DR. YSAYE MARIA BARNWELL ANCHORED THE A CAPPELLA HARMONIES of Sweet Honey in the Rock for 34 years, but these days she specializes in conducting vocal workshops, and from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28, she’ll be leading a Community Sing. You don’t need to know how to read music to learn how to sing in four-part harmony under Barnwell’s direction.

Sweet Honey in the rabbit hole

Ysaye Barnwell, Alice in Wonderland sesquicentennial highlight Modfest at Vassar

N

ow in its 13th year, Modfest is Vassar College’s annual winter series of free programs and performances celebrating 20th- and 21st-century arts, typically featuring the work of many Vassar faculty members, alumnae and current students. But this year’s unifying thematic element goes back to the 19th century: the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a/k/a Lewis Carroll.

The English mathematician/fantasist never attended Vassar, of course; nor did the biggest-name star booked to perform at Modfest 2015: Ysaye Maria Barnwell.

A tiny, rotund woman with a queenly bearing and a PhD in Craniofacial Studies from the University of Pittsburgh, Barnwell is better-known for her resonant bass voice, which anchored the a cappella harmonies of Sweet Honey in the Rock for 34 years. These days Dr. Barnwell specializes in conducting vocal workshops, and from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28 in the Villard Room on the second floor of Vassar’s Main Building, she’ll be leading a Community Sing. You don’t need to know how to read music to learn how to sing in four-part harmony under Barnwell’s direction; but it would doubtless be a very good idea to arrive early if you want to participate in this kickoff event for Modfest 2015 without having to park at the far end of campus.

This year’s festival, which runs through February 14, is organized thematically around “The Age of Alice: Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Nonsense in Victorian

Wagstaff: Before & after Mapplethorpe signing at Hudson Opera House Sam Wagstaff, the subject of noted photography writer Philip Gefter’s new biography Wagstaff: Before and after Mapplethorpe – set for a booksigning and reading at the Hudson Opera House on Saturday, January 24 – was about as complex a man as he was a massive eminence in the world of late-20 th-century art and taste. He came from New York money, was educated at top East Coast schools and even took part in the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach before joining the field of advertising during its 1950s heyday, and then going back to school to study art history.

Wagstaff worked as a curator at Hartford’s grand Wadsworth Athenaeum, and then the world-class Detroit Institute of Art, before he started running into battles with museum trustees over his increasing draw towards edgier works (such as digging up museum lawns for earthwork pieces). Eventually, he realized that photography was the least recognized, and hence most affordable, of artforms, and started building a collection that, as with his curating, pulled him towards increasingly edgy works yet again.

But that was also with the help of the man with whom Wagstaff will forever be best associated: his partner and protÊgÊ of many years, the artist Robert Mapplethorpe (along with Mapplethorpe’s friend and former lover Patti Smith). Not only did the younger man help expand Wagstaff ’s aesthetic sensibilities, but he also simultaneously introduced his longrepressed friend into new realms of the New York nightlife.

Eventually, Wagstaff sold off his photography collection (to the Getty, in

Los Angeles) and shifted his attentions to the collecting of American silver works.

Gefter, who wrote about photography on staff at The New York Time for years, where he also served as Page One photo editor, is also the author of Photography after Frank (Aperture). – Paul Smart Philip Gefter book-signing/reading, Saturday, January 24, 5 p.m., free, Hudson Opera House, 327 Warren Street, Hudson; (518) 822-1438, www.hudsonoperahouse.org.

Isidro Blasco’s Hudson home becomes art event Ever been to a house being readied for renovation, where everyone takes the opportunity to draw what they will on walls, to use the space in its inbetween stage as an open canvas? The Spanish-born New York-based sculptor/artist artist Isidro Blasco recently bought a home in Hudson that he and his wife plan to move into full-time – but only after they invite a number of artist friends in to have at the place.

Titled Interventions II, and showing only the weekend of January 31/February 1, what has resulted involves seven fellow alumni from the Omi International Arts Center in nearby Ghent, which originally brought Blasco to the area in 2001. “An artist comes into this house and applies his or her understanding of how reality works, how it can be manipulated,� the artist has said of his concept, bringing in artists based on their differences and

what that might imply for their work in his open-armed structure. “We are implicitly rejecting the status quo of the standardized home, where decisions are based on economical or aesthetic factors and not through real perceptions of space and emotions. We look for a new path. An outcome more connected to contemporary inhabitants and users of a home. In doing so, familiar outcomes may find other solutions. Or so we hope.�

Now presented as an Art Omi special project, Interventions II is being described as an investigation into “how the architectural elements of a house might turn out differently from what is generally accepted as normal.� “We’re very excited to see this innovative project taking place in Hudson, says Omi director Ruth Adams. “ This project supports the spirit of experimentation and collaboration that is at the crux of Omi’s residency programs.� “We are sure there are many more options, many more different paths to follow,� adds Blasco, himself now an award-winning artist whose works are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and other major museums. – Paul Smart

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

(On cover and above): Architect Frances Halsband at home in Woodstock

Pioneering architect Frances Halsband got her start on Woodstock’s Village Green

F

rances Halsband began working as an architect when few women were in that profession. Four years after graduating from architecture school at Columbia University in 1968, she and her husband, Robert Kliment, founded their own firm, Kliment Halsband Architects, eventually developing a specialty in cultural and academic institutions. She also served as dean of the School of Architecture at Pratt Institute, was architectural advisor to the US Department of State, Brown and Harvard Universities and Smith College and was a commissioner of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. She was the first woman to be elected president of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and served as president of the Architectural League of New York.

Halsband has reached the heights of her profession, but that hasn’t interfered with her deep engagement with Woodstock,

where she has been a weekend resident since the age of 1. It was in Ulster County that she and her husband got their start, designing the Woodstock Village Green.

