<br />
Joe Polacco is a native of the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn,
New York. He holds a PhD from
Duke University, with emphases in biochemistry, chemistry and genetics.
After two years as an assistant professor at the Universidad del Valle
in Cali, Colombia, and eight months as a postdoctoral at Brookhaven
National Laboratories, he entered the field of plant science, spending five
years as a staff geneticist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
Station—the oldest in the U.S. In 1979 he joined the Biochemistry
Department of the University of Missouri, where he is professor emeritus. <br />
<br />
Polacco was twice a senior Fulbright fellow. He has extensive
international research and teaching experience in science, in Argentina,
Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Spain. He has published 68
peer-reviewed research articles as well as many reviews, opinion pieces and book
chapters and has edited two major monographs. In addition, he published bilingual poetry (Spanish and English) while at MU, where he
is known as the “poet laureate of biochemistry,” producing both serious
and humorous pieces.<br />

<i>Vina, A Brooklyn Memoir</i> centers on author Joe Polacco's mother. Vina was
brought up in a depression-era home, one of four children raised by an
immigrant, hearing-impaired single mother in Brooklyn. Vina was a driven but extremely giving person. Though she spread
light, she sought no recognition. She was a font of good humor and good
deeds. She was a beacon to many, who lovingly remember her and who
showed that love by contributing mightily to this memoir. The stories
that emerge are both poignant and entertaining. Readers
will be induced to smile, even laugh, during the re-telling of Vina’s
stories.<br />

with these lines: “Where have the children gone this time? / There they
are, behind the house, / standing in a cautious arc / around the
flowers we warned them about.” <i>The Children Are Reading</i>
inhabits childhood spaces, physical and imaginative, on either side of
the emergence of adult awareness, desires, and anxieties—which isn’t to
say desires and anxieties don’t exist on the childhood end of the
spectrum. In many ways, those are more emphatic, less mitigated in the
poems, unconstrained by the delusions and rationalizations of adulthood. <br />
<br />
The poems are at once bounding toward, admiring of, and anxious about
those childhood spaces, sliding back and forth along the continuum of
childhood/adulthood on which fears of imaginative spaces crystallize and
fluctuate. It would be inaccurate to think of adulthood as the place
where wisdom pools in these poems, though it’s in adulthood that some of
the fears are reconceived and articulated. Fried shows us that there
are powers and wisdoms held in childhood that are lost in adulthood,
even with its increased autonomy of one sort or another. </div>

<![endif]-->In 1954 a black boy is born on a plantation in rural Virginia. He inhabits a liminal inner world where sensory experiences blur together and memory is fluid. For the first four years of his life, he doesn't speak. Then he finds his voice. Slowly entering the outside world, he evolves into an artist and educator whose extraordinary literary and musical gifts emerge through unspoken neurological challenges. Anand Prahlad’s distinctly American journey takes readers from school desegregation in the South, to New Age enclaves in the West, to higher education in the Midwest, deepening our understanding of autism, race and gender along the way.<br />

A native of central Missouri, <b><a href="http://www.joshcrow.net/">Josh Crow</a> </b>works mostly in oil and watercolor, painting people, places and things that resonate with him. A large part of the significance of the paintings is how they are painted. The subject matter can vary greatly, but the accuracy and energy of the brushwork and drawing are a major part of the content or the reason to do the paintings. Much of the work Crow shows is oil on canvas and panels. <br />
<br />The content usually involves a mundane view of life seen in a odd perspective or a slightly odd happening in a normal place. Once such theme is deer wandering into buildings or other such places they should not be. Within these ideas Crow plays with his love of color and light. Crow's work is currently on exhibit in the gallery space at Orr Street Studios.Orr St.'s Hearing Voices/Seeing Visions Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131990968289703113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587355182461634755.post-50759555815820793352016-10-02T18:21:00.002-05:002016-10-03T08:46:32.594-05:00Oct. 18: Lynn Rossy | Nikos Karabetsos Join us at 7 p.m. Tuesday, <b>Oct. 18</b>, for nonfiction by <b>Lynn Rossy</b> and art by <b>Nikos Karabetsos</b>.<br />

Nikos Karabetsos is a candidate in the MFA program at the University of Missouri. He holds a master's degree in studio arts from Marshall University, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Michigan. His work has been shown in places such as Ireland, Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland. Karabetsos has partnered with the Hotei Gallery in Chicago. He has worked as an artist for Tommy Bahama clothing company, an illustrator for the children’s book <i>Joha’s story</i>, and an instructor in drawing and art appreciation. His current multimedia project utilizes practices in fibers, printmaking and painting. Weathering handmade paper causes the object to undergo a manner of materialization and de-materialization. Using this concept as primary subject matter, he creates multiple versions of the same thing. His presentation discusses his current project and place in reference to art history.<br />

