LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

“Hold fast to dreams,

for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

” — Langston Hughes Photo Credit: Andrew Scott

Time flies, as they say, and we are officially celebrating three years in print! We are delighted to see how the trajectory of our original dream has developed and flourished into something we never could have imagined.

Let’s avoid the fluff and get right down to brass tacks—at the heart of this issue is gratitude.

Art Hive was always meant to inspire, motivate, collaborate with the community, and celebrate the arts in all creative disciplines. As time passed, we noticed a common thread that all of our interviewees expressed: they were all grateful. They are all consciously aware of how amazing it truly is to be able to share their creative passions with the world.

We ultimately want the same for you—to inspire you to create.

A big thank you to our family, friends, and loyal readers for showing your support through social media and events!

CONTRIBUTORS What’s Your Creative New Year’s Resolution For 2016?

BRUCE HELANDER

brucehelander.com /// Instagram/bhelander

“See the ‘once in a lifetime’ Picasso sculpture show at MoMA and the Frank Stella survey at the new Whitney in Manhattan before they close in February. Push myself to get up earlier on Sundays, so I don’t miss “the ultimate find” (whatever that object might be!) at my favorite local flea markets. Finish the weekday’s work by 9:00 p.m. in order to watch Rachel Maddow on time.”

ANDY WINNINGER

“To produce more, to find new sources of inspiration, to read more and to take more trips.”

JENNIFER LOVE GIRONDA

Jenniferlovegironda.com /// Instagram/artinw_damuse

“One thing that is a side passion for me is a lil’ something I call #AngelDropART. A few years ago I started leaving my original angel paintings and drawings around in memory of my best friend, Amy German. I look at it as my way of not only remembering my friend, but putting love and positive vibes out into the world. My intention is to ‘pay it forward’; folks can keep the angels if they need them, or pass them on to someone that could use a little love and beauty. This coming year, 2016, I want to drop 500 angels out into the world...and I am going to do it!”

WE ARE WATCHING YOU

DAIRE LYNCH “Daire Lynch is a Dublin born artist, who currently resides in County Mayo, in the west of Ireland.

He is a self taught painter, though he did complete a one year advanced drawing studies course with full distinctions, to hone his drawing abilities. His work primarily focuses on the human figure, capturing pose, gesture or a simple wry smile largely in oil on linen canvas. For his watercolor works he opts for monochrome, which is in French Ultramarine Blue. His two main passions are art and music, also being qualified as a Sound Engineer and multi-instrumentalist.

Daire has exhibited in Ireland, London, Scotland, Ohio and most recently New York. His work is in private collections the world over, from Australia to Scotland, France to the United States, and Germany to New Zealand.

When not painting or creating, Daire can be found in the wilds of Connemara, Ireland, be it woods, lakes or the powerful Atlantic Ocean.”

Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts

will be making HISTORY when it debuts a Marshall & Ogletree Digital Organ

The $1.5 million digital organ is being financed by Alexander W. Dreyfoos, an 83-yearold award-winning inventor, who holds 10 U.S. and numerous foreign patents in the fields of electronics and photography. Mr. Dreyfoos’ business, Photo Electronics Corporation, won an Academy Award for its innovative film technology in 1970. With an educational background from MIT and Harvard Business School, Mr. Dreyfoos’ love of technology is equal to his love of the arts. They will be married in spring of 2016, when the Kravis Center debuts their new digital organ, with a concert by worldrenowned organist Cameron Carpenter. Carpenter, a 34-year-old Julliard-trained musician, has been instrumental in the design of the Kravis Center’s digital organ, calling it a “sister” organ to his well-known “International Touring Organ.” (which interestingly debuted two years prior to the day (3/9/14) at the Lincoln Center in New York City as a performance – the Kravis Center will be the first performing arts center in the world to have a permanent digital organ) Not only does Mr. Dreyfoos have a passion for the arts – one that propelled him to become an artist in his own right, with a published book and photography - he was instrumental in establishing the cultural community for all in Palm Beach County.

He served as the founding chairman of both the Kravis Center and the Palm Beach County Council of the Arts (now the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County) – paving the way for many of the important cultural institutions that many of your readers likely visit regularly in Palm Beach. As a business man, he recognized early on the potential of Palm Beach and took measurable action to ensure its place as a destination for both work and play in South Florida. The climate of the county would be drastically different without his influence.

CAMERON CARPENTER

To celebrate the organ’s installation and completion, the March 9, 2016 event, “World Premiere of the Opus 11,” will feature internationally acclaimed organist Cameron Carpenter. The first organist ever nominated for a Grammy Award for a solo album, Carpenter will perform with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets to the performance are currently on sale.

The significance of this coming of age story is that art is truly able to compete and conform to our new digital age. With the brilliance of inventors, such as Mr. Dreyfoos, the arts will continue to explore avenues never seen before. The Kravis Center is proud to be leading history with this significant installation – one that will be available for performances, but also to serious musicians within its own community. The organ itself is a tool, one that is symbolic of a great history. The new digital platform in which it exists is extraordinary and worth exploring during this timely debut.

Bossypants

by Tina Fey

Thinking, Fast and Slow

by Daniel Kahneman

No.1

“Before Liz Lemon, before ‘Weekend Update,’ before ‘Sarah Palin,’ Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middleschool gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey’s story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon—from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we’ve all suspected: you’re no one until someone calls you bossy.

“Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking.

He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected

by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.”

If one triangle suggests the roof of a house, you might add just the doors and windows, or draw the entire town.”

Each of the 20 interpretations provides a different, interesting approach to drawing a single item, providing loads of inspiration for your own drawing.”

A PLACE OF PEACE Every residential project that I design, I intentionally designate spaces for relaxation. Areas not intended for work but can even make work a bit more enjoyable. As was the case with this outdoor alcove that I turned into a cabana. The custom draping, lounge furnishings and eclectic sofas were great but finishing the space with a variety of neutral tone vases, objects and lots of candle light gave this outdoor space a warmth and feeling of comfort.

LET THERE BE LIGHT When designing a room, I’m always looking to add obscure elements that draw the eye and provide a beautiful surprise when people enter it. In this guest bathroom, I suspended an oversized Moroccan lantern above the free-standing modern bathroom perched in front of a bay window. The candlelight warmed up the room but also added a romantic touch for a late night bath!

“ACCESSORIES DON’T ALWAYS NEED TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF SCALE OR FUNCTIONALITY.”

THE SMALL COMFORTS OF HOME I am drawn to rooms that are designed in layers of textures, touch-points and objects that remind guests of a home well lived; not a perfect showroom. Artfully displaying a few coffee table books, an evening cocktail and a great cigar welcomes the man of the house home without saying a word!

DIAMONDS OR PEARLS ARE ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA Accessories don’t always need to follow the rules of scale or functionality. For this lounge that separated the dining room from the kitchen, I created an interruption in the center of the space by using oversized pearls to obstruct the pathway into this lounge. They were intended to be a ‘wow factor’ one that was both unexpected yet graciously welcomed.

BREAKFAST IN BED Adding a fabulous tray with one set of your favorite china and a bouquet of fresh flowers quickly changed the warmth of this guest bedroom. While neatly tidy with everything in place, it lacked a bit of comfort as it felt more like a showroom than a room that encouraged snuggling up with a good book. This Missoni china, pink roses and candlelight added just the right amount of love!

LEAVE A LITTLE LOVE Whenever I have completed an interior project and preparing to depart, I look for an organic, unobtrusive way to leave behind a little love—an object of my affection and appreciation. These hearts are not always so literal but many times they are with the intention of reminding my clients that their homes were designed in love. By leaving behind good energy and a thankful heart, the same is always returned to me!

BOLD STATEMENTS Some pieces are intended to make bold statements and invoke power in a room; which was the case with this gem I found in an antique shop while traveling through London. This nobleman screamed strength and dignity all of which I felt would be perfect for a formal dining room I designed. After bringing this gem back home, I had the statue refinished in gold leaf and delivered him to my client even though I had not been asked to find any additional pieces. I simply had a feeling about this one and upon arrival she immediately fell in love with it just as much as I did. And the best thing about love is that it truly is priceless so when my client responded with ‘send me an invoice’ without requesting the amount of her investment—I was reassured to always follow my gut instincts!

