You are cordially invited to meet the artist and view her new works.   The latest collection focuses on paintings that celebrate the spiritual relationship between the Body and non-objective painting.   The works feature a cosmic approach to gesture and chance.   Phoebe Legere (Abenaki/Cajun) is a multidisciplinary artist whose paintings will be on view at the Bundy Museum of Art, 129 Main Street, Binghamton, NY, through August 7.    Legere uses old master techniques like dissection, perspective, glazes, lavender oil and egg as well acrylic, ink, collage, digital performance and embedded sound files.   Born to artist parents and trained to paint in oil and egg tempera from age 5, Legere had formative friendships with some of the greatest artists of modern times. Her parents met Larry Rivers in Provincetown when they were studying modern abstraction with Hans Hoffman. Many years later, Larry became Phoebe’s teacher, mentor, collaborator and friend. Rivers had this to say about Legere: “She is an intellectual with the heart of child. Legere is what art is all about.”     Legere’s paintings are deeply contemporary; each painting is a comment on the high value of the coordinated action of hand,  body, and  eye; as well as the aleatory gesture as a gateway to the Unknown.   “Computers have colonized and occupied our minds. The only cure, the only way to restore the health of the Human Soul, is to return to the well spring of all human endeavor: Art and Music,” according to Legere.     Phoebe Legere is also the founder and executive director of the Foundation for New American Art, an arts education nonprofit dedicated to nurturing the visionary artists of tomorrow. She teaches the children traditional Old Master techniques she learned at age 5. Legere is also an Apple Certified Art teacher, bringing digital art skills, video, animation and image manipulation to underserved children who get no art training in their schools.   The Foundation is hosting a two-day cultural diversity “Festival de la Posibilidad” July 16 & 17th at the Clemente Center, 107 Suffolk St., New York, NY 10002. The festival is sponsored in part by a grant from the National Endowment from The Arts.   According to Founder and Executive Director of FNAA, Phoebe Legere, “We have no words to express our gratitude to the people who helped us and fortified our resolve on our beautiful journey: fourteen years of service as a grassroots nonprofit charity organization! Now, the National Endowment for the Arts joins us as partner. Gracias a todos nuestros amigos y vecinos.”   FNAA grew from a curating and presenting arts organization called the New York Underground Museum to an arts education and cultural resource for children and families.    “The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support arts projects like this one from Foundation for New American Art that help support the community’s creative economy,” said NEA Acting Chair Ann Eilers.   “Foundation for New American Art in NYC is among the organizations nationwide that are using the arts as a source of strength, a path to well-being, and providing access and opportunity for people to connect and find joy through the arts.”   I would be happy to arrange a visit to Phoebe’s ArtLab to meet Phoebe and see her new collection.    Visit phoebelegereart.com and phoebelegere.com to learn more about the multidisciplinary visual art and performance art of Phoebe Legere.     Thank you for your time and consideration.   At your service,   Xander…for Phoebe Legere Art

Mission Statement of the Festival of Possibilities/ Festival de la Posibilidad

By Phoebe Legere

 

“Let’s DANCE together to integrate the amazing energies of diverse cultural traditions from all over the globe!

Let’s SING together to celebrate a culture of belonging, tolerance and inclusion in New York!

Let’s CELEBRATE and GIVE THANKS for the distinguished immigrant traditions so integral to the powerful and world-changing culture of our great city!

Communal art practices are the very best way to eradicate the systemic racism, sexism, ageism, and intolerance that plague us. Dance, song and art have harmonized and brought mental stability to communities for 100,000 years. It is time to return to organic solutions to modern problems. The names of our programs tell the story of our mission:

‘Paintbrushes not Guns!’
‘Let Every Child Sing!’
‘Music Teachers Without Borders!’”

 

Sandra Pabon - A Non Endorsement

 

If you don’t want me to stand up for myself, then don’t bully me or support bullies.

Be a human being.  It’s your job.

