Emerging artists 2012 Part of the fun of participating in Rochester’s art community is paying attention to which talents are not only creating impressive works, but creating opportunities for themselves out of the ether. Part of the artistic journey is eking out a life for yourself — staying open to possibilities, networking (read: playing with other creative types), and working pretty much all of the time. Many newish artists hold jobs that are either on the periphery of what they’d like to be doing, or completely unrelated. But the difference between the few who succeed and the many who don’t is making sure the work remains central, no matter what.

City Newspaper started its emerging-artists series in 2011. Here, we present you with four more impressive, emerging creatives – Alison Cowles, Andrew Cho, Hannah Betts, and Clayton Cowles (pictured above, left to right) – each working in diverse media and genres, ranging from ceramics, to portraiture, to illustration, to photography. Each divides time between making ends meet and looking out for opportunities which will settle them more firmly upon their path. Though the future is never certain, the combined talent and drive of each artist makes it likely that big things are in store.

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY RODERICK GREEN

Invest in youth now or pay later

News. Music. Life.

Greater Rochester’s Alternative Newsweekly August 15-21, 2012 Vol 41 No 49

As I read Mary Anna Towler’s recent article “Facing Facts on Violence” (Urban Journal, July 18), I reflected on how, as a community, we really must openly address and discuss Rochester’s violence. As executive director of Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection in Rochester, I have the privilege of serving thousands of youth and their families. Our program enrolls urban students in Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo, including many young AfricanAmerican males who need year-round support and the opportunity to change their circumstances.

For our Rochester HW-SC class of 2012, we had 114 black males graduate. By the time these graduates reach age 30, the community will have achieved an estimated $2.7 million in savings from increased wages and earning power, decreased reliance on social services, housing assistance, food stamps, and other forms of public assistance, and costs associated with incarceration, as documented in a ROI report by the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency.

Of these 114 graduates, 21 are residents of the violent crime area in the inner city referred to as the Crescent. Of our 21 graduates, 18 of these students from the Crescent are working in year-round job opportunities through our employment partners, and most have been at their jobs for at least 17 months. Since January of this year, these employed students from the Crescent have generated more than $80,000 in real wages that they bring to the Rochester community, and they are projected to contribute $125,000 by year’s end.

These hard-hitting numbers represent the simple fact that these young black males in the Crescent are engaged in their community and are working hard to break the cycle of violence. As a community, we need to invest now in youth who can be positively impacted so we do not have to pay later.

The recently state-funded NY Youth Works Program is being deployed in Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica, and Rochester.

Targeting youth ages 16 to 24 in and out of school, it provides them with jobreadiness training, career preparation,

certification, and employment with businesses that are certified and are participating in the program. In fact, HW-SC is a recipient of three recent NY Youth Works Program grants and will utilize the funding to expand jobreadiness training to current HW-SC students and other city youth, helping them to acquire the skills necessary to find a decent job.

This is just one of several initiatives being carried out to stimulate job growth and opportunities for urban youth; however, additional resources are needed to create more opportunities for disconnected youth in our community.

I agree with Towler’s sentiments about how we can’t have an honest and frank conversation until we admit that male black-on-black crime is an epidemic. The root of these crimes is well documented, stemming from a variety of societal factors, including poverty, homelessness, joblessness, and a negative self-image. A 2007 report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics revealed that 8,000 to 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the US, and even more

sobering is the fact that 93 percent of these murders are perpetrated by other African Americans.

The key to breaking this cycle starts with education. Individuals with an education are less likely to engage in criminal activities that lead to homicide and incarceration, and are more likely to gain sustained employment, contributing to our society through wages and taxes. Educated individuals typically have higher earning power and control over their earnings, helping to break the vicious cycle of poverty that so many of our young black males are trapped in. Ronald Reagan once said that “the best social program is a job.” Having a caring mentor or adult in the lives of our city’s youth, coupled with basic job-readiness training and opportunities, can help many of our young black males use education and employment as a means to make it out of a culture of violence, despair, and hopelessness.

Malgieri and Urbanski

Your August 1 article re. new appointments to the Rochester school district administration once again demonstrates one of the major impediments to better education in Rochester (“Vargas Heats Things Up”).

Adam Urbanski does not consider Patty Malgieri “a friend of public education‚” City

based on his experience with her at the Center for Governmental Research. From my extensive volunteer experience at CGR during the period to which he refers, I found Patty to be passionate about what was or was not happening in Rochester public education. The Center’s fact-based conclusions and recommendations to the school district may not have fit Mr. Urbanski’s agenda, but they could have made that universe more mission driven and successful.

His is the missing friendship.

Interpreting the mural

For me, art is about making you think, about seeing the world through a different

august 15-21, 2012

lens (“St. Paul Mural, Lewd or Cuddly,” Feedback).

After less than five seconds of looking at this beautiful mural by a world-class artist, it is apparent to me that it is two bears sleeping.

I respect the fact the there will always be people with varied opinions, that there will always be controversy, but that, to me, is intertwined with art as a medium. Art gives us beauty as well as allows us an outlet to reflect upon our own inner world via our projections upon the outer world while examining someone else’s very personal and heartfelt expression.

If someone chooses to think that is sexual, that is fine with me, but do not assume that a child would think so, or any other person on the street, for that matter. I am grateful to see

the beautification of areas of the city that rightly deserved it, and look forward to more projects like it in the future.

The roots of our violence

I agree with the main point of “Accepting Violence” (Urban Journal, July 25): “Collectively, we have developed a culture of violence; we glorify it.” But rather (again) taking the easy route of finger-pointing at the NRA and certain politicians, where is the ”courage and leadership” to also go after our fabled institution‚ Hollywood?

Be it movies (such as Batman), TV shows‚ or violent video games (which this paper reviews), it would

seem that Hollywood certainly has a great deal of culpability in pushing this “culture of violence” on the American population.

Oh, yes, I know the old argument: “Nobody forced you to buy that ticket or watch that show.” But could it be that the influence of the violent Hollywood culture leads some of these sick individuals – who have exercised their First Amendment rights by viewing the violent trash – to then exercise their Second Amendment rights and purchase their weapon of choice?

Naw, it’s just easier to continue to blame the Second Amendment‚ the NRA‚ and certain politicians. Hollywood, it seems, is off limits.

Romney and Ryan Shortly after Mitt Romney introduced Paul Ryan as his running mate on Saturday, The Atlantic’s James Fallows suggested that the choice was good not only for Romney but also for the country. Given his outspoken conservatism, Fallows said, Ryan’s presence on the ticket means that voters will be able to focus on the crucial issues facing the nation.

Lord knows that would be a blessing.

We really do need to have a national discussion about the role of government, the future of Medicare and Social Security, defense spending, the tax structure, that kind of thing.

If Ryan is to be more than a pretty face on campaign posters, political discussions could move to substance. And the debates could be enlightening – maybe even significant.

The reason for the excitement surrounding the Ryan pick, of course – among conservatives and liberals – is that unlike Romney, Ryan has spelled out his positions clearly. And so far, at least, he hasn’t dodged and weaved about them. He has a strong anti-abortion record, voted to cut federal funding of Planned Parenthood, supported a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, opposed repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and opposes stronger gun-control measures.

He’s most well known, of course, for his fiscal conservatism and his budget plan, which would lower taxes on the wealthy and on corporations (and run up the deficit), turn Medicare into a partial voucher program, and slash federal spending (except for defense).

Those stands will drive conservative Republicans to the polls – and Democratic leaders seem to think it’ll fire up their base and help Obama lure back disaffected liberals.

And maybe James Fallows is right.

Maybe at last we’ll have a national discussion about the role of government – what it can and should do, what it can’t and shouldn’t, how to best stimulate the economy, whether tax cuts for the wealthy help or hurt, whether cutting government spending in a recession is a good idea….

