SUMMARY:"Tête-à-Tête: Two Approaches to a Single Conversation" by Allegra Kuhn and Liz Kalloch  — Exhibit in the Picker Room Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library welcomes midcoast artists Allegra Kuhn and Liz Kalloch for a joint exhibit titled “Tête-à-Tête: Two Approaches to a Single Conversation” in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of January*. \n\n\n\nThe public is invited to view the exhibit and meet the artists during the Closing Reception on Sunday\, January 28\, 2:00 – 4:00 PM in the Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. This is your last chance to see the exhibit! \n\n\n\n\nVigil\, charcoal and fine pastel on paper\, 60″ x 30″\, Liz Kalloch\n\n\n\nMadame Devereux\, collage on board\, 10” x 8” Allegra Kuhn\n\n\n\n\nTête-à-Tête is a conversation between two artists: one playful\, lyrical and exuberant; the other provocative\, performance-based and assertive. The commonalities in their works that cross into conversation are the insistence of color\, the articulation of line and the fundamentals of composition. Kuhn and Kalloch use these three principles of artmaking in different ways\, with great effect. Both artist’s work is grounded in and an extension of feminist thought\, bringing forward different aspects of its expression and is why these two artist’s works resonate so well together and speak to each other in such an interesting way. \n\n\n\nAllegra Kuhn is a collage artist whose intuitive juxtaposition of forms\, patterns and color evoke the joyful cutouts of Matisse and more recently the artists of the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the 1970’s and 80’s\, which had its origins in the concurrent feminist movement\, with artists such as Miriam Schapiro. Like the P&D artists\, who pushed back against the rigor and severity of Minimalism and Conceptual Art\, Kuhn asks us to see the world in a less confrontational way\, inviting in a more serendipitous and spontaneous expression. Kuhn compares her work to the flower arrangements of Japanese ikebana artists\, bringing nature and humanity closer together in a celebration of both. She has exhibited throughout New England and has created public works of art for Waterfall Arts and Coastal Mountain Land Trust\, both in Belfast\, Maine. \n\n\n\nLiz Kalloch is an abstract multi-media artist whose charcoal and pastel works on paper use arousal as the purveyor of intent. The work’s intersections\, interactions and inquiries are emotionally raw\, but inescapably and beautifully human. Kalloch states “I am most interested in where lines cross and speak to each other\, and how color can amplify or dissipate the tension in those lines. I often think of my work as maps—maps that delineate both an external and internal geography. They document where I’ve come from\, where I’ve gone\, and how I move through these transitions and observe them.” The antecedent to this kind of work are artists like Egon Schiele or any of the German Expressionists from the early 20th century. Kalloch’s drawings do not hold back; they are fiery\, explosive and self-consciously dynamic. Kalloch has exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe. Her work is in both private and public collections. Her first public work of art was created in 2023 for the Here is Magic mural at Waterfall Arts in Belfast\, Maine. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n*The Picker Room hosts meetings and library events and is not always open for viewing. Please call ahead or check our website calendar to see what’s happening daily.

SUMMARY:"From Maine to India: Protecting Source Water Systems with Water Funds" - Camden Conference Community Event (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:This Camden Conference Community Event will take place on Monday\, January 8\, at 10:30 AM at the Camden Public Library and on Zoom\, in anticipation of the 37th Annual Camden Conference “INDIA: Rising Ambitions\, Challenges at home.” The event will take place in the morning so as to be amenable to the speaker and participants Zooming in from a different time zone in India. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid program and will take place in the Picker Room and on Zoom. To attend virtually\, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8H0536-tT9qmRVu4HEClDA \n\n\n\nWater funds are a powerful tool for engaging communities in protecting critical local sources of clean water. In this presentation\, representatives from The Nature Conservancy\, a global conservation and climate action organization\, will discuss a model project for lasting water source protection in India and its connections to Maine’s own Sebago Clean Water Fund. \n\n\n\nGirija Godbole\, manager of the Ghod River Water Fund in southwest India\, will speak directly from India on Zoom about the work of her team in Maharashtra\, southeast of Mumbai. Introducing her and explaining water funds and Maine’s connection to the project will be Kate Dempsey\, State Director of The Nature Conservancy in Maine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ghod River basin covers part of the districts of Pune and Admednagar and includes 472 villages\, four towns over an area of 4\,574 square kilometers\, two-thirds of which is agricultural.  There are an estimated 350 small and medium industries in the area. Like other water funds\, the Ghod River Project focuses on a watershed and operates at local\, national and global levels by helping build a coalition of stakeholders in freshwater systems and mobilizing funding streams that will sustain conservation long into the future. Among the purposes of the Ghod River Fund is to form a citizen-scientist coalition\, including farmers and tribal communities supporting stewardship of the basin and ensuring equitable access to water. \n\n\n\nWatersheds sit at the crux of the global climate\, biodiversity and water crises\, so investment in them can move the needle on many of our most urgent societal challenges at once. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\nTrained in anthropology\, Girija Godbole\, Ph.D.\, has worked in the environment and development sector for more than two decades.

