publisher's note
dont know about you, but I for one was sad to see those
art deco cars leave the Frist. I went back several times to
experience the show again and the sense of fantasy and wonder
that only perfectly formed sheet metal can evoke. And while I had a
favorite, the Bugatti belonging to the Shah of Iran, I could in a pinch
see myself driving off in any one of them. Oh well.

hen Jason Brown, new resident to Nashville from London, England, looked for an idea
for his first transatlantic, curated show it was obvious. Hatch Show Print had yet to
have a UK exhibition. For the iconic Nashville letterpress shop this was way overdue.
As co-curator of Hatch Show Print: Nashville Calling at Londons Chelsea Space, Brown takes
120 posters, Jim Sherraden monoprints, and historic ephemera to a new audience. Donald
Smith, Chelsea Space director of exhibitions, and Jim Sherraden have been tremendous
partners in this endeavor, says Brown.
The opening will be a Nashville event in London, serving Tennessee food, Jack Daniels
cocktails, and entertainment with a special performance by Nedski & MojoNed Luberecki
and Stephen Mougin, two of Nashvilles finest. A Hatch poster has been designed for the
show, and a book with an essay by Sherraden will be given to exhibition attendees.
Hatch Show Print: Nashville Calling opens in London November 12 and runs
through December 14. For more information, visit www.chelseaspace.org.

gutsand then they call you at the end of the dayand say that was
the best shoot ever.
Well, thats the goal, he chuckles. The ideal thing is to see the
wardrobe before the shoot and to plan backdrops and sets, but
most of the time that doesnt happen exactly as you hope. Theres a
lot of improvisation, depending on the job.
Harrington is just old enough to remember the pre-digital days of
his art. He even used to develop his own photos and send around
expensive portfolios by courier to promote his work. The computer
has changed all that.

face, hands, and feet. While she spent her childhood viewing opera
and ballet with her mother, an experience she credits as formative,
it was her degree in theatre that emphasized the importance of
gesture.
To that end, Stingle spends a lot of time working on every figures
face, hands, and feet. So much of the emotional powerhouse that
tells the story is in those three areas, she says.
When she builds each figure, by hand and without the use of molds,
Stingle creates details in the face, hands, and feet with a straight
pin. To deepen the color, she uses many layers of underglazes and
slips. It is only after firing the figure that she finishes it through a
variety of methods, including carpentry, sewing, fabric staining,
and welding.
Through each piece Stingle tells a story, which is a skill she gleaned
from her past career in public policy. Before abandoning that
career to sculpt full time, she held a position in which she gathered
the stories of families trying to make the transition from welfare
to work. In doing so, she uncovered the roadblocks such people
came up against.
It just sort of showed me how its the same thing were all dealing
with, she says. How do we provide a better life for our family? The
power of the story moved me.
Stingle also tosses in heaping tablespoons of sly humor to lighten
the tone of her tales. In the figure Escape there are objects,

Jubilee!
This is a great opportunity for Fisk and a new beginning for the
gallery. Its a real turnaround for us, says Simmons. The Stieglitz
Collection for decades has occupied the greatest part of the space
in the universitys Van Vechten Gallery, a free-standing, twolevel building, and with its departure this summer, Simmons and
his colleagues have put in motion a plan to display some of the
incredible pieces from the institutions vast repository of over
4,000 works of American, African American, and worldwide art,
including paintings, photographs, and sculptures, some of which
have been recently acquired, and many which have not been on
exhibition for decades and, in some instances, have never been
publicly displayed.
In contemplating this inaugural exhibition at the repurposed
Van Vechten Gallery, which chronicles the progression of African
American Art from the founding of the University in 1866
through the present, Simmons chose a big tent approach. A
recurring theme presented itself: that of Jubilee as a celebration
of beginnings, freedom, and creativity. I started out looking at
about 800 works, says Simmons. There are some that are absolute
classicsthe Aaron Douglas works, the Henry Ossawa Tanner
masterpiece The Three Marys. You cannot do an exhibition like this
and not include these works. I began to divide the piles into the
must-haves, the ought-to-haves, the hope-to-haves, and the willget-to-haves. And then I started to think about what themes I
wanted to address. Three years gave me a lot of time to do research
with the help of students and others . . . to create a concept . . .
themes and sub-themes. We homed in on Heroes, City and Country,
Acknowledging Africa, and Religion and Spirituality.
Jubilee! occupies both levels of the Van Vechten Gallery. On the
Arthur Leroy Bairnsfather, George Washington Carver, Oil on canvas
first level, Albert Alexander Smiths Raising of the Bell and William
Edward Scotts Haitian Market, a coming together of the sacred and
the profane, set the tone for the caliber of the exhibit. William
Dorings portrait of Maggie Porter, who was born into slavery,
attended Fisk, and traveled the world singing with the original
Jubilee Singers, is a poignant reminder of the historical legacy the
university holds in African American culture.

