-school workshops in six high schools in Ulster County to combat bullying. Students are coming to special student matinĂŠes to see the show.â€? Reserve a seat at the Byrdcliffe, and enjoy a cool evening of laughter. – Ann Hutton End Days, June 9-26, Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m., Sundays, 2 p.m., $25/$20, Byrdcliffe Theater, 380 Upper Byrdcliffe Road, Woodstock; (845) 6790154, http://voicetheatre.org/end-days, www.facebook.com/voicetheatre.

five canvases meant to be viewed as one, Cole painted what he described as “a higher style of landscape,� presenting a moralistic narrative about civilization and the inevitable fall from grace for those in power (a warning, perhaps, to a young country in the process of expansion). The Voyage of Life series combines landscape painting and allegory to point out spiritual challenges faced on the journey through life.

Cole also expressed his views through writing a number of philosophical essays and poetry. And his vision for the burgeoning young nation unfolding around him – seen with particular clarity,

perhaps, as an immigrant who came to this country from England at age 17 – included a definite viewpoint on the architectural shape that it should take. “Cole was thinking holistically,� says Betsy Jacks, executive director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill. “He wasn’t just thinking about painting. He was thinking about all of American culture. He wrote about it, he painted, he designed architecture. It all came together for him, in different ways; it was really about all the different ways he could get across his ideas.�

His luminous canvases depicting the unspoiled 19th-century American wilderness inspired many artists who followed in his footsteps and are seen today as foreshadowing the modern environmental movement.

But Cole saw himself as something more than “a mere leaf painter,� as he noted in his diary. “I have loftier conceptions than any mere combinations of inanimate and uninformed Nature,� he wrote.

are the focus of an exhibit of paintings, drawings and architectural renderings currently on exhibit at Cedar Grove, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site.

The exhibit, curated by scholar Annette Blaugrund with Cedar Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate curator Kate Menconeri, remains on view through October 30.

The centerpiece of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thomas Cole: The Artist as Architect,â&#x20AC;? is one of his betterknown works, The Architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream.

The large painting is composed like a stage setting, curtains parted to reveal a fantasy tableau of architectural styles from Gothic to Greek to the pyramids. An architect reclines in reverie on a column at the center of it all, dreamily surveying the history of architecture and (presumably) imagining where to go next.

The painting, which belongs to the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t traveled for 20 years, notes Jacks, so its presence in Catskill represents a rare opportunity to see this work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thomas Cole: The Artist as Architectâ&#x20AC;? delves into the progression of Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in architecture. An extended painting trip that he took to Europe from 1829 to 1832 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where painting architectural ruins in Italy apparently ignited his interest in the forms of buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; led to Cole producing schematics and elevation drawings for architectural projects that include a monument to George Washington (never built) and his designs for the Ohio State Capitol building.

Cole entered a competition in 1838 to design the Ohio Statehouse, his first such effort. More than 50 architects submitted an entry; Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s came in third. In the end, the commission doing the judging decided to combine elements of the top three entries for the final design. Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seminal

contribution to the project is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

A year later, Cole was commissioned to design a new church for St. Luke’s Episcopal parish in Catskill, whose church had burned down. The design by Cole, a member of the congregation, was executed during the same period of time that he was working on The Architect’s Dream, with interesting parallels visible between the Gothic church in the painting and the design for St. Luke’s. Completed in 1841, the church also contained a trompe l’oeil fresco painted by Cole. Unfortunately, the building no longer exists; it, too, was a casualty of fire (in 1855) and was ultimately torn down.

“Thomas Cole: The Artist as Architect” is the first show to be mounted in Cedar Grove’s new exhibition and lecture space: the “New Studio.” The building is a precise replica of the studio that Cole designed

and built for himself at the site barely a year before his untimely death at age 47 in 1848.

The original New Studio built by Cole – so-called in relation to the “old studio” in which the artist worked at the site (used for seven years, although always meant to be “the temporary painting-room” until he could build a studio) – was torn down in 1973 after having been left to fall into disrepair by later generations of

the Cole family. According to executive director Jacks, when the land left the hands of the Cole family, the new owners of the property demolished the building, intending to build a summer home there.