But the Ryan selection may be as big a risk for the Obama campaign – and for all of us – as it is for Romney. Big Money is playing a larger role in this campaign than it ever has, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Big Money’s ads – laden with slogans and distortions – determine the outcome of this election.

Ryan is only the vice-presidential candidate. And as campaign officials have said, this is the Romney-Ryan ticket, not the Ryan-Romney ticket. But we have

The Ryan selection may be as big a risk for the Obama campaign – and for all of us – as it is for Romney.” to assume that Romney’s choice actually means something.

So far, Romney has proved to be a bundle of unknowns. Given his position shifting, his statements seem more like political calculations than professions of belief.

Romney desperately needed conservatives’ votes to win the Republican nomination. He’ll desperately need them to have any chance at being elected. Until Saturday, though, you could hope that as president, he might return to his moderate roots.

Now, though, he has done more than mouth hard-right beliefs. Now he has attached himself firmly to a leading young conservative.

And unless he is more cynical than I had thought – and unless he is strong enough to resist the howls of conservatives if he stiffs his vice president once he’s in office – we are getting a look at the real Romney, the Romney who will craft budgets and shape programs and hold the veto pen if he is elected.

And if this isn’t the real Romney?

Then his vice-presidential choice says a lot about the conservative lock on the Republican Party.

“The Right has a firm grip on the Romney campaign, which will grow tighter if he’s elected president,” Jamelle Bouie warned on the American Prospect website on Saturday.

“The stakes have just been raised,” Bouie wrote. “If Obama loses, we can look forward to President Mitt Romney, Vice President Paul Ryan, and the most rightwing presidential administration in modern American history.”

Media reports over the weekend said that Obama campaign officials were all smiles about Romney’s selection of Ryan. I’m not sure they have anything to celebrate.

Cruz, Lightfoot decision today?

Jose Cruz and John Lightfoot may find out today if they can stay on the ballot for State Assembly.

Justice John Ark may rule on the case today, Wednesday, August 15.

Kodak auction extended

Eastman Kodak has extended its patent auction, but it’s unclear if that’s because bidding on its intellectual properties has become more aggressive, or because the company hopes extra time will drive up the price. Either way, Kodak is banking on the revenue from the auction to help the company restructure and remain in business.

Kodak has lost $600 million so far this year after filing for bankruptcy.

Rochester gets audited

The state Comptroller’s Office released an audit report on the City of Rochester containing mild criticisms over the

awarding of contracts and potential conflicts of interests of City Council members. The report says city officials did not solicit competing offers before awarding a $600,000 construction contract in the 2010 to 2011 fiscal year. The city says it solicited offers for one part of the project, but not another —and that’s common practice. The audit also criticizes Council members for failing to disclose their roles in various nonprofit organizations with legislation pending before Council.

RIT hotel to improve pool access

DEVELOPMENT | by jeremy moule

Rochester Institute of Technology officials committed to installing lifts in the pools at the Inn and Conference center. The promise came after disability rights activists protested at RIT President William Destler’s office.

The protest, organized

by Rochester ADAPT, was part of a broader national action against the American Hotel and Lodging Association. Under federal law, hotels were supposed to make all swimming pools fully accessible

by March, but the hotel association lobbied to extend that deadline.

Pittsford housing project moves ahead The Village of Pittsford is moving on to the next step in its review of a proposed housing development along the canal.

Last week, the Village Board finalized its environmental review of a proposal to redevelop the former Monoco Oil property on Monroe Avenue into upscale apartments and a restaurant. Village Board members adopted a resolution saying that the project would not have a significant environmental impact.

The developer, a subsidiary of Mark IV Enterprises, will now seek a permit and site plan approval so construction can begin.

The development proposal dates back to 2009, after the village rezoned the property.

Since then, developers have made changes to the plans, including the appearance, configuration, and size of the buildings.

Traffic, which has been a concern of village officials from the start, became the sticking point in the environmental review. Village Mayor Bob Corby said last week that he wanted to see the developers’ proposals for slowing down traffic on Monroe at the village gateway.

The work will happen in the area of Monroe Avenue surrounding the canal bridge, and will include some lane restriping and the addition of a raised, landscaped median, he says.

Corby said that Mark IV’s original traffic-calming proposal included a median, and that village officials support the feature.

Patricia Malgieri has been a strong critic of the school district, and most board members are furious that she was chosen for a key district position. In an interview last week, board member Van White said some board members are considering defunding the chief-of-staff position.

EDUCATION | by Tim Louis Macaluso

GOVERNMENT | by jeremy moule

Malgieri contract under fire by board Since being named Rochester schools superintendent in April, Bolgen Vargas has been extremely popular with most school board members. But the honeymoon is over. In a special meeting last Thursday, the board went into executive session to discuss Vargas’s decision to hire former Rochester deputy mayor Patricia Malgieri as his chief of staff. And it didn’t go well.

Malgieri has been a strong critic of the school district, and most board members are furious that she was chosen for a key district position. In an interview last week, board member Van White said some board members are considering defunding the chief-of-staff position.

“I hope it doesn’t come to that,” White said. “But I have some significant concerns about how this relationship can benefit the children in the city school district.”

Board members will meet with Malgieri to discuss some of their concerns, he said.

Even before board members went into executive session on Thursday, tempers flared — about the Malgieri contract and about several other issues.

Bolgen Vargas. FILE PhotO

In a nearly 20-minute exchange, White and board member Mary Adams complained angrily that Vargas had not followed through on a board directive involving professional development of teachers.

In late March, Vargas agreed to have the staff at the Freedom School — a pilot program designed for very low-achieving students — to provide teachers districtwide with professional training this summer. Board members say the training was supposed to focus on building cultural sensitivity and engaging parents. continues on page 6

Bad ads?

Democrats in the Monroe County Legislature want to prohibit the county from spending money on ads featuring county elected officials. | Legislator Josh Bauroth introduced the proposal, which he says was inspired after he saw his own name on a plaque at the Seneca Park Zoo. The plaque is on the new lion exhibit, thanking people who helped fund it, including all county legislators. Bauroth says it would have been more appropriate to list the Legislature as a whole, and not individual representatives. | Other ads — in the airport, at the zoo, and at the Department of Motor Vehicles offices — feature County Executive Maggie Brooks or County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo.

The county typically uses contracted entities, such as the county Airport Authority, to pay for the ads. | Bauroth’s proposal would also bar county elected officials from appearing in the ads. | High-profile elected officials, Republicans and Democrats, are frequently featured in ads for government programs and services. | “Although it is a common custom, it is not the right thing to do,” Bauroth says. | Occasionally, an ad will backfire on an official; former Governor George Pataki stopped appearing in ads for a state health insurance program after receiving a volley of criticism.

Vargas, they say, was also supposed to restore the Freedom School program at East High, where it operated for two school years before the district shut it down a year ago.

Freedom School, White said, has been successful in getting parents more involved in their children’s education, something that has eluded the district for years.

But Vargas didn’t pursue the program with any vigor, the board members said, and now it’s too late because school opens in about three weeks.

Vargas countered that his staff has been overloaded and stressed, and that the person who was going to handle their request has just started working with the district. He expected some understanding and flexibility from the board, he said, because of the “mess” he inherited in the district.

He also said he wanted to pursue a professional development program that has “integrity.” That comment seemed to infuriate White and Adams.

White said in the interview that the superintendent has developed a pattern of deflecting the board’s directions on policy decisions. And his decision to hire Malgieri was not in the spirit of working as a team to solve the district’s problems, he said.

Vargas has put the board in an awkward position. He has the right to hire whom he wants for his senior, cabinet-level positions. But White said the Malgieri contract and those of three other new administrators committed the district to unprecedented demands.

For instance, Malgieri is guaranteed a job for two years unless she is guilty of outrageous behavior — committing a crime, for example. Most cabinetlevel employees work at the will of the superintendent, White said.

