In this installation of photographs, audio documents and notes, architect and photographer Scott Benedict takes you on a journey across twenty-six of Louis I. Kahn’s private and public creations.

Beyond documentary, Kahnscious is the culmination of an eight-year odyssey in which Benedict shares his progression through inspiration, delusion, exhaustion, and exhilaration at his attempt to express the immaterial aspects of architecture and the challenges of then photographing

Chops, Sauerkraut, and Krewtons bring a rockabilly style to Dewey Hall, a great dancing band, with an all age rockin’ appeal. Chops Sauerkraut, and Krewtons have been playing hard edged Rockabilly, Honky Tonk and Garage Rock since the early part of this millennium. Chops and Sauerkraut take influence from Carl Perkins, the Standells, ? and the Mysterians, Frankie Yankovic, Elvis Presley, Bob Wills, and the Cramps. Cranking through B-sides of the last century as well as writing their own Sock-It-To-Me Sound” classics. They have played roadhouses and Honky Tonks from Copake Falls to Craryville for years knocking the socks off fans with the thumping upright bass, funky foot drums, and the rebel rhythm of days gone by.

Chops Laconte is one of the best rockabilly bull bass players. He has gigged as the bassist with Brian Setzer, and tours regularly with the Luster Kings, and the legendary Wanda Jackson. He was a founding member of the 1990’s New York band Slick Pelt.
Sauerkraut Seth Travins is a musician around town and around the world. Currently his main gig is the Upright bassist with The Wiyos, he also plays guitar, writes and sings. His Rockabilly persona comes to life in Chops and Sauerkraut.

Seth makes sauerkraut, Kim Chee and fermented vegetables when he’s not playing music. sauerkrautseth.com

A four-hour class devoted to teaching you what you need to know to begin, and continue, this enjoyable pastime.
Covered in the class are the basics of wood identification; as well as the layout, carving and finishing a hardwood wooden spoon. We’ll focus on carving technique, and hopefully, by the end of the class, participants will leave with a spoon of their own making, as well as the wood, skills and tools necessary to start another spoon. Participants should specify their dominant hand at application.
