Joseph D’Agnese, author
will be signing his new children's book,
Blockhead: The Life of Fibonacci
at
Books of Wonder
the legendary children's bookstore on
Saturday, October 23, from 12 to 2 p.m.
Joining him is the illustrator of the book, John O'Brien. John is a longtime illustrator and cartoonist for the New Yorker. The two have never met, and this will be their first time
talking about the book and signing copies.
Blockhead is a children's picture book about the famous, real-life mathematician who discovered the Fibonacci Sequence, the number pattern which governs how so many objects in nature grow and flourish. The book is set in Italy and the world of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages.
While the range is approximately grades 2 to 6, older kids can use it in a service learning project with younger students. Teachers and librarians like it because it's a perfect jumping-off point for teaching number patterns. If you are a teacher, I can direct you to some easy lesson plans as well.
The most exciting news? Just this past weekend we were reviewed in the New York Times Book Review!
If you have kids or grandkids, this event might be a fun thing to do for a Saturday. The bookstore is amazing, and right next store is the Cupcake Cafe. So bring the kids, or pass this on to someone else who has kids. And yes, if you have a book you bought at another store and want them to sign, yes, the author/illustrator can sign it for you, just off Books of Wonder's premises.

EAGERLY AWAITED VAMPIRE THRILLER ‘LET ME IN’ WITH
DIRECTOR MATT REEVES AND STAR CHLOË MORETZ IN PERSON
At SVA Theater, on September 30, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
Let Me In (2010, 115 mins.) was produced by the legendary British horror brand Hammer Films, and is being released in the U.S. on October 1 by Overture Films.
The haunting and provocative new vampire thriller Let Me In will be shown at an exclusive New York preview screening followed by a discussion with director Matt Reeves and actress Chloë Grace Moretz. Presented by Museum of the Moving Image, the program will take place on Thursday, September 30, 7:00 p.m. at SVA Theater, 333 West 23 Street, Manhattan. The discussion with Reeves and Moritz will be moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz.
Mamet’s A Life in the Theatre will have its Broadway premiere on October 12 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, starring Sir Patrick Stewart and T.R. Knight and directed by Neil Pepe. The play was previously presented in New York in an Off Broadway production in 1977.
About Museum of the Moving Image
Founded in 1981, Museum of the Moving Image is the only institution in the United States that deals comprehensively with the art, technology, and social impact of film, television, and digital media. Housed in a building owned by the City of New York, which is the site of the former Astoria Studio, originally constructed as Paramount’s East Coast production facility in 1920, the Museum boasts the nation’s largest collection of moving image artifacts and screens hundreds of films annually. Its exhibitions—including the core exhibition, Behind the Screen—are noted for their integration of material objects, computer-based interactive experiences, and audiovisual presentations. A major expansion and renovation of the Museum’s facility is currently underway. Designed by architect Thomas Leeser, the project will double the size of the Museum and includes a new 264-seat theater, a 68-seat screening room, new galleries for the exhibition of digital art, and a multi-classroom education center. The expanded Museum will open to the public on January 15, 2011. For more information, visit movingimage.us

Up & coming- Mari Lowery
I would like to introduce Mari Lowery to my readers. Mari was recently featured in Time Out magazine. She has an upcoming exhibit next week and I asked her to tell me something about herself. You're in for a real treat. —Lisa
Mari Lowery: About Me
My work spans many different subjects, but this exhibit focuses on my work with dolls and masks. With this collection, I'm debuting several images from an ongoing series of photographs of small figures and dolls, taken with a plastic camera called a Holga, expired polaroid film, and a macro lens. I'm excited about this collection, as it's the first time that I have shown many of these pieces in public.
I also have an online shop where prints of some the images can be purchased.

