by Eric Andrews-Katz SGN A&E Writer THE MUSIC MAN 5th AVENUE THEATRE Through March 10 The Music Man is one of those shows that stem from the Golden Age of musical theater (roughly, the late 1940s through the early 1970s). Musicals of this era formed the backbone of the American Theater Songbook, with standards such as the rousing anthem “76 Trombones,” the longing ballad “Goodnight, My Someone,” and the warning cry of “(Ya Got) Trouble.” The 5th Avenue Theatre seems specifically designed to put on nostalgic shows such as this one,

and its current production of The Music Man – with its beloved songs, fun story, and excellent choreography – is no exception.

“Professor” Harold Hill is a fasttalking con man who has come to River

to play. Hill also sets out to seduce spinster librarian Marian Paroo, a voice of logic and reason who could expose Hill for what he really is.

Several cast members shine in this production but the real standout is Laura Griffith as Marian. Griffith’s voice continues to be in excellent form, as she’s proven several times in leading roles at the 5th. She exudes a hardened exterior to cover Marian’s inner shyness and we, the audience, are completely aware of when she first lets her guard down. She sings extremely well and when she croons the heartfelt “My White Knight,” there isn’t a soul in the audience who doesn’t

by Sara Michelle Fetters SGN A&E Writer THE 85TH ACADEMY AWARDS ABC-TV February 24, 4 p.m. (PT) It’s been a strange road to the 85th annual Academy Awards – this Sunday’s telecast and presentation is one of the more unusual the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has ever encountered. By moving up the nomination deadline to presage influence by various critics’ organizations, artists’ guilds, and other awards shows (namely, the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs), the Academy inadvertently threw things into all kinds of disarray, creating an atmosphere of odd uncertainty this year that has many perplexed.

You might think this uncertainty would be a good thing,

Jewel Kilcher’s life is the best kind of “It Gets Better” story. Even though the famed music-maker recorded a video to offer hope to struggling teens, she really didn’t need to. For inspiration, one need only look at how she went from living out of her car – and almost dying – to being a Grammy-nominated, chart-topping singer-songwriter. Earlier this month she released Greatest Hits, a collection of songs going back to her first mega-hit single, “Who Will Save Your Soul,” and spanning her entire multigenre career.

We caught up with Jewel to chat about the Queercowboy reality show she wants to make, how she threatened to kill the man who became her Gay “manny,” and the time she performed a not-so-conservative song for a roomful of Republicans.

Franklin’s work in crystallography was able to document for the first time that DNA has the structure of a double helix, yet she was not given proper international credit for her groundbreaking work.

Franklin had a lot going against her, in her short life. She was a female scientist at a time when women were often not even allowed to study science, much less practice in the field. She was Jewish and living in Europe right after World War II, where antiSemitism may also have played a role in hindering her career. She was prickly and a bit standoffish, which is contrary even today to the way women are “supposed” to behave, and while the play gives good evidence for why her guardedness might have been justified, it also suggests ways in which it might have worked against her. Also, she died of

A spare cast of six includes the three scientists who got the international credit for the discovery (Bradford Farwell as Maurice Wilkins, Benjamin Harris as the heedless, flamboyant, and slightly larcenous James Watson, and MJ Sieber as Francis Crick), as well as a lab assistant (Brian Earp) and an American grad student correspondent (Aaron Blakely).

All of these men support the brilliant Kirsten Potter, who channels Rosalind Franklin (Doctor Franklin, please) and who helps us like her even in her prickliness – we root for her as we see her missing out on opportunities to be first to publish her research. In fact, as playwright Anna Ziegler details the race to publish, the audience is led to feel competitive and tense, as if we’re witnessing that race and pulling for our favorite. It’s a singular achievement when we already know who “won.”

A Behanding in Spokane is almost too weird for words

If you find that idea amusing, this play is probably right up your alley. In addition to those three characters, the play is set in a seedy motel with a strange front-desk clerk who gets curious when he hears a gunshot at the start of the play.

Why? This Carmichael guy, a supremely dangerous asshole, has been looking for his missing hand for 27 years.

