Basilica Hudson’s Biennial Pioneering People Honors Courtney Love, Oct 27

Basilica Hudson’s biennial Pioneering People fundraiser celebrates groundbreaking artists, and this year’s event will celebrate the achievements and legacy of musician, songwriter, actor, and performer – Courtney Love.

Creative directed and produced by Basilica Hudson’s Co-Founder and Director Melissa Auf der Maur (former bassist of Courtney Love’s GRAMMY-nominated, certified multi-platinum, award-winning band Hole) and artist Joe Mama-Nitzberg, who was Creative Director of Hole’s Celebrity Skin and is a longtime creative collaborator and comrade of both Love and Auf der Maur, the event will be hosted by a group of creative luminaries and friends, including Aaron Dessner, Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Natasha Lyonne, Ryan McGinley, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Elvis Perkins, Chloë Sevigny, Michael Stipe, Justin Vivian Bond, Kenny Mellman, Brandon Stosuy, Yelena Yemchuk, Jack Walls, and other special guests.

Courtney Love will be in attendance as the honored guest. Love and special guests will be featured in conversations, readings, and performances. The evening’s program will shine a light on all of the ways that Love has influenced culture and inspired women and marginalized people for almost three decades. An exciting lineup of contributors will illuminate the impact of Love’s vital and inspiring art and energy and the inspiration her work continues to instil in the next generation of artists and musicians. The evening’s performances will demonstrate the incredible power and the lasting legacy of Love’s iconic explorations and subversions of femininity, and honor her unapologetic, fearless protest of the patriarchy.

Hudson Area Library Announces Galvan Armory Sculpture Dedication

The Hudson Area Library announces the dedication of the public sculpture, “Still I
Rise” by Kris Perry, on Friday, October 19.

The Hudson Area Library announces the dedication of the public sculpture, “Still I
Rise” by Kris Perry, on Friday, October 19. This public art sculpture has been
recently installed on the grounds of the Galvan Armory; home to the library, the City of Hudson Senior Center and Perfect Ten After School.

The sculptor Kris Perry, known for his large-scale metal sculptures, was inspired by the well-known poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou to create this bronze piece, which was purchased by the Galvan Foundation and stands out prominently in front of the former armory building.

The dedication will feature a reading of “Still I Rise” by a student from Perfect Ten, a Question & Answer with Kris Perry by Hudson City School District students facilitated by Bridget Smith, Literacy Specialist of MC Smith Elementary School, and Dan Kent, Vice President of Initiatives for the Galvan Foundation, as well as representatives from the library, the senior center and Perfect Ten will be on hand to speak. The Hudson Area Library Tween Council will be hosting the event, which will end with refreshments in the community room.

Kris Perry, born in Berkeley, Ca., studied under illustrator Charles Pyle, and attended California College of Art. A skilled craftsperson and metal fabricator, he has worked with David Best on large scale projects. His own creation, the much-heralded “Machines,” combines industrial sound sculptures with live performance, and has been exhibited in a number of galleries and venues. These collaborations have included Tommy Stinson, Elvis Perkins, Brian Dewan, and others. Large-scale kinetic sculptures have been commissioned and exhibited across the country. His workshop is in Hudson, NY.

DATE/TIME:
Friday, October 19, 2018: 3:30 – 4:30pm

LOCATION:
Hudson Area Library
51 N. 5th St. (at State St.)
