LIONSGATE

The three focal women – Charlize Theron as steely Fox veteran Kelly, Margot Robbie as ambitious “Christian Millennial” Kayla Pospisil and Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, first to break ranks and sue Ailes after he punished her with a demotion for dodging his sexual advances – are all mesmerizing.

as it planning or mere serendipity that timed the release of Bombshell to coincide with the beginning of the trial of Harvey Weinstein? Perhaps some canny PR person at Lionsgate, the movie’s distributor, was keeping a weather eye on the court calendar. Or maybe there’s simply something in the air these days about women deciding, like the anchorman Howard Beale in Sidney Lumet’s classic satire Network, “We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore!”

As radically as we perceive the television landscape having changed since that movie came out in 1976, the comparison has not become irrelevant. “Television

will do anything for a rating...anything!”

Network screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky told interviewers at the time. “The American people are angry and want angry shows.” Forty years prescient, he could’ve been talking about Fox News in 2016, when Bombshell’s story unfolds. And the shameless way in which Fox has both tapped into and cultivated the fear-based, frustrated zeitgeist of rightward-leaning viewers is as much what this movie is about as the issue of sexual harassment.

More than that, Bombshell is a meditation on big-business culture in general, where conformity and unquestioning loyalty are expected to trump any personal qualms about what one’s employer is up to. Not everyone at Fox News is privately drinking the Kool-Aid, we’re told – ideology is the product being pitched by leggy anchors

in miniskirts seated behind Lucite desks, not necessarily the raw material – but no one may deviate aloud from the company’s mission statement. The picture being painted here by director Jay Roach, screenwriter Charles Randolph and a crack crew of actors could apply equally convincingly to a corporation that’s polluting the environment or hawking balloon mortgages.

In fact, the latter was the subject of the screenplay that won Randolph a welldeserved Oscar in 2015 for The Big Short.

While Bombshell isn’t nearly as good a

movie (and certainly not in a league with Network), much of its entertainment value derives from employing many of the same sorts of narrative tricks that enabled viewers to follow The Big Short’s twists and turns through the arcane complexities of the modern banking world.

There’s plenty of explanatory fourth-wallb r e a k i n g , especially from a terrific Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, primary guide for our backstage tour of the “news” network and crux of the dramatic question of what it will take to trigger a sea-change in a toxic corporate hierarchy.

Its weaknesses fall along the same plane: Bombshell name-checks so many characters at and around Fox

John Remmington, Austin Carrothers, Andrew Joffee and David Dancyger in Rumors

BEN COVERT

STAGE

NEIL SIMON’S RUMORS OPENS THIS FRIDAY AT CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS AT RHINEBECK

“T

he simplest aspect of farce is you need a lot of doors, and you need people running in and out of them,� celebrated comedic playwright Neil Simon once said. “Generally speaking, in a farce, people are trying to withhold information from other people. Everybody in the play has to be in trouble.� That sums up about all you need to know about Simon’s 1988 play Rumors, which opens on Friday, January 10 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck and runs through January 19th, in a new production by the Rhinebeck Theatre Society.

Rumors transpires at the upscale home of Charley Brock, deputy mayor of New York City, where a fancy dinner party celebrating his tenth wedding anniversary is scheduled to begin. As guests arrive, couple by couple, Charley lies unconscious in his upstairs bedroom with a bullet hole in his earlobe, and his wife Myra is nowhere to be found. As their host seems likely to survive, some of his friends are motivated to keep word of the disaster from becoming public knowledge. But one couple has been in an auto accident en route to the party, and the police are on their way. Disagreements about how to spin the story and to whom escalate as the players dash upstairs and down, darting in and out of plenty of doors in the process of creating diversions and coming up with ever-wilder explanations.

Silly, fun and hectic, this classic door-slammer farce is directed by Michael Juzwak. The cast includes Andrew Joffe as Lenny, Cindy Kubik as Claire, Elaine Young as Chris, John Remington as Ken, David Dancyger as Ernie, Tracy Carney as Cookie, Austin Lightning Carrothers as Glenn, Tamara Cacchione as Cassie, Joe Felece as Officer Welch and Petis Russo as Officer Pudney. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. The final performance on Sunday, January 19 will be “sensory-friendly,� with strobe lighting eliminated and sound amplification muted to accommodate audiences with epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders and other types of light and noise sensitivity.

Tickets cost $25 for all seats for all performances. To purchase, come to the Center box office at 661 Route 308 in Rhinebeck between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, call (845) 876-3080 or visit www.centerforperformingarts.org.