But if the board attempts to defund Malgieri’s contract, it could open the district to potential legal action, and there would be public relations ramifications.

Fracking foes take Washington New York officials could be on the verge of approving fracking in some parts of the state.

Statewide media reports have said that the state could release its environmental review of highvolume hydraulic fracturing by Labor Day. But environmental groups have serious concerns about fracking. Earthworks, for example, released a report last month criticizing

the state’s well-inspection program. The report says the state infrequently inspects wells and is not prepared to oversee a drilling boom.

An Albany-Times Union article published last week said state officials realize they’ll need to get the Legislature to pass additional funding for the Department of Environmental Conservation before they

While it really qualifies more as old-fashioned common sense rather than a popular movement, locavore eating is all about reducing your carbon footprint by subsisting on the ingredients closest to home. And this philosophy doesn’t just apply to whatever you can pull out of the ground or score from a nearby farm; it also involves supporting the local makers of products that could enhance your enjoyment of that heirloom tomato, just-picked peach, or grass-fed beef.

Hence, “Made in Rochester.” This is just the first in a series that will showcase edible goods made right here in and around the Greater Rochester area. So if there’s a local food company you think should be on our radar, please let us know by sending us the info to food@rochester-citynews.com.

“The House of Fee by the Genesee since eighteen hundred and sixty-three” goes the rhyme honoring the history of Fee Brothers (feebrothers.com), which has been manufacturing beverage ingredients for the last century and a half. Its product line includes a

whole battery of cordial syrups (including the lime, almond, and ginger concoction known as Falernum) and botanical waters. But thanks to the American craft-cocktail renaissance, Fee Brothers’ bitters are enjoying their moment in the sun. Typically a blend of herbs and roots, bitters add balance and depth to a drink, and Fee Brothers offers flavors like black walnut, celery, and Aztec chocolate, as well as a limitededition, gin-barrel-aged orange version. Stock up (cash or check only) at the retail space at 453 Portland Ave.; it’s open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday until 4 p.m.

Gene Olczak’s Karma Sauce Company (karmasauce.com) donates 5 percent of its profits to Foodlink, but his Good Karma also comes bottled, a tangy, slightly chunky sauce with butternut squash and red pepper.

A spicier incarnation called Bad Karma is also available, as is curry and smoky versions, along with a range of whole-grain mustards and the all-natural Gourmet Tomato Kats’up.

Karma Sauce products can be found on the company website, and at local independent merchants such as Penfield’s Mooseberry

Straight outta Webster, Full Throttle Sauces (fullthrottlesauce.com) are the secret weapons of many an aspiring pitmaster. The Full Throttle product line features a hot and a mild barbecue sauce, plus Hog Rub and Roadkill Chicken seasonings, each item containing no high-fructose corn syrup, no preservatives, no fat, no cholesterol, and no gluten. Full Throttle sauces and rubs are available on the web, across the country, and at Rochester spots like Tops, Hegedorn’s, Niblack Foods, and The Nut House.

Any cook worth his or her salt would suggest that you steer clear of supermarket spices, which have been hanging around for who knows how long. Spices start to lose their potency once they’ve been broken down, which is why Stuart’s Spices (stuartspices. com) grinds its products in small batches.

You can get the herbs and spices in their solo state or as part of a Stuart’s Spices blend, like Rochester Meat Sauce (for all your homemade Plate needs) and Butcher’s Rub, a mix that mingles unexpected flavors like nori and cloves. Stuart’s Spices’ retail space is located at 2322 Lyell Ave., or you can peruse the selection on Saturdays at the Public Market.

Founded in 2011, Pittsford’s Karma Culture, LLC has recently expanded distribution of its Karma Wellness Water (drinkkarma.com) online, but ‘round these parts we can just march into any Wegmans or Tops or RiteAid

and grab one. What makes Karma Wellness Water different from other vitamin-enhanced waters is its nutrient delivery system, the patented KarmaCap, which keeps the vitaminrich ingredients separate from the water until the consumer releases them, thereby increasing the product’s shelf life and optimizing its effectiveness. Choose from five flavors: “Mind” (orange-mango), “Body” (raspberryguava-jackfruit), “Spirit” (passionfruit green tea), “Balance” (acai-pomberry), and “Vitality” (pineapple-coconut).

Northern Soy, Inc., has been around for more than 30 years, and its SoyBoy (soyboy. com) products have become so ubiquitous that you’d be forgiven for not knowing all those vegan standbys are actually being made in your own figurative backyard, at the company’s lone facility in Chili.

Certified organic soybeans form the base of the tofu, which is available unadorned or with seasonings like Caribbean and Italian mixtures. The original Not Dogs hail from Northern Soy, which rounds out its meatless offerings with ravioli, tempeh, and burgers.

Pick up SoyBoy products at markets such as Wegmans and Lori’s Natural Foods.

It’s true that, unlike the rest of the items on this list, you can’t actually ingest Chickpea Magazine (chickpeamagazine.com), a fact worth noting as you drool over its luscious photography and inspired recipes. Aimed at vegans and vegetarians — but appreciated by anyone who digs good grub — the quarterly magazine, printed locally by pixelPRESERVE, was borne out of the excellent blog Hipster Food (hipsterfood.tumblr.com) beginning with its Fall 2011 issue.

Emerging artists 2012 ART FEATURE | BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Much has happened to better serve Rochester’s fledgling artists over the past year. The area’s young, fresh, motivated art scene has expanded to include new pop-up galleries, collaborative art spaces such as The Yards, and 1975 Gallery, which serves fresh new talent as well as local mainstays, has gained a better foothold in the professional art scene with a permanent whitewalls space. Rochester has gained new working artists, and some rising stars have departed to pursue a wider audience and field of opportunities. And just last month, “Wall/Therapy” brought a set of international artists to paint murals on various public spaces in our city, which has put Rochester on the art-world map in a major way that many don’t fully grasp.

If you’re not watching certain budding scenes, these crucial developments may not have hit you yet. But part of the fun of participating in Rochester’s community is paying attention to which talents are not only creating

impressive works, but creating opportunities for themselves out of the ether. Part of the artistic journey is eking out a life for yourself — staying open to possibilities, networking (read: playing with other creative types), and working pretty much all of the time. Many newish artists hold jobs that are either on the periphery of what they’d like to be doing, or completely unrelated. But the difference between the few who succeed and the many who don’t is making sure the work remains central, no matter what.

Here, we present you with four more impressive, emerging creatives, each working in diverse media and genres, ranging from ceramics, to portraiture, to illustration, to photography. Each divides time between making ends meet and looking out for opportunities which will settle them more firmly upon their path. Though the future is never certain, the combined talent and drive of each artist makes it likely that big things are in store.

Andrew Cho

Andrew Cho’s ceramic pieces often reflect an interest in human development and maturation.

10 City august 15-21, 2012

Ceramic artist Andrew Cho straddles the line between sculptor and illustrator, having not quite abandoned his origins in drawing for his love of clay. He adorns each of his fragile, unpredictable vessels with brushy portraits and scenes, drawing influences from old engravings, as well as Chinese and Japanese calligraphy.

During his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, Cho shifted from his major in drawing to study ceramics, because of his interest in how drawings change when brought into the third dimension. With ceramics, you can make the surface look like almost anything, he says, “but technically it’s very challenging. I got ceramics degrees because I didn’t want to suss it out on my own.”

Drawing skills are something Cho determined he could hone on his own, but “when ceramics fails it’s horrible, it blows up,” he says. “It’s very expensive.”

The artist earned his MFA from Georgia State University, and came to Rochester in September 2011 after he received an artist residency placement at Genesee Center for the Arts & Education.