McDonagh is a British playwright of note.

He takes joy in the nexus of danger and humor, but most of his writing is about British characters. For some reason, this play is supposedly set near Spokane. But the play really has little “local” flavor and could have been set anywhere. What is unique is the idea that hands that have been severed from bodies still exist, and that someone could place an ad on a Craigslist-type web-

twisted sense of humor. Carmichael is wellplayed by Gordon Carpenter, an actor who commonly plays tough guys and knows how to convey a sense of suppressed anger.

Corey Spruill and Hannah Mootz play the hapless dope peddlers who thought they’d earn a fast buck by handing over a random hand they stole from a local museum.

They’re supposed to be a “couple” but have zero chemistry. Still, in this play it doesn’t matter. They play stupid pretty well.

Brandon Ryan gets the most intriguing role of the nosy desk clerk. For reasons of his own, he likes to provoke, even if it might

get him killed. This role is the most fun and contributes the most laughs. Ryan has portrayed a number of odd characters on stage, so he’s also familiar with what it takes to make them sing.

Michael Mowery creates a reasonably realistic rundown motel room. Al Angel supplies solid support in sound design along with Maggie Lee’s light design. Every audience member will likely find different

parts of the show to laugh at – I found the final moment the most delightfully absurd.

Really, you have to be there to see and hear it.

Wageman has transformed the stodgy lakeside theater into a festival of rock-concert lights with the help of lighting designer extraordinaire Chris Frickland. There are more fixtures on that stage than SMT has ever had before, all at once. Sound designer David Torres makes sure the small band, led by music director Kimberly Dare, sounds great. Fun costumes by Betsy Rugg totally play into the boyz’ hotness, with skin-tight pleather, headbands, and muscle Ts. There are a lot of almost-Gay references with lyrics that nearly “come out” but never quite get there. There is a special Sony soul-counter calculating how many are being saved, and of course, the goal is to have zero unbelievers by the end. Feel free to clap along and bounce in your chair. The music is catchy and the lyrics are funny. Your religious grandma, however, would probably not be amused. For more information, go to www.SeattleMusicalTheatre.org or call (206) 363-2809.

ALTAR BOYZ SEATTLE MUSICAL THEATRE Through March 10 Altar Boyz is a great musical for SGN readers to see. If you’ve been hankering for hot guys shaking their hot bods boy-band style, and singing and dancing for God … oh, you haven’t? It’s the God part, isn’t it?

Got you a little worried? Well, if you miss this show, you’ll miss a hysterical satire featuring a quintet of traveling Catholic evangelists (yes, you read that right) who sing, dance, and try to save your soul.

The five local hot bods on stage at Seattle Musical Theatre are Matthew (Mark Tyler Miller), Mark (CJ Conrad), Luke (Eric Hagreen), Juan (Bo Mellinger), and Abraham (Jeff Orton). They’re all pretty good singers and under the choreographic direction of Troy Wageman, they dance their fannies off while squeezing every last double entendre out of lyrics such as “God put the rhythm in me – put it, put it, put it!”

PNB makes triumphant return to New York Audiences cheer Balanchine trio, Romeo et Juliette

by Milton W. Hamlin SGN A&E Writer Pacific Northwest Ballet took the City that Never Sleeps by storm last week, with two full-length evenings of outstanding dance. To say that PNB’s New York performances were a sensational hit would be an understatement. The return to the Big Apple was part of the year-long celebration of PNB’s 40th anniversary.

An all-Balanchine three-part program opened the week-long residency the night before Valentine’s Day at City Center.

While there seemed to be major drama off-stage earlier in the week – a blizzard, canceled flights, possible postponement, you-name-it – the dancers, the musicians, the costumes, the props, the whole shebang came together February 13 with the glorious staging of three major Balanchine works. Taking Balanchine to New York is like ... well, like taking coal to Newcastle.

