[Frameworks] David Sherman + Peter Hutton, Larry Jordan, & Jon Beacham at UnionDocs

[Steve HOLMGREN]

The radical psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich and mega-developer Del Webb both
found their way into Southern Arizona in the late 1950’s, both bringing
vastly different ideas of Utopia. The intersection of these thinkers is the
backbone for David Sherman’s compelling documentary essay, *Wasteland
Utopias <http://t.ymlp16.net/hbuuacawbmaoaemapaue/click.php>*, screening
this Saturday. Sherman will appear in person for discussion along with
curator Paul Roth. “A remarkable cocktail of personal narratives that
explores unlikely coincidences of people and places in a wilderness
paradoxically threatened by civilization. Its medium is an enriching part of
its message, making it as challenging as it is gripping.” David Canter,
Environmental Psychologist, author of “The Psychology of Place."

Jon Beacham, who operates under the imprint The Brother in Elysium (formerly
Hermitage in Beacon), has produced an incredible collection of unique art
pieces utilizing collage, photography, and letterpress techniques. He also
has quietly completed a handful of personal and moving films which relate to
portraiture of landscapes. His mixed media works will be on display Sunday
inside beginning at 7pm, and at 8:30pm Beacham will host a backyard 16mm
screening of his films
<http://t.ymlp16.net/hbueanawbmaraemacaue/click.php>alongside work
from Peter Hutton (
*New York Portraits Part 1*) and Larry Jordan (*Triptych in Four Parts*),
who have both informed his approach.
