An in-depth look at the upcoming ACP exhibit. PAGE 2

By ERICA CHAYESThe Sun

The EnergySmart HomesCampaign, supported by Sus-tainable Princeton, launchedback in October 2013 and soughtto implement energy-efficientaction among Princeton resi-dents. The organization’s ener-gy committee, made up of Sus-tainable Princeton staff, resi-dents and volunteers, is launch-ing the next step in the cam-paign that will now target com-mercial properties aroundPrinceton. The town was one ofthree municipalities to receive a$35,000 grant for the new initia-tive, the EnergySmart BuildingCampaign.

“We’re now focusing on com-mercial properties – movingfrom homes to businesses,” saidChristine Symington, directorof the non-profit organizationSustainable Princeton. “This isan important move because inNew Jersey, 26 percent of ener-gy is consumed by commercialproperties. Our goal in Prince-ton is to reduce energy con-

sumption of fossil fuels by 20percent by 2020.”

To do this, Symington ex-plained, it is necessary to focuson the environment: first resi-dential, then commercial and fi-nally industrial properties.With the launch of the newcampaign, the town is well onits way to affecting positivechange, especially since indus-trial properties are not very in-volved. Many of the homes thatwere audited for the campaignhave reduced and continue toreduce energy use by 25 per-cent.

Currently, about 300 build-ings have been documented as“commercial.” SustainablePrinceton is working to gaugewhich of these needs to be fo-cused on to make the most im-pact. Many of these “commer-cial” buildings serve huge pur-poses for the community, suchas the municipal building,Princeton Public Library andMcCarter Theatre.

One of Sustainable PrincetonExecutive Director Diane Landis’favorite events is the Great IdeasBreakfast. Hosted at the Prince-ton Public Library sporadicallythroughout the year, the upcom-ing jam for locals and the envi-ronmentally savvy is scheduledfor Thursday, Jan. 22. The topic ofdiscussion to get the wheels turn-ing in the New Year will be,“What makes a sustainable com-munity?”

“The Great Ideas Breakfast isthe kind of thing that provides anoutlet for people to lay it [theirplans, reflections and, of course,ideas] out there. It’s like a NewYear’s resolution for sustainableliving,” Landis said.

The conversation unfolds from8:30 to 10 a.m. in the CommunityRoom of the library. Rather thanaccepting donations of food,caterers are always hired. Landisfeels it is crucial to support thelocal economy and reaches out tovarious food spots to provide azero waste, fair trade breakfast.

2 THE PRINCETON SUN — JAN. 7–13, 2015


Sometimes, the thrill of walk-ing through a gallery comes frompondering the meaning, story orfeeling of whatstands within thework. The ArtsCouncil of Prince-ton, in its most re-cent exhibition toopen Saturday, Jan.17, has chosen a se-ries of unconven-tional portraits bylocal artists thataim to evoke thisrousing thoughtprocess. The ques-tion posed – “whatis the bigger picturebehind these paint-ings?” – is aptly stat-ed in the exhibit’stitle: “The BiggerPicture.”

The collection,curated by MariaEvans, will featurepieces by Elise Dodeles, JamesDoherty, Kim Alsbrooks andMary DeWitt. Whether the artistsare inspired by the stories oftheir subjects or simply by aes-thetics, they all possess a uniqueapproach that adds somethingextra to the “big picture.”

Doherty, of Lawrenceville,whose pieces are usually, in fact,big, uses a wide variety of medi-ums and organic canvases topaint figures of typically delicatewomen.

“I paint on allkinds of things:church doors, draw-ers, trays; whateverI can find. The big-ger the better,” Do-herty said – his av-erage piece beingabout 40 by 50 inch-es and sometimesgetting up to 5 by 7feet. “The cus-tomers enjoy thefull lens.”

Doherty oftenchooses his subjectsfrom photographs of18th to 19th centurywomen taken in the1940s and 50s. Manyof the photos areblack and white andleave Doherty to cre-ate color or light,

though sometimes he will paint amonochromatic figure.