BRAVOS FOR BALANCHINE Concerto Barocco, Apollo, and Agon, the three Balanchine works, were superbly – nay, gloriously – danced. Curtain calls totaled at least 22 – yes, it was one of those nights. The New York Times ran a short, praiseworthy preview of the two programs and followed up with a half-page rave about the all-Balanchine evening.

One New York City Ballet aficionado raved about the company’s technical skill in the drinks line at first intermission: “PNB is better than the Paris Ballet, better than that company in Hamburg. Better even than New York City Ballet on the Saturday matinee with the young dancers. So much talent, so much perfection.”

Two women seated next to this scribe had just seen “the closed dress rehearsal” for Sleeping Beauty at Lincoln Center. “Classic ballet one night and now this – modern dance, an all-Balanchine program from Seattle. Glorious.” They then confessed sotto voce that they had been “in love with Peter

[that’s Peter Boal, PNB’s artistic director, who is well-known to New York audiences from his years of dancing for Balanchine] since he was 18 or 19.” At the champagne reception following the opening program, Boal, who had famously danced Apollo often in his NY career, delighted the cheering crowd with his memories of dancing the classic Balanchine work and now restaging it “from the other side.”

In a serendipitous moment, the first champagne glass he clicked at the reception was with the SGN reviewer. To quote the opening number from Jersey Boys, just down the street, “Oh, what a night.”

RAVES FOR ROMEO PNB continued its New York return, its first in a zillion years, with the sleek “new” Romeo et Juliette, which played three performances – with two sets of leads – through Valentine’s Day weekend. (See SGN’s February 8 issue for this writer’s review.) These “star-crossed lovers” of Shakespeare’s immortal tragedy have never looked or danced better.

Again, the Times raved – as in raved.

The New York Post joined the clamor with a glowing review that’s worth Googling.

Other reviews, from influential dance magazines to mass-market entertainment publications, will trickle in over the next few weeks. PNB, hopefully, will gather the raves (it’s impossible to imagine an outright pan) and share them online or in a PNB publication.

One indication of Romeo et Juliette’s success was a thundering standing ovation which seemed to go on forever. One member of the press corps dashed out as the curtain came down at the end of the superb performance. He returned a full five minutes later to find the audience still cheering.

When the applause finally subsided, a dancer stepped forward to tell the sold-out audience that this Friday evening was the opening of Dancers Fight AIDS Month, the time of year when dancers, technicians,

(l to r) Jerome Tisserand, Karel Cruz, and Andrew Bartee in Roméo et Juliette

musicians, and others connected with the dance world ask for audience donations to help dancers and other company members living with HIV/AIDS to support AIDS research in general. Like the similar Broadway Fights AIDS fund drive, dance groups compete to see which one can raise the most money. It was a thrill for this SGN scribe to see Seattle’s PNB kick off the 2013 national campaign.

ABOUT CITY CENTER New York City Center has played a defining role in the cultural life of the city for nearly 70 years. It was Manhattan’s first performing arts center, dedicated by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in 1943 with a mission to make the best in music, theater, and dance accessible to all audiences. Today, City Center is home to many distinguished companies including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, New York City Opera, and Manhattan Theatre Club, as well as a roster of renowned national and international vis-

iting artists, and its own critically acclaimed and popular programs. Dance has been integral to the theater’s mission from the start, and dance programs, including the annual Fall for Dance Festival, remain central to City Center’s identity.

The highly anticipated Sardi’s celebratory lunch to honor and toast PNB’s New York triumph was another highlight of the Big Apple visit. Details will have to wait, but just let it be said a good time was had by all. SGN was the major sponsor of this gala outing, and this silly old scribe was host of a fun-fun-fun time. As usual, “buy me a drink, sailor, and I will tell you everything.”

PNB returned home after the final R&J performance to start serious rehearsals for the upcoming Swan Lake in April. Modern Masterpieces debuts March 15 and features Concerto Barocco, one of the works from the all-Balanchine evening at City Center and always an audience favorite. Tickets are on sale now at www.pnb.org.

to feel that.

