the 19th century to the present day. Guest curator Jean Burks has brought
together some of the finest quilts from across the country intended as be
d coverings\, articles of clothing\, furniture accessories\, wall decorati
on\, and three-dimensional sculptures. The exhibition examines their signi
ficance as cultural artifacts and showcases their visual diversity and art
istic excellence.
\n The quilts on display illustrate a variety of
techniques (whole cloth\, pieced\, appliqué\;d) and traditional desi
gns (album\, log cabin\, crazy\, pictorial) representing diverse cultural
styles and geographic areas (New England\, Amish\, Gee&rsquo\;s Bend). Six

\n Avant-Garde Persuasion: The Photographs of Harold Hal iday Costain is the first monographic exhibition devoted to the artis t in recent years.
\n\n A local photographer who lived and worked in Scarsdale\, New York\, from 1923 until 1975\, Costain was prolific throug hout his successful career\, winning numerous prestigious awards.
\nDrawing largely from the Bruce Museum collection and supplemented by work s from the Keith de Lellis Gallery (New York\, NY)\, the exhibition will s howcase a selection of Costain&rsquo\;s industrial\, architectural\, and s till-life photographs from the 1930s and 1940s.
\n\n Avant-Garde Persuasion will also highlight the unique role of the photograph at the very moment that Costain entered the profession in the 1920s\, a time when photographic print advertising was in its golden age. \; Replacin g drawings\, paintings\, and prints\, the photograph was ideally suited to the realm of advertising in its capacity to persuade vast audiences\, whi le enabling artists to experiment with avant-garde techniques.
\n\n Costain similarly employed a wide range of modernist strategies designed t o promote American industries\, products\, and consumer lifestyles. \; His photographs were often commissioned by and featured in a range of imp ortant publications such as Fortune\, Life\, Town &\; Country\, Hou se &\; Garden\, and Country Life\, among many others.&nbs p\;
\n\n Avant-Garde Persuasion is curated by the Museum&rs quo\;s 2012-2013 Zvi Grunberg Resident Intern\, Margarita Karasoulas\, and is accompanied by a digital catalogue and film series. \; The exhibit ion provides a rare opportunity to see key examples of the photographer&rs quo\;s innovative and visually seductive work.

\n\n &ldquo\;Sa cred Forms: Photographs by Paul Caponigro and David Heald&rdquo\; Opens Sa turday\, April 20
\n\n FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
\n\n April 8\, 20 13 &ndash\; Photography dealer Kathy McCarver Root and her gallery\, KMR A rts\, proudly announce the opening of its latest show of fine art photogra phy\, &ldquo\;Sacred Forms: Photographs by Paul Caponigro and David Heald. &rdquo\; \; The exhibition will open April 20 with a reception with th e artists from 5-7pm and will continue through May 31\, 2013.
\n\n O n April 20\, KMR Arts will open a magnificent exhibition by two renowned p hotographers: Paul Caponigro and David Heald. The exhibition\, entitled Sa cred Forms\, focuses on two complementary bodies of work by these internat ionally known photographers who interestingly have direct connections to n orthwest Connecticut.
\n\n Paul Caponigro&rsquo\;s photographs of th e natural world explore the mystical nature of the gelatin silver print. & nbsp\;Whether the subject is landscape or still life\, Caponigro'\;s en gagement with the natural world is both palpable and poetic. Caponigro' \;s fascination with the spiritual world began with his initial interest i n the medium of photography at the age of thirteen. \;After attending Boston University to study piano\, he again became attracted to photograp hy and between the years of 1955 and 1957\, he studied with Minor White\, the enormously influential photographer and teacher. In Caponigro&rsquo\;s work\, the inner eye and the outer world are interconnected in a basic\, almost primal way. That primacy is conveyed in Caponigro'\;s silver pri nts\, which possess a tactile quality that is all too rare. Paul Caponigro '\;s work will be the subject of a one-man show at the Yale Museum for British Art in 2014. Paul Caponigro'\;s work is in the Museum of Modern Art\, the Center for Creative Photography\, the Getty Museum\, the Chicag o Art Institute among others and he has influenced numerous photographers through his extensive teaching. In 1966\, Caponigro was the recipient of t he first of two Guggenheim Foundation grants and he has also been awarded three National Endowment for the Arts grants. Caponigro lived in Redding\, Connecticut from 1967 to 1970. In an interview in 2006\, Caponigro stated \, &ldquo\;For me\, photography provides an intersection of time\, space\, light\, and emotional stance. One needs to be still enough\, observant en ough\, and aware enough to recognize the life of the materials\, to be abl e to '\;hear through the eyes.&rsquo\;&rdquo\;
\n\n David Heald&r squo\;s photographs of Cistercian abbeys in France convey the silent beaut y of these fascinating edifices. Heald'\;s photographs appeal to a wide audience\, whether the interest is architecture\, history\, culture\, or the simplicity of photography'\;s essential definition - painting with light. These photographs of the Cistercian abbeys were the subject of an a ward
\n\n winning monograph\, published by Harry Abrams in 2000 and reprinted in 2002 entitled &lsquo\;Architecture of Silence&rsquo\;. David Heald began in the photography studio at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Sinc e 1985 Heald has been the Chief photographer for the Guggenheim Museum\, N ew York. Heald&rsquo\;s photographs are in the collections of the Mount Ho lyoke College Art Museum\, the Cleveland Museum of Art\, and the Bibliothe que Nationale\, Paris. Copies of &lsquo\;Architecture of Silence&rsquo\; b y David Heald will be available for sale at KMR Arts.
\n\n Kathy McC arver Root says\, &ldquo\;Paul Caponigro and David Heald are both masters within the world of photography. I have admired Paul Caponigro&rsquo\;s wo rk for many years. He is a vastly influential artist as well as a teacher whose work reaches far beyond the boundaries of the medium of photography. David Heald&rsquo\;s photographs are balanced\, beautiful and inspiring.& rdquo\;
\n\n Appealing to both the established collector and the fir st time buyer\, KMR Arts continues to celebrate photography. Kathy McCarve r Root is a photography dealer\, working with individual and corporate cli ents to purchase and install fine art photography. McCarver Root gained he r experience over two decades while working as a photography editor for bo oks (Lillian Bassman\, Bulfinch\, Weekend Retreats\, Rizzoli) and prestigi ous magazines (Esquire\, US Weekly\, and InStyle). KMR Arts marked its 5-y ear anniversary with a memorable show of vintage prints by photographer Di ane Arbus in October\, 2012. Litchfield Magazine named Kathryn McCarver Ro ot one of Litchfield County&rsquo\;s 50 Most Influential People.

