âJOHN DILG: NATURAL RE-VISIONSâ AT LUISE ROSS IN NYC MARCH 1

avv/gs set 2-8 #687775

NEW YORK CITY â Luise Ross Gallery will present the exhibition âJohn Dilg: Natural Re-visionsâ on view March 1âApril 14.

With a unique and idiosyncratic approach, John Dilg investigates the unnatural sources of natural memories in this third exhibition of paintings at the gallery. Through an economy of formal means, Dilg brings personal markers and emblems to life in his small-scale yet potent paintings.

By distilling personal experiences and memories, Dilg transports the viewer to moments of contemplative quietude, whose importance is both immediately apparent and ambiguous. These paintings balance the simplistic and the complex, the passive voice and active assertion, as they venture forth from the artistâs imagination. The built-up surface of these small canvases further emphasize the unnatural artifice of memory, symbolizing perhaps the layered contrivance of our recollection of past events.

The exhibitionâs title, âNatural Re-visions,â holds a double-meaning. These paintings, for Dilg, both revise and reconstruct memory, as they present unnatural accounts of purportedly natural events, places, persons and experiences.

The gallery is at 511 West 25th Street, #307. For more information, 212-343-2161 or www.luiserossgallery.com.

Half right. The other half wrong (and left).

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