If you keep quiet, other people will do the talking for you

I'm outing Sandra Pabon for doing the wrong thing by me. I’m outing her for her apathy and supporting bullying. She's not a public servant; she's an enabler and all-around coward.

I'm writing to everyone in my district, including elected officials to NOT support Sandra Pabon for District 80 Female Leader or any position. Last year when I was assaulted, I asked her for help in filing a police report against the people that attacked me.

Instead of helping, she decided to shut me down, and block me on Facebook. I know I was not rude to her. I asked a lot of people for help. Two leaders in my community did reach out to the 52nd Precinct, and one was able to identify the assault as violent.

After the assault and the cops’ refusal to take my report, the people that assaulted me ambushed me at my apartment by having someone from my building knock on my door to talk with me. Then the assailants came from behind a wall, and tried to attack me but I was able to escape to my apartment. Although the police viewed the video of the ambush, they still refused to take a report.

Had Ms. Pabon helped me, it would've made a difference and prevented people from attacking me. She says she was a Chaplain and Community person in the 52 Precinct. Years ago, when an unidentified neighbor poured bacon grease on my doormat and broke into my mailbox, she told one of my neighborhood mischief makers to leave me alone. She also told me that she was aware of the neighbors that had bullied me when I stood up against their abuse to me and to a homeless black man.

I would've kept quiet about Sandra’s apathy, except for two reasons. One--she works for our State Assemblywoman and is running for office. and Two--I tried to reach out to her for the past three months via her Instagram and Nathalia's office.

That she's running for office and refused to help shows she's more about politics and power than public service.

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Jesus Christ instructs us to give mini trumps (bullies and enablers) the opportunities to talk things out and recognize the harm their behavior is causing people. If they don't, I reach out to people that can reason with them. If they still don't respond, I out them for what they did to me or to other people that are struggling.

So, Sandra, when you read this. I’m available to talk. You know how to reach me.

Thank you,

Anne Leighton

The Slambovians - New Music and On The Road

Rootsy psychedelica “from the cool end of Americana”
.................................

The Slambovian Circus of Dreams are on tour, bringing their rootsy, rockin' psychedelica to the UK and USA this Summer. Shows feature a mix of Slambovian classics and tunes from their newly released album, 'A Very Unusual Head." 

A rootsy rockin' psychedelica, their connection with audiences taps into a greater human-ness with charismatic band leader Joziah Longo center ring presiding... Joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen, the Slambovians create a show that is constantly evolving "with a little help from their friends.” 2022’s line-up includes RJ McCarty (bass, keys, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums). Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anthony Thistlethwaite is on the band’s new album). Dar Williams sings backup on the album. (She covered the Slambovians’ song "Sullivan Lane: on her new album. I’ll Meet You Here. It was originally on the Slambovians' Flapjacks From The Sky.

Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it. Touring in support of their new release, A Very Unusual Head, the band has a full schedule in 2022 touring the US and the UK headlining the Wickham Festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and more.

 "The cool end of Americana" – Maverick Magazine, UK

“They take the stage by storm!” – NY Times
"9 out of 10 - Love at first spin!" – Americana UK
"They're not just a band. That's like saying the Bible is just a book..." – Fairfield
County Weekly “Longo is an awesome songwriter” – Garth Hudson, The Band
"Great songs and a whole lotta heart" – Meg Griffin, SiriusXM
“Simply one of the finest American bands” – All Music

 

About "A Very Unusual Head":
Recorded over the last four years in five studios and two countries, A Very Unusual Head is a kaleidoscope of songs by New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Opening their creative tent to notable performer friends: fellow New Yorker Dar Williams, Anthony Thistlethwaite (The Waterboys), Kolson Pickard (producer Tall Heights, Pico Romanesque) the songs and musical escapades of the band make for a sonically beautiful, creative and adventurous album. Inspired by the surrealist painters and Dylan as a 12-year-old growing up in Philadelphia, Longo chronicles a bit of his journey honoring the influences who offered an intellectual/creative escape hatch searching for answers to life’s big questions. A Very Unusual Head pays tribute to the great 'outside the box' minds of science - "Force of Nature (Stephen Hawking's Lament)" and the arts - "Solve It All Dāli."

