Colonial hanging wall cupboard in solid curly maple.
This was a great learning project. Its now hanging in our dining room. A few firsts for me; raised panel cut on the tablesaw using a technique that runs the panel perpendicular to the blade raising it in increments, my first handcut dovetail drawer, first molding using 3 passes with 2 different bits for the top, first time using hand forged hinges(they are really well made), first time installing a half morise lock and escutcheon. Curly maple was the only wood used, the back shiplap paneling was resawn on a table saw from 4×4 stock. My bandsaw couldnt do it. I had a picture in a book of a cupboard similar to this so I had to make up the basic dimensions and create a cut list from my drawings. There were times when the wavy grain gave me fits trying to match it up, so I appreciate any comments on my attempt. It was a fun project and if I made another one it would be cherry. The finish is a waterbased dye followed by a pigment stain and topped with wipe on poly. One of these days I will learn how to rub out a finish. I appreciate any critiques good and bad.

1958 Cincinnati Reds “Air Conditioned Fitted Baseball Cap”
What you’re witnessing is fitted cap history. This picture was featured in an old news clipping available for purchase on eBay. Apparently in 1958 the Cincinnati Reds were experimenting with the idea of an “air conditioned” cap. This cap, seen here being worn by Johnny Temple, features “…a water-cooled hand made [sweatband] of aluminum foil [...]

Tim Lee - Solo Quintet (1897-1979)
String Quartet, Op. 1, Glenn Gould, 1955

Lisson Gallery
Lisson Gallery is proud to present Solo Quintet (1897-1979), a new exhibition by Tim Lee. Working with photography, video, text and sculpture, Lee continues to explore his interest in reconstructing and re-imagining seminal moments in art history and popular culture. Often treading the line of the absurd, Lee frequently uses humour as a vehicle to decode specific moments in the lives of various individuals. Drawn from disparate fields, these key figures include Glenn Gould, Buster Keaton, Merce Cunningham, Stanley Kubrick and Neil Young.
In the works on show Lee suggestively inserts himself into key moments in the history of his subjects’ lives. Using a combination of formal strategies, that include cutting, multiplication, splitting and framing, Lee unpicks our knowledge of these individuals, prompting us to consider how the public persona for each is constructed. In doing so he also proposes a relationship between these subjects and potential new ways of reading public figures.
In the four channel video installation String Quartet, Op. 1, Glenn Gould, 1955 Lee turns his attention to the year that the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould recorded both his seminal recording of the Goldberg Variations and published his first and only composition, written not for solo piano, but for a string quartet. Appearing as the four musicians playing the cello, viola and two violins in a performance that was recorded note by note, Lee reflects on our limited awareness of him as a composer while utilising innovative studio recording strategies that Gould perfected later on in his life as a performer.
The disparities that exist in our understanding of Gould are also explored in The Idea of North, Glenn Gould, 1967, a model of a proposed monument that features a tall, narrow column upon which sits the precariously balanced model of Gould leaning back in his famous chair. Acting as a de facto directional compass with Gould’s head facing due north, the monument alludes to his career as a broadcaster and his radio program The Idea of North, a meditation on Northern Canada and its people.
Untitled (Buster Keaton, 1897) depicts Lee as Buster Keaton falling down a flight of stairs. Re-imagining the moment when Joseph Frank Keaton earned the nickname ‘Buster’ from Harry Houdini after tumbling down the stairs aged eighteen months and stoically shaking off the injury, Lee’s film features multiple takes of Lee rolling up a staircase with each frame later edited and sped up in reverse. Projected from a specialised 16mm film looper designed in a step formation, the resulting awkwardness of Lee’s movements evokes the jerky, slapstick quality of Keaton’s silent films in a never ending circuit.
Rust Never Sleeps, Neil Young, 1979 recreates the introduction of Neil Young in the concert film of his live tour. With three 35mm slide projectors—each colour-keyed in red, green and blue—casting the same image, all three projections noisily converge spotlight-like to produce a black and white still image of the artist sleeping on stage with a guitar.
The exhibition also contains two photographic works, the first of which, Untitled (Stanley Kubrick, 1945), replicates a portrait of Stanley Kubrick taken in the mid-40s when he was just beginning his career as a photojournalist. In the photograph, Lee, as Kubrick, appears to be taking a self-portrait of himself in a mirror, an idea that runs counter to our later understanding of the director as recluse. In the second photograph Solo, Merce Cunningham, 1953, Lee appears as choreographer Merce Cunningham during a solo performance, when the public’s perception of modern dance was beginning to crystallise. The image, split and combined into two parts, depicts an uncoordinated picture of an elegant performance, with each part dividing the body in such a way that the performer’s body appears relaxed and at ease in the top and tense and strained below.