The meditative narratives pictured on Cho’s cups and bowls are depictions of the way the artist perceives people interacting with one another, and the process of each individual coming to terms with him or herself, he says. “A lot of the work is centered around psychological development, the construction of yourself as an individual and how you go about it.”

Cho’s last cohesive body of work, from 2010, was called the “Auto Construction” series, a group of crudely hand-built representations of humans in various stages of constructed identity. The title of the oeuvre “came from a type of architecture that developed organically in slums,” Cho says, where people create their own dwellings in unplanned neighborhoods. Over time, scraps are built up into unexpectedly complete structures. In this situation, where people used whatever material was around them, slowly renovating the house as they lived in it, Cho saw a metaphor for human development, and for the process of maturation.

“We have this outward face that we are forced to deal with that is simultaneously

something that we have to present as a finished product, but is something that is very, very dynamic, currently in flux, and never quite finished. So it’s incomplete, but we have to be proud of it at the same time, comfortable showing it off,” he says.

Cho is developing a new body of work for his solo show at the culmination of his residency at the Genesee Center, which will take place in the autumn of 2013. In the meantime, he earns money by selling his functional art: affordable, small works illustrated with animals, people, and objects.

“Working with mugs and bowls allows me to put drawings in this whole other idiom of something that people interact with intimately,” he says. And creating these smaller pieces allows him to clear his head between the larger endeavors. Cho frequently sends work away to shows, continuing to promote his professional reputation on a national and international scale rather than just a local one, so that he can be anywhere and not have to start from scratch with his relationship with an audience.

While Cho isn’t sure he’ll stay in Rochester after the residency concludes at the end of 2013, the Jacksonville, Florida, native is enjoying the Rochester community, hiking, and fishing. “When winter happened, I’m pretty sure I made an idiot of myself, stepping

Andrew Cho’s ceramic works range from complicated forms to simpler bowls and mugs.

on frozen puddles and giggling,” he says. His long-term goal is to be a self-sufficient artist, but he has a soft spot for teaching, he says.

Cho plans to apply for more residencies, and for teaching positions. “Cast a wide net, make the best of what comes in,” he says.

You can check out Cho’s current works at the “Proof of Residence” exhibition at the Firehouse Gallery at the Genesee Center (713 Monroe Ave., geneseearts.org) through August 23, with co-artist-in-residence Melinda Friday. Visit his website at theandrewchoartshow.com.

Alison Cowles

The daughter of two local artists, Alison Cowles left art school early and jumped right in to a successful career in the field.

“I grew up in two artistic homes,” says 19year-old Alison Cowles, who is the daughter of illustrator and animator David Cowles and Arts & Crafts-style painter and printmaker Laura Wilder. She cites both parents as influences. Cowles and her father share a love of television shows, pop culture, and comedy, and from her mother she gained an appreciation of classic illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, who Cowles loves for his “over-exaggerated features and stances.”

Cowles also counts artists Al Hirschfield and Bob Staake as aesthetic influences.

I met Alison Cowles when she was just 13, when I was managing the office and studio for her mother. Even at that age, Cowles exhibited striking creativity, skill, and initiative, drawing countless goofy characters from her imagination and making storylines for them, or doing studies of beautiful women from old books and magazines. Beginning in 2010, she attended PrattMWP in Utica for a year and a half before dropping out this past January, deciding to pursue her career as an artist immediately.

“My parents are artists,” she says, “and I figured all I could learn was right there at home.”

Cowles went from paying for school to earning money, immediately feeling

Emerging artists 2012

Alison Cowles has become known for her exaggerated celebrity caricatures, like this piece of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

encouraged by commissions for her work by the business magazine Fast Company and newspaper the Baltimore Sun, as well as gaining freelance work for both caricatures and portraits (Cowles is also an ace at realistic, traditional portraiture). And only one month after leaving school, Cowles was contacted by current “Saturday Night Live” cast member Bobby Moynihan, who purchased the original painting of Cowles’s caricature of his Drunk Uncle character.

For the last several months, the young artist has been developing a line of celebrity caricature work based on “Saturday Night Live” cast members (which she has dubbed caricatures of caricatures) and other popculture icons such as Madonna, Adele, and Sarah Silverman. Cowles strips each person down to features and gestures that show off

continued from page 11

“the pure, raw face of” each character, she says.

And she nails it every time. “A big part of my work is just comedy,” she says. “Comedy is very, very important to me.”

Cowles is making a living with commissions and selling prints of her work online, and gains more freelance work by sending out postcards of her work to art directors. Cowles takes any commission challenge — “anything in the world,” she says.

In the future, she says she’d like to work in character design for a children’s show, such as Cartoon Network’s “Adventure Time,” or even start her own “crazy, kooky” kids’ show.

Cowles also dabbles in music, and while in high school wrote songs for and played in the band The Girls. Cowles also sang in the band The Demos, but says now that she prefers to work behind the scenes. Given a time

machine, Cowles says she would have loved to have written songs for The Spice Girls in the late 90’s, or go back to the 60’s and write for Dusty Springfield.

Cowles is working with her father on some videos for “Sesame Street,” for which he will provide animation and she has made four songs, which she will be performing herself.

See Alison Cowles’s work at her first solo show, “Rough Truth: Celebrity Caricatures,” at the Bug Jar (454-2966, lobbydigital.com) through October 3. You can also check out her work at the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education’s “Spokes & Ink” show, taking place August 25 across the street from the Center (713 Monroe Ave.) For more information, visit geneseearts.org.

Clayton Cowles

Although already successful in the field of digital lettering, Clayton Cowles is planning to put his illustration skills to use in the creator-owned comic-book market in the near future.

12 City august 15-21, 2012

Brother to Alison, the elder child of David Cowles and Laura Wilder is a talented young illustrator for hire and a professional letterer for Marvel Comics.

Clayton Cowles, age 24, wanted to be a comicbook artist from a young age, and like his sister, was encouraged by his working-artist parents. But he also toyed with the idea of going into psychiatry.

“I entertained other career paths,” he says, “but I guess there’s no fighting it. Making art is what I’m good at, it’s what I know.”

Cowles graduated from The Kubert School (formerly The Joe Kubert School for Comic and Graphic Art) in 2009, and immediately gained an internship with Virtual Calligraphy, Marvel’s official-unofficial lettering studio. He’s been working for the company since, honing the skills of blending in. “You’re given somebody else’s art and the script that someone wrote,” Cowles says, “and you have to make it all mesh together, but you have to do it in a way that doesn’t distract the reader and pull them out of the story.”

Cowles’s lettering work can be found in the series “Journey into Mystery,” “Fantastic Four” and its sister title “FF,” “Defenders,” two “Avengers” titles and other “Avengers” books, a “Hulk” book, and an independent graphic novella called “Wild Children.”

Drawing temporarily fell aside as Cowles used his first year out of school to focus on excelling at digital lettering, but in the past two years he’s been exploring graphic elements and studying anatomy, and is working to develop his personal style and an impressive portfolio. His website reveals a variety of interests in subject matter, from developing his own scenes and stories based on existing characters, to pop-culture portraits, to varied work he’s done for the Omega Sketch blog, which sets weekly thematic challenges for participating artists.

Aesthetic influences for Cowles’s own art include Belgian artist Georges Remi (best known as

Herge, the creator of “The Adventures of Tintin”), former X-Men artists Joe Madureira and Alan Davis (Cowles has lettered work for the latter), and Mike Mignola of “Hellboy” fame.

Cowles has a list of artists whom he’d like to letter for, but his ultimate goal is to write and illustrate his own comics. In the next five years, he hopes to emerge into the creator-owned comics industry, inspired by artists and writers such as Jonathan Hickman, writer of “Pax Romana” and “Nightly News,” and writer of Marvel works “Fantastic Four” and “FF.” There are ups and downs to this indie field: you have to do your own promotions, Cowles says, but you have more artistic freedom, and own your own artistic property.