\n\n Five ladders\, with their cheerful colors and pl ayful patterns\, lean against the Museum&rsquo\;s enormous spruce trees in various positions and at different angles. On the building&rsquo\;s fa&cc edil\;ade\, a 30-foot ladder extends just short of the roofline - its form and ribbons of color energizing the wall and lending sculptural dimension to the flat expanse. Each of the ladders are hand-constructed from sturdy commercial bamboo harvested in China and painted with high-gloss outdoor enamel paint from Holland. Their surfaces are smooth and reflective in con trast to the course-textured tree bark.

\n The Stairwell Gallery at the Gunn Memorial Library in Was hington\, CT will be exhibiting the photography of Hunter Brown from May 4 th to June 8th. \; The exhibit can be viewed during library hours.&nbs p\; There will be a reception open to the public on May 4th from 12 to 2pm .
\n\n \;
\n\n Using a Leica M-9P digital rangefinder cam era\, this world traveler captures the color and customs of all the places he visits. His previous exhibit in the Stairwell Gallery was after his tr ip to India. \; \; The images in this show are from a three week t our which includes Cairo and scenes from the southern part of the country taken during a boat trip along the Nile. \; Hunter writes of his work\ , &ldquo\;I try not to be a &lsquo\;postcard&rsquo\; photographer\, though I admit the temptation frequently arises. \; I see Egypt &ndash\; any where for that matter &ndash\; in terms of its people. \; I will leave the monuments to others.&rdquo\;
\n\n \;
\n\n Hunter beg an to learn his way around cameras using a Brownie when he was a child.&nb sp\; He was born and raised in Connecticut and attended Suffield Academy a nd it was in high school that he learned how to develop his own film.
\n \;
\n\n Graduating from Union College with a degree in In ternational Relations\, he served with the US State Department&rsquo\;s Ag ency for International Development in Viet Nam from 1966 to 1969. \; I t was in Viet Nam with his Minolta SLR that his creativity found new focus . \; The atmosphere\, surroundings and people were natural inspiration . \; Having access to a photo lab in Saigon his artistic eye matured a nd he found that while his images were all encompassing\, he gravitated to photographing humanity. \;
\n\n \;
\n\n Mr. Brown ha s received many awards\, is a member of the Camera Club of New York and ha s his own darkroom at home. \; After working many years in the U. S. a nd abroad for a major New York bank and more recently with the Paley Cente r for Media in New York\, he resides with his wife in Washington Depot\, C onnecticut. \;
\n\n \;
\n\n We hope you can take the time to experience the photography of Hunter Brown and take a vicarious tr ip down the Nile.

