Claude Carone
Claude Carone
On Thursday November 7th, there will be a solo exhibition by Claude Carone in the Main Galleries. The Carriage House will be closed for the winter season. The work will be on display through December 1st with a reception for the artist on Saturday November 9th from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m.
“My paintings use an unlimited vocabulary of space that tries to articulate a border area linking the unconscious and the dream state. My paintings enact a psychological dialogue between these two states of being.
I use color – each of which has a specific weight -- to organize space and pull the elements of the paintings together. The multiple perspectives and organization of planes creates a sense of depth despite the fact that I fit a world of three dimensions into two.

Depth and surface share a mission: to take the viewer to a new level of perceptive consciousness. Like music, my paintings show both major movements and the elaborations that accompany them. And just as silence serves to shape musical mass and duration, the implied space outside the paintings serves to help define the space within."

SELECT INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES WITH LENNY COOKE, JOAKIM NOAH, DIRECTORS JOSH & BENNY SAFDIE
Opening in theaters on December 6th, LENNY COOKE was a stand-out at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival where it had its world premiere.
In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the most hyped high school basketball player in the country, ranked above future greats LeBron James, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. A decade later, Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA. In this quintessentially American documentary, filmmaking brothers Joshua and Benny Safdie take a candid look and track the unfulfilled destiny of a man for whom superstardom was only out of reach.
LENNY COOKE marks the first feature length documentary by the Safdie brothers, who received the John Cassavetes Award at The Independent Spirit Awards for DADDY LONGLEGS. DADDY LONGLEGS premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as did their first feature THE PLEASURE OF BEING ROBBED.

As part of a world-wide birthday celebration of "50 years of sublime arsekicking puppetry," the award-winning Bread & Puppet Theater from Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom presents their The Shatterer of Worlds (chapel with naturalization services for applicants requesting citizenship in the shattered world), a political puppet performance enveloping audience and performers alike within the sanctuary of the West Park Presbyterian Church.
The Shatterer of Worlds intent, as described by Bread & Puppet's founder and artistic director Peter Schumann:
"At the moment when the first atomic bomb was dropped, Oppenheimer, the chief architect of that bomb, recalled words from the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu prayer epic: 'Life, the splendor of 1000 suns blazing all at once, resembling the exulted soul, is become Death, the shatterer of worlds.' In view of the latest failed earth summit and faced with the likelihood of multiple planetary shatterings, this sentence is reproduced by the Paper MachéAuthorities in the Cathedral of Impermanence for your enlightenment and as a reminder of our possible predicament."
Schumann then further elaborates:
"The overt extrajudicial capabilities of the society system allow the shatterer of worlds to function legally to cultivate destructions so minute and gigantic, the eye cannot perceive and the mind cannot behold them. No politician, no hazardous substance, but a well-established tradition and demon strengthened by endless practices of devastation, the shatterer continues to plot the assassination of existence-as-it-is, while disguising his activities as benevolent maneuvers meant to cure the two ailing adversaries: the planet and humanity. By imitating the miraculous blossoming of the evening primrose, the chapel manages to reverse the original statement: Death, the shatterer of worlds, becomes Life, the splendor of 1000 suns blazing all at once, resembling the exulted soul."
".... as Bread and Puppet fans know,
distilling political protest into art
is a kind of magic."

The Boston Globe, Sept. 13, 2013)

BRIEF BACKGROUND ON BREAD & PUPPET THEATER
Bread & Puppet Theater is one of the oldest and most unique theatrical companies in the United States. The theater champions a visually rich slapstick style of street-theater that is filled with huge puppets made of paper maché and cardboard, combined with masked characters, improvisational dance movement, political commentary, and a lively brass band for accompaniment. The company’s performances are described by The New York Times as "a spectacle for the heart and soul."
Bread & Puppet is based on a large farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. It was founded by Peter Schumann, German born artist-dancer, in 1963, and for the next decade his giant puppets figured prominently in anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in New York City, Washington DC and other cities in the US and abroad. Indoor performances were both simpler and more complex, ranging from quiet, intense masked shows ("Fire", "Man Says Good-Bye") with 4-6 players, to huge, lengthy spectacles ("Cry of the People for Meat").
In 1970, an invitation from Vermont's Goddard College to be theater-in-residence, facilitated a longed-for change to country life. "Our Domestic Resurrection Circus," an outdoor festival of music, art, puppetry and pageantry, began then, and ran almost every summer, growing to crowds of tens of thousands, until 1998. Since then, a smaller (but with giant puppets intact), more dispersed version continues on Sundays in July and August; the company continues touring and workshopping the rest of the year in New England and around the globe; and Schumann continues as director and artist — and bread baker — with a vengeance!
Bread & Puppet is one of the oldest, nonprofit, self-sustaining theatrical companies in this country. www.breadandpuppet.org
BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THE CENTER AT WEST PARKThe Center at West Park is an urban, shared-space facility housed in West Park Presbyterian Church. Though the church is the initiator and host of The Center, The Center itself is not affiliated with any religious tradition or denomination. The Center is currently incorporated, and is in the process of being designated a 501 (c)(3).
The community growing in The Center is one of invitation and synergy. It is a community in which people of different ages, ethnicities, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds and religious and spiritual affiliations (or none at all) are called into relationship through a commitment to social justice, community building and service, creativity, skill building across the life-cycle and interacting with its neighbors, both local and global.
The Center at West Park is a place where people can come together to express, explore, create, experiment, generate, invent and connect. It is a safe place for constructive dialogue across differences. A place where one can ask the question, “How are we going to live together in the future?” www.thecenteratwestpark.org
