The answer isn’t to demand certain images be off-limits.

The long-term answer is to get more varied points of view represented and published.

Taking offense: the RBJ cartoon

The group thinkers move, once more, to squelch opinions that run counter to their fragile PC sensibilities.

Political debate requires two sides, but the left can’t handle opposing views so the Opinions Page becomes an echo chamber.

We don’t need more sensitivity training, we need more insensitivity training.

A recent editorial cartoon published in the Rochester Business Journal, mocking transgender people, led to protests and to an apology from RBJ editor Ben Jacobs. In addition, the RBJ decided to stop publishing editorial cartoons, which, Jacobs said, weren’t consistent with the publication’s mission.

Our article about the controversy generated a discussion about the purpose of editorial cartoons, including two comments from cartoonists themselves.

Although my views are diametrically opposed to my fellow cartoonist, Rick McKee’s, I stand with those who say the paper should not have apologized for running it.

We can either pretend that views we disagree with don’t exist or we can look at them squarely and counter them with better arguments or, in this case, better cartoons that argue for another point of view –or many points of view!

Cartoons don’t kill people.

Let them start conversation, not stop it.

Dehumanizing and demonizing people because you don’t like some of their political views is antiAmerican. We are all in this together. Play nice.

City’s ‘deer’ ad

I wasn’t particularly concerned when I saw that City had

expanded its revenue stream by inserting advertising supplements into its paper.

Times are financially tough for newspapers, especially alternative ones.

But what I did find unconscionable and shocking was that your October 24 issue included an ad stating the following: “Fallow deer. 6 remain. You hunt –$1500.”

For your paper to make a few dollars running ads for local merchants is one thing.

But to offer a blood-sport vendor the use of your paper to promote his barbarism is nothing short of despicable.

LARRY BAKER

City publishers’ response: Most of us in the media have a strong commitment to freedom of speech, and that includes commercial speech.

That means we publish letters to the editor expressing opinions we disagree with. We interview political candidates we disagree with. We publish advertising for political candidates we don’t agree with. And we publish ads for services and products that we don’t like, as long as they’re legal and aren’t libelous, racist, anti-Semitic, etc.

The news media have a privilege that most people don’t: the ability to send out our editorial opinions to a vast number of people.

That privilege comes with the responsibility to leave some of our space open to the publication of things we don’t agree with, whether that’s a promotion for a political candidate or products and services.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The next big thing: RBTL by the river It could turn out to be something terrific: a big, multi-use complex a block wide and a block deep along Main Street on the east side of the river downtown.

If all goes well, the tired, pink Rochester Riverside Hotel will be torn down. In its place will be a new hotel, apartments or condos, a garage, and two theaters: a 3000-seat venue designed primarily for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League and a smaller one for the Convention Center and local arts and community groups.

When you look at the renderings done by LaBella and SWBR, you can imagine the area alive with activity: some people walking along the riverfront or spilling out of the complex onto an outdoor terrace, others heading inside for a performance or streaming across the second-level pedestrian bridge.... And in a glass-fronted tower behind, people are looking out of their apartments toward a band getting ready to perform in Charles Carroll Plaza across the river.

That’s the vision for what’s currently being called Riverside Place. It isn’t a done deal, by any means. The cost is estimated at $250 million. There’ll have to be a lot of private financing: equity from the developer and bank loans for the hotel and residential part, and donations for the theater. But there’ll also have to be a lot of government funding, for the garage and the two theaters – the Convention Center’s and RBTL’s.

This is no pipedream, though. City officials are excited about the project, and they say, so are state officials they’ve talked to about funding.

The project eliminates two points of controversy that have dogged the Warren administration. Originally, the theater was to occupy Parcel 5, a key piece of the former Midtown Plaza site. Since Midtown’s demolition, Parcel 5 has hosted some hugely successful events, and activists have been urging the city to transform it into a permanent, multi-use, public open space.

Moving the RBTL theater farther down Main Street also avoids a potentially difficult City Council vote. Parcel 5 is public land, and Mayor Warren wasn’t

Moving RBTL’s theater from Parcel 5 to the riverside solves some problems, opens up new opportunities, and raises questions. assured of the two-thirds vote she would need in order to sell it. The new site is privately owned.

The move seems to make sense, but there are questions. How much public funding is needed? How much is justifiable? Does the move affect the revenue projections for RBTL’s theater?

Then there’s the future of Parcel 5. Will Warren seek a new developer? Or will she recommend turning it into public space, as the activists have urged? City officials say the Warren administration won’t make a decision until at least after the first of the year.

I’m glad so much development is taking place downtown. I’m glad so many people are moving there. But the metropolitan population isn’t growing appreciably. I can’t be the only person wondering how much development is sustainable.

Unless developers are lining up to build on Parcel 5, if I were the mayor, I’d put thoughts about development on hold. I’d replace the gravel with grass, plant some trees, stage a few events, let the public stage a few more, and sit back and watch.

Which leaves one more piece of unfinished business from the RBTL-Parcel 5 controversy, and it’s a big one: local government’s commitment to the arts. A recent consultant’s study said a new RBTL theater could help all arts organizations.

But it also said Rochester needs a funding mechanism to support all of them. More on that in a few weeks.

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

Assult charges for RPD officer

Michael Sippel, one of two Rochester police officers accused of injuring Rochester resident Christopher Pate in May, has been charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. He’ll be arraigned November 15.

Pate says Sippel and Officer Spenser McAvoy stopped and questioned him during a search for a suspect. Although he showed them his identification, showing that he was not the suspect, they beat him, Pate says, causing injuries serious enough that he was treated at Rochester General Hospital.

The officers’ actions were recorded on a police body camera, and in late August, both were suspended without pay. And Mayor Lovely Warren and Police Chief Michael Ciminelli asked Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley to review the case, which led a grand jury’s decision last week to charge Sippel.

McAvoy was not charged.

Mayor Lovely Warren said the decision is “the first step” in the judicial process. “We must accept these decisions,” she said, “and allow the criminal justice system to take its course.” City Council President Loretta Scott called the decision “significant” and

said she was “encouraged that the wheels of justice are beginning to move in the right direction.”