SUMMARY:MOVED TO ZOOM ONLY: "How to Weave Maine’s Shipbuilding History into Compelling Fiction" with Irene Drago and the Camden-Rockport Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:Due to the snow\, this event will take place ON ZOOM ONLY. Please register to attend virtually here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CVejNKuZTiiu0g_b_VCK9w \n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, January 16\, at 6:30 p.m.\, award-winning author Irene M. Drago will present an illustrated talk\, “How to Weave Maine’s Shipbuilding History—the Brilliance of Holly Bean\, Dunn & Elliot\, and Percy & Small—into Compelling Fiction\,” ON ZOOM with the Camden Public Library. This event kicks off a 2024 Speaker Series co-sponsored by the Camden-Rockport Historical Society and is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in the shadow of the Brooklyn Navy Yard\, Irene M. Drago developed a keen interest in every kind of watercraft at an early age. Before moving to Maine\, she worked for the Defense Department as a Russian analyst\, earned a Master of Arts degree in Spanish language and literature\, and taught at the high school and college level. Her debut novel\, Daughters of Long Reach\, was a 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Winner\, First Novel and led to a sequel\, The Maine Point. More recently\, Lavinia Wren and the Sailmakers is a 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist\, Regional Fiction. If Drago isn’t penning a story\, you’re apt to find her giving a shipyard tour at Maine Maritime Museum or leading a creative writing workshop. But in fair weather\, there’s a good chance you’ll find her piloting her Maritime Skiff on Casco Bay. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrago’s bestselling novel\, Lavinia Wren and the Sailmakers\, pulls the thread of love\, not war\, through history. Orphaned by the Civil War\, Vinnie finds a home in Thomaston\, Maine\, and grows up with a view of the Georges River\, busy shipyards\, and the forbidding wall of a prison. In 1865\, on the verge of turning thirteen\, she meets the son of a shipbuilder\, two young sailors\, and the raven-haired daughter of a ship carver. For the next sixty years\, their lives remain entwined through joy and sorrow as schooners replace square-rigs\, German U-boats appear off the coast\, horse drawn carriages give way to automobiles\, and airplanes take flight. \n\n\n\nMs. Drago’s historical novels are published by Maine Authors Publishing and are available for sale at most indie bookstores in Maine and online through the publisher at www.maineauthorspublishing.com.

SUMMARY:The public is invited to the Closing Reception for "Tête-à-Tête: Two Approaches to a Single Conversation" Exhibit by Allegra Kuhn and Liz Kalloch
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to view the exhibit and meet the artists during the Closing Reception on Sunday\, January 28\, 2:00 – 4:00 PM in the Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. This is your last chance to see the exhibit! \n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library welcomes midcoast artists Allegra Kuhn and Liz Kalloch for a joint exhibit titled “Tête-à-Tête: Two Approaches to a Single Conversation” in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of January. \n\n\n\n\nVigil\, charcoal and fine pastel on paper\, 60″ x 30″\, Liz Kalloch\n\n\n\nMadame Devereux\, collage on board\, 10” x 8” Allegra Kuhn\n\n\n\n\nTête-à-Tête is a conversation between two artists: one playful\, lyrical and exuberant; the other provocative\, performance-based and assertive. The commonalities in their works that cross into conversation are the insistence of color\, the articulation of line and the fundamentals of composition. Kuhn and Kalloch use these three principles of artmaking in different ways\, with great effect. Both artist’s work is grounded in and an extension of feminist thought\, bringing forward different aspects of its expression and is why these two artist’s works resonate so well together and speak to each other in such an interesting way. \n\n\n\nAllegra Kuhn is a collage artist whose intuitive juxtaposition of forms\, patterns and color evoke the joyful cutouts of Matisse and more recently the artists of the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the 1970’s and 80’s\, which had its origins in the concurrent feminist movement\, with artists such as Miriam Schapiro. Like the P&D artists\, who pushed back against the rigor and severity of Minimalism and Conceptual Art\, Kuhn asks us to see the world in a less confrontational way\, inviting in a more serendipitous and spontaneous expression. Kuhn compares her work to the flower arrangements of Japanese ikebana artists\, bringing nature and humanity closer together in a celebration of both. She has exhibited throughout New England and has created public works of art for Waterfall Arts and Coastal Mountain Land Trust\, both in Belfast\, Maine. \n\n\n\nLiz Kalloch is an abstract multi-media artist whose charcoal and pastel works on paper use arousal as the purveyor of intent. The work’s intersections\, interactions and inquiries are emotionally raw\, but inescapably and beautifully human. Kalloch states “I am most interested in where lines cross and speak to each other\, and how color can amplify or dissipate the tension in those lines. I often think of my work as maps—maps that delineate both an external and internal geography. They document where I’ve come from\, where I’ve gone\, and how I move through these transitions and observe them.” The antecedent to this kind of work are artists like Egon Schiele or any of the German Expressionists from the early 20th century. Kalloch’s drawings do not hold back; they are fiery\, explosive and self-consciously dynamic. Kalloch has exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe. Her work is in both private and public collections. Her first public work of art was created in 2023 for the Here is Magic mural at Waterfall Arts in Belfast\, Maine.

