My Afternoons with Margueritte at Little Art
See the delightful French film MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITTE, starring Gérard Depardieu and Gisèle Casadesus at Little Art Theatre this week.
Depardieu plays Germain, a nearly illiterate man in his 50's considered to be the village idiot, who takes a walk to the park one day and happens to sit beside Margueritte (Casadesus), a little old lady who is reading excerpts from her novel aloud. Afternoons spent reading aloud on their favorite bench transform their lives and start them both on a new journey. "The larger-than-life actor [Depardieu] is as emblematic of his country as Tom Hanks is of ours, and My Afternoons With Margueritte is his Forrest Gump. Only better," raves the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "French feel-good filmmaking to the max," writes Variety.

Exhibition and workshop by Nikki McClure
Antioch College will host a solo exhibition by paper crafter Nikki McClure beginning Friday, December 2, in the College’s Herndon Gallery. An opening reception featuring an artist talk will be held from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. An artist workshop, presented in collaboration with the Writing Institute, will follow on Saturday, December 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Workshop seating is limited and participants are required to register in advance by e-mailing Sara Black at sblack@antiochcollege.org.
The exhibition, Nikki McClure: Cutting Her Own Path, 1996-2011, premiered this fall at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon. Cutting Her Own Path showcases McClure’s unique papercut artwork alongside her popular and better-known calendars, books, and other recent projects.
Based in Olympia, Washington, McClure has spent fifteen years creating compelling narratives by cutting into black paper with an X-Acto knife. Her delicate and sculptural “carved paintings” connect personal experiences to collective memory through a celebration of current and traditional models of self-sufficiency, resourcefulness and participation in community.
She created her first papercut for a self-published book, Apple (1996), and produced her first hand-bound calendar in 1998. Her iconic style of papercut has resonated with a diverse audience and has been featured on snowboards, Patagonia t-shirts, record covers, magazine illustrations, greeting cards, movies, tote bags, Microsoft advertisements, non-profit logos, strangers’ tattoos and even the storm drains in Olympia, Washington.
Nikki McClure: Cutting Her Own Path, 1996-2011 can be viewed 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday through February 15 in the Herndon Gallery on the Antioch College campus.
For more information about the exhibition, contact Sara Black at sblack@antiochollege.org.

on Veteran's Day, November 11
“Liars Club” Comic Book Exhibit Features Greene County World War II Veterans
The comic introduces us to a group of vibrant WWII veterans who meet daily for breakfast with tales to tell at a Xenia, Ohio, McDonalds restaurant. Widowers, and almost all in their 90′s, the three “Liars’ Club” veterans have been spending mornings together for about eight years. They joke that maybe 15 percent of their stories are the truth. But Charlie Bath, Earl Ellis, and Jack Newhouse have poignant lessons to share about love, life and liberty.
For more information about the exhibit or to schedule a private viewing, contact the artist at 937-767-7955 or mfleishman@woh.rr.com.

A very successful Community Thanksgiving!!
Thanks to all the volunteers behind-the-scenes and in front for making the Yellow Springs Community Thanksgiving 2011 such a huge success! We had plenty of turkey, side dishes, coffee, lemonade, and seating for all. Thanks especially to those who volunteered to cook the turkeys!
I've enjoyed attending this wonderful meal in the past and this year I wanted to be part of the crew. It's a fun crew to work with and it changes every year. Everyone is pleasant and we solved lots of little mini-problems without any panic. The afternoon goes super-dooper fast. Before you know it, you're folding up the chairs and putting clean cups away in the cupboard.
This event is made possible by many, many hands and it won't happen next year without your help. We need:
* Turkey cooks
* Coordinators for publicity and facilities
* Help with set up, serving, clean up
If you are willing to help, please e-mail YSIC@earthlink.net

Special Thanksgiving Documentary Screening
Thursday, November 24 - 7 p.m.
Free Admission – Donations Welcome
In FORCE OF NATURE, 74 year-old David Suzuki looks back on his life in a heart-felt distillation of his life's work, which offers up a blueprint for sustainability and survival.
Documentary. 93 minutes. Directed by Sturla Gunnarsson.
In Canada, David Suzuki is pretty much an icon: a household name synonymous with nature and science, best known as the host of the long-running CBC TV show “The Nature of Things” and as a pioneering and passionate environmentalist. Although he is a tad less well known here south of the border, he may be the most inspiring, charming, eloquent, compelling voice for environmental sanity in the world today. At the age of 75, he shows no signs of slowing down. This engrossing documentary guides us through his life and reveals the key events and people that shaped him. Director Sturla Gunnarsson interweaves Suzuki’s stirring and insightful address with candid interviews to create a captivating portrait of a man whose essential decency speaks volumes about the beauty of the planet he’s trying so hard to save.

