This no-fail Colorado perennial is close to my heart | Opinion

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems).Gardening in Colorado isn’t for the weak-hearted.It’s taken me decades of battling clay soil, grubs, slugs, beetles, weeds, drought and my own ignorance to arrive at a comfortable truce with my yard. No more do I throw my hands up in disgust every time I walk outdoors.But it’s been a difficult — and costly — road.In the spring, I would say prayers over my victims when I purchased hundreds of dollars worth of perennials and annuals, many of them destined to die in short order. An East Coast transplant, I once had high hopes for those acid-loving rhododendrons and Cape Cod-blue hydrangeas. I had silly visions of South Florida azaleas and bougainvillea thriving at 5,000 feet (RIP, lovely plants). Thousands spent...

Video art remains hard to define and a challenge to exhibit

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:37:47 GMT

No genre of art is more misunderstood, or less appreciated, by the general public than video art — for a couple of reasons.Even though it has been recognized and discussed for more than half a century — and has produced genuine art superstars ranging from pioneer Nam June Paik to current practitioners like Matthew Barney, Bill Viola and Tania Candiani — video art remains hard to define and a challenge to exhibit.The video piece “Never Settle” is part documentary, part satire. Photo provided by RedLine Art Center.It is easier to say what it is not: cinema, or at least traditional filmmaking where creators use actors to tell cohesive stories (although some video art has a narrative and a lot of it uses actors).But video art, speaking generally, tends to focus on presenting an idea or a concept, rather than a coherent tale. Most of the video art you see in galleries these days unfolds as a series of moving images, connected in a dream-like or surreal way that is meant...

Editor’s note: The opinions of the smart, well-read women in my Denver book club mean a lot, and often determine what the rest of us choose to pile onto our bedside tables. Sure, you could read advertising blurbs on Amazon, but wouldn’t you be more likely to believe a neighbor with no skin in the game over a corporation being fed words by publishers? So in this new series, we are sharing these mini-reviews with you. Have any to offer? Email [email protected].“The Deluge,” by Stephen Markley (Simon & Schuster)This novel in turn frustrated me, held me spellbound, scared the bejeezus out of me and left me in awe. “The Deluge” is set in the very near future and the U.S. is embroiled in the effects of successive and worsening climate-change-caused weather disasters, political extremism, home-grown terrorism, private militias, more senseless mass shootings, government surveillance and overreach, economic swings and anything else you can imagine ...