Jim Sherraden
Making Impressions
by Jason Brown
His time spent working with Fjeld in Norway gained awards and
an opportunity to discover the woodcuts of Munch, Kirchner, and
other European Expressionists. This experience inspired the series
of intricate, black-and-white Scandinavian woodcuts that are still in
production today and are available at LeQuire Gallery on Charlotte
Avenue.
In 1992, test prints through the presses led to the discovery of an
overlaying of images, text, and color. Influenced by Dutch artist
Hendrik Werkman, a contemporary of Mondrian and Escher, and
urged on by old friend and sculptor Alan LeQuire, he explored the
I print in the warm months and cut blocks in the cold months.
Having acquired some antique Cuban, pre-Castro wood blocks,
Sherraden took the small designs and incorporated them into his
own art.
Hatch drives you to have a central theme.
The successful Cuban series with images of houses and hills, flora
and fauna was inspired by the balance found in quilts, Native
American art, Moroccan pottery, and Dutch tiles. He unveils
to me his latest piece from this series. Its a patchwork design
with woodblock prints cut, arranged, and mounted on a multidimensional wood base, then hand finished with a brayer. Over
thirty-three years of printmaking have given him the confidence
and lack of fear to add these finishing touches and use his own
work this way.
woodcuts, gathers fresh blocks to cut, and sees larger pieces ahead.
As he walks me to my car and thanks me for my time, Im
thinking about his songwriting awards, Silver Medal from the
Nashville Chapter of the American Advertising Federation and the
Distinguished Artist Award from the State of Tennessee.
The new Haley Gallery within the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum will feature his monoprints.
New woodcuts by Jim Sherraden can be seen at LeQuire
Gallery in the group show The Nature of Wood: Sculpture and
Turnings by Olen Bryant, William Kooienga, and Brenda Stein
with woodcuts by Alan LeQuire and Jim Sherraden. Opening

Graham Gerdeman, Nashville, TN, A terraced vineyard in Switzerland. Hundreds of intersecting lines
and angles and almost shocking, yet soothing, primary colors. The ivy below seems to be clawing its
way up to the grapevines above (who wouldnt?), separated by stone and a road that looks like it was
slashed there by a sword. And a bright-red sentry.

Ribbons of Clay
by Wendy Wilson | Photography by Rob Lindsay
His coffee mugs will be in the Belle Meade exhibit, as well as honey
jars, platters, pots, and jugs and winged vases inspired by the
sculpture Winged Victory at the Louvre.
Besides working in his home studio, Overcast gives demonstrations
for children at historic sites and parks and teaches a class at The
Clay Lady's Studio. The students are adults with varying skill
levels looking to unwind from stressful jobs. Like he once did,
they wrestle with throwing on the wheel, centering and pulling up
the clay. But once thats accomplished, Overcast says, they can be
flexible, have fun, and even turn mistakes into design elements.
You can create and do anything with it, he says.
An opening reception for Roy Overcast will be held Thursday,
October 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Art Gallery at Belle
Meade Plantation in the visitor center gift shop. The exhibit
runs October 3 through October 31. The gift shop is open
Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday
11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no fee to visit the gift shop. Belle
Meade Plantation is located at 5025 Harding Pike, Nashville

