Clark Art Presents Performance By Luke Fischbeck

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, Jan. 31 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents an original musical performance by Luke Fischbeck inspired by special exhibition Raffaella della Olga: Typescripts. 
 
The performance takes place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
Raffaella della Olga considers her practice of typewriter art in musical terms, with the machine itself as an instrument and the resulting works as graphic scores. In this program, Williams College lecturer Luke Fischbeck, of the collaborative sound art group lucky dragons, performs two works inspired by della Olga’s practice: a solo piano composition by Parisian composer Alexandra Grimal, Typewriter #2, for Piano, and his own live mix of an electronic sound piece based on recordings made on the Clark campus.
 
Raffaella della Olga:Typescripts is on view through May 31, 2026 in the Eugene V. Thaw Gallery for Works on Paper in the Manton Research Center.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 college students, $5 children 17 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. For tickets, visit events.clarkart.edu.

Town, Residents Concerned About Forest Service Plan to Use Williamstown Road

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A timber manager with the U.S. Forest Service told the Select Board on Monday that his office was willing to work with the town to address concerns raised by residents over a plan to haul timber out of the Green Mountain National Forest across the state line in Vermont.
 
An overflow crowd of residents from both Williamstown and Pownal, Vt., attended Monday's meeting at Town Hall, where Stacy Stratton and other officials from the Forest Service laid out plans to cut and remove 1 million board feet of wood — about 2,000 cords — from the woodland just north of town.
 
The sticking point is how officials expect that wood to be removed from the forest: down White Oaks Road, a narrow, twisting residential street that town's director of public works says is ill-suited for the operation.
 
DPW Director Craig Clough was joined at the microphone Monday by nearly a dozen residents of Williamstown and Pownal to question elements of what the Forest Service is calling the "South of Route 9 Integrated Resource Project."
 
Most of those concerns centered on White Oaks Road.
 
Stratton told the board that somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 log truck trips will be required to remove the wood that the service plans to remove from the forest, but that number does not include all the heavy equipment that will need to be taken to the cutting site or the daily traffic from loggers traveling to and from the site.
 
The project itself could take anywhere from one to five years, Stratton said. That number won't be known until the Forest Service puts the job out to bid.
