SUMMARY:Daniel Kelly Group: Celebrating Paul Pines
DESCRIPTION:About Daniel Kelly / The Daniel Kelly Group\nPianist & composer Daniel Kelly first performed at Jazz at the Lake in 2004 with the Harvie S band. He returned over the years with his Emerge Trio\, the WORKS Trio with Joe Lovano\, and his multimedia collaboration with The Seeing with Photography Collective\, Blind Visionaries\, inaugurating the first Friday evening Jazz at the Lake performance. \nAn artist who explores the meeting place of music with literature\, visual art and journalism with his various projects\, Daniel has created several works that incorporate poetry\, including All the World’s a Song: Shakespeare in Jazz\, which interprets Shakespeare’s words as lyrics to jazz songs. \nIn honor of the 40th anniversary of the festival\, Daniel uses the poetry of Paul Pines as inspiration for the music for this year’s performance. Paul\, who founded the Lake George Jazz Weekend along with John Strong in 1984\, was a dear friend to Daniel. He previously collaborated with Paul in his final months in 2018\, composing settings for poems from his book Gathering Sparks in a 45-minute suite scored for a jazz septet titled Museum of the Infinite. This year\, Daniel will explore Paul’s poetry throughout his writing career\, anthologized in the collection A Furnace in the Shadows: Selected Poems. \nKelly’s music has been declared “powerfully moving” by Time Out New York. He has performed with Grammy-award winners Joe Lovano & Nicole Zuraitis\, hip-hop star Lauryn Hill\, cutting-edge modern classical The Bang on a Can All-Stars and a long list of jazz musicians such as NEA Jazz Masters Dave Liebman & Sheila Jordan\, Don Byron\, Donny McCaslin\, Bobby Sanabria and many others. \nRakonto\, Kelly’s series of interview-based concerts\, have been commissioned by 13 performing art centers across the US. Each of these concert-length works have transformed stories of everyday people – farmers\, teachers\, students\, seniors\, immigrants and hurricane survivors – into dramatic and compelling music that celebrates our shared human experience. \nDaniel has been honored to continue Paul’s role as Curator of Jazz at the Lake for the past five years. \n“I remain convinced that Daniel Kelly is one of the most stunningly original talents both as an improviser and a leader that I have known in a long career of promoting this art form. His musical ideas spring naturally from a visionary imagination.” — Paul Pines\, Curator\, Lake George Jazz Weekend \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Daniel Kelly – pianoJesse Lewis – guitarIke Sturm – bassJared Schonig – drumsDavid Gonzalez – spoken word\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				HIS MUSIC\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				All the World’s a Stage; Shakespeare in Jazz\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Entrance to the Underworld – poetry by Paul Pines\, music composed by Daniel Kelly\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More about Daniel Kelly\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				4 DAYS • 17 SHOWS • 4 SPECIAL EVENTSCELEBRATING 40 YEARS!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				THURSDAY 9/12 @ 6PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 1PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 10AM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FRIDAY 9/13 @ 6PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 3PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 1PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FRIDAY 9/13 @ 7:30PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 5PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 3PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 9AM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 8PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 5PM

SUMMARY:Danilo Pérez\, John Patitucci & Adam Cruz Trio
DESCRIPTION:About Danilo Pérez\, John Patitucci & Adam Cruz \nFor over three decades\, Grammy Award Winning Panamanian pianist/composer Danilo Pérez has been lauded as one of the most creative forces in contemporary music. With jazz as the anchoring foundation\, Pérez’s Global jazz music is a blend of Panamanian roots\, Latin American folk music\, West African rhythms\, European impressionism – promoting music as a borderless and multidimensional bridge between all people. Pérez will be accompanied by his longtime collaborator\, the distinguished bassist John Patitucci. Both Perez and Patitucci were integral members of Wayne Shorter’s legendary quartet\, celebrated for its innovative and unpredictable music spanning many years. We encounter these two exceptional musicians in the trio of Perez that is completed by the impactful drummer Adam Cruz. \nJohn Patitucci is one of the finest and most versatile bassists in the world on upright and electric