Farewell Staff Pick - Goodbye, Clare!

For my final staff pick, I chose The Ballad of Lemon and Crow, a story written by Glenn Todd and illustrated with six photogravures by Bruce Conner. Bruce Conner (1933-2008) was an artist from McPherson, Kansas who grew up in Texas who worked in many mediums such as assemblage, film, drawing, sculpture, painting, collage, and photography. He officially retired in 2000, but continued making work as “anonymous,” specifically the ink blots such as the ones patterning the cover of this book. Glenn Todd was a writer who was born in Archer City, Texas in 1930. He worked as a printer for San Francisco fine-press publishers until landing at Arion Press, where he served as an editor and writer. After 1995, during his retirement, he began to work on writing his own fiction. Both Conner and Todd bring their regional awareness and tone to this story about two neighboring families and three generations in rural Oklahoma in the early to mid-20th century.

The Ballad of Lemon and Crow was published in 2002 by Arion Press in San Francisco in and edition of 326 copies signed by the author and artist. It was designed and produced by Arion Press proprietor Andrew Hoyem with the assistance of Gerald Reddan, Leif Erlandsson, Shannon Kelley, Blake Riley, Charles Martin, and Katherine Case. The Monotype English Old Style type was composed and cast at Mackenzie & Harris by Peter Stoelzl and Lewis Mitchell, and printed onto all-cotton Ruysdael.

The book is bound in black and yellow printed cloth and housed in a black slipcase. Both the printed inkblot pattern and the lemon and the crow rebuses on the title page were made using photopolymer plates. The book begins with one of the six interleaved prints on mould-made T.H. Saunders buff paper made in Somerset, England. The oval-shaped illustrations for the prints are collaged wood engravings that have been printed as photogravures. In response to the illustrations, the author wrote short poems to link the images back to the story. These poems can be found in the suite of prints that is sold with the book, and in our copy we can see them in the prospectus that accompanied it.

This book stood out to me originally just from the title, and how they are the namesakes of the families in the story. It is a uniquely captivating folk tale weaving reality with the supernatural, and the illustrations manage to bind this all together. The craftsmanship that went into its creation is evident, and it is a joy to flip through. I will miss having the privilege to learn from and discover the endless books in this collection, and will treasure the time I had.

This is a shot of two skyscrapers. 50 California, (completed in 1972), is reflected in the facade of 101 California, (completed in 1982).In 1993, a mass murder occurred at 101 California Street.

A disgruntled client of the law firm Pettit & Martin entered their offices on the 34th floor and killed eight people and wounded six before killing himself.

The event was a catalyst in the passage of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a drive initiated by California Senator Dianne Feinstein to ban assault weapons.

By The Associated Press

Eleanor Coppola, who documented the making of some of her husband Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic films, including the infamously tortured production of “Apocalypse Now,” and who raised a family of filmmakers, has died. She was 87.

Coppola died Friday at home in Rutherford, California, her family announced in a statement.

Eleanor, who grew in Orange County, California, met Francis while working as an assistant art director on his directorial debut, the Roger Corman-produced 1963 horror film “Dementia 13.” (She had studied design at UCLA.) Within months of dating, Eleanor became pregnant and the couple were wed in Las Vegas in February 1963.

Their first-born, Gian-Carlo, quickly became a regular presence in his father’s films, as did their subsequent children, Roman (born in 1965) and Sofia (born in 1971). After acting in their father’s films and growing up on sets, all would go into the movies.

“I don’t know what the family has given except I hope they’ve set an example of a family encouraging each other in their creative process whatever it may be,” Eleanor told The Associated Press in 2017. “It happens in our family that everyone chose to sort of follow in the family business. We weren’t asking them to or expecting them to, but they did. At one point Sofia said, ‘The nut does not fall far from the tree.’”