Some of the firm’s other local projects include the Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park and the Sangha House for the Zen Mountain Monastery in Mount Tremper. Halsband serves on the board of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild and contributed drawings for the just-published book by Gail Godwin, Publishing: A Writer’s Memoir. She recently spoke about her architectural practice and shared her professional insights with Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods from her Manhattan office.

What prompted your interest in architecture?

My parents had a country house in Woodstock, and when I was a teenager I used to go to the Arts Students’

League’s summer school there. [My instructor] Ed Millman taught art at the Architecture School at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute], and he would take his architecture students to Woodstock. They were 22 or 23 years old and glamorous, fabulous young men. What they were doing and talking about was so interesting. I thought, “I need to be doing this too.”

I was fascinated by the combination of architecture and making drawings, and that it could have a social and cultural purpose.

You’ve attributed your success to being able to listen to different voices and then synthesize that into forms that respond to the aspirations and needs of your clients. That contrasts with the cliché of the architect as someone who imposes his vision upon the world.

For me, design doesn’t start out as an aesthetic approach, but from understanding a place and the people on the

ground. Almost all of our experience is in working with cultural and academic institutions. It’s different from the development world or working for the government. We start by talking to and listening to the clients who will be using the place. We’re trying to find out about everything they want and need, and how they see themselves functioning in the new space.

I do a huge amount of research on the history of place. When you study the history, you find sometimes people are hanging onto an idea of the place that is no longer true, or the opposite. Either way, that is often a key to understanding the place that has been forgotten. What is this place and who are these people? Your job is to synthesize all designs to make the place more real and inspired.

Can you give some examples?

A few years ago we did a master plan for Smith College. They felt they had run out of space and needed to reor-

cessful use for 1,000 years.” He got a stone-and-brick building. You have to be cautious about new materials. You don’t know, for example, if a new sealant holding two pieces of glass together will hold up over time.

What about sustainability? Energyefficiency is obviously a given today.

We’re interested, but very cautious about technology. We try to think of passive systems that will work. Let’s face the building toward the sun and not rely on mechanical things that might not survive. When we were doing the Zen Monastery, we all felt it had to be on the cutting edge of modern environmental systems. We looked at geothermal to heat the building, but when we studied it, it turned out there wasn’t a way to make it cost-effective, because the monks didn’t want air conditioning. When you took out the need for AC, you didn’t need to build an underground system that would provide cooling [as well as heating].

Of course insulation is much better now, and the double- and triple-paned windows are great. Those are passive elements.

When you started your firm in New York City, you also opened an office in

Woodstock. Why? I graduated from Columbia University in 1968, which was an interesting time. Robert Kliment and I decided to get married because it was easier to run a firm that way. Being a twoto-three-person firm in New York City was really painful, so we started what in essence was a country doctor practice in Woodstock. It did save our sanity. We did wonderful projects and felt we were doing good and useful work.

We did a master plan for the Village Green, and would run into the town supervisor at Grand Union and talk about how it was going. In New York City, you’d never run into the mayor!

Tell us more about the Village Green project.

The formal title of the project was The Woodstock Sidewalk District Plan. It was created by two visionary town supervisors, Vern May and Val Cadden. The town, in the early 1970s, was mostly dirt track and some random sidewalks that died out just west of the Tinker Street Bridge. To get to the post office, you had to walk along the side of the road. They hired us to extend and widen the sidewalks, and the two of us got on our bikes and talked to every shopkeeper and property-

owner along the main streets who had to buy into the notion of sidewalks. We also enlarged the Village Green, which had no curbs and was half the size it is now.

The Ashokan Reservoir road system was being rebuilt, and they were replacing beautiful, giant pieces of bluestone with steel fencing, so the town got all those enormous stones and we used them in our plan: as steps where Tinker Street and Mill Hill Road meet the Green. The shopkeepers had to pay extra for bluestone instead of concrete in front of their own properties. We asked people to remember that bluestone was a Woodstock tradition.

Maybe 25 percent went for bluestone.

I always thought the Village Green was the way it is now.

That’s the best gauge of success!

However, at the time we were much attacked. There were intense battles about putting in the sidewalks, which people said was a threat to the rural character of the town. But once it was built, it was a success. The Village Green had been just a little patch of weedy grass, and it has become a central meeting place. The town is more connected.

You also did a project in Kingston.

An early project was the Kingston YWCA. The woman who ran it lived in Woodstock, and the Y wanted to expand. We added on a new building to tie the old buildings together. It was a time of radical feminism: There was a sign on the Y that read, “The hand that rocks the cradle rocks the boat.”

What were the challenges of being a woman in your profession? Was it unusual to be a husband-and-wife team?

We never told anybody we were married because we didn’t want people to think that we’d go home and talk about them, that we’d be a united front against them.

It wouldn’t have been possible for me to run the firm myself back then, because there were people who thought it was weird to have a woman architect, and that still continues. On the other side is the fact that by the 1980s and 1990s, a lot of people were anxious to hire a woman.

The federal government had a program to hire women architects, and colleges and universities, who were our major clients, wanted that diversity. In some ways, it was easier. Our practice grew. Today we have 25 to 30 people in the firm.

working with Smith College and Brown University as an architectural advisor to the Board of Trustees, helping them hire architects. I had the same role at the Federal Reserve Bank: to help them design new banks. You’d see architects marketing themselves to try to get the job and try to figure which architect is hearing what the client is saying, which one can deliver a successful project.

Or you’d see that the architect understood, but it wasn’t evident to the client. I became a better architect from seeing both sides.

I’m not automatically in favor of something simply because it’s new.

How has your professional partnership affected your marriage?

We met at architecture school and worked together for a long time before we got married. We’d both been married before. When you’re working with somebody, you have to have a civilized and mature way to work out problems. You can’t throw pots and pans in the office. We began to think maybe that kind of grownup way of behaving would carry over to our home life, and it did. We have a son, who complained when he was little, “Please don’t make me go to another construction site.”

What was it like serving as a commissioner of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission?

Many people used the Landmarks Commission to complain about everything in their lives and resist change.