Nothing was ever built on the land, and the spot remained an empty lot until eventually the Cole family bought the property back.

It was sold again in 1998 to the Greene County Historical Society. The purchase was spearheaded by the late Raymond Beecher, then the Greene County historian. The Cedar Grove site, which opened to the public in 2001 and was under the management of the National Park Service for a time, has been operating independently as the nonprofit Thomas Cole National Historic Site (TCNHS) since 2010.

Several years ago, archaeology was carried out by TCNHS that unearthed the original stone foundation of the studio that Cole designed. Using those stones for the new foundation and referencing photographs and other carefully researched resources, the replica of the New Studio was built exactly as the first was, and on its original footprint. A single acorn-shaped finial from Cole’s original exterior survived (it’s currently stored in the archives), serving as inspiration to recreate the charming design element for the replica.

11 The New Studio stands 24 by 42 feet, a rectangular structure designed somewhat in the style of an Italian villa. The building has windows on the north, south and west that extend nearly to the height of the high ceilings, flooding the room with natural light. Massive doorlike shutters over the windows can be closed top and bottom to control the light, just as the painter would have done in the original building. The wavy glass looks authentic, but is actually newly manufactured to look old, explains Jacks. The studio has an entrance portico facing the main house, with a low-hipped roof and broad eaves. The decorative bargeboards along the eaves have graceful scalloped arches with points suggestive of an acorn, with those acorn-shaped finials ornamenting the corners in Gothic Revival fashion.

The Thomas Cole National Historic Site will use the New Studio as a place for exhibitions and lectures. Its existence owes much to Beecher, who not only was the driving force behind ensuring that the property as a whole would be preserved, but also left behind a $1 million legacy for the site in his 2008 will. According to Jacks, $350,000 went to replicate Cole’s studio, with the remainder permanently restricted to pay for maintenance on the buildings and grounds.

The main house at Cedar Grove, where Cole lived with his family, is open for tours. In an ongoing process of restoration, the walls inside reveal hints of the decorative friezes that Cole painted near the ceiling, covered over time by layers of paint. Cole’s top hat, a guitar case that he made and artifacts of family life (musical instruments, books and such) are on view, along with the artist’s drafting table/desk, artifact case (with bits of rock that Cole collected from Pompeii) and a painted chart that he made for himself to test color relationships.

The “old studio,” located in an old barn/ storehouse, is part of the tour, set up as it was during the seven years that Cole painted there. The family residence that Cole designed and intended to build at the site (the rooms in the main house were rented) never came to fruition due to financial difficulties. Elevation drawings in the current exhibit show that it would have been a villa design of three stories, with a tower that afforded a view of the surrounding Catskill landscape and mountains.

give the paintings a pop punch, the faces achieve an uncanny likeness; anyone who hangs out in Woodstock would instantly recognize some of these characters. Many look directly at you, others look slightly to the side and a few are in profile; these variations, along with differences in lighting, skin color and hair color and style (this being Woodstock, they include a Mohawk, a topknot and Willie Nelson-style bandana) preclude any sense of a formula. Each portrait, which was painted in a single session at the Woodstock Library and finished in the studio with the aid of a photo, has a fresh immediacy, both in terms of capturing a moment in time and the application of paint; the facial features, hair and clothing are conveyed in broad, articulated shapes of color.

Artist Claire Lambe, who worked on the portraits as artist-in-residence at the Woodstock Library for six months in 2015, said that she picked subjects at random from those who signed up as a way to bridge the gap between the town’s insider artists’ community and everyone else living in the village. (Concurrently she was also painting a series of portraits based on photographs of residents from her native Ireland, a tandem project that culminated

in an exhibition last summer at the South Tipperary Art Center in Clonmel, Ireland.)

Lambe’s success in pulling off the project is a testament to her willingness to take risks, her openness with both friends and strangers – a quality that endears her to her portrait-class students at the Woodstock School of Art – and most especially, her powers of observation.