Gian-Carlo, who’s seen in the background of many of his father’s films and had begun doing second-unit photography, died at the age of 22 in a 1986 boating accident. He was killed while riding in a boat piloted by Griffin O’Neal, son of Ryan O’Neal, who was found guilty of negligence.

Roman directed several movies of his own and regularly collaborates with Wes Anderson. He’s president of his father’s San Francisco-based film company, American Zoetrope.

Sofia became one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of her generation as the writer-director of films including “Lost in Translation” and the 2023 release “Priscilla.” Sofia dedicated that film to her mother.

In joining the family business, the Coppola children weren’t just following in their father’s footsteps but their mother’s, too. Beginning on 1979’s “Apocalypse Now,” Eleanor frequently documented the behind-the-scenes life of Francis’ films. The Philippines-set shoot of “Apocalypse Now” lasted 238 days. A typhoon destroyed sets. Martin Sheen had a heart attack. A member of the construction crew died.

Eleanor documented much of the chaos in what would become one of the most famous making-of films about moviemaking, 1991’s “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse.”

“I was just trying to keep myself occupied with something to do because we were out there for so long,” Eleanor told CNN in 1991. “They wanted five minutes for a TV promotional or something and I thought sooner of later I could get five minutes of film and then it went on to 15 minutes.”

“I just kept shooting but I had no idea ... the evolution of myself that I saw with my camera,” continued Eleanor, who ended up shooting 60 hours worth of footage. “So, it was a surprise for both of us and a life changing experience.”

Eleanor also published “Notes: On the Making of ‘Apocalypse Now’” in 1979. While the film focused on the film set tumult, the book charted some of Eleanor’s inner turmoil, including the challenges of being married to a larger-than-life figure. She wrote of being a “woman isolated from my friends, my affairs and my projects” during their year in Manilla. She also frankly discusses Francis having an extramarital affair.

“There is part of me that has been waiting for Francis to leave me, or die, so that I can get my life the way I want it,” wrote Eleanor. “I wonder if I have the guts to get it the way I want it with him in it.”

They remained together, though, throughout her life. And Eleanor continued to seek out creative outlets for herself. She documented several more of her husband’s films, as well as Roman’s “CQ” and Sofia’s “Marie Antoinette.” She wrote a memoir in 2008, “Notes on a Life.”

In 2016, at the age of 80, Eleanor made her narrative debut in “Paris Can Wait,” a romantic comedy starring Diane Lane. She followed that up with “Love Is Love Is Love” in 2020. Eleanor had initially set out only to write the screenplay to “Paris Can Wait.”

“One morning at the breakfast table my husband said, ‘Well you should direct it.’ I was totally startled,” Eleanor told The AP. “But I said ‘Well, I never wrote a script before and I’ve never directed, why not?’ I was kind of saying ‘why not’ to everything.”

This question is, is it ever justified to torture an individual to save the lives of many? And if the answer is yes, how far can you go? This issue is indeed a very sensitive subject and I think it takes guts for any filmmaker to put it out there in the open like Gregor Jordan did. Add to that the clever fact that he doesn’t actually make a choice, but rather lets the audience decide on whatever they want to think and feel, and you have a pretty gutsy and controversial concept. In a nutshell, this film is about a man of American descent who has become a Muslim and has now, as an act of terrorism, planted 3 nuclear bombs in 3 major American cities which will go off in four days. Screenwriter Peter Woodward made some very tactical decisions considering the characters in the story. They are all somewhat stereotypical, but this is no bother because they’re all there for a reason. Carrie-Anne Moss, as an FBI investigator, represents the conscience, the sensitivity and the struggle to make the right decision. Samuel L. Jackson is her polar opposite; the brutal, rational, stone cold “interrogator” who does what he does because he’s the only one who can and willing to do it. The means he is willing to go to in order to get his subject to talk ...

