COUCH TOUR: JAZZ IN JULY ALL-STAR FINALE, 92NY, 27 JULY 2023
BILL CHARLAP with Jeremy Pelt, Nicole Glover, Steve Wilson, Ken Peplowski, John Pizzarelli, Renee Rosnes, David Wong, and Dennis Mackrell
I signed up for this wrap up to the 92NY series which BILL CHARLAP curated evidently for the last time. I swapped out last Thursday’s piano extravaganza for the Veronica Swift/Caleb Teicher set which wasn’t technically part of the program. I forewent the multiple piano set for the same reason that my expectations were muted for this show—lots of folks to shepherd across the stage, juxtapositions that would be more curious interesting than successful interesting. Last year Charlap had tenor favorites Chris Potter and NICOLE GLOVER together with guitarist Mike Stern and that was, er, interesting. There were some moments like that, but it worked.
‘S Wonderful was the opener and everyone got solo space. Ken Peplowski’s clarinet was, here, kind of clunky and old fashioned and John Pizzarelli’s vocals were charming but thin though his chordal guitar solos was fine. I am very fond of Jeremy Pelt’s smooth tone and improvisational ideas and Glover’s overall edge. It has been good to see her in Artemis, with Allison Miller, and in these settings with Charlap where she exhibits that she sure can play standards.
But the revelation was Steve Wilson whose alto work was lyrical and fresh. I didn’t hear much Charlie Parker in him, but also not Lee Konitz nor Paul Desmond. I have to then guess that he perhaps draws on Johnny Hodges. In any case, Charlap said that no one sings with the horn like Steve Wilson. He always captures something about his bandmates in his always generous comments, but they do sometimes seem over the top. Still, in this case, yes, Steve Wilson sings—on that opener, A Time for Love, a blues, and the closer.
Pizarelli sang the opener, It Had To Be You with Jeremy Pelt as his foil, and Three Little Words with Ken Peplowski’s clarinet beginning to grow on me. I was fully in his camp as he took up Rosnes’ Life Does Not Wait with Glover. It was a very different tune with each horn, including how the composer comped for them, and that widened my ears.
Rosnes and Charlap reprised Lyle Mays’ Chorino from their Double Portrait album with projected camera shots of each keyboard above the stage to help sort things out. Piano duets are risky but one was worthwhile. Rosnes has brought Mays’ Slink into the Artemis book so I have to think she’s the one with the appreciation of him and so it is for her that I will do my homework on him. It was she not her husband who had the piano seat for the A Time For Love with Steve Wilson and the It Had To Be You.
But it was Charlap who was on the bandstand for Kenny Dorham’s Windmill, a Sweet Georgia Brown contrafact, perfectly suited to Pelt and Glover. As with the John Scofield gig on Tuesday, Charlap, of course, knows and can play jazz compositions. That was a fun one, in part because I enjoyed seeing Glover on a bigger stage.
Charlap offered extensive appreciative comments for any and all concerned in the production of the series, including the stage crew, but also his family, including Rosnes, he reflected on inheriting this series from Dick Hyman and in turn that Aaron Diehl will do just fine (and he will, but he’s not as special to me as Charlap). But then he, David Wong, and Dennis Mackrell played a whisper quiet, simply exquisite Some Other Time which I last heard from Tony Bennet and Bill Evans on a 1976 Canadian television program.
The rollicking closer was inevitable and just fine, well played all around. But it was a reminder of how crowded the stage can get particularly when there’s magic like the Dorham or the two sides of Rosnes’ tune or especially that magical Some Other Time.
I’ll see Bill Charlap next season at Jazz St Louis, maybe twice. He’s worth it as he proved over these two weeks with 92NY.

Fishing Quotes
Official Website: Fishing Quotes
• A fish, which you can’t see, deep down in the water, is a kind of symbol of peace on earth, good will to yourself. Fishing gives a man … some time to collect his thoughts and reaarange them kind of neatly, in an orderly fashion. Once the bait is on the hook and the boat is anchored, there’s nothing to interfere with thinking except an occasional bite – Robert Ruark • A fishing rod is a stick with a hook at one end and a fool at the other.- Samuel Johnson • A simple fishing boat in the midst of the rippling waters is enough to awaken in the mind of the beholder a sense of vastness of the sea and at the same time of peace and contentment – the Zen sense oof the alone. – D.T. Suzuki • All Americans believe that they are born fishermen. For a man to admit a distaste for fishing would be like denouncing mother-love or hating moonlight. – John Steinbeck • All I can say to the kids is if you’ve a problem in fishing or life, if you talk to an older person, you’re gonna end up alright, because nine times out of 10, they’ve been through the same thing.- Rex Hunt • All those authors there, most of whom of course I’ve never met. That’s the poetry side, that’s the prose side, that’s the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you’ve enjoyed. – Norman MacCaig • Along with being forever on the move, one is forever in a hurry, leaving things inadvertently behind-friend or fishing tackle, old raincoat or old allegiance. – Louis Kronenberger • And one thing I can be proud of is we have a ‘Come and Try Fishing’ day every year. And there’s 20 venues throughout the state, and see, these thousands of kids who’ve never been fishing come along. – Rex Hunt

