<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong>By STU SAFFER</strong></p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“The rich experience of participating in the art world that is uniquely Laguna, is filled with memories that I will never forget,” she said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Established in 1998 at 354 N. Coast Hwy on North Laguna’s Gallery Row, Meyer brought with her 23 years of International gallery experience. Prior to opening MMCA, Marion interned and later managed Galerie 224 (now DeBilzan) on Forest Ave. for 10 years. She has been long committed to supporting the growth of Contemporary Art in Southern California and attracting International recognition to the Arts in Orange County.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Meyer added, “From operating the gallery day-to-day, being president of the First Thursday Art Walk, and participating in numerous community art events, I truly fell blessed for all the wonderful experiences the business has afforded me. I am thankful for all the wonderful friends and acquaintances I have made over the years and fully intend to stay connected to the local arts in Laguna Beach.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The Laguna Beach resident also said on Monday night, “I would especially like to thank the many art patrons in Laguna - not only at MMCA but for everyone included in this special community. Thank you very much and I look forward to future art events where I can enjoy seeing the many friends I’ve made over the years.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 20.0px Arial;"><strong><em>Laguna Art Museum brought in a good crowd at ‘Best Kept Secret’ opening Saturday night</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong>By SUZIE HARISON</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/nov1/DSCN0457.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong><em>The timeline and ephemera, part of the “Best Kept Secret” exhibit, which opened Saturday at Laguna Art Museum</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">On Saturday night, nearly 700 art enthusiasts went to the opening of Laguna Art Museum’s exciting exhibit, the “Best Kept Secret: UCI and the Development of Contemporary Art in Southern California, 1964 to 1971,” an exhibit that documents the emergence of contemporary art in Southern California and UC Irvine’s integral role.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Although UCI was crucial to the development of contemporary art, its role hasn’t been well publicized until now. More than 30 significant artists to the movement are featured  that offers an incredible look at the scene as it was then. The museum is filled with treasures in the galleries on the main floor as well as the lower level.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“It archives a lot of work. We went through a lot of puzzles to put it together,” said exhibit curator Grace Kook Anderson. The curator had help from Tony DeLap, a pioneer artist of Minimalism and Op Art on the West Coast, who is the project consultant and Curator of Exhibitions at Laguna Art Museum.  She also lauded the artists for their help “[There was] a tremendous amount of time and giving from the artists for this exhibit.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“Best Kept Secret” takes a look at UCI’s formative years starting with its inaugural year in ’64 and takes the viewer on an eight-year journey through ’71, and ends before a different, less significant chapter began.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">A timeline situated in California Gallery gives an exciting visual of the UCI experience with photographs, flyers and ephemera during that time, and illustrates happenings in the art world and world itself.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">During that time, minimalism, color was out, and artists were questioning whether painting was dead. Both teachers and UCI students are on exhibit.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Teachers and teaching methodologies were quite different during those formative years, and the teachers themselves were artists.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“They believed in the university having professional teachers, not just teachers, but artists,” Kook Anderson said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Tony DeLap, Robert Irwin, Vija Celmins were the first influencers and the faculty grew to include Larry Bell, Ed Bereal, Ron Davis, Craig Kauffman, Philip Leider, John Mason, Ed Moses, Barbara Rose, and Alan Solomon.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Davis and the other teachers bulked at convention and preconceived ideas that were floating around during that period.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Instead of color being out, Davis’s world was not devoid of color. For instance, Davis had students pick one color and focused on an abstract exercise.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“He wanted students to follow their own ways,” Kook Anderson said. “He taught about openness, art not being bound by rules or ideologies.