It’s a talent and skill that she began honing decades ago when she was a student at art school and spent the summers in Italy and Greece. The first summer in Italy, after the friend she was supposed to meet didn’t show up, Lambe “had to find a way to survive,” and so she began drawing people in the street. In Sardinia, “The bank manager in a small town heard I could draw portraits, and so he asked me to draw him. I spent the whole afternoon drawing everyone’s

One summer in Italy, after the friend she was supposed to meet didn’t show up, Lambe “had to find a way to survive,” and so she began drawing people in the street.

portrait at the bank.” On subsequent trips to Greece, “I went back to the same village and became more confident. People would loan me chairs and other supplies, and I’d find a spot on the street with good light and spend the summer drawing portraits.”

Lambe’s art shown earlier this spring at Cross Contemporary Art in Saugerties was an entirely different body of work: tottering, gridded high-rises under construction, painted in watercolor, which she observed while spending the winter in Costa Rica with her husband, author and playwright Carey Harrison. Some of the fantastical buildings are dusted with glitter; the cheerful, confettilike colors, signifying the infantile, oblivious holiday spirit of the invaders, imbue the works with bathos. The structures are silly, extravagant but bare-bones, and sinister. They are follies: high-rises being constructed for the tourism industry, some of which are unfinished due to bankruptcy, others luxury apartments under construction in prime areas along the Pacific Coast that obstruct locals’ access to the beach and spoil the view.

“The question I ask is: Can that industry be maintained and grown without compromising the beauty of the country and its ecology, without compromising the quality of life of those who live in those coastal areas, without falling victim to the Midas touch?” she notes in her artist’s statement.

Yet another body of work is currently on display at the Falcon, the popular music club in Marlboro. The group of large, loosely painted and collaged canvases express the nebulousness of memory and the ephemerality of life, which were inspired by the death of Lambe’s sister in 1999. Bits of drawings, photographs, letters, newspaper snippets, maps and other found printed material are collaged into the surface, suggesting mysterious communications, residual memories and metaphysical journeys. The works, many of which incorporate the human figure, were made between 2000 and 2014.

Lambe didn’t expect to be so busy (she’s also working on a project overseen by curator and arts writer Linda Weintraub at the CHRCH Project Space in Cottekill, and had a piece in the recent annual juried show at the Woodstock Artists Association, “Far and Wide”), but her energies remain unflagging: From 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, she will be setting up her easel at the Wired Gallery in High Falls to paint small portraits in acrylic on the spot, which will sell for $100 each. “I’ll do between six and nine portraits total,” she said, noting that people who are interested in a commission can contact her through her Facebook page or website.

Lambe, who was born in a small provincial town in South Tipperary, always drew, which was a blessing to her mother, who had nine children. “My mother used to say I was her easiest child, because all she had to do was give me some crayons and she could ignore me most of the time,” Lambe said. “Drawing was the one quiet and private place to which I could retreat and had some control over.”

Musician Joseph Bertolozzi collecting sounds on the Eiffel Tower in 2013

FRANC PALAIA

EXHIBITION

“PHOTOGRAPHIC DIARY OF JOSEPH BERTOLOZZI’S TOWER MUSIC” AT VASSAR

H

udson Valley photographer Franc Palaia and videographer Joseph Redwood Martinez will exhibit “A Photographic Diary of Joseph Bertolozzi’s Tower Music/Musique de la Tour” between June 14 and June 28 at the James W. Palmer Gallery at Vassar College. The exhibition features photographs by local artist Franc Palaia and a video by Joseph Redwood Martinez, who documented Hudson Valley musician Bertolozzi’s ambitious project to create music from sounds collected while working and recording at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 2013.

“A Photographic Diary” follows the project visually. “Bertolozzi procured official visitor passes, so we had exclusive and thorough access to all parts of the Tower, from the very top to the bowels belowground in the restricted-access engine room,” says Palaia. This enabled Bertolozzi to collect more than 10,000 sounds to compose musical compositions from handrails, benches, stairs, walls, trusses, steel supports and everything in between. The result is a unique look not only at this ambitious musical project, but also a different view of the iconic landmark itself.

