    THE ARTIST SAM MCKIN NISS ON CAPTURING LORDE IN THE TWILIGH T By Jia Tolentino | 24 March, 2017 Last year, the twenty-year-old New Zealand singer - songwriter Lorde contacted the Brooklyn -based painter Sam McKinniss through mutual friends. She came to visit his studio in Bushwick, and then went to see his exhibition “Egyptian Violet,” which featured, among other works, a life-size oil painting, rendered with Symbolist intensity and high-classical technique, of Prince on a motorcycle. Soon after, she aske d McKinniss if he would paint a portrait of her for the cover of her forthcoming album, “Melodrama.” At a time when pop music and mass culture are analyzed with feverish determination, Sam McKinniss’s work offers an alternative.PHOTOGRAPH BY DAN ALLEGRETT O The two artists are well suited; Lorde’s sonic palette is moody and electric, and she absorbs influences across genres and media; McKinniss bases his uneasy, romantic oil paintings on photographs, most of them pulled from Google Images. (The painting of Prince, for instance, was a copy of the “Purple Rain” album cover.) For Lorde, he set up a shoot at a friend’s apartment, on the forty-second floor of Frank Gehry’s twisting silver skyscraper just west of the Brooklyn Bridge, putting colored bulbs on a li ghting rig and hiring a friend to take photos while he directed. Lorde came to the apartment on a cloudless afternoon in mid-November. The space was all windows; at dusk, blue light flooded in. Lorde changed into a vintage negligee. “She was just ready for it,” McKinniss recalled recently.

  • News from the Selectboard Happy New Year
    Volume 1 Published monthly since May 1999 January 2019 News from the Selectboard Submitted by Erik Spitzbarth, Chairperson IF MY HOME’S REASSESSTED VALUATION INCREASES, DOES THAT MEAN MY PROPERTY TAX BILL AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES? – NO There is a misunderstanding at times on what really drives your tax bill. In simple terms, it’s all about government spending. Your property tax bill is based on two factors: A. The Total $$$ Authorized to be Raised (sum of Education, Local, and County Budgets) B. The Total Assessed Valuations for the Town A/B x 1,000 = the “Tax Rate” for the community Your Tax Bill = Your Home’s Assessed Value per / 1,000 x The Tax Rate. If Approved Spending increases and the pool of Assessed Valuations stays the same, the Tax Rate will increase. Your Tax Bill will Increase. If Approved Spending stays unchanged, and the pool of Assessed Valuations uniformly increases, the Tax Rate will decrease. You Tax Bill will be unchanged. Your Tax Bill is based on individual changes in your assessment. These changes become part of the Total Pool of Assessed Evaluations (up or down). In general terms, holding spending and increasing the pool of evaluations through improvements and growth, reduce the Individual Tax Burden. Reducing spending has even a greater effect. Spend More, Pay More CALL TO DUTY: Our town is blessed to be called home to almost a 100 US military veterans. There are a number of events through out the year where your participation is acknowledged and appreciated. We are also looking to organize a social get-together in 2019.