The Interview
Mayor Karl Dean Sits Down
with Bill Ivey to Talk About
Art, Growth, and Gridlock
Ivey: Lets start with your school years. Was there any kind
of arts scene?
Dean: When I was in high school, they offered art history. But
NashvilleArts.com

for mayor was that the music industry is so important to our city;
it means so much to us in so many different ways. Obviously, its
huge in creating jobs and creating wealth and expanding our tax
base. But it really makes our city unique. Richard Florida has
written about the creative class, and
The other thing I think has been a big success is our initiative for
affordable housing for artists. The Ryman Lofts, which is sixty
units, is for all types of artists. There are visual artists there;
there are quilt-makers; there are obviously lots of musicians and
songwriters. Id like to live there.
Ivey: Just to follow up, where do you think we are in terms
of the standing of arts in elementary and secondary
education? Do you think its a question of playing
defense against the push toward sort of core disciplines
and standardized testing? I mean, or is it advancing?
Dean: I think its defense. There are two dangerous convergences
going on right now. Weve gone through this recession, and local
government is obviously still feeling it. Local governments, when
they make decisions about what they cut in school, tend to look at
arts as one of the first things to go. Then you have this increased
interest in core education, STEM, the importance of testing, and
it could be seen by advocates of testing that arts only take time
away from teaching core subjects.
One of the things that the music industry wanted to do was to
give back to the city, and their focus was education, so we created
this program Music Makes Us. I think because of Music Makes
Us, Nashville stands out. Were being recognized as a city that is
actually investing more in music education; were not pulling back.
Over a period of time, we will have innovative music education
programs at all levels of public education and an opportunity
for any student who wants to play an instrument, and to pursue
music, and also to have that appreciation factor, where you get
that well-rounded student. And I think thats really one of the
most important things that weve done.
Ivey: What do you think about using your influence, or even
public policy, to get arts more engaged in completely
different sectors of the economy or of the community?
art. Just as weve done with our bike racks, we have put a lot into
having artistic bus stops. I try to ride the bus a few times a week
every week, and its a good time to appreciate art or to appreciate
things around you or to look at things in a different way.
Ivey: How do you feel about urban architecture? You have
the new convention center that turned out (something
of a surprise to me) as a pretty aggressive piece of
architecture.
Dean: I was obviously involved in the very beginning. One of
the fears everyone has about a building that big in a city is that
it becomes a box, or that it kills pedestrian interest in walking
around it, or its just not friendly. And that was on our minds at
the very beginning. My goal was to have something that did not
appear to be a box, or what you see a lota nice front to it and
then three sides are just walls. We spent a lot of money on art for
that building; it certainly would not be nearly as attractive inside
if you had all those barren walls and you didnt have the variety
of thought-provoking art pieces. People who see it see a unique
building and a special building, and I think that helps sell the
building to conventions.
For the visual arts in particular, anybody starting off (there may
be some rare exceptions) is not going to be coming in with a lot of
money. I mean, theres not going to be a huge capital investment,
and I would hope that the city would do what we can to make
it work. And then, if it does work, you get this energy, and
somebody else comes in and youre saving neighborhoods; youre
saving buildings; youre making the city more appealing.
NashvilleArts.com
October 2O13 | 77
Dean: Right. At various times the city has been involved with
Ivey: Lets talk a little bit about the TV show Nashville. You
have to be one of the people on the very front lines of how
the world perceives Nashville through that TV lens.
Dean: I always tell them that my life is nowhere near as
interesting as the mayors life on that show . . . But from my
perspective, number one, its an important thing for Nashville
in terms of the music industry because of the attention it brings,
but also to Nashvilles role, which I think will increase in time,
as a center for film and for production, which I think also has a
positive effect on the arts community. Nashville is seen each week
by some 7 or 8 million people, in the United States, and then its
seen in 15 countries. In terms of putting our city out there as a
place to visit, I could never even dream of doing a budget where
you could pay for that. And the city looks great on the show.
Nashvilles a great city to begin with, but its especially attractive
in the helicopter shots at the beginning and the various places
around town. It also reflects a bit of the diversity of the music
scene here now. The Avery character is a rocker, and Nashville has
in reality become a very strong rock community with the Kings of
Leon and Jack White and the Black Keys, and then you have the
Symphony, and you have the country music and everything else.
Its a good thing for the city; I mean, its a good thing for the city.
Ivey: Youll be known probably as a transportation and
education mayor. What are some of the other things that
you want as part of your legacy?
Dean: The thing I care about the most is education. Its the
hardest issue, and its the hardest one to have an impact on, so
thats whats most important to me.
If I had to pick a favorite thing (whatever Im working on generally
is what I get obsessed with), I really love the program weve done
with the libraries and the schools, called Limitless Libraries, where
weve opened up all the public library resources to our schools.
We recently opened a new, transformed school library at Wright
Middle School, which is just a beautiful thing. I think the library
should be the coolest building in the school. To me, its everything,
because no matter whether youre doing arts or whether you want

