    RELIGION and EDUCATION an ABBPAST PUBLICATION Introduction

    THE ABBOTSKERSWELL VILLAGE HISTORY SERIES, 3 RELIGION AND EDUCATION AN ABBPAST PUBLICATION Introduction he Abbotskerswell Village History Series, is now well under way, with this being the third in the series; if you have missed the first two Task in the shop as they should still have copies. We now move on to the story of the hugely significant village institutions of churches, chapels and schools. The Abbotskerswell of 2016 is a very different place from the nineteenth century village that features in this edition, when the various religious institutions held great importance in most people’s lives; the fact that a village of under 500 people had five separate religious groups represented here was remarkable. Of course many people rarely left the village and had simple views on life, they were poorly educated and many would have been illiterate. Our village’s story continues with the changes brought about by compulsory education and children no longer leaving school aged ten to go to work. In writing each booklet we have tried to make each one readable on its own, whilst trying not to end up repeating ourselves. They probably make more sense read in sequence, as names such as Mrs Hare do keep reappearing. From the research team’s point of view the exciting thing is the wealth of material that has emerged as more people have learnt of our project. The emergence of village histories going back nearly a century has been fascinating, in this edition we feature two more of them.

    Walks to the Paradise Garden, a Lowdown Southern

    July 1, 2019 Walks to the Paradise Garden: A Lowdown Southern Odyssey, ed. Phillip March Jones Richard B. Woodward JTF (just the facts): Published in 2019 by Institute 193 (here) to coincide with the exhibition Way Out There: The Art of Southern Backroads at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (March 2-May 19, 2019). Hardcover, 352 pages, with 100 color and 80 black-and-white photographic reproductions. Organized as a collection of writings by Jonathan Williams with photographs by Roger Manley and Guy Mendes. (Cover and spread shots below.) Comments/Context: Jonathan Williams (1929-2008) was one of the wild cards of American arts and letters. Poet, publisher, photographer, folklorist, gadfly, he devoted his sizable energies and learning as an adult to seeking out and championing the culturally marginalized. Williams wrote this manuscript in the early 1990s, an account of journeys made in the 1980s with friends Roger Manley and Guy Mendes, as they rode around the backroads of the Southeastern United States (except for Florida where Williams refused to go) in search of native oddballs and visionaries. This was an era before Outsider Art Fairs became regular events and self-taught artists were esteemed by museum curators and collectors. We are therefore given early and privileged access to numerous figures (Howard Finster, Martha Nelson, Thornton Dial, Henry Speller, Harold Garrison, Annie Hooper, Edgar Tolson, James Harold Jennings, Vollis Simpson, Sister Gertrude Morgan) prior to their academic and monetary validation. In his Editor’s Note, Phillip March Jones, who has worked to preserve the tangy flavor of Williams’ vinegary prose while correcting a few errors, writes that this book offers “one last look at the artists and place-makers of the Southern United States before the arrival of a new and interconnected world.” Although in some ways an art historical document of the period, with time-stamped references to the 1991 Iraq War, among other Bush-era asides, it is also a self-portrait.

    Ten Galleries Whose Founders Quit the Big City to Become Cultural

    November 30, 2018 Ten Galleries Whose Founders Quit The Big City To Become Cultural Trailblazers in the Heartland by Laura van Straaten “I’m the Gagosian of Memphis now,” jokes Matt Ducklo whose gallery Tops recently expanded to a second space. Six years ago, he opened the first location in the basement of a printing and stained-glass factory — to get down there, it’s a treacherous spelunk through a junk-filled hallway. The newer location is tucked into a small park nearby. Of course, the foot traffic in Memphis doesn’t quite compare to the throngs of gallerygoers in Chelsea. “If five people show up on a Saturday, I’m happy,” admits Ducklo. After an MFA at Yale and almost a decadelong career in photography in New York, economic pressures forced Ducklo to reconsider his priorities, “I thought, My goal in life was not to live in New York City but to do creative things, he recalls. He headed home to Tennessee where he quickly discovered, as he puts its, “the joy and despair of having a gallery that is far from a major art capital.” Ducklo’s in good company. He is one of ten gallerists I’ve discovered over the last few years who renounced their big-city careers on the coasts to create new art spaces in their heartland hometowns, or, in one case, the small town where a spouse’s career is. I first met most of these gallerists at art fairs like those opening next week in Miami — including NADA, Untitled, Pulse, and others in New York and even internationally.

She grew up during the Great Depression, the seventh of thirteen children. She is oft quoted as saying "The story of my life would make Roots and The Color Purple look like a fairy tale. There was nothing. In the morning, you'd just get up, go looking for whatever you could find, and if you had one meal that day, then you'd made progress." Bessie attended school through the fourth grade, then went to work as a domestic. She married Charles Harvey at the age of fourteen, so she was no longer a economic burden to her family. Bessie stayed married to Harvey into her early twenties. They separated and she independently moved away, eventually settling in Alcoa, Tennessee with their five children. There she continued to work as a domestic and later married Cleve Jackson. Over the course of a twenty year marriage which ended in divorce, the !couple had six children. Always deeply religious and attuned to the essential spiritual nature of the world, Bessie sought expression for her experiences and beliefs. She recalled creating toys and dolls,"something out of nothing", as a child. As an adult, she would do the same to bring her visionary experiences into the physical world.

At the time of its publication there was a full description of the book in these columns. At that time the secretary and historian of the Pomeroy Family Association was Albert A. Pomeroy of Sandusky, Ohio, who has been continued in the office. The volume represents the expenditure of a large amount of time and money, and the genealogies of the different generations are concise, so that each page contains as much information as is found in some genealogical pampl,/ets." -Boston Transcript. The History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family: "The book selected by the New England Register for attack, is a splendid work of 1040 royal octavo pages, with about eighty interesting illustra­ tions, the whole well printed in excellent type on beautiful white paper and handsomely bound, while in subject matter and contents it is, to an historian, of all genealogies which I have ever examined the one most notable and historically most valuable." -The 'Journal of American History, Vol XI, No. 2.