Workshop: Create a Pure Silver Domed Pendant
Artistic Jewelry Workshop with Fine Silver Clay
a Step-by-Step Project for Beginners:
Create a Pure Silver Domed Pendant
Springs Gallery in Yellow Springs, Ohio, is offering a one-day jewelry workshop titled “Create a Pure Silver Domed Pendant,” on Saturday, December 3, 2011, from Noon to 4 PM. All levels are welcome. For questions or to register, visit Springs Gallery at 220 Xenia Avenue, Yellow Springs, OH, 45387, or the gallery site: www.springsgallery.blogspot.com, call 937-409-5047, or email springsgallery@earthlink.net, and on Facebook.
The workshop will be led by Trish Jeffers-Zeh, a Waynesville, Ohio, artist who has been creating and teaching in fine silver clay for 30 years. Jeffers-Zeh’s unique jewelry is represented by a number of local galleries, including Springs Gallery in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Trish Jeffers-Zeh will share her knowledge of this exciting and versatile medium. Students will create a simple, domed pendant using stamps and molds for textural designs. The material fires with a torch or in a kiln for 30 minutes, so students can take home their creation the same day.
The workshop fee is $50, payable with advance registration. A separate material and supply fee of $40 is payable to the instructor at the class. This fee includes 10 grams of silver clay, use of tools, use of silver syringe and paste, and supplies for firing and finishing. Everything is provided to complete the pendant; all you need to do is add a chain. Additional clay, stones, leather cords and supplies will be available for purchase in class. Bring magnifying glasses if you need them to see small detail work.
Registrations for the workshop are now being accepted. Forms are available in Springs Gallery and on the gallery site. Minimum participant age is 12. Minimum class size is 6. On the day of the class, students must present a paid receipt to participate. The deadline for cancellations with refund is Sunday, November 27.

What's up at the hardware store?
It's more challenging than you would think...maneuvering around a progressively tighter space without knocking something over...figuring out how and when to add certain elements that become more difficult to add or change as the process continues...incorporating items supplied by Kathy, the owner of the hardware store, along with some items of my own...the motivation to do this "on a dime" and use recycled and repurposed items...jumping up and down on a ledge all day and then running around outside to peek in through a peephole and aesthetically assess the placement of a particular item, etc.
There has been talk of turning this into a coordinated village event with participating stores and individuals, comparable to the hugely successful Yelloween Scarecrow Project. Just another creative way to bring people to our town and stimulate our economy while adding art in places you wouldn't typically expect.

THIS DISCOUNT WILL STACK WITH ANY OTHER DISCOUNTS FOR WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY ELIGIBLE!! WE NEVER STACK DISCOUNTS - THIS MAY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE! Please remember the small businesses that are endeavoring to create their own niche in this oppressive climate - and when you find yourself thinking about which stores you plan to frequent this season, remember OCCUPY SUPER-FLY!!

Two free documentaries this week at Little Art
The Ister
Tuesday, November 22 - 6 p.m.
Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Antioch College, Lewis Trelawny-Cassity has assigned a screening of THE ISTER as part of his Global Seminar on water. The public is invited to attend the screening for free and to participate in a discussion following the film.
Documentary. 189 minutes. There will be an INTERMISSION halfway through. Not Rated. 2005.
In 1942, at the height of World War II, Martin Heidegger, the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century, delivered a series of lectures on The Ister, Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem about the Danube River.
Heidegger had achieved worldwide fame in 1927 for his philosophical magnum opus, Being and Time. In 1933, Heidegger embraced the National Socialist ‘revolution,’ becoming rector of Freiburg University. His inaugural address culminated in “Heil Hitler!” After clashing with the Nazi bureaucracy, however, he resigned the rectorate in 1934.
Eight years later, as the tide of the war was turning against Germany, Heidegger spent the summer semester lecturing on the poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin. His lectures directly addressed the political, cultural and military chaos facing Germany and the world in 1942.
THE ISTER takes up some of the most challenging paths in Heidegger’s thought, as we journey from the mouth of the Danube River in Romania to its source in the Black Forest. However controversial Heidegger remains, his thought remains alive in the work of some of the most remarkable thinkers and artists working today, four of whom discuss the contemporary social relevance of Heidegger, including Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, and filmmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.
THE ISTER invites the viewer to participate in some of the most provocative questions facing Europe and the world today.