THE ART OF GIVING

By Jennifer Love Gironda

I

t might not feel like it here in South Florida but the holidays are a’comin’. I know we only have summer and, well, more summer—but in other places the weather changes, and that’s one way folks know that the season of giving is upon us.

You have a big, wonderful heart and you want to find ways that you can make an impact. Art Hive is here to help. Here are a just a few local organizations and some ideas for how you can give back to the community this season.

GIVE TO THE FUTURE I can tell you first hand that there are students sitting in schools throughout South Florida that have to deal with truly unfortunate circumstances. They live in overcrowded homes; their parents aren’t home because they are working multiple jobs…if they are fortunate enough to have homes and parents that can find employment. Their clothes are worn out, their stomachs are growling, they are tired. One of the best parts about teaching, especially teaching art, is to be able to bring a tiny bit of light into a student’s day…when so many other things may seem hopeless and dark. But 24

my students, and the students of South Florida, need more than just smiling teachers—it takes a whole village to raise a child. You really can make an impact on students right in your community­.

Contact schools directly to inquire about donating items to the guidance department. So many times they know the heartbreaking stories of students in need. Proper shoes for school or shirts that fit the school’s dress code…even donations of food for families. Pick a school, pick up the phone, and ask how you can help.

GIVE YOUR TIME Your time is so precious…and putting it to use helping others makes it that much more important. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen–serve food to others that are less fortunate than you are with a spirit of love and joy so that you can brighten someone else’s day. Visit the sick and the elderly. Take the time to write cards and thank you letters to veterans. Help take care of animals in shelters. Give the gift of you.

•bocahelpinghands.org : A local soup kitchen in Boca Raton. In addition to food drives, and a huge ‘Thanksgiving Box Brigade’, Boca Helping Hands also assists with equipping individuals with the skills needed to gain employment through their Job Mentoring Center.

• peggyadams.org/volunteer : Another South Florida favorite. The Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, which has a plethora of volunteer opportunities that aid in helping lost, homeless and unwanted dogs and cats.

GIVE DONATIONS In preparation for the new year so many of us like to purge, the old ‘out with the old and in with the new’ theme. We go through our closets, drawers, garages all in the name of simplifying our own lives. Take those items somewhere they can be put to use! We are all familiar with Goodwill, but another local favorite that can put your donations to good use is Faith Farm.

A faith-based South Florida Favorite that offers a free, long term, residential recovery program for men and women who struggle with substance abuse.

Their thrift shops are well known in the area for unique ‘finds’ and your purchases help to fund those in need of help battling addiction.

There are numerous ways to donate to Faith Farm, from clothing items to furniture…you can even donate a vehicle that you don’t need any more!

For more information, please visit faithfarm.org One very special local organization that I became aware of last year is the Best Foot Forward out of Palm Beach County. This nonprofit organization specifically targets students in our area that have been neglected, abused, or even abandoned–and as a result –have entered foster care. The goal of Best Foot Forward is to advocate and provide support for these students so that they do not become a statistic, but rather a success story.

Best Foot Forward works closely with local schools to help increase the likelihood of the student’s academic success.

For more, please visit bestfoot.org

…and a plea to all of my creative friends out there: you have something special that you can give—your talent—the gift of your heart. Donate a painting, organize an art supply drive, teach others one of your many artistic skills, perform at charity events.

I’ll even go a step further­—post your ‘giving’ to Instagram under #ArtHiveARTofGiving…and I’ll make an #AngelDropART painting for every post I see. Let’s do this! Let’s truly make this a season of giving in South Florida.

Ready, set…GIVE! *Don’t know what an Angel Drop is?

MICHAEL EMERSON A Conversation With The Illustrator-Turned-Actor Photos by Jean-Claude • Interview by Angela Yungk

Angela Yungk: We know that you started your career early on as an illustrator—how did you get started in the visual arts?

Michael Emerson: I moved to New York, when I got out of college, hoping to be an actor and I couldn’t figure out how to do it, and after a few years of knocking around and having retail jobs I thought, ‘there must be something I can do as a creative outlet for myself.’ I had always been able to draw pictures so I took some weekend courses at the Parsons School of Design and I guess I was just arrogant enough to go and try to make a living out of it, which is what I did for quite a few years.

AY: What you would say has been the highlight of your visual arts career?

ME: I remember feeling like it was a big deal when I got printed in the New York Times, and I did some interesting cover art for different magazines and things over the

“

and mine have changed over the years. The painters that I thought were shaking the world thirty years ago are no longer the painters I probably enjoy the most.

AY: Are you still currently doing any illustration work?

ME: No, I don’t really draw anymore and for a while I thought, ‘well that’s a shame’. But then I thought it wasn’t really a shame—I certainly got it out of my system.

There was a time when I thought I wished I hadn’t spent all of those years drawing pictures when I could’ve been trying to get an acting career started, but I don’t feel that way now. I feel like the years when I was an illustrator I learned a kind of personal discipline in the arts. I learned to work by myself and to be my own boss and to set my own standard for what the work should be. When you’re an illustrator you have to be willing to tear it up and start over again if it’s not working. So I got a work ethic

general—a lot of the fan art I get is really first rate. I am floored sometimes by the skill of people who send things in to me.

It’s really quite astounding, and I also think,‘Oh, my God— the time they must have spent on this. ’ AY: What would you consider the ‘breakout role’ where you transitioned from visual artist into an actor?

ME: Well, that was a clean break in a way. When I was an illustrator I had moved south to Jacksonville, Florida. I was still an illustrator but the work was drying up because I was too far away from New York. At some point I thought, ‘Okay, its time start over and if I’m going to start from scratch I might as well do what I really, really want to do.’ I had day jobs in the south; I was a house painter and a landscape laborer. I started doing community theater at night and on the weekends and sort of worked my way

I feel like the years when I was an illustrator I learned a kind of personal discipline in the arts. I learned to work by myself and to be my own boss and to set my own standard for what the work should be. years. I was most proud when I was taken seriously by an art director who would give me jobs regularly and seemed to really like the way I was thinking about things. That was very satisfying. It’s always very nice to see your pictures in print. The problem with that line of work is, or was at that time was that it took me so long to draw each picture and the pay was not very good. I was always just barely scraping by, even though I was what you might call ‘successful’. Ultimately I think it was just too lonely a job for me. I think I was meant to work more in a group setting, more of a cooperative or ensemble setting.

from it that has served me well as an actor.

Also, on some level I feel like I am still illustrating. My work as an illustrator was to take a piece of text, a piece of writing and pictorialize it somehow. Often that work has to be in the form of metaphors or pre-associative images, and I have to say, that is not a bad prescription for acting. All of my work is text based. I’m not an improviser. I’m not one of those movie actors that make up scenes as I go along—I’m always working off script as an interpreter, which is very much what I used to do as an illustrator. So I think in a way it’s all been one career.

AY: Do you have a favorite visual artist?

AY: How does it feel being on the other side—having artists create illustrations portraying characters from some of your most well known films?

ME: Oh I have lots of heroes. I have illustrator heroes and painter heroes and sculpture heroes and designer heroes, because when you work in that field you are constantly studying other artists and you are looking for influences yourself,

ME: I think it makes me a good judge of fan art, I guess. Even by the critical standards of art that I bring to art in

”

up that way. I was a very late starter but I knew what to do about it. I had to do a complete shift of gears and it helped that I was isolated from my previous life as an illustrator. My real breakout as an actor was the first show I did in New York City. It was called ‘Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde’. I did it eighteen years ago, back in ’97. And it’s the beginning of my real career as an actor. I haven’t done anything else for a living since that play. It was remounted last week as a fundraiser by Moisés Kaufman, who wrote it and directed it. It was very exciting to see how well it came back to me. There were some people in the cast that were in the original cast; it was nice to go back to that glorious production that we all remember so fondly and have a soft spot in our heart for. It made me think really fondly about the live stage. I am going to continue to think about the theatre.

AY: You were recently named one of the ‘Greatest Villains in TV History’ by Variety Magazine. As an actor, do you feel you are being typecast?