Charley lies unconscious in his upstairs bedroom with a bullet hole in his earlobe, and his wife Myra is nowhere to be found.

little more complicated than a mustachetwirling villain. For viewers to buy that people, especially women, would go on working for him year after year, the actor had to give Ailes a little bit of an avuncular quality, like that annoying relative who keeps getting invited back to the holiday party despite the fact that being in his company after he knocks back a few beers is predictably an ordeal. Lithgow nails it.

It can’t have been fun, but he’s a pro.

Lots of A-list character actors get their brief turns here, not all of them wasted. McKinnon reliably lights up the screen, even though her character Jess was invented to provide a mouthpiece for closeted LGBTQ and progressively inclined staff at Fox. (Once you’ve worked there, Jess and other characters note, it’s hard to leave and find work elsewhere – you’ve been tainted by the company’s reputation for shoddy, sensationalized journalism.) Allison Janney does her usual rough magic as the traitorous Susan Estrich, Ailes’ formerly feminist attorney; Connie Britton has a heartbreaking bit as loyal Beth Ailes having her nose rubbed in her husband’s perfidy; Malcom McDowell makes Fox owner Rupert Murdoch seem almost a decent human being as he cuts Ailes loose at last, while Alanna Ubach embodies Jeanine Pirro as perhaps the vilest diehard member of Team Roger.

While Bombshell doesn’t entirely jell as cinema, it’s a noble experiment whose time has certainly come. The next few years should bring us more onscreen to chew on with regard to pervasive rape culture in the business world and how women are pushing back. Meanwhile, as Harvey Weinstein discovers that the light at the end of his tunnel is the headlight of the oncoming #MeToo locomotive, it’s thought-provoking indeed to be reminded that this train first left the station at Fox News, where, in 2016, nobody dared call herself a feminist. – Frances Marion Platt

that it can be hard to follow at times.

Tony Plana mugging in Geraldo Rivera makeup feels obligatory, adds nothing to the story. Other characters more pertinent to its unfolding get referred to only briefly, sometimes without even a last name mentioned. Janice Dean, for example – a rare staff member who actually talked with her female colleagues about harassment and encouraged them to come forward – is referred to simply as “Janice in weather.� Bill O’Reilly, who left Fox around the same time as CEO Roger Ailes due to harassment charges, is a can of worms left mainly unopened – although he is glimpsed (Kevin Dorff ), and two key composite characters played

by Margot Robbie and Kate McKinnon are production staff for his show.

There’s an awful lot of material packed into Bombshell’s 108-minute running time, much of it surprisingly entertaining for a movie about such a grim and downbeat subject as the sexual exploitation of women in the workplace. Randolph’s zingy script deserves considerable credit for its arch tone, and Roach – trying hard these days to elevate a directorial

reputation associated in most minds with the lightweight Austin Powers movies – does a creditable job of keeping things moving along at a brisk pace without losing us.

But most viewers will be drawn in primarily by the acting. The three focal women – Theron as steely Fox veteran Kelly, Robbie as ambitious “Christian Millennialâ€? Kayla Pospisil and Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, first to break ranks and sue Ailes after he punished her with a demotion for dodging his sexual advances – are all mesmerizing, although exactly how naĂŻve Robbie’s character is

supposed to be is left a little unclear. Her distress in the movie’s cringiest scene, in which Ailes insists on Kayla hiking her dress ever higher behind the closed door of his office, certainly is played as genuine.

The toughest acting job falls to the great John Lithgow as Ailes, weighed down by a six-piece fat suit and piles of face, jaw and neck prostheses. More than the hours in the makeup chair, his primary challenge was to take a man who was genuinely despicable and play him as something a

Eric Andersen and Scarlet Rivera to perform at Kleinert

Under the baton of conductor Jonathan Handman, ringing the old wood of the Woodstock Playhouse, the Woodstock Symphony Orchestra (WSO) has never been afraid of a challenge. On Saturday, January 11, the WSO presents a rich and ambitious concert titled “ Woodstock & Beyond.”

The program features Concerto Competition winner cellist Christopher Santos performing Edward Elgar’s famous Cello Concerto, an uncharacteristically somber and grave work by the great British composer, written late in his life (when his late Romantic style had achieved near total obsolescence) and performed and recorded since by literally all the major cellists of history, from Pablo Casals to Jacqueline du Pré, Steven Isserlis and Yo-Yo Ma. Also on the program is Brahms’ Second Symphony, by contrast an uncharacteristically light and short work, composed quickly and easily after the decade-long, anxiety-addled ordeal of his First Symphony. The WSO will also perform the Rip van Winkle, American composer George Chadwick’s most famous work. Tickets cost $25, $20 for seniors and $5 for students.

