Mosaics & Magpies - a year of Edmonton Public Art

(Detail of Calder Community Mosaic by SpaceMakePlace Design (Rebecca Bayer & David Gregory - photo Doyle C. Marko)

The city of Edmonton is more vibrant thanks to a swath of public art installations over the past year. The Edmonton Arts Council public art and conservation teams were busy as they worked with artists from across Canada to place the final touches on artworks at Calder Library, ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ , Rossdale Linear Park, South Haven Cemetery, and Borden Natural Swimming Pool. In addition to new work, the conservation team took on more than 20 special projects, including cleaning bronze sculptures in two city parks, restoring the Norman Yates mural from the old Stanley Milner Library, and cleaning up Spectators for the Castle Downs Arena.

#YEGCanvas 2017/18 showcased 45 new works by local artists around the city on billboards and the LRT line.

Perhaps the biggest public art news story of 2018 is the completion of ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ - Edmonton’s Indigenous Art Park. In development since 2013, the park was introduced to the public with a snowy opening ceremony on September 15. More than 75 people gathered at the site within Queen Elizabeth Park to celebrate the artists, artworks, and the spirit of collaboration that informed every stage of its development.

ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ is the result of a partnership among the City of Edmonton, Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations, Métis Nation of Alberta, and Edmonton Arts Council with substantial direction from Indigenous artists, Elders, knowledge holders, and community members. The park features contemporary works by six Canadian Indigenous artists that express “the stories of this place.”

The artists are: Amy Malbeuf (Rich Lake, Alberta), Tiffany Shaw-Collinge (Edmonton, Alberta), Duane Linklater (Moose Cree First Nation, Ontario), Jerry Whitehead (James Smith First Nation, Saskatchewan), Mary Anne Barkhouse (Nimpkish Band, Kwakiutl First Nation), and Marianne Nicolson (Dzawada'enuxw Nation). Candice Hopkins was the park curator.

In addition, some yet-to-be revealed works were installed at the Edmonton Valley Zoo and Dermott Park, while artists Sergio Serrano and Alexander Stewart will complete their artwork at Capilano Library early in the new year.

Read on for some images and descriptions and stay tuned in 2019 as new artworks are revealed!

(Calder Community Mosaic - Rebecca Bayer & David Gregory, photo Doyle C. Marko)

Calder Community Mosaic fuses an ancient art form with 21st century techniques. The artwork is made from more than 7,500 triangular stained glass tiles. It measures 4.8m X 2.4m and sits in the Community Room at the Calder Library. The mosaic is visible from the library’s forecourt and welcomes all visitors in the universal languages of colour and geometric pattern.

(One of the two mosaics that make up Ripples on a Pond by William Frymire at Borden Natural Swimming Pool - photo Aspen Zettel)

The artwork Ripples on a Pond is composed of two mosaics created by William Frymire. The colourful artworks resemble small ponds and feature three native Alberta aquatic species – the Western Painted Turtle, the Leopard Frog and the dragonfly. All are interdependent species susceptible to human modification of our natural environment, and key indicators of pond health. The mosaic’s illusion of a shallow pond conveys this message in a playful and fun manner while underlining the natural filtration of the pool’s ecosystem. Realized in a postmodernist style, this mosaic is a contemporary take on an ancient art form.

(mamohkamatowin (Helping One Another) by Jerry Whitehead photo by Brad Crowfoot)

Many nations, Indigenous and settler, helped shape the history of this place, amiskwaciy – “beaver house” in Cree. The theme of helping each other is inherent in mamohkamatowin, artists, artisans, and students came together to figure out the technical aspects, layer the mosaic tiles, and help bring the turtles to life. As they worked, shaping and adhering tiles, students from amiskwaciy Academy engaged with elders and knowledge holders who carry on the tradition of telling stories of this place. mamohkamatowin is a symbol of all these elements, and represents the stories of this place.

(mikikwan by Duane Linklater - video still by Conor McNally)

mikikwan is a concrete reproduction of a 9,000-year-old buffalo bone hide scraper from the archives of the Royal Alberta Museum. The artist chose the bone as his source material because of the many meanings, ideas, histories, narratives, languages and cultures embedded within it. The finished sculpture will memorialize the work of Indigenous women and the relation of that labour to the land. The sculpture also pays respect to the importance of the buffalo itself to the people living in this place, the communal aspect of its use, and its destruction with the arrival of Europeans on the Plains.

(Reign by Mary Anne Barkhouse - video still by Conor McNally)

From the echoes of trumpeting hadrosaurs traversing the valley floor, to being buried under a kilometre of ice, this territory has witnessed radical change over the years. It has been home to hunter and hunted alike, be it Albertosaurus and Edmontosaurus, or coyote and hare. The plants depicted have their own history as important to both body and soul. For those that have gone before, for that which has sustained and for those that have survived, Reign pays respect to the healing and adaptive nature of the land and to the original inhabitants of this territory.

