What: A Timely Talk: An evening with Robin Colidzin

Where:  ZOOM

When:  March 20,2024 7:00pm

The New England Experimental Art Group presents Robin Colodzin

Please join us as we listen to artist Robin Colodzin. This exciting talk is free and open to the public!  All are welcome!

Robin Colodzin’s work is inspired by the ocean, poetry, philosophy, and feminism. She is an artist, a software engineer, a swimmer, and an avid reader.

Her latest solo show (fall 20223) entitled ‘Embodied’ was a month-long exhibit at The Copley Society for Art in Boston. She has recently published a monograph of the same title, including artwork and writing. 

DESCRIPTION OF TALK:

My studio of safe uncertainty: An exploration of the gap between pure expression and communication in art-making.  I find the practices that get me most fully embodied and expressive sometimes conflict with those that would allow me to shape a painting into something that would say something to others. This talk will explore those tensions.

The New England Experimental Art Group is a creative forum, its main mission is to increase public awareness and to foster self-expression by bringing artists together to explore and share ideas that cultivate creative freedom. 

If you would like a zoom invite to the event, please contact: Nella Lush, The New England Experimental Art Group Chair, via email at experimentalartgroupraa@gmail.com.

Eagles Near and Far

We took a 3 hour ride to the Shepaug Bald Eagle Observatory in Southbury CT one rainy gloomy day last week seeking out eagles. It’s a well designed observation area near the Shepaug Hydroelectric Power Station manned by knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. There are opportunities for bird watching above and beyond the majestic eagles too. That was a good distraction because it was gloomy and rainy so the eagles were deterred from visiting. We did observe one eagle flying in to hunt, feeding at waterside and in a tree but it was from a pretty good distance as you can see here. Can you see the eagle in flight?? (It’s there I promise you)

Anyhow, 6 hours round trip and only one distant eagle. We returned to Gloucester and immediately located the pair we’ve been following near Little River as if they wondered where we had been. Up close and personal right in our hometown. Lesson learned.

If you get a minute, we are posting 2 open positions for booksellers at Dogtown Books.

There is a page on our site with more info here: https://www.dogtownbooks.com/jobs

Interested folks can send a resume along to dogtownbooks@gmail.com.

Thanks so much,

George throws the whole “value proposition brunch” out the window when he orders the $5.25 cappuccino

I’ve often spoke about my buddy Derek who is legit the king of the Value Guy club.

A piece of shoe leather steak could be the best piece of steak he ever ate if it was $7.99

Well you can imagine his disappointment when George ordered the $5.25 cappuccino which was outside of the parameters of the $10 all you can eat brunch and through the whole value proposition out the window. 😂

The Definition of Ramshackle

We came across this very cool buoy shack while we were in Maine recently. Of course because we were not far up the coast and because Maine is well known for lobsters, we expected to see similar landscapes. And we did, but this particular shack could probably serve as a graphic definition for the word “ramshackle” ( which is a great word by the way). I just found it fascinating as it seems to be on the very edge of falling apart.
