A political update from Erie, Pa., which has been pivotal to, and a bellwether of, presidential election outcomes.

Nineteenth-century artists were enamored with polar regions and viewed these extreme locales as unparalleled sources of visual wonder. Freighted with romantic ideas about the sublime and scientific debates about geological time, frozen places factored into the representational interests of many leading American painters like Frederic Edwin Church, whose classic investigation After Icebergs with a Painter (1856) lends this exhibition a title. As part of the Humanities Center’s multiyear inquiry into landscapes and human meaning, "After Icebergs: Conceptual Photography and Climate Crisis" looks at the persistence of creative fascination with ice during an era when glacial melt and accompanying species extinction are urgent concerns. "After Icebergs" will feature photographic works by Mark Dion and Farrah Karapetian, whose photographs suggest the varied approaches to this subject. Dion is a conceptual and installation-based artist whose ongoing project, Ursus Maritimus (begun 1994), documents the often uncanny framing of polar bears in museum dioramas, even as the species itself disappears from its primary habitat. Karapetian is an artist and writer whose series "Slips and Pushes" (2013–2015) deploys melting ice as both a formal element and as a metaphor for, among other things, forced migration due to climate change. Karapetian’s color photograms, cameraless images, are eerily luminous while Dion’s blunt black-and-white documentation prompts questions about the purposes of museum displays. A rare selection of works from "Ursus Maritimus" and "Slips and Pushes" make up the installation at the Humanities Center Gallery. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information visit: sandiego.edu

When asked what he’d play for First Sunday Concerts he said, “Personally I’d love to do a program of early jazz and ragtime. I’ve worked up a lot of Jelly Roll Morton music on piano and guitar, as well as music from guitarists like Johnny St. Cyr and composers like Scott Joplin. Some of the Jelly Roll Morton tunes I play were composed while he lived and worked in Tijuana/San Diego in the early 20th century, so there’s a lot of fun history to share with that music.” A fifth-generation Kentuckian, Clinton Davis grew up in rural Carroll County. His repertoire spans fiddle and banjo music native to his family home, the exuberant ragtime piano and guitar of early 20th-century New Orleans and ballad songs and dance music of the Southwest. Davis’ prowess across instruments and traditional American styles has gained notice from the standard-bearers of previous generations and earned him a place amongst a new generation of American folk musicians. He has worked closely with roots guitar legends Jim Kweskin and Stefan Grossman, and is an official artist for Deering Banjos. In 2022, Davis received the commission of Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his work as a performer and educator. The Colonelcy is the highest civilian honor bestowed by the commonwealth of Kentucky. For more information visit: encinitaslibfriends.org
