SUMMARY:Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, Jan. 23\, 2024\, at 7 p.m. in Pollak Theater\, best selling author Doug Tallamy\, Ph.D.\, professor of Entomology at University of Delaware and author of Nature’s Best Hope and the Nature of Oaks will present on what you can do in your own yard or balcony to fight climate change\, create climate resiliency\, and create beauty in your own backyard. Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park will present listeners with a road map on how to fight climate change and create a more ecologically resilient landscape. \nToday\, there are more than 44 million acres of turf grass in the U.S.\, an area larger than New England. Turf grass is the worst plant choice for fighting climate change because it is the worst option for sequestering carbon. Our parks\, preserves\, and remaining wildlands—no matter how grand in scale—are too small to sequester the amount of carbon needed to impact climate change. Moreover\, they are also too small and separated from one another to sustain the native trees\, plants\, insects\, and animals on which our ecosystems depend. These systems must be resilient if we are to have climate resiliency. We now must store carbon outside of parks and preserves\, largely on private property\, where we live\, work\, shop\, and farm. Thus the concept for Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems in our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands by reducing lawn\, planting natives\, and removing invasive plants\, and\, in so doing\, fight the biodiversity crisis and climate change simultaneously. \nThe talk will be followed by Q&A and a book signing. The public is encouraged to bring their own copies of Tallamy books for signature. This will be the first presentation of the 2024 Climate Crisis Teach-in.

SUMMARY:The Cardboard Show
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University\, in conjunction with Parlor Gallery is thrilled to kick off the year with a captivating art exhibition that transcends traditional boundaries. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of limitless imagination at the much-anticipated Cardboard Show\, an extraordinary celebration of free-form and experimental creativity. \nThe Cardboard Show is the result: a collection of large-scale sculptures and forms in three distinct voices\, united by medium\, friendship\, and a commitment to a playful approach to creating art for its own sake. These three artists sequestered themselves in Parlor Gallery last January and opened the doors to the public a month later to share their fantastical and unique cardboard creations in an immersive type of presentation. For the continuation of this project\, the artists will follow the same practice of collaborating in the same space at the same time\, building these wonderous creations on site starting January 16th\, 2024\, and will continue to construct and design the exhibition until the opening night on February 9th\, 2024. \nDemo and Meet & Greet:\nThursday\, March 21st. Demo from 3-4 and continuation of the Meet & Greet from 4 – 6. \nOpening Night Reception: Friday\, February 9th from 6-9pm. In addition to the opening reception\, there will also be an artist meet & greet and informal artist talk during the exhibition. \nUnveiling the Magic:\nThe Cardboard Show is a testament to the power of collaboration. Three visionary artists—Porkchop\, Bradley Hoffer\, and Jason Stumpf—invite you to witness the evolution of their fantastical creations. Having sequestered themselves in Parlor Gallery last January\, the artists opened their doors to the public a month later\, sharing the enchantment of their unique cardboard world. \nCreating Wonders in Real-Time:\nAs part of the ongoing project\, these artists will once again unite under one roof\, infusing life into their cardboard wonders starting January 16th\, 2024. Witness the magic unfold as they construct and design this extraordinary exhibition\, culminating in the grand opening on February 9th\, 2024. Join us on a journey where art transcends boundaries\, fueled by the collaborative spirit of three local artists and friends. In addition to the cardboard sculptures\, each artist will also be exhibiting a selection of each of their respective work. \nAbout the Artists: \nBradley Hoffer is a multi-disciplinary artist\, designer\, carpenter\, and maker of original and preconceived concepts. Living and working most of his life in NJ; he received a BFA in sculpture from Mason Gross school of Visual Art at Rutgers. Bradley’s distinct style/work is recognizable using continuous line along with a balance of colors. For this show at Monmouth University\, he is exploring a new complex level of layers in three dimensions. Cardboard is the medium that is being used to accomplish the new sculptures. Bradley is also revealing a collection of paintings that have been in the works for the past 6 years. \nJason Stumpf is multidisciplinary artist based in Asbury Park\, NJ. A woodworker for over 30 years\, his work ranges from sculpture and furniture to cabinetry and wooden boats. His work is influenced by a fascination with structure\, minimalism\, and materiality.  Jason furniture designs often take inspiration from archaic forms and techniques. Those influences are expressed through a minimalist\, modern design ethos. His sculptures stretch that practical design aesthetic into abstracted forms and ideas. \nPorkchop is a multi-disciplinary artist from New Jersey. He has an MFA in Sculpture from VCU and a BFA in Fine Arts from University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Porkchop has established a great presence through his magnificently scaled murals\, including the extensively documented scenes he composed along the Asbury Park Boardwalk in conversation with the sea. Narrative is a prevalent theme in his work. Denizens and visitors to Monmouth County have been enjoying Porkchop’s vibrant and colorful artwork and murals for years\, but in most recent manifestation\, the artist strips his works of his normally vivid palette and instead employs intentionally ritualistic and graphic monochromatic designs and symbols accented with Gold. Influenced by ancient history\, mythology\, religion and literature\, the artist Porkchop sources out\, manipulates\, and casts familiar objects. He then painstakingly recreates their surfaces giving them a new existence into a dark and curious storyline. The application of paint into his intentional ritualistic designs followed by flawless coats of glossy resin is an act of pure precision and care\, like the work of a surgeon or mortician. There are often unexpected but pleasant marriages of imagery and object. By stripping these pieces of his usual vibrant palette\, Porkchop’s choice of black & white emphasizes the narrative in the works\, which becomes difficult to ignore. Presenting these pieces in symmetry creates an alter that pulls the stories altogether.

SUMMARY:On A Winter’s Night
DESCRIPTION:Presenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters PATTY LARKIN\, CLIFF EBERHARDT\, JOHN GORKA  and LUCY KAPLANSKY\, that remain among the brightest stars of the singer/songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them together\, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD\, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers\, back together by popular demand. \n***It is the artists’ preference that audience members be masked for this show for everyone’s health and safety.*** \nPATTY LARKIN\nShe redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music – and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects\, “I have been energized by the poets\, writers\, and artists I have met while teaching\, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage\, her 14th CD now available\, puts poems from ten notable poets to song\, including US Poet Laureates William Carlos Williams\, Stanley Kunitz\, Kay Ryan\, Robert Pinsky\, and Billy Collins\, for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud\, and with Bird\, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow. \nCLIFF EBERHARDT\nOne of the most original songsmiths currently on tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singing\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-filled\, emotional roller coaster of a concert. \nJOHN GORKA\nHailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release\, and 14th of his career\, True In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records). \nLUCY KAPLANSKY\n“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet originals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television\, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy has sung on countless records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry\, Nanci Griffith\, and Shawn Colvin.

SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Don't Stop Believin': Race and Class in Rock Music
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – February 20 & 27 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nSince exploding on the scene in the late 1970s\, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit. This two-session virtual course taught by David Hamilton Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race and class in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s\, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers’ lives. Decades later\, the band and their signature song remain classics\, and now\, with singer Arnel Pineda\, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide. \nDavid Hamilton Golland is a historian\, professor\, and writer with a wide background in twentieth-century social and cultural history. He is dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monmouth University and founder of The Journey Zone (journey-zone.com)\, the leading source for all things Journey over two decades. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