“It’s amazing what thesewomen can do as far as posing.They’re born into it,” Dohertysaid.

Doherty studied at the Pennsyl-vania Academy of Fine Arts and

continues to study with an inter-esting teacher whenever he can.He said the academy’s great figu-rative painters have influencedhis pull to drawing female fig-ures.

Doherty can also be noted forhis environmentally savvy use ofproducts. In addition to the or-ganic canvases he picks up at fleamarkets or construction sites, Do-herty builds all his own framesfrom scratch with no store-bought products. He also neverlimits himself to a single medi-um.

“Spray paint, pencil, cold waxfor texture, hot wax, oils – I proba-bly misuse every product,” Do-herty said humorously about hiswork.

Alsbrooks, a Charleston, S.C.,native who now resides in SouthPhiladelphia, also utilizes a recy-clable medium to paint her por-traits of elite 17th to 18th centurywhite people. The subjects, whoare traditionally seen in the wa-tercolor on ivory era of painting,are reimagined with graphite, oiland varnish on Alsbrooks’ non-traditional canvases: smashedtrash.

“I began doing these portraits10 years ago when I was living inthe South and became frustratedwith the culture down there, par-ticularly the prevailing ideologies

and class distinction,” Alsbrookssaid. “The response and inspira-tion came from that.”

Since 2014, Alsbrooks hassought out old cans with labelsfrom Budweiser to Steel Reservethat have been flattened on thestreet. If she finds a keeper withno wrinkles in the middle and a

well-centered graphic, Alsbrooksthen chooses to paint a portraitthat will complement the can.

Alsbrooks said she is glad to beincluded in the exhibit with theother great artists. The ACP showis significant because Alsbrooks

and anecdotes for their pieces in ACP’s upcoming exhibit

Special to The SunFigure painter Jim Doherty of Lawrenceville poses beside one of hispieces to be featured in the Arts Council of Princeton’s upcoming ex-hibit, ‘The Bigger Picture.’ At left is one of artist Kim Alsbrooks’pieces from the series, ‘My White Trash Family,’ also to be displayedat the exhibit.

On Sunday, Jan. 11 at 4:30 p.m.,The Princeton Symphony Or-chestra Chamber Series presentsSpanish Winds showcasing theVentart-OSPA wind ensemblefrom PSO Music Director RossenMilanov’s orchestra in Oviedo,Spain, Orquesta Sinfónica delPrincipado de Asturias (OSPA).The concert highlights thesounds of Spain through worksby Granados, Albéniz, Medaglia,and Piazzolla. Pieces by ClaudeDebussy and Paul Hindemithcomplete the program. The con-cert will be held at Wolfensohn

Hall at the Institute for AdvancedStudy which partners with thePSO to present this chambermusic series.

The members of the Ventart-OSPA wind quintent include MyraPearse, flute; Juan Ferriol, oboe;Andreas Weisgerber, clarinet; Vi-cente Mascarell, bassoon; and JoséLuis Morató, horn. Milanov hasled OSPA as music director since2012. He loves Spain, its culture, itspeople, and its food, and it is hispleasure to bring the flavors ofSpain to Princeton. Thanks totravel support from the Maria

Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foun-dation of Spain, the Ventart-OSPAquintet is able to serve as ambas-sadors on tour to Princeton, NewYork City, and Philadelphia.

Milanov describes “SpanishWinds” as “reflective of the vitali-ty and uniqueness of Spain as un-derstood by both Spanish and for-eign composers, as well as the in-fluence of Spanish speaking cul-tures on music history.” EnriqueGranados’ “Andaluza (Danzas Es-pañolas)” and Isaac Albéniz’“Cadiz and Sevilla” from “SuiteEspañola” represent idiomatic

Spanish rhythms and are infusedwith authentic rhythms of theFlamenco dance. Another dance,the Tango, inspires JúlioMedaglia’s “Belle Epoque en Sud-America” and Astor Piazzolla’s“Adios Nonino.” Influenced by asingle excursion to Spain, ClaudeDebussy captures the exoticessence of Spanish music in his“Suite No. 1,” and Paul Hin-demith’s “Kleine Kammermusik”is one of the most importantworks in the repertoire for windensemble.