ME: Honestly, people worry too much about typecasting. Any role that you play, and really play it well—people are going to think of you in that way. Hollywood is not always terribly imaginative. If they see you do a great job as a serial killer, they are going to think, ‘What other serial killer roles can we give him?’ Your job as an actor is to sort of gently persuade them that we’ve already done that, and that maybe something else would be fun. I’m happy to be a great villain because that suggests to me that I did my job. I made those villains complicated enough to bare repeated viewing that people were off guard with it. In fact— I would say that I play a good

ME: But they had great technical advisors and it was a lot of fun to do those early experiments and to work with replica period and replica equipment, it was so interesting that they got such sophisticated results and observations working with really quite crude materials—brilliant people.

AY: We know that you are an avid reader.

What books are you currently reading that are interesting to you?

ME: I’m reading a novel called Speak.

It’s a novel that ties together five or six stories that take place in different times but they are all about the evolution of artificial intelligence. It’s quite a wonderful accomplishment by the author, Louise Hall.

I read a review of it in the New York Times book review and I thought, ‘I’ve got to get that’. I emailed everyone that works in the

or forty-three. Your main job in this life, I think, is to find the thing that gives you pleasure that could be your work—and then just do it. Love it while you do it whether you’re making a dollar at it or a thousand dollars. And it’s good to be patient with yourself and patient with your craft. Malcolm Gladwell says that you have to work 10,000 hours at a thing to master it. He’s not too far off the mark.

I know I spent more than 10,000 hours illustrating and there was a point where I thought, ‘I can really do this now.’ There’s nothing I can’t draw. I know how to draw metallic surfaces and reflective surfaces and transparencies and fabric and all the parts of the human body and hair and foliage and all that stuff. The first time you encounter it—it’s a real challenge—the first time you have to draw a woman’s face as a job, or draw a hand holding a pencil

I do think it’s important to be patient. If you mean to make a living in the arts you might have to step out of the world a little bit.

villain because you are never really sure he is a villain. You see, I can always justify the most heinous behavior by humankind— I can find a way to justify it in my actor mind.

writer’s room on Person of Interest and I said, ‘I think this is worth checking out.’

AY: We saw your show on PBS, the ‘Mystery of Matter’. Is science something that interests you and intrigues you on a personal level from hosting that show?

ME: I like just kind of mindlessly walking around the city of New York, without purpose or without an agenda. I just like to wander a bit, let my mind empty out a bit. I like to go shopping—window shopping, real shopping. I like to listen to audio books in addition to the reading that I do. And I spent a fair amount of my free time walking my dog Chumley around the streets of New York. That’s good fun and I find it is relaxing. I guess a lot of my private time is about winding down, being free from responsibilities because my work is kind of heavy sometimes.

ME: Yeah. One of the reasons I took it was because that seemed like a really dreamy job for me. I’ve always been jealous of those guys that get to host all those science shows, Nova, and the animal shows. Those are so interesting to me. I have to confess that I didn’t realize it when I went up to do that job; it was shot in Boston, I didn’t realize that I was going to have to recreate a lot of those experiments [laughs] ME: So when I got on the set they said, ‘Okay, come over here we want to show you how to do the oxygen test.’ And I thought, ‘Okay...shoot. Okay, here we go’. [laughs] 30

AY: What do you enjoy doing on your downtime?

AY: Having such an eclectic career, what advice would you want to share with someone who is just starting out in an artistic career such as yours?

ME: I think a good piece of advice is to accept the fact that it is not a race.

You don’t have to succeed by the age of twenty-three or twenty-five or thirty-three

”

or any of those things that require pretty careful observation. You might have to stay up all night to get it right but after you do it a few times than you just know how to do it. There is something that can be said for gaining your craft that way. I do think it’s important to be patient. If you mean to make a living in the arts you might have to step out of the world a little bit. The world is full of pressures towards the status quo, towards normalcy, towards, ‘you should settle down and get married, buy a car, have a home, raise children’. Some that stuff might have to be put on the back burner if you want to get your arts career started.

THE MAGIC OF

MARGARET Comedian • Philanthropist • Author • Musician

On her creative inspirations, philanthropy, and how she uses her heartache to heal.

Photos by Mary Taylor • Interview by Jessie Prugh

Jessie Prugh: The narrative of your unconventional life reads like a beloved underdog story—a young Korean-American girl, that against all odds, was true to herself and paved the way to her own success to become a star. What possessed you to put yourself out there and do stand-up comedy at the ripe young age of 14?

Margaret Cho: I needed to escape being a child. I have had a long history of abuse, and at that point I was done with being a kid. I knew that I wanted to be a comedian, and I had dreams about it— very vivid ones that are exactly like what it feels like to perform now.

On stage, nothing bad could happen to me because I had witnesses. I love that little brave girl I was. I am grateful.

JP: You put in the time writing, practicing your craft, and earning the right to perform next to comedy heavyweights such as Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, and Robin Williams, all at a very young age.

What did you gain from having such intense experiences so early in your life that you’ve since carried with you throughout your career?

Was there a definitive moment that you can recall in which you thought to yourself, ‘I’ve made it’?

MC: I’ve never really thought about ‘making it’ or that ‘I have arrived’. Or perhaps it is a constant feeling. I am overwhelmed by the amazing experiences I have had. Robin always made me follow him at this tiny comedy club—it was nigh impossible. I bombed for years then suddenly—I figured it out. Jerry told me to drop out of school and pursue comedy full time. He still sends me handwritten notes on his stationery when he sees me on TV. Bob Hope was really old when I met him, but I spent many afternoons at his home, looking at the Phyllis Diller paintings. It’s surreal but also just the way my life has been.

JP: While your comedic career has been a success, you have also parlayed your talents into other creative fields—best selling author, actress, fashion designer, and even a Grammy nominated musician.

What keeps you inspired to create so much and in so many different creative arenas?

MC: For me, art is life. It’s not work exactly. It’s more of a spiritual practice. I try to be as good as I can in everything I do, and I fail a lot! That is the trick to success I think. Failure. Because it’s an effective teacher.

JP: A common thread throughout all of your art and performances seems to be tackling uncomfortable, sometimes taboo issues, in a humorous, but necessary and honest way. Do you feel that you’ve used comedy and the arts as therapy and a process of self-healing from your past traumas?

MC: Absolutely! And it’s therapeutic to help people realize it’s okay to talk about the tragedy in your life—the shame, the sadness, the outrage. As an artist, I want to use all the colors on my palette and I often choose the darkest and the most vibrant. My work makes the pain worth something.

JP: You’re an outspoken philanthropist and social rights advocate for gay rights, marriage equality, and women’s rights, just to name a few.

When did giving back become such and important part of the work that you do?

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

MC: I am so fortunate to be so incredibly successful, how could I not give back? I mean, activism must be active. Like, ‘faith without works is dead’ ( James 2:26). I was raised in the luminous but all too brief gay camelot of Harvey Milk, and then I was there to witness the devastation of AIDS; it was an honor to be on the earth at that time and learn from the brilliance and the sadness. I was able to marry gay couples in the Rotunda of City Hall of San Francisco, the actual site of Harvey Milk’s assassination. To have the privilege of going to the place of the most tragic moment in gay political history to celebrate the most glorious achievement in

the rain. Also, Google donated two million dollars to homeless shelters—and I am not saying that it was because of me­, but I think for a brief moment I made helping people look cool. We fed a lot of people, gave out a lot of money and clothing and haircuts. That was the best. Hairdressers cutting homeless people’s hair on the street—we swept it up after!

JP: Though you are known for being unabashedly honest about just about everything, more recently you’ve opened up about past horrors of bullying and sexual abuse you experienced as a child and young adult. In a recent interview

“For me, art is life.

and have suffered PTSD because of it—do you think the government or schools have a responsibility to intervene in bullying, or do you think those challenges are just a part of growing up and shaping character?

MC: Schools definitely need to be involved. And the government. They must protect children. It’s even more dangerous and deadly now in the age of social media and online bullying. I can’t imagine what it must be like for kids today. Life hurts us enough—we must hold schools and government responsible for caring for our innocents. We must all mother the world.

