While today may be pumpkin spice and everything nice, the elves at The Barn Redefined, previously known as Poway Countryside Barn, are getting ready for the holiday season, with their popular Christmas at the Barn shopping event, themed “The 12 Days of Christmas”. A wonderful place for holiday decorating ideas; one of the most anticipated features of the event is their themed Christmas trees. This year, they have twenty-six! Themes include “Under the Stars” (camping/outdoor tree), “To All a Goodnight” (black, white, green, dark blue), “Enchanted Forest” (mossy, feathers, reds), “Classic Christmas” (red velvet, classic Santa, mistletoe), “Chrismukkah” (deep blue, gold, silver), and “Mrs. Clause’s Bake Shop (reds, light blues),” to name a few. The event provides lots of holiday photo opportunities, as the exterior will be a giant gingerbread house, and a large vintage trailer will become a “Candy Shop.” This year, they will be collecting new toys, arts & crafts and hygiene products for kids of all ages for Anvil of Hope, a non-profit focused on helping low-income families, those facing homelessness and temporary hardship. Everyone who donates will receive a paper gingerbread man with their name on it to hang on a dedicated wall. New this year is a gift-wrapping section with supplies available for purchase.

“to hold, as’ twere, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.” - William Shakespeare, Hamlet LOS/NR is thrilled to present the latest major work by the pioneering American video and installation artist Frank Gillette (b. 1941, Jersey City, NY). Gillette is the recipient of fellowships from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation, as well as grants from the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Interested in the empirical observation of natural phenomena, his early work integrated the viewer's image with prerecorded information. He has been described as a pioneer in video research with an almost scientific attention for taxonomies and descriptions of ecological systems and environments. Gillette’s seminal work Wipe Cycle (co-produced with Ira Schneider in 1968) is considered as one of the first video installations in art history. The Symbiotic Blues is the world premier of Gillette's 9-channel video study of woodland and beach of eastern Long Island. It consists of three video triptychs (Riverrun, Spearlight, and Blackseer) exploring the ways in which we experience the natural world. In nine endless loops, Gillette returns to a subject he has been drawn to for over fifty years; the relationship between the natural world and the ways in which we experience it over time. He achieves this through a complex engagement with classic genres: still-life, landscape, and symbolic abstraction combined with soundtracks mixing natural and electronic sounds. Though the artist was among the first to use television as an artistic medium, his video work has remained rooted in an approach stemming from his early training as an abstract painter. In the artist’s words, “...each triptych combines aesthetic judgment with the forces which shape nature’s boundaries.” This exhibition is organized by David A. Ross, the former Director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 1972, Ross was appointed as the world’s first curator of Video Art at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY. His first exhibition of Frank Gillette’s work occurred in 1973. An illustrated brochure with an essay by the noted philosopher, naturalist and musician Dr. David Rothenberg will be available for the show. There will be an opening reception with free flowers and ice creams (while supplies last) on Thursday, October 24, from 6-8 p.m. Be advised, timed entry might be required during the event. The exhibition will run from October 24 until December 5, 2024. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Visit: https://www.losnotrequired.com/gillette