(iskotew by Amy Malbeuf - video still by Conor McNally)

iskotew is a sculptural representation of the word “fire” in nehiyawewin (Cree language) syllabics: ᐃᐢᑯᑌᐤ. The colours chosen are based on colours that are seen in both historical and contemporary works as to illustrate the congruencies and survival within Indigenous cultures. The vibrancy of the colours are also congruent with the vibrancy of our cultures and languages. The nehiyawewin word for woman, iskwew, is derived from the word fire, therefore; iskotew connotes the sacred abilities of women, and the often unrecognized labours of Indigenous women who contributed to creating the place now known as Edmonton.

(Preparing to Cross the Sacred River by Marianne Nicolson - video still by Conor McNally)

Preparing to Cross the Sacred River references and acknowledges the natural formation of the North Saskatchewan River Valley banks, wildlife, and shared stories and traditions of Indigenous peoples. The stone slabs form a wall or “lookout” etched with images of “this place.” The artwork, which features sandblasted patterning reminiscent of beading styles, symbolizes the need to reconnect with ancient and sacred Indigenous beliefs to uphold our relationship to the land and protect the planet. Such activities must be built upon the foundation of ancient stories that tell how humans came to be in this place and how they must act within it.

(pehonan by Tiffany Shaw-Collinge - video still by Conor McNally)

This installation is inspired by the idea of pehonan (Cree – gathering or waiting place) and the oral traditions of Indigenous people as well as the many stories told of this area. It offers a space for teaching, storytelling, or performance. Conceptually, it references the oral roots of this place, and the ways in which stories change depending on proximity to the source. “The furthest back seat (at the top) references the deep past. It’s farthest from our reach when you are at the base, but when you are sitting at the top you have the greatest field of vision with perhaps the greatest perspective. When you sit on the lowest seat you are closest to the future, but not able to see to far into the distance.”

(One of the four sculptures that comprise The Magpies’ Nests by Chai Duncan & Kevin Sehn - photo Doyle C. Marko)

Rossdale Linear Park is a slice of nature in in an urban setting. The Magpies’ Nests considers the complex interactions between humans and nature as well as the concept of “home”. The welded steel nests on top of four plinths relate to structures found in Edmonton. The pyramid references the Muttart Conservatory; the cube stands in for local industrial buildings relating to ideas of innovation and productivity; the pentagonal prism, or house -shape, represents dwellings found the surrounding community; the sphere represents the magpie’s own expertly built domed nest.

(Night shot of Veil by Brandon McGillicuddy & Jeffrey Riedl at South Haven Cemetery - photo by Doyle C. Marko)

Veil is a large fabric-like lattice of airy line work appearing to billow from the South Haven Cemetery Service Building’s rectilinear geometry. The artwork’s delicacy and flow elegantly compliments the design and materials of the building it inhabits, and is empathetic to the sensitive context of the cemetery. The imagery evokes medieval Vanitas, or memento mori paintings, which reflect on mortality, the vanity of life, and transient nature of existence. Cloth, or empty clothing, is used to represent absence and loss. Veil represents loss in a non-religious way.

Raymond Howard Caldwell, age 58

Raymond Howard Caldwell, age 58, of North Wilkesboro, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Friday, March 8, 2019. He was surrounded by his family and love ones as he peacefully met Jesus and entered his eternal home. Raymond was born August 23, 1960 in Oxford, Pennsylvania to Oscar Howard and Esta Stanley Caldwell. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Dallas Gene Caldwell and James David Caldwell.

He served in the United States Army National Guard, where of many values he developed a superb work ethic. Raymond was known to work hard for his family and love ones during his lifetime. He was selfless. Many times he would sacrifice his needs and wants to make sure his kids and family were taken care of first. His jobs ranged from installing siding and windows to selling auto parts and working at Wilkes Regional Medical Center. Raymond was an avid softball player, with a wall full of trophies. As wells as a coach for local county little league for many years. He enjoyed working on and restoring old cars. Anyone who knew Raymond was well aware of his "itch" to find an old 70's car and bring it back to its luster.

His love of people was evident by just meeting Raymond. "Everyone Loves Raymond" wasn't a joke, because if you met Raymond he infected you with his laughter, jokes and his love of life. He never met a stranger and would talk to you about his love for the Lord Jesus, as well as, listening to your stresses to help lift your burdens. Raymond was always ready with an uplifting word. He always had a joke handy, one of which was to send a new siding installer to the truck for the "siding stretcher"(think about it , "can you stretch siding?) He was blessed to work many years with two of his sons and his longtime friend, Randy Little, in the siding business. He had an infectious smile, since of humor, love of life and love for his Lord Jesus which he was entrusted his family with to carry forward.

Raymond's love of animals brought many rescues to his home, two of which were a small scotty dog named "Razor" that went everywhere Raymond went tucked in an inner jacket pocket or under a shirt to go "bye-bye" for a truck ride. Razor passed years ago and his affections were taken over by a tail-less kitten that he nursed to health. McKenna became his loyal companion and would not leave his side. She even played fetch with him as he would throw a pencil and she would run get it, flip it in her mouth and bring it back to him. She calmed him in later months of his illness and she was at his side as Raymond passed.