But the Reverend Lewis Stewart, a longtime civil-rights activist, said he was “extremely displeased” with the grand jury’s decision to not charge McAvoy and to charge Sippel only with a misdemeanor. “It is an insult to Christopher Pate,” he said, “and also an insult to the community.”

Dinolfo’s budget has taxes down, revenue up

Asylum denied for Hernandez

Abigail Hernandez, a former Rochester student who allegedly posted a threat on social media, is facing deportation after a federal immigration judge rejected her request for asylum. Hernandez was born in Mexico and isn’t a US citizen, and the judge says she doesn’t meet the criteria for asylum.

Hernandez, who remains in custody in the Batavia federal detention center, has 30 days to appeal the judge’s decision.

Hernandez allegedly posted a message on the East High School Facebook page saying she was going to the school to shoot people. Hernandez was a special education student with developmental disabilities and needs adult supervision, according to her family.

Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo has introduced her third county budget proposal.

NOVEMBER 7 - 13, 2018

Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo’s 2019 budget will knock the county tax rate down by a dime, making it $8.89 per $1,000 assessed value. That’s if the proposal passes, which it probably will, since Dinolfo’s a Republican and the majority of legislators are Republican.

The rate has been flat at $8.99 for roughly a decade, Dinolfo said as she presented her $1.2 billion budget proposal last week. The cut in the tax rate comes without any layoffs, new service charges, or gimmicks, she said. It adds money for child care assistance and Child Protective Services staff and includes $5 million money for contract settlements with the county’s unions. It also includes funding for the state’s new Raise the Age juvenile justice initiative.

So what gives? How was the county able to budget this stuff and knock down the tax rate?

Dinfolo attributes it to staff sharpening their pencils and finding efficiencies; to savings from contract reassessments and

debt refinancing; to a drop healthcare costs; to savings from ending special-purpose, quasi-governmental local development corporations and bringing their functions back inhouse; and to projected increases in sales tax collections.

Here’s what she didn’t say. The property tax levy – the total amount raised from property taxes – under the proposal is increasing, from $382.8 million in the 2018 budget to $394.4 million in the new budget. The assessed value of taxable properties in Monroe increased by $1.7 billion, too: it grew to $43.3 billion, up from $41.6 billion. That’s not a criticism or something to hide, that’s a healthy way to let the budget grow, and is generally considered good practice.

Next up: The legislature will debate the proposal, and legislature Democrats will start dissecting it.

The budget has to be approved by mid-December.

The owner of a beleaguered low-income apartment complex on Thurston Road has agreed not to force out any residents for now. Residents and housing activists have been vocal about poor conditions at 447 Thurston Road and have been pushing for Thurston Road Realty to make major repairs.

HOUSING | BY JEREMY MOULE

Residents of troubled complex get a win Barbara Rivera and her two young children were just hours from losing their apartment at 447 Thurston Road when she and the other tenants in the building got a reprieve, at least in part because the building’s owner, Thurston Road Realty is selling the property.

Rivera had complained about the deteriorating apartment over the past year, even going as far as taking the problems to a City Court judge. A few months after she moved in, a piece of the ceiling fell. The building has problems with cockroaches and mice, it’s not secure, it has black mold, and “the heating in the winter sucks,” she says.

Representatives from Thurston Road Realty, the company formerly controlled by New York City investor Peter Hungerford, told her that she and her children would have to leave the apartment by October 30; advocates working with the City-Wide Tenant Union say she was being pushed out because of those complaints. But when October 30 arrived, representatives for the landlord notified Ryan Acuff, an activist and organizer working with the tenant union, that for the time being, the company wouldn’t force people out of their apartments.

The news came as a relief to Rivera.

“It was so stressful trying to figure out where I was going to put all my belongings,” Rivera said.

Rivera and other residents of 447 Thurston Road, as well as activists working with the City-Wide Tenant Union, see last week’s commitment from Thurston Road Realty as a victory.

They’ve been calling on the company to stop evicting or displacing residents and to make serious repairs to the building, as well as to another Thurston Road Realtyowned property at 967 Chili Avenue.

The City of Rochester also sued the company and Hungerford to force repairs at the complexes. City Court Judge Maija Dixon, who is overseeing the case, has ordered Thurston Road Realty to make repairs and report back on its progress.

And Brenden Kyle, the other partner in Thurston Road Realty, has since pushed Hungerford out of the company, according to Acuff.

Residents of the Thurston Road complex see additional reason to be hopeful that the property will be repaired. Home Leasing, a family-owned Rochester company with a large portfolio that includes subsidized housing, has a contract to buy the building if certain contingencies are met, says Adam Driscoll,

the company’s development manager.

“They’ve been very open, accessible,” Acuff says. “They’ve been very respectful.”

Home Leasing also has a contract to buy 967 Chili Avenue from Thurston Road Realty, Driscoll says.

PUBLIC SAFETY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

RIT focuses on gun violence Since 2000 there have been nearly 3,000 shootings in Rochester, resulting in about 3,655 shooting victims. And only 20 percent of the shootings resulted in an arrest, according to police records.

Rochester’s shooting rate is not dramatically different from other cities, says Irshad Altheimer, director of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Public Safety Initiatives. What is different about Rochester, however, is that its police department has been collecting comprehensive data about each shooting for several years, Altheimer says. And it has led to some important revelations.

For instance, about 60 percent of shootings that took place in Rochester from 2010 through 2013 involved retaliation and was linked to a dispute. Given the need to stop gun violence in many US cities, including Rochester, a big question, Altheimer says, is whether it’s possible to determine which gunshot victims are at higher risk of becoming shooters themselves. And, he says, whether it’s possible to stop that person from escalating the violence by retaliating.

The Center has developed a research program that will launch in January called Community Engagement to Reduce Victimization, to try to tackle retaliatory violence through what Altheimer calls hospital-based intervention.

“We want to focus on trauma-involved care, because we don’t often think about these people, shooting victims, as true victims who are suffering,” says Altheimer.

