Ethan Frome takes place against a backdrop of the cold, gray, bleakness of a New England winter. Ethan Frome is an isolated farmer trying to scrape out a meager living while also tending to his frigid, demanding and ungrateful wife, Zeena. Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton combined an insider's view of American aristocracy with a powerful prose style. Her novels and short stories realistically portrayed the lives and morals of the late nineteenth century, an era of decline and faded wealth. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1921, the first woman to receive this honor. Please read the book before arriving at the book discussion.

Opening Reception | Body Language: A 2-Woman Exhibition


The paintings of Miroslava Romanova depict bodies that seem both pathologised and eroticised, neither wholly living nor wholly dead. Romanova credits her childhood days spent engrossed in her uncle's medical library for her deep interest in disease and injury rather than the perfected body. Dasha S. Kandinsky paints the products and weapons of consumerism, what attacks and mutates and transforms the body. Hand grenades are shown as large as religious icons, glistening and hyper-real in the synthetic, aesthetic colours of advertising. Look closer and see that they are studded with familiar symbols, logos and slogans; Royal insignia, Facebook, dollar signs, national anthems. Kandinsky builds on the work of her late father, Pop-artist Anton S. Kandinsky, and his use of 'Gemism', the practice of depicting realistic images of gemstones in paintings.

Performance | Radio Theater presents: The Awful Truth (1937)


The screwball comedy The Awful Truth epitomizes the comedies of the late 30's and 40's, as remembered in the movie with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The play was written in 1921, and Sydnie Grosberg Ronga has adapted the story for radio. The story begins with a happy married couple, Jerry and Lucy Warriner, who find themselves headed to divorce court when they begin to doubt each other's fidelity. They file for divorce quickly, but soon regret their hasty actions. Before their divorce becomes final, Jerry and Lucy Warriner both do their best to ruin each other's plans for remarriage, Jerry to haughty socialite Molly Lamont, she to oil-rich bumpkin Daniel Leeson. Custody of the dog keeps Jerry close to Lucy, and Lucy impersonates his 'sister' to foil his budding romance with Molly. Soon, it's a madcap race to bring the lovebirds back together.

Classical Music | Hyggelic Opus: chamber works inspired by Danish culture


Lucy Railton, cello; James Rushford, piano; Stíne Janvin, vocal. Hyggelic Opus is a text-based sound collage piece for live and recorded voice, inspired by Danish composer Henning Christiansen (1932-2008) and the Danish term hygge (pronounced “hoo-guh”), which is defined as “a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being” and considered an essential character of Danish culture. Hyggelic Opus will be a communal creation of a hygge environment, taking into consideration the Scandinavian conformism and ostentatious happiness the term can also connote. Through a selection of staged scenarios in which the audience is invited to participate, hygge functions as the starting point for a musical interpretation of the Danish language based on found material from interviews and writings from Christiansen’s archive, YouTube videos, and other materials found online as well as Janvin’s own voice, recorded and performed live.