It’s not work exactly.

It’s more of a spiritual practice. gay political history—well, it’s profound.

JP: You’ve done an amazing job of getting your voice heard, connecting with your fans, and making change actually happen with the help of social media. Can you tell us a bit about how your current #MarryMeMargaret campaign came to be, where you marry couples during your PsyCHO Tour?

MC: I have married couples throughout the tour and it’s so wonderful. We usually begin the show with it. And everyone is crying. We have all worked so hard together to achieve marriage equality— and so we should celebrate. I don’t have couples for every tour, so I encourage anyone who wants to get married at the show to just let me know. I pick the first couple who asks­—so they can tweet #marrymemargaret and I will do it!

JP: We know the late Robin Williams was very dear to you. You created the successful #BeRobin campaign to honor his life by helping the homeless in San Francisco. What kind of impact have you seen happen in your hometown due to your efforts?

MC: I hope that there is more of an awareness that homelessness is still a serious problem. I don’t think I did that much, but the two months that #berobin went on, the city opened up empty buildings for homeless people to get out of

with Wendy Williams you said something that stuck with me—‘There is no statute of limitation on the truth’. Can you please share with us your motives and hopes behind your latest campaign, #12DaysRage, and your new music video, (I Want To) Kill My Rapist?

MC: I think sexual abuse becomes self abuse—so I encourage those who have suffered to murder the rapist inside rather than killing yourself. My abuse led to eating disorders, drug addiction, depression—even multiple suicide attempts. I needed to find that cathartic rage that I had pushed down for so long.

The song is my expression of this—and it’s a really beautiful sonic masterpiece.

I made the video with 20 young people between the ages of 4 and 18, who are all incredible martial artists, knife throwers, archers. The star is an amazing young lady who took the stand, and at 6 years of age, put her molester away in prison for good.

The fact that I could be in the presence of such a hero—she’s 10 now—well, it’s my best work, in my humble opinion. For 12 days before, like the 12 days of Christmas, I make brief videos about my molestation, the many times I have been raped and abused. I encourage others to talk about their experiences. There are so many of us—so many survivors. We have become a family. It heals me.

”

JP: Being that you are an advocate for those who often do not have a voice or are too afraid to speak out­—what positive experiences have you gained from being so outspoken?

MC: It just feels good. Lots of my personal heroes—famous artists I absolutely idolize have shared their stories with me—and cheer me on from all over the world. Many people tell me that they have not shared their tragedies with anyone but me. I am humbled by that. I am healed by everyone.

JP: On a lighter note—who are your creative heroes or inspirations?

MC: Roseanne Barr, Rosie O’Donnell, Joan Rivers, Fiona Apple, Jon Brion, Rose McGowan, Christopher Titus, Stephen K. Amos, Gina Yashere, Sarah Silverman, Dame Edna, Neil Finn, Lee Daniels, Björk, René Redzepi, M.F.K. Fisher, Ken Jeong, Amy Tan, Amy Schumer, Lars von Trier, Tommy Chong, Alphonse Mucha, Andrew Zimmern, Nina Hartley, Susie Bright, Dan Savage—there are so many. I am a great lover of all art and all genius in it’s infinite incarnations.

JP: What are you currently reading?

JP: While on the subject of bullying and abuse—and being that you are a survivor ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

MC: Bones, by Jennifer Mclagan. I am also a chef and learning how to honor the animal’s life by using every little bit. It’s a beautiful book. I read mainly cookbooks. Jeffrey Steingarten is my favorite. Wait, maybe Alton Brown is my favorite.

JP: Who are your fashion icons?

MC: Nico, Amber Rose, Catherine Deneuve, Tina Chow, Liza Minnelli, Joan Jett, Maggie Cheung, Bridget Everett, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Louise Brooks, Jean Seberg, Jane Birkin, Peaches.

JP: You’ve really been in charge of your own career on the business and creative end. What do you think often goes wrong for creative entrepreneurs who allow trends, fads, or other people to dictate their career trajectories?

MC: I think it’s all a journey, and everyone’s path is different. I think that the truth of you should always shine, and that is not about trends or fads. Honesty is always chic. I worked in a variety of showbiz situations and I have found that my own instincts are the best. Even when I fail. At least I failed at being myself rather than trying to be someone else.

JP: If you could go back in time and give your younger self a piece of advice, what would it be?

MC: That everything is going to be OK. Better than OK. JP: You have become a social icon and a hero to many people who look up to your bravery and wit.

Can you give any solid advice to artists and creatives out there who are struggling to make it in their careers?

MC: Never stop. Never quit. Never give up. There’s got to be a point to this—the drive to be an artist.

Find that point. Look for it daily. Art pays back— always. Sometimes slowly, sometimes lightning fast.

Art is good to invest in. It pays back with interest.

JP: What are you up to next?

MC: Lots of TV productions, both in front of and behind the camera. Lots of writing. My album, American Myth, will be released early 2016. And always another stand-up comedy show. I am always moving, always growing, always winning and losing, but having fun. Always having fun.

JP: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?

MC: I love you.

MALCOLM-JAMAL WARNER Interview with the Grammy Winning Musician + Actor + Poet Photos courtesy of Persona PR • Interview by Angela Yungk

Angela Yungk: We wanted to start out with your music career, and say congratulations on your Grammy win! Tell us about how it felt to get the award.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner: Thank you! Well it’s funny—when I first got the nomination the first thing that my mother said to me was, ‘Look baby, it only took you twenty years to get a nomination!’ [laughs] MJW: Her point being that there are people who have been in the music industry their whole lives and have not gotten a nomination.

It definitely felt like an honor. But also the poem that I do in that song, ‘Jesus Children’— Robert Glasper’s reworking of Stevie Wonder’s classic—is a tribute to the kids from Sandy Hook Elementary. The story behind the song

“

MJW: I didn’t start playing bass until I was twenty-six and my initial thought was that I would pick it up as a hobby. I would spend time in my dressing room practicing scales to a metronome, and after doing that for some time, I realized that was not going to hold my attention. So I ended up going to the Musicians Institute music school, and then I ended up putting a band together because I figured it would make me practice and would make me develop much quicker if I was actually playing in a band.

AY: That makes sense. Persistence and accountability is what you need to do to get certain projects done. Do you have any new projects that are in the works right now?

MJW: Oh yeah, I just dropped a CD on iTunes, it’s called ‘Selfless.’ It actually debuted on iTunes at number one on their spoken word charts.

The best thing, and the most difficult thing that you can do for yourself, is to make sure that you keep your soul intact.

just made getting the Grammy that much more gratifying.

AY: How did you get involved in being a part of the song?

MJW: Well, I was actually hanging out with Robert at the studio when Lalah made the vocals for the song and Robert was playing me the end of the song. He was saying how he had a friend whose daughter was one of the kids killed at Sandy Hook Massacre, and he was supposed to write a piece. Basically, in the eleventh hour, he couldn’t write it because it was too close to home. Robert asked me if I had a poem about Sandy Hook and I told him no but give me the track and I will go upstairs and write one. I literally wrote it that night, in that session.

AY: Can you tell us about your band, Miles Long?

MJW: Well, I’ve always been into jazz.

Malcolm-Jamal is my first name— my father named me after Malcolm X and Ahmad Jamal who is a renowned jazz pianist. So my whole life my dad has wanted me to be a jazz musician. [laughs] 42

”

‘Selfless’ is my third CD, and I’m proud of it because it’s a really solid representation of where I am now as a man, in my life—in my career.

There’s a lot of myself in this record. Someone asked me to describe the record in three words and I said, “Groovy. Passionate. Vulnerability.”

AY: Congratulations! That’s pretty amazing!

MJW: Thank you! Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathaway, Rahsaan Patterson, and Ledisi are all on the CD. It’s a pretty cool piece!

AY: Going from your music career to your acting career— you’ve been really busy, especially on the FX channel. Your roles have included the Sons of Anarchy, American Horror Story, and now American Crime Story that will debut in February. What was it like to play A.C. Cowlings, O.J. Simpson’s well-known friend who chauffered the infamous white Ford Bronco. Is there any kind of little teaser that you can share with us?

