-"The Solar System"
The students of
Tech Valley High
School under the
direction of their
teacher Ed Coolidge
have constructed...
the Solar System!
Aided by Proctors
education dept and
installed by
Proctors stage crew
led by James
Peterson this outer
space mobile
rethinks the planets
and in doing so
helps us rediscover
the fascination and
wonderment of our
galactic
environment.
Welcome to our
universe! After
destroying earth,
humans are forced
to create
alternative planets.
The smaller blue and
green sphere
represents
the earth, destroyed
from human
irresponsibility.
The surrounding
geometrically shaped
planets are examples
of the new planets
engineered in a
whimsically and
ironic way to create
a new
environment for
humans. The large
blue sphere planet
is filled with
engineered
trees, as
an emblem of the
new understanding of
the importance of
the environment and
nature. Because
it can no longer
live in harmony with
earth, humans were
forced to create
an alternative
environment for
nature. In the
center, the yellow
glowing
cube represents the
sun, enlightening
the universe. The
choices and shapes
used in the piece
take a light-hearted
look at a
post-apocalyptic
universe. The lights
in this installation
are LED's that are
animated
by micro-controllers. The
piece demonstrates
two major messages.
The first message is
one of warning,
predicting the
future of the planet
in an abstract way,
if actions are not
taken to create
environmental
harmony. The next
message is one
of hope- showing
that human ingenuity
and critical
thinking will always
provide a solution
to tribulations that
humans face.

-Ginger Ertz / Soft
Chandelier
Chenille stems,
steel - 2007
Ginger Ertz is a
Schenectady sculptor
who works primarily
in chenille stems
(pipe-cleaners). While
her work is
abstract, it often
recalls undersea
creatures or plant
forms. She is also
interested in
depicting the
movement of
water. The
repetitive nature of
this work is a
meditative process
which allows her
hands time to make
decisions as the
work unfolds
intuitively. Chenille
stems are the
perfect medium for
her: the wire
center creates the
structure, while the
fibers create a
surface that recalls
the comfort of a
favorite bathrobe or
bedspread, and still
invokes the humor
and playfulness of a
child’s art
material. Ginger is
the recipient of a
2009 New York
Foundation for the
Arts
Fellowship. Her
work is exhibited
throughout the
region and New
England. In
addition to her
artwork, Ginger is a
Museum Educator at
the Tang Teaching
Museum and Art
Gallery at Skidmore
College in Saratoga
Springs.

-Café
NOLA-NOLA
representing New
Orleans,
Louisiana-serves a
variety of Cajun
specialties
including po' boys,
ettouffee,
jambalaya, dirty
rice, gumbo and
alligator bites.
Owner Kevin Brown
insists that his
traditional Cajun
fare is not all
about being spicy.
"Louisiana cooking
has the unfortunate
reputation that it
has to be hot and
spicy," said Brown.
"This is simply not
true. The true art
of Cajun cooking is
the unique blend of
herbs and spices
that serve to
enhance the flavor
of vegetables,
seafood, meat,
poultry and wild
game. In addition,
the chef must know
how to blend the
ingredients
together." |