• Best fishing in troubled waters. – John Harington • But very unfortunately the merchant marine died away till even the majority of fishing done about the Cape is in the hands of the Portuguese who emigrated to the Cape some fifty years ago. – Joseph C. Lincoln • Buying a fly rod in the average city store, that is, joining it up and safely waggling it a bit, is much like seeing a woman’s arm protruding from a car window: all one can readily be sure of is that the window is open. – John D. Voelker • Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. – Paul Schullery • Creeps and idiots cannot conceal themselves for long on a fishing trip. – John Gierach • Do you want to tear your life apart and get rid of everything you’ve known as a lifestyle? Like seeing your family? Being with your friends? A fishing trip? A hunting trip? A night’s sleep? – Walter F. Mondale • Don’t wait until you retire to go fishing. Don’t even wait until your annual vacation. Go at every opportunity. Things that appear more urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so. – Ted Trueblood • Every afternoon, I was in the pasture with cattle or fishing and shooting my BB gun. That kind of freedom allows imagination to develop. – Lyle Lovett • Fish recognize a bad leader. – Conan O’Brien • Fishing is a constant reminder of the democracy of life, of humility, and of human frailty. The forces of nature discriminate for no man. – Herbert Hoover • Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.- Don Marquis • Fishing is a… discipline in the equality of men – for all men are equal before fish. – Herbert Hoover • Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting.- Dave Barry • Fishing is more than fish; it is the vitalizing lure to outdoor life. – Herbert Hoover • Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers. – Herbert Hoover • Fishing is such great fun, I have often felt, that it really ought to be done in bed – John D. Voelker • Fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air. It brings meekness and inspiration, reduces our egoism, soothes our troubles and shames our wickedness. It is discipline in the equality of men–for all men are equal before fish.- Herbert Hoover • Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.- Ted Hughes • Fishing seems to be the favorite form of loafing. – E. W. Howe • Fishing tournaments seem a little like playing tennis with living balls.- Jim Harrison • Fishing, if I a fisher may protest, Of pleasures is the sweetest of sports the best, Of exercises the most excellent, Of recreations the most innocent. But now the sport is marred, and why you ask? Fishes decrease, and fishers multiply. – Thomas Bastard • Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime – Jimmy Cannon • Fishing… is a sport invented by insects and you are the bait. – P. J. O’Rourke • Fishing’s relaxing, man. Most relaxing thing in my life. It’s therapy for me. I don’t think about business… sports. All I think about is catching the next fish.- Deion Sanders • Fly-fishing is the most fun you can have standing up. – Arnold Gingrich • Fly-fishing may be a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float fishing I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other. – Samuel Johnson • From birth to death, anyone can fish. I just think it’s fantastic to see old people going fishing with young people and teaching them things. I’m very, very critical. – Rex Hunt • Give me mine angle, we’ll to th’ river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up, I’ll think them every one an Antony, And say, ‘Ah, ha! are caught!’ – William Shakespeare • God quickened in the Sea and in the Rivers, So many fishes of so many features, That in the waters we may see all Creatures; Even all that on the earth is to be found,! As if the world were in deep waters drowned.- Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas • Hell, if I’d jumped on all the dames I’m supposed to have jumped on, I’d have had no time to go fishing.- Clark Gable Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.- John James Audubon • I ain’t never had much fun. I ain’t never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose. – Bear Bryant • I am, out of the ladies’ company, like a fish out of the water. – Thomas Shadwell • I can really fish – I’ve been fishing since I was a kid. – Deion Sanders • I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don’t hunt. We’re not gun folk. – Nick Offerman • I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington. – Douglass North • I do fish. I think there is a connection between thinking and fishing mostly because you spend a lot of time up to your waist in water without a whole lot to keep your mind busy. – Anthony Doerr • I fish because I love to . . . because I love the environs where trout are found . . . because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one don’t want to waste the trip . . . and, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant––and not nearly so much fun. – John D. Voelker • I frankly don’t make much of a living, but I make a hell of a life. – Jack Gartside • I get all the truth I need in the newspaper every morning, and every chance I get I go fishing, or swap stories with fishermen to get the taste of it out of my mouth. – Ed Zern • I go fishing not to find myself but to lose myself. – Joseph Monninger • I hate fishing, and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive. – Joseph Barbera • I have laid aside business, and gone a’fishing. – Izaak Walton • I like night fishing, even though there is a molecule of terror in it. Maybe it is that tiny bit of terror that I relish, that going mano a mano with another predator in the dark. I know it is not entirely civilized, but there is nothing to compare with the sizzle of fear except, perhaps, the rush of being feared. Either condition confirms you are alive. – Paul G. Quinnett • I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing. – Tom Felton • I look at it this way… For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers… so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it’s natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse. – George Carlin • I love any discourse of rivers, and fish and fishing. – Izaak Walton • I love fishing and surfing, and I work out every day. – Karl Urban • I love rainy and bad-weather days because this type of weather gives me a mental advantage, especially when I’m fishing in a tournament. When the weather is inclement, most fishermen start thinking of reasons why they can’t catch bass. But, because I fish so often in bad weather, I’m thinking of all the reasons I can catch bass in bad weather conditions. – Gary A. Klein • I love talk and I love fishing. I’m having a ball. – Martin Milner • I only make movies to finance my fishing. – Lee Marvin • I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest. – DeForest Kelley • I saw a fleet of fishing boats…I flew down almost touching the craft and yelled at them, asking if I was on the right road to Ireland. They just stared. Maybe they didn’t hear me. Maybe I didn’t hear them. Or maybe they thought I was just a crazy fool. – Charles Lindbergh • I think I fish, in