SUMMARY:"Bald Eagles\, Bear Cubs\, and Hermit Bill: Memories of a Wildlife Biologist in Maine" with Ron Joseph and the Coastal Mountains Land Trust\, plus Paul Doiron on his novel "Dead Man's Wake"
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, January 30th at 6:30 p.m.\, the Camden Public Library\, in partnership with the Coastal Mountains Land Trust\, will host wildlife biologist and author Ron Joseph as he recounts the highlights of his storied career. Ron will be joined by novelist Paul Doiron who will discuss his latest book Dead Man’s Wake\, set in the Maine woods. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid program and will take place in the Picker Room and on Zoom.

The couple specialized in rescuing orphaned bear cubs\, providing solitary cubs with teddy bears as temporary surrogate litter mates while biologists scrambled to find sow bears willing to adopt the orphans. The book includes humorous stories\, such as one about the time he had to count piles of deer dung on designated mile-long lines and encountered a woman who bluntly asked\, “So you went to college for that?” Other stories border on the absurd\, including one of an influential legislator who pressured Ron to spray concentrated wolf urine on 30 miles of Route 201 in a harebrained waste of taxpayer money to supposedly reduce moose-vehicle collisions. Many of the book’s stories have previously been published in Down East\, Maine Boats Homes and Harbors\, Bangor Daily News\, Moosehead Messenger\, PenBay Pilot\, and elsewhere. \n\n\n\nNovelist Paul Doiron\, best-selling author of the Mike Bowditch series of crime novels set in the Maine woods\, will join Ron for another one of their tag-team book talks. Paul will share about his most recent novel\, Dead Man’s Wake. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthor Ronald Joseph was born in Waterville\, Maine. Spending childhood summers on his maternal grandparents’ nearby dairy farm\, he became fascinated with songbirds\, often spending hours perched on stacks of hay bales in a post-and-beam barn watching swallows dart in and out to feed their nestlings. Ron’s mother encouraged his love of birds by giving him a copy of Peterson’s Field Guide to Eastern Birds. The book’s colored plates and range maps revealed a fascinating world of birds just outside his front door. His farm chores\, from milking cows to collecting chicken eggs\, were often interrupted by sprints through the barnyard to identify Indigo Buntings\, Chestnut-sided Warblers\, Brown Thrashers\, and dozens of other songbirds. His first bull moose sighting would also leave a deep impression: chased by his grandparents’ Border Collie Bonnie\, the moose ran between the farmhouse and barn\, ducked beneath a clothesline\, and escaped across a hayfield with a bra attached to his antler. Birdwatching\, though\, became Ron’s passion\, inspiring him to pursue a B.S. degree in wildlife conservation and a M.S. in zoology. In 1978\, he began a 33-year career\, first as a state wildlife biologist\, and later as a federal biologist specializing in the restoration of eagles\, peregrines\, and other endangered species in Maine. Now retired\, Ron volunteers for the Kennebec Land Trust\, participates in the Maine Bird Atlas\, a statewide citizen science project evaluating songbird population trends\, and leads Maine birding trips. This is his first book.

SUMMARY:"A Child Within" Photography by Amy Wilton — Exhibit in the Picker Room Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library welcomes artist and photographer Amy Wilton for a photography exhibit titled “A Child Within” in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of February*. \n\n\n\nThe public is invited to view the exhibit and meet Amy during the Opening Reception on Saturday\, February 3\, 2:00 – 4:00 PM in the Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“This body of work was literally born from my womb in the year 2000. A visual chronicle of the life of my two children\, Emma and Nigel\, and their friends\, it documents them from their most boisterous moments to times of quiet reflection. It is in those quiet times that I sense something greater\, something spiritual\, embracing them. I consider these photographs a form of self-portraiture. In each image\, I find my best and worst traits reflected back at me through their attitude and gestures.  \n\n\n\nThere is a delicate balance a mother walks when she chooses to maintain her own identity while raising her children. For me\, this work validates my time spent as a mother and an artist\, in a way that is both concrete and emotional. It also gives me permission to be engaged with my children while still adding to my body of work. I consider this a permanent work in process\, as are both my children and myself.”  \nAmy Wilton\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Wilton is a local fine art and commercial photographer. In 1997\, she moved to Camden and received her MFA in Photography from Maine Media College. Amy has documented a generation of mid-coast families including her own. She has contributed to many books by Down East Press and self-published a monograph called A Child Within in 2008. She is currently working on an updated version. Her fine art has been exhibited most recently at The Steel House in Rockland and at Cove Street Arts in Portland\, and her photographs at FotoNostrum gallery in Barcelona. Emma Wilton grew up in Hope and is studying modern dance at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City. \n\n\n\n*The Picker Room hosts meetings and library events and is not always open for viewing. Please call ahead or check our website calendar to see what’s happening daily.