Once their medical condition is stabilized, they often don’t receive any further care, even though they may be experiencing fear, anxiety, anger, and other emotional problems, he says.

And Altheimer doesn’t look at the issue only from an academic’s perspective. He was a victim of a shooting, as well.

“In 1997, I was coming home from college and I got hit three times,” he says.

His best friend was killed in the event, and Altheimer was taken to the Seattle Medical Center. After he recovered, he was simply sent home.

“No one ever followed up,” he says.

“That was it. No one was concerned about what I thought or what I would do next.

And 20 years later, it really hasn’t changed that much. It’s still ‘Gauze them up and send them home.’”

6 CITY

NOVEMBER 7 - 13, 2018

Altheimer and his team are working with Pathways to Peace, United Christian Leadership Ministries, and Action for a Better Community on the research program. The team will work with about 30 victims who are admitted to Rochester General Hospital for gunshot, stabbing, and blunt-force trauma. RGH’s security will immediately contact Pathways to Peace, and a member of Pathways’ response team will be on site within 20 minutes. They will analyze whether the injury was the result of a dispute and whether the conflict has risen to the point where it poses a high risk for retaliation.

The assessment and follow up can take many forms, such as working with the victims, their family members, and their friends to do everything possible to dissuade them from seeking revenge. It could also mean asking the hospital administrators to keep the victim – their patient – in the hospital for a short time until all parties have calmed down. It could even mean moving the victim out of town and into temporary housing until the conflict can be de-escalated.

“We are especially concerned about the victims and their families,” says the Reverend Lewis Stewart, leader of United Christian Leadership Ministries, “and we will be concentrating our efforts in helping them through their suffering. This is a time when the family needs to grieve, but they also need hope.”

There is a tendency to leave families alone in their grief and allow them to process what has happened, Stewart says.

“This is not the time for them to be alone,” Stewart says. “We want to do work similar to the work and the counselling that the Friends and Family of Murdered Children has offered. We’d like to build on this and try to enhance it.”

Stewart is especially concerned about young black males, because they are often vulnerable to street violence, and some don’t have a positive male role model in their life, Stewart says. If they become a victim or someone they care about is a victim, they don’t have a support system to help them through it.

“We need to be there for them,” Stewart says. “We need to help them understand that, ‘No, this type of thing is not normal, regardless of what community you live in.’” They need to know that

Irshad Altheimer and others in the RIT project hope to learn whether it’s possible to determine which gunshot victims are at higher risk of becoming shooters themselves. FILE PHOTO

retaliation is not going to help anyone, Stewart says.

Programs like RIT’s have some serious challenges, though, Altheimer says. In urban communities, as Stewart notes, the victims are often young men of color. And they frequently don’t have a favorable view of police or the justice system, so they may be reluctant to seek help.

There are other reasons people hesitate to call or talk to the police when they are a victim of a shooting, Altheimer says.

“Some people actually are criminally involved themselves, so how can they turn to police for some form of dispute

resolution for help?” he says. “Others fear that they may be re-victimized or someone in their family will be hurt.

And if the status quo is that many shootings don’t result in an arrest, why would you call the police, since there is little consequence?”

There is also a strong inclination for everyone involved to pre-judge a young shooting victim.

“Often our first thought is this type of violence doesn’t happen to innocent people, so they must have been doing something wrong,” he says. “That’s not where we want to go with this.”

Flavors of the world at Atlas Eats [ REVIEW ] BY RACHEL CRAWFORD

Travel doesn’t have to be a physical experience. Sometimes we travel through books and film, but much of the time we travel through food. Globe-trotting chef Anthony Bourdain’s legacy is inspiring but it isn’t feasible for everyone to eat international dishes abroad.

After he died in June of 2018, foodies became nostalgic for, and re-inspired by, his ethos of exploring world cultures through food. This is something we can do right here in Rochester.

Owners Diane and Gerry Brinkman opened their third restaurant, Atlas Eats, in 2012, because they wanted to share their passion for global cuisine.

The interior of the Irondequoit restaurant and bake shop is adorned with maps, and even the coffee mugs are little glass globes.

Atlas is a great place to have a regular date night, because as Chef Gerry says, “It’s like a new restaurant every two weeks.”

This weekend, the Mexican-themed Dia de los Muertos menu brings the holiday-inspired dishes to Rochestarians.

Each course has a dash of something uniquely Mexican to it as well as something original.

The first course is a tamale filled with turkey achiote, wrapped in banana leaf instead of the traditional corn husk. The achiote, or recado rojo, is a spice paste that the Brinkmans brought back from Mexican markets during their last trip to the Yucatán Peninsula.

Served as the second course, the ceviche is a contender for star of the show. The lime scallops are beautifully presented atop a bed of chopped avocado, mango, and slices of fresh coconut. But a pleasantly surprising dish on the menu is the third course: the warming poblano chile soup, served in Atlas’s famous “spaceship bowls.”

The heat is less intimidating than it sounds and is comforting on a chilly fall evening. And if you’re lucky, Brenda Robak, the baker who has been with the

Brinkmans since 1990, will come by your table with a variety of breads for dipping.

Chef Gerry has been sourcing much of his produce from the Rochester Public Market for more than forty years now, and has built a strong rapport with local businesses like Halal Market & Meats.

He comes up with the dinner themes but the overall execution is a joint effort between him and his daughter, Chef de Cuisine Anna Mooney Brinkman. Anna started prepping at previously Brinkmanowned restaurant, the Rochester Club, on Saturdays when she was six years-old.

“I would have to stand on milk crates in order to reach the top of the table to cut zucchinis and yellow squash,” she says. I loved it right from that age.”

She attended culinary school at Johnson & Wales University, but says she believes much of her talent comes from her father’s guidance in the kitchen.

“Holidays inspire us,” Diane Brinkman says. “Every New Year’s Eve we do a New Orleans theme, and the last menu was in celebration of Oktoberfest.”

Holiday feasts are one of the few reasons we’re obliged to travel to see loved ones and sit across from one another, and to fill the open silence with conversation. At the Dia de la Muertos dinner, I brought my inquisitive 12-yearold son, whose curiosity was piqued by the Spanish titles of the courses and the geography of Mexico, and how he can have a conversation with his firstgeneration Mexican friend about his new knowledge of the Day of the Dead.

