Note from American photographer and filmmaker William George Linich, known professionally as Billy Name, on exhibition at The Andy Warhol Musuem in Pittsburgh, PA.

Archival description: "Soon after Warhol was shot on June 3, 1968, [Billy] Name began to withdraw from the Warhol crowd. He gradually became more involved in astrology and Eastern and occult mysticism and spent most of his time studying alone in his darkroom. Sometime in the winter of 1969–70 Name departed, leaving only this note to Warhol."

You can probably guess where this “grape” agate gets its name. It is now on display at Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Pool Boats on the Rivers of Big Coal and Steel - or - How the W.P. Snyder, Jr. Would Have Looked at Work.

The towboat, or pool boat, Crucible of the Crucible Steel Company, on the Monongahela River, near the Point at Pittsburgh. [1]

As I often do, when I visit some place or something historic I soon turn to the Library of Congress to see if it has any old photos of the subject.  After visiting the “pool boat” W.P. Snyder, Jr., moored at the Ohio River Museum in Marietta, Ohio, I searched the LOC’s collections for images of that craft, a search which so far has yielded no results -- but I did note the amazing similarity between Crucible (pictured above) and Snyder (below).  I also noted that as the last of the “pool type” towboats, Snyder is a near-perfect example of the kind, as most of the pool boats, in fact, looked very much alike.

Postcard view of the W.P. Snyder, Jr., at the Ohio River Musuem. [2]

Crucible and Snyder are siblings after that fashion of pool boat, though built more than a decade apart and in two wildly different locations: the Snyder (1918 as the W.H. Clingerman) was floated in Pittsburgh, PA; the Crucible (1904 as the Charlie Jutte) in Jeffersonville, IN, near Louisville, KY.  Both were purchased “used” (or maybe “pre-owned”) by Crucible Steel, but Crucible is of all-wood construction, whereas Snyder has a steel hull. They do share more than just their appearance, though: according to the information hand-out available at the museum, Snyder received Crucible’s whistle in 1948, when Crucible was sent to scrap.

“Gallipolis, Ohio.  In the locks at the dam, seen from the pilot house of the towboat Charles T. Campbell.” [3]  Note the steering levers: the pilot has his left hand resting on the port lever in this shot.

Here, some “in action” shots of pool boat-type towboats with barges on the Ohio River.  The lock-and-dam near Gallipolis, OH, presents a typical scene of the kind found on the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio, and upper Mississippi Rivers, the dams built to aid navigation and for flood control.

The Campbell pilot house seen above is notably missing the very large pilot wheel that was included when Snyder was built:

though the Snyder does have the steering levers (highlighted above in front of the wheel). [4]  Either the wheel or the levers could be used on Snyder, but levers were made possible by the advent of “power steering:” hydraulic rams attached to the rudder arms in the engineering room assisted the pilot when maneuvering.  By the time the Campbell was built (whenever that was), keeping the big wheel had clearly fallen out of fashion.

Snyder, Campbell, and the Catherine Davis (following) were referred to as “pool boats” for their overall size and working environment.  Shorter above the waterline to permit passage under lower bridges, often with hinges in the smoke stacks so that they could be lowered, they are different from the larger packet boats that offered mixed freight-and-passenger service between the river cities and towns.  Pool boats were built large enough to perform the task of pushing the barges about, with accommodation enough for the crew, and nothing else.

“Gallipolis, Ohio.  Coal barges passing through locks.” [3]

These last three shots show the towboat Catherine Davis with coal barges entering and leaving the Gallipolis locks on the Ohio River. 

The pool boats’ working environment were the “pools” created behind the locks-and-dams on the rivers of the Big Coal and Steel region, and while I haven’t read anything to the effect yet, I’d be surprised if they weren’t built specifically to fit within a lock alongside the barges they conveyed; as seen in the above photo, the boat and barges are four widths across the breadth of the lock, with literally just enough room to spare.  For all that, pool boats did, like the towboats of today, go anywhere on the rivers they were needed.

Karen Yasinsky  sky every day  Platform Project Space

20 Jay Street, #319 Brooklyn, NY 11201

June 19 - August 19, 2018

Platform is a new project space in Dumbo, Brooklyn founded by Elizabeth Hazan to showcase and support work by fellow artists and develop curatorial projects. Platform will be open by appointment this Summer. For further information, please contact [email protected] or call 917 494 7595.

Platform is pleased to present “sky every day,” a show of works on paper by Baltimore based film and visual artist Karen Yasinsky.

Taking its title from a poem by Aram Saroyan, “sky every day,” marks Yasinsky’s return to two dimensional work after many years of focusing on her acclaimed films. Like Saroyan, who reduces poems to starkly necessary words so that they become compressed objects on the page, radiant with meaning, Yasinsky employs flatness and reduction to make powerful forms. Works include hand-drawn copies of pixilated images, drawings of surreal abstracted heads, collages and photo-based works. All are made with an obsessive concentration and attention to the mark, line, dot or color. The subject falls away in the process to be found in the end in the finished object. The work here ranges from single and double image drawings made with graphite, gouache, ink, collage, Polaroids, ink-jet prints and ribbon.

Yasinsky considers drawing, collage, found footage and appropriated images to be objects with potential energy. Her film practice considers the joining of fragmented images, activating and configuring them in ways that examine a metonymical flow of consciousness. For this show, she is working with her own drawings as found objects, put in relation to each other, fragmented images from Paul Outerbridge photographs, original photos and old Polaroids of the sky. Her drawing practice focuses mostly on faces, a universal given. “The creation of a face/head is about a continual re-drawing, trying to find something to communicate meaning through an extended process and inevitably about failure.” In these haunting and resonant images, Yasinsky carries over the obsessive mark making that is a hallmark of her animation work and imbues these images withsomething uncertain but deeply sincere about being human.

something uncertain but deeply sincere about being human.

Karen Yasinsky was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and has a BA from Duke University and an MFA from Yale. Her video installations and drawings have been shown in many venues internationally including the Mori Art Musuem, Tokyo; PS1 Contemporary Art, NY; UCLA Hammer Museum, LA; the Wexner Center, Columbus, Museum Folkwang, Essen, Kunst Werke, Berlin and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Her films and videos have been screened worldwide at various venues and film festivals including the National Gallery of Art, DC, MoMA, NY, the New York Film Festival's Views from the Avant Garde, Crossroads, SF, the San Francisco International Film Festival, Images Festival, Toronto, the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Ann Arbor Film Festival where she won the Leon Speakers Award for Best Sound Design in 2013. She is the recipient of a Baker Award, Guggenheim Fellowship and is a fellow of the American Academy in Berlin and the American Academy in Rome. She teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Film and Media Studies.

Can you dig it? The exhibition hall, Age of Mammals: The Cenozoic Era, has a new look that includes this fun logo for Bone Hunters’ Quarry. The popular exhibit that invites kids to dig for fossils in a recreation of Dinosaur National Monument in Utah is now reopened after several months of updates.