The exhibition kicks-off with an opening reception on Tuesday, June 14 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Palaia’s Tower Music book and Bertolozzi’s Tower Music CD will be available for purchase and signing.

oil paints, which made her feel “maybe I was more of an artist.” But due to a lack of instruction, she was ill-prepared when she began attending art school in Cork at age 17 and signed up for a graphic design course, thinking that she would learn to draw comics (DC Comics and R. Crumb were inspirations). Instead, it was about designing logos and matchbooks. “Bored out of my head,” she dropped out, met some hippies from England who were hanging out in the west of Ireland, joined a commune and traveled around Europe, living briefly in Amsterdam and London.

She gave birth to a daughter. After the relationship with the baby’s father ended and she found herself a single parent, she felt the need to “get back to doing art.”

Slightly younger than the other people in her crowd, she was also turned off by the hippie itinerant lifestyle, in which inevitably “The women had babies and cooked rice and beans, and the guys talked about engines and guitars. Most of my youth was about separating myself from the traditional roles my parents had, and living this so-called alternative lifestyle was looking a lot like my parents’.” (Her father ran a clothing store, and when her mom tried to get into the business, he “would try to circumvent that from happening.”)

She went to Dublin and got a full scholarship to the National College of Art and Design; as a single parent, she also qualified for a government allowance and made ends meet by doing odd jobs, such as sign-writing and working in a nightclub. After graduating, she continued making art and exhibiting and got a job teaching art in a German high school in Dublin. Although some of her portraits were included in the Irish National Portrait Exhibition, “It was hard

putting together a body of work with a full-time job,” she recalled. “I was caught between trying to have an art career while supporting my daughter. Exhibiting was a way of keeping my hand in.”

Her life changed after she met and, shortly after, married Carey Harrison.

After the couple had their daughter, Harrison, a writer who had won the Encore Award for his novel Richard’s Feet, wanted a day job; but back then, creative writing was not part of the curriculum at universities in England and Ireland, so instead he looked to America and got a job at Brooklyn College. In 1996 the family moved to New York. For the first time since she was a teenager, Lambe had the opportunity to pursue her art full-time and got an MFA at Brooklyn College. In 2001, the family moved up to Woodstock, where they’d spent weekends, with Harrison commuting to the City.

She hadn’t done portraiture for ten years, but while attending the live-model painting sessions at Brooklyn College, her interest in it had revived. Since then, “I’ve always done it in parallel with other work.” Right around the corner from their house was the Woodstock School of Art, and after attending the open-studio life

sessions with a model, Lambe became monitor and ultimately began teaching portraiture at the school. She also began exhibiting in the area and participated in “Hudson Valley Artists 2012” at the Samuel Dorsky Museum at SUNY-New Paltz and “Peace & Justice” at the Muroff/ Kotler Gallery at SUNY-Ulster in 2015.

She also periodically writes art reviews for the online publication Roll.

She’ll have yet more new opportunities to develop her art this fall, when she and Harrison will leave for nine months in Berlin, where Harrison has been awarded a writing fellowship at Wissenschaftskolleg.

“For me it’s an opportunity to be in a new place,” she said, noting that both her older daughter and Harrison’s children from a previous marriage live in London and will be closer by. “I’ll wait and see when I get there.”

NATURE The game of life Lend a hand at this weekend's BioBlitz at Woodstock's Thorn Preserve "There is no better high than discovery."

- E.O. Wilson

C

itizen science comes to Woodstock this weekend with the second annual BioBlitz at the Thorn Preserve on John Joy Road. The two-day biodiversity extravaganza will have scientists pairing up with students and residents to study the wildlife and plants at the Preserve.

The 60-acre protected property boasts “the most painted views of Overlook Mountain.”

Inspired by E.O. Wilson, the Harvard biologist and champion of biodiversity preservation, the purpose of the BioBlitz is to gather information that will help to understand the biological scope of what’s going on at Thorn Preserve, and how to best manage the property. The earth needs a diverse range of biological organisms to sustain all of life on the planet – to turn and fertilize the soil, to purify the water, to give us the air we breathe and to pollinate our crops. To that end, studying collected data will inform how best to protect the sweeping bird and butterfly grassland habitat, riparian forest and ponds.