“The more successful guys in comics these days seem to start out with creator-owned [books],” he says. If the artists and writers catch Marvel’s attention and work for the company, they’ll have gained the high profile to better support their independent work. Cowles plans to save enough money to live off of for two years, and then spend that sabbatical developing comics and sending ideas out for the best deals possible.

Cowles also has the special honor of being named the second-ever Marvel Hunk-ofthe-Month (he was picked for August 2011), separated from the original hunk by 25 years. The story consists of good-natured humiliation and camaraderie, and if you buy him a beer, he’ll tell you how it happened.

See Clayton Cowles’s work at his site, claytoncowles.com. You can also check out his work at the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education’s “Spokes & Ink” show, taking place August 25 across the street from the Center (713 Monroe Ave.) For more information, visit geneseearts.org.

Hannah Betts

Photographer Hannah Betts has become sought-after for her nostalgic visual aesthetic.

If you’re in love with all things nostalgic, dreamy, and vintage, Hannah Betts is your gal. Betts’s photography is inspired by the slower, more satisfying lifestyle of old, by smiles, laughter, and softly glowing, natural light.

Betts began shooting photos in her junior year of high school, and fell hard for photography. She attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City; at the time she wanted to go into fashion photography, but after graduation, Betts realized she didn’t fit into the “cutthroat fashion world. It wasn’t my style at all,” she says. She then attended Syracuse University for a year to try out photojournalism — which was also a bad fit, she says — but while there met artist St. Monci, who is now her husband. The two-artist household is full of love, mutual support, and some serious thrift-store skills.

“I found my way in fine art,” says Betts, after she realized she wanted to shoot for herself, and celebrate life through the particular aesthetic that attracts her. Betts is finally at a point in her career where she receives freelance jobs from clients who seek her out specifically for her style, but this came only after she cut her confidence

teeth on collaborative projects with other artists in town. Betts blossomed while doing much of the photography for Rochester artist quintet Sweet Meat Co., as well as for collaborative art space The Yards, both of which share her love of the faded, nostalgic sensibility. She became more at home in her work while sharing the hidden moments that she captured, and the group of young artists grew together.

Like many other emerging artists, Betts struggles with the lack of time and resources to fully pursue that which calls her. She works full time as a photo editor, takes on freelance work as it comes, and pursues her own projects as time allows.

Like many smart artists, she uses her projects to learn more about her craft and expand her skill set. For example, Betts is currently learning about food photography as she shoots images for the lifestyle blog, “Hello, Scrumptious,” one of the side projects she has going with her sisters.

Ironically, though Betts’s aesthetic celebrates a vintage lifestyle, and she has repurposed old cameras and loves to shoot with film that is no longer produced, much of her work is digital. “I would shoot with film a lot more if we weren’t in an age when

people wanted things right away,” she says, adding that it’s more expensive to shoot with film as well. To achieve the nostalgic effects with new technology, Betts tweaks the settings on her camera to intentionally overexpose the image, and shoots in mornings and evenings for softness. What she does begins in the camera, and is enhanced in Photoshop later.

Betts’s long-term dream is to own her own gallery someday. “I want to go out and find artists and show their work,” she says. But she’s not pushing for anything to happen; she prefers to pounce on opportunities that come her way.

“I’m very laid back,” she says. “I believe in being happy. Happy with what you do, happy with being yourself.”

Prong is angular, angry, and aggressive heavy music with zero pomp or fluff. The band’s latest “Carved Into Stone” is more of Prong’s sharp and heavy dynamics with forays into melody as well. Static X, A Thousand Shades of Cold, and 9Electric share the bill. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

of band that would come from California, Antioquia comes by its eclectic sound naturally. The two original members met while in Ecuador, studying drumming and Afro-Columbian folklore, and naturally ended up in San Francisco — because when you’re looking for some flexible musicians, you can’t do better than SoCal. The music has a funky jam-band quality to it at times and some light Latin flavoring. If you like Primus but aren’t so into the weird percussion times this would be a good fit. It certainly makes you want to jump up and shake it. Rebel Fire will be up from Ithaca, and I can say with authority I’ve never quite heard anything like this band’s brand of reggae. — SUZAN PERO

[ review ] by frank de blase

Gallery might be just the place for a Sunday afternoon concert, this one showcasing the compositions of Armenian composer Iosif Andriasov. A 1963 graduate of the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory, Andriasov was offered the position of head of the “Special Committee on Music and Moral Matters” by the Soviet Ministry of Culture. Andriasov declined, and moved with his family to New York City. But in order to take his own compositions out of Russia, Andriasov had to request permission from the Soviet composers’ union, where, it is stated, “Some pages from his [musical] diaries were extracted and replaced with blank paper.”

George Thorogood roared thoroughly

bad-ass to almost 8,000 fans at the final installment of the Party in the Park series last Thursday night. At 62, the Delaware Destroyer still has it, switching from lowdown, gutbucket bluesman a la Hound Dog Taylor to a flashy showman reminiscent of Little Richard. Thorogood offers nothing new, but his fans — myself included — aren’t really looking for anything other than his savage guitar boogie and post-vaudeville, hep-cat shuck ’n’ jive. He is typically a minimalist to the max, yet his stage set up, with all its computer-driven lights and video screen (it looked like a giant Lite Brite) seemed more U2 “Zoo TV” than Junior Kimbrough juke joint. No matter: close your eyes and Thorogood stands alone with that gruff and grizzled voice that suits his age now more than it did when I first saw him at the War Memorial more than 30 years ago.

The Veins opened the show. The band now features the father-son lineup of Jet DiProjetto on guitar and his son Zane on drums. Man, how time

flies. First I realize that I’ve been going to rock shows for more than 30 years, next I see a little bastard who it seems like only yesterday was on his dad’s shoulders at a KISS concert in Buffalo, and now he’s beating the hell out of the drums. The Junior DiProjetto is mechanically similar to his uncle and former Veins drummer, Rob Filardo, but has his own sense of style and presence. It occurred to me as the band pounded out its powerful, heavy rock in the antithetical light of day that I don’t think the group has any songs that aren’t in a minor key.

Sandwiched between The Veins and Thorogood’s guts was drummer and Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Hambridge. The balls on this guy. He took the stage with one snare drum and a ride cymbal, and that was it. He, along with a guitarist and bassist, proceeded to tear up the joint. Despite his abbreviated arsenal, Hambridge (who produced Thorogood’s latest release) pounded out the boogie that was part blues, part Southern rock, and all right.

Rochester hardcore outfit H8 Machine is a study in balance, as it straddles speed and weight perfectly. Call it muscle, call it dexterity, call it brutally beautiful. H8 Machine came to be in 1995 and rapidly rose to the top of the local scene’s heavy heap with its riff-centric, concussion-rendering music, and shows where the band looked like a pinball machine after you hit multi-ball.

In late 1998, the band took a detour on the advisement of management, changing its name to Omniblank and polishing its sound a bit. Things started to happen for the band — national airplay, label showcases, etc. — but inevitably it didn’t pan out. Regardless, the band has no regrets, no apologies.

It’s 2012 and H8 Machine is back with a new EP, “The Movement” — its first as H8 Machine since 1998 — which finds the band’s members (Jeremy Seaver, Al Dettori, Jamien Weissenger, John Murch, and Donny Weisseninger) right where they belong, playing its heavy, fast, relentless music from their guts to yours. The band’s mouthpiece, Dettori stopped by for a beer and to chat about riffs, regrets, and annihilation. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.

CITY: Explain the whole H8 Machine/ Omniblank change-up?

Al Dettori: They convinced us to change

our name. There was Pretty Hate Machine out there; there was Machine Head, Rage

Against The Machine. We had a song called “Omniblank” and we figured anyone who was a H8 Machine fan, they would figure it out.

What’s the goal with “The Movement”?

How did your fans react?