The common thread in Landmarks and other advisory panels I have been involved in is getting out of the office and sitting with the general public so that you see architecture from their point of view. You begin to learn how to be a better translator.

Some of the most interesting roles were

Architects obviously have a huge impact on our environment and society.

You just better get it right. Once you get it right, you can do something inspiring. I’m not automatically in favor of something simply because it’s new.

Are you a fan of the new? Is there any style that transcends the current trend?

Everything looks bizarre when it’s new. Things come and go; there was a period where everybody hated Victorian architecture, and then it was “in,” and maybe now it’s fading out again.

Everything comes and goes.

Some things I used to love now seem terrible. My son thinks everything that happened in the 1970s was brilliant.

He came back from Brazil and thought Brasilia was terrific. For me, that was a new idea. One morning you put on the same skirt you always wear and the hem is too long. Styles are like that: Something happens and everything looks funny.

Are you a fan of the Freedom Tower?

It was originally designed to have elaborate architecture on top, which got cut off due to budget considerations. Now you have a giant building with a silly little tower sticking up. It

got beheaded. On the other hand, I was in the new Fulton Street subway station, and the giant oculus is pretty terrific. There’s an amazing huge space and a sense of openness. I’m sorry it cost way too much, but as a piece of architecture it made my life better.

Are you optimistic for the future?

We’re in a fantastic time right now.

My generation went to Cleveland and maybe Paris and thought we were really adventurous. The new generation really sees their lives in the context of the entire world. They think nothing of jumping on a plane to go to Ghana, hopping over to Sweden or visiting a friend on the beach in Brazil. Universities are bringing people here from all over the world, so there’s much more of a cross-cultural exchange. We really do live on the globe.

How did your project with Gail Godwin come about?

Gail and I have been friends for 20 years. Twice we’ve collaborated on books: She writes the text and I make the drawings. It is a wonderful exchange of ideas. Last summer Gail contributed an essay for the catalogue for the Friends of Historic Kingston’s show on IBM, and I made the drawings. Our second book, Publishing: A Writer’s Memoir, has just come out.

I think of our process as creating illuminated manuscripts, or picture books for grownups.

How do you spend your free time?

I do a lot of drawing. I also play the piano. That’s the good thing about being in Woodstock: I can play all night.

Any plans for the future?

I don’t plan things. I take advantage of things as they come along, see what happens next and how I can be a part of that, whether it’s a drawing, a building, a book or meeting different people.

ALMANAC WEEKLY IN THIS CYBERTHRILLER DIRECTED BY MICHAEL MANN, Chris Hemsworth plays Hathaway, a genius hacker sprung from prison to worm out a terrorist who is using code originally designed

Hack job

Slick cyberterrorism thriller Blackhat is mostly empty calories

I

t’s always a little intriguing when a new movie is released and its reviews are all over the map, from one star to five. What did one critic see in this flick, one wonders, that another didn’t? There’s no accounting for taste, of course; but often, such films are worth a look for their strong suits, even if they’re uneven in quality overall and ultimately prove forgettable.

Some would respond, “That’s what DVD releases are for,� saving their ticket-buying dollars for higher priorities while they wait for whatever-it-was to come out on Netflix or show up in the RedBox at the supermarket. But if the main attraction of a middleweight movie is its look, its visual gloss, its snappy editing and striking scenery, then most of the reason to see it will be lost on the small screen.

Such is the case with Blackhat, the new cyberthriller directed by Michael Mann and starring Chris Hemsworth as Hathaway, a genius hacker sprung from prison to worm out a terrorist who is using code originally designed by Hathaway to wreak international havoc.

Timingwise, the stars are well-aligned for Blackhat’s release, as new details of the North Korean government’s embarrassing infiltration of Sony’s computer banks emerge in the news on a daily basis. Here’s what’s right about the movie, besides the always-reliable Viola Davis’ spot-on rendering of an FBI agent assigned to track down a hacker who has blown up a Chinese nuclear plant and spectacularly manipulated soybean prices: Blackhat manages to combine the slick look, exotic locales and propulsive pacing of a James Bond flick with the wonky informationtechnology believability of Citizenfour.

Chris Hemsworth and Tang Wei in Blackhat

True, Bond got into cyberterrorist-stalking first, with 2012’s Skyfall; but Blackhat isn’t quite so cartoony and over-the-top; the evil hacker’s motivation is somewhat more modest than Total World Domination.

(Fangirls of the Hemsworth brothers would doubtless add that the movie also furnishes a satisfying eyeful of shirtless beefcake.)

There’s also a lot wrong about this movie. The admirably-accessible-but-nottoo-vague explanations – both expository and visual, including some snazzy animated sequences of nasty malware snaking through the innards of computer chips like a racing scene from Tron – of how the nameless bad guy (Yorick Van Wangeningen) manages to assail his targets and cover his tracks are about the most plausible elements of a weak and predictable script. Shots of individuals and duos – including Hemsworth and Tang Wei as his love interest, a Chinese

It’s an action movie that paradoxically seems most convincing in its moments of stasis

But foot chases and crowd scenes utterly fail to convince, especially the climactic confrontation at an Indonesian religious festival whose participants seem inexplicably oblivious to the mayhem in their midst.

Visually, Blackhat races along, riveting the eye even as the plot holes mount up and the foreshadowing lands with an obvious thud. Yet it’s an action movie that paradoxically seems most convincing in its moments of stasis, the calm in the midst of the storm. Topical as it may be, the story is too flimsy to bear much dissection after

F

or the past 45 years, thanks to the genius of chef/owner John Novi, the Depuy Canal House Restaurant in the center of the High Falls hamlet has had a well-earned reputation as one of the most extraordinary restaurants not just in Ulster County, but in the entire region. Craig Claiborne wandered into the place unrecognized during its opening year and awarded it his four-star maximum rating, and not because the food conformed to anyone’s preconceived notions of what great food should be like.