Bardavon screens Wozzeck from the Met this Saturday

Legendary singer/songwriter Eric Andersen will perform at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild’s Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, accompanied by virtuoso violinist Scarlet Rivera, on Friday, January 17. Once called “a great ballad singer and writer” by Bob Dylan, Andersen’s career has featured more than 30 records, several iconic and widely covered songs and a lifetime of touring. Andersen has also co-written songs with Bob Weir, Townes van Zandt, Rick Danko and Lou Reed.

11. The afternoon will include performances and prayers led by Banda Celeste and Natavi Orion. Banda Celeste is the musical partnership of Gabriel and Mariana Barcellos-Dresdale.

Weaving together guitar, vocals, cello and percussion into their original songs, Celeste endeavors to bring the listener into closer communion with themselves and the Earth. Heal the Amazon will benefit Earth Alliance, an organization established by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and investor and philanthropist Brian Sheth to help address urgent threats to the planet’s life support systems. Earth Alliance has recently announced an initial commitment of $5 million to help protect the Amazon rainforest from the more than 9,000 fires raging across the region. Admission to this event is by freewill donation.

Platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated Brooklyn rapper Fabolous brings his dexterous flow to the Chance in Poughkeepsie on Friday, January 17. Fabolous scored his first Top 40 pop hit, “Can’t Deny It,” right out in 2001, landing himself at the center of the East Coast scene. A streak of five Top Ten albums followed. A Def Jam affiliate since 2007, Fab has not gone gentle into a career duck. He has eased into veteran mode with a couple of proper albums amid several mixtapes. He returned to the Top Ten beside Jadakiss with Friday on Elm Street (2017) and Summertime Shootout 3: Coldest Summer Ever (2019). Ticket prices range from $50 to $80.

The Bardavon continues its live screenings of The Met: Live in HD season with a new production of Alban Berg’s daring and outrageous opera Wozzeck on Saturday, January 11.

One of the few pieces from the second Viennese School composers (Schoenberg, Webern, Berg) to gain purchase in popular culture, Berg’s 20th-century shocker stars baritone Peter Mattei in the title role, with music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium and soprano Elza van den Heever as the long-suffering Marie. Groundbreaking visual artist and director William Kentridge unveils a bold new staging set, fittingly in an apocalyptic wasteland – much like the one that the postWorld War I European composers inhabited. Tickets cost $28 general admission, $26 for Bardavon members and $21 for children aged 12 and under.

Co-directed by Springsteen and Thom Zimny, Western Stars visually dramatizes the album, which Rolling Stone called a “collection of songs about road warriors and B-movie actors, beat-up stuntmen and places where truckers and bikers drink together.” The centerpiece of the film is a 14-song concert by Springsteen, wife Patti Scialfa and other musicians – including a 30-piece orchestra – performing on the top floor of the barn on Springsteen’s New Jersey horse farm.

Zeus Brewing Company is owned by Glenn Phillips and his daughter-in-law Bethany (above), who worked with his son Jeremy to get the two Schatzi’s restaurants, in Poughkeepsie and New Paltz, off the ground. The fact that the site is diagonally opposite the Cunneen-Hackett Building, once the mansion of brewing magnate Matthew Vassar, is purely coincidental.

Brew with a view Zeus Brewing Company opens in Poughkeepsie with fresh beer and Italian fare; Rooftop bar coming this summer

A

s this issue goes to press, a new eating and drinking establishment is opening its doors in downtown Poughkeepsie, just a few blocks’ walk from Waryas Park and the Metro North station in one direction and the Bardavon and the Civic Center in the other. The brainchild of some familiar New Paltz faces, the Zeus Brewing Company brings fresh beer and nouveau-rustic Italian fare crafted on-premises to a stunning space in the Queen City Lofts, a newly constructed mixed-use building at 178 Main Street.

The fact that the site is diagonally opposite the Cunneen-Hackett Building, once the mansion of brewing magnate Matthew Vassar, is purely coincidental, says coowner Glenn Phillips. A retired pilot who lives in New Paltz, Phillips is well-known in the community for his civic involvement, including stints on the board of the Youth Center and the Local Emergency Planning Committee; in recent years, he has been organizing mission trips to Uganda for the Reformed Church. But he wanted a business venture to keep him occupied as well, so he brainstormed with his daughterin-law Bethany, who worked with his son Jeremy to get the two Schatzi’s restaurants, in Poughkeepsie and New Paltz, off the ground.

When the developer of Queen City Lofts offered the Phillipses first dibs on three highceilinged commercial spaces on the building’s ground floor, they jumped at the chance. The clincher to the deal was exclusive elevator access for Zeus customers to a penthouse with Hudson River views that span from

the Hudson Highlands to the Catskills.

