Artist Joe Waks sees Humor in Madison Ave Hype New Works in Group Show at Paul Vincent Gallery
Waks stands in front of his “Neo-Socio Absurdist Series” on view at Paul Vincent Gallery in Hoboken.
By Sally Deering
When artist Joe Waks was a kid in Wayne Town-ship his mom would drop him off at the library and he would bolt for the section with the international news magazines to pore over car and cigarette ads. Waks’ interest in consumer icons grew to appreciating the text and images in theNew York Times and the big black and white photos splashed across LIFE magazine’s pages.
When his Aunt Norma wallpapered her bathroom in Time magazine covers, Waks’ imagination “shot over the moon” Joe Waks now works as Arts Coordinator for the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Af-fairs/Tourism with offices in the Brennan Court House building in Jersey City. When he’s not assisting filmmakers scouting loca-tions or working on arts programming, Waks createshis own style of art that
flips our culture’s consum-erism on its head and then whacks it with a rubber chicken. Waks’ latest works, a “Neo-Socio Absurdist Se-ries,” can be seen with the work of artists Robert Pier-santi and Kayt Hester in the group show “SOUND AND VISION” at the Paul Vin-cent Gallery in Hoboken. “The paintings that are in the Hoboken show expound on the central tenet of playwright Martin Esslin, whose writings
focused on the meaning-lessness and incongruity of life,” Waks says. “The paintings ‘re-contextualize’ the icons and emblems common amongst disparate human civilizations by utilizing paint, text,
advertising imagery and events plucked straight from the newspaper. Con-sumption and the ubiquity of consumer culture are at the heart of these works, but there is a pervasive

FLAMIN’ GROOVIES’ GROOVE ON
Bassist George Alexander talks upcoming Jersey City Gig and 50 years Playing Rock
By Darren Paltrowitz If you ask five people how they first learned about the Flamin’ Groov-ies, you’ll probably get five different answers. For some people, their introduction was Cracker covering the Groovies’ “Shake Some Action” for the Clueless soundtrack. For others it may have been decades earlier when Mick Jagger referred to the Groovies’ Teenage Head as his
favorite of album of 1971. But regardless when you found out about the band, they helped inspire a lot of key punk and power pop artists. It’s been 50 years since the Flamin’ Groovies formed in San Francisco, their lineup still includes Cyril Jordan, Chris Wilson and George Alexander from their “classic” lineup; Vic-tor Penalosa joined a few years ago on drums.
The River View Observer had the opportunity to do some Q&A with bassist Alexander in advance of the Groovies’ November 21st show at Jersey City’s Monty Hall. Alexander had some great words to offer when asked about “other projects” of his. 2016 is slated to bring the first new Flamin’ Groovies album in over 30 years, and a long-in-the-works documentary

DECONSTRUCTING CONSUMERISMWaks Cont’d from page 2 ambivalence that lies with-in.” Waks’ works have been exhibited in galleries in New Jersey and New York, including two highly suc-cessful solo exhibitions in 2010. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Jersey City Museum, and Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide, part of one of the largest public relations agencies, recently acquired several of his paintings for its collection. Waks holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. and a law degree fromTemple University - JamesE. Beasley School of Law.He clerked at the SuperiorCourt in Paterson, did a stintin politics, and now seems toenjoy his time as artist andarts administrator; he joinedthe Hudson County Cultural
Arts team in February. “If anyone wants to do a film in Hudson, I work with the producer,” Waks says. “If they need to use a county park or courtroom, I help them with the location. Our office does a lot of program-ming for Black History Month; Women’s History Month; and we do art shows. We have a show up right now by children from St. Jo-seph’s School for the Blind. It’s great.” Waks has earned several Print fellowships including one from the Printmak-ing Center of New Jersey, Bridgewater, in 2012; and in 2008, he was named a New Jersey Print and Paper Fel-low at the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions, Rut-gers University. He holds a law degree and is a member of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Bar As-sociations, but these days Waks prefers creating art and
working with artists in dif-ferent media, he says. “It affords me more time to express my creative side,” Waks says. Although he prefers the work to speak for itself; Waks says his art should not be misconstrued as preachy or dogmatic. “I poke fun at consumer-ism but I own six pairs of sneakers, so I’m as guilty as

