Here we are early in the new year of 2021. TSL continues to remain open we have the TSL Gallery open, the STUFF STORE, & Virtual movies + Discussions that happen via ZOOM. Coming next is a discussion on V. Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. The year-end contributions to TSL have been very generous. This generosity means that we continue our work here–with new ideas coming for the Spring of 2021. We will be starting an apprentice program as well as outdoor events & as the vaccines are distributed we hope to open our theaters “inside”. We miss our TSL loving audience –that is for certain. Right now the nation is reeling from the attempted coup that occurred on this past Wednesday. We hope that we can find ways to settle our differences by the ballot not by violence. Many in the nation feel cheated –the past has left many of us out. Time to tell the truth and hold people accountable.

Mrs Dalloway:

A book discussion (via zoom) on Jan. 23

at 1pm join Linda Claudia & TSL

for a discussion of Virginia Woolf’s 

Mrs. Dalloway—written nearly 100

years ago it is a novel about Clarissa

Dalloway a 51 year old woman who

takes us on a day’s  journey —she lives in

London it is June 1923 post war- post

flu epidemic—she is preparing for

a party that evening—we journey

with her by the stream of consciousness

(style of writing)—this style born in the early

part of the 20th century—for many Woolf

by far exceeds Joyce’s- Ulysses (a book

about a day in the life) of Leopold Bloom.

Clarissa reflects past, present and future

just like us now—as we now are forced

to be in her position

to reflect on our lives—

as the pandemic of the 21st century now

visits us and pushes us into our own 

self exploration. Join me—it is a perfect

time to re-consider the importance of

this great writer —Virginia Woolf—one 

of the writers who definitely shaped my

life as an artist.—I first read her book

50+ years ago—and the work is always

fresh and asks me to revisit again and 

again- as I change so does the reading.

A conversation held on zoom to with Quintin Cross, Sam J. Miller, Jacob Walthour and Linda Mussmann–a look at 15 years ago when Hudson was engaged in the battle of the cement war here in our community.

We discuss the issues that still linger in this small city called Hudson, NY–including but not limited to –gentrification, gig economy, drug abuse, housing, diversity, airbnb’s, lack of opportunities for young people, living wage, and more.

check the you tube to listen in and if you would like to watch 2 square miles–the movie by Barbara Ettinger you can find it as well on youtube for free.

Flannery O’Connor

A southern/Catholic writer.  Born in Georgia 

(March 25, 1925 – August 3, 1964)

TSL features a documentary on this 

amazing writer—it is excellent if you 

want to catch up on one of America’s

genius wordsmiths.  I met O’Connor 

in the world of movies—WISE BLOOD

a brilliant movie based on her first novel.

Check it—see it read it—O’Connor is

a person who is enchanted with “freaks”

and Jesus.  What more can I say.

Moby Dick 

I am re-reading Moby Dick.

I have done a lot of thinking about

Herman Melville’s great book and

have made 3 theater productions

based on the book.

This time I am going very slowly

through each chapter and feasting

on each delight.

There are some phrases that

haunt me such as the last 

sentence of Chapter # 34

“And as when Spring and Summer 

had departed that wild Logan of

the woods, burying himself in the’ hollow of a tree, 

lived out the winter there, 

sucking his own paws; 

so, in his inclement, howling old age,

Ahab’s soul, shut up in a carved trunk of his body, 

there fed upon the sullen paws of its gloom!”

This is such a beautiful and complicated

sentence it does one good to type each

word to understand the structure and

the content of the sentence.

November 5, 2020

We are open this week-end Nov. 7-8 Sat./Sun

The TSL Staff is around all afternoon.

The theaters are open screening 2 concert

movies and one movie of the recent show

that Linda & Claudia performed a for the

fund-raiser recently.  The Stuff Store is open.

The bbq is happening in the parking lot and

the EARL show is remaining in the gallery

with some select works…we hope you

will stop by and have a chat—TSL is

open inside and we are ready to keep the

screen busy—but we need to see you back

IN-SIDE—you and we cannot live by virtual

alone. The winter is coming and we are willing

to keep the screen busy —we can serve 

you in the theater at 25% capacity.  We

want to share our time and space with you

and know we can do this safely—the solar

is in (by the way)

and the staff is eager to continue our

journey together.  TSL goes on. See you 

soon https://timeandspace.org/event-category/event/

The Line.

Did he step over the line.

That was the question that

we could not answer.

Well where was the line?

The line kept changing.

One time it was here 

and then it was there.

Yes he stepped over the line

some said 

and yet some said 

that they could not see the line.

And if they could not see the line

they could not decide if the line 

was crossed or not.

Hmmm?? 

I see so…. 

we are at a standstill.

Yes BUT we don’t know for sure

and if we are not sure we 

are not sure.

Well he did say that the 

whites(aka Proud Boys)

that they should “stand back”

and “stand by”.

What did that mean??

Well that meant that

the whites/“Proud Boys” should be

present and ready to stand

by and put their heals on the

throats of those that are not

acting on behalf of the whites 

hmmm?

Are we in trouble?

yes

SOLAR & SOLAR

The solar panels are on the roof. We wait now for 

the electric company to turn them on.  It has been

about 1 1/2 years since we started this effort—we

have had fundraisers to assist with the funds.

We also have repaired the roof and done required

work to make this possible. All this has cost TSL

a substantial amount of money—the Solar is $70,000

alone—the roof work was $35,000.  We continue

raising funds to pay for this.  At this time we are

banking on a future for Time & Space Limited

that will see us open in the next year or years.

2021 or 2022 ? The idea of a return to normal

is not what we see—but a new re-imagined TSL.

Right now the TSL Gallery is the focus of our 

time and space.  We have been outside in the

parking lot hosting movies and performances

since July 2020—as the cold weather approaches

we will have to discontinue that effort and move

inside.  We are planning for the spring of 2021

with outside events and other projects (to be

announced).  Now we focus on a year end

campaign-and a fundraiser for October 10, 2020.

Claudia and Linda will be presenting a performance

event (including some chili/cornbread) —6:00pm

start time—dress for the outside—it will be on

the screen in the parking lot—as well as a

live presentation…see you soon.

Moving moving—we keep on moving.

TSL is moving on to our future projects–

The Solar Panels are being installed in

a few days—we could use some more 

help paying for this installation.

In fact—we had to switch companies

and do more work on the roof—so 

we won’t be shy—we can use some

more help in paying this bill.

As for the new TSL gallery space—we

are moving on to create THE EARL SHOW

opening Saturday Sept. 5th…it is

a vast impressive collection of Earl Swanigan’s 

work—we are honored to show his work.

Also we are featuring the TSL “STUFF STORE”

in our basement space–a way to raise funds

for TSL–visit–prior to events–Movies (outdoors)

and the TSL GALLERY.

We hope to see you at TSL.

We don’t sleep much.
