The exhibition features 27 photographs taken by the first generation of Korean realists\, thirteen pioneers whose works evoke nostalgia for a nati on in a radical transition from its past. Curator Chang Jae Lee describes the exhibition as a counterpoint to the turbulent history of this period i n Korea\, featuring 'exuberant visual diversity' and 'anthropologically im portant aspects of the nearly forgotten past.' Touching and expressive\, t he photographs show how people used their traditions and humanity to face a new world of independence\, industrialization\, development and complex political shifts. The exhibition offers a moving visual experience through which to understand and appreciate Korean history\, culture\, and the art s. The debut of this exhibition at The Korea Society in New York in Septem ber 2012 was the first time these black-and-white photographs had been exh ibited in the United States. This exhibition is presented by The Korea Soc iety and independent curator Chang Jae Lee with generous loans from the Do ng Gang Museum of Photography in Korea and the estates of Kim Kichan and L ee Hyungrok.

Kirtan is an ancient tradi tion of call-and-response chanting\, which uses the musical repetition of sacred sounds\, known as mantras\, to still the mind and awaken the spirit . Together we will explore the beauty of devotion -- to ourselves\, to eac h other\, to the divine. If you've tried quiet sitting meditation but foun d it difficult or uncomfortable\, kirtan may be just the remedy for you! B y repeating the mantras together in a communal setting we are able to achi eve the same peace and clarity that all other mindfulness practices offer\ , but in a less structured\, more joyous way.

Bob Duff and Repre sentative Larry Cafero for their support in garnering this important grant .”
\n\n
\n\n Currently\, this National Historic Landmark can not host a considerable portion of our population as many areas of the Mus eum are currently inaccessible to the disabled and parents with strollers\ , due to lack of proper ramps and an elevator.

\n\n
\n< p>\n The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion is known around the world as one the mos t significant examples of Victorian Era architecture. Built between 1864-6 8 as a summer residence by railroad tycoon LeGrand Lockwood\, a treasurer of the New York Stock Exchange and renowned art collector. Lockwood\, one of America’s first millionaire financiers\, subsequently lost his fortune in the stock market crash of 1869. Charles D. Mathews acquired it in 1876. This well-to-do New York dynasty took full-time residence in the 30-acre Norwalk estate from the late 19th century through the Great Depression. I t remained in the Mathews family until 1941 when the city purchased it for use as a park.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n The State Historic Pr eservation Office Historic Restoration Fund most generously provides the f unding that permits the Museum to be wholly accessible to the public allow ing for the expansion of the visitor groups and programming of the Museum’ s full facility. … all sixty-two rooms!” noted Trustee Susan Sweit zer.

The images are selected to function like icons of nature that provide a relief\, a r emembrance\, and an aspiration for the viewer. Devine\, who paints in bot h oil and watercolor\, has spent his life traveling the shoreline and coun tryside of Nova Scotia documenting his experiences along the way. His exh ibition at THE GALLERY marks his southeastern Connecticut debut showcasing his massive original artworks measuring from six-feet to two-feet in leng th.

\n\n
\n< p>\n Peter Devine divides his time between his studio in Nova Scotia and h ome in New York City. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Unive rsity of Connecticut\, concentrating his study with Anthony Terenzio. From Terenzio he was introduced to the intoxicating color of Bonnard and the l imitless possibilities offered by the abstract expressionists.\n\n
\n\n After graduating\, he taught studio art and art history at Mi tchell College in New London\, Connecticut. He then decided to return to h is studies\, and was awarded a graduate fellowship at Arizona State Univer sity where he received a Master of Fine Arts in painting. He went back to teaching\, and was appointed head of the art department at The Woodstock Country School in Vermont\, before moving on to teach design and figure dr awing at the University of Connecticut.
\n\n
\n\n Devine now dedicates himself entirely to painting. In addition to winning a number o f artist grants\, he has exhibited from New York to California\, most rece ntly at Noel Fine Art in Bronxville\, New York. His work is in private col lections throughout the United States and Europe. Though his style has gro wn from pure abstraction to representational landscapes\, it is the underl ying power of abstraction and the expressive power of content that guide h is work.