MJW: The fun part for us was that we had to shut down the 710 freeway for the weekend to shoot. It was just very surreal shooting the low speed chase and we’ve got twenty to thirty police cars behind us…

AY: So you were actually a little scared?

because they are all different avenues of creative expression for me. So what I do with the music and poetry allows me to use a different voice and express myself in a way that I can’t necessarily do as an actor or as a director.

The best thing, and the most difficult thing that you can do for yourself is to make sure that you keep your soul intact.

This is a soul-destroying business and you find there are so many people willing to sell their souls for the hopes of fame.

AY: Being both an actor and a musician—do you find that one skill set is more challenging than the other?

AY: Being that you have been in the spotlight most of your life, and you’ve had a really amazing career, what kind of advice would you give to emerging artists or creative people who are looking to make the arts a full time career move?

MJW: No, they are both very different.

One of the reasons why I do so many different things within the industry is

MJW: This a business for people with thick skin. This is a business where you face rejection ninety percent of the time.

MJW: Yeah, it was very interesting when you look in that rearview mirror and see all of these police cars behind you and flashing lights. Even though it took us two days to shoot that scene, we had such a ball shooting it. It’s not often that you get to drive on a closed freeway.

The history of Florida can be traced back to when Native Americans first began to inhabit the peninsula as early as 14,000 years ago, bringing with them the culture of crafts and decoration and display as evidenced in South Florida archaeological digs. It is likely that these tribes also were the first collectors, assembling items outside the protective, homesteaded man cave, only to later pile organic stuff inside to later sort out their findings like seasoned curators into recognizable categories. Whatever the motivation, these primitive documented gathering practices sank slowly and deeply into their double-spiral DNA, and have been passed down to modern day cultures that have kept the collecting bug alive and well. Florida is nicknamed the “Sunshine State” due to its warm climate. The combination of great weather, sandy beaches and a tropical paradise has continued to attract vacationers from around the world and a growing number of permanent residents since the early 20th century. Until the invention of Freon for air conditioning and DDT for pesticides, winter months were tolerable only for short visits. Now, Florida is very much a full-time, year round community that last year surpassed New York State in population, and as a result, there has been an amazing surge of expanding museums and cultural institutions that are primarily located along the eastern coastline, from Palm Beach to Miami.

Our South Florida community is fortunate indeed to have an abundance of remarkable museums, art fairs, and great galleries that would make an official artistic bucket list hard to complete. This season appears to be one of the most culturally significant in many moons, and while it would be a challenge to see everything available, here are a few of my favorite museum exhibitions that I do not intend to miss for any reason.

The big bad Wolfsonian-FIU in Miami Beach has been a perpetual favorite of mine since it opened. Mr. Wolfson harnessed his extraordinary interests and collecting passion into an institution that annually delivers thought-provoking exhibitions that you can write home about. “Margin of Error” is the title of the current show (through May 8, 2016), which explores cultural responses to mechanical mastery and engineered catastrophes of the modern age—the shipwrecks, crashes, explosions, and collapses that interrupt the path of progress. The exhibition traces the narrative of technological works, including decorative and graphic art, painting, sculpture and ephemera. (www.wolfsonian.org) NSU Art Museum (Ft. Lauderdale): “Covered in Time and History: The Films of Ana Mendieta,” will present the largest number of artist Mendieta’s films seen together in the United States. Until now, many of her films have had only limited exposure. One of the most influential Cuban-American artists of the post-WW II era, Mendieta’s (1948-1985) synthesis of sculpture, earth art and performance was an unflinching investigatation of what it means to be human. February 28 – July 3, 2016 (nsuartmuseum.org) Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM): “Project Gallery: Romare Bearden” (1911-1988) Recognized as one of the most prolific visual artists of the 20th century, Bearden’s work emphasizes collage and representations of black popular culture from an African-American perspective. This handsome and inspiring exhibition features a series of Photostats produced by the artist in the 1960s. Bearden cleverly created dozens of small collages that he subsequently converted into large works on paper using a Photostat machine—the precursor of the Xerox copier.

January 14 - June 26, 2016 (www.pamm.org) Boca Raton Museum of Art: “Warhol Prints from the Collection of Marc Bell;” “Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, 19491987;” “Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy.” Warhol was arguably the most interesting, most inventive artist of our time, and three separate exhibits reveal his genius; with iconic works like his Campbell’s Soup Cans accented with a photographic candid look recorded by Bob Colacello, who documented part of the wild disco-and-drugs-driven world and glamorous social status achieved by the Pop artist. Concurrently, there is a fascinating show sixty of unique album cover designs by Warhol, with such diverse subject matter as the Rolling Stones, Count Basie, and the Velvet Underground. Let’s party! Bob Colacello; Warhol on Vinyl: January 26 – April 10, 2016; Warhol Prints: January 26 – May 1, 2016 (www.bocamuseum.org) Norton Museum of Art (West Palm Beach): “O’Keeffe, Stettheimer, Torr, and Zorach: Women Modernists in New York” This fascinating exhibition examines the significant art and careers of Modernists Marguerite Zorach, Florine Stettheimer, Helen Torr, and Georgia O’Keeffe together for the first time.

These women all sought to be recognized as artists rather than women artists (amen!). Their identity as women shaped the circumstances under which they worked, the forms their art took, and the way their pictures were interpreted. Visiting this show and exploring these effects will reveal the influence of gender on American Modernism. February 18 May 15, 2016 (www.norton.org) Cornell Art Museum (Delray Beach) “WILD” Leave it to this modest but compelling museum to create excitement season after season with dynamic exhibitions that always seem to draw the best of the area’s stylish art crowd, and then some.

WILD is the title of a group show featuring contemporary art work by internationally recognized artists who are inspired by nature and use their talents to show the beauty and wonder of

our environment. The exhibition also features paintings by Plein Air Palm Beach county artists, who are inspired by the beauty of South Florida’s lavish and plentiful landscapes. January 14 – April 17, 2016 (oldschoolsquare.org/about/cornell-museum) Lowe Art Museum (Coral Gables) “The Portrait Transformed: Drawings & Oil Sketches from Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud” As early humankind evolved and the eventual dexterity of one’s hands became an instrument for useful purposes, including making marks on a wall, portraiture has been an inventive and delightful occupation for artists. Now a fascinating exhibit explores the development of portraiture from the 1700s until the present. In contrast to earlier portraits that were meant to flatter the rich and powerful, the invigorating new artistic movements of the late eighteenth century promoted an interest in the “unvarnished truth.” This show features 151 rare portrait drawings and oil sketches, including Beardsley’s decadent India ink portrait of Oscar Wilde. From a variety of amazing self-portraits to Alfred Hitchcock’s famous profile, this is a great opportunity to meet new faces and gain a revealing perspective on this honored craft. Through January 17, 2016 (www6.miami. edu/lowe/index.html) “Bruce Helander is an art critic, arts writer, curator and artist whose specialty is collage and assemblage. He has a master’s degree in painting from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, where he later became the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of the college. He is a former White House fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and has won the South Florida Cultural Consortium fellowship for professional achievement in the visual arts. He is one of two 2014 inductees to the Florida Artists Hall of Fame, Florida’s most prestigious arts and culture honor (the other is musician Tom Petty).

City Link magazine called Bruce Helander ‘arguably the most recognized and successful collage artist in the country…’and Kenworth Moffett, the former director of the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, said in Gold Coast magazine that ‘If there was a Pulitzer Prize for collage, Helander would surely win it.’

His work is in over fifty museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Smithsonian, Art Institute of Chicago, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art and Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles. The artist and his work has been the subject of 100 reviews and articles in numerous publications, including Art in America, ARTnews, and The Washington Post.