The Dia de los Muertos menu continues through Saturday, November 10, at Atlas Eats (2185 North Clinton Avenue). The next theme will be Autumn in New England. (Be sure to ask about the cocktail specially paired with each new dinner.) Dinner is five courses and is a steal at $49, which includes gratuity.

Reservations can be made for 6 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. 544-1300; atlas-eats.com.

o two artistic paths are alike. On living a creative life, “The Hero’s Journey” author Joseph Campbell said: “If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path.” But as you’re carving your path, you’d better be carrying a machete, he said, referring to the messy weedwhacking required to create your own trail.

Following your creative bliss is hard work, and for most artists this labor is overtime, done between and after hours spent at day jobs where they earn the means to live. Success often emerges from the precarious

balance of dedicating lonely hours to their craft and finding crucial social connections within a creative scene.

Each year, CITY spotlights four young artists who are creating engaging work but are still in the early years of their artistic careers. Our 2018 selections — photographer Will Cornfield, painter G. E. DeGroat, assemblage artist and vintage pinball machine restorer Ashley Ludwig, and experimental film artist Alexandria Mockbee — are each creating their own paths, taking chances and often unexpected opportunities to find their way forward.

PHOTOGRAPHY | willcornfield.com; @willcornfield

WILL

Cornfield I t’s not common for a 24-year-old who is not a celebrity to have tens of thousands of followers on Instagram. Will Cornfield’s current number is more than 32,000 people. They follow him for his dreamy, fashioninspired digital portraits of beautiful youths striking poses in wide open fields or in abandoned industrial settings.

Cornfield’s talent occasionally takes him on the road; he recently returned from shooting at the Lynchstock Music Festival in Virginia, where he was hired by organizers to document the sights. He also takes client-based formal portraits for some companies in Rochester, and works as a bartender at Radio Social.

The influence fashion has had on Cornfield’s work is clear: Each of his diverse set of models looks slightly intimidatingly cool and self-possessed, and their stances deliberately showcase their threads. They make moody, direct eye contact with the camera, or they stare into the middle distance, absorbed in some private thought. Occasionally there’s a shot capturing an unguarded moment of effervescent grinning.

Like many portrait photographers, Cornfield loves capturing subjects in the “golden hour” right as the summer sun is setting, or taking advantage of the scattered light from an overcast sky. The gloominess makes every hue in the image pop like crazy. He’s a true ace at getting his angles and lighting just so, capturing sun-kissed cheekbones and making use of shadows that partly obscure a subject. And he takes advantage of the fact that we actually have four seasons here, shooting outside throughout the year, in humidity and icy wind alike.

Cornfield chooses his subjects based on simply spotting someone who he thinks looks interesting, and he’ll approach strangers to ask if he can photograph them — “sometimes at a café, sometimes when I have a little more courage after a drink at a bar,” he says with a laugh. His supremely chilled-out personality makes him an easy person to talk and work with, and he’s also learned from being on the other side of a camera when he’s modeled for student photographer friends.

He has a hand in styling the models and directing them throughout the shoots, and will

go thrifting for clothing with his models, but he’ll occasionally work with a makeup artist or stylist to achieve a specific look.

There’s also a cinematic feel to Cornfield’s images, which he says is inspired by single

Cornfield, his cousin, and friends would take photographs using their iPhones while out on rambles in their hometown of Corning. They’d snap and share images of each other and interesting bits of rural nature.

Cornfield says his number of Instagram followers began to balloon while he was still in high school, and he was able to connect with photographers all over the country who shared photography knowledge with him.

“All because of this app,” he says.

frames in films that have caught his attention and stuck with him — most recently the 2017 film “A Ghost Story.” “The final goal, the goal through editing, is to make it look like it’s a part of a movie,” he says of his work.

Cornfield’s appreciation for photography began early: He took a photography class in grade school, and would frequently capture imagery with disposable cameras and borrow his mom’s Cyber-shot camera. But it was social media that secured his interest in pursuing photography seriously. Instagram had just emerged as a platform for sharing images when he was in high school.

He realized he needed to focus on creating better and better content. Freshman year he saved up money and bought a decent starter digital camera from a friend, but says he still shot mostly with his iPhone while he learned to use the camera.

His method of creating work is pretty on-the-fly, even in the cases when he’s spent weeks thinking about and planning out a shoot, mood boards be damned. “My general process is: Waking up in the morning, seeing that it’s a nice day outside, knowing that I want to go shoot, and texting five people to see who’s available,” he says. “A lot of the

time, those are the best shoots.”

Cornfield meets up with whoever gets back to him, and puts some thought into finding the right location to match the weather and whatever clothing his model is planning to wear. “It could be just one yellow wall I’ve seen that’s part of a larger building,” he says. “And I just want to shoot the yellow wall, so that’s the location.”

This easy-going approach comes from his habit of doing on-the-go photography using his phone.

“Shooting with just an iPhone taught me so much,” he says. “You don’t have control over anything. Whatever is there in the moment is what you get. So you have to control your angle, you have to pay attention to the lighting: where it is, how to use it.”

Cornfield’s primary camera is a Canon 5D Mark IV, and he carries only two lenses: a 24-70 lens that he uses on jobs, and the one he uses for his art photography is a Sigma 35mm. “It translates to how I used to use my iPhone, because it doesn’t have a zoom on it, so you have to kind of move your feet to get the shot,” he says, adding that he spends a lot of time lying on the ground to capture the right angle. “I’m pretty much on the ground for like half the shoot.”

While he does have some lighting equipment, most of his images are shot in natural light. Cornfield says this is another relic from learning photography on his phone, but he also just prefers the look of natural light.

Cornfield has the audience, but says he’d like to expand beyond sharing his work on Instagram and his website. He’d like to get into editorial fashion photography, but says he’s waiting for the right project to come along. And he has a project in the works to create physical versions of his images.