part, because it’s an anti-social, bohemian business that, when gone about properly, puts you forever outside the mainstream culture without actually landing you in an institution. – John Gierach • I think it’s time for me to get out, because at the moment I’m only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they’re the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I’m thinking about it. – Rex Hunt • I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it’s the one thing I can think of that probably doesn’t. – John Gierach • I used to love going fishing. I think it was really about the clothes. Nothing says real man like a vest with 38 pockets and a mesh hat with hooks in it. – Craig Ferguson • I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool. – Jerry Doyle • I was a Scout years ago, before the movement started, when my father took me fishing, camping and hunting. Then I was sorry that more girls could not have what I had. When I learned of the movement, I thought, here is what I always wanted other girls to have. – Lou Henry Hoover • I’d pull my little brother on our motorcycle on an inner tube behind it. We would go fishing, we would hunt some, growing up. – Sam Brownback • I’d rather go fishing for three years. – Whitey Herzog • If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is the high church.- Tom Brokaw • If I fished only to capture fish, my fishing trips would have ended long ago. – Zane Grey • If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles. – Doug Larson • If we carry purism to it’s logical conclusion, to do it right fishing you’d have to live naked in a cave, hit your trout on the head with rocks, and eat them raw. But, so as not to violate another essential element of the fly-fishing tradition, the rocks would have to be quarried in England and cost $300 each. – John Gierach • If you ever wondered why fishing is probably the most popular sport in this country, watch that boy beside on the water and you will learn. If you are really perceptive you will. For he already knows that fishing is only one part fish. – Hal Borland • If you want to maintain a sustainable supply of fish you have to farm the fish, rather than mine them. So putting your money into fishing fleets that are going to exacerbate the problem by over-fishing is not the way to preserve the underlying asset. – Maurice Strong • If you’ve got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly. – Jack Ohman • I’m an outdoors girl – I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting. – Miranda Lambert • I’m fishing for men with a certain kind of bait, and the bait that I am offering is not a candy; it’s a very specific thing that I’m offering, which is a deep gospel and a deep conversion. – Larry Norman • In a bowl to sea went wise men three, On a brilliant night of June: They carried a net, and their hearts were set, On fishing up the moon. – Thomas – Love Peacock • In every species of fish I’ve angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn’t, much of the thrill of angling would be gone. – Ray Bergman • Interest and proficiency in almost any one activity-swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, skating-breed interest in many more. Once someone discovers the delight of mastering one skill, however slightly, he is likely to try out not just one more, but a whole ensemble. – Margaret Mead • It [angling] deserves commendations;… it is an art worthy the knowledge and practice of a wise man. – Izaak Walton • It is public land and we will do our best to provide recreational activities. We are looking at initially allowing kayak access, wade fishing, bicycle access and walking access on some of the interior roads. – John Wallace • It is to be observed that ‘angling’ is the name given to fishing by people who can’t fish. – Stephen Leacock • It was the forty-fathom slumber that clears the soul and eye and heart, and sends you to breakfast ravening. They emptied a big tin dish of juicy fragments of fish- the blood-ends the cook had collected overnight. They cleaned up the plates and pans of the elder mess, who were out fishing, sliced pork for the midday meal, swabbed down the foc’sle, filled the lamps, drew coal and water for the cook, an investigated the fore-hold, where the boat’s stores were stacked. It was another perfect day – soft, mild and clear; and Harvey breathed to the very bottom of his lungs. – Rudyard Kipling • It’s a little like casting out hundreds of fishing lines into the audience. You start getting little bites, then more, then you hook a few, then more. Then you can start reeling them in and that’s a loveliest feeling – the whole audience laughing with you. – Jim Dale • I’ve gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water. – William G. Tapply • I’ve had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father – he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know? – Kiefer Sutherland • Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish. – Steven Wright • Like they say, you can learn more from a guide in one day than you can in three months fishing alone. – Mario Lopez • Lots of people committed crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing. The increase of crime is among those deprived of the regenerations that impregnate the mind and character of the fisherman. – Herbert Hoover • Man can learn a lot from fishing – when the fish are biting no problem in the world is big enough to be remembered. – Orlando Aloysius Battista Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. – Henry David Thoreau • Many of the most highly publicized events of my presidency are not nearly as memorable or significant in my life as fishing with my daddy. – Jimmy Carter • Men go shopping just as men go out fishing or hunting, to see how large a fish may be caught with the smallest hook. – Henry Ward Beecher • Millions of Americans each year use our national forests to go hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, swimming, horseback riding, and canoeing.- Ric Keller • Monofilament is what you use to go fishing. The line on your fishing rod is probably going to be black. You get to the end of the line and you tie on this clear plastic, thin thread called monofilament. – John Badham • My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It’s a little smelly to me, I don’t like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don’t like to catch them. – Jeff Goldblum • Next to prayer, Fishing is the most personal relationship of man. – Herbert Hoover No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man. – Heraclitus • Now I am . . . like anyone with a strong preference for the fly rod, totally indifferent to how large a fish I catch by comparison with other fishermen. So when a fifteen-year-old called Fred, fishing deep in midsummer with a hideous plastic worm, caught a four and a half pounder . . . I naturally felt no resentment beyond wanting to break the kid’s thumbs. – Vance Bourjaily • Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn’t. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. – Norman Maclean • Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ; His wife he cabined with him and his boy, And seemed that life laborious to enjoy. – George Crabbe • One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don’t change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don’t want to believe what we know. – Yann Arthus-Bertrand • One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted’s passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams. – Wade Boggs • One of the cries from the people was, don’t forget us. They have a long road ahead of them. Operation Blessing has found those little fishing towns. They will not be getting what other towns are getting from the government. – Connie Sellecca • Out of the east on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop He said, “Pete, you think you’ve changed, but you have not. – Bruce Springsteen • People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It’s less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn’t address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby. – Neil Kinnock • Perhaps fishing is, for me, only an excuse to be near rivers. – Roderick Haig-Brown • Poets talk about “spots of time”, but it is really the fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. – Norman Maclean • Retire to what? I already play golf and fish for a living. – Julius Boros • Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher’s salary. – Patrick F. McManus • She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again. – Charles Maurice de Talleyrand • Smoked carp tastes just as good as smoked salmon when you ain’t got no smoked salmon. – Patrick F. McManus • Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. – Ernest Hemingway • Somebody might say that they always wanted to be a fly-fishing guide in Montana and maybe they’ll never get to do that but just by the virtue of having said it out loud, I think there’s some power in that. – John Lee Hancock • Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played – skiing, baseball, fishing – there is no greater example than golf, because you’re playing against yourself and nature. – Robert Redford • Thank you, dear God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain. And for the chance to wake up in three hours and go fishing: I thank you for that now, because I won’t feel so thankful then. – Garrison Keillor • The angling fever is a very real disease and can only be cured by the application of cold water and fresh, untainted air. – Theodore Gordon • The best time to go fishing is when you can get away.- John D. Voelker • The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away. – Eugene Field • The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.- John Buchan • The English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can’t spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting. – Guy Ritchie • The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. – A. Best • The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the hours spent in fishing. – Herbert Hoover • The great charm of fly-fishing is that we are always learning. – Theodore Gordon • The greatest tragedy in life is to spend your whole life fishing only to discover it was never fish that you were after. – Henry David Thoreau • The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: ‘What good is it?- Aldo Leopold • The man who goes fishing gets something more than the fish he catches.- Mary Astor • The only thing bad about winning the pennant is that you have to manage the All-Star Game the next year. I’d rather go fishing for three years. – Whitey Herzog • The shell fishing industry represents a major part of Louisiana’s economy. – Bobby Jindal • The solution to any problem -work, love, money, whatever -is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. – John Gierach • The true fisherman approaches the first day of fishing season with all the sense of wonder and awe of a child approaching Christmas.- John D. Voelker • There are a couple of carp fishing books I’ve been reading. I’m very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment. – Tom Felton • There are more fish taken out of a stream than ever were in it. – Oliver Herford • There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing. – Herbert Hoover • There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm. – Patrick F. McManus • There is no more graceful and healthful accomplishment for a lady than fly-fishing, and there is no reason why a lady should not in every respect, rival a gentleman in the gentle art. – William Cowper Prime • There is time to go long, time to go short and time to go fishing. – Jesse Lauriston Livermore • There will be days when the fishing is better than one’s most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home. – Roderick Haig-Brown • There’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. – Steven Wright • There’s more B.S. in fly fishing than there is in a Kansas feedlot. – Lefty Kreh • Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. – Henry David Thoreau • Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. – Henry David Thoreau • To go fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality of men – for all men are equal before fish. – Herbert Hoover • To paraphrase a deceased patriot, I regret that I have only one life to give to my fly-fishing. – John D. Voelker • Today she met me at the door, said I would have to choose, if I picked up that fishing rod today, she’d be packing all her things and she’d be gone by noon….well I’m gonna miss her when I get home tonight. – Brad Paisley • Trout fishing. One must be a stickler for proper form. Use nothing but #4 blasting caps, or a hand grenade, if handy, or at a pool well-lined with stone, one blast from a .44 magnum will bring a few stunned brookies quietly to the surface.- Edward Abbey • Usually the way to screw up some good fishing is to have a tournament. This just keeps getting better and better. – David Walker • We also own a little boat and I’m like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day. – Perry Como • We are standing on a whale fishing for minnows. – Joseph Campbell • We have seen Indians in immense numbers, and all those on this coast of the Pacific contrive to make a good subsistence on various seeds, and by fishing. – Junipero Serra • Well, I love fishing. I wouldn’t kill a fly myself but I’ve no hesitation in killing a fish. A lot of men are like that. No bother. Out you come. Thump. And that’s not the only reason. – Norman MacCaig • When I go fishing I like to know that there’s nobody within five miles of me. – Norman MacCaig • When I was younger, my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He’s the one who got me to be a really big animal lover. – Paris Hilton • Wherever the fish are, that’s where we go. – Richard Wagner • Work: a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing. – Ambrose Bierce • You are not content with the vast millions of tribute we pay you annually under the operation of our revenue law, our navigation laws, your fishing bounties, and by making your people our manufacturers, our merchants, our shippers. – John Henninger Reagan • You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something. – Mitch Hedberg

