Kathryne Cyman’s show at Weyrich worth seeing
Kathryne Cyman follows a 400-year old Japanese tradition to create translucent porcelain plates, cups and bowls - bringing to the process wonderful glazes made from materials she gathers in the Sandia Mountains and the volcanos on the west mesa. Cyman is being honored by AABA as a Local Treasure and I had the opportunity to visit with her before the opening of the Weyrich show. It is obvious that she is not only a master of the art, but that it is truly a labor of love. She has studied with porcelain masters in Arita, Japan where the process was created more than 400 years ago when a large porcelain clay deposit was discovered near the town of Arita. That clay is now only available to Japanese masters but a porcelain clay body with similar properties has been developed in the US, providing material for students and professionals using the Arita method. Cyman was selected by her professor, Jim Srubek, and Manji Inoue (a National Living Treasure from Japan) to continue Srubek’s Arita program at UNM. This is the only such program that exists in the US. The gallery is open Tue-Fri from 10:30 to 5:30 and Saturdays 11- 5:30. You can also call for an appointment.

Legal Hawks screens at the KiMo
Local production company A+ #1 Productions will be previewing their independent television pilot Legal Hawks on Sept. 21. The year is 1986 and a new television network called Fox is desperate for content. They approach the biggest hair band of the era, Von Holland, to do a weekly concert. Von Holland decides instead to do a legal drama and the series is born. Legal Hawks was written and directed by Josh Klein and stars local actors Isaac Kappy and Ross Kelly. Also appearing are Bill Sterchi, April Fox, Reuben Finkelstein, Shenoah Allen, Mark Chavez, David Kappy and Victor Izay. The pilot was shot by local cinematographer Corey Weintraub and was produced by Isaac Kappy. Students from CNM’s film training program worked alongside industry professionals during the making of the pilot. The screening at the KiMo is free of charge and open to the public, however, the filmmakers will be using the event as a fundraiser for a Farmington fireman whose family is grappling with financial duress after medical complications that led to the loss of their unborn child. Also showing at the screening will be the premiere of Hide, the latest short film from Trifecta Plus Entertainment, directed by Scott Milder, and Time Assassins, a short film directed by Reuben Finkelstein.

Beautiful Losers next Art in Film offering
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.

Shinji’s botanical etchings merge Western and Japanese sensibilities. His images often emanate out of a soft shadow into subdued light, giving them a sense of wonder, as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty. Shinji will discuss the multi-plate etching process from 6:30-7 pm. The show continues through September 27. The evening’s celebration also marks the 12th Anniversary of New Grounds so there will be music, always great food, and two raffles. Win a $250 gift certificate for art or a class of your choice. Be sure to go next door to Matrix Fine Art for the opening of Dwelling in the Form: Etchings and Paintings by Takahiko Hayashi plus a bonus exhibition of new work by Emily Trovillion and Frank McCulloch.

AMERICANA - SINGER/SONGWRITER

The Gougers used to have a big, fancy bio. It cost $200 and had big words like “analogous” and “suffused” in it. It also had “sidehill.” They decided that was lame and so they deleted it.

One day at Zapato’s Cantina in College Station, TX, Shane heard Jamie sing and asked her to come play in a band with him. She said “yes” and so they went back to Shane’s house and listened to some records. They jammed out to Gram and Emmylou one day. Then Gillian and Dave the next. They tried to pretty much copy what they heard because it made them feel like highlanders feel when they are near other immortals.

One day they hired this kid, Brian, to play fiddle. He played fiddle as good as Jamie sang and as good as Shane quoted dead philosophers. But he turned out to be a lame quitter and went to the Jug Band to make more money and get more women. He was immature.

So then they met Cody. They hired him because his dad played in the NFL and they thought that was cool. Later he taught Shane about Rock n Roll. He said, “The best bands don’t ever get signed.”

Then Shane’s mom co-signed and they bought a van. They met the Dedringers who drew nasty pictures in the dirt on the side of it. But Wrecks liked them so they were allowed to stay. They were good, too, and it was funny to watch Jonny gurm Townes’s son. And their girl jeans were hilarious!