1. “Tradición Kukeri”. Rila, Bulgaria – Ivo Danchev (Finalista, Premio de travel. 2023 de agosto)

Este cautivador retrato presenta a un grupo de Kukeri, bailarines enmascarados búlgaros que cada año se ponen pieles de cabra para realizar antiguos rituales paganos. El uso de máscaras permite a los bailarines encarnar seres sobrenaturales, entrando en un reino espiritual para protegerse de las fuerzas malévolas y dar paso a bendiciones y vitalidad para el nuevo año. Ivo Danchev captura esta tradición maravillosamente, los paisajes invernales proporcionan un fondo minimalista perfecto.drop que acentúa las llamativas siluetas y los trajes intrincadamente adornados, capturando así la esencia de una antigua tradición que permanece bien conservada en Bulgaria.

2. “Después de la boda en la iglesia”. Wexford, Irlanda – Joseph-Philippe Bevillard (Ganador del segundo premio, Street Photography Premio. febrero 2021)

La imagen de Joseph-Philippe Bevillard captura a un grupo de mujeres y niñas de la comunidad itinerante irlandesa reunidas después de un servicio religioso. Se estima que hay unos 100,000 travelros irlandeses en Irlanda y el Reino Unido, la mayoría de los cuales son católicos romanos devotos.

Un ejemplo cautivador de sinceridad. street photography, la imagen de Bevillard recuerda algunos de los primeros trabajos de Martin Parr: el primer plano, la perspectiva ligeramente bajada y los sujetos apiñados en el encuadre transmiten la energía de la escena, transportan al espectador a ese momento y le ofrecen una vislumbrar la vida de una comunidad única.

3. “Incluso los hijos de Buda son sólo niños”. Siem Reap, Camboya – Jozef Macak (Selección del editor, premio People. Octubre de 2020)

En Siem Reap, Camboya, Jozef Macak captura maravillosamente la inocencia y la alegría de la infancia. Ataviados con sus distintivas túnicas color castaño rojizo, un grupo de jóvenes monjes se toma un descanso de sus estudios y deberes para jugar, balanceándose entre las ramas de un árbol y las paredes en forma de escalones del antiguo templo. La experta sincronización y encuadre de Macak capturan hábilmente la esencia despreocupada de la escena, encarnando el sentimiento del título, ya que incluso el joven budista más devoto necesita momentos para ser simplemente un niño.

4. “AMOR” – mike chen (Selección del editor, premio People. Octubre de 2019)

La conmovedora imagen de Mike Chen captura a una pareja que vive en las calles de San Francisco, una ciudad que alberga a algunas de las personas más ricas del mundo pero que también tiene una de las tasas más altas de personas sin hogar en los Estados Unidos. Elena y Zach, que luchan contra la adicción a la heroína, se apoyan mutuamente y mantienen la aspiración de liberarse de su adicción y comprar una pequeña casa juntos. Esta imagen es poderosa y captura tanto su conmovedora resiliencia como la profunda melancolía de sus circunstancias.

5. Sin título. Bangladesh – dibujó la tolva (Finalista, Premio travels. Agosto 2022)

La absorbente representación de Drew Hopper de un puerto de Bangladesh es un ejemplo de cómo un encuadre y una superposición impecables pueden crear un efecto poderoso. Los ojos del espectador se ven inmediatamente atraídos por la fila de trabajadores que navegan cuidadosamente por un "puente" estrecho, con sus cargas en equilibrio precario sobre sus cabezas. Están meticulosamente alineados entre las piernas de alguien más cercano a la cámara, creando una composición cautivadora, mientras que, más lejos, barcos, figuras y estructuras industriales se desvanecen en el brumoso horizonte, añadiendo profundidad a la escena.