No experience is necessary to be a citizen scientist. You accompany the experts into the field to help take notes and photos. If you have a smart phone and know how to take a photo with GPS coordinates, all the better. On Friday and Saturday, you can learn about life in the stream, identify mammal signs and tracks, birds, trees, herbaceous plants, reptiles and amphibians, mushrooms and other fungi, butterflies, invasive plants – and on Friday night after dark, you might see bats, moths, owls and frogs. There will also be presentations on soil types and beekeeping, as well as a discussion of the interrelationships between soil, habitats, organisms and communities of life.

Sponsored by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development and Woodstock Land Conservancy, BioBlitz 2016 is a fun learning opportunity for the whole family. There will be a “Base Camp”

Suzanne Kelly's book Greening Death Just when you think you’ve got your eco-act together – you recycle and reuse and monitor your carbon footprint – along comes the realization of yet another way we humans perpetuate pollution. This time the toxicity is personal, emanating from our very bodies as they “rest in peace” when embalmed with chemical preservatives and disinfectants in air-tight vaults that prevent decomposition. In

this death scenario, our poisonous remains not only take up precious space, but they do so in an environmentally unfriendly manner.

In Greening Death: Reclaiming Burial Practices and Restoring Our Tie to the Earth, Suzanne Kelly’s new book, she advocates for green burial, based on old traditions, as an alternative to the well-established interment standards of modern cemeteries. An independent scholar whose work spans a variety of topics, Kelly examines how the green burial movement is beginning to reclaim those dust-to-dust ways, through the avoidance of embalming chemicals and the use of biodegradable containers. Greening Death traces the philosophical and historical back story to this awakening, while it captures the passionate on-the-ground work of the movement and explores the obstacles getting in the way of more robust mobilization.

Kelly argues that beyond a greener, simpler and more cost-efficient practice lies an even greater promise: the restoration our relationship to nature.

Joe Sehee, founder of the Green Burial Council, has referred to Kelly’s book as “the most engaging examination of our culture’s growing desire to integrate death and life.”

Kelly serves on the advisory council for the Green Burial Council, a not-for-profit organization that sets standards for green burial providers. She writes and farms here in the Hudson Valley, and will be at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock for a reading of Greening Death: Reclaiming Burial Practices and Restoring Our Tie to the Earth this Saturday, June 11 at 4:30 p.m.

Rosendale Plains Cemetery offers green burial options When the original Rosendale Cemetery proved to be too small for the growing communities of Rosendale, Tillson and Bloomington, cement

mine owner A.J. Snyder bought the property and expanded the graveyard parcel down to what is now the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. The Rosendale Plains Cemetery Association has continued this tradition of responding to the greater community’s needs by accommodating those interested in green or natural burials.

NIGHT SKY

Is the Singularity coming?

Do sentient machines pose a looming threat?

S

tephen Hawking made headlines at the end of 2014 when, in a BBC interview, he said that we should be very wary of developing “full artificial intelligence” as it “could spell the end of the human race.”

His doomsday musings were hardly original. SpaceX’s Elon Musk had said the same thing earlier that year, warning that AI is “potentially more dangerous than nukes.”

The worrisome idea of computers possessing greater than human intelligence, coupled with a sudden independent consciousness, was first termed “The Singularity” back in 1993, in a paper by the computer scientist Vernor Vinge. And while his initial predictions about vast computer improvements merely mirrored the foresight of others – like the expected frequent doubling in computer power envisioned by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965 – Vinge believed it would lead to “change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.”

As we all know, computers already control and facilitate much of our daily life from banking to robotic automobile assembly, and no one wants to return to the old days of manual drudgery for menial tasks like repetitive spot welding. We’re even used to machines understanding commands and correctly responding to questions. Major advances are reported annually. Last year a Berkeley, California team unveiled a new, powerful artificial intelligence technique known as “deep learning” that lets a robot quickly learn new tasks with only a small amount of training. That robot rapidly learned to screw the cap on a bottle, even figuring out the need to first apply a slight backward twist to find the thread before turning it the correct way.

