<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A LECTURE BY WILLIAM SEATON</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sunday, May 24, 2015, 2:00pm</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In Seligmann's Studio at the Seligmann Center</span><br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Join us Sunday, May 24 for William Seaton's free public lecture on "The Fetish of Primitivism in Twentieth Century Art."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seaton is a poet, translator, and critic who has long been involved in the avant-garde both as a participating artist and as a scholar. As an artist he performed in happenings in the 60s and during the 70s worked with the Cloud House group in San Francisco. More recently he has produced a series of evenings of performance art under the title Surreal Cabaret. In the role of scholar he is the author of <i>Dada Poetry: an Introduction</i>, and he has spoken on the concept of the avant-garde in talks presented by the Apocalypse, Millenarism, New Boundaries Conference, the New York College English Association, the New York Council for the Humanities, and the SUNY New Paltz German Department.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though the impact of what was once called “primitive” art on Cubists, Dadaists, Surrealists, and other modern artists is well-known, it was rarely a matter of simple influence. Seaton will provide a sketch of the significance of primitivism to artists and writers and will examine in particular their relations in the formation of the ideas of the modern and the avant-garde. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The event will be held in what had been the studio of Surrealist Kurt Seligmann who like many of his circle was fascinated with the art of oral cultures. </span><br />

Finding virtually no public literary scene in Orange County, he began Poetry on the Loose in December of 1993 at the Zukabee Gallery in an old furniture factory on Mill Street in Middletown. Posting signs around town as publicity, he attracted over fifty people</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to the first reading. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That night he greeted the audience, saying, “Welcome to Poetry on the Loose. This is poetry off the printed page, out of the library and the classroom, poetry in the air.” Anecdotes of that early period are posted on his blog at <a href="http://williamseaton.blogspot.com/2011/09/poetry-on-loose.html"><span class="s1">http://williamseaton.blogspot.com/2011/09/poetry-on-loose.html</span></a>. Since then the readings have moved several times, for several years to Warwick and then to the Seligmann Center in Sugar Loaf. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The original concept was to emphasize multi-media, experimental, and performance-based work, and indeed, poets have included dance, music, and theatrical elements with their words, though readers have frequently presented their work conventionally from behind a lectern. Over the years a great many local poets have been featured as well as visiting writers from across the country and abroad. In accordance with the series slogan “The door is open wide,” readers have included men and women, gay and straight, old and young, dropouts and university professors, composers of free verse and of sonnets. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Seaton’s words, “A reading offers an opportunity for neighbors to share their visions, wit, rants, and lyric moments face to face in an uncommodified setting. The excitement, refreshment, and enlightenment audiences experience is a far cry from the robotized sensation that arises after watching television. I don’t mind ending the series now because there are dozens of other poetry venues all through the Hudson Valley. As I said in the introduction to our short-lived journal <i>The Wawayanda Review</i>, ‘May the rose bloom and the thistle and the orchid and the dandelion, too!’”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

When the Seligmanns came to New York in 1939 they left the paintings behind in their Paris apartment. Although they planned to eventually return to Paris to live, they never did, instead remaining on their homestead in Sugar Loaf, now home to the Seligmann Center. Over the course of decades many of their friends lived in their Paris apartment, among them Man Ray, Wolfgang Paalen, Isamu Noguchi, and Stanley Cohen. When the apartment faced water damage, Stanley Cohen moved these three works to his friend Alexander Calder’s apartment in Paris, where they remained for some time. Now, decades later, thanks to Stanley Cohen, these works have followed the Seligmanns home.<br /><br />STEPHEN ROBESON MILLER has written extensively on Kurt Seligmann’s life and career. A curator and scholar specializing in Surrealism, he is co-author and co-curator of “Double Solitaire: The Surreal Worlds of Kay Sage & Yves Tanguy,” in which he examines the intersection of the two artists' lives and work.</span><br />

