analog representations of youth culture in a digital age
Posted: Jul 31, 2009first thursdays
opening reception:
aug 6th 2009.
5-9pm
Four young artists working in traditional media (printmaking, sculpture, painting, photography) depict the youth culture of their generation. Skateboards, vinyls, Polaroid instant film, VHS tapes, discarded old toys, and cassette tapes are among the subjects of their work. ashley capachione uses printmaking as a means to explore obsolete technology. lucy watson builds sculptures from found toys to re-examine the ideas instilled in us at an early age. jimmy treverton redesigns skateboards as nonfunctional objects. and nathan mondragon documents his friends using Polaroid instant film. each artist uses symbols and icons to explore themes and ideas concerning their generation and lifetime. Despite working in a time when everything around them has been "going digital," their work remains handmade and simple, with little reliance on technology.
4 artists:
ashley capachione, prints.
lucy watson, sculptures.
jimmy treverton, sculptures.
nathan mondragon, polaroid & painting installation.

Penguin Perfection-Raising $ For Penguin Protection
Posted: Nov 03, 2007Julia's parents met while on the swim team at U Mass Boston. Her mother Nancy is a former JP resident. Here are excerpts from an email interview with Julia:
Q: How much does it cost to adopt a penguin?
A: I am adopting a Rockhopper Penguin, which is my favorite and the least expensive to adopt, $100.00.
Q: You live in Germany, with extended family in NY & MA, how did you know about an Adopt A Penguin program from a zoo in Nebraska?
A: I was looking for a site to raise money for penguins, and my Mom suggested the Omaha Zoo because we went there in April '06. I googled the zoo and Voila! I found the site I needed.
Q: When did you think of this idea?
A: I did an endangered species project on these penguins last year in my science class. Around September this year I had to do a project for school that's supposed to help me with one of my life goals. Well, one of my life's goals is to become a Penguin Expert, so I did this project. I was originally going to try to raise the money needed to adopt a penguin by selling penguin T-Shirts at school, but, changed my mind and built a web site instead. This way I could teach more people about penguins, and offer more variety of things to sell on line, it's a way for more people to be affected by it.
Q: What is the mark up on the things you are selling to raise money for your penguin adoption?
A: There is a $1.04 mark up on all the things.
Q: How much have you raised so far?
A: $25.
Q: Whats been your favorite part about this project?
A: I look forward to reading people's comments on the "What Do You Think" section of my Penguin Perfection web site. I like answering their penguin questions and teaching people about penguins.

500 Trout Arrive in JP Pond
Posted: Oct 02, 2007
This morning at 11AM a tank truck from the Massachusetts Wildlife & Fisheries arrived at the pond in Jamaica Plain with about 500 trout. The trout came from a hatchery in Belchertown MA. They are healthy, swimming in the water and are hoping you all make an expedition to the New England Mobile Book Fair in Newton to buy "Trout Fishing in America" written by Richard Brautigan instead of catching them and eating them. But if you do catch them and eat them, please dont forget to give thanks. Thanks!

Nikki Giovanni speaks at Blacksburg VA
Posted: Apr 17, 2007by steve silberman on the anniversary of allen ginsberg's death:
Posted: Apr 05, 2007Allen's notion of being a professional in a professional universe had nothing to do with accomplishments, fame, or credentials. By the time I met him, he had already written most of his major poems ("Howl" and "Kaddish" were two decades behind him, the magnificent sad poems of White Shroud were still ahead), and he was weary of his own public schtick, though still appreciative of how being famous could inspire sweet, bright young men to share his bed with him. What I think Allen meant was more like learning what's really at stake in being alive, and then taking responsibility for your own role in creating—or helping to relieve—the suffering of your fellow sentient beings. No flake-outs, no neurotic freakouts, no excuses. Own your own shit, your own fraud—and then work hard. "And what's the Work?" he once asked in a poem. "To ease the pain of living. Everything else, drunken dumbshow."
Professionals know the rules, and in this universe, the first rule (the "first noble truth" of Buddhism) is that life hurts. Your herculean labors come to nada, your former friend tells you to fuck off, you get cancer—at the least, you catch yourself in the mirror and realize that you look like every other old person you've ever seen. So what do you do? You realize that everyone is in the same boat, and then start rowing. But what if it's hopeless? No "what if"—it's hopeless. Gradually or suddenly, you will lose the things, people, and places you love most. And then you row anyway, because in some profound way, all these "others" are you.
Allen got sweeter in his last decade in part because he grew to accept the inevitability of death, both through his Buddhist practice and through close observation of particulars, as the world he grew up in disappeared. The way that famous Allen Ginsberg matured to become more kind (even behind the scenes) was another huge lesson for me. Death is very good at what it does, so we have to be equally good at what we do. I'd say that I miss Allen, and I do, but the gift he gave us is everywhere, right now. Are you breathing? There's still time.

Posted: Jul 27, 2006Former Boston artist Diane Bonder is having a retrospective of her films at NYC's MoMA
May 06, 2006Former Boston artist (and restaurant worker!) (Back Bay Bistro! ) Diane Bonder left Boston in the early 1990's to persue further art studies at Rutgers University. Eventually settling in Brooklyn, Diane (who's been dueling with pancreatic cancer since Sept '05) is having a retrospective of her films at NYC's MoMA May 13th & May 17th: http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/film_media/2006/Diane_Bonder.html Diane Bonder: You Are Not from Here May 13 & 17, 2006 Diane Bonder's poetic semi-narrative and documentary film and media works explore themes of identity. This exhibition spans ten years of the Brooklyn-based artist's Super-8, 16mm, and video work. Bonder's shooting and editing style intimately marks the passage of time and poetically engages the viewer. Each theme is presented within a social and philosophical framework, coupled with compassion, subtle humor, and intelligence. Organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Media. Special thanks to Kathy High. Dear Mom. 1996. USA. A girl's identity is examined in relation to her powerful mother, a matriarchal family, and domestic fantasies. 13 min. If. 2000. USA. The confines of a room and the objects in it represent a missing lover. 12 min. If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home by Now. 2001. USA. Rural American landscapes and newspaper stories reflect the struggle over privacy, public space, and property. 15 min. Closer to Heaven. 2003. USA. "Urban ghosts collide; abandoned umbrellas tumble down the streets, my father calls again and again to say good-bye" ( Bonder). 15 min. You Are Not from Here. 2005. USA. The meaning we project on the environment is explored through the disappearing vernacular landscape. 10 min. I Remember Now, We Never Danced, I Miss You, Good-bye. 2006. USA. Everyday movement, woven into a dance of memory and loss. 8 min. Program 73 min. Saturday, May 13, 6:30 (introduced by Bonder); Wednesday, May 17, 6:00. T2