Helander is the former Editor-in-Chief of The Art Economist magazine and recently exhibited his work at Georgia Scherman Projects (Toronto), Corzine Fine Art (Los Angeles), Peter Marcelle Gallery (Bridgehampton, New York), Cornell Museum of Art (Delray Beach), and ArtHouse 429 (West Palm Beach). Most recently, his work was shown by Arcature Fine Art at Art Miami and Art Miami New York/Pier 94 and by Tansey Contemporary at Art Wynwood. Helander is now focusing on a retrospective of his collages and paintings for the Coral Springs Museum of Art, scheduled for 2017, and his collages are included in ‘Open This End,’ a five-year traveling museum show of works from the celebrated Blake Byrne collection in Los Angeles, currently at the Nasher Museum of Art.” MORE @ BRUCEHELANDER.COM

TRIVIUM

TAKES LOCAL TALENT AND TOURS THE WORLD A Conversation with Paolo Gregoletto Interview by Andrew Winninger

Much of life is being in the right place at the right time and that’s what happened for Paolo Gregoletto. He grew up in Pompano Beach,went to St. Coleman’s and eventually Cardinal Gibbons in Ft. Lauderdale, played in bands both in and out of school along the way. That’s where we met, actually – high school jazz band.

He was one of those kids who you knew could be something if given the chance: God-given talent and a work ethic to match; not to say we didn’t do our fair share of screwing around in Mengerson’s 6th period jazz class. Anyways, it culminated with Metal Militia, a local favorite who’d frequently play haunts like The Culture Room and The Chili Pepper back when it existed. Unfortunately, the local music scene wasn’t strong enough to support a career, and who really wants to be known as the best metal band in Ft. Lauderdale?

So he was forced to make a choice between the safe bet in college or giving his dreams of becoming a rock star one last shot.

In a poetic turn of fate, a then-relatively-unknown Trivium just so happened to need a new bassist and Paolo, who’d played with them once or twice needed a new gig. They joined forces and have been churning out metal anthems for the better part of a decade. How do you break into an established niche, where names like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Rainbow have been reigning as the kings of metal since the 80’s? You kick down the door and announce your presence and that’s exactly what they did with Ascendency, their first major label debut on Roadrunner Records. They’ve since gone on to make five more albums with the most recent being Silence In The Snow (SITS). Now I like metal, but I certainly wouldn’t consider myself a metal head. I can understand how people don’t like or appreciate the genre, but I will say I found SITS to be a particularly enjoyable listen because it’s approachable. It’s fast, loud and powerful—everything that metal should be, but just enough of each. The three music videos they’ve made for the album range from dark and artsy to fun and ridiculous have deservedly racked up millions of views on youtube, which speaks to the quality of production and their rabid fan base.

With their fifth album under their belt, multiple world tours, instrument sponsorships, chart-topping albums and millions of fans, you could say they’re doing pretty well. Oh and those huge names in metal that I mentioned earlier? They’ve shared the same stages and tours and now Orlando-based Trivium is headlining their own. Like most bands who’ve “made it”, they’re the exception, proving the adage, luck is when preparation meets opportunity, to be true.

I caught him in between tours to chat about where he’s at, what got him there and where he’s going.

Andrew Winniger: You’ve been playing bass for approximately how long now?

Paolo Gregoletto: It’s been about 18 or 19 years since I began playing bass. I started to learn guitar about a year and a half after that.

AW: Obviously you have natural talent, but you’ve worked long and hard to develop it. What’s your practice regimen look like and now that you’re a professional, what approach do you take to advancing your skills to the next level?

PG: I view my regimen in two parts: off tour practicing and on tour maintenance. While I am home I have to split my time between making new music as well as practicing new techniques that I would like to add to my repertoire. On tour, the amount of travel and extra obligations leave me with little time to just sit around for an hour or two and practice scales or ideas. Tour maintenance is making sure I am warming up properly and playing at my best every night.

AW: Around the time we graduated from high school back in 2004 is when you started to make the transition from local band Metal Militia to the world-touring Trivium—how’d that come about?

PG: Metal Militia had been a band for about 6 years before I finally hooked up with Trivium in that summer after graduation. We had actually played two shows together before that, one in Daytona and one in St. Petersburg. I was considering my options at that point; continuing on after six years of effort was noble but not a viable Opposite Page, Photo courtesy of ©Trivium

option. It was either go to college that fall, or find a new project with like minded people and give it one more go. Thankfully they needed a new bass player at the right time.

AW: What would you tell kids who are in middle and high school garage bands right now?

PG: These years in a local band are important. Learn lessons when the stakes are not as high as being a signed act. Understand the business from the ground up (booking shows and studio time) and develop your sound. The trend I notice now is bands doing whatever it takes to get signed as fast as possible and get on tour. I remember that feeling as a kid, but avoid the pitfall of rushing into something you are not prepared for just yet.

AW: You’ve toured and played with the biggest names in metal— Metallica, Iron Maiden, Machinehead—what was it like sharing a stage with them and what’d you take away from the greats?

PG: I think we learned a lot about why those bands stand apart and above so many other acts. You have to value your fans, you have to always plan new ways to grow your band, and lastly you have to be incredible live. Metallica and Iron Maiden are definitely big because of the quality of their music, but seeing the operation a little closer reveals that Metallica/Maiden-level bands don’t just happen by chance. Years of planning and hard work go a long way in music.

AW: In the process you made quite a name and built quite a following for yourselves and now you’re the ones headlining tours— what was it like the first time you walked onto a stage and looked out and saw a sea of fifty thousand people?

PG: It is a surreal experience, and ironically the bigger shows tend to feel easier than having a a few hundred people up close and personal. I think we have worked our way up the festival bills so it feels like a natural progression. Now back in 2005 at Download, I would have describe that feeling as a euphoric black out, since I can’t remember the details well because of the insanity of being in front of that many people (50,000) for the first time.

AW: What about looking down into the pit and seeing people looking up, screaming the lyrics to songs you wrote back at you?

PG: That is a payoff that money can’t replicate, no matter how much you make. Connecting with someone that you don’t even know personally, whether it’s in the shows or even online, it’s a humbling experience. I feel that the metal and rock fans of the world are some of the most loyal out there.

AW: You recently changed your bass sponsor from BC Rich to Warwick after an almost decade-long partnership – how are you liking Warwick so far (both product and service wise)?

50

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

PG: The company is a family owned bass maker from Germany.

Right off the bat I noticed their level of artist relations and quality control were a big part of their culture after flying over to meet them this past September. The basses I have at the moment play and sound incredible. My time with BC Rich was amazing and fulfilled a childhood dream of endorsing them, but now I am excited for this new opportunity to work with one of the best bass companies in the world.

AW: Life in a bus for weeks at a time can be both difficult and adventurous at the same time. You’re in pretty good shape, how do you maintain that while on the road?

PG: You have to find some balance in your life on tour. You can party too hard and have the show suffer, but you can also worry so much about perfection and avoiding having fun that you come to resent the life style. Working out, going out to eat at local spots and meeting new people, that’s what keeps us sane on tour. Also, keeping the bus clean and respecting others space is a great way to keep everyone happy.

AW: And you all seem to eat particularly well while out on tour if your Instagram is any indication. Is experiencing all the different food and drink from all of the different places you visit one of your favorite aspects of touring? Any particularly memorable meals?

PG: It’s hard to pinpoint the BEST meals, because we go everywhere and anywhere we can find. I would say that Japan is a foodie’s heaven. The quality and care in making the food is ingrained in the culture, and the experiences you can have there are endless. Every city and region is known for specific foods. You will not have a bad time there!

AW: On your last album Vengance Falls, you used David Draiman (of Disturbed fame) as your producer. What was the recording process like for that?

was matrix-y cyborg and Silence In The Snow has an eastern Oni skull look to it. How does that speak to the music on each of the albums?

PG: I think with Silence in the Snow we wanted to represent the sound visually: Classic but Modern. Our entire approach to the record was with that motto. The Oni skull we used has become a new symbol for us as well, and I think we are going to be making it more of the focal point of our artwork as well. With Vengeance Falls we let the artist come up

revisit when they head back into the studio. Is the process similar for you all?

PG: We actually rarely sound check on tour because we carry our own board and in ear monitors. It makes life on tour a lot more peaceful and easy. I get bands that like to jam and create at soundcheck, but that’s not something we do. I like to separate the touring and recording worlds a bit.

AW: What’s next after Silence In The Snow­and this tour is over?

“CONNECTING WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU DON’T EVEN

KNOW PERSONALLY, WHETHER IT’S IN THE SHOWS OR EVEN ONLINE, IT’S A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE.

