Allen Richardson, formerly known as Christopher Perlstein, attended the Rochester Institute of Technology as a photography student in 1971. He made the unfortunate mistake of selling 7 tabs of LSD—to an undercover cop. He was incarcerated under a sentence of up to 4 years, and served 6 of his 48 months. He began his time in Attica, and was next transferred to a minimum-security prison. A riot erupted in Attica leaving 43 dead; told that he would be returning to Attica, Christopher fled to Canada. There he led an exemplary life in Western Vancouver. He began working as a lab technician in 1975. From 1982 until 2001, he worked as a senior technical researcher at UBC's TRIUMF laboratories, Canada's national laboratory of particle and nuclear physics. He also served as director of the Western Vancouver Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He had been known as an activist in Rochester, and his supporters to this day believe the severity of his sentence was reflective of that fact. Authorities were tipped off about his location in 1998, and he surrendered himself June of 2000. It was decided by the New York Parole Board that he must serve the final 9 months of his sentence. He was arrested the minute he stepped from his flight from Toronto to Rochester, NY. It was decided he would be released March of 2001. He served the agreed term and was released and allowed to return home, where he sought legal right to remain in Canada. UBC's TRIUMF laboratory publicly stated his job was waiting for him, despite his working for 30 years under an assumed identity. At the time of his second incarceration he was 50 years old, and his wife was in the process of fighting breast cancer. Hundreds of letters were sent in his support, attesting to his character and protesting his incarceration. According to his wife, he was kept in solitary confinement, denied phone calls, and was held without access to books or outdoor activity. He served 7 months in New York's medium-security Woodbourne Correctional Facility. U.S. Fugitive Back in Jail After 29 Years : Toronto Globe & Mail article

The Free Culture Coalition of Rochester was an RIT student organization which appears to be history since 2006. Anyone with information about the group since that time, please update this listing via Comments or Edit Free Culture Coalition Creativity and innovation always builds on the past. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds on it. Free societies enable the future by limiting the past. Ours is less and less a free society. —Lawrence Lessig, 2002. OSKON presentation Mission "The mission of the Free Culture movement is to ensure the future of a bottom-up, open, participatory structure to society and culture, and to prevent the spread of a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. Through the democratizing power of digital technology and the Internet, we can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person." "We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not just consumption. We will not sit at the end of a one-way media tube. With the Internet and other technological advances, the possibility exists for a new paradigm of creation, one where anyone can be an artist, and anyone can succeed, based not on industry connections, but on merit. We seek to make this possibility real." excerpts from the manifesto Announcements Get "Free Culture" here. We will have a community discussion of this book before the year is out.

[[Map]] You guys need to get some GIS data for Rochester, open it up in a GIS viewer program, and figure out the coordinates of the regions. Then save the regions as PNGs and then you'll create a simple xml file called map.xml that will tell the map how to act. Since there are no complicated calculations going on in the applet in terms of map projections, it works best on a relatively small area, but anything the size of a city is fine. I suggest using a map in UTM coordinates, not latitude/longitude, and spanning no more than one UTM zone(since it doesn't account for different zones).