To introduce Spanish Winds

and talk about his work inOviedo, Spain, Milanov is speak-ing at the PSO Soundtracks“Meet ‘n’ Greet Rossen Milanov”on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at 4 p.m .atthe Princeton Public Library. Del-icacies of Spain will be offered,compliments of Despaña TapasCafé, Princeton. Both the concertand the library presentation arefree, and open to the public.

Ticketed reservations are nec-essary for the free concert, andare available at princetonsym-phony.org and by phone, (609) 497-0020. Limit two per household.

perts in law, religious ethics andmilitary policy; share insightsfrom their various faith tradi-tions as a means to reflect on theissue and guide the conversation;and work to develop policy recom-mendations to the U.S. govern-ment. The conference will alsomake recommendations to the re-ligious community on how itshould respond to the issue oflethal drones at the local, regionaland national levels. The confer-ence is facilitated by the Prince-ton-based Peace Action Educa-tion Fund.

The governing body will have anotherfull agenda for 2015. We kicked off the NewYear on Monday, Jan. 5 at 5 p.m. with ourannual reorganization meeting. BernieMiller and Jo Butler were both be sworn infor their new terms. I gave the annualmayor's address, and councilmembers alsohad the opportunity to reflect on 2014 andpreview 2015. The next evening, Jan. 6 at 6p.m., council met again to set out goals andpriorities for 2015.

Parking will likely be at the top of theagenda in the year ahead. Deanna Stocktonin engineering has been investigating op-tions for a much-needed technology up-grade at the Spring Street garage. Thecouncil will also be reviewing our parkingordinances as part of the harmonizationreview required by consolidation. Parkingin and around the central business districtwill always be in high demand, and this isan opportunity to make sure we have a sys-tem that maintains quality of life for ourresidents and neighborhoods while meet-ing the needs of businesses and providinga welcoming experience for visitors.

The council andI will continue ourefforts to be a moreenvironmentallysustainable com-munity by improv-ing our biking andpedestrian infra-structure and en-suring proper in-vestment in themaintenance ofour existing openspace lands. TheRecreation De-partment is plan-ning a major reno-vation of theMary Moss Parkon John Street, made possible by a majorgrant from the county. We will also be con-sidering the installation of a solar array ontop of the old landfill at River Road. In co-operation with Sustainable Princeton, wewill be working to improve recycling alongNassau Street and throughout the Central

Business District, as well as promotingreuse via a town wide garage sale in thespring.

Toward the end of 2014, we establishedan Affordable Housing Task Force to re-view unused and underused municipalproperties with an eye toward their possi-ble conversion into affordable housing. Weknow that the wait lists for existing afford-able housing units are hundreds of fami-lies long, many of them current Princetonresidents hoping to stay in town, and oth-ers with deep historic ties here who arehoping to return. The task force will con-tinue its important work this year in help-ing to find ways to enhance our communi-ty's affordability and economic diversity.

Consolidation has enabled the munici-pality to lower costs and find efficiencies.In 2015, we will be taking a closer look atthe other side of the ledger and redoublingefforts to increase revenues. Princeton isfortunate to have a healthy business com-munity and a relatively low commercial

Princeton plans a full agenda for coming year

Liz LempertMAYOR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to 2015! Anotheryear has come and gone, inseemingly speed-of-light

fashion. Out with the old, in with thenew, as they say.

Last week, in our last issue of 2014,we closed the door on the year with aYear in Review.

The end of a year is a chance for usto reflect on all that has happened overthe last 12 months. It can be a sad time,a happy time and a quizzical time all atonce.