the monumental 25th anniversary year of the festival on October

in Green Hills, featuring twenty-two artists from across the country. The society
members will also have their own work on display. The nationally known, Californiabased artist Peggi Kroll-Roberts is the exhibit judge. Her work will also be shown.
It will be a feast of talented, highly skilled painters who represent the breadth of
traditional art excellence in one major exhibit.
We talked about wanting to showcase traditional artists for a long time, said Dawn
Whitelaw. We want to shift the perception about the Southeast, and Nashville in
particular, to our being a serious, major contributor to the national art scene. It is
our hope that we can make this an annual tradition.
Coming full circle, Pam Padgett speaks to what she sees as a growing desire in people
to learn to paint. The academy is still neglecting to teach people the disciplines of
drawing, creating perspective, and atmospherethe fundamental rules of line and
composition. If you want to break the rules later on, then at least know the rules. The
best thing we can do to advance traditional art is to teach it. Exhibits like the one
we are mounting in October help educate people. When they see the range of what is
being done, what can be done, and when they emotionally connect, they get it. And
its fun. Painting is hard fun. If all the electricity were to go out tomorrow, the artists
wouldnt complain. It would just give us an excuse to get out in the world and paint.

to November 1 at Richland Fine Art. For more information visit www.

Field Notes
Jeff Hein
Classical to Contemporary
by Betsy Wills
spend an awful lot of time trolling the Internet searching for artists
to feature on my blog, Artstormer. The parade of still lifes, wacky recycled
sculptures, photographs, and abstract acrylics would make your head spin. I say
this to underline the jaw-dropping, heart-stopping reaction I had when I first
encountered the work of Jeffrey Hein.
There is no mistaking the fact that he is a modern-day master. His works are
anything but derivative, although he employs the most classical techniques.
His subjects are painted from life, meaning no photographs or modern-day
camera obscura devices are employed. Moreover, he has spent years studying
the skeletons and muscle tissues of the human body (think Leonardo here!).
Aside from his obvious skill, he injects each work with brilliant composition,
color, and nostalgia. Some of his work is religious in nature, while other pieces
are brightly adorned subjects that seem to harken back to the 70s. Many of his
subjects are dressed in outfits that appear to be both flammable and fashion
backward. Just thinking about them makes me want to do the Hustle.
After stalking him on the Internet, I finally tracked down his phone number in
Salt Lake City, Utah, where he runs a highly respected atelier. Jeffs commitment
to painting from life rather than photographs differentiates him from most other
artists but also limits the number of pieces he can produce each year, putting
him in the slow food category of visual arts. Fortunately I was able to get on his
waiting list and now, four years later, have a wonderful portrait of my daughter.
artist bio
Jeffery Hein is primarily known for his photorealistic paintings, but he also draws,
sculpts, and makes films. He received his degree from the University of Utah and
continues to work in Salt Lake City. In 2007, he opened the Hein Academy of Art, a
small school modeled after the masters workshops of the Italian Renaissance. The
curriculum focuses on academic art training and building skills that enable young
artists to bring together creative ideas, good design, and solid craftsmanship.
Heins early work consisted mostly of portraits, but his latest series reveals his
interest in narrative painting and traditional themes from the history of art. He is
represented by Wendt Gallery and has exhibited across the globe: USArtists Show
in Philadelphia, Bridge Art Fair London, and the New York Armory Show. For more
information about Hein and his work visit www.jeffhein.com.