Lead singer/songwriter Longo also challenges accepted philosophy/theologies that have led humanity to its current state with the Python-esque song "Brilliantly Dumb", featuring an ethereal vocal performance by New York singer/songwriter Dar Williams and contributions of mandolin and sax by Anthony Thistlethwaite (founding member of The Waterboys).

The album's humour waylays any 'doom and gloom' with a confidence that though humanity seems to have strayed a bit from the path, we can find it again if we only "Step Outta Time" and "Look Around"!

A Very Unusual Head was released January of 2022 on the band’s new label, Storm King Records. In advance of the band’s upcoming UK tour in August, an
additional UK/EU release is scheduled for physical distribution on UK label, Talking Elephant Records.

Joziah Longo: lead vocals, guitar

Troubleshooting Pandora’s Box Releases New Single “Soldier's Song” to Benefit the People of Ukraine

 

­ Dark Horse Flyer is the band that wrote and performed “Soldier’s Song,” the third track on a project called Troubleshooting Pandora’s Box; the song is its first charity track. “Soldier’s Song” is being released to raise money for World Central Kitchen, who are getting food to the people of Ukraine.    The single can only be heard and or purchased on bandcamp at troubleshootingpandorasbox.bandcamp.com/track/soldiers-song-featuring-dark-horse-flyer   The song and was written © 2022 Don Mularz and Richard Taylor (BMI). Dark Horse Flyer is Don Mularz (guitar and vocals), Richard Taylor (fretless bass), Raul Hernandez (Cajon), Bob Taylor (organ), John Tillman (guitar solo(, and Scott Lane (guitar). Troubleshooting Pandora’s Box is a musical project masterminded by Nick Katona, who also runs Melodic Revolution Records, the label releasing the song.   Nick Katona says, “The idea for this project came about 20 + years ago, not long after the dawn of the internet age. I wanted to use this project to address the many issues that have come to light.”   “Soldier’s Song” is an exploration into what lies behind beauty, sometimes it is evil and corrupt. These concepts will provide a lush platform for rich storytelling lending insight to our modern age with a focus on how to make our lives and world better. This is not a project by a regular assembled band, but from a collaboration of artists, whose styles, backgrounds, and interpretation through their cultural lens provide a beautiful tapestry of melodies and hooks with lyrics that—Nick believes--resonates with everyone.    All profits raised by the sales are to be donated to World Central Kitchen. “Soldier’s Song” was written by Don Mularz and Richard Taylor and performed by Dark Horse Flyer.    Don Mularz says the song is “inspired by the bravery of our fathers and uncles who went in harm’s way for the love of family and country, much like every man or woman that leaves a loved one behind to fight for their country. They hope they will come home and that special someone will still be waiting for them.” Adds Nick, “Just like the brave men and women in Ukraine are doing.”   “Soldier's Song” was recorded live at the band’s Florida rehearsal studio, the Hanger, with one mic and one take. The song was originally released as a music video and posted on social media ever.   About World Central Kitchen   World Central Kitchen is a not-for-profit non-governmental organization devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters. Founded in 2010 by celebrity chef José Andrés, the organization prepared food in Haiti following its devastating earthquake. wck.org     SOLDIER'S SONG   Do you still see me I'm right here beside you, as I have been since the day we first met   Do you still feel me I'm right here inside you, you inside me since the day we first met   The way that I still think of you is how I hope you see me too you're everything I wanted you to be and even if I'm far away you know you're in my heart to stay but are you waiting there for me?   Solo   The way that I still think of you is how I hope you see me too you're everything I wanted you to be and even if I'm far away you know you're in my heart to stay but are you waiting there for me?   Do you still love me my heart beats with your heart, love forever since the day that I first met you since the day we first met   © 2022 Don Mularz and Richard Taylor (BMI), All Rights Reserved

Phoebe Legere's Masterful Art Work on Display at the Bundy Museum, Binghamton, Through August 7

Evanescent Landscapes/Vanishing Women is the name of a beautiful and thoughtful Art Exhibition by The Legendary Phoebe Legere in Binghamton, NY.