Construction begins soon on a rooftop bar, scheduled to open by May. “The sunsets are going to be awesome up here,� says Glenn. “Poughkeepsie is such an up-and-coming city. We knew we wanted to create a brewpub in the city, and we figured this was the time to do this,� notes Bethany, a Modena native who has spent much of her life working in restaurants. Most recently she has been dividing her time between a sales job and parenting her and Jeremy’s two-year-old son Grayson, who inspired the new brewpub’s name. “We didn’t want to share his name before he was born,� Bethany explains. So, just for fun, the couple began to speak of their expected offspring as Baby Zeus. “He weighed ten pounds and was 22 inches long, so he really came out like a Baby Zeus,� she laughs.

Any allusions to classical Greek myths in the design of the space don’t go much further than the typeface used in the signage. The business’ logo in an upper-case Z enclosed in a lightning bolt. You’ll see that motif

replicated on the 20 taps behind the 25-footlong faux-marble bar, which seats up to 16, in the main dining room. Bethany describes the dĂŠcor, by Mill Road Design, as having “a chic industrial feel. That’s what I wanted.â€?

Directly across from the bar is a patio for al fresco dining, set off by a half-wall from the Main Street sidewalk. Six steps up lead to a private dining area and access to the kitchen, restrooms and elevator to the rooftop.

At the eastern end of the long space stands a gleaming row of stainless steel tanks where the brewing actually happens.

Masterminding the process is head brewer Amit Ram, who began learning his trade at Negev Brewing in Israel. He returned to the US in 2012 for an internship at the Cape Ann Brewing Company in Gloucester,

Massachusetts, where he met his wife, a Poughkeepsie native. Moving with her to the Hudson Valley, he worked for a couple of years at Newburgh Brewing and most recently was head brewer at the Peekskill Brewery. “Our goal is to make world-class fresh beer and serve it in an awesome environment,� Ram says.

A brewpub, he notes, is a “traditional access point to craft beer. So we have to offer a range of products.� Newbies who

need to be weaned off mass-produced American beer brands might be enticed by his accessible Zeus Lager or Queen City Pils.

For IPA fanciers, Dragon Light Hazy Pale Ale spotlights assertive Motueka hops from New Zealand, and Zeus IPA is a citrusy New England style that should please fans of Sloop Brewing’s popular Juice Bomb. Another current offering is Urban Oasis Fruited Sour Ale, redolent of raspberry and tart cherry.

After testing a flight, this correspondent’s clear favorite was the coffee-flavored Room for Milk Stout, reminiscent of Keegan Ales’ heavyweight standby Mother’s Milk.

Kegs of the abovementioned products – all of them unfiltered, incidentally – have already been in distribution to bars and restaurants throughout the mid-Hudson and Capital District for about a month now, says Glenn.

Zeus has acquired a “crowler” machine to package its brews in 32-ounce recyclable containers as well. According to Ram, the beer selection will expand over time and vary with the season and with demand. “We aim to have nimble flexibility,” he says. Glenn adds that a few of the taps will be devoted to other local microbrews and at least one cider. Presiding over the bar is Rob Von Bergen, longtime bar manager at Schatzi’s in Poughkeepsie; he’ll be co-managing the entire operation with Paige Carson, recruited from Mill House Brewing.

And then there’s the food, produced under the supervision of CIA-trained executive chef Joe Kirtland, who has been cooking for both Schatzi’s operations over the past three years. Kirtland credits a breadbaking apprenticeship in New Hampshire, where he had to learn to cope with the vagaries of temperature of a woodfired stone oven in a barn, with his expertise in pizzamaking. The kitchen at Zeus is equipped with a gas-fired ceramic pizza oven where gourmet pies can be flash-cooked at 750 degrees.

These are not your average pizzeria pizzas; they’re individual servings, topped with creative combinations of ingredients that might include shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, Calabrian chili rings, pistachios, fried chicken, maple syrup or hot honey.

At present there are eight red and six white versions. Pasta is locally manufactured, served 11 different ways from classic to highly imaginative. A variety of small plates and salads are also available. While the beermaking operation is not a “farm

T

he Smithsonian Institution is a remarkable national resource and a must-see destination for visitors to Washington, DC. But not everyone has the means to go there, so the Smithsonian launched a program called Museums on Main Street to bring small-scale exhibitions to venues in small-town America. One of the current traveling exhibits is coming soon to a little museum near you, and sticking around for six weeks. It’s titled “Water/Ways,” and appropriately enough, it’ll be hosted by the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM), located on Kingston’s Rondout waterfront.

“Water/Ways” explores the ways in which water affects our everyday lives. It’s an essential component of life on our planet, environmentally, culturally and historically. In societies across the globe, water serves as a source of peace and contemplation. Many faiths revere water as a sacred symbol. Authors and artists are inspired by the complex character of water – a substance that is seemingly soft and graceful, yet a powerful and nearly unstoppable force.