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The “Best Kept Secret” offers a world of discovery, not exposed until now. Experience the teachers, whose works are featured in the Steele Gallery and Linkletter Gallery. And explore the students’ works in the Jefferies Galleries, Cuprien Gallery, Brief Gallery, and Segerstrom Gallery. In addition, many finds are exhibited on the lower level, at the Brief and Segerstrom Galleries. These works are more experimental in some ways, as well as a bit more controversial, especially at the time.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Please check out the exhibit. And read more about “Best Kept Secret” in my extensive article on Friday. Laguna Art Museum is at 307 Cliff Drive. For information, call 494-8971 or go online to www.lagunaartmuseum.org.</p></div><span class="article_separator">&nbsp;</span>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px 'Comic Sans MS'; color: #a44945;"><strong>Suzie Speaks</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #fe2617;"><strong>Suzie’s</strong><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="color: #a44945;"><strong><em>Art</em></strong></span><strong>iculation…</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 13.5px; font: 11.0px Arial;">As I started to articulate my <strong>Art</strong><em>iculation</em>, a song suddenly intruded my thoughts, albeit pleasantly. It is/was playing over and over again…well actually my own collage of the Rodgers and Hammerstein epic, “My Favorite Things.” My thoughts and related bliss regarding Laguna’s upcoming art events precipitated my conjured remake of the song and the repetitive line dose of, “These are a few of my favorite things.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 13.5px; font: 11.0px Arial;">Sporadically, and seemingly not of my own volition, “raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,” is added to the mix, along with a little humming effect and random visuals of Julie Andrews singing away.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">My point is that October-ish is a perennial Laguna Beach art events time and hosts some of my favorite art events. In past columns, I realize that I have waxed on about No Square Theater founder, and, and, etc., <strong>Bree Burgess Rosen</strong>, iterating about her creative genius. Well, her clever, visionary mothership will make a landing from Oct. 15 to 30 with the production of <strong>Lagunatics</strong>: 2011. The production put the words imaginative, inventive and original in the books of creativity.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">It is a must see! Alternatively, if it’s your preference, go ahead and be embarrassed that you are no prize and really missed out on merriment, laughter and feel good moments.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">Another event that I so love is <strong>Jodie Gates’ Laguna Dance Festival</strong>, which is having a <span style="color: #292929;">signature fundraiser event on Thursday, Oct 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Surf &amp; Sand Resort &amp; Spa.</span> It is critical to support the dance festival.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">Gates brilliantly and continually brings the top dance companies in the world to our door and lets them in for us to enjoy. Showcasing new and established dance companies and dancers from leading ballet companies – the Dance Festival is always the hottest ticket in town. The 7<sup>th</sup> annual dance festival will be in the spring.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">Other treasures are the happenings at <strong>Laguna Art Museum</strong> and the <strong>Plein Air Invitational</strong>, and so are the exhibits and events happening at <strong>Laguna College of Art &amp; Design</strong>. In addition, we have the <strong>Artist Open Studios, LOCA art classes </strong>and a new <strong>Festival of Arts exhibit at Wells Fargo</strong>. Can you say art whiplash – a pleasant variety, mind you.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">And last Saturday actually kicked of my favorites time of year with one my favorite events of the year - <strong>Aids Services Foundation’s (ASF)</strong> annual fundraiser. Just writing the names <strong>Ken Jillson and Al Roberts</strong> says it all. Who doesn’t love, respect and appreciate these amazing philanthropists? No one!</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">And it is always a delight to see another Laguna philanthropist, <strong>Mark Porterfield</strong>, and his perpetual grin.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">The tribute to Elizabeth Taylor was moving as was <strong>Mondo Guerra’s</strong> speech, a season eight Project Runway finalist designer. He talked about being HIV positive for more than 10 years and how he revealed his status to the show’s judges. It was inspiring to hear his journey.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;">However, I will give you more of the skinny and stats in an upcoming update.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font: 11.0px Arial;"><strong><em>Until then...so much art...so little time.</em></strong></p></div><span class="article_separator">&nbsp;</span>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Laguna Beach artist Fitz Maurice will be showing of her history-making “BERLIN: Metamorphosis Collection” with an artist reception on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. as the inaugural exhibit at Chapman University’s new Great Room in the Argyros Forum.