Doors open at 6:00 pm\, Boyd will begin at 6:30. Books will be available for purchase/signing. \nThe founder of creative protest measures including the Climate Clock and Climate Ribbon\, Boyd says humanity is on a “path of profound grief” and to cope with this “impossible new reality” people will need the wisdom\, rituals\, and stories that literature and spiritual teachers offer. So his book does just that\, featuring eight leading climate thinkers — from collapse-psychologist Jamey Hecht to grassroots strategist adrienne maree brown\, eco-philosopher Joanna Macy\, and Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer — asking them: “Is it really the end of the world? And if so\, now what?” \nFirst reviews of the book are terrific: “Exactly the kind of paradoxical truth-telling we need now more than ever!” writes Frances Moore Lappe\, author\, Diet for a Small Planet. “Stunning. Marks the emergence of a new and genuinely exciting kind of realism\,” says Brian Eno\, musician & environmentalist. Bill McKibben says Boyd’s book: “Proves it’s never too late for a good laugh\, a good cry\, and a good call to action!” \nThis event is free but donations are appreciated and pre-registration for this live event at Eventbrite is advised. \nThe series\, all at 118 Elliot\, will continue Thursday April 20 with Jon Erickson’s The Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics (Island Press\, December 2022) and Thursday May 11 with Chuck Collin’s debut novel Altar to an Erupting Sun (Green Writers Press\, publication in May 2023)\, a near-future story of people in the Brattleboro area facing climate disruption in the critical decade ahead getting terrific advance reviews. \nSEE BOOK SITE: bettercatastrophe.com \n  \n  URL:https://118elliot.com/event/i-want-a-better-catastrophe-2/ LOCATION:118 Elliot CATEGORIES:Lecture / Talk,Literary ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/better_catastrophe.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T200000 DTSTAMP:20260425T053038 CREATED:20180617T232816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240329T223406Z UID:390-1677605400-1677614400@118elliot.com SUMMARY:Tango Tuesdays DESCRIPTION:Delicious tango right here in Brattleboro since 2000\, with friendly classes\, practicas\, milongas\, and special events.

Throughout his working life\, Olmsted and his firm carried out over 500 commissions\, nearly 100 of which were public parks. The parks\, he held\, were to be vital democratic spaces in cities\, where citizens from all walks of life could intermingle and be refreshed. \nPrior to officially committing to landscape architecture\, Olmsted was a New York Times correspondent to the Confederate states\, the manager of a California gold mine\, and General Secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission during the Civil War. The man\, a workaholic by today’s standards\, plagued with chronic ailments\, spent the latter half of his life devoting nearly every waking minute to creating restorative green spaces for overworked city dwellers. In large part through his own words\, this film weaves together his engaging and poignant personal story with those of the lasting masterpieces he left for us today. \n \nCompleted On Camera Interview Subjects:\nCharles Beveridge – Author\, Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing the American Landscape; series editor\, The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted\, Department of History\, American University\, Washington D.C. \nWitold Rybczynski – Professor of urbanism\, University of Pennsylvania; author\, A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the Nineteenth Century. \nArleyn Levee – Former chairperson\, National Association of Olmsted Parks; board member\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy; Olmsted historian. \nBetsy Shure Gross – Co-founder\, National Association of Olmsted Parks; former vice president\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy; board member\, City Parks Alliance. \nAdrian Benepe – Commissioner\, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. \nDoug Blonsky – President\, Central Park Conservancy; administrator and landscape architect\, Central Park. \nSara Cedar Miller – Official historian and board member\, Central Park Conservancy; author and photographer\, Central Park\, An American Masterpiece and Seeing Central Park: The Official Guide to the World’s Greatest Urban Park. \nTupper Thomas – President\, Prospect Park Alliance; administrator\, Prospect Park. \nMichael Dukakis – Former governor\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Democratic nominee for US President in 1980; professor of political science\, Northeastern University. \nMorrison Heckscher – Lawrence A.