”

PG: David has been a fan since Ascendancy, all the way back in 2005.

What really made it possible to work together was In Waves releasing right as we toured with Disturbed on their last tour before their hiatus.The timing aligned perfectly in our schedules. The experience was great, he has so much knowledge on both music and music business that it was like working with a mentor in some ways. He has a good 1520 years experience on us, and anytime someone like that is willing to work with you and share insight, you take it.

AW: And Trivium just put out its seventh studio album Silence In The Snow. This time you used Michael Baskette. How’s he differ from Draiman?

PG: I think the big difference is David works with Disturbed mostly and Elvis works with many bands. So I think as a producer a guy like Elvis is able to adapt to the band more so. I believe both guys are great song writers in their own right and they gave us some great tips for our own music.

AW: As far as themes go, Vengance Fall’s

with the cyborg concept. He had a few notes from Matt on the layout look, but the Sci-Fi angle was all his and it was actually a cool surprise as well.

AW: I’ve noticed you guys are going heavy with the music videos for SITS— “Blind Leading The Blind” is particularly ridiculous and fun, whereas “Silence In The Snow” and “Until The World Goes Cold” are darker and artsy. Did you work with the same director on all of them?

Any fun stories from shooting?

PG: Our good friend John Paul Douglas worked on all of the videos as well as the artwork. He was able to get the styles to be so unique and fit the songs perfectly.

We wanted the artwork to be bold and simple enough to intrigue people who might not know who we are. The best video to make was BLTB because it had an open bar all day and we didn’t have to perform in it.

PG: It’s going to be a long tour cycle. At least a solid part of 2016 will be hitting the key territories and playing the festival circuit. I am sure once we get to the end of next year it will be time to discuss more music and see what other touring 2017 could present to us.

HELLO, MY NAME IS JON AND

I AM AN ART

CHEATER

Art + Story +Photos by Jon Hunt

I

was a weird kid. For my 16th birthday, I asked for a specific book-- and I got it. Norman Rockwell, Illustrator is still one of my prized possessions. I have never ceased to be amazed by Rockwell’s virtuosity as a storyteller. When looking at his original oils (instead of third generation reproductions), it is undeniable that he had the painting skills of a Renaissance master. His expertly staged compositions showcase an often sly humor and an exquisitely honed narrative sense. But the coolest thing about the book for me at the time was that it revealed Rockwell’s working process.

“

I had discovered his dirty secret: Norman Rockwell was a

CHEATER ! ”

52

ARTHIVEMAGAZINE.COM

However, soon after I started reading the process section, I recoiled from the page in horror, ready to give up on my hero forever. I had discovered his dirty secret: Norman Rockwell was a CHEATER! He drew from PHOTOGRAPHS! Why hadn’t anyone warned me? The effect of this transgression on my innocent mind was akin to the loss felt by a child discovering that Santa wasn’t real (a subject that Rockwell tackled in one of his Saturday Evening Post covers, by the way). And like that kid— I got over it.

Some people may think that Rockwell was less of an artist for using photographs. But let me clear something up—both fine artists and illustrators use photographic reference and they have been doing it since the moment photography was invented. And before that, artists like Johannes Vermeer, Leonardo Da Vinci and Caravaggio used a device called the camera obscura to trace scenes and figures onto their working surface.

Rockwell himself eschewed using photographs at the beginning of his career. He preferred hiring models to dress up in costumes in his studio where he could draw them from life. This worked out well for a while, but Rockwell’s art director started to notice a staleness in his compositions. His characters seemed stiff and were all presented at eye level. There was no question that Rockwell could draw, but he limited himself to drawing only poses that could be held for long periods of time. Switching to photo references allowed him to capture much more dynamic poses and nuanced facial expressions. It also sped up the process, allowing him to meet tighter deadlines. These are the reasons I myself often choose to use photos.

When I mention my own use of reference, most non-artists get a look on their faces like “Oh, so that’s how you do it. You actually have no talent-- You just trace.” I have even had some people flat out tell me—“I could do that!” And my response has always been “Go ahead. Here are the photos I used. Trace away and let’s see what you come up with.” No one has ever taken me up on the challenge. I kind of wish someone would, because then at least that one person will realize that without a compelling concept, knowledge of anatomy, rendering, composition, and the ability to correct perspective and lense distortions, a tracing will simply look like—well, a bad tracing.

So that I might further incriminate myself, here are a couple of photos and sketches I used to develop my painting “Cliffhanger II”. I will let you decide for yourself whether I am an art cheater or not.

Lyon, France THE ARTIST WHO HAD A VISION “JR exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors.

In 2006, he created Portrait of a Generation, portraits of suburban “thugs” that he posted, in huge formats, in the bourgeois districts of Paris. This illegal project became “official” when the Paris City Hall wrapped its building with JR’s photos. In 2007, with Marco, he made Face 2 Face, the biggest illegal exhibition ever. JR posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities. In 2008, he embarked on a long international trip for Women Are Heroes, in which he underlines the dignity of women who are often the targets of conflicts, and created The Wrinkles of the City. In 2010, his film Women Are Heroes was presented at Cannes. In 2011 he received the TED Prize, after which he created Inside Out, an international participatory art project that allows people worldwide to get their picture taken and paste it to support an idea and share their experience.”www.insideoutproject.com HOW INSIDE OUT PROJECT GOT STARTED “On March 2, 2011, JR won the TED prize at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and called for the creation of a global participatory art project with the potential to change the world. This project is called INSIDE OUT. Inspired by JR’s large‐format street ‘pastings’, INSIDE OUT gives everyone the opportunity to share their portrait 56

and make a statement for what they stand for. It is a global platform for people to share their untold stories and transform messages of personal identity into works of public art.

Each INSIDE OUT group action around the world is documented, archived and exhibited online. Nearly 200,000 people from more than 112 countries & territories have participated.”

BROWARD’S INSIDE OUT PROJECT Broward County has been lucky enough to be a part of the national art movement. Broward’s buildings that have been wrapped by the locals include the Bailey Contemporary Arts, Broward College, Westfield Mall, SW Regional Library, United Way, Children’s Service Council, Pembroke Pines Teen Center and NSU, just to name a few.

“We have worked on over 35 individual Inside Out projects in Broward County and photographed approximately 5,000 people. Each installation is unique to the community the installation occurred in and caused important social and economic messages to surface. Many of the installations highlighted individuals making a difference in their communities through empowering youth, supporting education and many other important efforts for Broward’s future.” Bethanie Parker—Strategic Advisory Group

“Podcasts offer audio content on any conceivable subject, in anything from bite size two-minute chunks, all the way to multi-hour, multi-part epics.”

Earlier this year when “King of All Media”, Howard Stern, went on a “podcasts are for losers” rant during his Sirius radio show, his listeners most likely fell into one of three camps: those that agreed, those that disagreed, and those left asking,“What exactly is a podcast?” The fact remains that most people have never downloaded a podcast despite the nearly doubling in popularity since 2008. The podcast medium is growing along with accessibility. Anyone with a smartphone or computer can access hundreds of thousands of podcasts anywhere, ranging from general comedy, celebrity interviews, sports talk, human interest stories, all the way to ultra specific niches like episode by episode analysis of the 90’s children’s horror anthology series Goosebumps. If you have never heard one, it’s basically a radio show that you download or stream and listen to on your own time, the vast majority of which are free. Almost anyone can make one and release it independently and inexpensively into the marketplace. Podcasters range from tried and true celebrity radio personalities like Adam Carolla, to husband and wife teams who just want a platform to talk about their favorite movies and put it out into the world. Even Howard Stern had to later contend that podcasts are king for subjects too specific for regular radio shows, like learning chess or watercolor painting techniques. Podcasts offer audio content on any conceivable subject, in anything from bite size two-minute chunks, all the way to multi-hour, multi-part epics. There are many video shows as well that fall under the banner of podcast, but for the purposes of this we will focus specifically on audio.