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“BERLIN: Metamorphosis Collection” was first shown by the German Parliament as the artistic rendition of the “Fall of The Wall” and the Reunification of Germany. This collection toured Germany for three years, including an exhibition in the (Rathaus Schonberger) City Hall Berlin and the Museum des Landkreises Waldshut.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 20.0px 'Comic Sans MS';"><strong>LAM exhibit features 30 SoCal artists in ‘Best Kept Secret’ in conjunction with the Getty</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 20.0px 'Comic Sans MS'; min-height: 28.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct21/lam-header_1.jpg" border="0" /><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Laguna Art Museum presents the “Best Kept Secret: UCI and the Development of Contemporary Art in Southern California, 1964 to 1971,” from Oct. 30 through Jan. 22 in conjunction with the Getty’s region-wide initiative, “Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945 to 1980.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Tony DeLap, a pioneer artist of Minimalism and Op Art on the West Coast, is serving as the project consultant and Curator of Exhibitions at Laguna Art Museum, Grace Kook-Anderson, is the curator.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">UC Irvine was a hotbed of creativity and experimentation in the 60s and early 70s, a hub of innovation where exceptional teachers such as DeLap, Robert Irwin, and Vija Celmins taught talented students like Alexis Smith, Chris Burden, and Nancy Buchanan. All but forgotten in the intervening years, this exceptional time and place is now recovered at Laguna Art Museum in “Best Kept Secret.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Often overlooked in art history, UCI played a pivotal role to the development of contemporary art. “Best Kept Secret” takes a look at UCI’s formative years beginning with its inaugural year in ‘64. This was also the year that John Coplans was appointed director of the University Art Gallery.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Coplans was a writer and editor for <em>“</em>Artforum” magazine who moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Los Angeles at this time. One of the first art professors Coplans recruited was DeLap, and the faculty grew to include Larry Bell, Ed Bereal, Vija Celmins, Ron Davis, Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, Philip Leider (editor-in-chief of <em>“</em>Artforum,” ’62 to ‘71), John Mason, Ed Moses, Barbara Rose, and Alan Solomon.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Under the tutelage of this faculty, students included Marsha Red Adams, Michael Asher, Nancy Buchanan, Chris Burden, Ned Evans, Marcia Hafif, Charles Christopher Hill, Jay McCafferty, Richard Newton, Alexis Smith, Barbara T. Smith, Bruce Richards, James Turrell, and Robert Walker. This is only a short list of individuals, as the exhibition will show the works of nearly forty artists of faculty and students during this time.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The year ‘71 marks a significant end year of exploration for this exhibition. The Duchamp Festival – organized by Moira Roth and Rose – took place at UCI that year. The festival included an exhibition, symposium, and a set of performances and talks organized by faculty, students, and other artists.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">As artists at UCI laid the groundwork for formative art practices, utilizing the vacuous ranch land as a site of many experiments, the art community converged, new galleries opened, and new models of artist-run, alternative spaces were created – all before the City of Irvine’s incorporation into Orange County.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Through first-hand interviews with the artists, collected ephemeral materials, early works from the artists of this time-period, the production of a short documentary, and the publication of a book, the overlooked activities that took place will be recognized as an important moment in the emergence of contemporary art in Southern California.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Before the ISMs of art movements became solidified in the ways we view them today, UCI nurtured the roots of various movements of art practice – Finish Fetish, Light and Space, performance, video, conceptualism, feminism, and installation. Because of or in spite of the underdeveloped landscape surrounding UCI and the greater Orange County area at the time, the wealth of artists and activities have been overlooked and under-recognized in the discourse of Southern California art history.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.4px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The exhibit is accompanied by a 170-page publication of the same title featuring artists in the exhibition, essays, ephemera, and a timeline. Peter Frank is the main essayist and Cole Akers, Janet Blake, Jacqueline Bunge, and Kook-Anderson are contributing writers.</p></div><span class="article_separator">&nbsp;</span>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px 'Times New Roman'; color: #f7a65e;"><strong><em>You would have to be a lunatic not to see Laguna’s favorite ‘roast of the coast’ ‘Lagunatics’ on weekends through October</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong>By SUZIE HARRISON</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">It’s play time in Laguna Beach - a time to laugh, have fun, forget the serious and find the silly with No Square Theater’s 19<sup>th</sup> annual, “Lagunatics,” a musical parody revue of life in Laguna - Oct. 21 to 23 and Oct. 28 to 30.