“I’ve been really picky about it, working on it for a while,” he says. “And I want to just finally get it out there. But in order for me to do that, I just need to love it a lot, so my goal is to start creating work that I love so much that I want to print out.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

G.E. A

DeGroat

n array of works in progress and finished paintings and collages cover the walls and tables of G.E. DeGroat’s dining room studio.

Images of his two cats — one sweet, one temperamental — have made it into some of his work. Everything is fair game in his art, which includes a metamorphic tangle of thick-lined, maze-like patterns, snippets of language and symbolism, and bits of human forms.

“Every painting starts out freeform,” DeGroat says. “I’m just trying to unpack my experience as a sentient being. This is all that I’m taking in.”

His current set of in-progress paintings deal heavily with language, symbolism, and iconography. “All of my paintings start out pretty random,” he says, “but I do impart some specific motifs, like deconstructing ASL. There’s a couple of hand signs I’ve been deconstructing in there, like ‘I love you’ and the sign for ‘W.’” DeGroat was hired by Bar Bantam to design and paint the bold-lined patterns and motifs that adorn the walls and menus. His background is in graphic design, which he studied at the Art Institute in New York City before dropping out and working as a freelance designer and model, among other odd jobs.

“When I left school and I was freelancing, one of my favorite things to do was to come up with a logo for people. And I’d do pages of drawings that would morph into each other,” he says. “If I’m drawing a face, the face is also a body, ARTWORK BY G.E. DEGROAT and the body might be a bottle, or a cat.”

The 28-year-old artist says he’s fascinated with individualism, and with language as the connective force between individuals.

“Everyone is their own universe. Even 12 CITY NOVEMBER 7 - 13, 2018

Goose might be his own universe,” he says of the friendlier of his two cats.

DeGroat says part of his work is about sitting with and appreciating the bittersweet moments of life and of ourselves. “I’ve dealt with depression and mental illness in my family, and I personally have experienced depression,” he says. “But at the same time, there’s moments of beauty in that depression, and that’s totally the ego talking. It’s like, this is a beautiful moment but I feel like crap; I’m questioning everything around me; I’m questioning my own existence; why am I here and whatnot.

“I really like the challenge of taking what you have and then making something from it,” he says, “whether it’s me as a 15-year-old downloading software to make music, or me being depressed and finding beauty in that.”

DeGroat says one of his earliest memories is of his mother sitting him and his sister down before bed to sketch them. “I guess that’s what planted the idea of drawing in my head,” he says, adding that he’s been drawing since he could hold a pen. “I decided at a very young age that I wanted to spend most of my time creating for myself.”

He was born on Staten Island, but grew up in Newport News, Virginia. “As soon as I graduated from high school I had to get out of there, because I was very close to falling into a street scene,” he says.

After high school he went to live with his father in New York City where he dabbled in hip hop, rapping for about a year before enrolling in school.

Reflecting on his time in design school, he says: “I think I had a really good hand back then, but I realized a lot of people have a really good hand.”

But DeGroat’s proximity to the New York art scene was influential. He says seeing street artist Shepard Fairey’s work up close at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery was particularly pivotal.

“I was a fan as a designer,” he says, “but was stunned by the painterly, tactile quality of the layered stencils.”

DeGroat’s love of art history shows in up his work in references to works by old masters, such as Michelangelo, Vermeer, and Rubens. “I literally steal from them,” he says. “I’ve got a ton of art books of ARTWORK BY G.E. DEGROAT my favorites.”

And specifically, learning about the Surrealists has been influential, he says: “I’ve got this constant internal dialogue going on, and Surrealism kind of embodies that metaphysical energy or survey. I would say the paintings that I’m getting ready to show are not just surveys of the physical world, but they’re also metaphysical world surveys.”

DeGroat says he’s hugely inspired by renowned performance artist Marina Abramovic. “She lives art,” he says. “She’s really unpacking this thing, this human experience

thing, like nobody else is. I paint, I’m not a performance artist, but I feel like it’s all the same thing. Not technically of course, but what she’s doing artistically inspires me the most. Empathy is huge for me, just relating to other humans.”

DeGroat is relatively new to Rochester, having moved here from Virginia in the summer of 2017, initially intending to visit friends he’d met in Brooklyn. He works as a support staff member at Cure in the Public Market, which he says is more than a job he’s taken to support creative endeavors. “I dig the background operations of support staff, and after Rochester I’d like to go somewhere else, maybe France,” he says.

“I entertain the thought of being a maitre d’ at a restaurant or something like that.”

And working in cafe and bar culture is a common way that artists use to get out of their isolating work modes and remain social. “Creating something from nothing is exhausting,” he says. “So you spend a certain amount of time working, and then you need to go out and be social. I have this habit of working for hours and researching during the daylight, then socializing at night. I think the key to everything is momentum.”

DeGroat’s exhibit, “Free Association,” opens at The Yards Collaborative Art Space on November 16.

MIXED MEDIA AND PINBALL RESTORATION | @ludwigsynop

ASHLEY

I

Ludwig

t’s no secret that most artists have some sort of day gig that sustains them while they pursue their craft, usually afterhours or on weekends. What’s less common is when the 9-to-5 job is itself an art career. On her own time, Rochester native Ashley Ludwig creates mixed media works that she says are inspired by the human experience. But her bread and butter comes from working as a restorer of vintage pinball machines at Pinball Alley in Henrietta.

Getting into that line of work was the result of her savvy approach to staying connected to art through paying gigs. She actively looked for and was open to taking unusual, chance opportunities. In this case, the breadcrumb trail was an ad on Craigslist.

“Almost three years ago I was suffering through a quarter-life crisis, which I believe many of us do,” she says. “I graduated from college, had a degree in hand, and was applying to jobs all over the country with no luck.”

To keep her portfolio current and to stay engaged with the arts community, she volunteered and joined creative projects (she’s been an active volunteer for WALL\ THERAPY for years) and occasionally found random creative jobs on Craigslist, like sign painting for restaurants.

Ludwig stumbled on an ad titled “artist needed to restore pinball machines” and initially laughed, assuming it was a scam “because it sounded too good to be true,” she says. “Several months later, I ended up responding to the ad because I figured I had nothing to lose.”

