Screen Time: Two Solo Art Shows Consider a New Era of Tech
The word “screen” is one of those with deliciously juicy intersections of meaning. It’s a device on which to watch video, read text or do work; it’s also a filter, a barrier that blocks out imperfections and lets the good stuff through. Two shows currently on view — Chris Sollars’ “The Neighbors” at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and Sebastian Alvarez’s “The Completion Office” in the McCarthy Art Gallery at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester — consider how we use screens and other tech to understand the current moment in ways that also play with multiple meanings. Sollars investigates the natural world surrounding his rural home; Alvarez contemplates the era we’re entering, what will persist and what will get screened out.

The Flynn Showcases New Works on the State of Democracy
The writing prompt was deceptively simple yet vast in scope: Compose a new 10-minute play that answers the question “What is the current state of democracy in America?” The deadline: two months, preposterously short for one playwright, let alone 34 with busy careers in professional theater and national, if not global, reputations.

Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story
Gogol Bordello is a fascinating band. A blend of Slavic folk music and punk rock, Gogol Bordello has been an avant-garde musical experience on the periphery of popular music for decades. The band leader, Eugene Hütz, is a Soviet era refugee to America. In Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story, we learn the entire life story of the esteemed Mr. Hütz from his childhood in Soviet Ukraine to his family immigrating to Burlington, Vermont, and beyond. Starting with listening to bootleg punk albums to the Gorbachev-approved performance of Sonic Youth in Kyiv in the late 80s, Hütz has been inspired to compose bohemian punk melanges.