Water also plays a practical role in American society. Its availability affected settlement and migration patterns. Access to water and control of water resources have long been a central part of political and economic planning. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.

The voyage begins with an Opening Reception in the museum’s East Gallery, featuring wine and light refreshments and a special exhibit preview, from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 11. Tickets are free for museum members and cost $10 general admission.

Later in the month, HRMM will host a lecture by Daniel Rinn, “What Is a Waterway Anyway?” from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 18; a Volunteer Open House from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 20; and a Museum Mates painting workshop for kids, “Thomas Cole & the Hudson River School,” from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, January 26.

February will feature a guided Ashokan Reservoir Trail Hike from noon to 1 p.m. on Sunday, February 9, followed by a concert from 3 to 5 p.m. back at the museum with Jay Ungar & Molly Mason and Betty & the Baby Boomers.

There will be a Miniature Boat-Building workshop on the 16th, a presentation titled “A Presidential History of Water” on the 17th and a lecture by Raymond Frizwell, “Idylls of the Imagination: American Landscape Painting and the Shape of Memory,” on the 22nd of February.

“Water/Ways” will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week from January 11 though February 23. Museum admission costs $10 for adults, $7 for seniors (62+), $5 for children (5 to 18), $25 for a family; children aged 4 and under, HRMM members and active-duty military and their families get in free.

Do you get nostalgic for the days of Chiller Theatre, when every Saturday night meant a chance to squirm with terror or laugh in derision as you watched a cheesy horror flick on TV? Or was that before your time, but you still enjoy these relics from the days when movie budgets were low while imaginations ran high, with a decided inclination toward the creepy?

The Anchor has something special planned for you: Every Sunday night beginning this weekend, January 12, the Midtown Kingston bar will revive its popular “Dive-in with the Doctor” screening series featuring vintage B-grade horror, sci-fi and cult movies. The prints are questionable, the audio tracks are awful and the plots are full of gaping holes, but the folks at the Anchor claim to love them with the ferocity of Nosferatu himself.

Mad scientists! Monsters! Haunted houses! Come on out for a beer, a snack and a fun session of movie-watching. The screenings start at 9 p.m., and admission is free. Check out the Anchor website at http://theanchorkingston.com or the Facebook group at https://bit.ly/36yhfQ9 to find out what’s showing next.

“EVERY PERSON HAS SUCH A BRILLIANCE. For me to help them see this and surprise themselves is very rewarding.

It’s really a moral enterprise, a process of discovery giving form to someone’s experience and relating it to their own culture.”

JOANNE SAVIO

Meredith Rosier

Pinkwater show reflects vision and teaching of Meredith Rosier

“M

arked Differences,” a show of abstract art by 34 artists at the Pinkwater Gallery, located in Uptown Kingston, is a tribute to the vision and teaching of Meredith Rosier, an artist based in Willow whose classes at the Woodstock School of Art (WSA) have spawned a movement. As yet nameless, the body of abstract work that’s blossoming in dozens of area studios mainly utilizes pastel and other dry media – though acrylic, watercolor, gouache and such unconventional materials as dirt, coffee and fireplace ash (which figures in much of Rosier’s own drawings) also contribute to the mix. It is characterized by certain qualities, even as it represents a range of styles: harmonic color; a vibrant energy, which even when it leans towards the contemplative infuses the work with a pulsing quality, like a heartbeat; a transparency of process, conveyed through layering and excavating the surface, a task that involves inventive mark-making; and an acknowledgment of the flat surface and its edges. In many cases that flat medium is paper, a substance that lends itself to a variety of surface effects and which Rosier, who is also an inspired and accomplished writer, describes variously on her Drawing Galaxy website as “an unceremonious vault of uncertainties… to which I headlong add logic and error” and “a great vacant estate…where I trawl for strategies.”

The result is a vigorous lyricism rich with emotion and sensation, predicated

on experimentation and a commitment to the power of the imagination as a portal to the unique and expressive power of the self. In the exhibition statement, Rosier’s role is described as “revealing to the artist what one may have concealed even from oneself.”

The Drawing Galaxy, which Rosier launched in 2009, is a collective of 35 artists, most of whom are located in the Hudson Valley. The website showcases the work of each, along with upcoming events and exhibitions and a description by Rosier of an underlying “interdisciplinary methodology” in which science, literature, photography, pop culture and craft are interwoven with a technique of abstract drawing rooted in the automatism of the Surrealists. Many of these artists are featured in “Marked Differences,” along with a few of Rosier’s WSA students (she prefers to call them “explorers”).

