Messages In Bottles

The Nyack Library and Edward Hopper House invite you to join us for a conversation with curator Richard Kendall and artist Alastair Noble as they discuss the "Message in a Bo(a)ttle" exhibition, and Noble's career. .
Alastair Noble has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. His practice is a response to architecture and the natural environment and investigates particular sites in the context of literature, poetry or philosophical texts of authors such as; Mallarme, Marinetti, Mayakovsky, Wittgenstein. The Library of Babel and On the Exactitude of Science by Jorge Luis Borges have been the subjects of his recent projects. The latter text he transposed into a series of environmental interventions entitled Mapping Arcadia. These are investigations into alternative methods of mapping the landscape. Additionally, he writes on sculpture and architecture for international sculpture magazines and journals. He has taught and lectured at numerous colleges and universities where he has organized symposia on the role of Public Sculpture.

​Richard Kendall  is an English art historian and curator who has written widely on Impressionism and particularly the work of Edgar Degas. After study at the Courtauld Institute he became Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University from 1974 to 1987, and curated the exhibitions ‘Degas; Images of Women’ at Tate Liverpool in 1989; ‘Degas Landscapes’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 1993; and ‘Degas: Beyond Impressionism’ at the National Gallery, London, in 1996. After moving to the USA in 2000, he worked with Jill DeVonyar on the exhibitions ‘Degas and the Dance’ in 2002-02 and ‘Degas and the Ballet: Picturing Movement’ at the Royal Academy in 2011. After joining the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as Curator-at- Large, he curated among other exhibitions, ‘Picasso Looks at Degas’ (2010), and ‘Van Gogh and Nature’ (2105). He is now an independent scholar.

Mark Dery:
Born to be Posthumous

The Nyack Library and Edward Hopper House invite you to join us for a conversation with critic, essayist, author and lecturer Mark Dery, as he discusses his recent book, Born to be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey, the first full-length biography of the artist, writer, stage designer, playwright, and legendary eccentric.
Gorey, who died in 2000 at 75, was the unequaled master of—of what? Gothic whimsy? Camp macabre? Existential black comedy in the Firbankian mode? Essentially unclassifiable, he was, at the end of the day (and it’s always twilight, in Gorey’s stories), simply, inimitably Edwardian. His influence reverberates in the novels of Lemony Snicket and Ransom Riggs, the movies of Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro, the fashion of Anna Sui and Kambriel, the graphic novels of Alison Bechdel, Sue Grafton’s bestselling “Alphabet Series” of mystery novels (inspired by Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies), the annual Edwardian Ball (an exercise in steampunk-goth cosplay inspired in part by Gorey’s work), and the fantasy lives of numberless fans who would live, if they could, in his obsessively crosshatched, amusingly lugubrious little worlds.

Let's Talk MILTON GLASER

Join us for a conversation with local design guru Ken Carbone as he interviews graphic artist/illustrator, Barbara Nessim, a close friend of Milton Glaser, who worked side by side with him in the early 1960's. Ken will share his perspective about Milton's professional influence on design while Barbara will discuss how she knew Milton personally.  

Ken Carbone is a designer, artist, musician, author, and teacher. For more then 40 years, he has been the Creative Director and Artist-in-Residence for the internationally renowned design firm Carbone Smolan Agency, which he co-founded in New York City in 1977. Ken is the author of The Virtuoso: Face to Face with 40 Extraordinary Talents. He is also the co-author of "Dialog": What Makes a Great Design Partnership, which celebrates his collaboration with Leslie Smolan. He is a professor at the School of Visual Arts, and a blogger for Fast Company and Huffington Post. He received the 2014 AIGA Medal in recognition of his contributions to the field of design and visual communication.
 
A Bronx native, Barbara Nessim graduated from Pratt where she studied Graphic Art and Illustration. As a young, single, professional woman in the early 1960s, her career as an illustrator broke conventions of all sorts. With the encouragement and support of several key people, in particular Robert Weaver, Nessim’s professor at Pratt, she soon caught the attention of Milton Glaser, among others, who welcomed the much junior Nessim into their circle. The lengthy and impressive list of publications in which her illustrations have appeared include, New York Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, Essence Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, Ms. Magazine, Print Magazine, Savvy, and Working Women.

HOPPER & EUROPE

Edward Hopper is renowned for paintings of American towns and landscapes, but his trips to Europe were crucial to this achievement. Visiting Paris as a young man, he studied Impressionist works by Monet, Degas and others, and would often recall them in his own paintings. Guest lecturer Richard Kendall,  a former curator for the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA, specializes in Degas and 19th century artists.