the next guy,” Waks says. Sure, consumerism seems to have taken over our lives, but sometimes you just have to laugh at the excess. “I try to get my points across with some humor, for sure,” Waks says. “In a lot of my work, I use images, icons that are common, familiar to us. I re-contextualize them, put them in a different light and a different context. I think this stuff is affecting us psychologically. I’m trying to get into people’s minds.” On his website, joewaks.com, Waks sums up his ar-tistic vision this way: “…My work reflects our universal consumerist ethos by captur-ing the icons and emblems common amongst diverse human civilizations and
underscores my passion for politics and popular culture. I utilize paint, text in vari-ous languages, newspapers, maps, metal leaf, product packaging and numerous other dispos-able items to create layered images depicting America’s strong tradition of unbridled consumption and its wobbly relationship with the remain-der of the planet…Although my art echoes that of Andy Warhol, Edward Ruscha, Richard Hamilton and Allan D’Arcagelo, it takes its cue more from Aunt Jemima than Jasper Johns; Pabst Blue Ribbon more than James Rosenquist.”If you go:Sound and VisionPaul Vincent Gallery49 Harrison St, HOBwww.joewaks.com

Cont’d from cover conserved from the ship and the “debris fi eld” sur-rounding where it sank. Through photographs, artifacts, and backstory, the exhibit offers visitors a poignant peek into the lives of some of the ship’s pas-sengers and the items they brought with them for their ill-fated journey. “The Titanic is such a powerful piece of world history,” Paul Hoffman, Liberty Science Center President and CEO says. “The moving human stories will surely capture our visitors’ imaginations, but the technological feats involved in the ship’s con-struction and rediscovery make this exhibit ideal for the Center.” There have been several exhibits of the Titanic over the past 15 years, and more
than 22 million people have seen this exhibition in museums from Chicago to Los Angeles, and Paris to London. RMS Titanic, Inc. is the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck of the Titanic. The company was granted Salvor-in-Possession rights to the wreck site of Titanic by a U.S. federal court in 1994 and since then it has con-ducted seven research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic rescuing more than 5,500 artifacts. Located on the Jersey City waterfront adjacent to Liberty State Park, LSC houses 12 museum exhibi-tion halls, a live animal collection with 110 spe-cies, giant aquariums, a 3D theater, the nation’s largest IMAX Dome Theater, live simulcast surgeries, tornado
and hurricane-force wind simulators, K-12 class-rooms and labs, and teach-er-development programs. Dedicated to bringing the excitement of science to people of all ages, more than half a million students, teachers, and parents visit the Science Center each year, and tens of thousands more participate in the Center’s offsite and online programs. LSC is the most visited museum in New Jersey and the largest interactive sci-ence center in the NYC-NJ metropolitan area.TOUCHSTONES TO THE PAST“Titanic: The Artifact Exhi-bition” features fragments of stories and artifacts, a minimalism of minutia that includes pieces of crockery; a leather bag, a salesman’s tiny perfume samples, a

STAN KRAUSE TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS IN MUSIC
River View Staff Writer On Sat, Nov. 21, Stan Krause, owner of Stan’s Square Records on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City will celebrate 50 years in the music business as both a record store owner and the owner of Catamount Re-cords, his own record label. Krause who has been in the music business since 1965 has some impressive credits. In the 1960s he was at the forefront of a cappel-la music and recorded local boy-and-girl groups from the Metropolitan area – groups that are considered premiere a cappella singing groups. The Nov. 21 celebration takes place at the Chandelier Restaurant in Bayonne
where Krause’s career will be honored with a buffet, show and dancing from 7 pm until midnight. For a $50 ticket, guests will enjoy an open buffet, performances by several a cappella groups and True Devine and the 1&9 rhythm & blues dance band. In 2014, Krause was recognized for his contribu-tion to Jersey City’s music scene by the City of Jersey City and was presented with a Proclamation by Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop. At the event which was held at Jersey City Hall Council Cham-bers, friends and supporters showed videos clips and speakers gave tributes to Krause and shared their
feelings about his contribu-tion to music. In the book “Acap-pella Street Corner Vocal Groups—A Brief History and Discography,” authors
Stan Krause holding the plaque and citations he received commerating his 50 years in the music business in Jersey City, at Jersey City’s City Hall last year.
Owner of Stan’s Square Records in Jersey City to Celebrate Expansive Music Career
Abe Santiago and Steven J. Dunham said this about the music visionary. “Krause’s work during the early 60s and 70s solidifi ed R&B a cappella as a valid
and legitimate art form,” Santiago and Dunham state in the book. “Although the public, in general, still prefers mainstream music, a number of his groups gained not only regional and national recognition but international as well.”If you goSat, Nov. 21, 7 pm-MidnightStan Krause’s 50th Anniversary CelebrationBuffet, Dinner Dance at the Chandelier Restaurantin Bayonne To purchase tickets, go to Stan’s Square Records, 737 Bergen Ave, JCFor ticket info, call (201) 653-5681 or (201) 985 -8800.

