| MAIN HALL / JANUARY |
Emily (Osman) Passman: Recent Oils and Acrylics
January 3 - 30
|
|
York, Maine |
As a child, Passman would occasionally squint slightly to purposefully blur the images of objects around her, filling her vision with shapes and colors alone. “I knew I could never be bored as long as I could see,” she says.
She’s still doing that, now, painting literally with a broad brushstroke all she sees before her: landscapes, interiors, urban or seascapes, still lifes. Although the scenes are easily recognizable, shape, light/shadow and color are stressed, giving the works a jaunty abstract feel. These color-filled canvases with juxtaposed forms (house, fence, stones, yard) and complimentary hues have a joyful, fresh appeal. Her spontaneous approach of loosely and quickly sketching in charcoal, mostly on site, gives them a sense of immediacy and vibrancy, carried through to the finished painting.
Passman is a member of Depot Square Gallery in Lexington and Concord Art Association with which she has exhibited regularly. She teaches painting and drawing at the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society where she also exhibits as a member. Other exhibits include the Massachusetts State House, Lexington Cary Memorial Library, Martha’s Vineyard Arts Association Group Show and many others. Now a resident of Lexington, she was raised in Newton.

| GALLERY / JANUARY |
Andrew Kessler: Life in Chaos
January 3 - 30
Reception: Thursday, January 4, 7:00PM
|
|
|
When the daughter of this photographer’s friend was diagnosed with leukemia, the family mobilized to do something beyond nurturing and supporting the child through treatment, something to help the cause of cancer and to burn off excess energy and frustration. They settled on the Pan Mass Challenge, a 192 mile fundraising bike ride for cancer research.
Kessler, a consummate photographer specializing in images of children, was moved to help and also to record the effort. Life for his friends, he says, had become “utter chaos” and to rightly “capture a slice of this life - the intensity, confusion, endurance, pain and focus” he chose a camera with the ability to photograph the ride “automatically and at random…using an interval timer.” This was mounted on the back of his bike, clicking away as he rode 2500 miles during the training as well as the ride itself. The bike ride would become his expression of a life thrown into chaos.
The results are exhilarating – the road and green trees rushing by, a blur of red bike, legs steadily pumping, the long shadow of slender tires on gray road. But there are also images of grim determination and shared purpose: the grimace or hunched shoulders of a rider, a line of cyclists emerging from a tunnel and one image that shows the short distance between one bike’s front tire and the next’s rear one – a metaphor for the blind journey we are on in life?
Kessler’s work has been exhibited at the John Hancock Observatory, General Cinema World Headquarters, Wellesley Free Library and several galleries. His work has appeared in books, album covers and a variety of publications. President of Coffee Pond Photography in Newton, he has appeared on ABC News and NPR. Although currently a Wellesley resident, he grew up in Newton.

her much acclaim. She has sung many leading operatic roles and as a soloist has performed in many of the great oratorio and orchestral works by Vivaldi, Handel, de Falla and others. As a recitalist, she has appeared throughout the U.S. and at the Festival Mosaico in Guatemala.

In 2005, he was a semi-finalist at Symphony Hall in the annual Pops Search contest sponsored by the Boston Pops. This past November he also studied with Carlo Bergonzi at the Accademia Verdiana. Landry also enjoys performing Irish folk music with the same passion and innate musical ability he brings to the classical repertoire.
Nicholas has collaborated in recitals in Europe, Central America and throughout the United States, locally at Jordan Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts, as well as with the Borromeo String Quartet and Boston Lyric Opera.

| Family Health Talk Features Linda Weltner |
|
Writer Linda Weltner, daughter Laura Plunkett and granddaughter Jessie Plunkett will speak on Raising Wholesome Children in a Fast-Food World: A Framework for Creating Family Health at the Library on Monday, January 29, at 7:30PM, followed by a question and answer period and booksigning.
Laura Plunkett, co-author of The Challenge of Childhood Diabetes: Family Strategies for Raising a Healthy Child with Weltner, will offer a unique perspective on improving a family’s overall health and well-being. Having helped her family manage and ultimately grow stronger from her son’s diagnosis of juvenile diabetes, she will address the topic of expanding a family’s range of acceptable foods, “selling” a healthy diet to reluctant family members, committing to exercise and creating teamwork and cooperation in the face of adversity.
Weltner, the former Boston Globe “Ever So Humble” columnist, talks about her role in supporting a grandchild with a chronic illness and the importance of creating a network of support for families in our fast-paced culture. |
Jessie Plunkett, 15, will discuss a teen-ager’s reaction to crisis and how it feels to live in a family where food, exercise, communication and teamwork have become so vital.
Weltner is the author of four books: No Place Like Home, Family Puzzles and two collections of her “Ever So Humble” columns. In 2000, she won the Gold Award from National Mature Media.
Originally a therapist for families, couples and individuals for many years, Plunkett's avocation now is researching nutrition and the latest developments in diabetes. She is a member of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

of the USS Pueblo |

38 years ago, the ship, top-secret surveillance equipment and highly classified documents were seized in international waters, and the crew of 83 men was imprisoned and brutally tortured for 11 months before being released. Tishler, an Army Judge Advocate in Korea during 1967-1968, promises a discussion that will bring up disturbing similarities to today's political climate.

| "An Inconvenient Truth" |
|
Mayor David Cohen will introduce a second Library screening of the hit global warming documentary by Al Gore, "An Inconvenient Truth," back by popular demand. The program will take place on Saturday, February 3, at 1:00PM, followed by a discussion led by Brandeis University ecology professor Eric Olson. Sponsored by Green Decade Coalition.
Former Vice President Al Gore presents a compelling look at the state of global warming in this inspirational documentary. Larry King called it, “One of the most important films ever” and Roger Friedman of FoxNews.com wrote, “It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative...your mind will be changed in a nanosecond.”
Olson teaches ecology and environmental impact assessment at the Heller School of Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University. He also serves as Chairman of the Newton Citizens Commission on Energy. Olson’s focus on energy policy and technology stems from his concern that much of the world’s biological wealth will be harmed by too-rapid climate change, especially now that we have relegated so much of wild nature to national park “islands” in a sea of developed land.

|
| "The Story of Gilbert & Sullivan" |
The New England Gilbert & Sullivan Society will present
a repeat screening of the popular bio-pic movie, "The Story of Gilbert & Sullivan," on Sunday, February 4, at 2:00PM. This classic film from 1953 stars Robert Morley, Maurice Evans and Peter Finch. Although it is a romanticized version of the composers' partnership, the performances in the G&S operetta excerpts by members of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company are authentic and superb.