I know what it’s like to get stuck in those moments, but sometimes it’s the littlest things. For me, sometimes it was somebody smiling at me kindly for no reason when people usually just looked at me like I was a leper because I was homeless. You never know what will touch somebody and give them that little something to keep going and keep fighting for what’s unique about them.

Azzopardi: What in your life made you feel less like an outsider? Was it music?

Jewel: It was writing. Reading authors who were really honest and didn’t use art as propaganda to make themselves seem more perfect – they showed their flaws. At age 14, to hear somebody talk about being less than perfect made me feel a lot less alone. You do find people you feel accepted around, and then you get out of high school and life goes on, and the weirdos are always the ones who end up influencing pop culture – so God bless us! [laughs] Azzopardi: Who was your first Gay friend?

Jewel: Doug. I think we were in eighth grade. I was so terribly in love with him.

He was the only guy who smelled nice and dressed good and was actually kind. I kept trying to turn him straight but it never worked. [laughs] Doug’s parents kicked him out when he came out and I had one friend – this Black guy – and he hated Gays.

He said, “I’m not gonna let you be friends with Doug.” I saw Arthur, the Black kid, years later walking on the beach – holding hands with a guy! Isn’t that typical?

Azzopardi: “Pieces of You” really resonated with the Gay community – especially the line, “You say he’s a faggot, are you afraid you’re just the same?” – but some people missed the point of that song.

Jewel: I can’t tell you how many people walked out of a room for, like, a political [protest] without getting the freaking lyrics.

continued from cover Jewel: I never go back and listen to any of my albums, ever. Once they were mixed and mastered, I’ve never gone back. But it feels like yesterday. I remember it so vividly. It’s such a big part of my heart.

Azzopardi: And a big part of your career.

Jewel: A huge part of my career. Having moved out at 15, and being homeless at 18, I should’ve been a statistic. The fame should’ve just fueled every insecurity I had. Thankfully I was aware of that, and I worked really hard at trying to manage my neuroses and my insecurities so that fame didn’t completely act like fuel to the flame.

That (album) really is just an honest portrayal of who I am and was at that time. I was accepted for who I was for the first time, and it was on a mass level. What a strange thing to go from being an outsider your whole life to suddenly having the whole world say, “We value your thoughts.”

It wasn’t that people thought I was pretty; it wasn’t that people thought I was clever or cool; people actually valued what I was thinking and they valued my emotions and they valued my earnestness, and that was pretty remarkable. It was actually very healing and it changed my life. I can’t even tell you in how many ways – not just psychologically and emotionally but financially. It changed everything for me.

Azzopardi: Your entire life really is an “It Gets Better” story.

Jewel: Awww. Yeah, it’s really true. You can’t live without hope. You can live without money, you can live without so many things, but you really can’t live without hope. It’s so hard to be able to look down the road and see that there are possibilities.

As long as you feel like there’s a possibility, there is hope. It’s important for people

LIMEYS LOVE OCEAN, TOO Finally, congratulations to Frank Ocean for snagging another deserving accolade, this time for International Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards. Fellow Americans Lana Del Rey and The Black Keys won equivalent prizes for International Female Solo Artist and International Group, respectively.

[laughs] Azzopardi: Well, the word “faggot” carries a lot of weight. People really thought you were homophobic then, didn’t they?

Jewel: It’s hard to think that anybody earnestly thought it, but I was written up during New York Fashion Week. When I sang “Pieces of You,” you could hear forks dropping. Half the audience was Gay and the other half was Jewish – and then there were pretty girls there. Nobody actually listened to the lyrics, and I was written about the next day as homophobic. It’s just so funny to me. But for the most part, I think people really got it. I wrote it from a very personal standpoint.

Azzopardi: What inspired the line?

Jewel: All of my Gay friends. Not anyone in particular. It just made me look at the nature of hate. It was a personal exploration of trying to figure out the root of my own insecurities – and, actually, that was right around the time my friend Arthur walked down the beach.

Azzopardi: Would you ever write another song as socially charged?