Suzuki • All Americans believe that they are born fishermen. For a man to admit a distaste for fishing would be like denouncing mother-love or hating moonlight. – John Steinbeck • All I can say to the kids is if you’ve a problem in fishing or life, if you talk to an older person, you’re gonna end up alright, because nine times out of 10, they’ve been through the same thing.- Rex Hunt • All those authors there, most of whom of course I’ve never met. That’s the poetry side, that’s the prose side, that’s the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you’ve enjoyed. – Norman MacCaig • Along with being forever on the move, one is forever in a hurry, leaving things inadvertently behind-friend or fishing tackle, old raincoat or old allegiance. – Louis Kronenberger • And one thing I can be proud of is we have a ‘Come and Try Fishing’ day every year.

Voelker • Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. – Paul Schullery • Creeps and idiots cannot conceal themselves for long on a fishing trip. – John Gierach • Do you want to tear your life apart and get rid of everything you’ve known as a lifestyle?

Voelker • Fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air. It brings meekness and inspiration, reduces our egoism, soothes our troubles and shames our wickedness. It is discipline in the equality of men–for all men are equal before fish.- Herbert Hoover • Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.- Ted Hughes • Fishing seems to be the favorite form of loafing. – E. W. Howe • Fishing tournaments seem a little like playing tennis with living balls.- Jim Harrison • Fishing, if I a fisher may protest, Of pleasures is the sweetest of sports the best, Of exercises the most excellent, Of recreations the most innocent.

I’m very, very critical. – Rex Hunt • Give me mine angle, we’ll to th’ river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up, I’ll think them every one an Antony, And say, ‘Ah, ha! are caught!’ – William Shakespeare • God quickened in the Sea and in the Rivers, So many fishes of so many features, That in the waters we may see all Creatures; Even all that on the earth is to be found,! As if the world were in deep waters drowned.- Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas • Hell, if I’d jumped on all the dames I’m supposed to have jumped on, I’d have had no time to go fishing.- Clark Gable Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.- John James Audubon • I ain’t never had much fun. I ain’t never been two inches away from a football.

Fishing is very important to us. We don’t hunt. We’re not gun folk. – Nick Offerman • I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington. – Douglass North • I do fish. I think there is a connection between thinking and fishing mostly because you spend a lot of time up to your waist in water without a whole lot to keep your mind busy. – Anthony Doerr • I fish because I love to . . . because I love the environs where trout are found . . . because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one don’t want to waste the trip . . . and, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant––and not nearly so much fun. – John D. Voelker • I frankly don’t make much of a living, but I make a hell of a life. – Jack Gartside • I get all the truth I need in the newspaper every morning, and every chance I get I go fishing, or swap stories with fishermen to get the taste of it out of my mouth. – Ed Zern • I go fishing not to find myself but to lose myself. – Joseph Monninger • I hate fishing, and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive. – Joseph Barbera • I have laid aside business, and gone a’fishing. – Izaak Walton • I like night fishing, even though there is a molecule of terror in it. Maybe it is that tiny bit of terror that I relish, that going mano a mano with another predator in the dark. I know it is not entirely civilized, but there is nothing to compare with the sizzle of fear except, perhaps, the rush of being feared. Either condition confirms you are alive. – Paul G. Quinnett • I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing. – Tom Felton • I look at it this way… For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers… so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it’s natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse. – George Carlin • I love any discourse of rivers, and fish and fishing. – Izaak Walton • I love fishing and surfing, and I work out every day. – Karl Urban • I love rainy and bad-weather days because this type of weather gives me a mental advantage, especially when I’m fishing in a tournament. When the weather is inclement, most fishermen start thinking of reasons why they can’t catch bass. But, because I fish so often in bad weather, I’m thinking of all the reasons I can catch bass in bad weather conditions. – Gary A. Klein • I love talk and I love fishing. I’m having a ball. – Martin Milner • I only make movies to finance my fishing. – Lee Marvin • I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest. – DeForest Kelley • I saw a fleet of fishing boats…I flew down almost touching the craft and yelled at them, asking if I was on the right road to Ireland. They just stared. Maybe they didn’t hear me. Maybe I didn’t hear them. Or maybe they thought I was just a crazy fool. – Charles Lindbergh • I think I fish, in part, because it’s an anti-social, bohemian business that, when gone about properly, puts you forever outside the mainstream culture without actually landing you in an institution. – John Gierach • I think it’s time for me to get out, because at the moment I’m only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they’re the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I’m thinking about it. – Rex Hunt • I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it’s the one thing I can think of that probably doesn’t. – John Gierach • I used to love going fishing. I think it was really about the clothes. Nothing says real man like a vest with 38 pockets and a mesh hat with hooks in it. – Craig Ferguson • I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool. – Jerry Doyle • I was a Scout years ago, before the movement started, when my father took me fishing, camping and hunting. Then I was sorry that more girls could not have what I had.

We would go fishing, we would hunt some, growing up. – Sam Brownback • I’d rather go fishing for three years. – Whitey Herzog • If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is the high church.- Tom Brokaw • If I fished only to capture fish, my fishing trips would have ended long ago. – Zane Grey • If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles. – Doug Larson • If we carry purism to it’s logical conclusion, to do it right fishing you’d have to live naked in a cave, hit your trout on the head with rocks, and eat them raw. But, so as not to violate another essential element of the fly-fishing tradition, the rocks would have to be quarried in England and cost $300 each. – John Gierach • If you ever wondered why fishing is probably the most popular sport in this country, watch that boy beside on the water and you will learn. If you are really perceptive you will. For he already knows that fishing is only one part fish. – Hal Borland • If you want to maintain a sustainable supply of fish you have to farm the fish, rather than mine them. So putting your money into fishing fleets that are going to exacerbate the problem by over-fishing is not the way to preserve the underlying asset. – Maurice Strong • If you’ve got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly. – Jack Ohman • I’m an outdoors girl – I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting. – Miranda Lambert • I’m fishing for men with a certain kind of bait, and the bait that I am offering is not a candy; it’s a very specific thing that I’m offering, which is a deep gospel and a deep conversion. – Larry Norman • In a bowl to sea went wise men three, On a brilliant night of June: They carried a net, and their hearts were set, On fishing up the moon. – Thomas – Love Peacock • In every species of fish I’ve angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn’t, much of the thrill of angling would be gone. – Ray Bergman • Interest and proficiency in almost any one activity-swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, skating-breed interest in many more.