Christine Waara was born in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, surrounded by lakes and forests. Her passion to create art was discovered at an early age. A “nature girl” at heart, the humbling power of the outdoors has always served as an inspiration. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from Northern Michigan University she moved to Rochester, NY. It wasn’t until much later, after marrying and having children that she started tapping into her talent for painting. She has studied with M. Wendy Gwirtzman in watercolor, Sari Gaby in portraiture, oils, and pastels, and Pat Tribastone in oils. Chris works full time as an artist. She occasionally teaches classes but finds it more and more important to express herself with the paint brush. She is experienced in a variety of mediums: watercolor, oils, pastels, photography, and mural painting. Sometimes working three or four paintings at a time, she works from her studio using sketches and photos she has taken while traveling, biking, hiking, and camping. She has been involved in various group shows as well as solo exhibitions winning numerous awards in multiple mediums. Many of her works have found their way into private collections worldwide. Although Chris presents us with ordinary subjects in her paintings, it’s more about seeing the extra-ordinary, transforming something simple into something noteworthy, observing something beautiful and bringing it to our full attention. “Nature helps me to become realigned with the wholeness of life. When I am in nature I feel a state of well-being, peaceful, alert, and happy. I become aware of my being a participant in the sacredness of Nature. It is my intention to share that feeling with the rest of the world through my paintings.” Christine is proud to be a member of the Rochester Art Club, the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society, the Penfield Art Association, and the Main Street Artists.
Band was known for... Cassette recording culture, 17 releases worldwide including compilations, on "State of the Union" a Billboard pick of the week Mention various media here. This article is for a Lost Band from Rochester. Hello there! My name is Bob Bartz, bassist/vocalist from Nosferatu. First, I want to say thanks for all those that created this page and added all the information on all the band from Rochester's past. What a treat it is to see some old names and relive some old memories. Nosferatu was a band I was in from July 1989 until August of 1992. The original lineup from its inception until December 1990 was: Carl Bern - Lead Vocals Tait Halverson - Rhythm/Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals Kevin Welch - Lead/Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals Bob Bartz - Bass/Backing Vocals Chris Beck - Drums The lineup from January 1991 until August 1992 was: Tait Halverson - Rhythm/Lead Guitar/Lead and Backing Vocals Kevin Welch - Lead/Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals Bob Bartz - Bass/Lead and Backing Vocals Chris Beck - Drums We started out playing covers, as most bands do, influenced by the thrash metal bands of the late 80s such as Megadeth, Anthrax and Sepultura. Eventually we wrote enough material to become an all original band consisting of about fifteen original songs by the end of our run. Mostly we were openers for bands like Matrikhore, Abberation, Divination, and other metal bands on the scene around that time. Backstreets and Club X were the two big venues where we performed (I know some of you remember THOSE places!). After our high school graduation in 1992, I moved to Pittsburgh, PA with my family. After college, I played bass and recorded a CD with the local band Order Of Nine in 1999 (they were called Templar back then). In 2000, I moved to Columbus, Ohio. Since moving here, I help found the local rock band Full Throttle (guitar/lead vocals) and performed in a Rush tribute band called Solar Federation (guitar/vocals). Currently I am the guitarist/vocalist in the local band Mach Five and the bassist/vocalist in the local band Some Random People. As for the rest of the band, Chris moved to Albany after college in the late 1990s and joined the local band The Refrigerators (trombone/vocals). Tait lived in Ithaca during the time of the band's existence and lived there afterward attending college. He was the lead singer for the local band DIRTUNDERgOD in the mid 1990s and recorded three solo releases from 1996-2000. You can find more information here. Kevin moved to Wilmington, North Carolina with his family in the late 1990s. I last saw him in 2001 and though he wasn't in a band he was still playing guitar on his own. Unfortunately, I've since lost contact with both Tait and Kevin and don't have any other updates. If you have any, please add them! Anyway, I had a good time with these great musicians, and it's nice that there's a place where I can share my memories of them. I'll have to dig through the memory banks to see who else I can remember from back in the day.
Al "Grandpa" Lewis Al Lewis is an actor best known for his role as "Grandpa" on the television series The Munsters. Relationship to Rochester There are some who believe Lewis was born Albert Meister in Wolcott, NY, between Syracuse and Rochester. However, there are no records of his birth at Wolcott. Most believe he was born April 30, 1923 in Brooklyn, but he insisted he was born in 1910. No one knows why he publicly lied about his age, adding 13 years. See Wikipedia article for discussion and sources. Background; When he was young, he and his immigrant mother moved to a Jewish ghetto in Brooklyn. His mother worked in a garment factory and sometimes had to sell apples in the street to make ends meet. Lewis worked in circuses during the summer in the 1920s, eventually becoming a performer. During the rest of the year, he was a good student, graduating high school and entering college. He earned a B.A. in Education at State Teacher's College in the early 1930s and eventually received a Ph.D. in child psychology from Columbia University in 1941. The 1930's brought hard times to millions of Americans. Lewis became a radio performer in Chicago, as well as being a salesman, plumber and doing medicine shows. He also became an activist, joining demonstrations at Home Relief offices and opposing evictions. During the war years, he served in the Merchant Marine. He was an organizer for the National Maritime Union. Twice his ship was sunk in enemy waters and he was rescued. He played many roles in live television in the late 1940's and the 1950's. In the early 1960's, he was cast as Officer Schnauzer Car 54: Where Are You? and Grandpa Munster in The Munsters. To this day, he is known to millions as Grandpa. A lifelong student of history, Lewis was well prepared for the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Living in California, he befriended the Black Panthers and taught black history. He helped them raise money for their legal defense as the FBI's covert Cointelpro program landed many of the Panthers in jail. He also opposed the Vietnam War and joined many anti-war demonstrations. Lewis continued taking up causes of the poor and the discriminated against from the 1970's through the 1990's.

