Movie: Breath Made Visible

7:30pm
$7.50/general, $5/members
Directed by Ruedi Gerber, Breath Made Visible is the first feature length film about the life and career of Anna Halprin, the American dance pioneer who has helped redefine our notion of modern art with her belief in dance’s power to teach, heal, and transform at all ages of life.  This cinematic portrait blends recent interviews with counter-parts such as the late Merce Cunningham; archival footage, including footage of her establishment of the first multiracial dance company in the US; and excerpts of current performances such as Parades and Changes at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris.  The film weaves a stunning, inspiring account of one of the most important cultural icons in modern dance.

Movie: Bluebeard

5:30pm
$7.50/general, $5/members
Based on Charles Perrault’s grisly fairytale, Bluebeard tells the story of young Marie-Catherine, child bride to an aristocratic ogre with a reputation for murdering his wives.  The controversial director Catherine Breillat brings her personal touch to this classic tale, a surprising favorite of good little French girls since the 1950’s.  Princess Marie-Catherine must employ all her cunning to outwit her husband and escape a potentially unpleasant fate.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica

Exhibition Opening
11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica.  This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief:  the loss of their two young children.  Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets.  The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home.  The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

3rd Annual Water Chestnut Removal

8am-12pm
Join us for an educational program and work day on the water as we remove this non-native, highly invasive species.  The densely growing Water Chestnut can effectively choke a body of water and shade out native aquatic plants, limiting recreation and habitat.  Water Chestnut must be removed every year before they can drop another round of seeds.  Learn how to remove these aquatic plants and dispose of them properly.  We’ll pull out the plants from the shore, wearing waters, and from the water by canoe.  We’ll provide waders (in a variety of sizes), gloves, and canoes/kayaks.  If you have your own, bring them along!  Please wear old clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.  Lunch and beverages provided.  Call Jenny Brinker to register.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica

11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica.  This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief:  the loss of their two young children.  Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets.  The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home.  The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

This portrait of Washington super lobbyist Jack Abramoff – from his early years as a gung-ho member of the GOP political machine to his final reckoning as a disgraced, imprisoned pariah – confirms the adage that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.  A tale of international intrigue with Indian casinos, Russian spies, Chinese sweatshops, and a mob-style killing in Miami, this is the story of the way money corrupts our political process.  Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney once again wields the tools of his trade with the skill of a master.

June 28, 1969 – NYC police raid a Greenwich Village mafia-run gay bar, The Stonewall Inn.  For the first time, patrons refuse to be led into paddy wagons, setting off a 3-day riot that launches the Gay Rights Movement.  Told by Stonewall patrons, Village Voice reporters and the cop who led the raid, Stonewall Uprising compellingly recalls the bad old days when psychoanalysts equated homosexuality with mental illness and advised aversion therapy, and even lobotomies; public service announcements warned youngsters against predatory homosexuals; and police entrapment was rampant.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica

11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica.  This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief:  the loss of their two young children.  Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets.  The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home.  The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

Local Self-Portraits

12-5pm
HOH presents a show of self-portrait paintings, photographs and sculpture curated by Richard Roth.  The artists’ styles run the gamut, from primitive to photo realist, documentary to minimalist to abstract expressionist.  What they have in common is geography:  They all live and work, exhibit work, or spend their leisure time in Hudson or Columbia County.

A Night at the Opera

8:30pm
Many fans consider this the pinnacle of the Marx Brothers’ 13 films.  It features Groucho, Harpo & Chico infiltrating high society in the guise of opera promoters.  Packed with great lines (remember “there ain’t no Sanity Claus?”) it includes the most memorable routines (remember the crowded stateroom?) and culminates in a lavish production number that has Harpo swinging ape-like high above the New York opera house stage to the accompaniment of Verdi’s music.

OR,

7:30 PM
OR, is a bodice ripping mash up — a 1660’s cross dressing, free love comedy electrified by the freedom and adventure of the 1960’s — delivered with bawdy wit and punctuated with kisses.

"Do You Know Any of These Good Folks?" Photographing the Shakers

7pm
$5
This illustrated lecture about the Shakers and their peculiar relationship with photography by Jerry Grant, the Museum’s Director of Research, augments the exhibition “VISIONS OF MOUNT LEBANON.”  Though the Shakers saw advantages to the newly invented medium, and sold tourist photographs in their stores, problems of representation, of communal vs. personal property, and the potential for favoritism or celebrity surrounding the photographs caused the leaders of the Shaker Church to outlaw most photographs….for a while. Come hear the rest of the story.