6. “Castells”. Cataluña, España – Guille Ibáñez (Finalista, Premio Personas. Noviembre 2016)

La imagen de Guille Ibáñez retrata un castell derrumbado, una torre humana construida en festivales en Cataluña, España (una tradición considerada por la UNESCO como una de las Obras Maestras del Patrimonio Oral e Inmaterial de la Humanidad). Durante estas festividades, múltiples 'Colles Castelleres' (equipos que erigen estas torres) tienen como objetivo construir y luego desmontar estas intrincadas estructuras. La imagen de Ibáñez captura vívidamente la energía frenética del evento, un mosaico de miembros entrelazados vestidos en tonos vibrantes que recuerdan a una pintura del Renacimiento italiano, acentuado por la exuberancia de los espectadores cuyo estado de ánimo contrasta marcadamente con la aparente incomodidad de los participantes del 'castell'.

7. Puente colgante Hussaini. Hunza, norte de Pakistán – Jørgen Johanson (Selección del editor, Premio de travel. 2020 de agosto)

Esta impresionante imagen muestra a tres aldeanos locales transportando sus mercancías a través del puente Hussaini en el norte de Pakistán, con los majestuosos y escarpados picos de la cordillera del Karakoram al fondo. Anteriormente conocido como "el puente más peligroso del mundo", fue destruido por una tormenta monzónica en 2011 y posteriormente reconstruido de manera más segura, y ahora sirve como un vínculo vital para los habitantes de las aldeas en el lado este del río Hunza con la autopista Karakoram. y otros asentamientos en el lado occidental.

8. “Los jardines desde el cielo”. Cuba – Monia Marchionni (Ganador del tercer premio, Street Photography Premio. febrero 2021)

La imagen de Monia Marchionni representa a tres generaciones de italocubanos mientras disfrutan de los espacios al aire libre de una casa de época con vistas al mar. Tomada desde una perspectiva aérea, la experta coordinación y encuadre de Marchionni capturan maravillosamente la teatralidad del momento, en el que cada miembro de la familia se convierte en un personaje de esta escena. La fotografía no solo retrata un vínculo multigeneracional, sino que también resuena con la energía vibrante y las idiosincrasias a menudo inherentes a las conexiones familiares, lo que demuestra por qué los momentos de la vida cotidiana pueden ser verdaderamente convincentes.

9. “Festival Hadaka Matsuri”. Okayama, Japón, 2019 – Kars Tuinder (Selección del editor, Premio PEOPLE. Octubre 2021)

Este momento un tanto surrealista fue capturado durante el Saidaiji Eyo Hadaka Matsuri en Okayama. Japón, en el que una multitud de miles de hombres casi desnudos compiten ansiosamente por objetos "de la suerte" arrojados por los sacerdotes. Este festival anual, que se remonta a más de 500 años, atrae a alrededor de 9,000 hombres, que desafían el frío clima de febrero en busca de fortuna para el próximo año. La imagen de Tuinder es convincente y captura la energía, la camaradería y el espíritu de los participantes mientras se sumergen en esta antigua tradición.

10. “Amanecer en Cox's Bazar”. Bangladesh – Didier Vanderperre (Finalista, Premio de travel. 2023 de agosto)

Esta impresionante escena fue capturada en el mercado de pescado de la ciudad de Cox's Bazar, en el sur de Bangladesh. Las tres figuras en primer plano, enmarcadas naturalmente por la estructura de madera, son una imagen de tranquilidad. Sus posturas relajadas parecen despertarse gradualmente a medida que presencian el amanecer proyectando su brillo dorado sobre las aguas resplandecientes y la multitud de barcos pesqueros que parten para pescar la mañana. Es una imagen que comunica perfectamente la atmósfera de la escena, dotando al espectador de la sensación de que está allí.

A car takes two characters on a journey through the four seasons, on a project that reflects what’s actually the meaning of reality. “Drives you Wonder” is a car commercial that questions whether a new virtual or an expected physical conclusion are the ultimate answer. This inner reflection blossoms an external revelation about the value of our state of mind, embracing the possibility of always being able to create our own reality, telling us that a feeling can take us anywhere.