But the end also brings a new begin-ning. With 2015 officially here, let’s allresolve to make our lives, to make thelives of those around us, better. Let’s bea little more caring, a little more un-

selfish, a little more polite. Let’s work harder and smarter, in-

stead of longer. Let’s give a little more to those who

aren’t as fortunate as we are. Let’slearn from the mistakes of our past,and make our future bigger andbrighter.

Here at The Sun, we resolve to servethe community even better than we

have. We resolve to be a better community

business partner, be better reportersand provide an even better product forour clients.

We resolve to improve the qualityand quantity of our content. We re-solve to listen with open ears to yourthoughts, ideas and concerns.

To that end, we’d love to hear fromyou on how we’re doing, and what youthink we could be doing better. Pleaseshare your thoughts via e-mail [email protected].

Help make our New Year’s resolu-tions a reality by playing a part inyour paper.

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!

in our opinion

Happy New Year!Here’s to a safe, happy, healthy and wonderful 2015

tween six and eight people tospeak at every event. Each person– some business owners, munici-pal representatives, school repre-sentatives and residents – is givenabout three minutes to take thestand. At the Jan. 22 breakfast,speakers will relate their visionof a sustainable community tothe attendees.

“We always get to hear whatpeople are passionate about,”Landis said excitedly. “Everyonehas different thoughts and opin-ions – ‘Why do we still have Styro-foam cups at this restaurant?Why don’t we build a gardenhere?’ It’s wonderful to listen.”

Landis also emphasized the sig-nificance of creating a “collectiveimpact.” Often, these breakfastsfacilitate new projects and helpindividuals with similar ideas towork together, take action and“get moving.” Perhaps more than

one person – Landis provided anexample – wants to ban plasticbags; now there is a group withthe same goal.

Though talks are only given forthree minutes, Landis feels thatwords are truly spoken from theheart: “It evolves into story-telling. You hear someone’s storyand you think of your children orsee yourself and it makes thetopic more accessible.”

Last year, Leslie Berger, execu-tive director of the PrincetonPublic Library, was a guest speak-er. She vocalized her discomfortwith the “rather unsightly”power station that remains adja-cent to the library. For some time,the station’s overpowering visi-bility affected Berger, and she hadcrafted the idea – the dream – toturn it into a community theater.

After the series of public talks,the crowd has time to mingle.This, Landis said, provides theopportunity for discussion andoften spreads seed to plans thatend up benefiting the communityin its march toward environmen-tal consciousness.

thinks it will be the last whereshe displays her can paintings.After 10 years of producing simi-lar works, Alsbrooks said shewants to develop other tech-niques and paint other things.

DeWitt, another Philadelphiaartist, has been painting portraitsand recording the voices of incar-cerated women since the late1980s. She has focused her workon a select group of people, mostof whom are serving life-sen-tences without parole in Pennsyl-vania. Recently, DeWitt begantaking still photographs of herworks as they progressed. Shethen creates a video of the stillswith her subject’s voice narrat-ing.

DeWitt’s videos, according abio released by the ACP, “docu-ment the radical change in pris-ons from the 1970s to today.” Theportraits and videos to be dis-played in “The Bigger Picture” in-clude subjects Avis Lee, Cyd Berg-er, Laura Kittle and Kennetta An-drews.

Lee’s six and a half-minutevideo portrays a close up portraitof her face being painted overtime – beginning with a simpleoutline and the story of hercrime. Lee, now 53, describes thenight she agreed at age 18 to be onwatch and whistle while herbrother committed armed rob-

bery; the crime went awry and re-sulted in the victim being shot.Twelve years ago, Lee wastrained and certified in brailleand has transcribed for the blindsince. The video concludes withthe final portrait of Lee, a typedsummary of hercrime, exempla-ry behavior and life-sentencewithout parole. DeWitt plays thesong “A Change Gonna Come” bySam Cooke and lists Lee’s contactinformation at the CambridgeSprings Prison.

Another contributing artist to“The Bigger Picture” is Dodelesof Lambertville, whose layeredoil portraits have also includedthe sullen faces captured in mugshots.