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Known as the “roast of the coast,” the show pokes fun at local issues, town fodder and addresses topics gleaned from the local media, albeit presented in a slightly more garish fashion.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Touted this year as being all new and significantly sillier, “Lagunatics” 2011, creator, co-writer and singer extraordinaire Bree Burgess Rosen puts it best, “This is recess for grown ups and we really, really need it.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Burgess Rosen’s playground is full of talent with co-writer and director, Chris Quilter, as they dish up some great satirical numbers with the help of musical director Roxanna Ward, choreographer Paul Nygro and a cast of locals, featuring the City Council, City employees, the City arts commission and many talented actors known as neighbors.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Lagunatics veteran extraordinaire Pat Kollenda, who is on the arts commission, said opening weekend went swimmingly, especially with Sunday’s full house.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“It’s terrific fun, clever as always and has an amazing cast,” Kollenda said. “The writing is brilliant – Chris and Bree just do a phenomenal job with their very clever take off on all things Laguna.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Locals will appreciate the digs taken at timely issues, politics, causes and initiatives, as well as the arts, real estate, ribbon cuttings, road issues, sister cities, tax hikes and the like all brought up in a non-threatening, neighbor-friendly format  - via over-the top song and dance numbers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“A year ago, during the last Lagunatics, we thought about doing one about light pollution,” said Burgess Rosen, as she laughed while telling her bright tale of light pollution affliction.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“I was sitting on my balcony with Rox and Pat Kollenda having a glass of wine, it’s 1 a.m. in the morning and we’re having to wear sunglasses because the people that live below me have such bright lights,” Burgess Rosen said. “They are huge floodlights that never go off and bright as all get out.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The piece turned out to be her favorite with its personal nature, hilarious lyrics and brilliant choreography too.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Coincidentally, the day before the show’s opening, the City Council sent out quite timely fliers about the good neighbor outdoor lighting policy. Burgess Rosen quipped, “Hopefully it will be as successful as the good neighbor tree trimming policy.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Emotions and viewpoints learn to sashay together in this musical mockery, as</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Burgess Rosen has witnessed lifetime friendships torn apart over trees and views and other Laguna strife-filled minutiae.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“It’s not worth getting into it with your neighbors,” said Burgess Rosen.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">In her “Lagunatics” virgin voyage, Councilwoman Verna Rollinger is enjoying the show biz experience.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“We had a full house last night and the audience just loved it. It’s a lot of fun,” Rollinger said. “I’m working, unlike myself, with a lot of very talented people; it’s a joy to see it all come together.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Rollinger is featured in a few spots, playing diverse roles. She’s in a bit about Laguna’s electric car charging stations; “Highway from Hell,” a number that calls out to the often tenuous roadway run known as Laguna Canyon Road; and jives as a presenter in a spoof of the Laguna Beach Arts Alliance Art Star Awards, that champions local art organizations.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">The arts number was the most difficult piece – since the original was in Spanish, using the song “La Bamba” and changing it to “La BAA.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Quilter is fluent in French and Burgess Rosen knows Japanese well, but Spanish – not so much for either writer.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Rollinger’s favorite is Burgess Rosen’s mockery of the luxurious lifestyle and meticulous care of pinnipeds rescued and housed at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“It’s really funny, and she sings her heart out. That’s worth the price of admission,” Rollinger said, waxing on about Burgess Rosen’s incredible voice and talent.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Audiences agree, it was a crowd pleaser opening weekend.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“Chris wrote my song for me - it kills, it’s great, it’s raw meat, and it’s very fun,” Burgess Rosen said. “It’s just about if you were a sea lion, and you got rescued and you got herring smoothies served to you everyday poolside, why would you want to get well,” Burgess Rosen said. “It’s sort of the sea lion grifter who is conning the nice humans.