The artist brings a playful energy to work exploring transformation and spiritual passage\, including pieces related to the independent film Redbelly and to the upcoming children’s book\, The Falling Stars of Emerworld. \nAfter living in beloved Vermont for 2 decades\, the artist is soon moving his base of operations to Haiku\, Hawaii and the show represents both a retrospective of this period in New England\, and a conjuration around the upcoming life shift. \nMany of the sculptures are crafted from thin layers of vibrantly tinted plexiglass\, laser cut and assembled into various designs\, many fantastical or hypnotic. The eponymous Portals series utilizes a small number of simple elements to map the passage through various life transformations: Love\, Initiation\, Shadow Extraction… The pieces are puzzled together\, with the same underlying designs explored through myriad palettes of color\, mirrored reflection & transparency. Visual stories are told in multiple ways\, drawing out nuances of the narrative and different poetic associations. In the series Uprising\, ten variations of the same large sculpture chart personal and communal upheaval and ascension. LEDs and mirrors are utilized in several pieces to expressively utilize the illusion of infinite depth. \nAlso on display are pieces from his bouncy ball series\, where 100’s of balls are coaxed into place between sheets of plexiglass\, creating roiling pools of emerging and disintegrating shapes\, suggesting essential forms discovered through a telescope\, microscope\, or x-ray. \n“Much of my work is concerned with how to evoke or visualize subtle phenomena — physical\, conceptual\, emotional\, spiritual — while taking a joyful interest in the qualities of diverse materials and precise engineering.” \nMutsu Crispin / John DiGeorge grew up in a rural suburb of Atlanta\, GA and studied Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. After a stint working in the film industry in New York City he moved to southern Vermont\, splitting his time between artistic ventures and design work for many local businesses and individuals\, including the Brattleboro Museum\, VT Jazz Center\, Brattleboro Hospice\, Boys & Girls Club\, Oak Meadow\, GS Precision\, Clear Solutions\, Altiplano\, Mitchell Giddings Fine Arts\, Superfresh\, Experiential Tools\, Laura Zindel\, David Brewster\, Jared Flynn\, Johnny Swing\, and many others! \nSpecial thanks to John & Lissa at 118 Elliot and to Roger\, Tom and the staff at Clear Solutions in Hinsdale\, New Hampshire where most of the pieces in the show were fabricated.

Escher: Journey to Infinity” Launches Architecture + Design Free Monthly Film Series at 118 Elliot’s Ongoing Collaboration with American Institute of Architects Vermont and Burlington City Arts Features Simultaneous Showings and Virtual Day-Of Option \n14 September 2022\, Brattleboro Vermont:  The Architecture + Design Film Series will kick-off its 10th season of free\, monthly films shown in person simultaneously at 6:30 pm at 118 Elliot in Brattleboro\, 118 Elliot Street\, and at Burlington City Arts’ Contois Auditorium up north\, on September 21\, 2022 with “M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” (2019\, Robin Lutz\, 81 minutes\, Netherlands\, mostly English with some subtitles). Doors open at 6:15 pm. Film showings are free and open to all (masking is optional but appreciated) and are also available for virtual viewing all day through the A+D Film website at: www.adfilmseries.org. \nThe film\, equal parts history\, psychology\, and psychedelia\, is the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Director Robin Lutz’s portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings\, excerpts from lectures\, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry\, while Escher’s woodcuts\, lithographs\, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form. “The public sees the film through the eyes of Escher himself: The camera is Escher\,” Lutz writes.  \n“The film’s plot lines interlock like the labyrinth of an Escher print. And driving it all are those Escher words\, filled with longing\, growing dark (as someone wrote of Bach) with an excess of light\,” Penn\, of Penn & Teller\, wrote in a review. \nThe Architecture + Design Film Series website  https://adfilmseries.org/films/ offers the history of the film series and descriptions and trailers for all eight movies this season. Here’s the lineup so mark your calendars for these Wednesday showings: October 19 – OLMSTED AND AMERICA’S URBAN PARKS; November 16 – THE LAST ARTISANS OF VENICE; December 14 – FREY I: THE ARCHITECTURAL ENVOY;  January 18 – FREY II: THE ARCHITECTURAL INTERPRETER;  February 15 – DAVID HOCKNEY AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS;  March 15 – LOUIS SULLIVAN: THE STRUGGLE FOR AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE;   April 19 – MAU: DESIGN THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE. \nThe films will be introduced by Brattleboro-based architect Jim Williams\, AIA Vermont Chapter board member and architect for 118 Elliot’s 2015 renovation\, who said: “When we decided to expand the film series beyond Burlington four years ago\, we chose 118 Elliot because the wonderful transformation of that dilapidated laundromat into a thriving gallery and community gathering space is a vibrant demonstration of the power of good design to effect positive change.”  \n118 Elliot Director John Loggia said: “We are pleased to present these thoughtfully curated films for free and open to all\, underwritten by 118 and local sponsors as a service to the community to foster understanding and stimulate conversation about the impact of design and beauty in our daily lives.”   \n“M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” (2019\, Robin Lutz\, 81 minutes\, Netherlands\, mostly English with some subtitles) tells the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972) through his own words and images: diary musings\, excerpts from lectures\, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry\, while Escher’s woodcuts\, lithographs\, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form.

