List of Past Grant Recipients and their projects

Paul Chapman (painting-acrylic)
Will explore the visual interest of large machines and the people
that work with them inside the Finch Paper mill. He will focus on the
available light within the mill itself and how it illuminates the
workplace and create 5-6 acrylic paintings on canvas.
Jonathan Newell (music composition)
Will compose a string quartet
of twenty minutes for ballet, which contains six movements. It will
incorporate the poetry of William Bronk, a former resident of Hudson
Falls and will be danced by Adirondack Repertory Dance Theatre, read by
ACC professor Sheldon Hurst and performed by local quartet The Hyperion
String Quartet at the Hudson Falls High School.
Robert Walp (book arts)
Will perform the printing, binding,
papermaking and illustration of an entirely hand-made letterpress
printed book in an edition of 40 copies. The text will consist of short
passages from Verplanck Colvins reports to the NYS Legislature during
the 28 years of his supervision of the Adirondack Survey, each passage
illustrated with drawings and wood cuts.
Justin Wodicka (video/performance art)
Will use interviews
collected from the greater Glens Falls area, to create a multi-media
performance piece that explores the effects of the recent economic
downturn on life in Upstate New York. Entitled Beneath the Falls, a
performance and corresponding film will be presented to the public. |
