| Wünderarts To Open First Anniversary Exhibition: Gift - On View Aug 2 - Sept 7 |
 |
Event: GIFT and year one done celebration
Start Date: Saturday August 2nd, 2008
End Date: Sunday September 7th, 2008
Location Name: wünderarts
Address: 383 main street
City, ST: amherst, MA
Website: www.wunderarts.com
Fee: free |
wünderarts is pleased to announce the August 2 opening of GIFT, an exhibition featuring paintings by Susannah Auferoth and Hillary Milens, marking the gallery's first anniversary and sponsored in part by The Valley Advocate.
UMASS Fine Arts Program graduate Susannah Auferoth works in her Hatfield studio creating paintings on paper and wood panel that explore color, form, and meaning. While their horizontal orientation and bands of color evoke more traditional land or waterscapes, the inclusion of repeated images or figures in Auferoth’s paintings adds a layer of complexity and mystery while increasing the inherent abstraction of the works.
Hillary Milens, also a graduate of UMASS’ Fine Arts program, began experimenting with drawing and painting after concentrating mainly in sculpture while at UMASS. An exploration of surface, texture, and color, her paintings are made by building up and breaking down the surface of wood by applying layers of paint, scraping into it and marking the surface with various tools and techniques. An interest in repetition, organic form and the meditative process are present in the paintings.
Works by Italian artist Alberto Mancini based on his concurrent exhibition of Emily Dickinson-inspired paintings at Amherst College, will be on view in the rear of wünderarts for the duration of GIFT. For more information, please visit www.emilydickinsonmuseum.org.

| I'll Tell You How The Sun Rose |
 |
Artist: Alberto Mancini
Event: I'll tell you how the Sun rose
Start Date: Saturday August 2nd, 2008
End Date: Sunday August 10th, 2008
Location Name: Eli Marsh Gallery
Address: 105 Fayerweather Hall, Amherst College
City, ST: Amherst, MA
Website: www.emilydickinsonmuseum.org
Fee: free |
I’ll tell you how the Sun rose, an exhibition by Italian artist Alberto Mancini, will be on view at the Eli Marsh Gallery at Amherst College. The exhibit, sponsored by the Emily Dickinson Museum, includes 29 paintings inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson and is on view in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Emily Dickinson International Society (EDIS).
More a conversation with the poet than a systematic interpretation, Mancini’s exhibition has no central thesis, but rather serves as a series of visual rejoinders to Dickinson’s interest in the endless flux of human perception. The artist’s fascination with transfiguration derives in part from a personal encounter with rebirth that took place in 1990, when a cerebral hemorrhage left him in a coma for six weeks and resulted in partial paralysis that lingered for two years. Fighting back from memory loss so profound that for a time he didn't know his name, he witnessed first-hand the way worlds materialize unexpectedly, flooding darkness with light.
Now in his late 40s, Mancini lives in the small village of Atina, between Naples and Rome, where his family has lived for more than 400 years; he also spends part of the year in Easthampton, Mass. His paintings have been exhibited throughout Italy, in Saudi Arabia and Florida and most recently in a solo exhibition at The Morrison Gallery in Kent, Conn. He was the youngest recipient of the Golden Lion Medal, the highest honor awarded by the Ministry of Art and Culture in Venice. |

David's recent work involves reclaiming disposable objects in mass to create two and three dimensional works. Pieces can involve tea bags, matchbook strikes, plastic cutlery, etc. These items are generally disregarded and ignored by the everyday person. Through the gathering of the discards of contemporary culture, he asks the viewer to reconsider the function and value of these objects. He also reassigns their value by re-contextualizing them by creating a piece of art from them. Besides utilizing the formal issues that interest him, based in the Minimalist school, he also is making a commentary on the disposable nature of contemporary culture.

Since it's my birthday, I gave myself the present of the pressure of mounting a retrospective of my artwork, including lots of new paintings and drawings, and sharing some of the stories connected to the pictures, via words or movement or song, in the concert.
Because of all those stories, I call the show 'Storytellers'. The work ranges from oil to graphite, pastel, ceramic tile, and painted wood.
It's a pretty wild assemblage of styles and approaches, but then, so's my life. |

Florence Exhibits/Events
| Brian Fagan And George Monbiot On Climate Change Through History And Necessary Actions |
Event: Writers Voice with Francesca Rheannon on Radio
Start Date: Thursday August 7th, 2008
Reception: Thursday August 7th, 2008 @ 8:00 AM
End Date: Thursday August 7th, 2008
Location Name: 93.3FM WXOJ FM Valley Free Radio
City, ST: Florence, MA
Website: www.writersvoice.net
|
Host Francesca Rheannon talks with author, archeologist and anthropologist Brian Fagan about the Great Medieval Warming. We can draw lessons from its winners, like the Mongols who adapted to the changes, as well as from its losers, like the Maya, who didn’t. Fagan has written extensively about how climate affects the course of human history. His books include THE LONG SUMMER, THE LITTLE ICE AGE and now, THE GREAT WARMING.
Rheannon’s second guest, George Monbiot, says it’s a false assumption to think we can’t afford to make the transition to renewable fuels. Earlier this month, he wrote on his blog Monbiot.com there is no cheap alternative to a green economy. And the famous 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change said that while going green will cost an estimated 1% of the world’s GDP, not doing so would cost as much as 20% of GDP.
Monbiot’s book HEAT, HOW TO STOP THE PLANET FROM BURNING is an essential guide to clear thinking about the climate crisis and solutions. In this abridged version of our interview last year, Monbiot talks about the kind of economic sticks and carrots that could end up not only saving us all a lot of money, but the planet, as well.
And biofeedback pioneer Les Fehmi talks about simple techniques for accessing the right brain’s power of “open-focus†that can heal mind and body and open up the channels of insight. His book is THE OPEN-FOCUS BRAIN. |

Visual shows typically last 3-4 weeks while performance and music are for the evening of the event.

The process is a 3-page form with a series of questions: types of venues interested in, available dates, number of pieces proposed or length of performance, etc. Your answers form the proposal which is then made available to each of the venues. The venues make the selections. Your proposal is available to them for up to one year.

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.

Our lead for the MILLIES stage adaptation had to back out due to scheduling conflicts, so I'm posting an open call. Please re-post on any casting notice boards you wish. Thanks!* Experienced ACTRESS sought for lead role of "Danielle" in one-act play
"Millies: Playing With A Movie" -- the story of a troubled group of mill girls who return from 1912 to convince a bankrupt, thirtysomething millowner
(Danielle) that *her* future is affecting *their* past. This brief play is a simple stage adaptation of scenes from the writer-director's feature film MILLIES tentatively shooting in 2009, and is a unique opportunity to work with the film's writer/director for two special events. Actor MUST look 30-40 age range and be available for all September performances in Lawrence, MA: 3 shows at Bread & Roses Festival on Labor Day (9/01/08) and 8 shows throughout ArtsFest/Trails & Sails Weekend (9/26/08-9/28/08).