Does the band feel renewed?

Initially we lost a few fans, because the music was a little different from H8 Machine.

It’s always been about power and release. You need a release

Did they consider it selling out?

The band or the audience?

We were just trying to fit into the mainstream our way. So it was heavy, but we still had to play the game, just like all the other bands.

Both. Life is frustrating. I’m a laid-back guy, but everybody thinks differently because on stage I go absolutely crazy. I get everything out and I leave it there. And if people want to come to the show and slam around while listening to the music they can get their life’s frustrations out.

Do you regret that move now?

No, it was fun while it lasted. But our hearts were more into hardcore metal.

Was switching back to H8 Machine smooth?

When we came back and decided to have a reunion it was like we hadn’t skipped a beat, it felt real natural. It wasn’t forced. We came back to our roots. That’s what got us there.

Omniblank took us to a different level, and we appreciate Omniblank and everything it was. But we wouldn’t have gotten there without H8 Machine. H8 machine was the motor that got everything going.

How does H8 Machine create?

I’m a riff guy. I could throw a hundred riffs at you. If you get a song out of it, good. If not we only wasted three hours of our lives. I just have fun doing it.

Why an EP this time?

A lot of people were asking about new material and we were playing it live, so we rushed into the studio, did an EP to keep them busy and off our backs a little bit. Keep ’em chewing on something.

Just giving back to our… I don’t like to call them fans. Friends.

Going to hit the road at all?

We’d like to revisit hot spots in New York and New England, but it’s got to be worth it.

We’ve all got families and kids now.

What has kept the band going?

We’re doing it because we feel we still can do it. We still do it and do it better than a lot of bands out there. That’s not to sound cocky. It’s confidence. My biggest pet peeve is when I used to listen to CDs as a kid, I’d have this vision of what the band should look like, and when I’d actually go and see them they would just stand there. You’ve got to entertain the crowd, don’t just sit there.

And that’s certainly what H8 Machine does.

Our goal is to annihilate anyone that comes in our way. It’s the same attitude we had before.

Of course, we’re not jerks or anything. But when we’re up there, it’s our stage.

INDIE | MiRthkon & MoeTar

FUNK | Bernie Worrell Orchestra

MiRthkon & MoeTar might sound like a couple of aliens from a low-budget flick, but actually both are eclectic rock bands from Oakland, California, currently on an East Coast swing. MiRthkon includes two woodwinds players and its songs have been featured in video game “Guitar Hero Van Halen.” The septet is influenced by Frank Zappa and takes ingredients including prog-rock, avant-garde jazz, and catchy pop, and makes a big instrumental stew. How tasty is that? Quintet MoeTar (pictured) includes female singer Moorea Dickason (Moe) and co-founder bassist Tarik Ragab (Tar). It’s all over the place musically, but ultimately sounds like a classically trained jam band with complex arrangements and jazzy vocal lines.

Why is it that only singers and guitar players draw all the attention and appear to get all the chicks? Keyboard virtuoso Bernie Worrell got the party started in the 70’s as musical director of Parliament-Funkadelic by doubling bass lines and utilizing original riffs and grooves. The Wizard of Woo earned Rock and Roll Hall of Fame immortality in ’97 along with his P-Funk band mates, and has worked with notables including the Talking Heads. Worrell’s current project is the nine-piece Bernie Worrell Orchestra, which leans towards jazz-funk and performs selections from his latest album, “Standards,” along with tunes from Worrell’s decades-long repertoire. With FunkNut and The Meta Accord.

REGGAE/ROCK | House On a Spring

House On A Spring hails from Oswego, which just happens to be located in the heart of one of the strongest reggae scenes in the country. In late 2006, Matt Brown (guitar, vocals) and Josh Russell (keys) combined to create a sound with heavy roots in technical rock and hints of reggae and Latin flavor. Since the band’s initial incarnation, the sound has drifted away from overly complex composition, toward a more rhythmically based vibe. The songwriting still oozes with instrumental intelligence as the ensemble issues robust and ruminative grooves under MC Rob Dee’s discerningly deep lyrical waves. The energetic live performances put the whole package together, delivering thoughtful, improvised jams laden with dub and hip-hop homage.

Baritone Michael Kelly of the group SongFusion will perform art songs this weekend as part of the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED

Around the world Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival “������������� L’Invitation au ��� Voyage� ������� “ Sunday, August 19 Finger Lakes Community College, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua 7:30 p.m. | $10-$60 | 690-1220, LakeMusicFestival.org [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

To hear baritone Michael Kelly of SongFusion speak about art songs is to hear in spoken words the heartfelt emotion he will pour into his upcoming performance at the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival this weekend in a program titled “L’invitation au voyage” (“Invitation to a Voyage”).

“The song ‘L’invitation au Voyage’ by Duparc speaks so specifically to feelings.

It puts your feelings into words, and sometimes those words are exaggerated, but sometimes to get your point across you have to go to extremes,” says Kelly.

“Baudelaire used symbolism so freely and unashamedly, going to images that would help bring across his point as poignantly as possible.”

“L’invitation au Voyage,” written in 1870 by French composer Henri Duparc (1848-1933), is based upon a text by Charles Baudelaire. Baudelaire’s poem is spoken to woo a lover with the imaginings of what their love will bring to them.

Kelly also writes poetry and is drawn to the art song, where poetry and music combine. Kelly prepares to perform art songs much the way the poet and then the composer approached the composition. “I read the poem. I become very familiar with it, sometimes memorizing it first. I live with it before I go to the music. I want to know what the composer saw in the poem before he started his work,” says Kelly. “I can then express within the music my own take on the poem.”

The performance on August 19 is just one of the concerts offered during the multi-week Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival, organized by co-artistic directors Edward Klorman and Amy Sue Barston.

Kelly, one of the singers with SongFusion, is just one of the artists performing from August 15 to August 26. Other festival artists include Michael Block, cello; Moran Katz, clarinet; Elisa Barston,

violin; and others. Festival venues range from the historic Granger Homestead to Wegmans Market Café for the “Classical Blue Jeans” concerts.

The idea for the August 19 program

sprang up between Klorman and pianist and SongFusion member Liza Stepanova.

Klorman and Stepanova are both on faculty at The Juilliard School, and have performed together previously.

SongFusion, based in New York City, focuses on art-song performances, using a traditional recital format and adding “unexpected angles,” such as collaborations with instrumentalists, dancers, actors, and visual artists. An “art song” is typically written for voice and piano, beginning as early as Mozart and Beethoven, and continuing to modern composers.

Klorman had success last year designing a program around a Tolstoy story that had inspired Beethoven. This year, the primary work for the storyinspired concert is “Poem de l’amour et de la mer, Op. 19,” written in 1896

by French composer Ernest Chausson (1855-1899) with text by poet Maurice Bouchor (1855-1929). The song cycle of approximately 30 minutes is dedicated to

Duparc. Both the composer Chausson and the poet Bouchor took their inspiration from the Russian story by Ivan Turgenev (1919-1893) “Le Chant de l’Amour triumphant” (“The Song of Love, Triumphant”).

Klorman says the “Story of Love, Triumphant,” set in ancient Ferrara, is “an arresting and rich story” of two men, one a painter and one a musician, who both fall in love with the same woman. She picks the painter, and the musician sets off on a quest to Arabia, India, and other exotic places to exhaust himself of his love. The Turgenev story will be presented by narrator Tommy Labanaris.

“By coming to the concert in Canandaigua, you can travel through music, story, and poetry to all of these exotic places,” says Klorman. “We may never travel to these foreign countries, like Madagascar, but you can come to know them through these songs. When I listen to this music, I can experience the appeal of the exotic — the appeal of the other.”