Surviving are his wife, Melissa McLeese-Caldwell of the home; sons, Jeffrey Allen Caldwell and wife Kristy of Wilkesboro, Phillip Nathan McLeese and wife Sarah of Jefferson, Jeremy Scott Osborne and wife Samantha of Boomer; daughter, Erica McLeese Billings and husband Jonathan of North Wilkesboro; brother, , John Richard Cardwell of North Wilkesboro his "grands", Joshua Scott Osborne, Bryson Lee Osborne, Eliana Grace Caldwell, Adilyn Bell Caldwell, John Thomas "J.T."

View, Esta Marie Caldwell of Hiddenite; and one of his best pals Jerry Call, who was like a father to him.

DANCE / 2017-2018

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

MINI PERFORMANCE

Robert Battle, Artistic Director Masazumi Chaya, Associate Artistic Director

So, What’s Going On?

You may have heard of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AADT). No surprise—they’ve been on the main dance stage since 1958. Based in New York City, the company has toured all over the world, but who exactly was Alvin Ailey?

Portrait of Alvin Ailey by Jack Mitchell

Born in a small Texas town in 1931, Alvin Ailey began his dance training at age 11 by being exposed to classical, social, and folk dances, as well as the emerging style of modern dance. But at the start of his career, he encountered few opportunities for African American dancers like himself.

Ailey wanted to create a company that allowed African American dancers to display their talents and to express their experiences and heritage. When he formed AAADT, it was one of the first professional companies where dancers of all races and backgrounds were welcome. According to the New York Times, “You didn’t need to have known Alvin personally to be touched by his humanity, enthusiasm, and exuberance and his courageous stand for multicultural brotherhood.”

Watch (and learn) what makes Ailey “Ailey.”

youtube

Ailey died in 1989, but his legacy lives on with his company and school. Today, AAADT is under the artistic direction of Robert Battle who not only choreographs new works, but who also invites others to create dances for the company.

What is the Big Deal about Revelations?

Revelations is Alvin Ailey’s signature work and has been performed by the company since its creation in 1960. This masterwork has been seen by more people than any other modern dance. More than 25 million audience members in 71 countries have been to a performance. Now it’s your turn.

First, watch this short film that celebrates the work by telling the history and significance of this modern dance classic.

vimeo

It’s hard to watch Revelations and not be caught up in the emotions and atmosphere of the work. The dance is based on Ailey’s early years worshipping at his southern Baptist church. Drawing on his childhood recollections of people and places, and using traditional African American blues, work songs, and spirituals as his musical inspiration, Ailey tells the story of African American faith and persistence in the face of adversity.

Revelations is divided into three sections; each includes several dances representing different aspects or experiences in Baptist worship. The main sections include:

“Pilgrim of Sorrow” speaks of people yearning for salvation but burdened by the troubles of this life. Look for arms reaching out in all directions, and bodies pulled back to earth. PHOTO by Pierre Wachholder | Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Ghari DeVore and Yannick Lebrun in Alvin Ailey’s Revelations

“Take Me to the Water” is an enactment of Ailey’s own baptism that took place in a pond behind his church. Watch for the devotional leader in white holding a large white umbrella. She leads a young couple to the baptismal river of billowing blue silk. Look for the way the dancers undulate through their arms and torsos and stretch long pieces of fabric to emulate rippling water. PHOTO by Paul Kolnik | AAADT’s C. Heyward, V. Gilmore, R. McLaren, F. Tesfagiorgis in Alvin Ailey’s Revelations

“Move, Members, Move” begins with a trio for three men to the song “Sinner Man.” The next section shows a congregation, decked out in yellow, participating in a joyous church service. Watch how Ailey brings humor to the work by showing churchgoers who gossip and others who fan themselves in the heat. PHOTO by Pierre Wachholder | Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Alvin Ailey’s Revelations

Ailey described the memories that inspired Revelations as “blood memories” because they were so strong he felt they were part of him as much as the blood that ran through his veins.

Another dance the company will perform is Stack-Up. Read on to learn more.

Step Back in Time for Stack-Up

Stack-Up Original Choreography by Talley Beatty (1982) Restaging by Masazumi Chaya Music by Earth, Wind & Fire; David Gates; Grover Washington, Jr.; Fearless Four; and Alphonse Mouzon

Look and listen as the music and costumes for Stack-Up transport us back to another time…the ‘80s to be exact, when Talley Beatty first choreographed this dance. And yet here we are, more than 35 years later, with so many of its themes still relevant today.

Stack-Up was inspired by the jammed freeways and gridlocked traffic of Los Angeles, where Beatty’s tense, chaotic dance dramas play out against a gritty cityscape. But this is about a different kind of traffic—about the pileups and backups between people living “stacked on top each other” in a tight, urban space.

In this three-part dance suite, we meet all kinds of city dwellers—from a young couple in love, to some community gang members, to others just out to have a good time. Each group is interested in “going about their business,” but are threatened by the menacing presence of the drug dealer as he looks for ways to take advantage of those around him.

