My theory, at the time, was that art born of constant cultural clash, of societal grit, of the rage of the human spirit against concrete — that is, born of the city — often had more of a touch of dynamism and immediacy. I argued that prevailing trends in city galleries could be counted on to have continuing relevance because they inform our understanding of culture’s evolution on different levels. Even if there’s an aesthetic distaste in the eyes of the work’s spectator, the work will have the undeniability of exploration — whether the phenomenon being explored is in the artist’s head or arising from a cultural pastiche.
In contrast, rural galleries often seemed fraught with the mellow remnants of an inconsequential dream: hazy landscape paintings, sculptures of animals, and semi-functional decorative bits offered to an already-cluttered universe.

This is, without a doubt, an age of creative and entrepreneurial autonomy for individuals. The Internet and its complete democratization has allowed the ambitious masses to create professional-quality Web sites for their businesses, build fan bases for their art through social networking sites, and essentially create a cult of personality surrounding themselves and their products, with little to no cost nor collaborative energy. It seems that the only limit for relative fame, these days, is the amount of time one has to go spelunking for publicity through cyberspace.
The global connectivity revolution has its pros and cons. Small, local business endeavors could be said to reap the most benefit, with the potential to reach worldwide customers or partners without picking up a phone or booking a flight. Most small-time entrepreneurs simply don’t have the funding to do otherwise, and sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace create for them a bonafide network of interested people. Artists are perhaps the biggest contingent of this group, historically lacking savings and the desire to constantly network face-to-face rather than create. For instance, in new marketing, an indie singer-songwriter will have his or her entire life story, set of accomplishments, roster of opinions and song catalogue at the world’s disposal — record company or actual fanbase be damned.

Six skiers and snowboarders from Okemo Mountain Resort competed in the 2010 Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships March 25-28 at Winter Park Resort. Four returned home with medals.
“We are so proud of the six Okemo racers who competed at the Nationals,” said Okemo Mountain Resort Vice-President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt. “These men and women work so hard and are an inspiration to us all.”
Doug Gould, age 48, of Rochester, Vt., attended his first Nationals and took the bronze in the men’s 45-49 snowboard division.
Christine Jenne, age 57, of Huntington, N.Y., was hoping to repeat her performance last year - a bronze medal in the women’s 55-59 gold division.
Sue Kramer, age 44, of Peru, Vt., took first place in the women’s 40-44 platinum division. She won the same title last year at the Nationals in Steamboat.
Herb Maierle, age 74, of Middle Village, N.Y., placed second in the men’s 70-74 gold division. He took gold at the 2008 event.
Patrick Moore, age 63, of Newington, Conn., has been Okemo’s NASTAR Coordinator and Pacesetter for the past four years. He holds the title of 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 Age Group National Snowboarding Champion and in 2008 became the first racer to concurrently become the National Age Group Champion in both skiing and snowboarding.
Bob Zawacki, age 70, of Farmington, Conn., competed in his first National Championship, finishing in sixth place in the hotly contested men’s 70-74 gold division.
NASTAR, the world’s largest recreational ski and snowboard race program, is owned and operated by Bonnier Mountain Group, publisher of Skiing magazine, SKI magazine and Warren Miller Entertainment.
Since the program’s inception four decades ago, more than six million racer days have been recorded by NASTAR. Last season, more than 220,885 NASTAR racer days and a record 553,808 starts were logged. Racers qualify for the National Championships by earning a top-three ranking in their age division at any of the 120-plus Nature Valley NASTAR ski resorts throughout North America.
Congratulations!
