‘Father with Shoe,’ Roselle Chartock
ROSELLE CHARTOCK COLLAGES on EXHIBIT in HUDSON GALLERY
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Roselle Kline Chartock, of Great Barrington, Mass., is one of three new artists exhibiting this month at 510 Warren Street Gallery‘s May Invitational until Sunday, May 26, 2013. Chartock is a native of Hudson, N.Y., and the work in her exhibition, A Relative History of Hudson, addresses her personal connection to this riverfront town. The other artists in this month’s invitational show are Bob Crimi and Hans Heuberger. All of the artworks in Chartock’s mixed-media show, A Relative History of Hudson, include images of, or connections to, her father, Bill Kline, a Hudson native (as is Chartock), or to her grandfather, Samuel, who started the first shoe store of its kind in Hudson in 1900, a few years after arriving in the United States from Hungary.
REGIONAL ROCK SUPERGROUP to DEBUT at HELSINKI
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Members of several of the Hudson region’s top bands have joined forces to form a sort of supergroup called the Faux Meek, which will have its live debut at Club Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, May 18, 2013, at 8pm, when it warms up the crowd for slide guitar wizard David Jacobs-Strain. Featuring musicians from Mother Fletcher, Two Gun Man, Citizen Band and the Luxury Flats, the Faux Meek is a quartet that plays a moody style of organic drone-rock featuring vocal harmonies, electric guitar and dreamy keyboards. Think the Velvet Underground meets the Grateful Dead at a Cocteau Twins concert.