Cont’d from page 5 which makes the experi-ence very human. The story of the Titanic is more than just the story of an ocean liner buried in a watery grave. The exhibit focuses on the RMS Titanic’s human stories told through au-thentic artifacts and room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was travel-ing to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, the bell from the Ship’s crow’s nest – these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever changed.
DIORAMAS, PEOPLE’S STORIES Entering the exhibit, visitors are taken back in time to 1912, with each vis-itor receiving a board pass of an actual passenger on the Titanic’s manifest. Visi-tors then begin a chrono-logical journey through the life of the Titanic, moving through the ship’s construc-tion, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amaz-ing artifact rescue efforts. Through dramatic photographs and dioramas, the exhibit offers visitors a multi-media experience into the world of the Titanic. Dioramas of First-and-Third Class cabins are on display.(Photos on page 5 ) There’s a small slab of iceberg where visitors can place their palms to feel just how frigid the water was that night. .
(Pictured: Mini Iceberg) Throughout the exhibit, passengers’ and the ship’s artifacts are displayed like a pair of suspenders, and the slippers of passenger Edgar Samuel Andrew, a citizen of Argentina. Only 17, Andrew had just completed his studies in England and was traveling to New York for his brother’s wedding.
(Pictured: Made of animal skin and lined with wool, Edgar Samuel Andrew’s slippers were found in a suitcase.) In the “Memorial Gal-lery” visitors can take their boarding pass to the me-morial wall and discover whether their passenger and traveling companions survived or perished. Titanic: The Artifact Ex-hibition” is for all ages; and on a recent Friday, families with children of all ages were getting tickets. Travis Li, 12, of Princeton was there with his family. When asked what he thinks of the exhibit, Travis says:
“It’s sad. The stories of the people are sad.” Alison Cheang, 13, of Marlboro, describes the exhibit as fascinating. “I especially like the stories,” Alison says, “and the artifacts. The things that were in their bags.” Brian Piperi of Metuchen brought his three children to see “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” based on the suggestion of one of his youngsters. “I thought it was excel-lent,” Piperi says. “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” will be at LSC through May 2016.

Two Interesting Facts About the Titanic •Canceled Lifeboat DrillOriginally, a lifeboat drill was scheduled to take place on board the Titanic on April 14, 1912 - the day the Titanic hit the iceberg. However, for an unknown reason, Captain Smith canceled the drill. Many believe that had the drill taken place, more lives could have been saved.
• The Titanic’s NewspaperThe Titanic seemed to have everything on board, includ-ing its own newspaper. The Atlantic Daily Bulletin was printed every day on board the Titanic. The newspaper in-cluded news, advertisements, stock prices, horse-racing results, society gossip, and the day’s menu.

New Traffi c Pattern Allows Direct Daytime Access to Avenue A from Route 440 Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis an-nounced that a new daytime, weekday traffi c pattern will allow motorists direct access to Avenue A from Route 440. This new pattern took effect on Monday, November 2, at the request of Mayor Da-vis. Previously, drivers were forced to do a U-turn at 5th Street, due to the reconstruc-tion of the Bayonne Bridge. Now, during the daytime, motorists driving southbound on Route 440 will be able to
proceed directly to the Avenue A exit ramp. Mayor Davis said, “I asked the Port Author-ity for this new traffi c pattern, so that residents who live on the west side of Bayonne would be able to get home more easily.” The new daytime traffi c pattern will be in effect on weekdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., when the Bayonne Bridge is closed. When the bridge is open on weekdays, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., motorists may leave Route
440 in Bayonne from any available exit. After the bridge closes again for over-night construction from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on week-nights, southbound motorists on Route 440 will have to do a U-turn at 5th Street. The Avenue A exit ramp will not be available during overnight construction periods. The new traffi c pattern will reduce the number of trucks going onto 5th Street in the daytime on week-days.