The legendary New York Times food critic called Novi’s cooking “incredibly innovative and inspired…I think he began nouvelle cuisine before the term was ever introduced in Europe.”

What Alice Waters was to West Coast fine dining, Novi was to the East. But unlike other pioneers of what became known as the New American Cuisine, he didn’t just emphasize the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients – although he has certainly been a longtime champion of Hudson Valley farm products, and is a board member of the Rondout Valley Growers’ Association (RVGA).

Postcard of the D&H Canal with the Depuy Canal House in the background. The main part of the stone structure now housing the restaurant, originally an inn, was built by Simeon Depuy in 1797 and sold to the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company during the 1830s for use as offices, a store and overnight accommodations for locktenders and passing canalboat operators.

up starting trends throughout the rest of the culinary world. Remember back when it was briefly fashionable for every fancy restaurant to substitute popcorn for croutons in a spinach salad? John Novi’s idea.

Now in his early 70s (but no less a maverick than ever), the chef tried to hang up his apron in 2011, but quickly found that he couldn’t stay away from the Canal House’s kitchen for long, and ended up reopening the restaurant for business, on weekends only, the following year. But always in the back of his mind was the conviction that the 1797 stone building – which he bought for $4,500 in 1964, then spent five years renovating with reverence for historical detail and furnishing with antiques from the canawlers’ heyday –

should ultimately belong to the D&H Canal Historical Society (DHCHS), of which he was a founding board member and past president.

So, coincident with the restaurant’s reopening, DHCHS submitted an application for a large grant from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to finance its acquisition. That first try failed, and so did the second. But the third time’s the charm, they say; and with architect/ planner Jennifer Schwartz Berky of Hone Strategic Development Advisors, LLC, on board to write the grant proposal and the Open Space Institute declaring its willingness to supply the required 50 percent matching funds, the historic preservation organization’s third attempt did indeed prove successful. On December 11, 2014, OPRHP announced that a $500,000 grant had been awarded to DHCHS to acquire the Depuy Canal House.

“This was pie-in-the-sky for three years; now it’s real reality,” exults DHCHS board president Bill Merchant. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for High Falls: getting a museum in the center of town.” Under the terms of the grant, the exhibits and some of the collections of the Society’s D&H Canal Museum – now headquartered in an 1882 former Episcopal church at 23

Mohonk Road and the circa-1860 Shaw House next door – will be moved into the Canal House, which is located only two blocks away, on Route 213. “It’s called the Canal House; we should be there,” says Merchant.

The main part of the stone structure now housing the restaurant, originally an inn, was built by Simeon Depuy in 1797 and sold to the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company during the 1830s for use as offices, a store and overnight accommodations for locktenders and passing c a n a l b o a t operators. The wood-frame wing that houses the restaurant’s kitchen was added later. “The kitchen’s historic itself,” says Merchant, in reference to the interior renovations done by Novi. “It’s part of 20th-century history.”

Before you panic, diehard foodies, about the prospect of never being able to taste John Novi’s cooking ever again if you aren’t a personal friend, take heart: A cooperative arrangement in which the chef continues to use the kitchen that he designed to prepare food to be served in the former Chefs on Fire bistro space in the building’s cellar has not been ruled out as an option, once the museum has taken over the upper two floors for exhibition and storage space. Access to the kitchen by RVGA has also been raised as a possibility.

NIGHT SKY

To space on a private rocket ...and the Halloween accident

O

n October 31, a deadly high-altitude accident destroyed the SS2 space plane. The test flight had been conducted by one of several private spaceship companies founded by multi-billionaires and receiving taxpayer dollars. A bewildering error by the co-pilot, who died, made the experimental ship disintegrate after being dropped by its mother plane at 45,000 feet. It was a disastrous setback.

The space companies are attempting different things. One has already successfully sent unmanned freight supply ships to the International Space Station (ISS). A couple of others, led by people like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson, are striving for space tourism. Branson has received 700 deposits toward the $250,000 ticket price for his “trip to the edge of space.”

I know what you’re thinking: Why are any tax dollars being spent toward helping the idle rich have a few minutes of fun? It’s not a bad question. Still, Allen’s company, Scaled Composites, is in the midst of a three-tiered program that he says represents a metaphorical staircase out of this world. Tier One means suborbital flight to an altitude of 62 miles. Attaining actual Earth orbit would be Tier Two. Anything farther away, like the Moon, is Tier Three. This recent fatal breakup involves a craft of the first tier. The program has already suffered multiple delays, despite the company’s periodic assurances that its space tourism is “just around the corner.”

I wonder how many of those folks who forked over a quarter-million bucks realize what they will be getting when it finally flies. In addition to the considerable risk, that altitude – though claimed to be “the edge of space” – is still far below where auroras glow and meteors zoom. From that height the Earth does not appear round, nor is there any perceptible loss of gravity. Indeed, if any building were that tall and you stood on the roof, you’d feel the same sense of weight as you do at the gym.

The company intends to get around that inconvenience by making the craft fly in an arc for a half-minute, which would simulate weightlessness. This is not difficult. I could make my passengers briefly feel weightless in my own plane, if I were in a sadistic mood and didn’t mind the screaming. Scaled Composites’ tourist flight will perform the maneuver so that customers can say that they escaped Earth’s gravity: totally bogus.

Even space fanatics cannot name the ISS’s current crew or the experiments being performed up there this month

It’s apparent from Merchant’s regard for Novi’s work toward ensuring that the Canal House remains a public asset in perpetuity after his retirement that negotiations between buyer and seller have remained thoroughly amicable. “I want to praise John for his vision,” says Merchant. “He wanted to make sure it was preserved and got into the right hands.”

“I am a family man, not rich,” writes Novi, “however, I am very proud of my life story and how my destiny and instincts led to my gift today of the Depuy Canal House to the D&H Canal Society. I knew 50 years ago what I am doing today; I have always believed that the Depuy House belongs to the community as a public museum securing the history of canal travel and telling the story of the locktenders that lived in the house.”

