Artists’ salvage turned exhibit
T
he Huntington Arts Council will present the juried exhibition, Objects Found, from Feb. 15 to March 23, with an opening reception planned for Feb. 15, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Main Street Gallery located at 213 Main St. in Huntington. The reception is a free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The Arts Council invited artists to submit work that incorporated salvaged materials. During the creative process, artists were asked to consider still lifes, Joseph Cornell’s ephemera-filled boxes, Tim Noble’s and Sue Webster’s discarded item assemblages, Jim Golden’s object photography, and Jane Perkins’ 3D-
collage portraits, among other works. The artists were encouraged to use items that may have been found or collected — from twigs and antiques, to toys and textiles — to complete their work. The following artists were selected to participate in the exhibit: Beth Atkinson, Lisa Cangemi, Kathleen Celestin-Parks, Janet Costello, Heather Gottfried, Naomi Diracles, Terry Finch, Jim Finlayson, Anindita Ghosh, Bill Grabowski, Jeffrey Grinspan, Lenore Hanson, Beth Heit, Julianne Jimenez, Julianna Kirk, Liz Kolligs, Stephen Martin, Martha McAleer, Glenn McNab,
Kristen Memoli, John Micheals, Gabriella Grama, Gail Neuman, Ellen Paul, Jonathan Pearlman, Howie Pohl, Denis Ponsot, Meryl Shapiro, Sally Shore, Lauren Singer, Scott Schneider and Nancy Yoshii. “Selecting for this show was challenging because of all the high-quality artwork,” said juror Tara Leale Porter of Red Lotus Fused Glass Art. “The artwork varies from minimalist to maximalist, with their narrative composed of everyday materials manifested in sublime ways. These artworks are like pieces of jazz that found their form bebopping down the rabbit hole.” The show has been described as “a wonderful compilation of artistic expression through a vast variety of objects and
creative techniques” by Marc Courtade, executive director of the Huntington Arts Council. “Submissions include everything from sculpture to photographs, each telling a unique story reflected through the combined objects in the work. I certainly welcome everyone to stop by the reception or our gallery to see this exhibit,” he said. In her own artwork, Leale Porter creates a narrative through a dialogue of materials. She interweaves her fused glass with found objects that have a time-worn patina to construct stories of destruction and regeneration. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute and a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Hofstra University.

Agatha Christie’s ‘The Hollow’ at Adelphi Adelphi University’s Department of Theatre will present Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, “The Hollow,” on Tuesday, Feb. 26, through Sunday, March 3, featuring its own talented students. Match your wits against the most
murderous mind in fiction when Christie, the “Queen of Crime,” brings passionate love, lost love and deadly love in this exciting production. An innocently planned weekend (or was it?) flashes into passion and murder
as the guests — some expected and some not — collide at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and the eccentric Lucy Angkatell. Follow the action to determine who has the motive and chance to kill. Is it the talented but tortured sculp-
tress, the jilted and vicious movie star, the disregarded lover, the desperate young girl, the foolish wife, the hostess who knows more than she lets on, or the very protective butler? When the inspector and his loyal sergeant arrive, the body of a brilliant doctor awaits them, secret motives are laid bare and justice is restored. Christie’s “The Hollow” will be staged at Adelphi PAC’s Olmsted Theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m., with a postshow discussion; Thursday, Feb. 28 and Friday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m.; two shows on Saturday, March 2 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m. The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday will be opencaptioned for deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons. Tickets are $25, with discounts available to seniors, students, staff, and alumni. Information is available at the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516-877-4000 or boxofice@adephi.edu.