Watch for:

the lightning symbol worn by one group symbolizing their membership in a gang.

the moment when a young man, despite attempts by his girlfriend to stop him, decides to take some drugs from the dealer.

the way the movement and behavior of the young man changes under the influence of drugs.

break dancing, cartwheels, and back flips.

Who was Talley Beatty?

Talley Beatty was an African American choreographer who lived from 1918-1995. Like Alvin Ailey, Beatty encountered challenges as a black man who wanted to study dance. In fact, he was forced to take ballet classes either very early in the morning or very late at night, and in dressing rooms instead of studios where white dancers studied.

Despite these difficulties, Beatty made a name for himself as a performer and choreographer. He danced with African American choreographer Katherine Dunham who was interested in movement from the Caribbean and Africa. Beatty also danced with Martha Graham, a choreographer who advanced modern dance in the United States.

Beatty’s style is a mixture of ballet and jazz; his work has been described as “fast and explosive,” and focused on the everyday life and struggles of African Americans.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater presents Stack-Up to celebrate 100 years since Beatty’s birth.

Check this out: Ailey’s Signature Style

Ailey accepted dancers into his company who were trained in different styles including ballet, modern, jazz, and hip hop. He encouraged their individual strengths and differences in style, bringing them together in performance like a conductor of jazz music. Despite these differences, there are common elements in his choreography. Watch for:

straight lines in the lower body, with quick and sharp leg and foot movements, like in ballet

an expressive upper body with fluid arms and torso movements, like in modern dance

energetic dancing that emphasizes strength

expressive hands

a fusion of African-influenced movements with ballet and modern dance

There is also good reason why Alvin Ailey called his company “a dance theater.” Ailey was interested in how elements of theater—costumes, props, lighting, and music—could be combined with dance to communicate with an audience. Watch…

how colors have meanings in costumes. Notice how the color scheme for the costumes is different in each section, first earth-toned, then white, and finally yellow. Why do you think he chose these colors?

PHOTO by Pierre Wachholder | Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Alvin Ailey’s Revelations

how props tell a story. In Revelations, the dancers use props to help bring Ailey’s childhood memories to life. For example, long sheets of blue and white fabric stretched across the stage to suggest water; white parasols, wide-brimmed hats, and fans to imply the heat of Texas summers; and stools used by the dancers to represent a seated church congregation.

how lighting creates mood. Revelations begins with a group of dancers standing under a single spotlight on a darkened stage. Later, the dancers move across a fully illuminated stage. Why do you think the lighting changes?

Think About This: Different Ways of Working

Ever wonder how long it takes to choreograph a dance? Kyle Abraham, who created the work Untitled America for the Ailey company, spent two years on his three-part dance. But his process was in and out of the studio over months. Abraham held focused sessions with the dancers of two or three weeks at a time with long breaks in between. During those breaks, he thought about how he wanted to put the piece together before trying the movement with the dancers.

Choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti created Deep in a different way. Bigonzetti never plans out the movements before entering the studio. Instead, he studies how each individual dancer moves, and what their personality is like. His choreography depends on the strengths and style of the individual dancers.

Two different choreographers. Two different styles. If you were a dancer, would you want the choreographer to include you in the creative process, or tell you exactly what steps you needed to do?

Take Action: Art for All…

Alvin Ailey made Revelations based on his own personal experience, yet it speaks to people of all ages, all over the world, regardless of their racial and religious backgrounds. After you see the work, brainstorm why you think it inspires so many people every time it is performed.

Share your thoughts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Snapchat, or any platform of your choice. Use #artforall as your hashtag.

Note for you:

Not everyone can handle driving motorbike in Vietnam. Even if you can drive “decent”, you still have to consider many things that we will put in the tips below. Check it out!

Local Tips

– In peak seasons or national holidays, the price will be higher and to secure the ticket, you should do all the booking days before departure.

– Arrive at train and bus stations on time because the schedule is fixed and they won’t wait for you

– Beware of renting car or motorbike that are “so cheap” and don’t have any contract or certification paper. You can get a poor condition one or be scammed!

– Traveling by taxi, you should choose the metered taxi to avoid overcharge. We recommended Taxi Mai Linh, Taxi Hoa Lu, Taxi Ninh Binh, Taxi Minh Long. Or you can deal the price with the driver before getting into the car.

– Renting a motorbike, remember to bring your copies of identification paper or passport. Usually, you will have to deposit and make a contract. Keep the related paper carefully and check the condition of the motorbike before purchasing. Also, you can ask for some new models in order to avoid technical problems may occur on the trip.

– Important, you need to have the International Driving Permit if you don’t want to get troubles with traffic cops in Ninh Binh. Don’t forget to pay attention to the milestones along the road

That’s all you need to get to Tam Coc from Hanoi. Hope you can find the best transportation means for your upcoming trip.

All Gothamed Out

Constant hassles are a small price to pay for blocks full of vacancies where your favorite restaurants used to be. New York City is no fun despite a reputation you heard about from an artistic cousin who lived in a Tribeca loft in 1987. His gunshot wounds make him untrustworthy. Today's Duane Reade drugstores alternating with Chase Bank branches don't make fighting for sidewalk space worth it, even with the occasional Starbucks for an exciting diversion. It's too bad high taxes drove out the individual stores liberals claim to adore.