All of the works evolved from blind drawings, according to Rosier, who gave this reporter a tour of the exhibition prior to its opening. (Also on hand was gallery owner Anne Sanger, who opened the capacious, brightly lit storefront space last September; an artist herself, Sanger is also a student of Rosier’s.) For example, the genesis of Susan Piperato’s stunning large pastel So on and So Forth was an instruction by Rosier to her students to close their eyes and draw forms resembling stringbeans from the top to the bottom of the paper, followed by the addition of smaller shapes and then some dotted lines.

Piperato joined two sheets of 22-by-30inch paper together in a vertical format to accommodate the long, skinny forms, which are both flat and volumetric, leaflike and pouchlike. The forms’ vivid palette of muted blues, purples, orange, greens and yellows, interspersed with white, which

breaks up the mass, stands out from the ground of black and midnight blue, recalling the dramatic lighting of Dutch still lifes. There’s a sense of mystery about the dangling forms, as if they were a strange fruit, filled not with matter but with light.

Such instructions are designed to “give people a feeling for the material,” Rosier said. “They start with a composition and mature it.” She often plays music, making her own eclectic mixes of classical, world, hip hop, jazz – you name it – and begins a class by reviewing specific images from her extensive collection of art books. Regarding color, she might prompt the class or an individual artist to add “80 percent of a hot color, with the rest cold.”

Mary Lynne Bonforte’s small gouacheand-collage diptych, Tidal Wave, is a study in brilliant pink, which developed out of Rosier’s instruction to use the same color for each piece but vary the composition.

The juxtaposition of pink with gold and cool, watery blue and the floating, cloudlike shapes suggest an Indian miniature, reinterpreted as a trippy fantasia of an alien sky or planet. Patti Gibbons’ ChaCha similarly plays with an illusionistic space, but in an entirely different manner: Her stacks of funky, curvaceous shapes, suggesting plants, rocks and body parts, reminiscent, with their cartoony dots and masses of color swarming with lines, of Guston and Picasso, swoon against the deep blue ground; their earthy yellows and siennas, complemented by touches of blue/green, suggest a Latin palette, a sizzling salsa. Scott Clugstone’s Audacious Torque, whose conglomeration of shapes sits more on the surface and snakes off the edge, juxtaposes irregular areas of blue, red, purple and dark gray with larger precincts of white, ranging from cream to pale gray, thickly applied; the pleasing, unusual effect is a surface texture that resembles a mosaic of opaque glass.

In a similar energetic mode, though

8 more refined in the Gorkylike grace of its twisting arabesques, is Susanna Kearney’s Wild Series #6, in pastel, ink, colored pencil and acrylic. Writhing lines and shapes in dark orange, purple and blue emerge from depths of turquoise and black, while large areas of white – along the top edge, it shines like a flash of light – enable the piece to breathe. The title is apt: Rosier said that she told Kearney, who has a graphic design background and was “feeling things were constricted,” to “get wilder,” resulting in the series of which this piece is a part.

Picking a concept, in some cases reduced to a single word or phrase, and then creating a series of works around that theme is another of Rosier’s strategies.

Doris Goldberg’s piece Hidden, in which thin veils of gray and dull-green paint semi-obscure a composition containing a red circle, blue grid and yellow squiggly form – inspired by a painting of children’s toys in the grass and chalk drawings washed away in the rain, according to a statement by the artist – is another example of this.

In stark contrast to the intense coloration and energetic, organic forms of these artists’ works are Michael Hopkins’ three small collages of faded, ripped paper and printed book pages, which express an understated lyricism: Washes of blue ink and accents of crisp black-and-white shapes suggest a rectilinear geometry, whose asymmetrical divisions and broken, tilted edges are both classically Modernist and airily spacious. John Kleinhans’ Ironbound, one of several works in blackand-white, is a rigorous conception of a metal frame within a frame, radiating lines and arcs, and a slinky, kitelike form or void, that utilizes rubbings, china marker and watercolor pencil to suggest both a machine and its motion. The speckled texture of the piece gives it the softness and patina of a lithograph, as if the drawing itself were the product of some mechanical process.

Two other standouts in this magnificent show are Jennifer Leighton’s 40-by-21inch piece Without Apology, in which the interstices of a beautifully drawn composition of curved lines are tinted in a complex schema of yellows, reds, browns, greens and blues. The contrast of atmospheric color, enhanced in areas by stenciled dots, black lines and small, tightly compacted black shapes, clearly references Miró, while the rich interplay of color and swooping lines suggests Kandinsky’s symphonic, early nonobjective compositions. Frank D’Astolfo’s pastel, conte and Cray-Pas Untitled both layers and flattens space: The pileup of yellow and sienna-colored amorphous shapes, fissured with white lines and topped by a gray/brown peak silhouetted against a muted lemon-yellow sky as if they were the geologic cross-section of a mountain, is both compressed and expansive, inert and in motion, unified and fragmented into pieces.

