12.6.13: The Well of Being

11 years temu

—

After a long career as a visual artist, Baltimore painter Jean-Pierre Weill has written his first book. It’s a children’s book – for adults – and it’s an elegantly simple crystallization of our grownup search for happiness through a maze of doubts and longings. Actually, to say that Weill has ‘written’ this book is to credit him with only half the work he’s put into it. Each page of the one hundred and eighty four pages in this story is supplemented with the author’s original artwork, done in watercolor and pen & ink. Here’s Jean-Pierre Weill reading from his children’s-book-for-adults, The Well of Being .…

11 years temu

Madison Smartt Bell is best known as a novelist, but he has always written short fiction as well. Releasing a collection of seemingly unrelated short stories is no easy feat in the evolving world of publishing, but Bell has found a rather unique approach. He joins producer Lisa Morgan to talk about his new book, "Zig Zag Wanderer," which brings together two decades of short stories set in the US, Haiti, and beyond.…

12.6.13: Restoration Begins for the Washington Monument

11 years temu

—

This past Thursday night, festive crowds gathered on the cobblestones at Mount Vernon Place to celebrate the annual lighting of Baltimore’s Washington Monument. The statue of George Washington looked regal as ever, perched atop his marble column amidst the colored lights and fireworks, but the venerable structure has suffered nearly two hundred years of wear and tear. The truth is, it could use a makeover, and, as Aaron Henkin reports, it’s about to get one. For more info on the restoration project, check out the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy…

Have you ever taken a drawing class, the kind where you draw a live model? Most of those models just do the work on the side, here and there, to make a few extra bucks. But there are some lucky ones who have agents, managers who treat them like superstars and tend to their every need. Producer Aaron Henkin takes us inside one of the most exclusive modeling agencies around, The Drawing Zoo .…

11.15.13: Heather Rounds’ “There”

11 years temu

—

Heather Rounds’ novel, There , follows a young American journalist working in the northern Kurdish zone of Iraq as the region slowly regains its footing after years of war and upheaval. Not structured like a traditional novel, "There" is more a series of stories, impressions, and memories laced together from snatches of conversations, chance encounters, and pages of notes and journal entries. The fragments lend a surreal quality to the story; the rules of time and space are suspended, as in dreams. Heather Rounds joins producer Lisa Morgan to talk about “There.”…

11.8.13: Pop Goes the Banjo

11 years temu

—

The banjo has been on a long, strange musical trip since its first appearance in America. The instrument was first fashioned by enslaved Africans during Colonial times, a musical descendent of their native kora. From there, the banjo rang out through the hills and hollers of Appalachia, a mournful accompaniment to mountain balladeers. Meanwhile, the strumming of the plectrum banjo found its way onto early jazz recordings. Then along came the fast-picking Bluegrass style of Bill Monroe. Recently, the banjo has been enjoying a warm embrace in the world of contemporary rock music, from Modest Mouse to Mumford & Sons. Now, local singer / songwriter Jacob Panic is stretching the banjo’s boundaries one step further, and he visits with Signal producer Aaron Henkin… Check out Jacob Panic at: www.facebook.com/jacobpanicmusic and www.jacobpanic.bandcamp.com…

The New Black is a powerful documentary that explores the complex issue of gay rights within the African American community. From church pews and conference rooms to street corners and kitchen tables, the film reveals the evolution of this divisive issue, and how outside forces influenced voters on both sides leading up to the historic vote for ballot Question 6 in Maryland in 2012, a referendum that legalized same-sex marriage in the state. Director Yoruba Richen spoke to producer Lisa Morgan about “The New Black.”…

11.8.13: A Modern Apothecary

11 years temu

—

A trip to the pharmacy is, let’s be honest, kind of a drag. You wait in line. You give your name. You watch them rifle through the bags. If you’re lucky, they have your prescription ready. You pay, and you’re done. On a good day, you might get a half-smile and a muttered, ‘hello,’ from your pharmacist. It wasn’t always this way. Before the modern-day pharmacy, there was the bygone era of the apothecary. And before pharmacists were relegated to their roles as rubber-stampers of doctor-prescribed medicines, there were herbalists who used their encyclopedic botanical knowledge to create and dispense hand-crafted remedies. Well, what’s old is new again. The Signal’s Aaron Henkin has the story… Upcoming community education events with Oherbals herbalist Olivia Fite: KITCHEN MEDICINE A one-hour class on how to use food as medicine & medicine as food Saturday, November 9th MESH Baltimore Skill Share event 1-4pm Christ Lutheran Church 701 S.

The event inspired him to reach out to conductor Marin Alsop with a request for an interview.

Many of us have heard of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but did you know that Baltimore has a fringe festival, too? Charm City Fringe is a new theater festival that aims to highlight and expand the thriving “fringe” arts community in Baltimore. By creating a venue in which a variety of artists and theater companies can come together, the hope is that some cross-pollination will occur, leading to new ideas and expanding audiences. Festival co-founders Zachary Michel and Michael Brush join the Signal’s Lisa Morgan in studio with a preview of Charm City Fringe ……

10.18.13: Quantifying Creativity

The ancient Greeks prayed to the muses for creative inspiration. (They also practiced alchemy and believed the human body was made of four humors.) And while our understanding of science has become more refined over the millennia, the source of creativity is as mysterious to us today as it was in the age of mythical gods and goddesses. That might be about to change, though, as science tunes in to the human brain – at play. The Signal’s Aaron Henkin reports……