Who's not really in charge here? The only thing worse than electing a pinko who resents the people he rules getting to choose who leads is reelecting him. Spiritual East German Bill de Blasio brings countless rules without fascism’s benefits. It's truly the best of both worlds. Landlords can't charge whatever people will pay for housing, but you can hop subway turnstiles. Re-breaking windows puts hoodlums in charge. Miscreants are inspired by their mentor in City Hall, presuming he shows up that day.

De Blasio is limp even for an unabashed commie. I bet his next plan involves taxing those who've gotten promotions. How else would he fix the subways: competence? His proposed levy on the rich to fund trains is a classic. Two dollars and 75 freaking cents per ride apparently isn't enough to get anywhere in a timely manner, as rich jerks need to be punished more to make class warfare work. It's one thing to be a corrupt scumbag blatantly using power to sell favors. It's another to presume every successful person does the same.

But looking for excuses isn't the top comrade's only skill. For one, there's winning elections so he doesn't have to work for a living. I can't blame him: have you seen the disdain he has for those who do? Further, the complex mayor of Earth's alleged greatest city loathes success and cops as if they're the ones depressing Knickerbockers.

Sure, the wealthy can drain the economy by concealing their jewels from the taxman. And the mayor doesn't have to worry about getting stabbed by a gentleman asking for change on the C Train. But he thinks he's caring, and that's what leftism is about.

Quality of life crimes are the only thriving industry. Panhandlers are a nice distraction from graffiti. The Politburo-style mayor won't punish those using sidewalks as living rooms, bathrooms, or bedrooms, even though those are activities traditionally performed inside. If you want to make the bums disappear, give them cop uniforms.

Sure, we all miss the porn. But perhaps it's better in your search history than on 42nd Street. The old days weren’t exhilarating despite what burnouts claimed, as there are better ways to feel stimulated than with a knife between your ribs. We don't need that much filth to feel alive. Creative people thrived despite the fear of getting mugged while jumping over junkies, not because of it. Character doesn't have to mean squalor. Now, New Yorkers step over junkies on their way to the Disney Store.

Earth's epicenter of capitalism is ruled by someone who loathes private property, which is not as fun as it sounds. New Yorkers get all the disadvantages of living in a teeming mess overflowing with cranky misanthropes living close to as many millions of people as possible. But at least a mayor who's never created anything people want won't let Walmart open.

The boroughs are dirty without being gritty. Central planning ruins Central Park. Those of us who want the government to leave us the hell alone will never get why sanctimonious wealth resentment is so popular in a city for strivers. Small government should be second nature in a city devoted to headstrong individuals. But pretending to care is a popular habit amongst those who already made it. Those barriers they adore for our own purported safety keep it from happening for others. There will always be victims to help.

It could be worse, which is hard to believe if you've been threatened this many times by subway lunatics. They never miss their shifts. The remarkable willingness in the '90s to let cops fight criminals is structurally tough to change. If it weren't, the few workers left could commute by sailing on blood rivers.

The only reason Gotham hasn't degenerated into the Warriors set during Escape From New York is because the pouty mayor is unable to get every rotten cop-loathing initiative he wants. It's reminiscent of how Barack Obama lamented he couldn't screw up the country as much as he wanted because of that dang Constitution. Imagine either pompous dolt implementing full agenda, then shudder. Professional disassemblers don't realize how lucky they are that people with diametrically-opposed values protect them.

It's not to trust any politician. But some are less worse. Sensible New Yorkers make a plea for the improbable on behalf of Republican hopeful Nicole Malliotakis. Sure, she would be considered fairly liberal anywhere west of the Hudson. Then again, so was Rudy Giuliani. And the prospect of avoiding loathing businesses or law enforcement would offer relief in and of itself. Being Not de Blasio would on its own be an improvement.

A miracle is nice every so often. Apple didn't seem like it would make it around the mid-90s, which was the time the metropolitan murder rate plummeted. But they managed to persevere and put a phone in everyone's pocket while forgetting why we stuck with lousy behemoth Microsoft's machines. Either way, the one lesson of the Trump era is the difference between what does and should happen.

I hope there are enough ticked-off New Yorkers who realize the Sandinista playbook is unbecoming for Fun City. There's no reason to live there without believing improbable things. On that note, you should see what rent costs. Why buy a mansion in a Red State when you can have your own Manhattan closet?

Introducing the ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ Artists ~ Jerry Whitehead

(Artist Jerry Whitehead (r) with mosaic fabricators Erin Pankratz (l) and Karen Klassen (centre) at amiskwaciy Academy - photo, E. Pankratz)

ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ - Edmonton’s Indigenous Art Park opens this fall. The park features artworks by Mary Anne Barkhouse, Duane Linklater, Amy Malbeuf, Marianne Nicolson, and Tiffany Shaw-Collinge, and is near completion. In anticipation of the park opening, the YEGArts Blog is featuring conversations with the artists about their artworks and the inspirations behind them.