corded a few new songs that are with the same heart such as &ldquo\;These
Troubled Times&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s A Love Thing&rdquo\;. \
; The band \;was bought together because of the huge demand from fan
s to hear more music from the originators of the so-called &ldquo\;Jam Ban
d&rdquo\;. When \;Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia \;got together it
was pure magic. They were in these groups\; Merl Saunders and Jerry Garci
a\, Reconstruction and Legion Of Mary\, which were at the forefront of the
jam band era. What better way to pay homage to these legendary players th
an by having \;BILL VITT \;who played with Merl and Jerry\, \;

scientists and activists gathered in Albany on the governor'\;s front
doorstep\, calling \; for a ban on hydraulic-fracturing (fracking). Wi
th the news that Governor Andrew Cuomo might lift the moratorium on fracki
ng in New York any day\, the event was assembled in less than a month. The
goal of the varied participants\, many of whom had never met before this
night\, was to explain in clear terms the environmental\, economic and hea
lth risks of fracking and to motivate people to rise up against the practi
ce using a unique blend of music and message. A unique blend of The La
st Waltz and An Inconvenient Truth\, the film that resulted
from the night was written and directed by Jon Bowermaster and filmed unde
r the direction of Academy Award-winning documentary maker Alex Gibney. Th
e stars of the night included actors Mark Ruffalo and Melissa Leo\, enviro
nmental biologist Sandra Steingraber and a long list of musicians such as
Natalie Merchant\, Joan Osborne\, Dan Zanes\, the Felice Brothers\, Citize
n Cope\, Medeski Martin &\; Wood and more. Jon Bowermaster is a noted o
ceans expert\, award-winning journalist\, author\, filmmaker\, adventurer
and six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council. \n \; \n An acclaimed Canadian play\, \;Ba
shir Lazhar \;tells the story of a French-Algerian political refu
gee who is hurriedly hired as the teacher at an elementary school in Montr
eal for a class of distressed students. His unorthodox teaching methods dr
aw him into surprisingly explosive territory. The 2012 Best Foreign Film O
scar Nominee \;Monsieur Lazhar \;is based
on this timely and beautifully written play. \n Underwritten by Lyn Evans Potpourri Designs \n Proceeds from this event will benefit The Women'

\n\n A new play by James Graha m
\n\n It&rsquo\;s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ri ng with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain&rsquo\;s politic al parties battle to change the future of the nation\, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament\, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one\, fist fights erupt in the bars\, and ill MPs are hau led in to cast their votes.
\n\n It&rsquo\;s a time when a staggerin g number of politicians die\, and age-old traditions and allegiances are t hrown aside in the struggle for power.
\n\n James Graham&rsquo\;s bi ting\, energetic and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their slee ves\, and on occasion bend the rules\, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflict ing chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.

\n\n Robert Davi\, one of the most recognizable entertain ers in the world puts on a beautifully staged and sung tribute to Ol'\; \; Blue Eyes that is both heartfelt and theatrical. Davi was singing long before Frank Sinatra hand-picked him to play Mickey Sinardos in the 1977 NBC television drama "\;Contract on Cherry Street."\; As a teenager\, Davi already had an insatiable desire to not just disting uish himself as a singer\, but to follow his idol'\;s lead and become a singer who really could act. Davi studied opera as a young man\, and alwa ys intended to make singing his career. As fate would have it\, however\, his screen career took flight and there was no looking back.
\n\n Wh ile Davi may portray characters in drama\, comedy and action that define & quot\;the tough guy persona\,"\; it'\;s nothing more than an artist working his craft. The real Robert Davi is the man we hear on this album: a sensitive romantic\; a gentle soul who brings a masculine edge to these songs\; a great mixture of sensitivity and toughness. For the recording\, Davi chose two music legends\, producer Phil Ramone and mixing engineer A l Schmitt\, which speaks volumes about his intentions to make this a meani ngful career endeavor.
\n\n His voice is suitably magnificent &h ellip\;. Robert evokes the ease of the Legend without coming off as a repl icator. He makes these songs his own just like Dino and Mel did when they performed Frank&rsquo\;s material. He will give our audiences a rare\, cla ssy treat.-Dan Aykroyd