A Classy Bistro for Steaks, Seafood & Great ServiceBy Sally Deering
Tucked into the pocket of a brownstone on Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, Edward’s Steakhouse offers a relaxing oasis from the busy on-the-go vibe of downtown Jersey City. A classy dining experience far from the fast-food crowd, Edward’s Steakhouse sets the mood as soon as you enter, and it transports you to a place where dining can be intimate and class comes with the service. Edward’s Steakhouse is where you bring your sig-nificant other on a date; and your mom out for Mother’s Day. It’s where you treat yourself to fine dining by Chef Louis Laico, Jr. (of Laico’s on Terhune Ave. in Jersey City). Upon enter-ing, the first sight is a long polished dark wood bar that goes the length of the room. Guests can then move to the first floor dining room or go upstairs to a second dining room, both adorned in a simple elegance with tables covered in white linen cloths. Tom Harris, who man-ages the restaurant with five partners describes the restaurant as a classic New York-style steakhouse. “The larger steaks, the wood, the big red wines, the ambience, all those things make it a New York-style steakhouse,” Harris says. “One of our signature dishes is a 22-ounce dry aged bone-in rib eye. It’s an excellent dish.”
Like a New York Steak-house, the steaks and chops are the stars of the show and served a la carte. Side dishes are also on the menu. Here are some highlights Steaks: Filet Mignon: ($32-$50). Dry Aged 20oz Kansas City Sirloin, bone-in sirloin, dry aged a minimum of 28 days ($48). New York Sirloin Steak ($42-$44). Dry Aged Porterhouse ($60-$105). Surf and Turf: 12oz filet mignon, broiled 6oz cold water lobster tail, drawn butter, jasmine rice, hari-cot verts ($80). Vegetar-ian Plate: Chef’s selection of fresh vegetables with choice of rice or potato ($25). Seafood dishes include Chilean Sea Bass ($30). Sea Scallops ($32). Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna ($34). Stuffed Shrimp ($35). Twin South African Cold Water Lobster Tails ($58). Seafood at a steakhouse, seems like an oxymoron, but Harris says a steak-house is the best place to get great seafood because it’s always fresh. “We have excellent sea-food dishes,” Harris says. “Our seafood is delivered fresh daily.” Along with Soups, Salads and Sides, there’s a Raw Bar with Clams on the Half Shell ($1.50 per); Oysters ($2.75 per); Shrimp Cocktail ($22); Crabmeat Cocktail ($15); and the Sampler for Two ($35). Edward’s Steakhouse received some great
cuisine in a small, quietplace that does it right. Perfect for dates and friendly gatherings.” ML of Jersey City had this to say on Yelp: “If you are looking for a true restaurant experience with great food, experienced waitstaff and perfect ambi-ance, check out Edward’s. It is old school without being stuffy or boring, like steakhouses can sometimes be. We had a party of 13 people and the service was outstanding. Waitstaff checked on the table often without being annoying. The food was perfect - we had a wide range of orders from seafood to vegetarian options to, of course, steak and it was all delish and cooked right to order. The waiter recommended the sharing seafood appetizer and it was outstanding. We didn’t have dessert this time around but when we do have dessert there, I love their icebox cake!” “We draw people from City Hall, businesses on the waterfront, and in the neighborhood,” Harris says, grabbing a coffee before the Saturday night dinner crowd arrives. “We serve the business diner, the corporate diner and locals. We have a lot of regulars.” The reason Edward’s Steakhouse attracts attracts regulars can only be one thing, Harris says: “The food is No. 1 and then its customer service. Most of our staff has been here

Through Nov. 20: YOUR MOVE: DANCE PHOTOG-RAPHY EXHIBITION & COMPETITION. “The 2015 Your Move Dance Photogra-phy Exhibition & Competition is presented in conjunction with the 6th Annual Your Move Modern Dance Festi-val. Art House Productions is the parent organization to the Your Move Modern Dance Festival, New Jersey’s longest running annual modern dance event.

