| GALLERY/ FEBRUARY |
Elizabeth Slayton: Falling Light
February 2 - 27
Reception: Wednesday, February 2, 6 - 8:00PM
|
|
|
Eleven Onions |
“Translucent onion skin, the deep red of red pears, the space between things, light falling on green apples, the exactness of a stem, stillness, the shadow of a lemon, a bruise on pear skin, clarity, aliveness of fruit
- juiciness, scent, color, wetness, sweetness. The painting says itself. There is no intention. The apples or onions show themselves intimately as they are, simply here, now.” – from Elizabeth Slayton’s artist statement
This is Slayton’s art: natural objects – fruit and vegetables - in bare settings in deceptively simple compositions. How does she make five onions in a row or two green pears so compelling? The arrangements and large size of her subjects give them a presence – a group of onions seems to stare the viewer down; a pile of apples huddles on the counter, stems pointing every which way.
Although earlier work was more ethereal or obscure, this new work has “more definition and more vibrancy,” the artist says. “There is a sense of immediacy, intimacy and participation.” Her focus is absolute – this pear is not representative of fruit – this particular pear is important, is alive here with its soft curves and flesh, naked under Slayton’s steady gaze.
The artist is represented by Judi otenberg Gallery and North End Gallery. She has exhibited at, among others, the Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme, CT, MPG Gallery in Boston, Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge and the Annual Plymouth Juried Art Show as well as in Tokyo and London. Her paintings are included in private and corporate collections throughout the country and abroad.

Julia Max: The Forgotten Forest:
A Collection of Works on the Ancient Energy of Trees
February 2 - 27
Reception: Thursday, February 3, 7:00PM
|
Trees |
|
“Trees hold their living energy in a specially vivid and visual image of design,” writes Nathaniel Altman in The Spirituality of Trees, something this photographer attempts to capture in her reverential images. She tells us that the ancient Mayans believed trees mediated between heaven and earth and that many cultures have thought of trees as a source of life, knowledge, order and healing. Max herself feels a “physical connection to the ancient and divine power held in trees.”
Her use of a box and a pinhole camera lends a mystery to beech, pine and other trees, photographed mostly in the Arnold Arboretum, although the place is not recognizable, transformed by her singular, pinpoint view. Her tools: the wooden box camera with its fixed lens and shallow depth of field or simple pinhole camera and Fuji color paper as a negative, produce a soft, impressionistic feel with rich colors.
Surrounded by total darkness, the central image seems to be cast in moonlight, long shadows snaking across the grass. In one photograph, a tree emerges on a hill in a greenish light, reaching for the sky; other trees have a ghostly presence: windblown branches raining down like fine, wild hair with blue sky visible beyond - is this day or night? Each photo contributes to Max's vision of trees as sacred – whether as a back-lit figure on a hill against the setting sun or with branches like the arms of a candelabra, cupping a central image of pure light.
Max is a recent graduate of the Art Institute of Boston (AIB), where her senior thesis centered on the animating energy present in all things. Currently working at the Boston Photo Collaborative, she has exhibited at the Arnold Arboretum and through the AIB.
Carter has exhibited with the Cambridge Art Association, at the Attleboro Museum and with Women’s Caucus for Art at the International Center in Boston and Brickbottom Gallery in Somerville. She has also shown work in Texas, Virginia, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Duo Kaya, Violin/Cello Duo, Presents “Faces” |
| 
|
Violinist Biliana Voutchkova and cellist Agnieszka Dziubak of Duo Kaya, with guest pianist Sarah Bob, will present a concert on Sunday, February 13, at 2:00PM. Seating is limited.
The concert will celebrate the release of Voutchkova’s new CD, “Faces,” featuring works by 20th century and contemporary composers: Kodaly’s duo for violin and cello, the premiere of a sonata by Bulgarian composer Gheorghi Arnaoudov, Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina’s duo “Rejoice,” a zen-like piece by Candian composer Claude Vivier and an Eastern European raga “Threnody” by Serbian/Boston composer Vuk Kulenovic, who will be in attendance at the concert.
With a strong interest in performing modern and undiscovered music, the duo has recently appeared live on WGBH-radio, planned a concert tour to their native countries of Bulgaria and Poland and will be premiering Kulenovic’s Concerto Grosso for violin, cello and string orchestra in late February at Jordan Hall.
|
Hailed as a musician with an “enormous capacity of outstanding musical talent,” Voutchkova has appeared throughout Asia, Europe and the U.S. in major concert venues and has collaborated with former members of the Julliard and Cleveland quartets. She is also a member of the Radius and Firebird ensembles. She has been assistant concertmaster of Boston Philharmonic and Boston Modern Orchestra Project.
Dziubak has appeared at renowned festivals and concert halls in Europe and North America and received top honors at many international competitions including the Hamburg International Chamber Music Competition and the Artist International Music Association Competition in Toronto.