\n\n Sundays\, 1-4 p.m.
\n\n 4 Week Session: May 12–June 9< /b>
\n\n Materials included\, preregistration required.
\n\n\n Construct a bag\, hat\, mi ttens or vessel with the wet felting technique\; learn a seamless one-piec e technique and how to shape your project\, and most importantly\, learn h ow to configure just how much the felting will shrink your creation. Incor porate designs and additions to embellish your work\, you can make it whim sical or geometric. Learn to make wool “ropes” for handles and garlands. A lso explore the “Nuno Felting” technique\, which uses an open weave fabric (gauze) as a ground for the wool to attach. Laminating the fabric with wo ol enables the final product to be light and gossamer with lots of texture and design qualities. It is a wonderful way to make wearable garments suc h as scarves or shawls. Its translucent qualities also make it perfect for window treatments.

As her sophomore album\, Tambourine\, was followed by Another Country and See You on the Moon\, Merritt found acclaim coming not just from critics and a wards orgs but her own heroes\, like Emmylou Harris\, who marveled that Me rritt “stood out like a diamond in a coal patch.” Now a leading lady in he r own right\, Merritt is hardly one to hog the spotlight. She engages in d ialogue with fellow artists of all disciplines on her public radio broadca st and podcast “The Spark With Tift Merritt\,” bringing in fellow sojourne rs ranging from Patty Griffin and Rosanne Cash to Rick Moody and Nick Horn by (who devoted a chapter to Merritt in his 31 Songs book).

By his 60th birthd ay he had reached a celebrity status previously reserved for presidents\, generals\, and barn burning preachers. Ernest Hemingway said “all American literature comes from one book…by Mark Twain…Huckleberry Finn.” He was th e “toast of the town” in Europe as well as at home and responded to this n otoriety by speaking and lecturing worldwide.
\n\n All of Twain’s books are still i n print today and continue to attract readers by the millions\, yet it is his speaking prowess-- his cutting critiques\, astute observations\, tall tales\, and humorous antidotes\, delivered with that mid western drawl and perfect timing\, that epitomize the man…the Super Star.