The fear generated by the Singularitarians is that artificial intelligence will someday reach a point of complexity where the machines become self-aware. It is this trait that produces the sci-fi fantasies of machines acting for their own purposes in a way that bypasses human control.

We have, of course, seen this theme in the Terminator film series, Westworld (where a gunslinging robot runs amok at a theme park), and in 2001: A Space Odyssey. But there’s a very clear and spooky distinction that arises with singularity. It is one thing for computers to screw up in some fashion that causes us trouble. It is quite another for them to gain perception.

The self-aware creepy business is given credence because it’s promulgated by a few reputable authorities, such as Cornell University computer engineer Hod Lipson. He has pointed out that with ever-growing complexity, computer problems will increasingly require that we design them to deal with split-second issues by adapting and making decisions on their own. As machines get better at learning how to learn, Lipson believes it invariably “leads down the path to consciousness and self-awareness.”

This brings up an important issue: What is the basis of consciousness? With supercomputers improving their capabilities, and speeds of four exaflops per second

In a green burial setting, grave markers are small and flat against the ground, and natural material signage is kept to a minimum. Since 2014, Rosendale Plains Cemetery has offered this green option.

Its natural burial section meets all legal and natural burial ethical/professional standards, with plots situated in fields that are minimally mowed and in wooded areas. Certain rules ensue, such as the restriction on embalming, other than with funeral home-approved, non-toxic chemicals. Burial containers can only be made from materials that are nontoxic/ nonhazardous and natural/plant derived.

Think: untreated softwoods, wool, fiber, cloth, cardboard, sea grass, bamboo, wicker, hemp.

Working with a funeral director to fulfill a natural interment gives people an experience of death care in which they can be involved and satisfied that their own eco-standards are being upheld.

They can be assured their interred are not further polluting the environment; what’s more, green burial practices serve to protect the health of funeral workers, by avoiding contact and interaction with toxic embalming fluids.

At Rosendale Plains Cemetery, family members can even be present and have limited participation in the digging and filling in of the grave. When all is said and done, green burial represents, for many, a satisfying return to a time, not so long ago, when the bereaved lowered their loved ones’ bodies into the ground, knowing that “dust-to-dust” meant decomposition – a true return to the earth.

expected by 2020, might we actually arrive at the singularity – the amazing event predicted by people like futurist Raymond Kurzweil, the man who designed the first text-to-speech synthesizer? In Kurzweil’s 2005 book, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology, he has flat-out predicted that the first computer will become self-aware by 2045. After the arrival of this dreaded Singularity, we humans and animals will be sharing Earth with another intelligence, possibly forever.

Needless to say, all this catches the notice of everyone who knows that the external world and consciousness are linked, if not correlative. So when it comes to predictions of sentient machines, a little skepticism may be realistic. We’ve never seen inanimate material suddenly come to life. Even if future computer brains are designed to more closely match the architecture of ours, why should that bring the silicon entity to true self-awareness? As Dutch computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra said, after winning the 1972 Turing Award, “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”

After all, there is a huge functional gap between the human and the computer mind, and even comparing performance levels is an apples-to-oranges affair. Computers possess vast search engines that can call up data with an efficiency far beyond what human brains can accomplish. But computers fail when it comes to most stone-simple human tasks, like understanding nested structures in the language of someone trying to convey subtle concepts.

But again, lurking behind any capability comparisons is the bedrock issue of what is involved in an entity being conscious. So far, as science is concerned, we must still confess that we simply do not know. It is even possible that the universe is a single consciousness, despite the appearance of countless centers of awareness. When the great physicist Erwin Schrödinger said, “Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth there is only one mind,” it may have seemed illogical, even ridiculous. But it highlights how little we truly know when it comes to the most intimate aspect of reality: the act of being aware.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Getting to the root of it It’s brutal, but plants recover nicely

N

ow that summery weather has blown in and is here to stay, it’s time to plant the greenhouse. Plant the greenhouse? This time of year? Yes. No reason to let all that real estate go to waste through summer.

