It eases its way into the consciousness\, like the dawning awareness that something delicious has entered the sense of smell\, that something beautiful has slipped into view\, that something surprisingly gorgeous has permeated the ears. Eventually\, the experience is in full bloom and you realize you are smiling\, and you are feeling good\, without really knowing why. Marya Zimmet’s album ON THE ROAD TO LOVE has taken hold. \nMs. Zimmet’s 2021 album is her first and the cd listening public should be grateful that the jazz singer finally made it into the studio – furthermore\, those same people should be hopeful that there will be a second album on its way. In the liner notes on the album (yes\, there is a physical cd\, and the packaging is admirably artistic)\, Marya explains the story and reasoning behind the creation of On The Road To Love\, while showcasing the lovely photography of Sue Barr\, but as elegant and enjoyable as the packaging and writing are\, the meat of the project is the eleven sensational\, sophisticated\, and sentient performances that make up the record\, one that is destined for repeat listenings\, thanks to Zimmet’s unpretentious approach to storytelling and the presence on the project of Tedd Firth\, who Zimmet credits as director/arranger/orchestrator. \n…This is accessible and emotional musical storytelling with technical artistry woven throughout in a manner that neither intimidates nor distracts. The focus\, from the onset\, is clearly on providing Marya with a platform from which to tell these stories\, and times come in the imagination where one can actually visualize Zimmet on a stage\, performing the songs live\, such is the power of the yin and the yang that is technique and artistry\, as captured here.” \n– Broadway World\nStephen Mosher\nAugust 14\, 2022 \nRead the full review in Broadway World \nLearn more about Marya Zimmet’s On the Road to Love URL:https://westbeth.org/event/marya-zimmet/ LOCATION:Broadway World review CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Marya-Zimmet-SQ-final-cover-e1622992897408.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220812T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220812T203000 DTSTAMP:20260426T045151 CREATED:20220730T004117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220817T155109Z UID:10000031-1660330800-1660336200@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Westbeth Movie Night: Casablanca DESCRIPTION: URL:https://westbeth.org/event/westbeth-movie-night-3/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Casablanca-SQUARE-e1659141648602.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220804T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220804T170000 DTSTAMP:20260426T045151 CREATED:20220104T230055Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221001T234252Z UID:10000057-1659600000-1659632400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Erik Bottcher Delivers Free Covid Home Test Kits for Westbeth residents DESCRIPTION:Free Home Test Kits \nNYC Councilmember Erik Bottcher delivers Covid Home Test Kits to Samantha of Westbeth Artists Residents Council. \nThank you Erik\nFor information on how to get free Home Test Kits for District 3 communities\, email: District 3@council.nyc.gov URL:https://westbeth.org/event/erik-bottcher/ LOCATION:Westbeth Security Desk CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Eric-Sam-LCovid.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220804T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220807T000000 DTSTAMP:20260426T045151 CREATED:20211202T004141Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220817T155631Z UID:10000054-1659571200-1659830400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Valerie Hallier at Governor's island DESCRIPTION:Magical Pew Supreme\nThis site specific installation stages a confessional set up inviting the visitor to genuflect\, reflect and if appropriate\, repent. The installation translates the feeling of disconnection between the “natural” world and our over-commercialized Western world. Inspired by my Catholic upbringing and by K. Malevitch’s Suprematism\, among various sources\, the form and aesthetic grew out of the constraints of the room. I built “towers-totems” out of trash picked up on the island as well as my own. I covered them up with plaster clothes\, like you would a broken leg\, to repair their status and hide their true nature as trash by recycling them as art. Building up from floor to ceiling\, the fragile constructions become totemic constructs partially covered by flower petals also collected on the island. \n“I am so thrilled to share this event with the 7 amazing artists who have been an inspiration and a motivation. We took over the house and split it into 8 separate\, yet interconnected\, universes.

It is time we look closer at what this marvelous artist achieved. \nConsisting of 21 paintings and works on paper made between 1958 and 2017\, a span of nearly half a century\, the exhibition marks an important step in the art world’s consideration of Gechtoff. From relying on a palette knife to using acrylic and graphite in the same painting\, as well as incorporating diverse sources within a collage-like single painting (architecture\, landscape\, and flames and wave-like forms)\, Gechtoff confidently pushed her art into new realms\, inspired by collages she made in 1962 and ’63\, none of which are in the exhibition. At the same time\, working in New York under the sign of pure painting and later the “death of painting\,” it is easy to understand why she was marginalized. Her work did not fit into any of the New York art world’s narratives of progressive art. The fact that drawing was a serious part of her practice and that she did not work on a monumental scale probably did not help her either. Nor did it help that she and her husband had two children. \nOf the 21 works in the exhibition\, 19 were made between 1984 and 2017\, the year before she died. Eight of these works\, done in acrylic and graphite on paper\, are no bigger than 16 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches. Made when the art world was enthralled with Neo-expressionism\, these and other late works make it clear that Gechtoff had no down periods. From the 1980s on\, she combined figural allusions to landscape and architecture with abstract passages that evoke convulsive change\, such as crashing waves and roiling skies. She seems preoccupied with time passing in both the daily sense and the larger\, cosmic sense. \nRead the full review at Sonia Gechtoff \nPainting credit on home page: Sonia Gechtoff\, “Celestial Red” (1994)\, acrylic on canvas\, 77 3/4 x 78 inches (photo by Guang Xu\, image courtesy the artist and 55 Walker\, New York) \nThe exhibition was organized by Bortolami Gallery\, kaufmann repetto\, Andrew Kreps Gallery\, and David Richard Gallery.

Her hand-made puppets were recently featured in Puppets of New York City exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. \nPenny Jones excerpt from Profiles in Art Interview:\nWhen I was working with other people’s puppet shows\, they were geared to older audiences\, but younger children came. And somebody made the rather mean joke that you could tell the success of the show by counting the puddles left by the youngest children in the front row\, due to overexcitement. I thought\, That’s terrible! I realized nobody is writing for that age\, respecting that age. So I determined when I went out myself that I would focus on that age. I had a child that age. I really identified with it. I wanted to produce shows which would capture their imagination\, which wouldn’t scare them\, which would move them\, which would not treat them like second-class citizens. And so I thought about it. I thought they have more fun when they’re sitting together as a group than when they’re sitting in chairs that are too big for them in between adults. They like to laugh. They need to exercise during the show. It’s too long for them to sit through a whole show. So we invent games that will exercise them without having to get up and run around. That’s why every show has a hand game. And they naturally want to participate. They say hello to the puppet when they see it. They don’t understand that you’re supposed to be a listener\, a watcher\, and not participate. \nAs I developed the different shows\, I kept thinking of various ways that would allow them to participate. \nRead entire interview with Terry Stoller Penny Jones\npuppeteer \nPenny Jones Westbeth Icon – See the film made about her as part of the Westbeth Icon Series\nVisit: Penny Jones Westbeth Icon \nMore Information about Penny Jones & Company Puppets\nVisit: Penny Jones & Company URL:https://westbeth.org/event/penny-jones/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PENNY-JONES-REV-cancelledBOXES.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T200000 DTSTAMP:20260426T045151 CREATED:20220104T032725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220901T153431Z UID:10000056-1655488800-1655496000@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Summer Soundwaves: Free Concert with Peter Bernstein DESCRIPTION:Concert audio of Peter Bernstein Trio’s performance\nPeter Bernstein Trio \n \nJune 17\, 2022 Friday 6pm – 8pm\nPETER BERNSTEIN TRIO\n\nJazz guitarist Peter Bernstein has participated in over 80 recordings and numerous festival\, concert and club performances with musicians from all generations.