Today we feature Jerry Whitehead, a Vancouver-based Cree artist from the James Smith First Nation in Saskatchewan. His artwork is called mamohkamatowin (Helping Each Other)

(Both turtles installed at ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ and awaiting final landscaping - photo, C. Boida)

Edmonton Arts Council: How did you approach creating mamohkamatowin for the park? What inspired you?

When I looked at it, I liked the fact ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ is a park within a park – a little island. Then I wondered what I could do to make it interesting and I started thinking about the Cree creation story, which is like all Indigenous creation stories because they think of North America as Turtle Island. This got me thinking about turtles. I also had worked on a project in Vancouver where we did a big long retaining wall with mosaics in it – so I had that knowledge, then I thought, “I can paint, I can incorporate mosaics, because the turtle carries a mosaic on his back; he carries stories. They are one of the oldest creatures on earth, so if the turtles could talk, imagine the stories they could tell!”

(”Mother” Turtle installed - photo, C. Boida)

The workshop that was held for the shortlisted artists in October 2015 really gave me direction on the kinds of things I should put on the turtles. I didn’t want to put just “my art” on them. By getting all the Elders and knowledge holders together to talk to the artists, it really opened all kinds of possibilities for me!

EAC: You collaborated with high school students from Edmonton’s amiskwaciy Academy on the work. How did that come about?

That was funny! I was staying at the Nova Hotel, which is about a five-minute walk from the school. My friend was driving me around and said, ‘Hey, you know there’s a high school back here?’ So, we came over really quickly, and had a quick chat with Lloyd [Bloomfield], the Vice Principal at the time, and he said OK, they were happy to accommodate the project. Things just kept happening to connect us – it was a good thing. I love this school.

(Detail of pow wow dancer waiting for grout - photo, EAC)

EAC: How does mamohkamatowin fit in with your body of work?

I’ve been painting pow wow dancers for so long – they were such an important part of my childhood. You can see them throughout the art on both turtles. I’ve placed them at the bottom, so you are looking up at them. Everything that involves dancing, and that life, I think it just fits in with what’s being told about Edmonton. Dances tell stories, it’s storytelling.

EAC: Why did you choose mamohkamatowin as the title?

The whole project worked because people were helping each other continuously, throughout the process from the beginning. People helped me out at every stage; from the proposal writing, to the project management and fabrication. Even the project finale was at the school, getting the students involved. All of us involved at amiskwaciy Academy (including Elders, principals, tile artists) wanted to instil that in the students, how helping each other gets big things accomplished.

(”Baby” turtle installed - photo, C. Boida)

EAC: What does the orientation and placement of the turtles represent?

I thought of the river. The baby turtle, is facing north toward the river, but what I found [when I looked at a map] is it’s almost facing directly towards amiskwaciy [Academy]. The mother turtle is facing west toward the ocean. Each are facing water, but what I really like is that directional connection with the high school.

EAC: Could you walk us through the imagery on the turtles?

For the baby turtle, when I first came here last year to start him off, I didn’t really have a plan – I knew I wanted the kids to help out, but it can be tricky to coordinate them. [To come up with the plan] I borrowed the school logo and changed it up a bit. So, you could say the small turtle is dedicated to all the kids who helped out

We started out with a tiny baby turtle on top of the baby turtle, he helps to divide the “shell” into four sections

(South quadrant of the baby turtle - photo, C. Boida)

The red section faces south, and it represents the Métis people. You can see their flag, and the Elder suggested we put in some bear paws. There’s Métis imagery with the Red River Wagon and fiddle.

(Eastern quadrant of the baby turtle - photo, C. Boida)

Then we move to the east, which is the eagle. This section still has the paws in it. The eagle must always be on the east side.

(Northern face of the baby turtle - photo, C. Boida)

Moving to the north, is the buffalo on a white background. We added in the buffalo tracks and the skull. The Elder suggested we have the skull – because this is like the altar. In Native spirituality you see when they pray or have a sweat lodge, there’s a skull there.

(West face of the baby turtle - photo, C. Boida)

Toward the west are eagle feathers – they symbolize what the students have achieved when they complete their schooling here. This is where I started incorporating my dancers from babies into adults, and back again.

The large turtle is the mother turtle – her shell is also divided into four sections. The art on this turtle is more sophisticated – it’s been created with my assistants Erin Pankratz and Karen Klassen.

(Sweat lodge imagery on the mother turtle - photo, C. Boida)

The first thing we put on at the top, was the sweat lodge, the foundation of Native spirituality. Everything revolves around the sweat lodge.

(East side of mother turtle - photo, C. Boida)

Toward the east, we have the eagle again, going into the sweat lodge, with the Northern Lights below, and then my dancers come in again. The three pyramids are actually teepees signifying my three sons. Like a lot of artists, I use symbols to show how many children I have – so the number three comes up a lot. The dancers in this section are all different colours and they signify Edmonton – all the different ethnic groups here.