“I Am YEG Arts” Series: Alyson Dicey

Photo by Brianne Jang, BB Collective Photography

For Alyson Dicey, there’s only moving forward. And she knows there’s strength in not doing it all alone. That collaborative spirit and positive attitude are but two of the many amazing qualities that have made her not only accomplished, but happy. Luck for us, making people laugh also brings her joy, which she pays forward as part of the fabulous sketch comedy troupe, Girl Brain. When she’s not writing and performing you’ll likely find her directing, producing, and encouraging other women to have confidence in their voices and abilities. This week’s “I Am YEG Arts” story belongs to Alyson Dicey.

Tell us about your connection to Edmonton and why you’ve made it your home.

I moved to Edmonton in 2007 in the hopes of getting into the BFA acting program at the University of Alberta. Like many teachers, my high school drama teacher, Rhonda McCarthy, was instrumental in encouraging me and helping me plan my future. She advised me that this acting program was one of the best in the country, and I think to this day she is right! Eventually I did get into the BFA acting program, and it shaped who I met, how I know myself, and set me in the direction for where I am today! That’s why I came to Edmonton.

Why I stayed? Because of the arts community. The people who work in the arts here are some of the most accepting, creative, and inspiring people I’ve ever met. I have always felt a “yes, and” attitude here. Whenever I wanted to create something, there was always a friend who wanted to collaborate, a festival application open, and chats-till-dawn over wine about how and when we can make art happen!

When you were first starting out, what was it about the arts that made you feel like it could be your community?

The festivals in Edmonton are how I started out. We have so many great festivals, including one of the largest Fringe Fests in the world (of which I proudly work for now as KidsFringe Coordinator during the summers). NextFest gave me my first pay cheque in the arts, handed to me by one of my heroes, Steve Pirot. Found Fest, Fringe, SkirtsAFire, Expanse, and so many others allow artists to experiment, audiences to engage in a wide range of theatre and other art forms, and the arts community to come together! I love the buzz of a theatre lobby during a festival. I’ve done some weird shows in festivals!

How did Girl Brain come to be? And what is it about sketch comedy that suits your strengths as a storyteller?

Girl Brain started when Caley Suliak moved back to Edmonton after living in San Francisco for a few years. We (Ellie Heath and I) had missed her, and the catching-up sessions turned into writing sessions when we realized how many hilarious stories we had. We were all auditioning constantly, and our hopes and dreams seemed to always be at the fate of some director-man who pulled the strings. We were all a bit over this and wanted to write our own stories to put on stage. This coincided with our friend Byron Martin opening up the Grindstone Comedy Theatre. I recall a late night party in a hot tub where he mentioned needing more acts, especially shows that weren’t improv. And I thought, I have a pitch for you! I brought it back to the girls, and the rest is herstory. All we needed was a name for our troupe, and Caley had that covered. “Today I have girl brain” is what she always says when she’s feeling like her head is in the clouds, or her mind is on a certain someone she shouldn’t be flirting with, or her heart is fixed on something she’s absolutely obsessed with. A feeling of overwhelming, heart-fluttering, joy-inducing mania! And I love it because our girl brains are powerful! Intelligent women taking over positions of leadership! Watch out, world!

Sketch comedy is our current form of storytelling because it’s short and sweet. You can easily pack houses with people who want to have a fun night out and still leave them with a message you care about. Caley and Ellie and I spend most of our time together laughing, and I think that’s kept me going these last few years. It feels good.

What is the writing process like for you? Where do you usually begin, and how do you develop an idea?

I like writing when we have a theme for the show. When we did our monthly shows at Grindstone in 2018–2019, we were generating a ton of content. It felt easy coming up with sketches for a Valentine’s Day show or a Christmas themed show. We’ve done what feels like one hundred themed shows. Once we did a back-to-school theme that was so fun—we interviewed young girls heading back to school and played films of their answers during the show.

Sometimes the writing starts with a funny idea that came up in our chats, sometimes with an annoying thing we experienced (often in ourselves), or from characters we see out in the wild here in Edmonton. Hypocrisies are the best in for me—when I catch myself or someone doing the opposite of what their whole M.O. is. Then you also have to have a point of view and decide who’s relaying the message. We love writing for each other and coming up with characters we want to see each other dig into.