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">And the goats have grazed their way back on stage in “<span style="color: #000000;">It Had to Be Chewed,” performed by</span> No Square’s Joe Lauderdale, an original of the show.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“Joe’s goat number cracks me up because it is this really grandiose song, but with all these goats,” Burgess Rosen said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Run-ins with meter maids, parking and space-mongers of the road – the bicyclist are a part of No Square’s hit list, along with the new greeter, unsightly trash, the red palm weevil and the fishing ban.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">Addressing the annoying bug situation, the weevil gets its due growl to the tune of “Evil Woman,” instead redone as “Weevil Omen.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">City Council members Toni Iseman and Kelly Boyd get to play out their real difference of opinion on issues in the fishing ban piece. Boyd, who sings a solo, quite well Burgess Rosen said, plays a fisherman, while Iseman dances with a giant fish.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“That’s sort of the epiphany we accomplish with ‘Lagunatics’ is that people who are very passionate and on opposite ends of an issue sit next to each other, or in this case are backstage together, and laugh,” Burgess Rosen said. “It’s a lovely healing kind of palate cleanser for the very hot passions that we have in town.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Rollinger lauds the production and cast.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“The company is terrific – how those people get their costumes changed and back on the stage ready to do another number, it’s just really [impressive,]” Rollinger said. “Being backstage, I can now appreciate the work that goes into this kind of production. I’ve never even been close to the backstage of a performance before.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">In addition, it’s obvious that a feeling of camaraderie is strong for the “Lagunatics” cast.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #282727;">“Many people who participate are people I didn’t really know before, and they’re super talented, thoughtful, helpful and encouraging to those of us who really don’t know one stage left to a stage right.” Rollinger said. “It’s a lot of fun.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Since “Lagunatics” is in her blood, Burgess Rosen expressed that the ties are more like a family. Kollenda echoed her sentiments.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“Actually I think we’re very much a family as a cast, which is really terrific. It’s fun to do it and I’m surrounded by great people. There’s a lot of talent.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Performances are Oct. 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 with curtain call at 7 p.m. and on Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. for the gala. Tickets are $45 for Fridays and Saturdays and $35 for Sunday. Gala admission is $100. “Lagunatics” is performed at Festival of Arts’ Forum Theatre, 650 Laguna Canyon Road.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Even in the off-season, Laguna Beach is cranking on the art experiences…the <strong>Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational</strong> kicked off Sunday and runs through next Sunday with an exciting menu of art offerings…see a full calendar listing in today’s edition of Stu News.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">As part of the offseason delights – <strong>LAGUNATICS</strong> is a must see, so snatch up tickets for No Square Theater’s original “roast of the coast,” which kicks off this weekend! It is always a favorite and sells-out quickly.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Although, I was not able to experience my favorite Art Walk this month because I am on vacation in San Francisco – I’ve tried to instigate a substitute art experience or two.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Last weekend I explored open studio galleries as part of <strong>Artspan’s 36th annual SF Open Studios in San Francisco</strong>. The event expects to attract over 60,000 visitors during the month-long artist experience with more than 400 open studios throughout the city over five weekends.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">I was looking forward to it since San Francisco is well known for its art scene. However, my visit to more than a handful of studios didn’t do much except make me miss Laguna Beach. I went to studios around the Haight, yes, the same namesake as ultra cool and ultra talented Laguna Beach artist Betty Haight.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Next, on Sunday, I sampled a bit of <strong>Litquake</strong>. The nine-day SF literary event is the largest independent literary festival on the West Coast and is complete with cutting-edge panel discussions, unique cross-media events, and hundreds of readings.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">I went to an event that was called something similar to “That’s My __ing Stool!”