Discussion | Art and Literature: Hearing the Gardener’s Voice


Gardens are a series of transitory delights, temporal transactions between humans and nature. Luckily, the creation and development of a garden is sometimes recorded by its maker or, in some cases, by the discerning visitor. Books by and about true gardeners constitute a special genre of literature. Paula Deitz is a distinguished journalist whose personal responses to numerous gardens have been gathered in her recent book, Of Gardens, a collection of essays that brim with sensory description. Distinguished landscape architect Laurie Olin writes descriptive appreciations and annotates the gardens he visits as well as the ones he designs with exceptional drawings. They will join landscape historian Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, author of Writing the Garden: A Literary Conversation Across Two Centuries, in a discussion of the ways that they and others represent the marriage of garden art and nature through words and illustrations.

Author Reading | Luc Carl reads from his book The Drunk Diet


With his trademark Rock 'N Roll hair and snakeskin spandex pants, plus a hot rod and a Harley, Lüc Carl fit the part as a bar manager based in New York City's gritty Lower East Side. And life was good for this Omaha, Nebraska, transplant—a talented drummer who originally moved to the big city to pursue his Rock 'N Roll dreams—until, suddenly, it wasn't. Fast forward through seven years of working long hours, bingeing on late-night Chinese food, and drinking excessively; life had found Lüc forty pounds overweight and completely out of shape. But when he turned to the "experts" for advice—reading countless fitness and weight-loss books in the process—he discovered...

Slide Lecture | Hollywood’s Golden Age: The Rise & Fall of the Studio System


This visual talk takes the audience (via DVD clips and slides) on a whirlwind 50-year journey that begins with the rise of the studios in the Wild West of the 1910s and ends with the studio system decline in the 1960s. Between World War I and the late 1950s, the Hollywood studios were at the height of their artistic powers. During this Golden Age, these Hollywood dream factories endured celebrity scandals, the Great Depression, and the arrival of television. Each Hollywood studio had its own cinematic style to make 20th century moviegoing truly memorable: from MGM’s Gene Kelly musicals and Paramount’s sophisticated Preston Sturges comedies; from the tough Warner Bros. gangster dramas of Bogart and Cagney to the Universal horror classics of Karloff and Lugosi. With Max Alvarez, film scholar, cultural writer, historian and festival curator.
