SUMMARY:Summer Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Three new exhibitions at Crosstown Arts\, featuring works by Barbara Penn\, George Edward Walker\, and Romain Collin in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Palmer. \nIn Big Life\, Long Life\, Barbara Penn draws from literary\, poetic\, and everyday sources to explore the space between the personal and the political. Working with painting\, drawing\, text\, and collage\, Penn examines the relationship between “the maternal and culture\,” creating layered images that emerge through associative thinking\, ironic connections\, and bold yet subtle applications of paint. \nGeorge Edward Walker’s A Snippet of God’s Unsung Children’s Journey is a powerful visual statement on resilience\, brilliance\, and strength. Through drawings inspired by the enduring spirit of people who persevered through dehumanizing and brutal treatment\, Walker reflects on dignity\, survival\, and the determination to be free. The exhibition stands as a tribute to “our brave Women and Men” and the resilience that continues to prevail. \nIn Chromesthesia: A Piano Triptych\, Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Romain Collin\, in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Palmer\, transforms sound into image through a deeply personal exploration of synesthesia. Inspired by his solo piano trilogy DUST\, LIVE\, and AURA\, the multimedia exhibition invites viewers into an internal landscape where sounds become shapes\, textures\, and vivid color. By placing music in dialogue with cinema and visual art\, Chromesthesia creates a space to breathe\, recollect\, and dream a little.

A graduate of the University of Memphis\, Harris became the school’s first jazz guitar instructor and has since built a dynamic career as a performer\, arranger\, recording engineer\, and mentor.\nHe has toured internationally\, recorded string arrangements\, and shared the stage with artists from Paris to Morocco. Locally\, he’s the founder of World Soul Project\, teaches music in Memphis schools\, and plays regularly with the Memphis Groovetet on Beale Street.\nABOUT PAT MARTINO\nPat began playing professionally in 1961.

Both his parents and his brother played instruments\, so there was always music in his family setting. He started playing the trumpet at age 8\, and switched to the guitar at age 12. He cites the Beatles\, Miles Davis\, and Wes Montgomery as having the biggest impact on him as a musician. He became the youngest ever faculty member at the University of Miami at age 18\, and then the youngest ever faculty at Berklee College of Music at 19. It was also during his time at Berklee that Pat Metheny began a 3 year collaborative stint with vibraphonist Gary Burton. Pat Metheny’s style is a wide ranging and deep one. His influences come from all areas of music including classical guitar\, rock\, and folk music\, and he displays them all in whatever medium he chooses. Pat Metheny was an early adopter of the synthesizer\, using its sound to the benefit of his music and the music as a whole. He has recorded many albums seminal to jazz\, including Bright Size Life\, Kin\, Pat Metheny Group\, The Way Up\, and Beyond the Missouri Sky only to name a few. He has played with the likes of Jaco Pastorius\, Brad Mehldau\, Charlie Haden\, Lyle Mays\, Mark Egan\, Chris Potter\, John Scofield\, Michael Brecker\, Jack Dejohnette\, McCoy Tyner\, Bill Frisell\, and many others.
