L

ike the Aurora Borealis, a phenomenon seems to have occurred on the local art scene – two galleries in Jersey City and one in Hoboken are having group exhibitions featuring all women artists.

ShuaSpace in Jersey City presents THE BETTYS #GRLPARADISE opening July 30; AMERICAN LAUNDRY is now showing at L.I.T.M; and at the TEENSY WEENSY WONDERS Show opening this week at EatMetal Art Jewelry Gallery and Metal Studio, five women artists show small scale works that are whimsical and fun.

THE BETTYS’ #GRLPARADISE Jul 30-Aug 13, 3:30-8:30 pm, Opening Reception Sat, Jul 30, 6-10 pm SHUASPACE 340 Summit Ave, JC (201) 993-9668 www.shuaspace.org www.thebettys.com THE BETTYS is a female art collective that launched in November 2014 and according to its director Aurora Diaz of Cliffside Park, “we do everything possible to create awareness of the lady art scene.” The Bettys #GRLPARADISE – a group show of works by 12 women artists opens Sat, July 30 and runs through Sat, Aug 13 at ShuaSpace in Jersey City.

Con’t from page 2 bi-monthly zines -- both hard copy and online,” Diaz says. “We also put out limited edition zines that are designed by female artists. The sky’s the limit.”

This show marks The Bettys’ 15th event, Diaz says, and she’s asked the artists to go full blast with their ideas.

“I like to give the artists liberty to create what they want and #GRL PARADISE is about women,” Diaz says. “When you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and you see women, they’re usually the ones being painted, not painting. When it comes to this show, I got a group of women to interpret what women think is fun. I picked a very diverse group of women whose work comments on self-esteem, or something light-hearted like women as aliens.

There’s definitely humor in the show.”

Ruth’s work features largescale poster-like works with images and sayings, somewhat political, somewhat philosophical.

It reminds one viewer of an early Yoko Ono show where gallery visitors had to climb ladders to read messages like “breathe” written on posterboard. new exhibition featuring small-scale art jewelry and objects that create little worlds that are “magical, intriguing and sometimes even inspiring.”

LONG GONE DADDY

Actor, Playwright Joe Gallo of Hoboken debuts New Play on Fatherhood Mile Square Theatre’s Playwright-in-Residence Debuts new Solo Show

By Sally Deering

one-man show). I had not intended to revisit this character, but then suddenly I sat down, and it was that character spinning the yarns.

A

life in the theater can be a wonderful journey if he or she sticks it out long enough and for actor and playwright Joseph Gallo, his long day’s journey in the theater continues to be mined with opportunities.

He just had two of his plays published by River City Books; and as playwrightin-residence at Mile Square Theatre (MST) in Hoboken, Gallo is about to debut his newest one-man show, LONG GONE DADDY directed by MST artistic director Chris O’Connor.

Performances begin July 20 and run through August 7 in the company’s new theater on the corner of 14th & Clinton.

Prior to this, Gallo workshopped his play Two-Man Kidnapping Rule at MST. It was later produced by the New Ohio Theatre in New York, and published in Smith & Kraus’s anthology 2012 Best Men’s Stage Monologues and Scenes.

As a solo writer/performer Gallo appeared in the original production of his oneman show My Italy Story at Penguin Rep in Stony Point, NY, which later had its debut Off-Broadway at the 47th Street Theatre in New York, starring Danny Mastrogiorgio (“…a compelling page turner.”—The New York Times). An avid storyteller, Gallo won a StorySLAM championship at The Moth in NYC. As a teacher, Gallo

founded and developed Hudson County Community College’s Theatre Arts program where he serves as Coordinator of Theatre and Film. He is the 2016 recipient of the Lincoln Center Prize for Innovative Teaching in Theatre. Gallo holds an MFA in Playwriting from Ohio University; and grew up in Linden, New Jersey. He a long-time Hoboken resident where he lives with his wife and daughter.

Since late 2014, Gallo has been perfecting LONG GONE DADDY, performing scenes on a ‘salon tour’ of interested backers’ homes to raise money for MSTs new theater space.

After more than a year of refining the work, Gallo says he’s ready for the stage and a bigger audience to tell his latest story.

it has the authority of fact and the freedom of fiction.

Audiences are obsessed with what is true and what isn’t true. My most basic answer is that life doesn’t play out in three perfect acts. If you are handcuffed to the details of your life, you come up short with plot points and conflict (when writing the play).

RVO: How did you come to write LONG GONE DADDY? JG: After my wife got pregnant I started to keep a notebook. I knew life was going to change, so I thought I’ll keep the journal through the first year of my kid’s life. From the moment of my wife’s pregnancy to my child’s first birthday. I did that and then I closed that notebook.

Most of what was in that notebook, is all I needed RVO: Is LONG GONE (for the play). But I had so DADDY autobiographical? much on my plate at the JG: There are strokes of time, I didn’t get back to it the play that are real; and for a couple of years. Then its emotionally autobioI opened my notebook and graphical. I’m quoting from I realized this is the same my own book now: it’s character as “My Italy semi-autobiographic; Story” (Gallo’s first

RVO: And are you ready for opening night on July 20?