Celebrate Chinese New Year |
|
 |
The Library will celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Rooster (4703) with a concert of Chinese classical and folk music followed by a program of traditional word games in Chinese and English on the afternoon of Saturday, February 19.
At 1:00PM, musicians Zhi Min Zhao, a master er hu player, and yang qin player Hong Ji, along with some of Zhao’s talented students, will perform classical, folk and instrumental music from the Beijing Opera. Much of Chinese classical music evolved from folk music which dates from as far back as 1500 years ago. The er hu is a 2-stringed long-necked instrument, played with a horse hair bow. The yang qin is a Chinese hammered dulcimer, played with bamboo sticks; it adds percussion to the duo.
|
At 2:15PM, a Deng-Mi Hui activity will be presented, a program of Chinese and English word games composed by Sun-Shine Yuan, a well-known practitioner of the craft. Deng-Mi dates back 1000 years, when riddles were hung from lanterns under a full moon at the Chinese New Year. At the Library, the Deng-Mi will be strung from a height. Audience members may guess the answers out loud; a small prize will be awarded for the correct solution to each puzzle.
Throughout the month of February an exhibit from the collection of Judith Funkhouser will be on view in the display cases on the first floor consisting of images and figures showing the tradition of rice cultivation, panda representations in art, and zodiac animals, focusing on the rooster. Funkhouser is curator of the Ella V. Bowering Collection and is president of the Chinese Culture Connection.

| Concert of Late Romantic French & Russian Music |
|
Pianist Dmitri Shteinberg will present “The End of Romanticism,” a concert/lecture at the Library on Sun-day, February 20, at 2:00PM.

His soloist engagements include the Jerusalem Symphony, The Italian Philarmonica Marchetiana, Israel Chamber Orchestra and Porto National Symphony.

He recorded for the Israeli “Voice of Music” radio station, WQXR, WHMT, Bavarian Radio and the Yamaha Disklavier. A prizewinner in 20 competitions worldwide, including the first prize in “Citta de Senigallia” International Compettiion in Italy, he has won many awards in the U.S., as well. |

|
| Concert of Mozart Arias |
|
Soprano Marsha Johnson and pianist Herman Weiss will present a concert of arias and excerpts from Mozart’s operas on Sunday, February 27, at 2:00PM at the Library. Music from “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Don Giovanni” and “The Magic Flute” will be performed with commentary. Seating is limited.
Mozart entered Vienna at a time of social and political change in the late 1700’s. No body of work reflects the effect of those changes more than his operas. He was perhaps the first great musician to move with ease between the aristocracy and bourgeoisie and his works contain themes of class interaction and reconciliation set against a backdrop of love, betrayal and moral courage. Although known primarily as a composer of instrumental music until this point in his career, Mozart found a voice that was both personal and universal in his operas.
Johnson has appeared locally and internationally in opera, recital and contemporary music performance. From “The Magic Flute” (Queen of the Night) to Bernstein’s “Trouble in Tahiti,” the scope of her talent also encompasses performances with the Bach Aria Group and Composers in Red Sneakers. Johnson is also a Board Certified Music Therapist.
|
Weiss has performed internationally as pianist, composer and conductor. In collaboration with Johnson, he ounded the Janus 21 Ensemble. His works have been commissioned and performed by the Cambridge Chamber Players, Leon Fleischer, Longy Chorus and Orchestra, Boston String Quartet and others. He has served as conductor and coach for various opera companies and was Chair of Composition at the Longy School of Music for many years.