They emptied a big tin dish of juicy fragments of fish- the blood-ends the cook had collected overnight. They cleaned up the plates and pans of the elder mess, who were out fishing, sliced pork for the midday meal, swabbed down the foc’sle, filled the lamps, drew coal and water for the cook, an investigated the fore-hold, where the boat’s stores were stacked. It was another perfect day – soft, mild and clear; and Harvey breathed to the very bottom of his lungs. – Rudyard Kipling • It’s a little like casting out hundreds of fishing lines into the audience. You start getting little bites, then more, then you hook a few, then more. Then you can start reeling them in and that’s a loveliest feeling – the whole audience laughing with you. – Jim Dale • I’ve gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water. – William G. Tapply • I’ve had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father – he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know? – Kiefer Sutherland • Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish. – Steven Wright • Like they say, you can learn more from a guide in one day than you can in three months fishing alone. – Mario Lopez • Lots of people committed crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing. The increase of crime is among those deprived of the regenerations that impregnate the mind and character of the fisherman. – Herbert Hoover • Man can learn a lot from fishing – when the fish are biting no problem in the world is big enough to be remembered. – Orlando Aloysius Battista Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. – Henry David Thoreau • Many of the most highly publicized events of my presidency are not nearly as memorable or significant in my life as fishing with my daddy. – Jimmy Carter • Men go shopping just as men go out fishing or hunting, to see how large a fish may be caught with the smallest hook. – Henry Ward Beecher • Millions of Americans each year use our national forests to go hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, swimming, horseback riding, and canoeing.- Ric Keller • Monofilament is what you use to go fishing. The line on your fishing rod is probably going to be black. You get to the end of the line and you tie on this clear plastic, thin thread called monofilament. – John Badham • My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It’s a little smelly to me, I don’t like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don’t like to catch them. – Jeff Goldblum • Next to prayer, Fishing is the most personal relationship of man. – Herbert Hoover No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man. – Heraclitus • Now I am . . . like anyone with a strong preference for the fly rod, totally indifferent to how large a fish I catch by comparison with other fishermen. So when a fifteen-year-old called Fred, fishing deep in midsummer with a hideous plastic worm, caught a four and a half pounder . . . I naturally felt no resentment beyond wanting to break the kid’s thumbs. – Vance Bourjaily • Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn’t. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. – Norman Maclean • Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ; His wife he cabined with him and his boy, And seemed that life laborious to enjoy. – George Crabbe • One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don’t change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don’t want to believe what we know. – Yann Arthus-Bertrand • One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted’s passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams. – Wade Boggs • One of the cries from the people was, don’t forget us. They have a long road ahead of them. Operation Blessing has found those little fishing towns. They will not be getting what other towns are getting from the government. – Connie Sellecca • Out of the east on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop He said, “Pete, you think you’ve changed, but you have not. – Bruce Springsteen • People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It’s less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn’t address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby. – Neil Kinnock • Perhaps fishing is, for me, only an excuse to be near rivers. – Roderick Haig-Brown • Poets talk about “spots of time”, but it is really the fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. – Norman Maclean • Retire to what? I already play golf and fish for a living. – Julius Boros • Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher’s salary. – Patrick F. McManus • She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again. – Charles Maurice de Talleyrand • Smoked carp tastes just as good as smoked salmon when you ain’t got no smoked salmon. – Patrick F. McManus • Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. – Ernest Hemingway • Somebody might say that they always wanted to be a fly-fishing guide in Montana and maybe they’ll never get to do that but just by the virtue of having said it out loud, I think there’s some power in that. – John Lee Hancock • Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played – skiing, baseball, fishing – there is no greater example than golf, because you’re playing against yourself and nature. – Robert Redford • Thank you, dear God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain. And for the chance to wake up in three hours and go fishing: I thank you for that now, because I won’t feel so thankful then. – Garrison Keillor • The angling fever is a very real disease and can only be cured by the application of cold water and fresh, untainted air. – Theodore Gordon • The best time to go fishing is when you can get away.- John D. Voelker • The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away. – Eugene Field • The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.- John Buchan • The English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can’t spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting. – Guy Ritchie • The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. – A. Best • The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the hours spent in fishing. – Herbert Hoover • The great charm of fly-fishing is that we are always learning. – Theodore Gordon • The greatest tragedy in life is to spend your whole life fishing only to discover it was never fish that you were after. – Henry David Thoreau • The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: ‘What good is it?- Aldo Leopold • The man who goes fishing gets something more than the fish he catches.- Mary Astor • The only thing bad about winning the pennant is that you have to manage the All-Star Game the next year. I’d rather go fishing for three years. – Whitey Herzog • The shell fishing industry represents a major part of Louisiana’s economy. – Bobby Jindal • The solution to any problem -work, love, money, whatever -is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. – John Gierach • The true fisherman approaches the first day of fishing season with all the sense of wonder and awe of a child approaching Christmas.- John D. Voelker • There are a couple of carp fishing books I’ve been reading. I’m very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment. – Tom Felton • There are more fish taken out of a stream than ever were in it. – Oliver Herford • There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing. – Herbert Hoover • There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm. – Patrick F. McManus • There is no more graceful and healthful accomplishment for a lady than fly-fishing, and there is no reason why a lady should not in every respect, rival a gentleman in the gentle art. – William Cowper Prime • There is time to go long, time to go short and time to go fishing. – Jesse Lauriston Livermore • There will be days when the fishing is better than one’s most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home. – Roderick Haig-Brown • There’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. – Steven Wright • There’s more B.S. in fly fishing than there is in a Kansas feedlot. – Lefty Kreh • Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. – Henry David Thoreau • Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. – Henry David Thoreau • To go fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality of men – for all men are equal before fish. – Herbert Hoover • To paraphrase a deceased patriot, I regret that I have only one life to give to my fly-fishing. – John D. Voelker • Today she met me at the door, said I would have to choose, if I picked up that fishing rod today, she’d be packing all her things and she’d be gone by noon….well I’m gonna miss her when I get home tonight. – Brad Paisley • Trout fishing. One must be a stickler for proper form. Use nothing but #4 blasting caps, or a hand grenade, if handy, or at a pool well-lined with stone, one blast from a .44 magnum will bring a few stunned brookies quietly to the surface.- Edward Abbey • Usually the way to screw up some good fishing is to have a tournament. This just keeps getting better and better. – David Walker • We also own a little boat and I’m like a kid with it.

