Our Week Scouted // 10.31.19

We’ve got a lot going on this week, from openings of new art shows and Jefferson’s dream-realized planetarium, to a lust-worthy catalogue and ways to get your heart racing. And of course, the best way to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. 

📷: Beatrix Ost, Nature Politely Declines - Metamorphosis of Order, 2002, Oil on canvas, 66 x 60 inches

SEE: Find your way downtown on Friday, November 1 for an opening reception of Beatrix Ost’s Iluminations & Illusions at Second Street Gallery. An opening reception will be held in the gallery from 5:30 – 7:30pm, with a reading by Ost at 6:30pm. Ost’s evocative and dreamlike work has been exhibited all over the world, exploring the nature of time and intimacy, as well as the fragility of the beauty that surrounds us. The multi-sensory show at Second Street Gallery will include a tightly curated selection of Beatrix’s dark, surrealist-inspired paintings and sculptures, accompanied by a musical score by Abel Okugawa composed specially for the exhibition. There will also be an olfactory element to the exhibition, celebrating fragrance as an artistic medium. Second Street Gallery | 115 Second Street SE | 434.977.7284 Open Tuesday- Friday, 11am - 6pm and Saturday, 11am - 4pm

SHOP: We’ve loved perusing Beecroft & Bull’s Fall 2019 Online Magazine.

And we have to admit, as evidenced below, there might be an item or two you want to snag for yourself. Peruse it online through the link above, or better yet, pop into the store to pick up your copy.  

As a matter of fact, you can head on over to Beecroft & Bull on Friday, November 1 to check out the “Costal Cool” vintage vibe of Faherty Brand as they present their fall ‘19 collection.

LEARN: In 1819, Thomas Jefferson sketched plans for a planetarium spanning the dome of the University of Virginia’s Rotunda Library. Unfortunately, Jefferson’s proposed celestial dome was never realized—until now. The Rotunda Planetarium is scheduled to open on November 1 where an array of digital projectors will transform the Rotunda’s dome room (UVa’s architectural centerpiece and a UNESCO world heritage site) into a vast enlightenment planetarium. A public symposium will be held  in the Rotunda from 2-8:30pm. This event will culminate with a keynote lecture by  Sara J. Schechner, David P. Wheatland, Curator of Historical Scientific Instruments at Harvard University, titled, “Astronomy Inside and Out: Jefferson’s Vision for the University of Virginia,” at 6:30pm. The launch of the Rotunda Planetarium projection will follow at 7:30pm. All are welcome to witness the fruition of one of Jefferson’s dreams.

In the shop now: An authentic, vintage, hand-painted & signed Costa Rican “carreta” in a smaller size suitable for a serving cart in a covered deck or patio area. Complete with matching, painted wooden handled box and grid for serving and holding bottles. As an added bonus, the cart can be completely disassembled and reassembled like a puzzle.

Larger ox carts became a significant means of transportation for rural Costa Ricans after they were introduced to the area circa 1840. Farmers used ox carts to transport valuable crops like coffee beans or sugar cane. The carreta was valued for its ability to maneuver over all types of hazardous terrain.

Over the centuries, cars & trucks replaced the ox cart as transportation. However, ox carts then gained new life as a celebrated form of artwork. The ox cart has even taken on a symbolic significance, commemorating Costa Rica traditions and agricultural history, and was officially declared a national symbol of Costa Rica some 30 years ago. Visitors to Costa Rica can witness carretas in all their traditional glory during the "Día del Boyero" (Day of the Drover) parade, which is held in the city of Escazú every year on the second Sunday in March.

Carretas are now decorated with bright colors and intricate designs. They often boast floral motifs, and the wheels are emblazoned with mandala-like patterns. The artisans who craft carretas also painstakingly choose the pieces of wood from which the wheels will be crafted, specifically so that the carts will make a pleasant sound as they roll through the streets. The wheels consist of sixteen wedge-shaped pieces of wood arranged in a circle and bound with a metal ring.

This example features cheerful colors on a black background. It is in good vintage condition. Come check it out at Folklore Emporium in Ruckersville Gallery. #costarican #carreta #cart #margaritacart #patiocart #servingcart #paintedfurniture #folkart #ruckersvillegallery #cvillevintage #albemarlecounty #virginiavintage #charlottesville #folkloreemporium
