Shot I took at the Electric Windows event that Open Space Gallery put on in Beacon a few weeks back. Not sure who the artists is.

New York documentarian Richard Sandler will be screening two of his films, Brave New York and Sway, at the 6B Garden on August 22.Brave New York is a free form documentary that loosely chronicles the last 12 years of intense change in the east village “hood.” From the reopening of a newly curfewed Tompkins Square Park and Wigstock in ‘92, to the destruction of the cherished Loisaida Community Gardens, to the yuppie invasions of the dot com years, to the present era, indelibly stamped with post-9/11 grief, this durable, lusty neighborhood survives in spite of a real estate gold rush that has excluded all but the well-to-do. The movie’s main voices are those of the artists and street people whose wisdom and commentaries upon the dominant culture give us pause amidst the speedy approach of a “Brave New World.”

I will have my work shown at the Muddy Cup Kingston July 19th, 8pm. Chronogram Magazine does an event with musicians, poets and visual artists.

MUSIC: THE RHODES
SPOKEN WORD: JONATHAN GOULD
VISUAL ART: PATRICK WINFIELD

SATURDAY, JULY 19, 8 PM,
MUDDY CUP COFFEEHOUSE,
516 Broadway, Kingston, New York

A MONTHLY SALON SHOWCASING THREE ARTISTS SEEN IN THE PAGES OF CHRONOGRAM MAGAZINE

The Rhodes Music
Kingston’s cavernous Muddy Cup will become Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club when 2007 Woodstock Garage Rumble winners The Rhodes hit the stage in support of their wonderful new debut album, Modern Sounds from Northern Towns (Independent). Comprised of singer-guitarist Derek Daunicht, bassist Nick Imperial, singer-drummer David LaViola, and guitarist Rob Sciortino (all of whom are around 20 years of age), The Rhodes write and play great, well-crafted tunes that shamelessly, unmistakably, and infectiously evoke the lilting harmonies and raw energy of the early Beatles—something that’s clearly a hit with the High Falls-based quartet’s sizeable following of screaming and fruging young fans. Bet you’ll look good on the dancefloor, too!

Jonathan Gould Spoken Word
Building on the loose theme of this edition of Café Chronogram, we’re honored to present a reading by Jonathan Gould, the author of Can’t Buy Me Love (Farar, Straus and Giroux), a best-selling meditation on the Fab Four and the drummer/writer’s very first book. In her profile of Gould for the January 2008 issue of Chronogram, Nina Shengold writes: “Despite the Beatles’s ubiquity, Can’t Buy Me Love avoids the familiar, eschewing gossip. Spotlighting obscure songs, and selecting offbeat photos. Gould focuses on the Beatles’ musicianship, but also examines their cultural context. And he makes it swing.” A former Bostonite and New Yorker, Gould now keeps his literary beat in Willow.

Patrick Winfield Visual Art
The creator of Last Laugh, the colorful, grid-like piece that adorns the cover of the April 2008 issue of Chronogram, Patrick Winfield gathers the individual images that make up his splashy, oversized collages by use of a rapidly disappearing medium: the Polaroid camera, a device whose once revolutionary “instant film” has been steadily outmoded by its cheaper digital descendents. Discussing Winfield’s work in the same issue, Tara Quealy writes: “Winfield finds inspiration in diverse places, from authors and artists spanning the centuries, everything from Egyptian sources to Dada and modern art.” Born in 1978, Winfield divides his time between New Paltz and Yonkers and has shown his work in Brooklyn, Beacon, and France.