Top: Girl Brain, photo by Brianne Jang, BB Collective Photography; Bottom: Kids Fringe team, photo provided by the artist.

Tell us a little about your role with Thou Art Here Theatre and what makes it special to you and the city.

I joined Thou Art Here in 2013 after Andrew Ritchie and Neil Kuefler founded the company in 2012. I was a big Shakespeare nerd and wanted to get on stage and strut my stuff! Thou Art Here was doing Shakespeare in unexpected places—taking the bard to the streets with site-specific theatre. I thought this was the coolest thing I’d ever seen at the time. Now Thou Art Here (TAH) has transformed, and I’m still on board helping out where I can as an Artistic Associate. We’ve shifted away from the Shakespeare angle and instead try to represent Edmonton the way we see it—amplifying Edmonton artists, community, and neighbourhoods.

Immersive theatre is so interesting to me because it doesn’t allow the audience to check out. They are right there with the actors, they are a part of the story, and integral to the experience. I’ve been inspired by immersive theatre like Dead Centre of Town and Found Festival for a long time. I’m inspired all the time by Andrew, who is now Artistic Director of TAH. He works so hard and has grown this company from us weirdos running around in LRT stations yelling sonnets at people to a non-profit that’s making important work in our city (We’re still weirdos though).

Who’s someone inspiring you right now?

I’m inspired by Sheiny Satanove, the Managing Director for Punctuate! Theatre. I recently started working as a producer for Punctuate!, and I’m learning so much. She’s many people’s go-to person for all things producing in the city. Sheiny is a powerhouse—she’s smart, witty, and fierce as hell.

Tell us about a lesson you’ve had to learn more than once.

There are too many to put down in words. One is instant forgiveness for myself when I mess up, rather than beating myself up for something that’s in the past. There’s only moving forward. I’m trying to be more patient.

When you think YEG arts, what are the first three things, people, or places that come to mind?

Artists and artist-run centres. Harcourt House, Latitude 53, SNAP, and VASA are where you should be if you want to see art in Edmonton/St. Albert.

The Festivals! This is Festival City, and people go cuckoo for them! Folk Fest, Shakespeare in the Park, Fringe, Found Festival, Expanse, Flying Canoe, Winterruption.

CKUA Radio because it’s where you go for all your arts info, news, and music. And I love the hosts!

Tell us a little about what you’re currently working on or hoping to explore next.

Girl Brain has shows at the Roxy Theatre, Dec 16 to 18, with special guest Sissy Fit! Sissy is a Glamdrogynous Gender Fluid Glamazonian Gladiator Drag Performstress, and they are going to rock the stage with us this holiday season. We are taking over the beautiful Nancy Power Theatre, and we are stoked to get jolly! You can get tickets here.

We also have a project with the Girl Brain girls and Bradley Moss (Artistic Director of Theatre Network) coming up. We can’t say much yet, but stay tuned! We’re cooking up something very cool.

What makes you hopeful these days?

I see art happening in our city that is important and reflects who lives here. Like Evandalism, by MC RedCloud, that just happened as part of the Fringe season. And Identity, by Matthew Wood (a.k.a., Creeasian), as his City of Edmonton 2021-22 Indigenous Artist in Residence final showcase. Or the upcoming Punctuate! Theatre show, First Métis Man of Odesa, by Matthew MacKenzie and Mariya Khomutova, that tells a real-life love story in the midst of a pandemic and war in Ukraine. The Shoe Project, which acts as both a community-building and English-language-learners’ support system, as well as a phenomenal show that tells first-hand immigration stories of women new to Canada. I see my nieces and nephew growing up as smart, curious people who are going to make this world a better place (no pressure, kids). And teachers and healthcare workers who persevere even when they have very little support from the powers that be.