I wouldn’t kill a fly myself but I’ve no hesitation in killing a fish. A lot of men are like that. No bother. Out you come. Thump. And that’s not the only reason. – Norman MacCaig • When I go fishing I like to know that there’s nobody within five miles of me. – Norman MacCaig • When I was younger, my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He’s the one who got me to be a really big animal lover. – Paris Hilton • Wherever the fish are, that’s where we go. – Richard Wagner • Work: a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing. – Ambrose Bierce • You are not content with the vast millions of tribute we pay you annually under the operation of our revenue law, our navigation laws, your fishing bounties, and by making your people our manufacturers, our merchants, our shippers. – John Henninger Reagan • You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something. – Mitch Hedberg

Art F City: This Weeks Must-See Art Events: The Art World Mobilizes for 2017
Farley Aguilar, “The Protest,” oil on linen, 2015. Aguilar has a solo show opening Sunday night at Lyles & King.
For everyone who has complained that the art world is too apolitical in the past month or so, take note of how 2017 is kicking off. We have a week of feminist exhibitions, the start of a month-long project about Trump’s America Saturday at Petzel Gallery, and shows that tackle topics from water contamination to the holocaust and the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
Welcome to the art world in the Trump era. If the list of participants at Petzel’s event is any indication, the big guns are coming out.

Fred Terna: Processing Chaos, Recurring Echoes
Fred Terna has been making art for over 70 years. In 1946, one year after being liberated from the concentration camps where he had survived for four year, Terna went to art school in Paris. Since then, he’s experimented with abstractions that borrow from surrealism and cubism—with emotional undertones informed by his traumatic experiences. In this exhibition, we’ll see work he’s made since 1970. That would be an entire retrospective for most living artists—it’s humbling to think that represents just about half of Terna’s career.

Louise Bourgeois: Holograms
Who knew the late, great Louise Bourgeois made holograms? I sure as hell didn’t, and I’m a fan of both. In 1998, Bourgeois was approached by the holography studio C-Project and invited to produce a series. This is the first exhibition of the 8 plates that came from that collaboration. As one would expect, the press release promises they’re dreamy and full of “slapstick horror.” A definite can’t-miss.

Tal R: Keyhole
Also at Cheim & Read, another show that looks great. Copenhagen-based artist Tal R has asked his friends in different cities to send photos of storefronts from their local red light districts. Tal R then translates these into whimsical crayon drawings and paintings—each depicting a colorful, stylized sex business from strip clubs to gay bars. These look like they’re going to be a lot of fun.

Dan Walsh
    Nobody commands a grid like Dan Walsh. It helps that his paintings tend to be much larger than your average grid painting. (Many of the canonical minimalist paintings from the 70’s as well as those that hail from Bushwick don’t tend to exceed 35 to 40 inches. Walsh’s paintings are more frequently in the 70 inch range.) As we noted in our review of his 2012 show, they have a lot of weight to them as a result is needed in a cavernous space like Paula Cooper Gallery. Past that, though, it’s the fact that each painting seems so worked that makes them so compelling. This is the type of art that can easily look mechanical and robotic. Walsh avoids that at every turn.
Morgan Lehman Gallery

David S. Allee: Chasing Firefly
Back in October at the Art Critical review panel nobody had very good things to say about Martin Creed’s billboard sized rotating sign “Understanding” located in the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Pretty much any interpretation had brought by the viewer and the piece really wasn’t that deep. Credit David S. Allee with a photograph of the sign that improves upon the public art work. In the nighttime photograph, the sign is surrounded by rings of light due to the slow exposure. It resembles the parenthesis people on twitter put around their name to express shock. In these dark times, Allee’s gesture seems right on the money.
The show will be filled with Allee’s night time photographs—a series he’s returning to after 10 years and we’re glad to see it. Night, through Allee’s lens, seems dramatic, bold, yet eerily still. It’s a good combination, and one that definitely should be seen in person.

Nor Any Drop to Drink
  As artists become more politically engaged, we expect to see more shows like Adam Zucker’s curated show “Nor Any Drop to Drink”. According to Zucker, the show is “a response to the global deterioration of water sources and the conflict between the synthetic and natural world.” Most recently, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s actions protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline have brought this issue for artists to the forefront, though the fact is we all need to be paying attention to the coming water shortage. This exhibition is just one attempt at raising consciousness.

Ann Greene Kelly: May Not Be Private
Ann Greene Kelly’s assemblages mash-up references to the body, architecture, and just a little bit of consumer culture. They evoke a strange sensation of domestic and body horror, and given that the show takes its title from a women’s health brochure, have a political urgency as well.

Phoenix Lindsey-Hall: Never Stop Dancing
Phoenix Lindsey-Hall has slip-cast 49 porcelain disco balls, one for each victim of the terror attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. This looks to be a powerful installation—each ball will be illuminated in the darkened gallery—in keeping with the artist’s practice of memorializing queer victims of hate crimes.