Previous Exhibitions at Memorial Art Gallery Some archived material from RocWiki pages Memorial Art Gallery and More Upcoming Events. See MAG Past Exhibitions Page for full index of exhibition pages. GlassWear April 19–June 28, 2009 in the Grand Gallery GlassWear celebrates the marriage of two of the richest and most inventive areas in today’s decorative arts—glass and jewelry. It features approximately 130 works by 60 leading contemporary artists from the United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Africa. Exploiting the inherent properties of glass—transparency, fluidity, sharpness, fragility and reflection—the objects are mysterious, sensuous, and colorful. There is no better stage for this exciting work than Rochester. The School for American Crafts at RIT and artistic communities in nearby Corning and Alfred have placed Western New York on the map as an important hub for fine craft work. The exhibition was developed by the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City and the Jewelry Museum in Pforzheim, Germany, home to one of the world’s finest collections of modern jewelry. Tradition in Transition: Russian Icons in the Age of the Romanovs October 5, 2008–January 4, 2009 Tradition in Transition tells a story that has rarely been explored: that of the Russian icon or sacred devotional image during 300 years of Romanov rule (1613-1917). Seven hundred years of Russia’s isolation from the rest of the world came to a halt when Peter the Great commanded the construction of a new capital at St. Petersburg, on the Baltic shore. With this symbolic action, he opened a “window on the West.” The resulting influx of ideas, styles, fashions and ideologies altered the fabric of Russian society and profoundly influenced its most emblematic artistic expression: the religious icon. Subverting the Sacred: The Face of Lenin October 5, 2008-January 4, 2009 in the Grand Gallery Images of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, founder of the Russian Communist Party and first leader of the Soviet Union, permeated every aspect of Soviet society from his death in 1924 until the country’s breakup in 1991. Despite Lenin’s objections to any sort of cult behavior, religious or secular, his face—reproduced on traditional artworks and mass-produced objects alike—would become a "new icon" for the Soviet citizenry. Organized by MAG, this companion show to Tradition in Transition brings together paintings, posters and artifacts collected by David Rittenhouse, a UR graduate and former member of the US Foreign Service. CALLING EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD: AMERICAN WORLD WAR I POSTERS (Through January 21, 2007) The United Stated government called upon the power of the poster to mobilize the country for entry into the Great War. Playing on cultural roles of gender and family and utilizing the power of symbols and personification, the posters of the First World War are striking works of art and propaganda. Dedicated to the memory of David Hochstein (1892-1918), violin prodigy after whom the Hochstein School was named; killed in the Battle of Argonne.

MY AMERICA: ART FROM THE JEWISH MUSEUM COLLECTION, 1900-1955 (Through Sunday, December 24, 2006) In the first decades of the 20th century, American Jewish artists enjoyed unprecedented freedoms, even as they faced harsh economic and political realities. Through paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures, this major traveling exhibition explores the reactions of a diverse group of artists during a period of social, political and intellectual upheaval. The 73 works are by such noted artists as Alfred Stieglitz, Ben Shahn, Raphael Soyer and Morris Louis. Some were born in the US, some came under the influence of European avant-garde influences while studying abroad, and still others were immigrants, particularly from Eastern Europe.

COUNCILMEMBER MARY LUPIEN, EAST DISTRICT East District Councilmember (585) 428-7538 (o) (585) 406-4709 (c) Mary.Lupien@cityofrochester.gov Elected: Jan 2021- Dec 2023 Mary Lupien has been proud to call Rochester her home since 1999. Mary graduated from RIT in 2003 with a BS in Information Technology, and a minor in Spanish and Latin American Culture. She has lived in the Beechwood neighborhood since 2014 with her husband Jesse and their daughters Maya and Wren, who are both enrolled in the Rochester City School District. Mary has served on the board of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition since 2018. After graduating RIT, Mary began a career in tech as a PC Repair Technician, and then as a Computer Programmer. As she grew in her corporate roles, so did the feeling that she was not serving a higher purpose. During this time Mary began studying social justice, and joined service-oriented organizations such as the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and the Blessed Sacrament Social Justice Team. She was a founding member of the Monroe Village Farmers' Market, and eventually left her corporate career to become the Assistant Director of Saint Peter’s Soup Kitchen on Brown Street. Mary has spent time working with children in deeply impoverished areas of Guatemala City with Camino Seguro. She has worked for the Catholic Family Center (CFC) in several capacities including: as a Fundraising Assistant in the Homeless and Housing Department, as a member of their IT Department, and as a member of CFC’s Antipoverty Task Force, which was the precursor to the Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI). Mary worked as a Bi-Lingual Reading Interventionist at Henry Hudson School #28 in the Rochester City School District, leaving to join City Council. First elected in 2019, Mary is a community activist turned public servant, and was inspired to run for office after Bernie Sanders' influential 2016 presidential campaign. Mary is passionate about fighting poverty, institutional racism, housing rights, and improving the quality of life for all Rochesterians. She is active in community efforts to halt displacement and create access to quality, affordable housing as a volunteer with City Roots Land Trust and the City-Wide Tenant Union. She is a member of Mothers Out Front, a group mobilizing to preserve a livable climate and inspire bold local action to achieve a sustainable future for our children. She has served as their representative to the Police Accountability Board Alliance. Mary seeks to increase Civic Engagement by opening up the legislative process and to "Co-Govern" with the community, seeking their input consistently.