Jewel: I had a song called “Jesus Loves You” that was kind of like that. I had just written it and I had a private gig where I was hired, but I forgot it was a very Republican room that I was in. I was in Austin and I sang that song not thinking it was that political, and then I realized it was a Jesus song that’s completely offending everybody there, and I was never asked back again. [laughs] And so there was that!

I don’t know. I’ll just have to see. But that song is definitely probably the most shocking of mine, and it’s probably harder to get away with that nowadays.

Azzopardi: It was hard then, though, right?

Jewel: Yeah. I was just fascinatingly too ignorant to know better. [laughs] Azzopardi: When you look back on

your hits, some of these probably feel like old friends. Any particular memories that returned to you while putting together this Greatest Hits collection?

Jewel: All of them have such a story. I was hitchhiking to Mexico when I was 16, when I wrote “Who Will Save Your Soul,” and I ended up on a Mexican drug bust by accident when I was 18 and wrote “You Were Meant For Me.” All of them are really like having a yearbook.

Azzopardi: Did you always have Kelly Clarkson in mind for “Foolish Games”?

How did that come to be?

Jewel: Yeah, I really wanted to recut some of these songs, and some artists have been so sweet about saying that my music’s influenced them – something you don’t think about when you’re making music. It was sweet to hear stories of Kelly saying she sang “Foolish Games” at talent shows when she was a kid. She’s a really cool chick with a killer voice.

Azzopardi: You started out at biker bars, where you performed for lots of Lesbians.

Are there a lot of Lesbians in your life now?

Jewel: You know, I don’t have any Lesbian [friends] right now. I used to when I lived in San Diego, but in Texas, it’s been a little bit slim on the Lesbian front. [laughs] But what’s really cool is, I have to do a reality show about the Gays in Texas, because there’s this whole Gay culture in this really cowboy town that I live in that when guys break up, it’s like, “I’m gonna come get my cows off your place!” “Well, I’m gonna take down the fence I built!” “You better come get your mineral feeders!”

Azzopardi: You’re living Brokeback Mountain down there!

Jewel: It really is like that. And thank God for Grindr, otherwise they could never find each other! When I was 14 and hitchhiking in Alaska, this guy picked me up and he said, “You’re really pretty, you shouldn’t

lan, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco – who really owned the mid-’90s, from record sales to tours like Lilith Fair. Do you miss that time in music when you could sell millions of records and just write really good songs?

Jewel: Yeah, everything has changed.

Music is like that. Everything is cyclical.

I was almost embarrassed when they were making such a big deal out of us because of Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell – and even before them, there were these amazing artists. It’s always cyclical and I feel so fortunate that I was able to sell the records in the time that I did, because those days are gone.

We’ll never sell records like that again.

My whole goal is to have a long career. I never thought I’d get as popular as I did – I hoped to have a career like John Prine or someone like that. I knew when I got as big as I did that it wouldn’t last forever. I grew up in nature – there’s nothing that’s immortal.

Azzopardi: Would you ever return to the dance genre you explored on 2003’s 0304?

The Gays gotta know.

Jewel: Yes, I want to service my Gays. [laughs] I’m doing a bunch of remixes for this Greatest Hits. A lot of them are club remixes – “Standing Still,” “Two Hearts Breaking,” and one of “Foolish Games.”

But it’s been so hard to get the label to value

my remixes. I think they don’t really look at it as sales, but to me, it’s so important. I love re-inventing the songs, it’s such a creative outlet.

Azzopardi: What’s the status on the film you shot for Lifetime, The June Carter Cash Story?

Jewel: It hasn’t been released. It’s out this summer sometime.

Azzopardi: I know you’ve acted before but never in a lead role of this caliber. What was the most challenging part for you?

Jewel: It was a big part. And I tried to tell them I wasn’t an actor! [laughs] It was scary.

Acting is scary. It’s hard, because it’s not my first craft. But I really got the bug this time.

It felt creative for the first time instead of just terrifying. I hope to honor her memory and give John Carter [June’s son] something I didn’t completely mess up.

Azzopardi: I imagine it’s a difficult transformation. You’re not creating the character.