(South quadrant of mother turtle - photo, C. Boida)

The dancers keep moving into the next section, and here I incorporated some lettering [into their clothes]. I spelled tansi, which means ‘hello’ in Cree. This is the south side of the turtle, so we put in the woodpecker, which is symbolic of the Papaschase people, the original inhabitants of this place.

(Thunderbird and the creation of the world, west face of mother turtle - photo, C. Boida)

Continuing on to the west, we have the thunderbird. This is the creation of the earth – this is one of the stories Jerry Saddleback was telling – how the earth was formed, with lightning.

(Detail of the north-facing quadrant showing a spoon and arrowheads nestled in the archeological strata - photo, C. Boida)

At the workshop for the shortlisted artists in 2015, we all went on a river valley walk with Dr. Dwayne Donald from the U of A. He took us along the river bank and showed us the layers of sediment along the bank. The top part is recent Edmonton history – we included some bricks in there and a spoon. Then below this line on the lower level we have a couple of arrow heads to suggest the old history.

(North quadrant showing a beaver on the riverbank - photo, C. Boida)

We also put in a really colourful beaver here. All his colours refer to Edmonton and how diverse it is. He’s drinking some water and just enjoying himself!

These are meant for kids to interact with. Once they’re installed they’ll be the perfect height for kids to sit on and they can gently climb on the turtles’ backs.

What Podcasters Can Learn From Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry died last month at the age of 90. I saw him four years ago at a special event that honored him with tons of musicians (Merle Haggard, Ronnie Hawkins, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Joe Bonamassa and Lemmy Kilmister) coming to play his music and honor him. At the end of the night, Berry accepted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's American Masters of Music Award, wrapping the Hall of Fame's weeklong celebration of Berry's life. In the end, they brought Chuck out with a band consisting of a lot of his children who knew how to follow their father's (at times) unpredictable behavior (Chuck got confused in the middle of song two, and restarted it). Chuck got us smiling from the very first moment. He said, "It's great to be here. Then again, I'm 86; I'm glad to be anywhere." So here are some things, on Episode 560, that podcasters can learn from Chuck Berry.

Now as a guitar player myself, you start playing the guitar hoping to play Stairway to Heaven, Iron Man, Smoke on the Water, you want to be Van Halen, but you don't start there. You start with Chuck Berry, and you start with Johnny B Goode. In the same way that every band has to learn Mustang Sally and Brown Eyed Girl, every guitar player has to learn how to play Johnny B Good. I am no exception.

It's not about the tech. Keep it Simple

Other musicians had pedalboard were made of technology on top of technology. They could do the river dance as they changed the tone of their guitar with each tap of their foot. Chuck came out with his trusty guitar and plugged into a single amplifier. He hit the opening riff of Roll Over Beethoven, and you could not help but smile. Chuck had one tone, it was Chuck Berry. This was not a drill, this was not a test, right there in front of my was Chuck Berry. He had a smile on his face, and by the third beat, the whole place was clapping along to the music, dancing, or both.

2. Give the People What They Want.

Chuck Berry had many styles. Some of his songs had remnants of country music. He played slow blues., You probably don't know most of those songs. If you wanted airplay, you had to play something kids (teenagers) wanted, and could dance to. One other thing, the teenagers were the ones buying the music. Rock and Roll music was new. It was a great way for being rebellious, and the fact that this was Rock and Roll from a BLACK MAN, made it even more revolutionary (this was the 1950s). You will notice that Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny B Goode, Rock and Roll Music and many other Berry titles are pretty much the same song. When he appeared on the Johnny Carson show, he said to the band leader, "It's the same as the last song" as they prepared to play another song. However, those songs like Sweet Little Sixteen, School Days, and others were instantly relatable to his audience.

He also had suggestive lyrics which probably made parents offended. Here is a verse from Roll Over Beethoven:

Well, if you feel and like it Go get your lover, then reel and rock it Roll it over and move on up just A trifle further and reel and rock with one another, Roll over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues.

3. Chuck Was Engaging

Chuck made sure you were looking at him. in the early days of his career he usually wore black or white suits, but his eyes, mouth, and hands, and especially his legs demanded attention. He would strum his guitar in a way that has hand moved from the back to guitar toward to top. As a guitar player, I can tell you it makes almost no difference where you strum an electric guitar, but it looks cool (and yes, I've borrowed that move). His "Duck Walk" he said in a CBS interview was a mistake. He had slipped and fallen and the "Duck Walk" happened as he was trying to get back up. He noticed the ovation and worked it into his act. Chuck paid attention to what made the audience go wild.

4. Charge What Your Worth

There is only one Chuck Berry. Sure everyone from the Beatles, Stones, Elvis, Duan Alman, The Kinks, John Lennon, Simon and Garfunkle, Bruce Springsteen, and David Bowie, they all have covered his music. There is only ONE Chuck Berry. Consequently, Chuck knew this and after being ripped off in the early part of his career, he started demanding that he get paid up front, in cash.

5. Chuck Got the Audience Involved

Most of his big hits made it super easy to make them "sing-alongs." All Chuck had to say was "Go!" and put his hand up to his ear and the audience would sing "Go Johny Go, Go.."

