| Staycation |
| |
Staycation. It's the hottest, new buzzword of the summer. It's supposed to mean that that one chooses to "Stay" at home for "Vacation" to enjoy all its comforts. Doesn't that sound better than those %&*$!!!-damn gas prices have made it too expensive to fill up my tank? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
But, if you're "staycating," take heart; there are some fun things to do this week.

Second Chance to See the OZ Exhibit!!!
'There's No Place Like Home!' This theme, which has resonated in Terry Rooney's work for years, has finally led her down the yellow brick road to OZ. As she began the first several pieces for the Oz body of work, she noticed that she kept painting pictures of the Oz characters from the knees down. She realized that she was channeling Toto and painting from his perspective! The general public is invited to bring their 'ruby slippers' (any type of red shoe will do!) to the reception, and help celebrate the OZ story by participating in an installation piece during the Art Walk Easthampton. The artist has also invites the general public to come as their favorite character. This exhibition will also feature the collection of OZ memorabilia from Dee Michel of Northampton. Follow the red footprints to Nashawannuck Gallery to the opening of OZ: from Toto's point of view. |

| "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. |

Host Francesca Rheannon talks with reporter and author Melody Petersen about OUR DAILY MEDS. It’s about how the pharmaceutical industry has put marketing above medicine and corrupted our health care system in the process.
Every five minutes, another American dies from taking their prescription medicine –as prescribed. Kids as young as preschoolers are taking powerful prescription drugs, like Ritalin and antipsychotics, whose safety has never been tested in children. And doctors are on the take, feted at junkets costing thousands of dollars, paid tens of thousands to sign their names to articles written by drug company marketers, and pressured to give the newest, least tested drugs to their patients instead of cheaper, safer and effective older ones. They’ve also created new illnesses out of common human conditions–like shyness or heartburn–so they can push more drugs into the marketplace. Melody Petersen’s subtitle to OUR DAILY MEDS says it all: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription D
rugs.
We also play a clip from an archived interview with Maxine Kumin. We talk to her about her poem “Nurtureâ€. |

Lightroom is the new image processing and cataloging program made exclusively for photographers by the geniuses behind Photoshop. In this class we will learn how to precisely edit image files fast - as much as 4 times faster than in Photoshop. Along the way we will learn what characteristics distinguish a great image from a photography professional with over 25 years experience. Highlights from the class include:
* 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.
* How to make powerful corrections to color and exposure.

| 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. |

This is a great opportunity to learn stonecarving techniques from the valley's own master carver, Tim de Christopher. Tim was a carver and architect at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, and is now founding a new workshop for training carvers to work on the development of his own masterwork, The Cathedral Project, in Turners Falls.
Classes will be taught in an apprenticeship fashion, on a flexible, ongoing basis. After the initial class, students can continue indefinitely, at a modest price, as members of the fully equipped caving studio.
Each student/apprentice will learn the basic skills of direct carving in Indiana Limestone. This will include training in conceptualizing and visualizing three-dimensional form, an introduction to materials and methods, basic skills in hand and power tools, roughing out, refining, and finishing the work. There will also be opportunity to learn how to safely handle the stone and execute installations, which will include the use of the forklift and specialized lifting equipment.
All tools and materials are provided in the course fee. |