JG: Yes! Rehearsals are going well. Director Chris O’Connor is terrific

to work with, and now the tech team has to catch up with me. I started working on the lines in mid-May so I came into rehearsals off book. Jeff Daniels did that for the play BLACKBIRD and I thought his performance was extraordinary.

It was a physically demanding show, and he said he got off book right away because it was one less thing he had to focus on. I saw the director and asked how Jeff Daniels prepared and the director said he runs the entire show every morning.

I asked, is he married? The director said, “no”. Does he have kids? “No.” Well then, of course he can run through it every morning. (laughing) RVO: Didn’t you just get your solo shows published?

JG: Yes. LONG GONE DADDY along with MY ITALY STORY were published last week by River City Books.

RVO: How do you juggle both acting and playwriting?

JG: I’ve always done both, and my entire life has been a push and pull between those two things. Initially I was an actor and wanted to write screenplays. It wasn’t till I joined the Waterfront Ensemble in Hoboken that I became a playwright. I can’t understate the amount of credit they deserve for my development. We had the top floor of the YMCA on Washington Street. It was a huge group of writers like Rosemary McLaughlin, Andrew Young, David Crespy. So there it was, a great breeding ground for acting and writing. Every week I’d bring in new work and the group would read it and actors would do it live in front of the group. Then afterwards, we’d all get a slice at Benny’s (Benny Tudino’s pizzeria), a few Cont’d on page 8

LONG GONE DADDY

Cont’d from page7 beers at O’Reilly’s on Bloomfield, then go home and write all night. I gave myself one year to do my writing and then I would go back to acting if nothing panned out but I never went back. I used to say to my wife that when my hair goes gray I’ll go back. My hair is now gray, so I’m back.

RVO: After the Waterfront Ensemble, you went to L.A? JG: I went to L.A. to write screenplays and TV stuff for five years

have been collaborating on dance theater projects.

In fact, we’re finishing up a three-part trilogy which will play Roulette in Brooklyn. Right now as we speak, she’s creating and choreographing the third piece. So now, I’m wearing the director’s hat. But it’s not a matter of ‘am I this’ or ‘am I that’. It’s not a career in the theater, it’s a life in the theater and to make a life is to do everything. You have to look at ‘a’, what opportunities are there; and ‘b’, what are you passionate about? I love the collaboration.

RVO: And now you’re directing as well as acting and writing?

JG: Yes. My wife and I

RVO: Can you talk about the collaborative process in theater?

JG: Collaboration is the

antithesis of being a playwright, which requires you to be in a room by yourself for a long time. The collaborative process fulfills something else in me. I want to spend quality time with myself and I also want to go to the party and dance around with a lampshade on my head. (laughing.)

I’m a well-rounded guy.

“REUSE, REDUCE, REPURPOSE: THE ART OF REFUSE” REUSE, REDUCE, REPURPOSE: THE ART OF REFUSE, curated by Anne Trauben, features Thai artist Thammakit Thamboon’s sculpture outdoors on the front lawn and April Ford, Barbara Lubliner, Jodie Fink, Kate Dodd, Laura Petrovich Cheney, Linda Byrne, Maggie Ens, Robert Lach and Tyrome Tripoli sculpture and installation in 9 gallery rooms.

The artists of ReUse, ReDuce, RePurpose: The Art of ReFuse make their work with trash, junk and other recyclable materials to give these objects new life, while others speak of the impact these objects have on the environment as well calling attention to other environmental concerns.

The term “junk

art” was first coined in the early 1960’s to describe Rauschenberg’s 1950’s works made from scrap metal, broken-up machinery, cloth rags, timber, waste paper and other “found” materials. Other early works include art made by Picasso, Duchamp and Schwitters, junk art has analogies in Dada, the works of Alberto Burri and later Arte Povera artists, and the California Funk art movement. Junk Art

incorporates the use of banal, ordinary, everyday materials which force the viewer to see objects beyond their initial intended purpose, and trash beyond a garbage pail and landfill.

The public is invited to the Artist Reception for REUSE, REDUCE, REPURPOSE: THE ART OF REFUSE on Sunday, 7/17/16 from 3-6pm, and to the free Artist Talks on Saturday 7/30/16, and Sunday, 7/31/16 from 2:305:30pm, where they can meet the artists in a smallgroup setting to learn about their work.

Weegee’s photographs show the Bowery when it was Skid Row, a gathering place for derelicts and down-and-out transients who huddled in the shadow of the Third Avenue elevated railway. It was notorious for its fleabag hotels, flop houses that offered 25-cent-per-night beds, and crowded all-night missions that provided food and shelter to those who could afford neither. Also, an extensive array of Weegee’s photographs of Sammy’s, a raucous nightclub on the Bowery. From its opening in 1934, until it closed its doors in 1970, Sammy’s provided a setting where adventurous uptown sophisticates could mingle with the bar’s flamboyant entertainers and harddrinking regulars.”