PAUL VINCENT GALLERY, 49 Harrison Street (Observer Highway, HOB. (973) 464-1893. Now Showing: Works by Robert Piersanti, Kayt Hester and Joe Waks in the group show “SOUND AND VISION”. Joe Waks says of his work: “The paintings that are in the Hoboken show expound on the central tenet of playwright Martin Esslin, whose writings focused on the meaningless-ness and incongruity of life. The paintings ‘re-contextu-alize’ the icons and emblems common amongst disparatehuman civilizations by utiliz-ing paint, text, advertising imagery and events plucked straight from the newspaper. Consumption and the ubiquity of consumer culture are at the
heart of these works, but there is a pervasive ambivalence that lies within.”
ISSYRA GALLERY, Is-syra Gallery, 300 Observer Highway, HOB. (917) 922-690/, (201) 459 -0700; www.issyragallery.com. Now showing:MARRIAGE by Amira Karaoud, Mark James and Issa Sow. “This unique show puts the concept into practice. Marriage is the careful and harmonious as-sembly of Amira Karaoud’s touching photography with Mark James’ vibrant work with a splash of Issa Sow’s audacious creativity. Amira is a Tunisian artist photog-rapher. Her artwork takes a critical view on social, cultural and environmental issues, deconstructing the rules of a modern society that breaks values and put limits and barriers on different ethnic groups, gender and culture; treat-ing them less important.”

Cont’d from page 3 titled The Incredible Flamin’ Groovies Movie.
RVO: What do you wish more people knew about the Flamin Groovies?GL: We have always been a sort of enigma to the music scene. On the one hand, we have been portrayed as being “out of step” or “out of sync” with the current music scenes of the time. Yet, looking back later on in our career, we have now been credited by others as being forerunners of the punk rock and power pop genres. A strange juxtaposi-tion. Actually, if you listen to our albums you may notice we play a variety of styles based on the major musical infl u-ences in our lives, mostly of the ‘50s and ‘60s bands and artists. I think listening to our albums is more like hearing a jukebox selection of songs rather than a one-dimensional format of music. Our songs represent on the whole a history of rock ‘n’ roll from our perspective. Not count-ing our cover material, if you listen closely you can discern who or what our major infl u-ences are in each song.
RVO: When did you per-form last in New Jersey?
GL: Our last performance in Jersey, I believe, was in Hoboken at Maxwell’s in July 2013.
RVO: Did you play in Jer-sey before that?GL: I can’t say for sure whether we played in Jersey prior to that. My memory gets vague when I try to think back 30 or 40 years. I believe Cyril played with Roy Loney and the A-Bones at Maxwell’s around 2009.
RVO: What do you expect from playing at Monty Hall?GL: Of course, I’m hoping for a good turnout of fans and for new people to come and check us out. What excites me is when the audience is into what we do and the energy fl ows back and forth. We are all there to have fun and maybe even be inspired by the event, hopefully so.
RVO: What’s your favorite song to play live?GL: Our set is composed of some of our favorites selected from each of our recorded albums. However, “Let Me Rock,” which is the fi rst songCyril and Chris wrote togeth-er, gets me off pretty good. We never offi cially recorded that
song until recently and it will be included in our new album.
RVO: Beyond the Groov-ies, do you have any other projects going on?GL: Until the band reformed, I was basically living the life of a retired person. My main concern -- if you can call it a project -- has been to focus on my well-being. By that I mean learning what it takes to be content with who you are, where you are and what you’re doing with your time. Try making a list of fi ve or 10 things that are important to your life and then see if you can schedule doing those things every day, as opposed to just the mundane things you do on a daily basis. For example, doing things to maintain your health or inter-acting with a family member might be included on your list. Or engaging in a creative activity or perhaps doing something that enhances your fi nancial stability. In any case, I recommend making your own list and sticking to it until it becomes a habit of doing what’s important to your life every day. Don’t ignore those things which give value to your well-being.RVO: Do you have a favor-ite album of 2015?
GL I don’t have a favorite, although an occasional song or artist may capture my at-tention for a while. But when I do listen to music, it varies in style. I might get off hear-ing something from the Foo Fighters or Taylor Swift or even Andrea Bocelli, who Ihave tickets to see in Decem-ber. I like good music fromany genre. As John Sebastian
once said: “If the music is groovy, you know you really can’t say no.”