Guccione infused social realism, cubism, surrealism and abstraction with her own indefinable and audacious style, creating an independent mythology and challenging social conventions in her art and life. Women populate her canvases in wonderland environments, alongside animals, architecture, and fantastical landscapes, at times hinting to world events, other times mystic explorations. The writer and poet Anais Nin said of Juanita, “Few people can paint the world of our dreams with as much magic, precision and clarity.” Guccione’s work continued to evolve and elude the interpretations of critics worldwide – ultimately to her peril, as her name and art fell into relative obscurity. </span></div>
<div class="p17">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p16">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The art critic Michael Welzenbach of the Washington Post writes that Guccione’s “single-minded approach to her work, [her] willingness to follow its development wherever that might lead…locates [her] squarely among the few but formidable ranks of the modernist avant-garde – a group whose integrity and vision will not be seen again in this century.”</span><br />

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="color: #777777; padding-left: 0px;" valign="TOP"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leif Vollebekk spent two years searching for perfect takes. This search took him from his home in Montreal to a studio in Manhattan, from a farmhouse in Woodstock, NY to a mansion outside Paris, and the result is a dusty, polished, new, old record called North Americana.<br /><br />"I wrote the songs, I found the best band in the world, and then all I had to do was find the right studio, for the right take," he says. "And it took forever."<br /><br />After his 2010 debut, Vollebekk knew the kind of album he wanted to make next: a record like the ones he loves by Gillian Welch or Ryan Adams, that feel old and familiar even when they're new. But also a record that speaks to the listener through its lyrics, with songs "that can hold up in a storm," that are packed full of perfect little mistakes. So he started writing. Ten new songs, the best he had ever written, with lines about love and the end of love, about journeys and homecoming, about the death of friends and drinking yourself dry. Now Vollebekk laughs: "I thought the record was done when I was finished writing the songs. 'All we need to do is record it!'" But when you're searching for the perfect take, recording is no small task. It happened only piece by piece, session by session, song by song, over the course of seasons.<br /><br />The players were these: Vollebekk, singing, playing guitar and piano, harmonica, rusty fiddle on "When the Subway Comes Above the Ground"; the jazz musicians Hans Bernhard (bass) and Philippe Melanson (drums). "I wanted to be able to roam with them wherever I go," Vollebekk says. Arcade Fire's Sarah Neufeld played violin, arranging her own parts. Joe Grass played pedal steel, and Adam Kinner played tenor sax.<br /><br />The heart of the songs were always recorded live, to tape. Old school, spontaneous, one real captured moment. To find these moments, they travelled. To Montreal's legendary Hotel 2 Tango studio, working with Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Coeur de Pirate, Godspeed You! Black Emperor). To New York City, working with Tom Gloady (Ryan Adams, Sigur Rós, Patti Smith). To La Frette studios, in La Frette-sur-Seine, France. And then back to Montreal, for one song at Breakglass studios. Vollebekk even tried recording with John Simon, the producer whose credits include Music from Big Pink and Songs of Leonard Cohen. At his home in upstate New York, Simon listened to "Cairo Blues," then travelled up to Montreal to record it. "There was just not a good take," Vollebekk says. "I ended up doing it a few months later, again at the Hotel, between takes of something else and that's just how it went." North Americana took years. "All this time," Vollebekk says, "trying to get one take." But the result is a beautiful, alive, human shambling ballads, noisy folk songs, vivid portraits of a 27-year-old's watercolour life. "I feel like I created a record from 1970something that no one's heard before," Vollebekk says.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Juanita Guccione (1904-1999) is one such artist whose work--and life--mirrored the radically creative and philosophical underpinnings of Surrealism. After a childhood in Massachusetts and Brooklyn, Guccione became a fashion model in New York City in the 1920s; rather than falling into the romantic role of 'muse,' she studied at the Art Students League before venturing to France, Italy and Greece, supporting herself through portrait commissions. From there she sailed to Egypt, eventually settling in 1931 in Bou Saada, an artists' colony in Algeria, amongst the Ouled Nail tribe. Traveling among Bedouin nomads in the Sahara, she produced a diverse oeuvre of portraits and landscapes that in1935 would be exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, alongside works by Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. After the birth of her son in 1934, Guccione returned to New York, designing murals with David Alfaro-Siqueiros for the Works Progress Administration and studying for seven years with Hans Hofman. Guccione infused social realism, cubism, surrealism and abstraction with her own indefinable and audacious style, creating an independent mythology and challenging social conventions in her art and life. Women populate her canvases in wonderland environments, alongside animals, architecture, and fantastical landscapes, at times hinting to world events, other times mystic explorations. The writer and poet Anais Nin said of Juanita, "Few people can paint the world of our dreams with as much magic, precision and clarity." Guccione's work continued to evolve and elude the interpretations of critics worldwide-- ultimately to her peril, as her name and art fell into relative obscurity. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The art critic Michael Welzenbach of the Washington Post writes that Guccione's "single-minded approach to her work, (her) willingness to follow its development wherever that might lead...locates (her) squarely among the few but formidable ranks of the modernist avant-garde--a group whose integrity and vision will not be seen again in this century."</span></div>