The intersection point between edges. Birthed in Haiti, growing up in The Bahamas and living in America resulted in my interest of identity politics, and how an understanding of structures of identity change based upon geography and culture. In my work I explore issues of race, identity, and otherness. Familiar narratives are often co-opted and gives the audience -who sometimes is also a collaborator- access of engaging and redefining together with me. My work exists as social sculpture, installation and performative processes.”

JUST Beclaws

Vietnamese Cajun Seafood in Downtown JC Three Sibling Restaurateurs Focus on Quality & Freshness

By Sally Deering

T

he best place in the northeast for seafood is New England, right? They even named a chowder in honor of its seafood niche.

But who needs New England when Hudson has its own bustling seafood restaurant on First Street in downtown Jersey City: JUST Beclaws, a 60-seat Vietnamese Cajun seafood eatery has been open a little more than a year and already it’s the go-to destination for foodies who like their shellfish fresh and cooked to perfection.

What also makes the restaurant special are its three owners, siblings, Francis Tran, 32, Nambinh Tran, 27, and Aivy Tran, 34. The three grew up in Jersey City learning the restaurant business from their parents who owned Miss Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant right up the street on Newark Ave. “We like seafood,” Francis says. “We like to catch it –although we don’t serve what we catch.”

Seafood – mainly Shellfish -- is the star of the show at JUST Beclaws.

Aivy, Francis and Nambinh Tran, three siblings and owners of JUST Beclaws.

Page 16-July 14-July 31,2016 River View Observer

One side of the menu is devoted to Appetizers, Sandwiches, Sides, and Dessert; the other side is a list of shellfish served by the pound, seasoned with a choice of seasonings and hot sauce if you like. The choices are Shrimp ($13), Clams ($13), and Mussels ($12); Crawfish, Lobster, Blue Crab, Snow Crab, King Crab, and Dungeness crab, which are priced at market rate. Choice of seasonings include Garlic Butter, O’bay, Cajun, Lemon Pepper and O’bay with Garlic Butter.

Appetizers include the Fried Shrimp Basket with French fries; Southern Fried Catfish Basket, Crab Cake, Fried Calamari, Fried Oysters, and Cajun, or Sweet Potato Fries. ($4$12) Sandwiches feature Po’Boys – a choice of Shrimp, Oyster, Catfish or Softshell – Lobster Roll and Crab Cake. ($11-$18) For meat-lovers, Wings are served by the dozen or half dozen ($6-$12); and there’s a Chicken Tenders appetizer with fries. ($7) On Yelp.com the reviews are fantastic, like this one from Aly L. of Jersey City: “…I recently visited Maine (lobster land!) and I made it a point to have a lobster roll at every

restaurant I went to.Still, the best lobster rolls I’ve had are from JUST BECLAWS! Their lobster rolls are cooked lightly in butter, which allows you to really savor and appreciate the lobster without the overwhelming taste of mayo... and they are not cheap with their lobster portions.

Another favorite of mine: crab fries. Do yourself a favor and just order them when you get there. You can thank me later…”

The restaurant gets very busy especially on weekend nights, Francis says.

“We’ve had regulars since day one,” Nambinh adds. “We have people come from New York, Connecticut, Maryland. We have regulars who eat here three times a week, sometimes twice a day.”

How do three siblings run a restaurant? Francis describes himself as the maintenance man (he left a 9-year apprenticeship as an electrician to build and run the restaurant) Aivy manages business affairs and handles the bookkeeping; and Nambinh keeps his sights on what goes on in the kitchen. All three know how to cook the menu; and can jump in at a moment’s notice.

FORMER JERSEY CITY RESIDENT ABRAHAM J. SANTIAGO PENS NEW BOOK ON SOCIAL HISTORY OF ACAPPELLA MUSIC GENRE Author and film documentarian Abraham Santiago, a former downtown Jersey City resident unveils the definitive history of contemporary acappella within the confines of rhythm and blues vocal group singing In his new book ACAPELLA LIVING IN THE SHADOWS 1963-1973 A SOCIAL HISTORY. Santiago captures the spirit of the 1960s and beyond revealing the birth of acappella as a new pop genre. With rare photos and abundant background information Santiago pioneers a new path in vocal

group singing via acappella.

With an extensive discography on acappella recordings, this work will inform and educate fans and students.

This work is the first comprehensive and respectful study of this musical genre.

Santiago writes from experience having sang with an acappella group called “The Concepts” throughout the 1960s.

The Concepts were a fourman vocal group made up of Puerto Rican Jersey City area friends their recording “Yo Me Pregunto” on Catamount

Page 18 July 14-July 31, 2016 River View Observer

Abraham J. Santiago Records a Jersey based label run by the late Stan Krause broke ground as one of the first acappella hispanic recordings.

Santiago best describes his entree’ into singing acappella this way,” The new vocal group sound was no longer black groups singing songs of the past decades, but nonafrican Americans singing, promoting and preserving the black sound of the 1950s.”

ACAPPELLA LIVING IN THE SHADOWS 1963-1973 A SOCIAL HISTORY captures the spirit of the 1960s and beyond revealing the birth of acappella as a new pop genre from a social historical perspective. His new book pioneers a new path in vocal group singing during the cultural upheaval of the 1960s.