Columbia, Missouri, confronting blank pages during business hours and
postponing the inevitable with another cup of coffee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>

edited, and published by Holland House Books of England.</span><br />

Her rhythmic and sometimes calligraphic style is suggestive of dance or motion borne out of a sense of urgency. She favors vivid color, energetic mark making, and intricate compositions that incorporate both geometric and organic elements. Her paintings often combine acrylic, gouache, or encaustic paint with other materials, such as drawing media, collage, fiber, and photo transfers. Her observations of nature and human behavior serve as the conceptual and/or emotional springboard for her intuitive working process, which is directed and shaped by her quest for visual balance.<br />
<br />
Rugolo was born and raised in Columbia. She was fortunate to have an art professor father (Lawrence Rugolo), who encouraged and nurtured her creative spirit in her formative years. She left town to go to college and went on to live in a variety of places, most recently Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved back to Columbia in September 2015. <br />
<br />
Rugolo earned a BFA from the University of Iowa and an MFA from Arizona State University. She has exhibited extensively in galleries and juried shows throughout the country. Her artwork is held in numerous private and public collections. She taught as an adjunct instructor at the University of Wisconsin, and currently teaches workshops and private instruction. She is represented by Concept Art Gallery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<br />

Chris Teeter began his career as a visual artist with representational drawing and plein air painting. Afterward, for 10 years, he was involved almost completely with creating sculpture in steel or various media, including the <a href="http://orrstreetstudios.com/doors/">doors at Orr Street Studios</a> and many other sculptures. During the past three years he has returned to painting. This change in media is a change in form only, since the content of his artistic pursuits has always revolved around his interest in abstraction.<br />
<br />

“I love how abstraction is, in varying degrees, without reference to representation and the external world and therefore presents itself somewhat enigmatically. The viewer is asked to think and perceive non-verbally, in effect, to jump from the familiar to the unfamiliar and participate in the final act of perception and understanding internally.”<br />

<a href="http://www.jenniferwiggs.net/">Jennifer Ann Wiggs</a> has a BFA from Indiana University and an MFA from Washington University, and she has taught art at the Art Department of the University of Missouri.<br />
<br />
She is a member of the Watercolor USA Honor Society, and her award-winning work has been shown in Watercolor USA, the Living Artist’s Magazine, the Missouri Watercolor National, the National Exhibition of American Watercolor at the Taos New Mexico Museum, and the River Market Regional Exhibition in Kansas City.<br />
<br />
Artist statement: The channel between realism and abstraction is rich territory for invention. These latest gouache paintings<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="GoBack"></a> explore abstraction using sophisticated color relationships and simple shapes.<br />

<br />
Brett Cottrell was born and bred in Las Vegas. His writings blend religious and political satire with whimsical, action-packed absurdity. He’s been a bartender, a drummer in a rock-and-roll band, a legislative intern and an attorney. He studied political theory at Boise State University and graduated from the George Washington University Law School.
Cottrell lives in Columbia, Missouri, with his wife and their opinionated dog,
Tico. <br />

What would you do for the perfect sandwich? Kill? Die? Well, if you were a rogue angel, you might just cause the Apocalypse. And it looks like that's just what he's about to do when he lands in a polygamist cult in Utah. So, now it's up to the rest of God's divine posse, including <i>Jesus and Lucifer</i>, to save all of existence from certain destruction. In his debut novel, Brett Cottrell takes you on a provocative, celestial roller coaster ride that will have you laughing on the edge of your seat all the way to the gates of Hell.<br />

"My foray into the world of working with only color, texture and composition was not intentional. It developed over time. Having primarily been a representational artist, I find it challenging to explain a certain piece from this body of work. There really is no correct explanation. As I work, the painting evolves over time, beginning with no real plan, but primarily the intrigue of working with color and texture. Composition comes as the work progresses, layer by layer, which can be days or months from the time it began. My goal, if I were to have one, would be to create work that stands on its own, intriguing the viewer with the complex yet simple marriage of color, composition and texture."<br />