6. A Little Planning Up Front Saves Some Editing Time Later

Post-1970 Chuck didn't tour with a band. He brought his guitar and whoever was promoting his concert was in charge of putting together a band. On a tonight show appearance, he said, "well everybody knows my music." This was true, but they all sounded the same. While they are not obvious, when you see Chuck perform with these acts, the intros are a little sloppy, and the endings were often train wrecks as the band didn't know that when Chuck kicks his leg up that meant stop.

7. Don't Break The Law

Chuck had issues with the law about every 15-20 years. One involved him putting cameras in the women's bathroom. While he was never convicted of wrongdoing, he did settle out of court, and it cost him 1.2 million dollars.

8. Take Care of Your Team / Get Things in Writing

One of the reasons Chuck insisted on being paid in cash is he had been swindled out of money by promoters and clubs in the past. One key player in Berry's band was Johnnie Johnson (his piano player). In November 2000, Johnson sued Berry, alleging he deserved co-composer credits (and royalties) for dozens of songs, including "No Particular Place to Go," "Sweet Little Sixteen," and "Roll Over Beethoven," which credit Berry alone. The case was dismissed in less than a year because too many years had passed since the songs in dispute were written.

9. Don't Spend all Your Money on Gear

A recent report estimated Chuck's estate is worth 50 million. While some of this is from record royalties, Chuck invested in Real Estate. When you start making money with your podcast (if that is something you choose to do) spend some on your family, put some in the bank (and avoid the stress of worrying about money).

10. While You Can Give Them Something Similar, it Still Has to Be Good

Did you know there was a sequel to Johnny B Good? Me neither. According to Wikipedia it never charted in any country. So in the same what that creating a song about Johnny B Good isn't going to equal chart success, creating a podcast with the phrase "On Fire" (or whatever is hot at the moment ) does not mean you will get chart success.

Why People Remember Chuck Berry

There is a famous quote by Maya Angelou, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Chuck Berry's music made people smile, it made them want to dance, and they lead to them having fun, and in some cases there was realin' and rockin'.

Podhero Review

What is Podheri.io?

Podhero is described as a swiss army knife for podcasters with a goal of making podcast creation and promotion easier.

Audio Processing

The site describes it as "Automate the technical hurdles to make your vocals sound amazing." So I compared it to Auphonic.com as they both level out the volume, and remove noise (hiss and hum). If I were to judge the output, I would say it's very close (if not a tie). In looking at the wav forms, it appears auphonic might have an ever so slight edge, but keep in mind, my ears didn't' notice anything. The only true advantage (depending on your attitude) is Auphonic has more configuration options (so you can set loudness levels if you want to just level volume and not remove noise). But I was impressed with the audio processing. This opinion is based upon testing one file.

Podcast To Video

If can take your audio podcast and send it to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. It also gives you a basic tool to create a custom artwork. You can do this if you are using Libsyn and Spreaker. Blubrry does some distribution (but they only do the first few minutes of your show). The tool for creating an image is really basic and is better than nothing. When there are tools such as canva.com as a free option, I could see using Canva to create the image, and then use the "upload your own" option here to make your video. Is video worth it? My last episode from the School of Podcasting had 26 views, and I was surprised that the analytics show people were watching a majority. My advice would be to open this tool in a new window as the processing of audio to video is going to take some time. Currently, you can have the tool automatically post to YouTube (with plan of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium)

Website Widget Review

This tool will put a small pop-up on your website. You just copy and paste some code. For me, I find this tool "meh" because ratings in iTunes are great social proof, they don't help you advance up the charts (I thnk people put too much emphasis on them as a "must do").

My Podcast Reviews

This tool brings you all of your reviews from all of the stores. This is a free tool. This does have a feature that I found interesting. It shows you your reviews across a period. I found that interesting. They attempt to show you (on a map) where the reviews come from, but besides getting the country correct, I wouldn't count it accurate from a geographic standpoint.

iTunes Keyword Tracking

This allows you to put in your (or your "Competition's") iTunes link and enter a keyword. So I can see where The Audacity to Podcast Ranks higher than my show, but I rank higher than the Podcast Report. That's interesting. There is no way to say "who is #1?" I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to with this information. Many moons ago I had a program called Webmaster Gold, and it would track your website and let you know where you ranked. This lead to people writing articles more for the Google Web crawler instead of the humans who were reading it. Also, when I was a teacher in the corporate world, I would do my best every day. Every day I got scored by my students. While I always feel there is room for improvement, I'm not sure there was anything I would change (in most cases) if someone gave me an average score. So for me, I see this as a set of interesting statistics, that people can obsess over, but in the end, may not lead to any value being delivered to your audience.

Episode Media Kits

If you do a lot of interviews, this could be your favorite feature. Here you upload promotional images, create messages to go to Twitter, Facebook Google+, and LinkedIn. You upload pictures, create your tweets, and copy and link and send that to your guest. They can send a message with a single click. For me, this is the most useful tool (again, if you're doing interviews, but don't limit your thinking, why not put the link in your post and give your audience access to promote your episode.