When iTunes celebrated its podcast 10-year anniversary in mid-2015, many articles and lists about the top podcasts and episodes of all time appeared. Trying to narrow this down is an ambitious project, as more hours of podcasting are released every week than are possible to listen to in a lifetime. With that being said, a list of top, standout, or notable episodes opens up a conversation about the power of the medium and highlights its place in your ears. There’s an intimacy available between the podcast and the headphones of the audience that is undeniable and something that can’t necessarily be achieved through TV, movies, or even audiobooks. Everyone’s specific podcast tastes can and should differ, as there is just so much available to enjoy. If you are looking for somewhere to jump in, here are just a few interesting notables, which may get you hooked.

WTF with Marc Maron Episode #103: Judd Apatow More at wtfpod.com WTF is mentioned in the “top podcast” conversation frequently. Marc Maron, a comedian who found his renaissance through podcasting, recently made history interviewing president Barack Obama from his garage, complete with Secret Service snipers on the neighbor’s roof.

But the episode that always stood out for me as a great example of the power of the medium was his first interview with director Judd Apatow. The episode intertwines a very thoughtful 2-part interview, with audio clips from a 16-year-old Apatow’s high school radio show. We hear a young Apatow interviewing comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Gary Shandling mixed into the present day interview with Maron. A meeting of recorded audio past and present.

Radiolab Episode: Dark Side of The Earth

Mystery Show Case #2: Britney

More at radiolab.org

More at gimletmedia.com/show/mystery-show

Radiolab is an essential podcast, with a large catalogue of episodes that are intricately produced with music, sound effects, and interesting stories.

If someone asks where they should start for their first podcast, Radiolab is a good answer. Show topics are typically scientific or philosophical in nature, investigating a specific topic or theme from several angles. In this episode taken from a live show performance, astronaut Dave Wolf “rocketing through the blackness of Earth’s shadow at 5 miles a second, floated out of the Mir Space Station on his very first spacewalk. In this short, he describes the extremes of light and dark in space, relives a heart-pounding close call, and shares one of the most tranquil moments of his life.”

Mystery Show is a show about solving people’s everyday mysteries, that can’t be solved simply by using the Internet. A case is proposed to host Starlee Kine, and she and her team use whatever means necessary to get to the bottom of it. The show reminds us that sometimes research still requires you to leave the house.

Case #2: Britney, features writer and die-hard Britney Spears fan Andrea Seigel. Her second book ‘To Feel Stuff’ disappointingly received little attention. Until one day she gets a Google Alert showing a paparazzi photo of Britney Spears coming out of a restaurant, carrying among other personal effects, the book! The mystery of why and how this happened unfolds from there.

Mystery Show is currently on break with 6 episodes available, so now is a good time to catch up.

Now Playing: The Movie Review Podcast More at nowplayingpodcast.com There’s no shortage of movie review podcasts available, each with their own unique hook when taking on film. If you love everything Stanley Kubrick, “KubickCast” has you covered. Or for a broader perspective, a weekly show like “Filmspotting” incorporates discussion of numerous films into each episode, focused around a film still in theaters and expanding into the hosts’ “Top 5” movie lists on a related theme.

So where does Now Playing—The Movie Review Podcast fit in?

Its scope is more moderate with each episode focusing on a single film usually as part of a multi-film “retrospective series”.

The episode will delve into that particular movie piece by piece starting with a plot summary, a mostly chronological discussion between the 3 hosts complete with extensive detail and trivia, and ending with each host giving their ‘recommend’ or ‘not recommend’. What I really admire about Now Playing is the completist philosophy. For better or for worse, if they begin a retrospective series on “Children of The Corn” they see it through, as painful as it may be, all the way to the ninth installment.

Sometimes the episode is more entertaining than the movie itself.

Check out the Now Playing catalogue by searching for episodes on your favorite movies.

Serial More at serialpodcast.org If you’re not sure you knew what a podcast was, you still may have heard of Serial. Serial is the first Peabody Award winning podcast that follows one true-crime story through a 12 episode season. The first installment aired as a special episode of This American Life and quickly became one of the most popular podcasts of all time. Host Sarah Koenig stays just slightly ahead of the audience week to week as the details and investigation unfold.

Season one follows Adnan Syed who is charged with the 1999 first-degree murder of his high school girlfriend Hae Min Lee.

Throughout the 12 episode arc the listener is taken through an “of course he did/didn’t do it” rollercoaster that hold its own with some of the best true-crime documentaries around. Serial was such a phenomenon that it even spawned several ‘podcasts about a podcast’. Check it out and make sure to listen from the beginning.

Smodcast Episode #222: Dobbling More at smodcast.com Writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma) was relatively early to podcasting with his flagship show Smodcast, an excuse for him and longtime producer friend Scott Mosier to get together and talk once a week. Smith has always been great at crafting an anecdote as seen in An Evening with Kevin Smith, or his annual Hall H appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. In this series of episodes, extending through 4 total parts (#223, #224, #226), Smith finds a cassette tape he recorded of himself at age 20, bicycling around the city and pondering life’s great mysteries.

The tape is played in its entirety and Smith and Mosier break it down line-by-line and comment on each piece of “wisdom” from 20 year old self described “Emo-Kev”. The result is one of the funniest, cringe inducing things to come out of the show.

Notably, Smodcast also inspired the 2014 movie Tusk, a horrorcomedy about a podcaster (Justin Long) who travels to Manitoba in search of an interview for his show, and ends up being surgically transformed into a Walrus by a madman played by Michael Parks. During Smodcast Episode #259: The Walrus and The Carpenter, the movie plot germinated live on the show in conversation between Smith and Mosier, and listeners were asked to Tweet #walrusyes or #walrusno, indicating whether or not Smith should proceed to make the film.

Danica Patrick The American auto racing driver and spokeswoman to headline Palm Beach State College Foundation’s 2016 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Luncheon

Dancia Patrick burst onto the scene in 2005 when she stunned the world by leading 19 laps and finishing fourth in her first Indianapolis 500, becoming the first woman to lead laps and score a top-five finish in the historic race. One week later, she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, becoming the first Indy car driver to be featured in 20 years. In 2009, Patrick took a third place finish at the Indianapolis 500, the highest finish ever by a woman.

encourage female empowerment in male-dominated industries. Dan Cane, CEO & co-founder of Modernizing Medicine, will moderate the conversation.

In 2013, she would make history again as she became the first female NASCAR driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole, turning in the fastest qualifying lap since 1990—qualifying for the Daytona 500. In Daytona, she placed eighth, the highest finish for a woman in the Daytona 500.

The affair will take place at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, February 10, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts’ Cohen Pavilion in West Palm Beach. Individual tickets are $165; a table of 10 is $1,600.

“We are thrilled to welcome Danica to Palm Beach State College,” said President Ava L. Parker. “She is a great example of a woman who has achieved success in a male-dominated, STEAM field. Automotive and transportation industries offer opportunities for both men and women to apply STEAM education to highly skilled jobs while earning a high salary. Patrick’s determination is inspiring, and we look forward to learning more about her journey.”

In 2016, the Foundation will enter its fourth year in its multi-year initiative to impact the projected shortage of local, skilled professionals in the STEAM fields. Its goals are to increase student scholarships, business partnerships, internships and other academic program enhancements to prepare more graduates for these high-wage, high-demand positions.

At the STEAM event, Patrick plans to discuss her exploration of these fields and share her story to Photos courtesy of ©Danica Patrick

CREATIVE + CONSCIOUS CULTURE IN SOUTH FLORIDA

LOST MIAMI

David Bulit, 26, was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He began urban exploring in 2009 after watching a documentary about it and becoming interested in the history people had left behind as well as the people involved in urban exploring. His love for photography grew from it as a way to share the places he visits and photographs with others.

His website, Abandoned Florida, www.abandonedfl.com was started as a personal means to share his work online. Working together with other explorers and photographers in the state, the website has grown into a collection and archive of places long lost and forgotten.

A freelance photographer, he photographs everything from weddings to portraits to landscapes. Since 2010, he continues to work on his website, updating it when he can.

What lasting impact do you hope your book will leave?

DB: I hope my book will push for preservation of some of these buildings as some are historic and a big part of our city. I also hope this will get people interested in the history surrounding not just Miami, but Florida, instead of just being known as the Sunshine State.