Closing Reception for Female Adapter: New Work by Faith Holland
We’ve frequently featured Faith Holland on the blog, whose singular brand of feminism-meets-web-savvy-meets-sexy-GIFs is right up our alley. Unfortunately, we haven’t had a chance to make it to Jamaica to see this show, the end result of Holland’s year-long New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Studio Residency Program at the center. Be sure to make it to the closing reception, where one can check out her site-specific “Queer Connections” installation, which spans 13 feet.

We need to talk...Artists and the public respond to the present conditions in America
  The staff of Petzel Gallery decided to devote the first month of 2017 to some much-needed strategizing about how the art world can respond to the disastrous results of November’s elections. They’ve divided this program into both an exhibition and a space for viewers to dialogue. From the gallery:
Participation in writing, through film, and in live discussions.
As visitors enter the gallery they will be invited to write down their reactions, thoughts, anxieties, hopes for the future, on a giant billboard on the wall.
The gallery will also devote one room to screening film clippings, shorts, vignettes that in some way tackle today’s issues. This part of the program is open to anyone who wants his or her concerns brought before an audience. Submissions* will be added to a loop and screened in the gallery as well as on the website.
Saturday Symposiums: on three Saturdays during the show, interested parties and the public will be invited to participate in symposium-style conversations, debates, and readings on different issues: Civil Liberties (January 21st), Immigration (January 28th), and The Environment (February 4th). Details to follow.
Artists Respond: A list of artists whose work will be on view in the main space is in formation, but at time of press, includes Yael Bartana, Judith Bernstein, Andrea Bowers, Troy Brauntuch, AA Bronson, Paul Chan, Mark Dion, Sam Durant, Rainer Ganahl, Hans Haacke, Rachel Harrison, Dana Hoey, Jenny Holzer, Jonathan Horowitz, Josh Kline, Barbara Kruger, Sean Landers, Louise Lawler, Glenn Ligon, Robert Longo, Allan McCollum, Joyce Pensato, Raha Raissnia, Peter Saul, Dana Schutz, Gary Simmons, Dirk Skreber, Slavs and Tatars, Andrew Tider/Jeff Greenspan, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rirkrit Tiravanija…and more to come. A percentage of sales will be donated to any organization that seems appropriate to artist and collector.
*Beginning January 1st, 2017: please send submitted video files titled “January2017” as downloadable links via WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Vimeo to [email protected]. If uploading via Vimeo, please ensure the video is downloadable and can be added to collections. Work should be up to 5 minutes in duration, with a max file size of 2GB, one submission per sender. Submissions will close January 31st. We reserve the right to omit videos with offensive content.

Lintel, Mantel, Module, Shelf
  Curated by Samuel Draxler, this show is intended to subvert the conventions of sterile, prefabricated domestic spaces. And if the press image is any indication, it should be a hit. GaHee Park’s oil painting “Drama” features a wine & cheese & sex party in a motel room. She’s the best. Full disclosure: we recently showed GaHee Park’s work in our exhibition Strange Genitals.
Artists:
Lauren Bakst & Yuri Masnyj, Elliott Jerome Brown Jr., Mary-Ann Monforton, GaHee Park, Isaac Pool

The Visible Hand
“The Visible Hand” is a term in economics for management, in opposition to the Invisible Hand of the market. So here, four artists and one collective present themselves as managers of sorts. Maureen Connor, for example, presents a more counterpoint to institutional critique—she investigates the HR problems of host institutions and then creates installation to help solve them. I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on in the above image, but whatever these things are, I want one for our office.
Artists: Chloë Bass, BFAMFAPhD, Maureen Connor, Devin Kenny, Jen Liu.

Blade Runner—Autoencoded
  If there’s one benefit to living in the dystopian “future” we call the present, it’s that we finally know what androids dream of—and it’s usually weird as hell. Terence Broad has built an artificial neural network (which I imagine is somewhat similar to Google’s Deep Dream …or maybe one of those episodes of Star Trek where Data tries to make art) and shown his creation Blade Runner. He then tasked his AI to recreate the film, frame-by-frame, from memory. I can only imagine how weird the resulting movie, which is screening at the Whitney, will be. The event is free for members, or $12 for non-members. Totally worth it.

Sinister Feminism
  This is our DUMBO neighbor’s 12th biennial, and just based on the name alone it’s gotta be good. We’re not familiar with any of the artists involved, but the press release sounds bad-ass:
“Sinister Feminism. We fortify veneer into armor. We appropriate from misogynist sources. We exceed the cinematic ideal. We vibrate the sound of the city. We endure. Our physicalizations we know are transgressive. We are a halation of line. We throw shadow across the page. We teach the tongues of the past. We mock the habit of metonymy. We transmit the sense of hysterics. We smell. We hurl what we are required to withstand: our bodies, our selves. We are trying to reach you. We wildly grin.”
Artists:Lucas Berd, Dora Budor, ceramics club (cc), Kerry Downey, Dolores Furtado, Nicolás Guagnini, Caitlin Keogh, Chelsea Rae Klein, Lizzy Marshall, Whitney Oldenburg, B. Quinn, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Torbjørn Rødland, Karin Schneider and Leigh Ledare, Bailey Scieszka

Farley Aguilar: Bad Color Book
Miami-based, self-taught painter Farley Aguilar’s paintings remind the viewer why paintings are fun, and sometimes frenetically anxious. They’re populated by expressionist figures in surreal tableaus. Clowns, wrestlers, religious figures, and other archetypes seem squeezed together in tense, brushy compositions. Traces of revisions and happy accidents dot their surfaces, and there’s a sense of playful horror in both subject matter and process. This is the definite highlight of Sunday night.