Still, the ultimate disposition and uses of the building’s spaces lie in the hands of the DHCHS board. “There are no definitive plans for Mr. Novi to stay,” Merchant cautions. “It’s really the early days, because we haven’t met yet [since we got the grant]. We have to do a lot of research to find out what the building needs.” One large challenge will be making public areas of the museum compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, since the building is on the National Register of Historic Properties, which imposes strict limitations on how it can be modernized even for accessibility.

One possible low-tech solution, Merchant suggested, would be to use the second floor for storage of collections only, rather than exhibits. But DHCHS plans to continue its ownership of the existing museum space and Shaw House, so storage isn’t really its primary problem.

Turning the old church building, whose lovely truss-beamed Gothic chapel is already used for weddings and lectures, into an event venue is one option that would serve to generate a new revenue stream for the organization. And the

OPRHP grant doesn’t cover the costs of renovating or operating the relocated museum – only acquisition of the Canal House.

For his part, Merchant is eager to exploit the possibilities offered by the 1,500-square-foot building to mount more of the museum’s ever-growing collection of canal-era artifacts for public display, adding exhibits that are hands-on and interactive. “We’re hoping to double attendance,” he says. Another exciting attraction of the Canal House is the fact that the Five Locks Walk, a linear park that follows a stretch of canal ruins, begins at the High Falls Village Green right next door to the restaurant. Guided walking tours of the trail – some featuring winetastings – are among DHCHS’s most popular fundraising events. “I’m looking forward in a couple of years to being able to walk outside my doors and start the tour,” Merchant says with relish.

Only time will tell whether New American Cuisine and mid-19th-century industrial history will both remain part of a museumgoer’s experience in High Falls once the property changes hands.

But John Novi has proven time and again that oddly assorted ingredients can often meld in an appealing dish, so maybe the D&H Canal Museum can become a living example of that cultural philosophy. Meanwhile, it will likely take many months for New York State to issue the grant check, so he’s planning to reopen the restaurant after its winter hiatus on Valentine’s Day weekend and

International Space Station Expedition 42 Commander Barry Wilmore and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti answer questions posed by reporters last month

Even getting to that 62-mile height is not easy if any degree of safety is important, which it is. Still, the craft must only attain a speed of 2,000 miles per hour, which is not much more than the Concorde cruised at. To reach low Earth orbit, by comparison, requires 17,000 miles per hour. It’s a huge jump.

The other big plan announced by two private space companies is the mining of asteroids. The idea is to reach a near-Earth rock the size of a small mountain, of the variety that has rich metallic ores. The ship would attach rockets or a towline and haul it back to Earth orbit, where the minerals can be mined and returned to the surface.

Recently, the companies announced that they’ve changed their target motherlode to ice rather than minerals, since nothing in space is more precious than water. However, the experts we’ve interviewed at Astronomy magazine tell us that it’s very hard to imagine this mining scenario making any kind of economic sense.

Privatizing space enterprises may or may not be a good idea. And it may or may not reap any benefits for most of us. But as the Halloween accident demonstrated, it will be a while before we start commercially romping at even the edges of space.

Perhaps we should collectively decide what we really want to do. The ISS is a reality, and it’s inspirational that humans orbit our world for peaceful pursuits. However, the practical benefits of expensively keeping people 250 miles above the ground, onethousandth the distance to the Moon, is a little harder to discern. Even space fanatics like myself cannot name the ISS’s current crew or the experiments being performed up there this month. With Mars decades away, and no other planet offering conditions that could allow manned visitation, we are in an odd period when it comes to human space travel.

Tourism for the ultra-rich? Impractical asteroid mining? Circling round and round our planet in low orbit? It’s not at all clear what we should be doing.

continue operating it on weekends this spring and summer. Hours of operation and the current menu are posted on the Depuy Canal House website at www. depuycanalhouse.com.

According to Merchant, the board’s target date is to be moved in and set up in time for DHCHS’s 50th anniversary in 2016: “We’ll probably start our capital campaign before the acquisition.” The next big fundraising event on the organization’s schedule is a Mothers’ Day Gala on Friday, May 8, and others will follow as DHCHS gears up to replace the Canal House roof

and complete other renovations needed before the museum can move in. Check out the campaign’s progress on the D&H Museum’s Facebook page or by visiting its website at http://canalmuseum.org.

SEVERAL SONGS HERE (“When the Waters Rise” and “Oil Trains”) are cautionary environmentalist ballads.

Bluebird released

C. B. Smith & the Lucky Devils celebrate new CD at Kleinert in Woodstock on Saturday

T

he music of C. B. Smith and the Lucky Devils rather perfectly illustrates a point I have been trying to make about the contemporary roots genre for a while now. How convenient. Smith’s new album Bluebird serves up ten classicist folk, bluegrass and rural blues originals that aspire to be songs that you already knew but didn’t know you knew until you heard them. That’s how John Hiatt described how he knows when he has written a potentially successful song: It’s half-familiar and coming from a time in your life that you can’t quite place. It’s new, but it was already always there.

In a genre prone to retrofundamentalism and affectations of Old World authenticity, C. B Smith and company don’t go over the top with the stylings and the wardrobe. As a writer and singer, Smith is interested in both the timelessness of folk and its relevance as a newsy medium.

Several songs here (“When the Waters Rise” and “Oil Trains”) are cautionary environmentalist ballads. Others, such as the delightful “Calamity Jane,” deal adeptly in American Myth.

Still another facet of Smith’s writing tends toward the literate/confessional.

The album opening title track finds an analogue in the animal world for the persona’s surprisingly unsettled and undirected life. “Silver & Gold” celebrates late-life companionship. “The Highway” is a classic rambling-man road song – one that quotes at length the Rolling Stone’s “No Expectations.”

