  • Theater of Ideas: Artist JR TED Talks, “Can Art Change the World?”

    The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United States

    The LAVA Center shares two provocative and inspiring TED Talks from the artist JR at the next Theater of Ideas, Friday, April 17. Doors open at 5 p.m. for gallery viewing. At 6:30 p.m., the screenings begin, followed by audience discussion and who knows? Maybe more world-changing ideas will hatch in those moments. JR began his career on the streets of Paris as a graffiti artist, leaving his mark on rooftops and subway cars. When he found a camera he began documenting his adventures, and taking pictures of his friends in Les Bosquets, a housing project in the Paris suburbs. He pasted photocopies on outside wall spaces and pasted frames around the images, creating an open-air gallery. His work celebrates the marginalized and invisible through portrait photography enlarged to cover entire buildings, neighborhoods and even whole towns. “In the street,” he is quoted as saying, “we reach people who never go to museums.” In 2011 he won the $100,000 TED Prize, and used the money to launch “Inside Out Project,” facilitating thousands of people around the world exploring his method, documenting their communities through oversized portraits pasted on public walls. During the course of his career so far, he has…

  • Historical Society of Greenfield film screenings

    The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United States

    LAVA and the Historical Society of Greenfield team up to present HSG film screenings “Greenfield’s Winter Carnival, 1923” and “Love’s Young Dream,” with a talkback session to follow with HSG’s Chris Clawson and Carol Aleman. In March of 2024, local history fans and researchers Chris Clawson and Carol Aleman discovered a Pathé News newsreel from just over a hundred years ago. As Clawson recounts it, the forgotten reel from 1923, along with another from a year later, sat on a Historical Society of Greenfield shelf when they suddenly caught his attention. He and Aleman set about researching and restoring the films. “Greenfield’s Winter Carnival, 1923” is a 9-minute film documenting the first Winter Carnival. “Love’s Young Dream” is a one-act comedy-drama which was produced at the old Victoria (later Showplace) Theater on Chapman Street in June 1924, and features local Greenfield actors. Bridging the two films is a short documentary detailing the Historical Society’s discovery, what Chris Clawson and Carol Aleman learned about the films’ creation, and how they produced a modern presentation that was initially screened at the Garden Cinemas in 2024. Each film includes a virtual orchestra accompaniment of silent screen music produced specifically for Vintage Days. Clawson…