Jewel: Yeah – and playing the part that Reese [Witherspoon] won an Oscar for!

The Music Man opened on Broadway December 19, 1957, with book, lyrics, and music penned by Meredith Wilson. Starring Barbara Cook as Marian Paroo, the musical was the first to present Robert Preston in a singing role. Running for more than 1,375 performances, it was originally nominated for eight Tony Awards and won five, including Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Musical. When the time came for the movie (released in 1962), many of Hollywood’s leading men, when offered the title role, reportedly answered, “Not only will I not take the role, but if Robert Preston doesn’t do it, I won’t bother seeing it.” The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one for Best Musical Score. The Music Man has since enjoyed two Broadway revivals (starring Dick Van Dyke in 1980 and Craig Bierko in 2000), and a TV remake was produced in 2003 starring Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Broderick.

We call him the “manny.” He’s amazing. He’s just a treasure in my life and I don’t know what I’d do without him.

Azzopardi: Do you always carry a knife in your boot?

Jewel: Not anymore! [laughs] Azzopardi: When you made the shift to country music, did you feel like the odd one out because your politics on Gay issues don’t generally align with what is thought of as conservative values?

Jewel: No. I have one friend who definitely had a problem with Gays, but I like to say that I’m so open-minded that I’m openminded enough to have friends like that.

You can’t control what other people think.

All you can do is live your own life and see what makes life worth living. See what you believe in and what you think is right. I try to live my life according to that.

Azzopardi: You were part of a wave of female singer-songwriters – Sarah McLach-

Gabriel Corey plays Tommy Djilas, the town’s juvenile delinquent. The man knows how to perform on a stage and does very well in his role. Keeping an eye on him won’t be difficult as the audience is drawn to the kick that goes just a little higher and the head that “pops” just a little more than those of the other dancers. There is a fine line between having natural ability and purposely pulling focus from one’s stagemates, and Corey dances this line with a comfortable grace and a cocky little smile.

RACEY A NATURAL The title role goes to Broadway veteran Noah Racey. He takes it on with the ease of a slick snake-oil salesman, which is the exact definition of Harold Hill. Racey sings with a voice that is easily heard and dances with smooth motion. He embraces his character’s charismatic charm with a comfortable confidence and exudes it throughout

Have a golden time at Purr’s Oscar party

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer We know for sure that Ben Affleck won’t be walking away with the Best Director statue, though he’s claimed every equivalent prize leading up to the Oscars. But this year’s Academy Awards do include a couple of nail-biters – including, once again, the Best Actress race, where momentum has swung in recent weeks to Jennifer Lawrence over the more critically acclaimed Jessica Chastain. The other suspense-filled category is Best Supporting Actor, which has five veterans – all previous Oscar champs – battling for another trip to the podium.

The 85th installment of the film industry’s top honors, beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday, February 24, will feature musical performances by Barbra Streisand, Shirley

Bassey, Adele, and Norah Jones. Taking on emcee duties this year is Seth MacFarlane, who (if we’re fortunate) could give the three-hour telecast a more risqué comedic boost than usual.

You can catch all the action, from the redcarpet arrivals to the naming of the year’s best picture, at Purr Cocktail Lounge (1518 11th Ave.). Seattle Gay News and Purr have teamed up once again to present “A Night at the Oscars,” a free-of-charge viewing party with 15 flat-screen TVs positioned throughout the lounge/restaurant. Drink and food specials will be offered and prizes will be awarded for the most accurate predictions.

(Arrive early to fill out a ballot!)

Look for the Purr ad in this issue for more info. Everyone 21 and over is welcome, regardless of whom you’re cheering for – or against.

On Oscar Sunday, February 24, Three Dollar Bill Cinema and Gay City Health Project roll out the red carpet to celebrate the 85th Academy Awards. This eagerly anticipated annual event benefiting the two nonprofit organizations moves this year to Capitol Hill at a brand new location – The Social.

“We put a decidedly Queer twist on viewing the Academy Awards, which has made our party hands down the most fun place to watch the ceremony and celebrate the movies,” said Jason Plourde, Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s executive director.