Aberth wrote the first monograph on the artist Leonora Carrington, <i>Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art (2010)</i>, and is currently writing for the upcoming monograph of Juanita Guccione. Susan is recognized for her research in the fields of women artists and the Surrealist movement, as well as all Latin American art. She received her PhD in Art History from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and is currently an Associate Professor of Art History at Bard College.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Seligmann Center at the Orange County Citizens
Foundation is an artist-run center located on the 50-acre rural homestead of Swiss-American
Surrealist Kurt Seligmann (1900-1962) and his wife Arlette (Wildenstein Paraf)
Seligmann (1906-1992). The Seligmann Center is committed to presenting
readings, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, performances, and interdisciplinary
works by emerging and established artists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Founded in 2010 by the Orange County Citizens Foundation and
a group of artists, the Seligmann Center offers several unique<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>exhibition and performance spaces<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>in its converted farmhouse buildings
and throughout its grounds. In July 2014 the Center dedicated the Robert Fagan
Art Library, the largest public collection of art books in the county. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Center is located about 50 miles northwest of New
York City in a vibrant rural area of Orange County in the village of Sugar
Loaf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The history of the site is
palpable—Max Ernst<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>slept in the
Guest House; Marcel Duchamp shot five bullets into the barn foundation;
Alexander Calder pulled prints from the very same press that is still in use
today, and others, including Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Peggy Guggenheim, and Meyer
Schapiro, spent time on the property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In its four years the Seligmann Center has presented works by such
notable artists as Robert Whitman, Hiroaki Sato, Jacob Kirkegaard, Katinka Fogh
Vindelev, Philip Pearlstein, Chaim Gross, Forrest Myers, Cy Twombly, and Lynne
Sharon Schwartz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Seligmann
Center honors the Seligmann’s tradition of bringing people together and
welcomes the new, presenting contemporary work that enriches, challenges, and
connects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Sathu'; font-size: 16.000000pt;">ROBERT FAGAN
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Robert Fagan was a writer, poet, and independent scholar in literature and art history. His
poetry and writings were published widely in literary journals including </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Partisan Review, Another
Chicago Magazine, Witness, The Quarterly, Frank </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Stand. </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Four volumes of his work have been
published by Red Moon Press: </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Stepping Out, </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">a collection of poetry, two collections of stories
</span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Peaceable Kingdoms and Other Fictions </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Lost Cities and Found Objects </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Pieces, </span><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">a collection of poetry,
fiction, and criticism.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Robert was an active member of an informal group of poets and writers, who met weekly for
more than twenty years to read and discuss each other’s writings. His commitment to art and
poetry led him to collaborate with other writers, notably Carol Emswiller and Hiroake Sato.
As an independent scholar of art history, Robert’s encyclopedic knowledge and boundless
interests encompassed all of world art from prehistoric sculpture to works by contemporary
artists. This wide interest is reflected in the extensive art library his family has donated to the
Seligmann Center.