—Writers at the Bar event at <strong>Vesuvio Café</strong> (and bar) in North Beach, next to the iconic City Lights Bookstore, separated only by <strong>Jack Kerouac Alley</strong>. I thought for sure the author’s readings – slam-like style would be intriguing.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">I am a big fan of City Lights and the beat poet movement…with cutting edge writers Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and, of course, Jack Kerouac, who is the namesake for one of my cats.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">While at the event, I remembered how much I was impressed with a Laguna Beach Poetry Slam in 2003.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Once again, I had high expectations and high standards and was a bit underwhelmed overall.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman';">Needless to say, I cannot wait to come back to the arts – Laguna Beach style!</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 20.0px 'Comic Sans MS';"><strong>Bulgaria-born artist, Ivailo Boliarov, at Artist Eye Gallery reception Saturday from 6-9 p.m.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Artist Eye Laguna Gallery will feature the art of Bulgaria-born artist, Ivailo Boliarov, for the month of October with an artist reception from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Boliarov incorporates a traditional oil on canvas style of painting. His focus is on the south coast area of California, and he favors landscapes and seascapes.  He also uses drypoint engraved zinc and copper plates to produce intaglio prints, a style used by classic painters like Picasso, Rembrandt and Goya.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“I get inspired by the drama that structures can bring to a landscape. Being able to discover time weathered objects that proclaim their own history is exciting and has always fascinated me,” Boliarov said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct11/ArtistEyeBulgaria.jpg" border="0" style="float: right; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" />The artist was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1972. He started taking private drawing and painting classes in 1984. Two years later Boliarov was juried and accepted in the High Specialized School of Arts in Sofia. He graduated in 1991 with a diploma of secondary specialized education in arts, and was awarded the “Artist Performer” with specialty arrangement from the school. From 2001 to 2004, Boliarov graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts and Communications.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Boliarov is a member of the Union of The Bulgarian Artists and the International Association of Art (IAA) and UNESCO in Europe.  He currently lives in Huntington Beach. Artist Eye Laguna Gallery is at 1294-A S. Coast Hwy. For information, call 497-5898 or go online to www.artisteyelagunagallery.com</p></div><span class="article_separator">&nbsp;</span>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 20.0px 'Comic Sans MS'; color: #735f8c;">Fall for new artists and exhibits at Laguna Beach Art Walk galleries this Thursday</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">As the season has transitioned from the summer art festivals to fall, the art continues with First Thursdays Art Walk in Laguna Beach from 6 to 9 p.m., Oct. 6. Not only will the evening feature a self-guided tour of gallery openings around town, but also artist demonstrations, receptions, live music, choreographed dance performances and an exciting cultural energy, unique to Laguna Beach.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">There is no beginning or ending point of Art Walk, move around town at your own pace. The event is free to the public and so is the trolley service. Hop on the trolley and enjoy each gallery district with its abundance of art and personality.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">This month Art Walk has collaborated with the Laguna Dance Festival and will be featuring specially choreographed works.  “This past year the Art Walk board has focused on ways to expand its collaboration with other organizations to create an active culture experience for our patrons,” said First Thursdays Art Walk president Rebecca Barber.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">This exciting addition to the evening will include a duet choreographed by Donald McKayle at Dawson Cole Fine Art in the sculpture garden at 6 p.m.; and two choreographers create solos that reflect the current exhibit at saltfineart at 6:15 p.m. with an encore performance at 6:30 p.m.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">At any gallery, pick up an Art Walk brochure that includes a map and a complete schedule of the evening’s special events. See artists in action and watch their creative process when visiting them at many galleries demonstrating their techniques and sharing their insights. Ask questions and engage the artists.  Some artists demonstrating will be Katy Byerts at Quorum Art Gallery; Shane Townley at Townley Gallery; and David Chapple at DeRu’s Fine Arts.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Marion Meyer Contemporary Art is featuring local sculptor Jon Seeman, a solo exhibit, “Captured Motion.” The exhibit features Seeman’s most recent wall sculptures with an artist reception during Art Walk. The show will run through Oct. 30.