“The Academy Awards are shaping up to be amazing once again,” added Gay City Health Project executive director Fred Swanson. “We’re excited to provide another fabulous opportunity to mix, mingle, and watch the show while supporting Gay City and Three Dollar Bill Cinema.”

The festivities begin at 4 p.m. with the red-carpet arrivals and a special VIP champagne reception. Guests will have access

to a main viewing room to catch all of the action on multiple projection screens, as well as social viewing spaces throughout The Social’s expansive space. A no-host bar will be open for all guests to enjoy special handcrafted cocktails featuring Pearl Vodka and Ezra Brooks Bourbon, and Seattle’s Cele’s Meals will provide complimentary bites. The ever-popular, gold-painted “Oscar Boys” will be selling raffle tickets for chances at fabulous prizes, including travel getaways and “staycation” packages. There will also be prizes for the most correct ballot predictions.

The Social is at 1715 Olive Way in Seattle.

VIP admission is $75 and includes a special champagne reception with hors d’oeuvres from 4 to 5 p.m., along with preferred/reserved seating and a dedicated VIP bar.

General admission is $25 and includes a complimentary buffet. Visit www.threedollarbillcinema.org for more info and to purchase tickets.

An Argo win would break the mold in numerous ways, and some insiders (not all, of course) believe it would tarnish the award’s prestige. snubbing, Affleck and Argo going on to win a seemingly never-ending series of awards from critics and guilds alike, including the BAFTA prize for Best Picture, the WGA for adapted screenplay, and the SAG for best ensemble.

Why has this created such a controversy?

In this history of the Academy Awards, while other movies have won Best Picture without a Best Director nomination (Driving Miss Daisy being the last to do so), the fact that there are nine nominees in the top category, coupled with the fact that nomination voting was scheduled so early, many in the industry look at the historical stats and are perplexed by what is going on. An Argo win would break the mold in numerous ways, and some insiders (not all, of course) believe it would tarnish the award’s prestige.

Is this true? Would Argo winning really damage Oscar beyond repair? Personally, I don’t see a gigantic problem. The Academy pushed itself into a corner in its frantic push to beat all other movie awards to the punch, forcing members to vote without ample time to see all the contenders, using a new, unfamiliar online voting system. Studios didn’t have time to set up screenings or get screeners to everyone, allowing entertainments like Lincoln, Life of Pi, and Silver Linings Playbook, considered (rightly or wrongly) more audience-friendly and “safe” than the majority of their competitors, to receive the majority of nominations and be instantly proclaimed frontrunners.

Old Master exhibit at SAM a must-see Kenwood House renovation offers Seattleites a unique opportunity

by Eric Andrews-Katz SGN A&E Writer

THE TREASURES OF KENWOOD HOUSE, LONDON SEATTLE ART MUSEUM Through May 19 Kenwood House is located at Hampstead Heath on the outskirts of London, and was (at one point) the stately home of Lord Iveagh of the Guinness brewery legacy.

The art collected there since the early 17th century is legendary, consisting of many of the great portraitists of the art world. Now undergoing an extensive renovation, Kenwood House is allowing the art to travel on loan – some of it for the first time outside of the building, never mind out of the United Kingdom. Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is one of just four U.S. venues to host a selection of these wonderful classics.

Some of the European masters included in this exhibit are the noted portraitists Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, and Anthony Van Dyck. The jewel of the collection is the late-in-life self-portrait of Rembrandt (Harmenszoon van Rijn). “It was one of the first paintings [we] hung,” says SAM exhibit curator Chiyo Ishikawa.

“It felt [like] he was presiding over the happenings.”

Standing alone on a red wall for emphasis, the Rembrandt keeps an eye on the other great masters of his time. While this is his sole work in this exhibit, there are seven paintings by Gainsborough, nine by Joshua Reynolds, and two by Van Dyck among the 48 paintings from the much larger Kenwood House collection.

SERENDIPITOUS OCCURRENCE “Putting together this exhibit was simple in comparison [to other exhibits],” Ishikawa says. “Most of it was organized by a third party, the American Federation of Arts.”