Black History Month Presentation of Slave Stories and Music by Irene Smalls
|
|
In honor of Black History Month, author/storyteller Irene Smalls will weave African-American history and song together in a dynamic performance on Sunday, February 6, at 2:00PM at the Library. Seating is limited.
Based on authentic slave narratives, Smalls will bring four stories to life, incorporating music and audience participation: a passionate account of African resistance to slavery in Ebony Sea, the African Masada of 1803; a gripping tale of temptation on Halloween when wild man Jack Muh Lantern terrorized children; a corn-shucking party celebrating the harvest during slave times and a re-enactment of the first black holiday in the U.S., the Johnkankus, a colorful, whirling West African masquerade which was celebrated on Christmas in the South starting more than 200 years ago.
|
Smalls is a former Miss Black New York State and was director of public information for Mayor Raymond Flynn. Since, she has written 15 children’s books and three interactive storytelling CDs, many of which focus on African-American holidays. She performs and lectures at schools, libraries, museums and conferences.

A Glimpse of Paradise: One Writer's Process |
|
Although it is assumed that fiction writers work their stories out in their heads before committing to paper, many writers - perhaps most - don’t work that way. Come hear award-winning fiction writer Joan Leegant discuss the surprising ways she brings her stories and ideas onto the page. “A Glimpse of Paradise: One Writer’s Process” will be held at the Library on Wednesday, February 16, 7:30PM. Based on examples from her short story collection, An Hour in Paradise, Leegant’s talk will incorporate a question and answer session, followed by a booksigning.
Taking its title from the Yiddish proverb “Even an hour in paradise in worthwhile,” Leegant’s vibrant debut features ten original prize-winning stories. Contemporary and fresh, the tales mine the Jewish tradition with an edge. Provocative and off-beat, in settings from Jerusalem to Queens, this collection presents characters who soldier on, despite the odds, in search |
| of divine and human connection, if only for one idyllic hour. A former drug dealer turned yeshiva student faces his past while visiting a dying AIDS patient. Three sisters - one a Hindu, one an Orthodox Jew and one a struggling actress find unexpected happiness with the help of an unseen, loving hand. Interspersed with these are poignant tales of love lost and found.
An Hour in Paradise won the 2004 Winship/PEN New England Book Award, the 2004 Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish Fiction and was a Finalist for the 2004 National Jewish Book Award. The author lives in Newton and teaches writing at Harvard University. |

Global Petro-Politics Talk |
|
Professor Michael Klare will speak on "Global Petro-Politics: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Pursuit of Other Countries’ Petroleum" at the next Green Decade Coalition talk on Monday, February 28, 7:00PM at the Library.
Klare is the Five College Professor of Peace and World Security Studies, a joint appointment at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges and the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. He is the author of several books, including Rogue States and Nuclear Outlaws, Resource Wars and his most recent Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America’s Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum.
“Oil, says Michael Klare, makes us strong, but dependency makes us weak. His clear, informed, and troubling diagnosis of America’s greatest addiction comes as oil’s rising cost in blood and treasure requires us to understand the greater perils to come. Blood and Oil proves that oil’s
substitutes -- and especially their efficient use - -are an even greater
bargain than they look.”

"A Bad Woman Feeling Good"
Author Talk |
|
It was Ma Rainey's piano player, Tommy Dorsey, who said, "The blues is a good woman feeling bad." But Dorsey got it backwards, as evidenced in Buzzy Jackson's sharp new book, A Bad Woman Feeling Good: Blues and the Women who Sing Them.
In honor of Women's History Month, the Library will host an author talk by Jackson illustrated with recordings by female blues singers on Tuesday, March 1, 7:30PM, followed by a booksigning.
The blues was a medium for deep truth-telling about what it meant to be a woman as well as an African-American. It was a vehicle for positive social change, the author contends, inspiring and empowering women for decades.
Starting with trailblazers like Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and the immortal Bessie Smith, Jackson explores their work and phenomenal success in the early days of recording. In fact, the success of the early blues women was crucial to the survival of many early recording companies. These strong, sexy, aggressive and spirited women laid the groundwork for those that came next: Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Janis Joplin. |
| They injected a dose of reality into the often trivial world of popular song, bringing their message of higher expectations and broader horizons to their audiences. These women passed their image, their rhythms and their toughness on to the next generation of blues women, which has its contemporary incarnation in singers like Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams.
Jackson received her Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley. A Bad Woman Feeling Good was originally conceived as her doctoral dissertation. She lives in Boulder, Colorado. |