In the beginning, once a week Ludwig

took her artistic skillset to work on a pinball machine called “Road Kings.” Over time she realized she could actually carve a name for herself in this niche field, and took the risk of leaving her secure and steady job to learn how to be a full-time restoration artist working on pinball machines.

“The cabinet and playfield are constructed from wood and are either originally stenciled or decaled with the artwork,” she says. “I do a lot of woodworking and prep on surfaces: Repairing surface scratches and dented or broken corners or edges, basically any damage done to the wood by filling and sanding.”

After the surfaces are restored comes the painting.

Ludwig works to match the original colors and styles, then finishes the job with a few thin layers of a non-yellowing, scratch-resistant clear coat.

“I love the restoration work I do, because I can see something that’s damaged and envision what it needs to be,” she says. “Then all I need to do is get it there by any means possible. I tend to use a wide array of paints, tools, or techniques to replicate something. Especially on a piece that was produced anywhere within a 100year time span. It’s funny, though, because

ALEXANDRIA A

Mockbee

lexandria Mockbee’s art has recently shifted in a radically new direction, from drawings and paintings to experimenting with abstract paintings on film and light projection installations.

When she participated in the artist’s residency at The Yards collective art space in 2016, she was creating ink and watercolor works on paper that incorporated architectural elements and viscera. Each small work presented a floating world made of bricks and geometric structures with guts and waves of sludgy fluid flowing around and through the forms.

She says that work was inspired by her observations of the physical world and inward, emotional responses. The change in her artistic process was sparked when she included a film projection installation as part of a 2017 show she had at Makers Gallery with printmaker Heather Swenson. Shot on Super 8mm film and projected onto the gallery wall, the work is what Mockbee calls a “handmade film loop with optical sound.”

As the frames fly through the projector, what is projected on the wall is daubs and streaks of dark paint interrupting an otherwise empty field of bright, warm light. A slightly echoed, gravelly sound drones away during the 25-second light and shadow show. The noise nags for a number of reasons: it almost-but-not-quite matches up with the visuals, and by turns it’s slightly reminiscent of the sound of a heavy piece of metal being dragged across a surface, a sustained rumble of thunder, and a distant roar.

There’s no narrative and the work is entirely abstract, but it’s engaging in a teasing way. Our brains want to solve puzzles.

As you watch and listen to the looping film, your mind may do

little flips trying to grasp and make sense of the recognizable sights and sounds. The fact that the imagery and sound match up differently each time the film loops frustrates the brain’s efforts, as the brief experience is fresh each time. And viewers will experience it differently, bringing their own interpretations or emotional responses to the table.

Mockbee’s new ideas began to coalesce when she decided to return to The School at Brockport and finish her undergraduate degree, and was able to take a 16mm film class at Visual Studies Workshop last semester. In that course, she learned about handmade methods, including painting on film. “That really interested me,” she says, “because I was able to watch the things I was making move.”

The 22-year-old is from Greece, New York, and was introduced to the arts early,

EXPERIMENTAL EXPERIENCES | alexandriamockbee.com

having grown up playing the cello since third grade. She began exploring visual art in middle school, and went to Brockport right out of high school to earn a studio art degree, with a focus on oil painting. After a couple of years, she stopped attending and pursued an independent studio practice.

Mockbee currently works as a barista and curates the art shows at Ugly Duck café. “And I’m back in school,” she says. She plans to graduate from Brockport in the spring with an undergraduate degree in Childhood Education.

The program itself is interdisciplinary, she says, and includes introductory classes in music, dance, theater, literature, and visual art. “Then you learn how to apply those and integrate that into an educational setting,” she says.

It’s not just about teaching dance or music to children, but “how do you use the arts to teach,” she says, adding that exposing young children to the arts helps them with creative problem solving and with expressing themselves. “But also it’s about integrating art

into everyday life. It’s a way of learning, of understanding and seeing the world.”

Mockbee says she’s learning professional skills in the program that could lead to a career in teaching or as an arts integration specialist, but the program’s teachings also tie into her own mode of working and experiencing, and inform how she makes art now.

“The reason I moved away from a studio practice to where I am now is, I was just making two-dimensional pieces that were too stagnant for me,” she says.

“They weren’t communicating what I was feeling, especially because I was working with abstraction, where nothing’s being represented specifically. And I just found that it was not enough.”

Her solution has been to move away from stationary visual art to “things that move,” she says, with an emphasis on the abstract “textures” of light and sound waves. “Film is seductive,” she says.

Mockbee is currently creating work that blends her own shot footage with handmade techniques. Her process is experimental and intuitive. “I’m more interested in the process and the making than the final thing that happens,” she says.

Her aim isn’t to produce art objects so much as it is to learn how to create temporary art experiences that are performative in nature.

“I’m interested in expanded cinema, which is, instead of just sitting and watching a film, it’s like: ‘How does it interact with the environment?’” she says.

Inspired by some of the dance performances she’s seen from Brockport’s dance department, Mockbee says she’s made plans to collaborate with dancers for some of her developing work.

With this addition, her work will delve further into the realm of movement-based, ephemeral performances that can never be repeated exactly the same way.

As a prolific songwriter, he’s been hailed as the voice of a generation and its counterculture for more than five decades.

Songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are A-Changin’” were anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements in the 1960’s and sadly still come off as relevant today. And with 11 Grammys and the Nobel Prize in Literature to his name, Dylan has been acknowledged as a game changer. Live, his voice is a little hit-or-miss, but he always has a great backing band.

Pianist Aaron Parks has spent most of his playing time serving as a sideman for Kurt Rosenwinkel, Lage Lund, and many others.

With the major new album “Little Big,” named for a favorite science fiction novel by John Crowley, Parks is back as a leader. The science fiction reference is fitting; much of this music is decidedly futuristic.