Based in New York, the AFA works as a liaison between lending institutions. For this exhibit several factors came into place simultaneously, making the transition smooth. “The art needed to be moved due to the construction at Kenwood House,” Ishikawa reports. “So the AFA became involved approaching potential venues and sending out proposals with layouts, schedules, and costs. It was probably the most straightforward transaction I’ve worked with.”

Moving through the gallery is like taking a silent look into the lives of the upper bourgeoisie of the time. It doesn’t matter that the average person today doesn’t know who these people were – it is their images that we are captivated by. Lady Brisco (c.

1776), by Gainsborough, shows a formally dressed woman in a powdered pompadour wig of the time, surrounded by trees and accompanied by her playful dog. Looking over the details of her fine dress, the viewer easily notices each golden thread, or may be drawn to the carefully represented strand of pearls about her elongated neck. Looking up into the pale face it seems as if the painted lips are about to speak, and we await her announcement.

The Portrait of Pieter van den Broecke (whose subject looks amazingly like actor Geoffrey Rush), by the Dutch master Frans Hals, was painted in 1633. Hals’ talent was

considered equal to that of Rembrandt, his contemporary. The subject of this painting is an average merchant seaman enjoying moderate success and a friendship with the painter. But the portrait is so finely painted that the viewer expects it to come to life at any moment, exploding into laughter and extending a hand at the joke.

A 17th-CENTURY LOLCAT Don’t think the portraits are all stuffy or stifling, because there are many parts of life represented here. In one painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, two young girls play dress-up with their kitten. The play of light in the painting shows cherubic faces in their delight, with chubby cheeks, an impish smile, and eyes mischievously reflecting in the candlelight. Their delight is solely their own – the poor kitten stares directly out at the viewer with an expression of sheer terror.

While the collection focuses on the portraits, there are beautifully crafted landscape scenes as well. Dutch painter Aelbert Cuyp’s (1620-91) View of Dordrecht (c.

1655) shows a harbor coming alive in the early morning as boats and rafts begin moving on the water. Although they are painted with clarity, the boats are only part of the picture. It is the sunlight coming in from off the edge of the canvas that helps to bring reality to this scene. Depth is portrayed with the distant harbor and the clouds dissipating in the morning sun.

The layout of the exhibit at SAM is easy to follow and allows the viewer to spend intimate moments with the paintings. “Most curators can [lay out the exhibit] as they want,” Ishikawa says, but the AFA wanted the right to see and approve the layout at SAM. Seattle is the third city (after Houston and Milwaukee) to host the exhibit, but SAM doesn’t attempt to mimic either of the previous galleries, nor Kenwood House, in its layout. “There’s no denying SAM is

Frans Hals, Pieter van den Broecke, 1633, Oil on canvas Kenwood House, English Heritage; Iveagh Bequest (88028830)

a modern, neutral building,” notes the curator. “So I tried to focus on showing [the paintings] to their best advantage with enough space, so visitors can get a one-onone experience.”

SEATTLE BONUS EXHIBIT In addition to the Kenwood House collection are paintings from seven different Seattle collections in a separate exhibit titled European Masters: Treasures of Seattle. “There are overlaps with the Kenwood House, with paintings by Hals and one or two others,” reports Ishikawa, but it more complements than completes. Among the paintings included is one in the series of Titian’s The Madonna of Sorrows, a beauti-

ful oil portrait of a crying Mary that clearly illustrates the Venetian master’s talent. The Seattle gallery is not to be missed.

Kenwood House was built in the early 17th century. Lord Iveagh donated it to the British government in 1927, upon his death as stated in his will. Now a museum, the building is open to the public and in recent times has hosted approximately 150,000 visitors a year. While not all of the Kenwood collection is on tour (Vermeer’s The Guitar Player, for example, is too fragile to travel), the Seattle Art Museum is lucky enough to be hosting an excellent representation. Those planning a visit to the U.K. are advised that the house will be under renovation until at least November of this year.