bass. John has a recording and performance resume that could easily be transcribed into a book – he has played throughout the world with his own band and with jazz luminaries Chick Corea\, Herbie Hancock\, Wayne Shorter\, Stan Getz\, Wynton Marsalis\, Joshua Redman\, Michael Brecker\, Randy Brecker\, Freddie Hubbard\, Tony Williams\, Hubert Laws\, Mulgrew Miller\, James Williams\, and many more. He has played with pop and Brazilian heavyweights including Sting\, Aaron Neville\, Natalie Cole\, Carole King\, Milton Nascimiento\, Astrud and Joao Gilberto\, Airto and Flora Purim. A truly well rounded player whose legacy will stand the test of time. \nDrummer\, composer\, and educator Adam Cruz was born in New York City and has been a vital creative force on the international jazz scene. He leads his own group\, is an integral part of renowned pianist Danilo Perez’s trio\, and regularly works with artists such as Tom Harrell\, The Mingus Big Band\, Joey Calderazzo\, Chris Potter\, Steve Wilson and Edward Simon. Adam currently teaches at CCNY and the Berklee Global Jazz Institute. As a drummer\, Adam represents a unique place in the American jazz lineage. His mixed ethnic background informs his playing in ways that transcend easy stylistic categorization. The wealth of his rhythmic knowledge\, his deep sense of swing\, and his knowledge of Latin American rhythms\, all coalesce into his personal sound\, giving his playing a powerful depth and a rare and distinctive musicality. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Danilo Pérez: Piano\nJohn Patitucci: Electric & Upright Bass\nAdam Cruz: Drums\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				THEIR MUSIC\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Danilo Perez\, John Patitucci and Adam Cruz at the Artists’ Quarter\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panama Libre – Danilo Perez\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More about Danilo Pérez\, John Patitucci & Adam Cruz Trio\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				4 DAYS • 17 SHOWS • 4 SPECIAL EVENTSCELEBRATING 40 YEARS!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				THURSDAY 9/12 @ 6PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 1PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 10AM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FRIDAY 9/13 @ 6PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 3PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 1PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FRIDAY 9/13 @ 7:30PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 5PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 3PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 9AM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SATURDAY 9/14 @ 8PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SUNDAY 9/15 @ 5PM

We sleep as our bodies lay dying\, preferring the limitlessness and safety of fantasies rather than the reality of the growing inferno. Our inability to acknowledge or agree on a collective logic has ensnared us into a new Dark Age\, which will likely lead to our extinction\, or worse\, mass obsolescence to simulacra. The human figures in the robotic installation Corpo and the mechanisms that prop them up serve as a metaphor for our collective denialism.  \nEach figure in the installation is in a state of deep sleep as they work\, ride the subway\, watch tv\, or lounge on arm chairs. Unpredictably\, they are put into states of chaotic and violent inertia by the machines they are literally attached to. To ensure the figures stay blissfully sleeping\, an artificial intelligence continuously fills the installation space with a soothing generatively made soundscape\, which acts as a surrogate mother\, humming an endless lullaby. By this the installation Corpo reflects our global culture of looking the other way\, even when our existence is so obviously in peril. \nThe film\nin the electric tower\,\nthat is the dominant\ndisplay. \nEarly in the year 2023\, I had an extraordinarily vivid dream. In this dream\, a sage\, seated inside a large circular hole cut into a stage\, urgently exclaimed to me\, “The film in the electric tower\, that is the dominant display!” The moment was so profound that I awoke suddenly\, scrambling to find something to write with so I wouldn’t forget the message. Since that night\, the sage’s words have resonated\, leaving me bewildered yet intrigued as I struggle to understand their meaning. \nIn this exhibition\, I invite viewers to contemplate their own “electric towers” and “films.” What dominant displays shape your perceptions? What crucial messages are waiting to be screened in your consciousness? Through this body of work\, I aim to illuminate these questions and encourage a deeper understanding of the narratives that define our existence. \n\n  \n \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nGardens