JoeAnn Hart, the author of the social satire Addled and a regular contributor to the Boston Globe Magazine, will read from her pretty-much-finished novel, Float. Set in a seaside town in Maine, Float follows the travails of the owner of a dehydration plant as he copes with financial desperation, conceptual art, insanity, infertility, YouTube, a seagull, a duck, plastic, marital crisis, jellyfish and organized crime.

Rick Drost began singing with a Kingston Trio-style group in high school, continued in a small folk group in college, then a glee club, and an opera chorus. He started writing and singing around coffeehouses in DC and New England in the ‘70s, finally settling in Cambridge, MA, where he was a member of the folk-rock group Parts and Labor. He performs at least once a week, wherever he goes.

WED, Sept 15th: Anne Krinsky, Artist in Residence Gallery Talk
Delineation Lime, by Anne Krinsky, acrylic on panel, 24” x 24”
Printmaker Anne Krinsky will be the third Goetemann Artist in Residence for 2010. She will give a talk about her work on Wednesday, September 15 at 7pm in the Rocky Neck Gallery.
Anne Krinsky makes grid-based works on paper and panel that occupy a middle ground between painting and drawing. In them, a delicate linear geometry is alternately overlaid with, or superimposed upon, translucent layers of acrylic color. Her panels are built up over time with thick swaths, splotches and drips of candy-colored paint. She subsequently sands these down to create a seamless seductive surface — a visual representation of a present moment shaped by prior experience.
Her upcoming show, Anne Krinsky: Time / Line, 2000 – 2010, opens in October 2010 at the Trustman Gallery at Simmons College in Boston. Krinsky’s layered acrylic paintings are in the collections of the British Museum, the Boston Public Library, Graham Gund and the UK charity, Paintings in Hospitals. She holds a BFA in Printmaking from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is represented in Boston by Soprafina Gallery.

Jo-Ann Castano Would Like Us To Check Out The Work Of Stevens Brosnihan
Jo-Ann writes-
Hi Joey, Getting more and more feedback on people loving GMG! I just repost
from your site to fb. Works well for me, thanks. This is one of the posting on my fb you
may not have received and might be interested in. Gloucester fine artist, Stevens, is a wonderful
fun guy and the Cape Ann Museum’s use of the White-Ellery House to host one day installations
of artists has been a fantastic opportunity. Think you would enjoy Stevens and
I was interested in that he says here he has processed photographs with coffee. Not sure
if he’s under the influence of caffein or actually processing film with coffee. Either way,
I’m sure he’s captured the historical time and essence of the White-Ellery House in
a unique way. Best to you today Joey… keep that news flying like the gulls.

Local Ad Company Makes National Music Video For Guster
My childhood buddy Jonathan Cahill- AKA Abby Joy Cahill’s older brother writes-
Hey Joey,
Some breaking news for you:
Universal Republic Records has chosen Chad Carlberg, owner of Bait & Tackle Ad Company in Gloucester, MA, and director with Production Blue, to create the new music video for Guster’s new single “Do You Love Me?” Chad Carlberg and Gloucester-based visual artist Jon Sarkin have begun collaboration on the project. Chad and Jon have been friends and have worked on a number of projects together for ten years. Chad and Guster drummer Brian Rosenworcel have been longtime friends as well.
Two months ago, Brian was talking to Chad about needing artwork for a new album (in two weeks!) and still had no artist. Chad suggested Jon Sarkin. Sarkin has work in the private collections of Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro and Diane Von Furstenberg. He has shown at Diane von Furstenberg, The DeCordova and others (see www.jsarkin.com for more), has been featured in three BBC documnetary films, an ABC Medical Mysteries, articles in GQ, Vanity Fair, Readers Digest, etc. Brian loved the idea, and a few days later the band was on-board and Sarkin was off and running on the album cover and all art for album.
Shortly thereafter, Brian asked Chad to direct one of the 12 songs off the new album for a web video. Chad chose the single “Do You Love Me?” But Brian called back later and recommended picking another song because the single was getting a real budget and would be done only by a director with Universal’s approval. But Chad was up to the challenge and said, “Let me try.” He wrote five treatments, and created a video page for his pitch of demo work. Even though he had Brian in his corner, Brian had no influence over Universal, who held the purse strings.
As it turned out, Universal and the band members loved the idea that Chad pitched using Sarkin as part of the video. This pitch video was based on a test Chad previously made with Sarkin and noted musician, Sten Bowen who also co-directed with Chad on this project.
Under Chad Carlberg’s direction, this is the first major Production Blue project, (Bait & Tackle Ad Company’s new, high-end production partner). Chad is assisted by Emile Doucette, Bait & Tackle’s Technical Director and Tom Papows, Camera Operator.
See video here about the idea for the music video and the Carlberg/Sarkin/Guster relationship:

Below is an example of Deb’s Art you will see.
Beacon Marine viewed from Rocky Neck. This is an oil painting of the view from our old apartment on Rocky Neck. The apartment was smaller than this one, but i sure got a lot of painting done in that space. My struggle was to get the color, activate the picture plane and make the ‘box’ of the building. The box is successful. It was a real struggle to understand the activity below the doc and putting the boats on the plane of the water. The painting is oil on canvas 24×30″. copyright Clarke 2007