Bluebird is essentially a live-in-thestudio record from a lithe, lyrical and

capable bunch of string players: Smith on guitar and mandolin, Megan Gugliotta providing fills and filigree on violin and cello and Bill Strohm as the one-man rhythm section on upright bass. All three sing, with Smith’s muscular and quavering voice huge and privileged in the mixes.

Much to its credit, Bluebird is soft-sell with its roots authenticity. Smith is more interested in good songcraft and universal emotion than in fashionable antiquing and the artifacts of the old weird America.

His definition of folk authenticity makes ample room for contemporary relevance and modern life.

C. B. Smith and the Lucky Devils celebrate the release of Bluebird on Saturday, January 24 at the Kleinert/ James Center for the Arts in Woodstock.

and fedoras. It is polluted folk, folk damaged in transit and snuck across guarded borders, surreal confessional folk that had to wriggle and waft its way through multiple levels of radio interference, interdimensional jitter and warping on its way from the unconscious mind to Bandcamp.

Twenty-six disturbed and remote minutes of self-sullied beauty are this record: assured and articulate folk/pop melodies from a guy who has written more than a few, filtered aggressively and positioned in an obscure, not very comforting reverb-world, surrounded by blooming synthesizer blobs, astronaut nausea and moon waves. The visually evocative sound design – elliptical, slow and creeping – feels like a sonic metaphor for the quarantined and censored parts of the mind and heart that are here sort-ofalmost allowed to speak.

McGinniss playfully refers to himself as hewhomustnotbenamed, and these tunes – wrenching breakup songs, at the end of the day – might as well be called thosethingsthatshallnotbesaid. Their raw, emotional messages do arrive intact, but deeply altered by dream logic and the impurities and anomalies of deep image translation.

The Grizzliest Thing I Know is savvy in its structure and its emotional progression. Seated right in its obscure middle, like an oasis, is the five-plusminute gem of a dream pop tune “:the part where I go missing,” which features a) the album’s only proper drumbeat, b) a strange and lovely dual guitar solo right out of the Tweedy/Cline catalogue and c) a faux thematic resolution: a closing line of such stunning clarity and finality that you will take the bait, even though you should know better: “ i will walk in some direction/only carrying sad clichés and the clothes that i wore that day/only miss me if you’re stupid/ let me be a collection

artha Redbone’s newest album, The Garden of Love, is a rare work of epic, progressive blues and bicentenary, bicontinental fusion. On it, Redbone sets the mad, inspired Romantic poetry of William Blake in a variety of roots and blues styles: folk, country, Piedmont blues, gospel, honky-tonk and the traditional Appalachian music of Redbone’s childhood years in Black Mountain. It’s an epic and ambitious undertaking.

The Martha Redbone Roots Project appears at the Towne Crier Café in Beacon on Friday, January 23 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon. For more information, call (845) 855-1300 or visit www.townecrier.com.

man knows how to rock a basement, but Americanfilmhistory is not the first evidence of a conceptual ambition beyond the scope of guitar pop (he has composed and staged a full-length work of musical theater, for example). This strategy of smeared bedroom pop, long-distance folk and polluted prettiness is hardly novel anymore, so it all comes down to the imagination of the execution and to the quality of the tunes that are being so (mis)treated.

Americanfilmhistory scores on all these counts. It is defiantly not-foreveryone, but it is an immersive, lovely and upsetting treat from a talented cat.

eppe Gambetta is a sparkling acoustic guitarist in a kind of luminous pan-roots mode. His cascading lines and arpeggios are indeed virtuosic and unique in their execution, but the technique never overshadows the shimmering melodicism, drama and melancholia of his ideas and compositions. It is celestial roots music played with an intent that is not so far removed from the transformational ends of New Age music, but with more upsetting dynamics.

Hardie Truesdale exhibition opens Saturday in New Paltz

T

he photographer Hardie Truesdale, who’ll be the focus of a one-man retrospective at New Paltz’s veteran Mark Gruber Gallery starting on Saturday, January 24, has become so good at what he does that his vision of the Shawangunks, Catskills and Hudson Valley (along with Cape Cod and other sites up and down the East Coast) has become what we see when we shut our eyes and think of such places, or try to explain them to others. He has been honing his craft for 45 years now, at first studying with masters, and then eschewing outside influences simply to follow his true love: the natural world that he aims to capture on film.

“I am most interested in capturing nature in dramatic yet subtle circumstances: rain, sleet, snow or mist, when the mood and quality of light is intensified,” he writes of what drives him. “I started working with large- and medium-format cameras because of their clarity and the ability they have to capture texture and detail. It also forced me to work more slowly and patiently, so that I really ‘see’ what I am photographing.”

Call the results, all as meticulously printed, a visual equivalent of Thoreau, Burroughs and Muir. “I think it may be even harder now in these difficult commercial times to find not just the peace and tranquility that Thoreau found at Walden Pond, but the truth in what he was seeking,” Truesdale has said. His work may just make that search all that much easier, though.

– Paul Smart “Hardie Truesdale: The Shawangunks to Cape Cod” opening reception, Saturday, January 24, through March 7, Mark Gruber Gallery, New Paltz Plaza, Route 299, New Paltz; (845) 255-1241, www.markgrubergallery.com.

PLACE

Art house How the creative efforts of WPA artist Thomas Weeks Barrett, Jr. changed this region

W

hen American regionalist painter, muralist and printmaker Thomas Weeks Barrett, Jr. (1902-1947) came home to his native Poughkeepsie after working as a muralist for the Treasury Relief Art Project and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Art Project in the early 1930s, he expressed his idealistic nature and desire for a better society by creating a community art organization. Interested in both the social and the societal value of art, he founded the Dutchess County Art Association (DCAA), seeking to cultivate an appreciation in the region for the visual arts. He invited local artists to meet in his own home at 55 Noxon Street, and served as the group’s president. Barrett initially organized exhibitions for the DCAA in shops, hotels and at the county fair, but his real interest was in establishing a permanent home for local art.