of Earthly Delights\n“Bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible.” – Javier Pascual Salcedo \nShame on us\, the children of the future\, for remaining in the dark on cannabis\, a substance ingrained in human history since antiquity. Our comprehension\, obstructed by our delight in distorting reality\, political agendas and bureaucratic absurdities\, remains tragically inadequate in discerning marijuana’s benefits or poisons. For over a century\, “reefer madness” narratives have imprisoned culture and thwarted intellect\, twisting our view on a subject that should be crystal clear\, given our miraculous technologies. Shame on us! \nThanks to the courage of pioneering scholars and researchers\, we have managed to harvest precious limited data on the effects of high-potency cannabis on the population. Yet\, compared to the encyclopedias we have on other\, often younger substances\, what is known is laughable and mostly anecdotal. Until science is free to investigate cannabis without fear of academic\, cultural or legal repercussions\, attempting to create sober policy or regulations on this mysterious substance is as absurd as wondering if\, and how\, space bears can become intoxicated by marijuana. \nBiography: \nFrom robots that hold protests\, extruders that birth populations and machines that are designed for the dead to operate\, Fernando Orellana has collaborated with automation for over twenty years to create transmedia artwork. As a machine designer\, a technologist and a user\, Orellana has blurred the line between himself and the machine in the creative process. The imagery and narrative that Orellana explores spans a spectrum that includes giving agency to automata\, embraces the generatively made\, celebrates the wonder of absurdity and is most often driven by the universes of his subconscious mind. \nHe has exhibited at a variety of regional\, national and international venues\, most recently at the Toledo Museum of Art\, the Speed Art Museum\, the Spring Break Art Show and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. He received a Master of Fine Art from The Ohio State University\, a Bachelor of Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently an Associate Professor of Digital Art in the Visual Arts Department at Union College. He was born in El Salvador\, San Salvador. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \nCourthouse Gallery 1 Lower Amherst Street Lake George\, NY 12845 518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PM Saturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\nFor exhibition information or to schedule a visit outside of gallery hours please contactJune Waters\, Director of Exhibitions june@lakegeorgearts.org 518-668-2616\nThank you to our exhibition sponsors!

SUMMARY:Project Local at the Caldwell-Lake George Library
DESCRIPTION:Mark Grimaldi\nGrimaldi is renowned for his expertise in abstract expressionism; his artistic journey is deeply influenced by the iconic American artist\, Jackson Pollock. With a portfolio of work found in studios\, professional offices\, and private collections\, his style captivates viewers worldwide. \nMastering the “drip” technique over years of dedication\, Grimaldi infused his distinct flair into this iconic method. Seeking innovation\, he adapted the technique to diverse surfaces\, including elevated vertical planes\, without revealing traditional “drips.” \nHe also envisioned reimagining the spectrum of objects suitable for this style\, enriching each with narrative depth and emotive resonance. Through meticulous\nexperimentation\, Grimaldi perfected the fusion of paint type and application method\, achieving his envisioned results. \nEvery creation bears the essence of his soul\, ensuring each piece is a singular\, unparalleled original. Rejecting mass production\, he remains committed to the authenticity of his craft\, eschewing prints in favor of genuine\, intimate artworks. \nMark lives in Lake George. His work is shown at the Tivoli Arts Gallery in Tivoli\, NY\, and Art Gallery 71 in Rhinebeck\, NY\, and can be seen at markgrimaldi.com.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nJude Dolton\nYou see something\, you pull out your camera and take the picture.  That picture is almost exactly what you see in front of you right?  That’s what photography is at its core\, it’s a way to capture the world.  Since almost everyone has a camera in their pocket\, we are seeing the same photos over\, and over.  The more I have noticed this\, the more I have turned away from just documenting what I’m seeing.  Using long exposures\, I have been taking a more impressionistic approach.  I use the term Impressionism because much like the paintings from that era\, even with objects and subject matter you can identify the work is very much still abstract. \nJude Dolton is a 2019 graduate of Glens Falls High School.