\n\n Don&r squo\;t let the tide take you by surprise. Inventor Alan Winick&rsquo\;s w himsical &ldquo\;tidepieces\,&rdquo\; which will be on sale Sunday\, June 2\, during the Westport Historical Society&rsquo\;s 22nd annual &ldquo\;Hi dden Garden Tour&rdquo\; celebration\, will keep you apprised of the daily ebb and flow.
\n\n Winick&rsquo\;s creations &ndash\; no\, they&rsq uo\;re not your grandfather&rsquo\;s tide clocks &ndash\; are just some of the many products that will be displayed during the all-day Garden Market place on Veterans Green next to the Historical Society\, 25 Avery Place.\n
\n In all\, some two dozen vendors will be set up from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. selling plants\, garden tools and accessories\, jewelry\, lavender-sc ented pillows\, beach blankets and apparel\, olive oils\, antiques and mor e.
\n\n The tour itself will feature five gardens\, three in Westpor t and two in Wilton. The locations of the gardens are not announced until the morning of the event\, according to Kathy Winter\, coordinator for the event.
\n\n &ldquo\;We lived and died by the tide\,&rdquo\; remembe rs Winick of the days when he lived at Saugatuck Shores. &ldquo\;Everyone needed a tide clock.&rdquo\;
\n\n But most of them were boring\, the inventor adds\, which can&rsquo\;t be said of his handmade creations\, wh ich stand almost a foot tall and include &ldquo\;amusing graphic depiction s&rdquo\; just above the clock face itself. One shows a sunbather under an umbrella on a beach\; as the tide goes out\, the water recedes to reveal a stunning sandcastle with towers.
\n\n Downtown store owner Kimberl y Cole of KC Westport\, 68 Church Lane\, will have a table of bikinis and sandals plus duvets\, quilts\, sheets and pillowcases from the collection of Laguna Beach designer Kerry Cassill.
\n\n All the articles in Cas sill&rsquo\;s line\, which includes summery tops\, are cut from &ldquo\;lu xury weight Indian fabrics&rdquo\; made by a family in India.
\n\n C ole says the things she sells are a few of &ldquo\;my favorites things&rdq uo\; and that the store&rsquo\;s offerings &ldquo\;keep evolving.&rdquo\;< /p>\n
\n Her little shop could pass for a designer creation itself. The interior includes a display table and cases built by her husband Charlie\, who directs TV commercials. Hanging from the ceiling is a light with an a rtistic cardboard shade\, also made by Charlie. The shade is covered in fo il that has been painted to give a patina effect. \; \; \;&nb sp\;
\n\n Ticketholders for the Hidden Garden Tour will see firsthan d how the owners of showplace plantings have coped with such challenges as climate change\, this year&rsquo\;s late spring and the devastation from Irene and Sandy. The gardens were created in several styles\, some informa l\, others high concept.
\n\n One covers part of a sloping\, four-ac re property first occupied by a house dating to the 1740s. The home has be en expanded over the years\, and the current owner has added color-dappled \, terraced beds reminiscent of gardens she visited in England.
\n\n The terrace walls\, as well as the stone work for a fish pond near the ga rden shed\, were built by her father\, a stone mason. \;
\n\n T he blooms are mainly blues\, pinks\, whites and purples in varying texture s\, with some oranges and reds as accents. Bird houses\, trellises\, fount ains and rain barrels dot the garden\, which &ldquo\;is designed to be att ractive spring\, summer and fall.&rdquo\;
\n\n Other stops on the to ur are:
\n\n &bull\; A property that was once home to a Christmas tr ee farm and now boasts stunning beds of iris and peonies\, a pool circled by weeping hornbeam and Japanese maples\, and a knockout display of climbi ng roses.
\n\n &bull\; An English garden set in a glade of specimen trees and shrubs\, with a brook running through it. This magical landscape features a large birdcage gazebo\, terraced &ldquo\;rooms&rdquo\; of pere nnials and annuals\, and a walled\, fountain-fed rose garden. \;
\n &bull\; A sunken sculpture garden surrounded by Rose of Sharon\, Fre nch lilacs\, hydrangea and roses. Before entering this dramatic amphitheat er\, which sits behind the home\, facing a pool and tennis courts\, visito rs pass an Egyptian figure\, a vintage white flower cart and a gathering o f birdcages.
\n\n &bull\; Six rolling acres of former farmland whose bounty now includes groves of specimen trees and conifers\, orchards\, te rraced vegetable beds\, an Asian garden and meditation garden\, all in arb oretum-style rooms. Recently\, a formal garden inspired by Versailles&rsqu o\; Trianon Palace sprouted on this formally arranged property. \;
\n\n The Garden Tour and Marketplace will be followed by a Toast the T our party at Gilbertie&rsquo\;s Herb Gardens in Westport from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be wine\, food and music during bidding at silent and liv e auctions. Tickets are $50. There is no admission charge for the marketpl ace.
\n\n The Toast will take place in a sunny\, half-acre display g arden with a large vine-covered pergola made of rustic timbers. In the eve nt of rain\, it will move under glass into an adjacent greenhouse.

It has a c lose relationship with nature as it teaches us how to select foods that re spond to the body&rsquo\;s natural rhythm thus restoring health and bringi ng about deep physical and emotional healing.
\n\n The practice of w hole-food nutrition follows an ancient tradition that divides life into fi ve seasons: summer\, late summer\, autumn\, winter\, and spring. Each seas on has many aspects\; among them is a symbolic color\, a representative el ement such as wood\, earth or metal\, specific tastes and foods that are r ecommended for that season\, the organs that are best supported by those f oods\, and appropriate cooking methods for that time of year. By following this tradition\, we not only become tuned into our own bodies but also se nsitized to the healing properties of nature.
\n\n In the fi
ve week hands-on learning course you will learn: (no class July 4