New Orleans-style music in Port Celebrating over 40 years since their founding in 1977, New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres, including bebop, jazz, funk and R&B soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a “musical gumbo,” has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Norah Jones. Now, 40 years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. They are set to join the Mardi Gras Indian band, Cha Wa, at a per-
formance at Landmark on Main Street on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. Cha Wa radiates the fiery energy of the best features of New Orleans’ street culture while sharing a more serious,
social message in their music. Over the years, their songs have tackled issues from the ’50s-era Jim Crow vagrancy law to the development of Mardi Gras Indian culture. “We dress up in the Indian
suits to pay homage to the Native American Indians, because around the time of slavery, they were the first ones to take us in,” says singer J’Wan Boudreaux. “Everything on our suits is handmade — the beads,
the patterns, we sew together pieces of fabric and make the panels, we make the boots — everything.” Not that you need a firm understanding of Indian or brass band culture to feel the danceready vibrations of Cha Wa’s new music. “It’s dance music so I think people are attracted to it. Even if people have no idea what the history is, it’s automatically infectious,” they explain. “J’wan’s the next generation. He’s keeping this flame lit.” Tickets to see the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and special guest Cha Wa are available through Landmark’s box office, 516-7676444 or www.landmarkonmainstreet.org. Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main St. in Port Washington.
Switchfoot shares surf life, film, songs Together for more than 20 years, the band Switchfoot has achieved a level of success that brothers Jon and Tim Foreman and their high-school friend Chad Butler never anticipated when they first formed in San Diego in 1996. The Grammy Award-winning rock band recently released their 11th full-length album, Native Tongue, which debuted in the top 10 on multiple Billboard, Amazon and iTunes charts, and embarked on a tour to share their message of love and hope with
their fans. “These are polarizing times where the loudest voice is often the voice of anger or fear,” says band co-founder Jon Foreman. “This album is an attempt to sing that hope into life. To bring a group of diverse songs under one common banner. Hatred is not your native language. Love is your Native Tongue.” The SoCal natives have sold millions of records, including their 2003 double-platinum breakthrough, The Beautiful Letdown,
and 2009’s Grammy Award-winning Hello Hurricane. With a string of hit singles, such as “Meant to Live,” “Dare You to Move,” “Mess of Me,” “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues),” “Dark Horses,” and “Afterlife,” Switchfoot has performed sold-out world tours, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid homeless kids in their community through their Bro-Am Foundation, and earned themselves a global fan base devoted to their emotionally intelligent and
uplifting brand of alternative rock. Switchfoot traces its roots to the beaches of San Diego when the Foremans and Butler connected as surfers (Jerome Fontamillas joined in September 2000 and Drew Shirley in 2005). Though they competed in national surf championships on weekends, their real bond came from a common love of music. They decided to form a band, chose the name Switchfoot (a surfing term), put themselves through months of sweaty rehearsals in their garage, and then hit the road. After just 20 gigs, Switchfoot released three albums, The Legend of Chin (1997), New Way To Be Human (1999), and the gold-certified Learning to Breathe (2000), followed by their fourth album, The Beautiful Letdown, which has sold 2.6 million copies, 2005’s Nothing Is Sound, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, and 2006’s Oh! Gravity, which climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Album chart. Itching for creative freedom, Switchfoot financed the building of its own studio where they recorded their seventh album, the hard-hitting Hello Hurricane, and its groove-oriented follow-up, Vice Verses. Switchfoot premiered Fading West on opening night of the 2013 Summer XGames. The band has been very active in the action sports world, having performed at numerous NFL and MLB post-game events, as well as at the U.S. Open of Surfing in 2011. The band’s current Native Tongue tour will bring them to The Paramount on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 7:15 p.m. To witness Switchfoot’s growing wave in the music world and catch their latest show, go to www.paramountny.com for tickets. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

Best of Broadway returns to Adelphi Talented performing arts students from Adelphi University will delight their audiences with rousing renditions of numbers from the footlights of Broadway’s stages at Adelphi’s Performing Arts Center this month. This year’s show, “You Think You’ve Got It Bad? — The Doctor Is In,” tackles musical moments
exploring the human condition. Meant to inspire a wide breadth of emotions, the show may cause laughter, tears, or spontaneous singing. The show, under the direction of Duane McDevitt and music director Aaron Gandy, will feature selections from “Avenue Q,” “You’re A Good Man,
Charlie Brown,” “Kinky Boots,” “La Cages aux Folles,” “Kiss Me, Kate,” “The Addams Family,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Spamalot,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Oklahoma!,” “Camelot,” “Spring Awakening,” “Next To Normal” and more. Best of Broadway will be performed on Saturday, Feb. 23
at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 24 at 4 p.m. on the Westermann Stage in Adelphi’s PAC Concert Hall. The Poole Family Broadway Series at the Adelphi PAC is generously sponsored by Mary Jane and Thomas Poole. Tickets are $25, with discounts available to seniors, students, staff, and alumni.
Information is available at the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516-877-4000 or boxofice@adephi.edu. Regular office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 p.m. The box office is also open two hours before most scheduled performances. Ticket sales and additional information are available online.
Winter recess film screenings for kids During midwinter recess from school, young movie fans can enjoy two special screenings hosted by the Museum of the Moving Image. To coincide with Black History Month, “Sweet Blackberry Presents,” created by actress Karyn Parsons (“Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”), features littleknown, inspiring stories of African-American achievement,
animated for children. The program includes three short films that bring the stories of Henry ‘Box’ Brown, Janet Collins and Bessie Coleman to life. Brown was a 19th-century Virginia slave who escaped to freedom through the Underground Railroad and went on to become a noted abolitionist. Collins was among the pioneers of black ballet dancing
and one of the few classically trained black dancers of her generation. Coleman was an American civil aviator, the first woman of African-American and Native-American descent to hold a pilot license. The screenings of “Sweet Blackberry Presents” will take place every day from Saturday, Feb. 16 through Sunday, Feb. 24 at 12 p.m.
The film “Paddington 2” will be shown at 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 18 through Friday, Feb. 22 and on Sunday, Feb. 24. As fans of the first film and classic book series by Michael Bond know, the beloved Paddington faces the world with kindness — and always with a side of marmalade. Every bit as charming and funny as the original “Paddington” film, the sequel finds the young bear now living comfortably with the Brown family in London and off to a new adventure. Paddington seeks a special birthday present for his beloved Aunt Lucy. A visit to Mr. Gruber’s (Jim Broadbent) antique shop leads to the discovery of a beautiful and mysterious pop-up book featuring detailed scenes of London — the perfect gift. Paddington just has to earn enough money to buy it
and to keep it out of the hands of a master thief, played with delicious gusto by Hugh Grant. Featuring a top-notch cast, magical, animated sequences in which the book comes to life, and pure slapstick hilarity, “Paddington 2” is a joyful experience. Variety has called the film “another near-pawfect family entertainment, honoring the cozy, can-do spirit of Bond’s stories while bringing them smoothly into a bustling, diverse 21st-century London.” Ticket purchases to the above screenings include same-day museum admission, making a visit to the museum a fun and educational family outing. The Museum of the Moving Image is located at 36-01 35th Ave. in Astoria. For more information, call 718-7776800 or go to www.movingimage.us.