Kelly’s career has taken him from an undergraduate degree in vocal performance from the Eastman School of Music to a master’s degree from The Juilliard School to performance venues from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to the Zurich Opera House. Kelly views his travels as an integral part of his performances of art songs. “Travel helps you understand how these people at these places in the world express themselves, and it helps you to understand why the composer wrote in the way that he did, be it a certain reserve in the expression of German music or the passionate aspect in French music,” he says.

For Kelly, these period art songs are also a voyage through time, to the romantic and post-romantic periods.

“What’s so interesting is that expression has been dialed down to a very specific nature,” says Kelly. “We are very to-thepoint now, where before in the 1800’s when you were expressing your art in life, you were less able to be expressive. You put it down. You wrote letters of great extravagance. It will be really interesting for a modern audience to hear how back then people wore their hearts on their sleeves and were not so specific.”

Politics as usual [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

answer to every question, another claimed that contraception caused illegitimate births, another vowed to make the moon the 51st state, and “The Campaign” the eventual winner came down solidly on every (R), directed by Jay Roach side of every issue: what’s not to laugh at?

Now playing “The Campaign” mines a rich lode of material that, however exaggerated and outrageous, mirrors If “The Ides of March,” which appeared in a good deal of contemporary political history. theaters last year, demonstrated some gritty, North Carolina Congressman Cam Brady (Will depressing truths about the political process, Ferrell), about to run unopposed for his fifth term, in this endless and painful election season it encounters an opponent, Marty Huggins (Zach seems perfectly appropriate to observe the other Galifianakis), handpicked by the Motch brothers side of the subject in comic form. Certainly (Dan Aykroyd and John Lithgow), a couple of the process lends itself to comedy — the conservative billionaires, obviously modeled on recently concluded Republican primary, after the Koch brothers. A smug, stupid, narcissistic all, amounted to something very like a clown drunk who sleeps with any attractive woman who show. One candidate responded with “9-9-9” in supports him, Brady finally exasperates the Motches, his former bankrollers, by mistakenly leaving a sexually explicit message on the answering machine of a deeply religious family, which leads them to mount a campaign against him.

That campaign, in which both men throw quantities of Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell in “The Campaign.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER mud at each other

and pull every dirty trick in an as-yet-unwritten book, provides most of the laughs in the film.

At a “civility lunch” launching the campaign, Brady presents a slide show biography of his opponent that makes him look like a complete fool, and points out that he owns two pugs, unpatriotic “Chinese” dogs. He runs television ads showing Marty as a member of the Taliban and a supporter of Osama Bin Laden. When Marty retaliates with accusations that Brady never attends church, the congressman turns up in a gospel choir, then participates in one of those great Southern traditions, snake handling, a bad idea as it turns out.

The Motch brothers pour buckets of money into Marty’s campaign so that they can build factories in the district, where they will employ Chinese workers at Chinese wages — they call it “insourcing.” (Mitt Romney would be proud.)

They send in a slick political consultant, Tim Wattley (Dylan McDermott), to remake the tubby, goofy Marty into a product calibrated to please the public — re-landscaping his property, refurnishing his house, replacing his dogs (he advises putting down the pugs humanely) — which increases the nastiness exponentially.

Marty invites Cam to his house for a conciliatory drink, fills him full of bonded bourbon, then tips off the cops about a drunk driver. Cam fights back by seducing Marty’s wife, Mitzi (Sarah Baker), recording the action, and sending it out over the Internet; Marty

Arrested development [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Dark Horse” (R), written and directed by Todd Solondz Opens Friday

“Ruby Sparks” (R), directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris Now playing

temporarily joins Cam’s hunting party and calmly shoots him. After each incident, no matter how outrageous, the poll numbers of each candidate fluctuate wildly, turning what should have been an easy campaign for Brady into a tight race.

The innumerable bizarre escapades and scandals, including Cam punching both a baby and a dog, attract the attention of the national media, whose representatives report breathlessly on all the crazy events, just the sort of material to captivate the usual pontificators. As election day approaches and the media continue their breathless reporting, the candidates engage in some soul searching, which leads to a rather pat and silly solution, subverting the efforts of the Motch brothers, who fix the election to suit their aims.

As “The Campaign” advances swiftly through the escalating incidents it tends to lose its satirical edge and move into sheer farce. Will Ferrell in particular, combining his George W. Bush imitation from “Saturday Night Live” with his Ron Burgundy from “Anchorman,” leaps way over the top. While many of the people and enough of the context suggest some connections with one familiar, sordid political story or another, the level of outrageousness blunts the sharpness of the movie’s often valid observations.

Its energy and its wholehearted commitment to a raunchy, profane, and often ridiculous view of its subject, however, negate most of its silliness and exaggeration; at its best it’s a great deal of fun.

Not so fast, you. This might not be one of those times when you can skim the first and last paragraphs of a review to quickly learn whether the writer liked the art in question. Honestly, you could read the whole piece and still not figure it out, which can only mean that you’re about to enter the realm of writerdirector Todd Solondz. If you’ve seen his past work, like 1995’s “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” 1998’s “Happiness,” or 2004’s “Palindromes,” then you already know that Solondz doesn’t make movies for you to enjoy, exactly. Solondz revels in holding a mirror up to our collective ugliness, and, unlike other filmmakers, he’s perfectly content to let us squirm on the hook indefinitely.

The big problem with Solondz’s constant provocation is that it hasn’t

always been easy to grasp the necessary heart, truth, and resonance amidst all the envelope-pushing pedophilia, incest, and cruelty often found in his pitch-black comedies. But “Dark Horse,” while still ultra-Solondzy, actually feels a little more mature than his previous work. It tells the story of Abe (Jordan Gelber), a doughy, 30something shlub who still lives with his parents (Christopher Walken and Mia Farrow) in a teenworthy New Jersey bedroom crammed with action figures.

And, as if outward appearances weren’t bad enough, Abe is a jerk, a tantrumprone slacker who treats the world like it has somehow wronged him. Nothing is ever Abe’s fault, and he’s allowed to run roughshod over the few people that care about him.

Abe meets the obviously uninterested Miranda (Selma Blair) at a wedding, where our pushy hero manages to wheedle a phone number out of the pretty but sad-eyed damsel. He proposes almost immediately, yet he’s not so deluded as to be shocked when she soon accepts.

Miranda, who also lives with her parents, is in freefall over a failed relationship and literary career, reasoning in her depressed monotone that she should “give up on hope, ambition, success, independence, self-respect” and just get married. But since Solondz has never trafficked in happilyever-afters, the weird, twisty road that Abe and Miranda must walk is paved with stubborn store clerks, prosperous brothers, dream sequences, neglected spreadsheets, and Hepatitis B. It’s rather gutsy whenever a filmmaker bases a narrative around a truly unpleasant human being, because that whiny loser needs to elicit empathy in less than two hours, and his growth had better be authentic. Solondz is mostly successful, employing a late-act curveball that’s a little too convenient but not entirely outrageous, allowing Abe a glimmer of clarity without a complete overhaul of his repugnant

personality. Gelber’s performance is unflinching, and he’s well-matched by the underappreciated Blair in a role that’s all subtlety. But Farrow and Walken might be the keys here; her doting indulgence and his stone-faced reluctance to rock the boat providing clues as to how Abe got that way.

Solondz fans hoping for something meaner will be disappointed, but everyone has the right to evolve.

By now the Manic Pixie Dream Girl is

a cinematic staple, the quirky, unstable beauty who pedals into a man’s life on her vintage Schwinn and helps make him better. It’s male-daydream hogwash, and screenwriter Zoe Kazan helps to deconstruct the cliché — at least temporarily — in the decent romantic fantasy “Ruby Sparks,” Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’s directorial follow-up to 2006’s smug “Little Miss Sunshine.”

Paul Dano stars as Calvin, a frustrated author whose muse returns once he begins writing about the woman (played

by Kazan) who appears in his dreams.