\n - the fundamental components of a healthy diet and nutrition&n
bsp\; \; \; \; -which foods bring harmony to your body and whi

folk and other roots-music sounds they loved as kids into their own evoca
tive sound and twining their voices in the sort of high-lonesome harmony b
lend for which sibling singers are often renowned. While that&rsquo\;s not
a terribly unusual story\, the Wood Brothers took a twisty path to their
ultimate collaboration. Indeed\, they pursued separate projects for some 1
5 years before joining forces.
\n
\n You wouldn&rsquo\;
t necessarily gather this fact from listening to Smoke Ring Halo (Southern
Ground)\, the duo&rsquo\;s third full-length album &ndash\; their musical
chemistry has never felt more profound. Oliver Wood (guitar\, vocals) and
Chris Wood (bass\, vocals\, harmonica) refine their rich\, spacious sound
on songs like the rousing opener &ldquo\;Mary Anna\,&rdquo\; the back-por
ch-funky &ldquo\;Shoofly Pie\,&rdquo\; the waltz-time plaint &ldquo\;Pay A
ttention\,&rdquo\; the elegiac title track\, the gospel-inflected &ldquo\;
Made It Up the Mountain&rdquo\; and more.
\n Tabatha Coffey\, star of Bravo&rsquo\;s Salon Takeover and author of &ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s Not Abou t the Hair&rdquo\;\, is coming to your town and we would like to get you i nvolved. With her signature style of straight talk and respected business expertise\, Tabatha has created a show that distills the best of both her TV persona and lessons from her real life. Tabatha invites you to join her and find your life&rsquo\;s passions and how to connect to this and make it come alive. Through interactive experienced aimed at getting attendees inside the way Tabatha thinks and does things. People will leave the show both elevated and enabled to use these skills in their lives and businesse s.

Cold Blood is o ne of the original R&B horn bands from the late 60's/ early 70's that exem plified the 'East Bay Grease' melding of funk & rock with blues and jazz e lements. Lydia and the band debuted when the Fillmore was at its peak as o ne of the nation's musical Meccas. Owner Bill Graham was so impressed with Lydia's voice and the sound of the band that he immediately signed Cold B lood to his new record label. During the span of six original late-60's\, early-70's albums\, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood helped\, along with Tower O f Power\, forge their own specific brand of funk/soul and R&B which came t o be known as East Bay Grease. That music still holds up today\, proving t hat great music is timeless and will continue to inspire generations to co me. Lydia Pense and Cold Blood packed the San Francisco Ballrooms in their heyday\, but that was then and this is now. In the now\, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood still fill halls with cheering\, dancing\, foot-stomping fans. Far from fading over the years\, Cold Blood has flourished.

\n
Mark Twain’s Hartford home was d
esigned to showcase the talent and extravagant lifestyle of the author and
his family who lived inside its walls. It was intended to be a showplace
of taste\, wealth\, and luxury. In 1881\, Twain hired Louis C. Tiffany & C
o.\, Associated Artists to create interiors that would match the opulent e
xterior of his home. Tiffany and his partners—Candace Wheeler\, Lockwood D
eForest\, and Samuel Coleman—embellished the public spaces of Twain’s home
with exotic motifs from far off regions of the world.
\n
\n\n Learn why Twain called the Assoc iated Artists the “unholy decorators\,” discover the meaning behind the de sign choices made by the family\, and learn how the Clemens’s interiors fi ts into the wider scope of work done by Louis C. Tiffany & Co. and his des igners\, all while taking a visual tour of the splendor still to be found in the Clemens’ restored home.