“The mug shots are great im-ages,” Dodeles said. “Ya know,they’re so vulnerable. The one ofthe woman dated back to 1906 hassomewhat of a black eye. It makesyou wonder, ‘what happened,what’s the bigger picture?’”

Dodeles chooses her subjectsbased on both their story and aes-thetic. With access to many pho-tos and archives – Dodeles is alsoa librarian in special collectionsat Princeton University and hasworked in restoration at RiderUniversity – the artist has devel-oped an infatuation with oldblack and white photographs.

One of her men from the“Fighter” series was selectedsolely for a “visual response,” Do-deles said. Another series in-spired by a book Dodeles read

that mentioned a French hospitalwhere doctors documented fe-male patients by photographingthem and naming their condi-tions, was based on her curiosity.

“My work is a way for me to re-ally personalize the experience of

the subjects inthese photo-

graphs. The feeling I get when Ihandle them is hard to describe. Iwanted to take that feeling intomy artwork and demonstrate aspecial connection,” Dodeles said.“When I start painting, I want toevoke a supercharge emotion sopeople can’t just forget the peoplein the photographs. That’s power-ful.”

The artists will be hosting twogallery talks in the Taplin Galleryat the Paul Robeson Center forthe Arts. Dewitt and Alsbrooksare scheduled to speak Saturday,Feb. 7 at 1 p.m., and Doherty andDodeles are scheduled to speakSaturday, Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. Formore information about “TheBigger Picture,” on view fromJan. 7 through March 14, visitwww.artscouncilofprinceton.org.

properties and identify what wecan do to help the programs andbusinesses reduce energy use,”Symington said. “We aim to edu-cate about the various opportuni-ties and financing options thatcan make renewable energy op-tions easy and affordable.”

According to Symington, thereare state and utility programsthat can contribute to the cost ofenergy-efficient upgrades. Atpresent, however, the programsare not well known. Sustainable

Princeton hopes to bridge the gapin knowledge.

The types of energy-efficientequipment qualified for commer-cial properties are often differentthan a home. For example, arestaurant requires large refrig-erators and dishwashers. Theproducts that consume the ener-gy are diverse, and the cam-paign’s goal is to teach businessowners to navigate through theranging needs.

Through New Jersey’s cleanenergy program, Symington saidthere is a program called DirectInstall that the campaign commit-tee wants business owners to beaware of.

“Anecdotally, we know thereare some buildings that have al-ready utilized programs such asDirect Install, but it is importantto continue educating the com-munity to take advantage ofthem,” she said.

Last fall, Sustainable New Jer-sey announced it was going toaward a grant to fund energyprojects. At that time, the energycommittee had already been plan-ning its 2015 goals and decided toseek funding to continue the En-ergySmart Building Campaign.Princeton was one of three mu-nicipalities to be awarded a$35,000 grant. The grant wasawarded to the municipality,which then handed it over to Sus-tainable Princeton, a non-profitorganization.

“This campaign is one of theways that we as a non-profit or-ganization have been able to workwith the town to carry out a proj-ect that will benefit all of Prince-ton,” Symington said.

Another aspect of the cam-paign, Symington described, be-yond collecting data, pinpointingopportunities and educating, isinitiating one-on-one consulta-tions. Sustainable Princeton islooking to work with a local start-up, Wattvision, which has beenworking locally to measure elec-tricity – such as hosting a “Do itin the dark” competition atPrinceton University to see whichdorm could conserve the most en-ergy.

Wattvision offers a product al-lowing homeowners and businessowners to monitor real-time ener-gy use on their property. The en-ergy committee is going to reachout to businesses that might wantto volunteer to use the Wattvisionproduct so Sustainable Princetoncan better monitor usage.Symington believes this morepersonalized approach will helpproperty owners to recognize andchange their behavior in sustain-able matters.

“We hope to leverage theknowledge of progressive prac-tices as we interact with and in-fluence other businesses andproperty owners to be more envi-ronmentally conscious,” Syming-ton said.
