They turned an eyesore into a delightful sculpture garden which hosted many concerts, lectures and dance performances in addition to being a thought provoking labyrinth to wander through. <div><br /></div><div>The film is 70 minutes long. The DVD's bonus tracks include 2 short films by Chris Allen. One is "Writers Block", focusing on the folly garden which was installed in 2004 in the same space as Quark Park.  The other is "Herban Garden", another intriguing garden project from the mind of Peter Soderman.  The disc's other bonus tracks feature Rob Goldston and Ron Berlin. Rob talks about climate change and the challenge of bringing greenhouse gases down in a world of expanding energy needs, by applying science in creating new, clean forms of energy, specifically, the stellarator.  Ron discusses the pyramid on the dollar bill which inspired his Writers Block folly, explaining the symbolism of this early American symbol and how it relates to the concept of 'liberal patriotism'.</div><div><br /></div><div>Read Anthony Stoeckert's review here: http://www.packetinsider.com/blog/movie/?p=41</div><div><br /></div><div>"Cast" includes: Paul Muldoon, Emily Mann, Rush Holt, Shirley Tilghman, Rob Goldston, James McPherson, Peter Singer, Paul Schimmel, David Dobkin, Lincoln Hollister, Alan Goodheart,  Tracey Shors, Perry Cook, Ge Wang, Jeff Nathanson, Jon Shor, Ron Berlin, Rein Triefeldt, Nancy Cohen, Carol Critchlow, George Scherer, Bob Kuster, Robert Cannon, David Newton, Naomi Leonard, Steve Weiss, Dolph Geurds, Carlo Momo, Bob Hughues, James Chavel and Kate Graves.</div><div><br /></div><div>DVD copies are available for $17.00. <br /></div><div>Add $3.00 shipping and handling.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">PayPal</span>: Use Seller ID of chrisallenfilms@comcast.net</div><div><br /></div><div>or send check or m.o. to:</div><div><br /></div><div>Chris Allen Films</div><div>28 Wilson Road</div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Lambertville</span>, NJ 08530</div><div><br /></div><div>For further information, contact chrisallenfilms@comcast.net</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8514291026369737074-4602046302493296585?l=quarkparkmovie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Quark Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14531657204346050649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514291026369737074.post-79288450041574975852009-06-16T13:28:00.000-07:002009-06-16T16:37:12.503-07:00<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/45VIYc4lsxE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/45VIYc4lsxE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8514291026369737074-7928845004157497585?l=quarkparkmovie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Quark Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14531657204346050649noreply@blogger.com0