Creative Relations is a group show of Brattleboro artists who have invited family members\, also artists\, to hang work alongside their own. The premise of the show explores how family genetics\, relationships and the social and cultural history of the artist informs their work. \nThursday\, June 23 at 5pm these artists will share their views on the influences of relationships in their own work within a panel discussion entitled The Epigenetics of Creativity. We invite the public to think along with these artists about the intergenerational context that their artwork is embedded within. What’s the impact of DNA\, family ties\, environmental factors\, nature/nurture? What evokes the creative urge? How does creativity relate to personal and ancestral trauma. How do certain traits or experiences get ‘passed down’? Is creativity one of them? \n______________________________________________ \nMarkie Sallick\, a painter\, grew up watching her mother\, Lucy Sallick\, create art. She remembers when her mother shared the slogan: “Do Your Own Thing” during the Feminist Movement in NYC. Markie was inspired by seeing her mother make her mark in the world. Markie’s images of bodies are juxtaposed with her mother’s portraits. \nJohn Loggia\, one of the painters\, is including a film his mother made\, with a sound track of music he composed. The film is called “In her own Eyes” which she filmed traveling throughout the world\, in particular China in the 50’s (including images of public group Tai Chi practice) \nFor Phyllis Odessey\, making art is healing. Creativity is a joyful and redemptive transmuting experience. She reported that her father\, a very successful electrical engineer\, when he took up painting found such joy in it that he set aside a room where he and all his children would paint. That is where Phyllis and her sister began their artistic careers. \nSky Gould grew up surrounded by antiques\, which found their way into his light sculptures. He shared: Our lives are metaphors for how we see ourselves in the world. Our agency is our ability to act in the world. For example everything that an individual creates is a function of our agency – personal meaning in the world. An artist translates their sense of agency to share with others. \nTina Olsen\, a painter\, is including work created by her two daughters and grandchildren. She comes from a farming Mennonite background that stretches several generations before her birth. For her the Mennonite concept of being in the world and not of the world is part of what makes her an artist\, helping her bypass the “what do the neighbors think” mentality and find her own path. This sense of personal freedom extended to her daughters being encouraged and comfortable expressing themselves in their own way.

Director Pascal Giacomini and Writer/Producer Carine Fabius will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening. The suggested entry donation is ten dollars but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.In 2018\, Galerie Lakaye produced the 70-minute feature documentary\, Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti\, which has been screened to great acclaim at 34 film festivals worldwide\,  garnering a Best Director Award at the Amsterdam World International Film Festival. Directed by Pascal Giacomini\, and written and produced by Haitian native Carine Fabius\, the powerfully evocative film finds an unexpected art explosion in a Haitian slum\, where Black artists living in extreme poverty create  extraordinary art under impossible circumstances. Many of their works now belong to prominent international museums and private collections. Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti is an unvarnished yet positive look at Haiti’s vibrant culture and indestructible spirit. \nPascal Giacomini and his wife/partner\, Carine Fabius\, own Galerie Lakaye\, a contemporary ethnic art Gallery in Los Angeles with a focus on Haitian art. To chart a course toward meaningful\, effective change in support of the global Black Lives Matter Movement\, Galerie Lakaye has launched a campaign to provide Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti as an educational tool at high school and university levels. Using the film as its focal point\, Galerie Lakaye developed a dynamic  curriculum that facilitates important discussions about diversity and inclusion\, systemic racism\, poverty\, inequity\, sustainable art creation\, and the Black experience. Galerie Lakaye hopes viewers will be moved by the documentary and inspired to support the educational use of this outstanding film\, which has already been screened at Duke University\, Cal State Northridge\, University of Virginia\, and many others across the U.S. \nFor more information about the gallery or the film\, Out of Chaos\, an Artist’s Journey in Haiti\, please contact Galerie Lakaye director Carine Fabius at galerie@galerielakaye.com or 323-460- 7333.