After his death, his sister Betty continued to live in the house until she died in the 1960s. She willed the house to the Dutchess County Art Association that her brother had founded, and it finally became the community art center that Thomas Barrett had envisioned. Today his original studio on the third floor, complete with photographic darkroom equipment and a two-foot-wide Martech Etching press, can be rented by the half-day, and what is now known as the Barrett Art Center offers art exhibitions, lectures and classes.

One of the oldest arts organizations in the Hudson Valley, the nonprofit Barrett Art Center is in the process of reorganization, says artist Ellen Metzger O’Shea, the current president of the board of directors. Now completely volunteer-run, the organization recently sold the Barrett Clay Works on Main Street in order to concentrate its finances at the main building and be able to continue to offer a meeting place for art enthusiasts and artists.

The next exhibition at 55 Noxon Street will be “Four 4 Four 2015,” opening on Friday, January 23 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will remain on view through Friday, February 27. The exhibit features the work of Maria Kolodziej-Zincio of Hudson, José Gomez of Poughkeepsie, K. D. Schmitz of Poughkeepsie and Gregory Pepe of New York City.

The annual fundraiser for the art center, “100 for $100,” will be held on Sunday, February 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Locust Grove on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie. The event was first held about eight or nine years ago, says Metzger O’Shea. “We invite 100 artists to donate an original work and sell numbered tickets for $100. The viewing of the works is at 4 p.m., and then at 5 p.m. we pull the numbers.” And many of the participating artists normally sell their work for “much more” than $100, she adds.

The ticketholder whose number is drawn chooses the work he or she wants, and the ticket price includes the catered hors d’oeuvres reception at the event by Gourmet to Go from Millbrook. Wine will be provided by the Millbrook Winery. Tickets for the event are available for purchase at the Art Center or online through www. barrettartcenter.org. Those who’d like to enjoy the reception at the event without purchasing art can buy tickets for $25.

Membership for the Barrett Art Center fluctuates, says Metzger O’Shea, currently numbering approximately 200. Basic membership costs $50, with $30 senior and student discounted rates as well as family pricing. Membership entitles a person to discounts at Catskill Art Supply and other local art supply shops, and members can enter their works in the non-juried member shows held two to three times per year.

Painting and photography classes and open sessions for life drawing are offered, and there’s a Tuesday-night lecture series that will begin in February. Eight drop-in sessions from 6 to 8 p.m. at $10 each will focus on different aspects of American painting, with lectures by P. Emmett McLaughlin, artist and adjunct professor of Art at Dutchess Community College. The first session will be held on Tuesday, February 24 covering Colonial Era artists (Copley, Stuart, Peale and more), followed by a lecture

Two national juried exhibits for emerging artists are held at the Barrett Art Center every year

Shakes, Lake Street Dive and a number of local notables such as Marco Benevento, Amy Helm and Larry Campbell & Theresa Williams, in addition to such evergreen jam stalwarts as Gov’t Mule, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and moe.

Irish Music Night in Saugerties The weather’s frightly, the dark-

ness still unsightly. What better tonic than some good old traditional Irish music in a large publike atmosphere, complete with good grog and great eats? That is just what the alwayspercolating New World Home Cooking, located between Saugerties and Woodstock, is offering up in a special event on Saturday evening, January 24, when four-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion Dylan Foley plays for three hours, accompanied by guitarist Rob Stein. Talk about chasing those winter blues away, and finding ways to utilize that specter of cabin fever to spur some rousing fun.

I pledge to read the printed word It’s a movement that’s catching on. It’s not hard to see why. Studies show readers retain more when they read on paper compared to a screen. And in a world bent on speeding us up, it’s nice to sit back and relax with the paper. That’s why ulster publishing—while exploring the web—remains committed to our newspapers, which are printed sustainably on recycled paper when possible. r e a d t h e p r i n t e d w o r d. o r g

Interested in both the social and the societal value of art, Thomas Weeks Barrett, Jr. (above), founded the Dutchess County Art Association and invited local artists to meet in his own home at 55 Noxon Street in Poughkeepsie.

on Tuesday, March 3 on the Hudson River School painters. Successive Tuesdays through April 14 will highlight 19th-century painters, American Impressionists, early 20th-century painters, the New York School, Pop artists, Bay Area artists and beyond. Any sessions not held due to inclement weather will be made up on snow dates of April 21 and 28.

Two national juried exhibits for emerging artists are held at the Barrett Art Center every year: “Photoworks” in the late spring, highlighting photography, and “New Directions” in the autumn, showcasing contemporary artists working in any medium. The dates for this year’s exhibits are not yet set, says Metzger O’Shea, but she notes that the shows attract hundreds of entries from across the country every year – particularly because the exhibits are juried by a curator of note from a major institution. Last year’s juror for “New Directions,” for example, was Lynne Warren, a well-respected curator from the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in Chicago.

Submissions for the shows are done through www.callforentry.org, also known as CaFÉ, an Internet-based service that allows organizations and administrators to manage artist-application and jury processes related to calls for entry and other such events easily and cost-effectively.

Metzger O’Shea says that the organization is in talks with Vassar College, too, with hopes that it will purchase some of Thomas Barrett’s prints for its print collection at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center on campus. Barrett did a lot of woodcuts, she says, primarily of Poughkeepsie scenes and regional subjects. “Nothing is decided yet,” she adds, “but we’re hopeful.”

Regular hours at the Barrett Art Center are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Green and leafy Three great gardening books to while away the winter

I

’ve been gardening for more than 30 years. Don’t be impressed: The number of years spent with hands in the dirt doesn’t necessarily confer any particular expertise in the field (pun intended). Some gardeners do the same foolish things year in and year out, or never sufficiently investigate other, perhaps better, ways of doing what they’ve been doing – or not appreciate cause and effect. (Was it really the compost tea spray that led to bountiful yields last year, or was it reliable rainfall interspersed with bright, sunny days? The tendency is to hold the former responsible.) Or the wizened old gardener’s wealth of knowledge might not extend beyond what they’ve grown on their own “back forty,� severely limiting the benefit

of any wisdom passed on to others with a shorter history of gardening.