Ginger plants that I started from supermarket tubers a couple of months ago were crying out to be released from the confines of their four-inch pots.

Warming their bottoms on the seedstarting heating mat pushed them along even when early spring skies were overcast and the greenhouse relatively cool. Ginger is a tropical plant that shivers even when temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

I never could see the rationale for the current interest in growing ginger in northern regions – that is, until I tasted freshly harvested baby ginger. This far north, ginger rarely has time to develop the mature tan-skinned roots that you see in supermarkets. No matter, because immature or “baby” ginger, which is ginger harvested before it matures, is better: a white, tender, tasty tuber. It doesn’t keep or ship as well as mature ginger, which is no problem for backyard growing or local sales.

So four ginger plants went into two greenhouse beds. I’ll dig up the ginger in September, freeing up space for lettuce, celery, kale and other cool-weather saladmakings that will inhabit the winter greenhouse.

One can eat only just so much ginger. (We’re still using last year’s harvest, which, for long-term storage, was sliced thin and put into jars with vinegar.) What about other greenhouse beds that are being vacated as the last of winter’s lettuce, celery, kale and chard get harvested and cleared away?

Cucumbers and melons love heat, so a few extra plants that I started back in early May went into beds.

The permanent fixtures in the greenhouse, the plants that really help the greenhouse earn its keep, are the four fig trees – Bethlehem Black, San Piero, Brown Turkey and Rabbi Samuel – planted right in the ground. The largest of these has a trunk seven inches in diameter. All yield bountiful crops daily in August and September, and less bountiful ones going into October.

In a reversal of fall, tropical and subtropical plants that had been moved into the greenhouse and house are now lined up outdoors, ready to offer fresh black mulberries, Pakistan mulberries, pineapple guavas, pomegranates, Golden Nugget manda-

rins, olives, dwarf Cavendish bananas (probably no fruit from this one, just a very tropical look) and a few other varieties of figs, in pots.

My black mulberry is the species Morus nigra, one of the best-tasting of all fruits, but is not cold-hardy here. Black-colored mulberries that grow all over the place outdoors here are, despite black fruits, species of red or white mulberries, or their hybrids.

Any of my tropical and subtropical plants, given their druthers, would reach eight feet, ten feet or even more feet skyward, and spread their roots many feet in all directions. Here, they can’t do that, or they would be too big to move or to house in winter.

So I mixed up a batch of potting soil and started root pruning. It sounds brutal, and it is; but plants recover nicely, and then happily have new soil to explore.

Basically, I slide a plant out of its pot, stand it upright and then start slicing off the outer edges of the rootball. Pruning shears take care of any roots too large to slice with a knife.

The finished rootball is an inch or two smaller in diameter than it started out.

How much to remove depends on the initial size of the rootball – larger plants get more removed – and, to a lesser degree, the kind of plant. Figs, for instance, tolerate especially brutal treatment.

So much for the roots. To keep it manageable, the plant also needs stem reduction. Some stems get shortened, some are removed in toto and some are left untouched. Who gets what treatment depends, for fruiting plants, on their fruiting habit: just where and how they bear fruit. Figs that bear on new shoots can be pruned rather severely; pineapple guavas bear on new shoots growing off older stems, so only moderate pruning is tolerated so that some older stems are preserved; et cetera.

After root and shoot pruning and a thorough watering, plants are ready for a year or two of good growth before they will again feel constrained.

For a couple of years, a block of coir has sat atop my bale of peat moss.

Peat moss, the product of slow, anaerobic decomposition of organic materials, accumulates, at a snail’s pace, in bogs: an inch or so depth per thousand years. To mine peat, the bog must be first drained. Besides upsetting bogs’ unique ecological habitats, draining the bogs aerates them, sending some of the carbon wafting into the air.

But peat is good stuff for potting mixes. My mixes are made up of equal parts peat moss, soil, compost and perlite, along with sprinklings of soybean meal (for nitrogen) and kelp

(for insurance against lack of any trace elements). Peat’s contribution to the mix is a long-lasting source of organic matter that helps cling to moisture and to nutrients, important in the relative confines of a flower pot.