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Seeman’s standing sculptures in stainless steel, painted steel or in natural museum patina create an intriguing and dynamic dialogue; some of the kinetic pieces especially challenge the viewer to spend time, invited to connect with the energy and harmony expressed by the artist in the installation of these meticulously perfected sculptural works, said Meyer.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The gallery owner continues to follow her integrity to bring multi-cultural, engaging, educating art exhibits to MMCA, while sustaining her passion for bringing quality art and exhibits that are exciting and create a dialogue.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/StarCraft.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Laguna College of Art &amp; Design is featuring Star Craft II® Wings of Liberty by</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Blizzard Entertainment® with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The Blizzard exhibit features colossal space faring vessels, swarms of ravenous alien monstrosities, and armies of noble golden warriors and massive machines: you will likely encounter all of these elements when you delve into the art of StarCraft. But amid all the war and turmoil, there is still beauty in the art of StarCraft: the arcing golden ellipses of the magnificent protoss mothership; the deadly beauty of Kerrigan, the infamous Queen of Blades; and the majestic crimson fire clouds of a terran nuclear strike. See, even a mushroom cloud can have a silver lining.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/SilverBlueGoldHaffner.jpg" border="0" style="float: right; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" />Silver Blue &amp; Gold will feature Italian Master Silversmith Davide Bigazzi and will introduce Andrea Haffner with a preview and artist reception during Art Walk. And on Oct. 8 from 2 to 6 p.m. the gallery will feature a trunk show and   unveil Bigazzi’s Lastre Nero Collection, along with artist demonstrations.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/BigazziLastNero.jpg" border="0" style="float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" />The new Lastre Nero collection is a complete line of cuffs, earrings and necklaces in sterling silver and 18 karat gold with black and white diamonds. Here, the structured lines of modern Italian couture rendezvous with ancient elegance. Other acclaimed collections such as Anelli, Eclipse and Laurel will also be on display, selections of which are available year-round at Silver Blue &amp; Gold.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Haffner specializes in handcrafted wall hangings and jewelry in resin. The medium allows Haffner to work with transparent dyes that glow from within as light reflects against both the sculptural pieces and jewelry.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">JoAnne Artman Gallery will feature an opening reception for “Cinéma Vérité,” featuring San Francisco painter Jhina Alvarado and Los Angeles photographer Brooke Shaden.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/Artman-Gallery-Alvarado.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong>Jhina Alvarado</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 10.0px Arial;"><strong>“Taking a Stroll”</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 9.0px Arial;"><strong>Oil &amp; Encaustic Wax, 30” x 40.”</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">In Alvarado’s “Forgotten Memories,” the artist uses oil paints to depict the untold stories from long forgotten photographs. The identity of the person within each memory is inconsequential, and the eyes are blocked out so that the viewer can take part of each memory as if it were their own.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">The photographer’s use of the square format, heavy texture work, and hands on staging production create a painterly aesthetic that redefines the boundaries of photography and the art of storytelling.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“These artists will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize. With visual perceptions always changing, peek behind the stories told and you’re sure to find the right artistic expression,” said Artman.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">Green Cube Gallery will be presenting Karen Feuer-Schwager’s unique Paintings and sculpture created out of tea bag paper throughout the month of October with an artist reception during Art Walk.  Feuer-Schwager is a widely exhibited multi-media international artist and long time Laguna Beach resident.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/GreenCubeLoopy.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><strong><em>Karen Feuer-Schwager’s “Loopy,” part of her unique paintings and sculpture created out of tea bag paper, featured at Green Cube Gallery</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 27.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">“First of all, I find the reuse of old discarded stuff exciting. It is infused with history. I am also especially attracted to the quality of used tea bag paper; it is crinkly, delicate, translucent and has an origami like imprinted patina,” Feuer-Schwager said. “It’s really fun and challenging to work with.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px;"><img src="/images/stories/editorial/oct4/Zayas-LA-River.jpg" border="0" /></p>