Along with guitarist Greg Tuohey, a key presence on the album, Parks masterfully employs textures and tones from jazz, rock and beyond. The tunes range from the out-in-the-stratosphere tracks “Professor Strangeweather” and “The Trickster” to down-to-earth songs like “Lilac” and “Doors Open,” which have melodies catchy enough to rival an Elton John tune. With Parks and Tuohey constantly soaring, bassist David “DJ” Ginyard and drummer Tommy Crane ably hold things together.

Music It’s my first arena show in five and a half years. So the energy of being back in a place that large is something that the fans and I haven’t experienced in quite a few years now.

So that’s given us kind of a really wonderful and revitalized performance energy out there.

It’s probably the most high-energy show I’ve ever done.

The classical crossover feel is something that, at this point, feels fairly inextricable in your performance. But “Bridges” does seem like more of a concerted effort toward pop music.

Do you feel that, or is that inaccurate?

I have never classified myself as a classical crossover artist, for a couple of reasons. One, because I did not start in classical music. I’m not crossing over from opera. My voice and my music have always been very naturally, for better or for worse, kind of in the middle. I’ve always felt like my voice has always been its own thing – a weird lane that, whether I’ve wanted to change it or not, has been too pop for opera, and has always been too traditionalsounding for Top 40.

Josh Groban has been a household name in music for 15 years. Ever since his 2003 album “Closer” was released and the smash hit “You Raise Me Up” entered the pop-culture consciousness, his polished, charismatic vocals and charming adult contemporary sound have been all but unavoidable. You may not know much about his music, but you’ve definitely heard that voice.

Over the years, however, Groban has steadily proven himself to be about more than just pop-classical balladry, with a 18 CITY NOVEMBER 7 - 13, 2018

discography that skillfully blends covers, original songs, and foreign language tracks – as well as an entertainment career that has expanded to include theater, TV sitcom appearances, and now, a starring role as detective Tony “TJ” Caruso Jr. on the Netflix series “The Good Cop.” On Tuesday, November 13, Groban will visit Rochester as part of his current arena tour, supporting his latest album, “Bridges.” In a recent phone interview, Groban talked about his vocal sound and delivery, the new album, and how he broke free from a constricting public image.

Here’s an edited version of that discussion.

CITY: Have there been notable changes in your vocal sound or your approach to vocal production over the years?

Josh Groban: When I was younger, I had

this voice, but I had no experience behind it. I was singing these very kind of heady, very emotional songs about breakups and

love and loss, and all these things, and I was just kind of a kid. I was just plucked out of high school and freshman year of college, and was kind of approximating what those things might have been like. I was reaching a lot of people very emotionally, but in my own life had not really gone through those things yet.

So I think the benefit to getting a little older and having that experience is that you interpret it, you put color on your voice more mentally and emotionally as you spend more time singing. So it’s good. I think at 37, I’ve got the right combination of life experience and vocal experience to do a show like the one I’m about to do, which is very, very challenging.

How so?

Well, the songs on “Bridges” were very, very challenging, vocally, to sing. They really, I think, pushed every limit of my range. When I write, for whatever reason, I tend to write really challenging stuff for myself.

Do you ever feel constricted by the public image or the accompanying aesthetics of that image?

I feel like when I first started, I definitely did.

Because, you know, all people got to see of you was… if you sang a song that was sad, for instance, and that song became very famous, people just thought of you as sad. Or if you sing a song that’s inspirational, people just think of you as the guy who sings that. When I first started out, there wasn’t social media. I wasn’t acting at all. I wasn’t doing comedy.

So I would say, yes, for the first five years or so of my career, I felt very constricted.

Since then I’ve gotten so many opportunities to do some many different kinds of things, from TV to comedy to hosting to all different kinds of duets.

All truth being relative “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

REVIEWED SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 THE AVYARIUM, 274 NORTH GOODMAN STREET, SUITE D242 TICKETS START AT $27 | WALLBYRD.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

When “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” opened on Broadway in 1962, it both captivated and polarized audiences. Edward Albee’s (then) contemporary play about a frustrated middle-aged couple was cutting edge: the plot had sexual tension, alcohol, and cursing, all live on stage. Though it was vetoed for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1962, “Woolf ” won the Tony Award for best play in 1963, and the script was adapted for a film 22 CITY NOVEMBER 7 - 13, 2018

starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton just a few years later.

MAD Magazine, in a satirical 1967 cartoon spread about the film, perhaps best summed it up: “Who in heck is Virginia Woolf?” Spoiler: it’s not a character in the plot, but a play on the Disney song, “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”, that swaps in the name of author Virginia Woolf. The reason for the title is quite simple: Albee was inspired at a New York bar where he saw the phrase scrawled in soap on a bathroom mirror.

Wallbyrd Theatre Co., led by Virginia Monte, departs from its usual Shakespeareanthemed offerings with this classic play (and will do so again in May 2019 with “The 39 Steps”). The turn to mid-20th century works is a refreshing one, coinciding with the company’s move to The Avyarium, a new black box-style space tucked away on the second floor of the Village Gate.

The plot of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is a confusing one, but it begins simply enough. After they leave a faculty

characters, but the nuance of each actor grows as the play progresses, and these younger ensemble members prove an impressive match for their middle-aged counterparts.

Infidelity, profanity, alcoholism, marital discord: Everything hidden from the bridge and rotary clubs of the day is dragged out and strung from the rafters. The plot toes the line between a chess match and a championship bout, every disclosure and conversational misstep turning to another player’s advantage minutes (or, in this case, hours) later. The audience is seated flanking the stage, and the square, Mid-century living room set (also designed by Virginia Monte) grows more like a boxing ring with each passing act.

As is typical of Monte’s shows, much conscientious effort has gone into the design of the production, from the worn, period-style living room of George and Martha’s home to the deliciously “Mad Men”-esque costumes by Linda Monte. There’s also a good deal of fight choreography, by Alec Barbour and Cassie Buscemi, fluidly worked into the production.

By the end of the three-hour production (including two 10-minute intermissions), the audience looks as worn out as the characters, emotionally and physically exhausted from the suspense and toll of the play’s content. And what of the plot twist at the end? As Sweeney’s character George says amidst gulps of would-be Scotch: “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”

party, Martha informs her professor husband, George, that she’s invited the newest faculty member and his young wife over for a nightcap. The greatest challenge within the next three hours is for the director and actors, who must make sense of this dense and at times heavy-handed play, but it’s clear Monte and the four-person ensemble have spent countless hours crafting the show.