\n\n One of England’s most outrageous and flamboyant bands comes to our stage\, live and on fire. Led by singer Richard Butler and his bro ther Tim on bass guitar\, the Psychedelic Furs rose from the British post- punk scene. Their music went through several phases\, from an initially au stere art rock sound\, later touching on new wave and now having evolved i nto more of an edgy pop rock sound.
\n\n They scored several hits in their early ca reer\, but were launched to international attention in 1986 when the film director John Hughes used their song 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly recorded version of the song became the Psychedelic Fu rs' biggest hit to that time.

a three-course gourmet meal prepared with the ingredients we harvested. Yo

\n\n This production is a benefit for the Norfolk Historical Soc iety
\n\n To mark the 130th anniversary of Norfolk’s Village Hall\, now known as In finity Music Hall\, Gilbert & Sullivan returns to the stage with a special concert performance of The Mikado by New York’s renowned Blue Hill Troupe . This is Gilbert & Sullivan’s first return to Infinity Hall since 1884 wh en the hall was dedicated with a performance of Pinafore. The Mikado comes to the Infinity Hall stage as a benefit for the Norfolk Historical Societ y which is celebrating the history of Infinity Hall this summer in a speci al exhibition: ““Village Hall to Infinity Hall: 130 Years of Culture\, Com merce and Community.”
\n\n Considered by many to be the gem of the Gilbert & Sulliv an canon\, The Mikado is an irresistible concoction of rapturous melody\, witty satire\, and exotic locale\, peopled with unforgettable characters. There's Ko-Ko\, the newly appointed Lord High Executioner\, baffled by the logistics of having to execute himself before he can dispatch the other n ames on his 'little list.' Pooh-Bah\, with his inflated ego\, distinguishe d ancestry and readily crossed palm\, is Lord High Everything Else. Nanki- Poo\, the handsome son of the Mikado\, is on the lam disguised as a questi onably proficient second trombonist\, pursuing his secret passion for the aptly named Yum-Yum. She\, a model of Japanese schoolgirl perfection\, has mastered the art of flirting—if only flirting were not a crime punishable by death. Katisha\, breathtakingly ugly (save her famous left shoulder-bl ade)\, is a formidable noblewoman who has set her sights on Nanki-Poo. Whe n the Mikado arrives on the scene\, it's up to him to sort out the romanti c entanglements and assign punishments to fit the crimes. Don't miss the 8 9 year-old Blue Hill Troupe's ninth production of this classic!

\n\n From the band that’s been both accurately an d inaccurately labeled just about everything this side of Top 40 comes a t rue-to-form rock-n-roll record. Scratch that\, true-to-form is not Deer Ti ck’s style. Let’s start over…
\n\n Naturally\, after so many years o f critics praising [and making fun of] them for their “folk” and “country” sounds and hardly ever mentioning the fact that they’ve also recorded vir tually dozens of other kinds of music\, the band wanted to make a record t hat was truer to their live set (which has gained some notoriety): raw\, l oud\, heartfelt\, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the res t of the music industry is up to.
\n\n To produce this record\, the band recruited the team of Adam Landry and Justin Collins\, who produced M cCauley’s side-project Middle Brother’s debut album. The results are unlik e anything you’ve heard on a Deer Tick album\, but Deer Tick achieves some thing that is a lot more accurate to their live sound. Distorted guitars a re aplenty\, guitarist Ian O’Neil and drummer Dennis Ryan take lead vocal duties for the first time on record. Man\, you can practically smell the s weat and the beer! Shit\, you may even hear a guitar or two break somewher e in there! It’s got a little Exile\, it’s got a little In Utero\, it’s go t a little Nilsson Schmilsson\, but it’s 100% Deer-Fucking-Tick in their p urest\, and most carefree form… perhaps that’s because this is the first r ecord they’ve recorded in their home state of Rhode Island… GAH!!! No need to over-think this shit!!! Moving on…

Hailed for their quick wit\, technical virtuosity\, and visceral movement style\, Ms. Miller's works embody fear less physicality. Ms. Miller was the 2011 recipient of Wesleyan's Mariam M cGlone Emerging Choreographer Award.
\n\n
\n\n At Wesleyan\, Gallim Dance will perform the New England premiere of 'Mama Call' (2011)\ , and 'Pupil Suite' (2010)\, which had been postponed from their original engagement in February 2013.
\n\n
\n\n 'Mama Call' has its r oots in Andrea Miller’s Sephardic-American heritage. The work explores ide as of displacement and alienation as it affected Spanish Jews during the c enturies surrounding the Inquisition. Ms. Miller adapts the Sephardic stor y into a contemporary and more universal tale of border-crossing. 'Mama Ca ll' investigates the idea of how those who have been displaced rescue the idea of 'home.'
\n\n
\n\n 'Pupil Suite' is an exhilarating s
election of wildly quirky excerpts from Ms. Miller’s crowd-pleasing work '
I Can See Myself in Your Pupil.' Performed to the contagious music of Isra
eli band Balkan Beat Box\, the dance is a joyous romp that plays with the
madness of imagination and the ecstasy of movement.
\n
\n ' Sexy\, reckless and edgy as hell\, this performance [is as] exciting as hi gh art can get.'