Whitehead, focusing on the use of three rhetorical devices (asyndeton, polysyndeton and anaphora). Participants will examine examples in published poems and then compose a new poem practicing the conscious use of the devices.<br /><br />Whitehead is a poet, teacher, painter and crossword constructor. His third collection of poems, <i>A Glossary of Chickens</i>, was published by Princeton University Press in 2013. His previous books include <i>Measuring Cubits while the Thunder Claps</i> and <i>The Velocity of Dust</i>. He has also authored three chapbooks of poetry, two of which were winners of national competitions. He is recipient of writing awards including a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and the Pearl Hogrefe Fellowship at Iowa State University. His poems have appeared widely, most notably in <i>The New Yorker</i>.<br /><br /><br /><b>Reading (3:30pm start): </b><br /><i>Poetry on the Loose</i> presents a reading by poet Patricia Kett. Kett is a retired registered nurse for whom writing has been love, work, obsession, play, and escape for over sixty years. Her poetry has been published in newspapers, journals, magazines, and four anthologies, including <i>The Rutherford Red Wheelbarrow</i> (2012) and <i>Caduceus</i> (2012). She is a member of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective in Narrowsburg, New York and has participated in poetry readings throughout the region. Her collection of poems, <i>No Need to Repeat Old Lies or Old Lives</i>, appeared in 2012 and her self-help book, <i>Happy is Not a Goal! </i>was released in 2013.<br /><br />An open reading will follow.</span></span>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16218882383648211067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823096760239781401.post-57548410173162038352014-03-01T09:16:00.002-08:002014-03-01T09:16:22.534-08:00Tickets for Weekend of Magic<a href="http://seligmannwom.bpt.me/">http://seligmannwom.bpt.me/</a>Daniel Mackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04560367086696755905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823096760239781401.post-10354552514588739582014-02-27T13:22:00.001-08:002014-03-01T14:51:50.804-08:00Seligmann Center Upcoming events 2014<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6AkxkrYbwCI/Uvo4Sl0hHLI/AAAAAAAABRM/DmAeKBUP4Z4/s1600/Seaton+Feb14.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6AkxkrYbwCI/Uvo4Sl0hHLI/AAAAAAAABRM/DmAeKBUP4Z4/s1600/Seaton+Feb14.jpg" height="112" width="320" /></a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Seligmann Center </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Kurt
and Arlette Seligmann bequeathed their 55-acre farmstead in Sugar Loaf,
NY to "The Citizens of Orange County". The several buildings on the
property have become home to a county arts and quality of life
organizations. To honor the Seligmanns, an arts initiative has been
started to explore contemporary and historical expressions of
surrealism. We realize that "surrealism" is a time-bound description of
certain people, places and events in the recent history of art. We have
chosen to call our initiative the <b>"Seligmann Center"</b> for two reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">First, we want to use this beautiful property to explore quality of life issues in the region: water, land use, <i>place making</i>. This reflects the Seligmann's gift of this land and their interest in issues of community building. <br />Secondly,
we want to invite a wide range of current responses to the spirit of
the surrealists. They were adventurers in the psyche, bravely stepping
out of conventional institutions to find the Marvelous and the Uncanny.
In that spirit, we are a home base for avant-garde art presentation in
the lower Hudson Valley.</span><br />

activity. We quiet the roar of modern life to hear the delicate truths of the
inner muse. Our authentic voices need solitude to emerge. But not in this
workshop. This time we'll take the opposite tack, using collaborative exercises
to generate poems that we never would have expected to flow from our pens. As in
improvisational music or comedy, we'll find that spontaneously reacting to
others is a tremendous source of creativity." </i> <i><b>Program is free and open
