At Edward Hopper’s Doorstep
John Walsh Thursday, December 7, 2017, 5:30 pm
Edward Hopper (1882–1967) painted Rooms by the Sea in 1951 on Cape Cod, in the place he knew best: the studio in his house in the dunes. This agreeable-looking summer scene makes some viewers feel unsettled—a reaction that the artist intended. This lecture examines how Hopper composed the picture from his familiar surroundings and proposes some of the ideas that he may have meant to convey. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund. Followed by a reception.
In each lecture in this series, John Walsh selects an American painting in the Gallery’s collection and examines the similarities and differences between depiction and reality, returning to the painter’s original vantage point in an attempt to work out just what happened when he returned to the studio.
Note: This lecture is the sixth and final in the series American Views, Viewpoints, and Manipulations.
Cape And Islands (Meredith) Hydraulic Elevator-595 Main Street (Gallery Building) Chatham, Ma
***Unfortunately, I don't believe this elevator exists anymore...***
It's been a while since I have been here. But anyways, here is the video.
This is a Cape And Islands elevator. Supposedly, Cape And Islands was a sub-company of Meredith, serving the Cape Cod area, where this so happens to be. In 1990, both companies merged into what is now Associated Elevator (and they distribute ThyssenKrupp elevators, and I have filmed one).
History:
The elevator is alright. The only stupidity this elevator has is that if it has not been active for a while, the door will take a while to close (about five seconds), whereas if it has been used, it will close right away.
This building is a mini mall. It contains some local shops and restaurants, but is small. It does not look like much from the outside, but on the inside, it does (which I forgot to show in the vid).

Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant
BFA Photography and Video and Saint Lucy Books, a website devoted to writing about photography and contemporary art, present a reading and book signing with Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant.
Larson will read excerpts from her book Hidden Mother which tells the story of the adoption of her daughter from Ethiopia as mapped through nineteenth-century hidden mother photographs. Durant will read excerpts from 27 Contexts: An Anecdotal History in Photography, a series of linked essays that weave memoir with photographic history and theory to examine how photographs are inextricably bound in our personal and collective histories. The readings will be introduced and moderated by SVA faculty member Lyle Rexer, author of The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography, and will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing reception.