I allow the piece to dictate the medium; therefore\, one medium may feed the color saturation\, while another may best enhance shape\, form and pattern. My work is heavily influenced by the natural world\, my surroundings\, color\, repetition and patterns. I am also inspired by the binary energies of chaos and order\, growth and decay. Within my paintings\, I combine elements of representation and abstraction to show this inspiration\, while incorporating a strong sense of beauty. \nMy artwork often starts with an ordered approach while my ideas get outlined on the surface. Influenced by color\, shapes\, and light\, the process of painting develops with many layers. Repetitious forms and patterns emerge\, creating abstract and playful landscapes. My abstractions reflect the journeys and paths we discover in the process of living amidst this natural order. The repetition of object and form attempts to further understand and interpret the natural rhythmic order of the universe—micro and macro—as exhibited by the natural things all around us. \nMy focus is driven by my desire to understand how individual elements and pieces come together to create a whole. My current works use cellular structures as a point of reference. Using ovals and circles as my primary shape\, I begin with a repetition of these shapes to create an abstract environment into which these shapes move along the two-dimensional surface. Working in layers\, I create a floating environment that can be cellular\, floral\, or purely abstract. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Artist’s Bio \nAli Herrmann is a mixed media painter based in Troy\, NY. Raised in the bucolic Berkshires of Massachusetts\, Herrmann developed an early interest in the raw beauty of the natural landscape\, the ever-changing seasons\, and the rich flora and fauna of the region. \nThroughout her nearly 30-year career as an artist\, Herrmann has been awarded multiple grants including the New York State Council for the Arts (2023\, 2022); A.R.T. fund\, NY (2020); Martha Boschen Porter Fund Grant from the Berkshire Taconic Foundation\, MA (2019\, 2014); and a Massachusetts Cultural Council grant (2017). She has exhibited widely including Ford Studios\, VA; The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, NY; Albany Center Gallery\, NY; Emerge Gallery\, NY; and The Berkshire Museum\, MA. Her work is in the permanent collections of RCA Screen Gems Productions\, CA; Sony Pictures Entertainment\, NY; Red Lion Inn\, MA; as well as several private collections.

SUMMARY:Project Local: Vincent Woolley Photographs through March 1st
DESCRIPTION:Bio \nAs a graduate of William and Mary College with a degree in teaching\, Woolley decided that sitting in a classroom was not really where he wanted to be. His love of art and the outdoors led him to the life of a photographer\, and although he worked in many fields of photography\, landscape photography is his real love. His early work was influenced by photographers Edward Weston\, Ansel Adams\, Minor Whyte\, and Wynn Bullock.  \nHe soon developed his own style which was more personal and abstract.  Most of his early work was done with a 4 x 5 View Camera shooting black and white; today he works with digital cameras in both black and white and color. \nHe was awarded a grant to photograph in Antarctica in 2015. Previous exhibitions include: Little Church Gallery\, NJ After Image Gallery\, Dallas\, TX The Courthouse Gallery\, Lake George Various galleries in Florida Publications: Southwest Photo Dallas Photo Adirondack Life \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Artist’s Reception at the Caldwell-Lake George LibraryMonday\, February 10th6:00 – 8:00 PM \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Artist’s Statement \nThe work you will see in this exhibition covers many years.  As a landscape photographer\, my work includes anything that I find beautiful.  My favorite subjects include the Southwest\, ice\, river foam\, and water reflections\, all of which you can see here. I really like pictures that make you think and take a while to figure out.

SUMMARY:The Eye of the River: Textile Paintings by Lola Lefrançois
DESCRIPTION:Images:Top: Detail\, Rainbow Lorikeet\, 160 x 60 inches\, Oil paint and acrylic on fabricRight: Was the Ugly Duckling Ever a Swan?\, 11 x 17 inches\, Oil paint and acrylic on fabric \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Artist’s Statement \nInspired by the utopian quality of Western landscape paintings\, my work exposes the stark contrast between these idyllic scenes and the contemporary treatment of nature and animals. Drawing from my childhood in Auroville\, India—a commune founded on utopian ideals of perfect humanity—I explore the alluring facade of a perfect place that ultimately reveals humanity’s capacity for violence. \nI grew up in Auroville\, an experimental township in India devoted to human unity\, founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (“the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. Living there for 8 years\, I attended Transition School\, where my education focused on our connection with the surrounding environment\, emphasizing notions of awareness and empathy. Leaving Auroville and traveling with my mother\, I became fascinated by the contrasting reality behind the idealized image I grew up with. \nMy work is dedicated to questioning our traditional painting heritage\, referencing and altering both landscape painting and classical interior décor imagery. I paint on used fabrics that have flower or plant pattern reminiscent of traditional bourgeois interiors. Staining and cutting these fabrics\, I deliberately alter and disrupt their original visibility. Referencing movements like the Hudson River School and 18th- and 19th-century European landscape painting\, I adapt my painting crafting fragmented and decaying landscapes. My landscapes are strange yet familiar\, inviting viewers to lose themselves in this illusory sense of peace and calm. Here\, the boundaries blur between pleasure and harm\, beauty and destruction\, challenging us to question how these notions coexist. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artist \nLola Lefrançois is a French artist based in New York City.