Prior to and during the tour of the exhibition, Rosier answered reporter Lynn Woods’ questions about her art and teaching: Your work and teaching are based on abstraction –specifically, abstract drawing. What is the appeal of this?

Abstraction allows for invention, discovery and the evolution of new imagery that comes from an intangible interior dimension. There are no rules in abstraction, and that allows for an embrace of contradictory elements. The process is a mystery/poetical one rather than a logical one, and the unearthing is exhilarating.

I work mainly with dry materials, such as pastel, which is like working in a granular garden: The pastel can be very rough and crumbly, and also very velvety and smooth. As you layer it, it becomes like fur. It has an enormous capacity to have what I call a heartbeat, in the sense it feels alive when you look at it. The color has a vibrancy and coursing of life in it. I don’t start with a preconceived idea; the

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Jan. 9, 2020 Galaxy website?

Many artists need a place where their work could be shown online and in galleries, so I felt this was something that could be beneficial and valuable. Each artist has three images and a 100-word bio and a 100-word statement and pays $100 a year. Abstraction and a high degree of experimentation are the prerequisites, so they are continuing to evolve. It’s not a place to land, but to keep going. I’ve curated many shows, mostly in the area.

Words seem important to your work: Many of your drawings, for example, have a title consisting of a descriptive verb, such as “juggle,” “sidle” and “flounce.”

I write short articles and fiction. My heart quickens when I’m writing; it’s a physical sensation, the same way my heart quickens when I’m drawing. The transmission between the way I feel about words and putting them together in a sentence is similar to putting together shapes, color and line.

Often in my classes I give weekly homework. The homework might ask the artist to transmit three words into abstract drawings. Words have a posture, and transmitting this into line and color and shape is a fascination I’ve had my entire life.

“Marking Differences” features 34 voices, and all of them produce powerful work.

drawing just evolves. It’s a collaboration between myself, the material and whatever happens.

How does this approach translate into your teaching?

It becomes a collaboration between myself, the student and the work. It’s a catalytic process that creates its own energy. I can offer them ways to construct their own uniqueness through materials, tools and books I bring to class. Many times I will start someone who has not worked abstractly with a blind drawing.

I might say, “Everyone please pick up two pencils in one hand and put down 12 small shapes, each different and each with a different line.” Then I would ask them to pick up their stump and put in three gigantic shapes with the dotted line. I walk around with a bottle of ground graphite, and everyone mashes their stump into the graphite so that the stump is covered with powder. When used in a drawing, it gives a soft smoky appearance rather than the sharp line of a graphite pencil.

I go through several different iterations, and then they open their eyes. Although everyone has done precisely what I said to do, each drawing is completely different.

From there I will give an assignment.

I might say, “I want you to work this drawing towards its maturity working with shallow space, deep space and middle space.” I will show them examples in books and teach them how to approach space.

Each person is independent and has an inventive thinking process. I see them surprise themselves with the depth of their own brilliance.

This approach has earned you a loyal following.

I’ve seen some artists every Tuesday or Thursday for 11 years. I also have private students, from New York City to Albany.

Some are working on exhibitions, some want a critique and some want to learn about new materials.

What are some unusual tools you suggest to your students?

Many kitchen tools are handy. For example, with a meat tenderizer you can pound paper on one side, and when you turn it over the surface is embossed.

Sometimes I’ll have a class only on ripping, scraping and scratching, where excavation is primary. Also, toothpicks are good. I ask people to go to their basements and their toolshed to make what I call an Adventure Kit, which might include a metal wire brush and woodcarving implements.

We work on various substrates, such as cardboard and cloth, which create a different avenue for drawing.

Where did you go to art school?

I had a full scholarship to Yale University, where I studied drawing. Then I received a full scholarship for my MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which also offered me a housing stipend. It was there I had the fortune of meeting my mentor, Irving Petlin, who died last year. He took me into his family, which was a very joyous experience. I met my husband, Frank D’Astolfo, in New York City. We were married in 1997 in Central Park. He’s also an artist and was head of the Graphic Design program at Rutgers in Newark for 34 years. We bought our home here in Willow in 1999, where we share a studio.

You seem to work from a wide span of references. What else besides your art education contributed to this?

I’ve had mentors and participated in many residencies, including a year in Morocco at the Tangier American Legation Museum.

Tangier is on the sea, so I started looking at the sea a lot and saw light in a different capacity. I was able to reach a depth of field in my tonalism I hadn’t had before – to feel light in a different way. I’ve also had residencies in France, Britain and the Vermont Studio School. Although I don’t draw from the landscape, I’m drawing from light or relative darkness in my internal landscapes.