<br />
Brian Mahieu has been a plein air landscape painter since 1987. That year, he traveled to Paris, France and lived in the Latin Quarter for one month. Seeing the Impressionist masterpieces, Monet's gardens at Giverny and the French countryside, which reminded him of Missouri, created the impetus to paint en plein air exclusively. The primary motif of his work has been the Missouri River Valley at dusk with an emphasis on capturing the mood and atmosphere of the landscape. While he was studying at Columbia College, Mahieu's painting professor, the late Sidney Larson, encouraged him to paint outside directly from nature and to develop his painterly technique.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7DtIspz3Qg/VLV9SF5c6II/AAAAAAAAAU8/kRbw4VWBLTc/s1600/mahieu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7DtIspz3Qg/VLV9SF5c6II/AAAAAAAAAU8/kRbw4VWBLTc/s1600/mahieu.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
Mahieu earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Columbia College in 1989. From graduation until 2000 Brian maintained his fine art gallery Mahieu Fine Art (originally Atelier Mahieu) at 918 E. Broadway in Columbia, Missouri. He was also a founding member of Dauphine Gallery and à la campagne and was hired to start the Rocheport Gallery and served as its original curator. Currently Mahieu is curator and director of the not-for-profit Art House in Fulton, Missouri, where he exhibits regularly.<br />
<br />
Mahieu has exhibited nationally, including the cities of New York, Carmel and Santa Cruz. Brian's paintings are in public and private collections throughout the United States, Europe the United Kingdom and Australia, including the contemporary artist collection of the State Historical Society of Missouri. The largest public collection of Mahieu's work is at the World Aquarium in St Louis.<br />
<br />
In addition to painting full time, from 1992—2009 he operated one of the largest daylily breeding programs in the world creating and introducing 144 new daylily varieties into commerce. Brian and his husband Tom Harris live in Fulton with their two retired racing greyhounds and various foster greyhounds. <br />

<b>About Skwiot's novel, <i>Fail</i></b><br />
<br />
Disgraced African American St. Louis Police Lieutenant Carlo Gabriel wants fiercely to return to the headquarters hierarchy from which he has been exiled to the city’s tough North Side. All he needs do is track down the missing husband of the mayor’s vivacious press secretary. Instead he unwittingly and unwillingly unearths a morass of corruption, educational malpractice and greed that consigns thousands of at-risk youths to the mean streets of America’s erstwhile murder capital. Worse, it’s the kind of information that could get a cop killed.<br />
<br />
Fighting for life and his honor, Gabriel makes chilling discoveries that ultimately lead to a life-threatening and life-changing decision—a choice that could affect not only his own future but also that of the city and its top leaders.Orr St.'s Hearing Voices/Seeing Visions Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131990968289703113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587355182461634755.post-80025954042818790892014-11-14T10:22:00.001-06:002014-11-14T10:34:14.226-06:00Scott Dalrymple | Rich Smith | Shane Epping<span style="font-size: large;">Join us at <b>7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18,</b> for science fiction by <b>Scott Dalrymple</b>, poetry by <b>Rich Smith</b> and photography by <b>Shane Epping</b>.</span><br />

<b>LEANDRA SPANGLER</b><br />
<a href="http://www.bearcreekpaperworks.com/">Leandra Spangler</a>'s passion for papermaking began in 1986 when she first plunged her hands into a vat of pulp.

Spangler creates an armature, woven from reed, lashed bamboo and/or wire, as the bones for her contemporary basketry. Highly textured handmade paper of black denim creates the skin. The paper exoskeleton is sealed and finished with layers and layers of color. These sculptural vessels are shown across the country at invitational and juried exhibitions.<br />

Spangler teaches workshops in her studio, Bear Creek Paperworks, in Columbia, Missouri. <br />

Since coming to the Tribune in 2009, he has enjoyed opportunities to interview regionally and nationally recognized artists and musicians who create on scales both intimate and immense. His greatest joy as a journalist has come through chances to more deeply understand the particular passions of culture-makers, then convey those concerns in thoughtful and creative ways.<br />

As editor, writer, columnist and Missouri State University professor of religious studies, but also as translator and executive at American Bible Society in New York City, Bob Hodgson toggled between word and image all his professional life. At the society, he worked as senior producer and co-executive director of a 10-year long multimedia translation project that produced music and performance videos of biblical stories, garnering more than a dozen film, video and multimedia industry awards, including two CINDY and two CINE citations. Today, writing fiction or oil painting, he sets to work as a translator, walking alongside his original “texts” — story and memory, imagination and emotion, experience and attitude — nudging them across borders of language, time, space, culture and medium. Bob and his wife, MaryTim, live in Columbia close to two of three children and three of four grandchildren. Here Bob has found a diverse and nurturing creative community at Orr Street Studios and in workshops led by artist Hannah Hollister Ingmire and authors Keija Parsinnen and Bridget Buford. His short stories have appeared in <i>Well-Versed</i>, the literary magazine of the Columbia Chapter of the Missouri Writers Guild. Columbia Art League's 2013 <i>Interpretations</i> includes two poems he wrote. His paintings hang in private collections as well as at Orr Street.<br />