\n\n Lay Low
\n\n LAY LOW is the alter-ego of Icel andic singer/songwriter Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir.
\n\n Born in London to a Sr i Lankan father and Icelandic mother\, LAY LOW’s musical abilities stretch as far as her geographical heritage. Starting out as a pianist and bass g uitar player\; she has jammed on keyboards and synthesizers with Benny Cre spo’s Gang\, found her voice in blues folk and a little honky tonk bop col laborating with producers such as Liam Watson. Although her new material i s taking on a new trip hop twist\, LAY LOW’s distinct musical journey can still be felt at its roots\, producing a honed yet experimental sound that is all her own.
\n\n Vocally LAY LOW combines a rich chocolate sound with a sweet
cinnamon rasp and a sip of whisky to take the edge off. Her live shows hav
e seen her reach round and hug a room of 200 people using only her voice i
n acapella. Seeing LAY LOW perform is unique\, musically playful\, she spi
ns new yarns out of her songs\, exudes warmth and radiates sincerity that
amounts to a profoundly personal experience.
Sóley
\n “Iceland’s new dark pop princess.” MTV Iggy
\n\n Iceland’s Soley Stefansdottir\, or just Soley\, has caused quite a stir in 2012. Since her first solo release ‘Theater Isl and EP’ in 2010 and the follow-up album ‘We Sink’ in 2011\, she has built an international reputation and devoted fanbase with her delicate melodies and beautifully dark lyrics. The soundtrack to lucid dreams and childhood nightmares\, Soley wouldn’t be out of place in the dark fairytale world o f Tim Burton.
\n\n Studying classical piano as a youngster and writing music as a t eenager\, she entered Icelandic Art Academy in 2007. It was during this ti me that she sang and played with Icelandic favourites Seabear and Sin Fang . Her output as a solo artist was greeted almost immediately with feverish enthusiasm. At home her album and EP scored top marks and rave reviews in Iceland’s biggest newspapers plus nominations in Icelandic Music Awards. Her recent musical contribution to Icelandic theater production ‘Breaking News’\, a portrayal in puppetry of our modern obsession with the media\, w as received with huge critical acclaim.
\n\n Internationally she has received prais e from tastemaker bloggers and mavens and is started to breakthrough into a wider consciousness – she recently won MTV Iggy’s Artist of the Week. So ley continues to build an extraordinary buzz online through YouTube and Fa cebook\, with music lovers around the world claiming her as their discover y.
\n\n < strong style='margin:0px\;padding:0px\;vertical-align:baseline\;'>Svavar K nútur
\n\n Minimalist Icelandic Singer/songwriter Svavar Knútur follows i n the footsteps of such simple but elegant songwriters as Nick Drake\, Bon nie 'Prince' Billy and Kris Kristofferson\, by preferring simplicity and s erenity in his personal style.
\n\n A bit of a clash with the traditional modern ic elandic style of busy arrangements and flowery pop\, Svavar's simple\, but elegant\, performances conjures up feelings of beautiful solitude and gra ce. A feeling of happiness through adversity.
\n\n Svavar Knútur has in the recent years seen his star steadily rise both in Iceland and abroad\, playing aro und the world to growing success. Svavar has played at SXSW and NXNE music and film festivals and also made an appearance on BBC world service.
\n Svavar is also the first recipient of the Icelandic Anna Pálína Árnadóttir memorial award for folk music excellence in Iceland.