In the role of history professor George, Kevin Sweeney leads the cast, rarely leaving the stage at all. He leverages a hoarse stage voice to great effect, swelling to a full-on bray at several points. It’s the voice of a character lugging a lifetime of baggage. As his desperate, older wife (and daughter of the college’s president) Martha, Dawn Sargent masterfully executes a character who’s both heartbreaking and exasperating to watch.

Rounding out the cast are Kiefer Schenk (Nick) and Sarah Kingsley (Honey), who play the newest all-star faculty member and his naive, waifish wife. At first blush, Schenk and Kingsley seem to portray two-dimensional

THEATER | ‘BRAVURA’

You might be familiar with Rochester’s Hochstein School of Music & Dance, but what do you know about its namesake?

Born in 1892 to Jewish immigrants, David Hochstein grew up on Joseph Avenue and graduated from East High School.

Considered a violin prodigy, Emily Sibley Watson and George Eastman were patrons to his education. And in his young adulthood he made his Carnegie Hall debut with a Stradivarius violin provided by Eastman. But Hochstein cut his brilliant career short when the US entered “The Great War” in 1917, when he enlisted to serve. He was killed a year later. Marking the 100th anniversary of Hochstein’s death, Rochester playwright Stuart Loeb and local director Donald B. Bartalo will this week present “BRAVURA: The Life and Death of David Hochstein,” a fictionalized retelling of the courageous life and legacy of this historic Rochesterian.

“Bravura” will be performed at the MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue, from November 8 to November 18. Show times are Thursday, November 8 through Saturday, November 10, at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, November 14, through Saturday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m.; and on Sundays, November 11 and 18, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 advance and $20 at the door. 450-9933; bravuratheplay.com.

Film

Rami Malek in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” PHOTO COURTESY TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

Another one bites the dust “Bohemian Rhapsody” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY BRYAN SINGER NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Telling the behind-the-scenes story of groundbreaking rock band Queen, the long in the works “Bohemian Rhapsody” focuses on the life of lead singer Freddie Mercury starting when he first joined the band through his 1991 death from AIDS-related complications at age 45. The film boasts a wonderful lead performance from Rami Malek as Freddie, but its clichéd narrative and sloppy, safe storytelling let down the larger-than-life figure at its center.

The film arrives in theaters after a troubled production, with director Bryan Singer being fired late into its shooting, leading filmmaker Dexter Fletcher to be brought in to finish things up. Due to Directors Guild rules,

Singer maintains sole directing credit for the film, but the final product feels a bit of a mess, lacking a singular vision behind the camera.

Written by Anthony McCarten (“The Theory of Everything”, “Darkest Hour”), the script adheres to the type of contrived formula that should have been a thing of the past after “Walk Hard,” the brilliant 2007 send-up of music biopics (and a film that should be required viewing for any screenwriter seeking to take on the genre).

Born in Zanzibar as Farrokh “Freddie” Bulsara, the singer’s family traveled to England when he was a teen. By the time we meet him, he’s working odd jobs and dreaming of rock stardom. He gets his shot after introducing himself to college pub band Smile, led by lead guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy). Freddie meets the pair minutes after their lead singer has quit, and before you know it he’s their new frontman. With the addition of bassist

John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) to their ranks, they’re suddenly touring the world as Queen.

The same night he first meets May and Taylor, Mercury also makes the acquaintance of Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton). They begin a relationship that would last throughout the years. Freddie called her the love of his life, and though they weren’t always together romantically, she was a supportive presence in his life all the way to the end.

McCarten’s script is cagey in its treatment of Freddie’s sexuality. We see charged glances between Freddie and several anonymous men, but the film plays these scenes coyly, with the screen immediately fading to black.

The story gets a cartoonish villain in the form of band manager Paul Prenter (Allen Leech). Constantly shot skulking around the edges of the frame, Prenter drives a wedge between the singer and his bandmates, introducing Freddie to a world of partying, drugs, and orgies (all off-screen, of course).

There’s no attempt to explain why the free and open lifestyle Prenter presented might have such appeal for Freddie. When we do see Freddie embracing his sexuality (cue the montage of leather clubs), it seems to exist only to contrast the happy, heteronormative lifestyle of his bandmates, and the narrative devotes little time to his longtime (and final) partner, Jim Hutton (Aaron McCusker).

An authorized biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody” was made in cooperation with the surviving members of Queen, who maintained a fair amount of control over the story that was told. Reportedly, they refused to sign off on an R-rated version of the film, which explains the cursory treatment of the more unsavory details.

But even with their participation, the script never devotes enough time to get a real sense of any of them as people.

In the end, the film is surprisingly dull, which takes some work for a story about as vibrant an individual as Freddie Mercury.

Some of the problem lies in the fact that for all of Freddie’s attention-grabbing on stage theatrics, off stage he remained elusive. And the filmmakers seem at a loss trying to fill in those blanks or to glean any insight into such a private and closely-guarded individual.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” does have some things going for it though, first and foremost being Malek’s magnetic presence as Mercury.

It’s a performance that veers into coming across as an impression, but even when lip syncing the vocals, Malek channels Mercury’s ferocious energy and struts with the best of them. Then of course there’s the fantastic music, with Queen’s bottomless (fat-bottomed?) catalog of great songs to cycle through.

Unquestionably, the highlight of the film is the thrilling extended recreation of the band’s 1985 set at the Live Aid benefit concert that closes the film. And honestly, if you can convince your local theater to sell you a ticket to the last 20 minutes of the movie, that’s probably the best way to watch it.

The treatment of Freddie Mercury’s sexuality is disappointing, since it not only informed who he was and the music he made, but it was an inspiration to so many people. Brushing so much of his queerness aside does a huge disservice to both the man and his fans, and it’s hard not to wish for a film that took as many chances as the legendary talent it’s paying tribute to.