What motivated you to start the Drawing

Every person has such a brilliance. For me to help them see this and surprise themselves is very rewarding. It’s really a moral enterprise, a process of discovery giving form to someone’s experience and relating it to their own culture. Incongruity, opposition and juxtaposition are contained in each of us, so the idea of imperfection and oddness is to be embraced. I’m offering someone a new look at themselves.

David Pietrusza talk on centenary of Prohibition at FDR site On the 100th anniversary of the first day of Prohibition, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will present “Prohibition’s Rise and Fall: A Look Back at the 18th Amendment,” a conversation with David Pietrusza on Friday, January 17. The 18th Amendment (which went into effect on January 17, 1920) banned the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Meant to end the curse of alcoholism, it had led instead to lawlessness and helped foster organized crime.

David Pietrusza’s books include 1920: The Year of Six Presidents; 1932: The Rise of Hitler and FDR – Two Tales of Politics, Betrayal and Unlikely Destiny; and TR’s Last War: Theodore Roosevelt, the Great War and a Journey of Triumph and Tragedy. He has appeared on Morning Joe, the Voice of America, the History Channel, the American Heroes Channel, ESPN, NPR and CSPAN. He has spoken at the Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Harry S. Truman presidential libraries and museums, the U. S. Grant Cottage State Historic Site, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and various universities, museums, libraries and festivals. He lives in upstate New York. This is a free public event, but registration is required.

NIGHT SKY

Bummer on a cosmic scale

M

y theory – the kind that produces Nobel Prizes – is that the current election tumult conveys key astronomy information.

Don’t scoff. A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger and other quantum theory originators drew conclusions about reality based on how we conscious observers interacted with photons. So, it’s a simple null hypothesis: Unpleasant political ads reflect the current underlying cosmic vacuum field, which apparently has a negative polarity. Putting this in non-technical language, the universe is on a bummer.

And if so, we should design spacecraft and experiments accordingly, for our own good.

NASA won’t face this issue realistically. For decades, the space agency has romanticized space travel and, in keeping with sci-fi storylines, depicts us merrily breezing through space à la Star Trek. There has been no voice, none at all, saying, “Whoa, wait a minute – it’s cold out there! And you can’t breathe! And it takes millennia to get from one star to the next. Are you nuts? I’m staying put!”

Well, maybe that’s just me. In truth, they’ve actually found people who say, “Go ahead, shoot me anywhere. A vacuum? No problem! Oxygen is overrated. Four years to get to Jupiter’s moons? No problem; I’d love to hang out in those radiation belts. Shielding my spacecraft with the right material can’t be much harder than insulating a Saugerties farmhouse. Just don’t give my rocket a dangerous name, like Challenger. Whom or what did they think we were challenging up there? And how could we possibly win that challenge if our adversary is the Universe? No, let’s name my spacecraft Please Don’t Hurt Me.” And what about letting astronauts choose their companion? I say, make that a top priority. Imagine being locked in a tiny space with someone who plans to vote for YouKnow-Who! Anyway, to appraise risk realistically, we should indeed ascertain whether the universe is on a bummer. Recent scientific findings are not hopeful. Take the principle of “entropy,” which simply means that things are constantly falling apart, going from order to disorder.

Most cosmologists go even further and say that the universe’s inevitable future is to fly apart until the last gasp of life-sustaining heat dissipates and no new stars or galaxies ever form. It’s hardly amusing.

Earth displays clear signs that the rules of nature are not always supportive. Item: human behavior. Observation: People go to work wearing uncomfortably tight neckties or high heels, then rush home to switch on the evening news, where the most spectacular

DONNIE RAY JONES

bummers of the day are displayed in succession. This can’t be mere coincidence.

Remember school? Could you take a day off on a beautiful spring morning to go hiking? No way. Your mom had to write a letter: “Michael can’t come in because his throat hurts and he feels terrible. See attached doctor’s note.” The school’s position was: “You’re excused from our bummer only if you can prove you have your own.”

Someone should seriously see if these laws apply to the whole universe. Would stars deliberately explode as astronauts approached, just to bum them out? We all know about tragic space outcomes. But send six engraved plaques to the Moon with Richard Nixon’s signature on each, as we did half a century ago, and all the missions succeed.

The name “Richard Nixon” will survive for a billion years on the Moon’s erosionless surface. It’s the only recurring name that will outlive the last actual human. Can that be an accident?

Let’s do a little experiment and see, here and now, whether this hypothesis holds water.

You’ve been reading about bummers for the past few minutes. You either started out feeling grouchy or great, but according to this fabulous theory it doesn’t matter, for at this very moment, you must be bummed out.

Given the connectedness of physical laws throughout the cosmos, your current bummerness reveals an underlying property of the cosmos. I should book the Oslo flight now.