­ ­ ­

Phoebe Legere (Abenaki/Cajun) is a multidisciplinary artist whose paintings of Binghamton area landscapes and Native American subjects will be on view at the Bundy Museum of Art through August 7.    The Bundy Museum of Art is located at 127-129 Main Street, in Binghamton. Phone: 607- 772-9179. Website: bundymuseum.org   Legere is a versatile painter who works in oils, acrylic, mixed media, resin and egg tempera, creating semi-abstract works inspired by her passion for anatomy and landscape.    “Phoebe Legere is a virtuoso. Legere’s line is meticulous, incisive, sensuous, and vibrant. Her works are politically engaged and inspire conversations about women’s issues, diversity, inclusiveness, cultural equity, Native American issues, respect for the environment, and the volatility of consciousness.” – Linda Nochlin    Legere’s paintings are deeply contemporary; each painting is a comment on the validity of handmade painting in a world where we are increasingly dominated by machines.    “Machine-made, mechanistic art and music have colonized and occupied our minds. The only cure, the only way to restore the health of the Human Soul, is to return to the well spring of all human endeavor: Art and Music,” according to Legere.  Visit phoebelegereart.com to learn more.   Legere’s music has been compared to “Edith Piaf, Jerry Lee Lewis and Maria Callas” (NY Times) and Frank Zappa (Billboard). Studs Terkel, during a radio broadcast profile of Phoebe on National Public Radio said it best: “She is an American Original.” Legere studied music at Juilliard and painting at Vassar College.   Some of Phoebe Legere’s noteworthy milestones include the following:   -Legere is a grant recipient of a New York State Council of the Arts award for her musical about the Native American Holocaust of New England, “Queen of New England”   -Legere received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for her musical epic poem about Water issues,  “The Waterclown”   - She is an Acker Award recipient for her musical “Hello, Madame President” about the first African American female president of the U.S.   -David Bowie chose Phoebe Legere for the support act spot on his National Tour    -Legere has appeared on NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, NPR, PBS    -The 2022 “Best of Manhattan” Entertainment Award was presented to Legere   -Legere co-starred on Nickelodeon’s “Naked Brothers Band”   -Legere scored and starred in the most popular cult movie of all time- “Toxic Avenger’   -As the Creator, Executive Producer, Featured Performer, Host, Writer, and Set Designer, Legere’s educational children’s TV show, “The Color Wheel” has been viewed by tens of thousands   -Legere can be seen playing & singing in “Ghostbusters 2” and can be seen on the “Golden Anniversary Ghostbusters Collectors” DVD   -Legere has collaborated with friends and colleagues considered to be the most creative people of our time: Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Johnny Depp, Hunter Thompson, Allen Ginsberg and Billy Joel to name a few…   -Legere has written, produced and performed on 17 albums of original songs.  Proceeds from sales of her paintings & music go to fund the Foundation for the New American Art, a nonprofit that brings free art and music to at-risk children of low-income communities. “After the financial crisis of 2008 they eliminated art & music to children in most NYC public schools. I believe free access to art & music is every child’s birthright. That’s why I founded the Let Every Child Sing Chorus, Paintbrushes Not Guns and Music Teachers Without Borders which offers free art & music lessons to underserved children,” says executive director Legere.   Legere’s charity was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for their important work bringing cultural equity to communities and recently received a New York Community Trust grant to carry on the Foundation’s work in arts education.  ­ ­
