Sometimes themes just come together from disparate entries. This week's newsletter has two events that play with their food. First up is "Grossest," an exploration of the "American Diet" by William Sieruta that promises to mess with our minds and perceptions of what we eat. The show opens this weekend at Elusie Gallery in Easthampton, just around the corner from the local grocery store. Another entry, "Rotating Crops" at Gallery A3 in Amherst, opens July 3rd and toys with the concept of locally grown, this time in reference to the emerging work of local artists. Pick something locally grown and you too can be a hero.
Or you can go a more traditional route and hit the grocery store to marvel at the ever climbing cost of it all. Whatever nourishes you, go out there and get some. On this week's menu are: |

Hansel and Gretel is a musical featuring singing gingerbread people and produced by the same team that brought Sleeping Beauty and Stone Soup to the Williston Theatre Stage. “The shows are going to be a lot of fun for the audience, and kids can look forward to the return of Cow-Cow from last year’s production,“ says David Nields, director of the Williston Theatre.
Both works were adapted by local playwright Noah Smith (The Princess and the Pea and The Bremen Town Musicians). The music and lyrics for Hansel and Gretel were created by David Nields.
All shows are held in the indoor, air-conditioned Williston Theatre and begin at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $5.00. For tickets or further information, please call the box office at (413) 529-3434.

| “My work is an exploration of the relationship between food and identity. My aim is to question our automatic responses and unrealized prejudices towards a certain group of foods I call the “American Diet”. I hope my work playfully challenges the viewer with bizarre juxtapositions calling attention to the absurdity of the unconscious, predisposed “meanings” and value systems we project onto the things that we eat. I hope that these pieces will one day serve as a document of the food and “food products” of the our time and how we relate to them.” My work is a synthesis of the values of Pop Art and Dada in the tradition of by Eduardo Paolozzi and (to a lesser extent) R.B. Kitaj. |

Indian Orchard Exhibits/Events
| Gallery 137 Presents Retrospective: Berenice Michelow |
 |
Artist: Berenice Michelow
Event: Retrospective
Start Date: Saturday May 31st, 2008
End Date: Thursday July 3rd, 2008
Location Name: Gallery 137
Address: 137 Main Street
City, ST: Indian Orchard, MA
Website: www.gallery137.org/current_exhibits.html
|
Berenice Michelow is an accomplished artist renowned for her dramatic works and sensitive portrayals. Michelow's emigration to the United States from her native South Africa in 2004 marked the beginning of the third phase in her career. The first featured her "protest" paintings, symbolic representations of Apartheid's injustice. Works of the second phase were responses to the new South Africa's evolving democracy. Her current phase features impressions of her adopted homeland and its "overwhelming patriotism."
Whether working on canvas or paper, with oils or pastels, in charcoal or 3D UV, Michelow's technical mastery is self-evident, often evincing itself in an unfolding of photographic realism played out in the midst of otherworldly abstraction. Michelow has enjoyed decades of commercial success. In 1979 she represented South Africa at the International Biennale in Valparaiso, Chile. To date she has had 27 private shows worldwide, and her work is held in such high-profile collections as that of the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City. |

Fee: FREE. Resfreshments served. |
Come see what everyone is talking about! Don David does it again with an extraordinary exhibit. The Gallery will continue the exhibit another two weeks plus host another Artist Gallery Talk/ Reception.
This collection of top shelf nature color photographs was created mostly in California. Far from the stereotypical California scenes, these brilliant photos capture and convey strong colors and breathtaking vistas, as well, as close-ups and wildlife images. The photographer, Don David, continues to separate himself from most new England photographers with new work, challenging himself to capture what he sees and feels. "California Dreamin" is a rare must see exhibit. The images are refreshingly different and unique.
Whether his subjects are nature, landscape, or wildlife, Mr. David attempts to portray them as faithfully as he sees the original image, with only the necessary modifications to bring out the natural beauty of the image. All wildlife is photographed in its natural habitat with no artificial setups or lighting. Don attempts to present images that may not ordinarily be observed so that the viewer can discover something new for herself/himself and thus appreciate a unique moment of the beauty in the world around us. Don David's photographs have been recognized with a number of awards.
The Gallery continues to ship any image(s) you purchase, F-R-E-E, to any town /city in the continental USA! Also, we are A-i-r C-o-n-d-t-i-o-n-e-d!!! |

At 1:00 PM every Tuesday, on WXOJ LP, 103.3 (Valley Free Radio), Lit103.3 airs the reading of one or two short stories. If a story is selected for airing it will also be available in print and podcast form on the show's website at http://www.lit1033.com. Each show consists of one or two stories with a total word count of 6,000-9,000 words.
If you would like to submit a story for consideration, email it to lit103.3@comcast.net. DO NOT SEND IT AS AN ATTACHMENT, rather,include it in the body of your email, together with any biographical or other relevant information you'd like read before/after the broadcast.
Because the reading is over the public airwaves FCC guidelines apply. Like Norman Mailer in The Naked and the Dead, the reader can fug around with words to a certain extent, but if the overall sexual content is too explicit it won't work. The explicit original story will be available on the website.

In this class we will learn how to precisely edit image files fast - as much as 4 times faster than in Photoshop.

* How to use the powerful cataloging feature for keeping track of our images.
* How to streamline our work flow, from importing images from our camera to exportation to print and/or the web.

| Beginning with an introduction to fundamental color theory, we will explore the monoprinting techniques that that do not require a press: transfer drawing, offset rolling and easy methods for registering plates. We are interested in the quality of the printed line that you will be able to create in your home without a press. We have a beautiful studio that will allow for working on the press too- with stencils, subtractive techniques, and layering color with waterbased printing inks. These three days will be guided by plenty of demonstrations and lots of free time to develop and move your images into beautiful related series or prints. This could serve as an introduction to printmaking, or as a way to discover ways to print away from the press, or as a vacation from thought to connect with the spontaneous nature of monoprinting. |

| This workshop is a great way to learn all the basics and nuances of "non-toxic" etching. Through the use of many acrylic resist methods participants will become familiar with a variety of contemporary etching techniques. This workshop will feature the multi-plate method of building a full range of values up to an extreme black using etching processes. Participants will begin with a series of soft ground etches on copper to start developing an image. The image will then be transferred to a second plate and both plates will be treated with aquatint. After reworking each plate with burnishing and scraping the first 'linear' plate will continue to be developed with line and soft ground, while the second 'tonal' plate will receive more aquatint. Both plates will be printed in black and add up to a rich full black and a full range of grays. |