Then, in one of those be-careful-whatyou-wish-for scenarios, she actually materializes and begins a relationship with the lonely Calvin.

Both as scripter and actor, Kazan lends this trope a sorely needed female perspective, especially when Ruby turns out to have hopes and needs of her own beyond providing unconditional support to a man too self-absorbed to notice that his creation also has a soul to accompany her recent flesh and blood. Supporting ringers like Elliot Gould, Annette Bening, Steve Coogan, and even the hammy Antonio Banderas inject a little frothy fun whenever things threaten to get too heavy, and I love that real-life couple Dano and Kazan aren’t Hollywood-gorgeous; their everydayness makes them seem much more relatable, even if the situation they find themselves in totally isn’t.

85 Roseview Avenue This lovely American Foursquare is waiting for you to move right in. The integrity of this 1,820 square foot c.1930 home has been wonderfully maintained and the addition of air conditioning is a plus. 85 Roseview Avenue is located in the northeast Homestead Heights neighborhood, where Empire Blvd., Culver Rd. and Clifford Ave. all meet. It’s just steps away from stores, baked goods, and pizza! The house sits on a lovely tree-lined street with a variety of architecturally interesting properties.

The front steps are wide and inviting. The yard is treed and has excellent potential for expanded landscaping. Part of the yard is fenced and there is a three car garage.

The front door opens into an original tiled vestibule. Stepping into the foyer, you are surrounded by hardwood floors, gumwood trim and leaded glass doors and windows. To the left of the vestibule is a powder room. Turning right, you step into a lovely living room with

and dryer. The typical 1930s kitchen had a built-in swing down ironing board housed in a shallow cupboard. I opened the cupboard and was delighted to see the board still there!

Many homeowners now use this space for storage. There is a small back porch off of the kitchen and there I saw the original loading doors for the milk and ice boxes that had been in the pantry.

Basement access is from the kitchen and an outside door that opens into a landing. The basement offers good storage, glass block windows, and has a newer furnace with AC. There is also a new water service to the street.

Upstairs trim and doors are all gumwood and many doors have glass knobs. It is a typical Foursquare design with a large central hall, four bedrooms, linen cupboard, attic door, and tiled bathroom with tub and shower. The bedrooms are large and one has a sleeping porch.

This spacious home is on a 0.20 acre

a brick fireplace and tile hearth, flanked by bookshelves and windows. Glass doors open to the enclosed porch with bead board ceiling.

The dining room is through glass doors left of the foyer and again, beautiful floors and leaded glass windows surround you. A swinging door leads to the kitchen. In many homes of this era, the swinging doors and pantries have been removed. Not so at 85 Roseview. The pantry remains with built-in cabinets and has the addition of a washer

lot. Taxes are $3,608. The price of this lovely move-in-ready home is $89,900. For more information, visit rochestercityliving. com/property/R188724 or contact RE/MAX Realtor Doug Sadowski at dougsadowski@ remax.net, 756-7405.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Fern Cooper, 65, and 13 other cataractsurgery patients arrived at Ontario’s Oakville Trafalgar Hospital on June 25 to learn that they would not receive the usual anesthesia because the hospital had decided to schedule an “experimental day” to evaluate how unsedated patients responded. (The Ontario Health Insurance Plan had recently cut anesthesiologists’ fee.) A topical numbing gel, plus doctors’ reassurances were provided, but Cooper, previously diagnosed with severe anxiety, told the Toronto Star of the terror she felt when, fully awake, she watched the surgeon’s scalpel approaching, and then cutting, her eyeball.

Movie Scenes Come to Life

Should Be an Olympic Sport: Romanian gang members have apparently been apprehended after a series of robberies during March, April and May that resembled a scene from a recent “Fast and Furious” movie. The gang’s vehicle approaches the rear of tractor-trailers traveling at highway speed, and gangsters climb onto the hood, grab the 18-wheeler’s rear door, open it using specialized tools, and steal inventory, apparently without knowledge of the driver. In one video released by police in Bucharest, the gang members, after peering inside the trailer, decided to take nothing and climbed back out.

Perspective

Chicago staged its annual gun buy-back program in June (a $100 gift card for every firearm turned in) amidst its worst homicide epidemic in years, in which 259 have died on city streets in the first six months of 2012. However, the program appears to be, inadvertently, a win-win project for both anti- and pro-gun forces. The city re-

ported that 5,500 guns were removed from circulation (bringing the total to 23,000 since the program was inaugurated), and included this year were several machine guns. On the other hand, 60 of this year’s guns were handed in by a local pro-gun organization, Guns Save Life, which promised to use its gift cards to buy ammunition for a National Rifle Association-supported shooting camp for kids.

Bright Ideas

Rhesus monkeys have always posed delicate problems in India, where they are both revered (by Hindu law) and despised (for damaging property and roaming the streets begging for food). In Delhi, the rhesus population has grown dramatically, aided by the Hindus who feed them, and streets and private property are increasingly fouled. However, Amar Singh’s business is good. He owns 65 langurs (apes much more vicious than rhesus monkeys) and, for the equivalent of about $200 per month, periodically brings one or two by a client’s house to urinate in the yard so that the rhesus monkeys will steer clear.

The Aristocrat!

Jacksonville, Fla., sheriff’s officers were investigating in July a suspect (not identified) who they believe is responsible for several incidents in which boxes of readyto-use saline enemas were purchased at a CVS drugstore, opened, used, put back in the boxes, resealed and returned for refund (and which in some cases wound up back on the store’s shelves). The sheriff’s office noted that the man they suspect is in custody, having been arrested on unrelated charges in June.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 36 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Impulsive acts will lead to meaningless affairs. You have to pick your partner based on brain, not brawn alone if you want to find true love. Mental challenges will bring you closer to a long-lasting relationship.

Friendship must come first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Go after what you want. Be progressive and take charge of your desires. You need someone in your life who is as aggressive as you in order to keep your relationship balanced and moving along at a pace that makes you feel comfortable. Sharing and caring should be your goal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract plenty of attention, making it difficult for you to decide who might be the best choice. Keep your options open, offering honesty regarding your plan to take your time when it comes to picking a permanent partner.

Sneaking around won’t end well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be attracted to someone from a different background or with a unique lifestyle. Make sure that your intent is not to change whomever you fall for in order to fit him or her into your world. Compromise will be required if you want to make a go of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your vast interests and activities will lead to some interesting encounters. Love at first sight is possible, but be leery that what you see and what you end up with may not be the same.

Refrain from moving too fast or you may have trouble deterring someone’s advances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Participating in an event of a serious nature will lead to an interesting encounter with someone baring the qualities you want in a long-term partnership. Don’t be shy, take the initiative and show your interest. Don’t let baggage from a past relationship stand in your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid anyone who pursues you aggressively. Inappropriate behavior must not be tolerated.

Jealousy is likely to play a role in how someone treats you. Let it be a sign of things to come.

Hold out for a partner offering respect, affection and loyalty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actions speak louder than words. An original way of approaching someone who interests you will capture attention and bring you closer to finding out whether there is enough common ground to move forward with a one-onone relationship. Don’t rule out a long-distance romance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your changing attitude and adventuresome lifestyle will attract someone just as eager to take a leap of faith before seeing how much you have in common. Have fun but stay within your budget. You don’t want to send the wrong message to someone more interested in your financial situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be impulsive when it comes to love. Don’t jump at the chance to be with someone for the wrong reason. The person best suited to you isn’t likely to be blatant. Look for the reserved, practical individual waiting for you to take notice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time to take action when it comes to love. Size up the potential partners in your life and make a choice. Sharing your life and your expenses with someone who thinks like you will lead to a long-term commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Recognizing what you need in a personal partnership will be half the battle. The person who makes your life simpler and is just as interested in unusual and unique lifestyles will fit into your future nicely. Look around you -- that person is waiting for you to make a move.