The conversation, moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz, will be followed by a preview screening of Beresford's acclaimed new film Mao's Last Dancer (opening August 20).
Beresford, one of Australia’s most celebrated filmmakers, was a key member of the Australian film renaissance in the 1970s and 1980s. He was first nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for the script of Breaker Morant, then again in 1984 for directing Tender Mercies (which won Robert Duvall the Oscar for Best Actor); Driving Miss Daisy, which he directed, won the Best Picture Oscar in 1989. His new film, Mao’s Last Dancer, is based on the remarkable true story of Chinese-born ballet dancer Li Cunxin, a poverty-stricken boy who rises to international stardom as a world-class dancer. The film stars Chi Cao, a gifted dancer and principal at the Birmingham Royal Ballet making his impressive screen debut as Li. The cast also includes Bruce Greenwood, Kyle MacLachlan, Joan Chen and Amanda Schull.
Mao’s Last Dancer (2009, 117 mins.) is being released theatrically by Samuel Goldwyn Films and ATO Pictures on August 20. To view a trailer, visit http://www.maoslastdancer-movie.com.
“A Conversation with Academy Award Nominee Bruce Beresford and Preview Screening of Mao’s Last Dancer” will take place at Scandinavia House, located at 58 Park Avenue (between 38 and 29 Streets), Manhattan. Tickets are $18 public / $12 Museum members / Free for sponsor-level members and above. Call 718.777.6800 or order online at http://movingimage.us.

The Silas Marder Gallery presents its Fifth Annual “Big Show”: 54 Artists, 162 Canvases
Bridgehampton, NY—THE FIFTH ANNUAL BIG SHOW EXHIBITION opens at The Silas Marder Gallery on Saturday, August 7, 2010. A reception will be held at the gallery on the same day from 5-9 PM.The Big Show has become a favorite event for the local community,
generally attracting between 300-500 people. Each year, gallery owner Silas Marder invites over fifty national and international artists to participate, aiming for an eclectic mix of emerging and established talent. Participating artists are given three 8'' x 10” blank canvases, and are offered little direction other than being asked to “reflect on where they are in their careers.”
According to Marder, the event was fashioned after years of attending group openings at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, and coming to understand the importance of a gathering place to the local community. “I wanted to take that energy, raise the bar of the artwork, and exhibit it all in a visually organized way. The biggest challenge to a large-scale group show is in making it cohesive.”
The energetic charge to the show can be attributed to the fact that the work is new work produced virtually simultaneously by artists from different backgrounds, each effected by world events, career demands, and the particular guidelines for this exhibition. Because of all that these canvases share, their differences are more subtle than obvious. Despite sometimes extremely varied content, the works relate. “From painting to painting there’s a dialogue of texture and form,” Marder states. “Even the ones that don’t relate to each other play a part in the overall presentation. Once the installation is completed, the pieces seem to talk to each other. It’s like a lively dinner party where the guests might have conflicting opinions, but they are all expressing themselves very politely at exactly the same volume.”
Another intention of the show is to make connections, not only between artists, but also between communities. “One artist in the show might be from Bridgehampton, but the next artist might be from Italy or Portugal. The visiting artist might not ever have been on Long Island before, so their canvas becomes a sort of ambassador. And even though some artists are not “local,” the local artists—and the local community—are positively affected by their participation and presence.”“I’ve lived here my whole life, and I grapple with this constantly—the concept of local,” Marder says. “Local is important, but locals need exposure. No one should remain sheltered or underexposed. Exposure comes in different forms: sometimes you go elsewhere; sometimes you invite others to you. The Big Show helps me think about here—what it means to live here, be here, choose to remain here. My job is to connect that “here” with a larger arts community. It’s like drawing concentric circles.”
Because of its diversity, the Big Show attracts collectors and dealers from the East End, Manhattan, and regions beyond. Established collectors are encouraged to try new artists and new collectors are offered an array of original works at accessible prices. “Some people buy all three pieces from a single artist, some buy single pieces on impulse to give different rooms of their house a different character. I have one couple that comes in every year just for portraits to add to their portrait collection. My friends in Sag Harbor have Big Show pieces hanging in quirky little niches in their house. This canvas size is actually a very cool scale for Sag Harbor houses.”
This year’s exhibition will feature works by Mary Heilmann, Robert Olsen, Judith Linhares, Elisa Rossi, as well as William King, Connie Fox, Pamela Collin Focarnio, Erica-Lynn Huberty, Mica I. Marder, Terry Elkins, Jennifer Cross, Cory Barber, Susan Zises and Oliver Peterson. The show will run through September 6, 2010. For more information, contact the gallery at 631/702-2306 or info@silasmarder.com.“It’s exactly the kind of show I’d want to go to,” Marder says. “These are original pieces, they are contemporary pieces, they are diverse in terms of style, and I could actually afford something. The Big Show is in no way a survey of the art world, but it’s definitely a mark.”