An Animated Life
by Joe Pagetta
ts what you find, and what you do with what you find, that
is the art form, says Galen Fott, animator, puppeteer, actor
Fott is discussing his latest project, Cosmo Swazzle and the Perfect Hat,
an interactive animated film he is developing with illustrator David
Vordtriede for tablet and touchscreen devices. In the film, Cosmo, a
young puppeteer, is preparing for the Ted Todman Talent Time show,
to be broadcast live on TV that night. Cosmo plans to debut his new
puppet, Gus. The puppet is perfect, says the
voiceover narration. He can dance! He can sing!
But Cosmo is certain it needs one more thing.
That one more thing is the perfect hat, and thats
where you, the interactive viewer, come in.
You have to make a choice for him, and depending
on which way you go, thats the way the story
goes, says Fott, describing the films multiple
possible endings. So perfect is what you make it.

Some will say you need a great script delivered by wonderful actors
with an amazing set. Others will speak about strong direction
and a comprehensive marketing plan. The truth is that you need
all these things, but none of them are necessary if you dont have
a place to play. You need a theatre space. You need a place to go
and set up lights. Fortunately, Music Citys long-suffered lack
of ready theatre spaces has just gotten a little better. Two arts
organizations, Actors Bridge Ensemble, and Metro Parks, have
recently acquired new spaces to further support our ever-growing
theatre arts community.
Actors Bridge Ensemble, a long-standing part of Nashvilles theatre arts
scene, has set up their new studio at LeQuire Gallery at 4304 Charlotte
Avenue.LeQuire Gallery is owned by Alan and Andre LeQuire.Alan is
best known for his colossal sculptures Athena Parthenos, the largest
indoor sculpture in the Western hemisphere, and Musica, one of the
largest bronze figure groups in the world. Actors Bridge Studio at
LeQuire Gallery will house acting classes, rehearsals, First Time
Story Nights, and Act Like a GRRRL workshops.Their professional
theatre season will continue to take place at the Belmont University
Troutt Theater complex and at the Darkhorse Theater.
We have spent more than a decade at Neuhoff in Germantown.
We loved being pioneers in the neighborhood along
with Lori and Roger from the Nashville Jazz Workshop.
While we will miss our Neuhoff family, we are so excited
to be joining the amazing creative vibe happening on
Charlotte, said producing artistic director Vali Forrister.

At one point, the man and his dogs were directly in front of me, so I snapped
a photo of them using my iPhone. The photo came out okay, but it didnt
show the goggles. So I tried maneuvering my car, accelerating to get in front
for a better angle. But then another car slipped in between me and the man
with the dogs, which had me thinking I might lose them altogether. Then
I saw the man make a right turn onto a side street. Imagine my surprise
when I, too, took a right turn down that very same street.
At this point, I began to wonder if I was stalking this man and his dogs.
When the man took another turn down another street, and I, in turn,
followed, I knew the answerYes!
The man then turned into a driveway which curved around to the back of
a house. I too turned into the driveway, but then I stopped and got out of
my car and trotted around to the back of the house.