One day the invisible gouger said that they needed a drummer. He told them that if they put the feathers of a Mexican fighting rooster in a Crown Royal bag and buried it while saying some shit in Spanish, then a drummer would appear in three business days. And that’s how they got Silva. They solidified the closing of the circle with a tattoo ceremony about heartache and the loss of god. That woulda been it. But Lance shows up and says, “You’re doing this all wrong.” The rest has been a work in progress. And so, kids, this is the story of the Gougers. We ooze positivity. www.thegougers.com

THE SOUTH AUSTIN JUG BAND

Let’s just get it out of the way right now: There’s no jug-playing in the South Austin Jug Band. And the bluegrass connotation that name carries should be spilled down the drain along with any other moonshine-preconceived notions. Sure, there’s fiddle, mandolin, an upright bass … but there’s also drumming, occasional electric guitar and even digital looping. And Beck. The band’s latest album, Strange Invitation, gets its title from a lyric in Mr. Hansen’s 1997 charmer, “Jackass,” the only cover on this 11-song collection.
Comparisons, if they must be made, might meander more toward a low-intensity Grateful Dead (which, it should be noted, started out as a real jug band) or something with an even more melodic and laid-back vibe. Lead singer/acoustic guitarist James Hyland, whose tenor redefines mellow, would be quite happy if you’d just go with “bitchin’ tunes.” www.southaustinjugband.com

He was born in 1970 in Zimbabwe. He holds amazing Energy of the Ancestral Spirit that he

of great mbira players in Mwangara village, Murewa, Zimbabwe, in 1970. He began playing mbira
at the age of five and is self-taught. Through listening to other gwenyambira, or great mbira players,
he developed a strong attachment to and love for mbira music. He says, “Our music is both medicine
and food, as mbira has the power to heal and to provide for people. Mbira pleases both the living
and the dead.” In 1991, Musekiwa was a key member of the band Panjea, founded by Chris Berry.
He composed the hit song “Ganda” on Panjea’s Zimbabwean album. Currently Musekiwa teaches mbira
at Prince Edward School in Harare. He is an excellent singer, dancer, drummer, and he plays both

Neikrug’s Through Roses, to be performed at Festival on August 24th, to be recorded for the third time by Koch, and will culminate a special five-day event in New York City this November

The Financial Times praised Marc Neikrug for the 1980 world premiere of Through Roses in London, stating, “His compositional gifts on the evidence of Through Roses are profuse and versatile; there would be few elegancies of sound, one imagines, he could not contrive.”, and the Allgemeiner Anzeiger in Zurich commented on the 1985 Zurich performance, “At the end of the hour-long performance not a hand moved to applaud; not because of artistic disappointment but rather from too much pain unleashed by the confrontation with unimaginable events, beyond any measure or category.”

Marc Neikrug’s world-renowned music-theatre piece, Through Roses, has been performed over 800 times and translated into ll languages since its debut in 1981. The subject of two films: a documentary co-produced by England’s Channel 4 and Germany’s WDR, and a motion picture featuring Academy Award winning actor Maximilian Schell produced by Cinecentrum, the emotion-laden piece will be recorded for the third time by Koch in the United States (it previously has been recorded for the Deutsche Gramophon and Enja labels) and released this November 2008.

Artists featured on the recording will be those heard performing on August 24th concert at 6:00 pm at the Lensic: actor John Rubinstein; flutist Tara Helen O’Connor; oboist Liang Wang; clarinetist Todd Levy, violinist Pinchas Zukerman, violist Jethro Marks, cellist Amanda Forsyth, pianist Jeremy Denk, percussionist David Tolen and Marc Neikrug, conductor.

The work will also be the culminating piece of a special, five-day event being presented by the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, in association with Canada’s Royal Conservatory of Music. Entitled “Music in Exile-Émigré Composers of the 1930s,” the series of concerts and talks, which celebrates the music of Jewish composers forced to flee the Third Reich and German composers who resisted the Nazi regime, begins on Sunday, November 9, 2008, the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, and 75 years since Adolf Hitler’s rise to power.

Held at the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall at 36 Battery Place in New York City, the series culminates on Thursday, November 13 with a 7 pm concert that concludes with Marc Neikrug’s work, Through Roses, which will feature the noted theater, film, and television actor Saul Rubinek. Mr. Rubinik portrays violinist Carl Stern, tormented by his memories of Auschwitz, where through the rose hedges of the camp commandant’s garden, he witnessed the horror of the arrival of his fellow prisoners of war, the selection process and the inevitable journey to the gas chambers. Called an “extraordinary achievement” by The New York Times when it premiered in New York 27 years ago , this is its first New York performance since then.

The New York performance on November 13 will feature: Saul Rubinek, actor/director; Marc Neikrug, conductor; Daniel Phillips, violinist; Anne-Marie McDermott, pianist; Tara Helen O’Connor, flutist; Steve Tenenbom, violist; Tim Eddy, cellist; Alan Kay, clarinetist; Steve Taylor, oboist, and Jonathan Haas, percussionist. Information and tickets for “Music in Exile-Émigré Composers of the 1930s” are available by calling the Museum of Jewish Heritage at 646.437.4202 or by visiting the Museum’s Web site at www.mjhnyc.org