Reading is an efficient way to squeeze the wisdom of others, reflecting decades of digging, pruning and seed-sowing, into just a few years for yourself – depending, of course, on the weight of the words.

The fact that so many gardeners have always gotten by with little or no reading is testimonial to millions of years of evolution that makes every pea seed naturally want to grow and every apple tree naturally want to bear fruit.

So, in the spirit of becoming better gardeners – especially this time of year, with nothing to do in the garden – let’s thumb through the pages of three worthy books that recently found a place on my desk.

It wasn’t until near the end of ed by Jan van der the 19th century that technology and th marketing brought hoses into more Heijden in the 17 century? Tarred cangeneral use in gardens.

Just imagine having to water your vas, linen and handgarden with repeated trips to the spigot stitched lengths of with your watering can: another of Mr. leather pipe were all Laws’ 50 Tools. Not that the garden hose predecessors of the modern garden has displaced watering cans, which have hose, all of which I learned from Bill

been around in various incarnations for hundreds of years and may have reached their peak in functional and visual elegance with the work of John and Arthur Haws. Haws cans are still made; my two-gallon galvanized Haws watering cans have served me and my plants well for over 20 years.

Fifty Tools will not, admittedly, make anyone a better gardener. Instead, it’s a very interesting history of 50 gardening tools with (okay, this might be some help in the garden) sidebars, “Tools in Action,” telling of the best use of each tool. Some listings are a stretch of the word “tool:”

a radio, a scarecrow, separate entries for plant container, terracotta pot and stoneware urn? I would have included the garden cart, pitchfork and hori-hori knife as necessary garden accoutrements.

In and Out of Paris: Gardens of Secret Delight by Zahid Sardar, with photographs by Marion Brenner, is slightly more practical than A History of the Garden in 50 Tools, even if I’m not planning to garden in Paris or like a king. The first section, eye candy, has the usual gardens of a literally majestic scale: Versailles, the Tuileries,

Vaux-le-Vicomte et cetera.

Sections on private gardens are more inspirational for us non-royalty. Most of the gardens, whether majestic or small, are typically French, with long views or symmetric arrangements. Not one of the gardens, though: the 1,000-square-foot Japanese garden near the Bastille, with carefully placed – but not seemingly so – boulders nestled into mosses, lichen bordering a koi pond. Walls shield the garden from the sight and sound of the surrounding city, the effect softened with clumps of bamboo and a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees.

One of the most interesting gardens is the Experimental Parc Méry-surOise, which started life as the historic Renaissance-era Chateau de Méry-surOise. More recently, in 1999, the grounds were redone, this time with water features: not traditional fountains, but misty, hot, cold, brackish and mineralized water that rains down from above or tumbles over waterfalls. Long-term goals (the “Experimental” part of the garden) include observations of the effects of the various waters on plants and the ecosystem over time. Elsewhere are freestanding gabion walls planned for vertical gardens. That never happened: Money ran out and the gardens have been neglected since 2003 – a modern neglected garden!

In all honesty, I mostly just looked at the beautiful photographs of In and Out of Paris: Gardens of Secret Delight.

Even if you are a backyard gardener rather than a market gardener, The Market Gardener by Jean-Martin Fortier will have you harvesting more and better tomatoes, and with less effort.

Two themes of this book, as I see it, are planning and recordkeeping. The author is a successful market gardener in Quebec, grossing over $100,000 annually from a mere acre-and-a-half

The growing units on Fortier’s farm are raised beds 100 feet long by 30 inches wide. Having all beds the same makes it easy for him to calculate the amount of compost needed and keep track of yields.

The latter are spelled out in a handy chart showing days to maturity and yield of individual vegetables per 100-foot bed. I haven’t calculated yields from my 17-footby-36-inch-wide beds, but I do know that I need to plant four beds at two-week intervals to harvest our fill of sweet corn to enjoy during summer and, frozen, through winter.

Another useful table spells out spacing of transplants, in flats and in beds, and another lists dollars reaped per bed from various vegetables. The only other gardening book that quantifies small-scale vegetable-growing so well – in this case, strictly backyard growing – is Burrage on Vegetables, from 1954, by Albert Burrage.

How times have changed: Burrage is pictured in his garden in sport coat and bowtie; farmers in Fortier’s book are pictured dressed as…well, farmers.

The book also has the requisite listing of each vegetable along with growing information, as well as useful chapters on soil care (generally good, but with some misconceptions) and microclimate. One particularly simple, cheap-yet-innovative technique described for weed control after harvest, between plantings, is covering a bed for two weeks with a reusable sixmillimeter-thick black silage tarp.

Fortier emphasizes that it is possible for farming and gardening to be, at the same time, productive and bucolic only with planning and organization to avoid wasting time. In so doing, he can be a farmer who can put in a workday from a reasonable 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Charles Dudley Warner wrote in his 1870 classic My Summer in the Garden, “Blessed be agriculture! If one does not have too much of it.” I agree.

Last-minute but well worth considering: The annual winter conference for NY-NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) takes place this weekend, January 23 to 25 in Saratoga. For more information, visit www. nofany.org/events/winter-conference.

I’ll be there, doing presentations on grapes, hardy kiwifruits and pawpaw.

BRRRRR! Baby its cold outside, so bundle up and stay warm on your house hunt (or anytime you venture out). Yesterday I was waiting for a bus and the woman next to me, texting on her phone, mentioned that she makes a lot of mistakes texting in the cold. I told her it was an early sign of typothermia… she sat in a seat far away from me.

I’m always asked by home buyers which is the best kind of heat in our area; gas, oil, or electric? I tell them Chihuahuas! Our manager Mitch swears by them. He sleeps with a set of them; in fact he has named the female “Hot Water Bottle.”

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine).

It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sellthis would be a perfect way to unload it.

Please give John a call for more details(845)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.