Coir is marketed as a substitute for peat in potting mixes. A sustainable substitute, made from the fibre left around coconut husks after they’ve been cracked open to remove their meat.

This spring it was time to put that block of coir to the test, with a head to head comparison to peat. (I’ve tried this comparison before, but more casually.)

The block, after slurping up a large volume of warm water, was ready to mix with the same ingredients as I mixed with the peat moss.

Both mixes went into their separately labelled, five-gallon buckets. Each mix then was used to fill one-half of a few GrowEase Seed Starter Kits. Into one of the kits went lettuce seedlings, another got tomato seedlings, and a third got pepper seedlings. The 24 cells of each kit were automatically watered via a capillary mat that sat atop a water reservoir, providing very uniform moisture to all cells within a kit and from one kit to the next.

Drum roll . . . and the winner is . . . well, as I recently wrote, some of this year’s seedlings grew very poorly, perhaps, I’ve hypothesized, due to the soil I used, or the compost, both of which vary some from batch to batch. The overcast, cool conditions in the greenhouse during critical growth periods also could be to blame.

Differences in growth between coirand peat-based mixes were not great, but tipped slightly in favor of the peatbased mix. This, incidentally, jives with my previous, more casual observations.

It also jives with more rigorously planned and executed published research.

The results of all this testing don’t spell continued destruction of peat

bogs. Coir might still be a viable alternative.

Peat and coir are not the same material.

I perhaps should not have used the same ratio for coir as I’ve long used for peat in my mix. There’s some evidence that coir, as it slowly decomposes in a potting mix, can suck up nitrogen at the expense of plants. If so, more soybean meal in my mix could solve that problem. Other nutrients, or lack thereof, could also come into play, as could anti-growth factors, such as phenolics, known to be present in coir.

More playing around is needed with coir.

No need to put all our eggs in one coir basket. Other organic materials can and have fulfilled the niche of peat (and coir). And our culture has no lack of organic “waste” products. Composted bark has been used in commercial mixes for many years, as has sawdust.

More exotic, around here, at least, would be rice hulls.

Home-grown and readily available “organics” for a potting mix would be compost and leaf mold, both of which I’ve used in rougher mixes, such as for temporarily repotting small trees.

The point is that any of these organic materials, including coir, could make a good potting mix if ratios and amounts of other materials are adjusted accordingly. Gardening (and farming) should be, and could be, sustainable – even when it comes to the potting mixes used to raise seedlings or grow potted plants. The other major component of any potting mix is aggregate, for providing good drainage. My mixes use perlite. Not sustainable. More on that another time.

HISTORY

It took two-and-a-half years after Abraham Lincoln’s issuance on January 1, 1863 of the Emancipation Proclamation for the last of America’s slaves to get the word that they had been freed. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865 that Texas finally fell in line with the rest of the country in abolishing human slavery.

I

t took two-and-a-half years after Abraham Lincoln’s issuance on January 1, 1863 of the Emancipation Proclamation for the last of America’s slaves to get the word that they had been freed. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when major general Gordon Granger rode into Galveston with a document called General Order Number 3, that Texas finally fell in line with the rest of the country in abolishing human slavery. Beginning on the first anniversary of that historic event and continuing annually (with varying degrees of participation) ever since, African Americans and their friends and allies have been celebrating the date as Juneteenth. It became a state holiday in New York in 2004.

The City of Kingston has been marking Juneteenth for four years now, though not necessarily on the exact anniversary.

This year’s festivities fall only a day off, on Saturday, June 18 beginning at 5 p.m. The focal point will be the New Progressive Baptist Church, located at 8 Hone Street. Honorees for 2016 will be minister Rita Worthington of the New Progressive Baptist Church and historian/ author A. J. Williams-Myers, professor of Black Studies at SUNY-New Paltz. In his keynote speech, Dr. Williams-Myers will introduce a new community resource that is being named in his honor: the Library at the A. J. Williams-Myers African Roots Community Center, located at 43 Gill Street in Kingston.
