    <strong>56 Up</strong>
    56 Up At Real Art Ways, 56 Arbor St., Hartford, realartways.org   Time does a number on us. Skin wrinkles. Faces fill out. Chins multiply. Hairlines recede. Teeth yellow (or fall out). Bellies expand. Shapes shift, settle or vanish. That's just...

  2. Film About the Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous Screens This Week at Real Art Ways

    William G. Wilson was a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, originally a group of men helping each other to overcome their addictions to alcohol together instead of by traditional means at the time, which included lobotomies, shock therapy and imprisonment. Wilson co-founded the support group in 1935 following his near-demise from his own drinking habits, and Alcoholics Anonymous has since grown to help millions of men and women obtain and sustain sobriety.

  3. 'The Waiting Room' Playing at Real Art Ways in Hartford Through Dec. 20

    Anyone who's struggled with the healthcare situation in this country &mdash; to obtain it when you're unemployed or have a pre-existing condition, for example, or to get needed medical attention without it &mdash; will appreciate <em>The Waiting Room</em>, a documentary showing at Hartford's Real Art Ways this week. The film follows several patients and hospital staff dealing with seemingly insurmountable healthcare hurdles in the midst of the crippling Great Recession. Not necessarily a feel-good film, but an important one. Hang around for the post-film discussion.

  4. App Art at Real Art Ways in Hartford

    In <em>Making Tracks</em>, Laurie Frick used contemporary apps like Fitbit, OpenPaths and an iPhone camera to compile the results from 90 days of surveillance, assembling her findings into a huge floor-to-ceiling grid. It's the type of art that encourages self-discovery by comparing the world we <em>think</em> we live in with what we actually spend our time doing (which usually involves technology of some sort). The opening reception will be held Jan. 17, 2013.

  7. 'Diagram' Exhibit on Display at Real Art Ways in Hartford Through Jan. 13

    Medical illustrator, architect, maritime explorer, geometrician: certain occupations rely on diagrams to an inordinate degree. That diagram you're reading contains an error? The building falls down, the surgery goes awry, the ship hits a reef, that nice little drawing of a rhombus looks like shit. Four artists &mdash; Enid Hatton, Karla Knight (that's her "Muddle Head," pictured), Martha Lewis and Laurie Sloan &mdash; whose work makes up <em>Diagram</em>, an exhibit that remains at Hartford's Real Art Ways until January 13, use hand-drawn diagrams to convey aspects of their personal and aesthetic positions. It's fair to say that actual diagrams, one's that are technically "correct," have some artistic merit to them. But these don't have to stand up to scrutiny, so expect some wild schematic action here.

  11. Bated Breath Theatre Company Performs at the Wadsworth in Hartford

    Visual art and theater are cultural chocolate and peanut butter. We've all stared at wall-sized paintings and imagined characters moving, interacting, playing out in three dimensions what visual artists convey in 2-D. For two nights, Bated Breath Theatre Company (pictured), a scrappy, local upstart troupe fresh off a residency at Hartford's Real Art Ways, takes to the Wadsworth's marble stairways and halls (how dare they?) to interpret the museum's <em>Medieval to Monet: French Paintings in the Wadsworth Atheneum</em> exhibit, focusing specifically on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's (1864-1901) <em>Jane Avril Leaving the Moulin Rouge</em>. If ever there was an artist ripe for theatrical interpretation, it's Toulouse-Lautrec, who himself was <em>way </em>into the Parisian theater scene in those heady, post-impressionist days.

  12. An Election Night Live Radio Broadcast at Real Art Ways in Hartford

    Hard numbers don't exist to tell us how many viewers had additional screens on their laps as they watched the three presidential and one vice-presidential debates this fall, but it was undoubtedly greater than the population of Canada. Hartford's Real Art Ways was an early adopter of the two-screen, live-tweet-debate phenomenon; they opened their doors for all four debates, provided WiFi for tweeters and served drinks inspired by Those Wacky Candidates (a P90x Punch, for example, for Paul-Ryan-abs-lovers). On election night (Nov. 6), they'll tap local NPR radio jocks John Dankosky and Colin McEnroe to gab through it all, while guests drink, talk and tweet, on what's bound to be a tough night for some folks. #firstworldproblems
