  • Potluck

    East Atrium, Crosstown Concourse 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    Collaborative exhibition of place setting-inspired art. At a typical potluck, individuals are asked to contribute a shared food item. But in this case, individuals were invited to bring to the table their individual interpretation of a meal’s structural elements: a place setting. Altogether, these unique place settings create a large-scale collaborative table-top installation, a collective visual feast.

  • Art/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response

    Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Art/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response is a multidisciplinary project organized by visual culture historian Dr. Earnestine Jenkins and artist Richard Lou in collaboration with Crosstown Arts. Through this project, local artists collectively explore intersections of race and systemic violence through the lens of cultural expression. Conceived to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ell Persons’ very public murder by members of the Memphis community through the act of lynching, the project was further inspired by recent events to memorialize lynching sites in the broader Memphis community in an effort to bring about greater understanding of racial oppression and violence in the South.

  • Lavender’s Landscape

    Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Anthony Lee
    Latex and Urethane on Panel, Triptych, 2017

    Composing a triptych, these works by artist Anthony Lee are a continuous, long-scale, lavender tonal gradient, equal in light value but demonstrating the effect of desaturation. Viewed from left to right, it begins as  intense lavender, and then through gradation it finishes into its grey equivalent. This adds a fourth-dimensional sense of movement or transfer within the works, allowing the viewer’s eyes to calmly experience the space in the works as they seemlessly shift color.

  • Art/Race/Violence: Artist + Community Conversation

    Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Conversation with artist teams Lisa Williamson and Lurlynn Franklin; Carl Moore and Karina Alvarez; Brittney Bullock, Agustin Diaz, and Brenda Joysmith; co-curator Richard Lou, and Professor Holly Yu. Moderated by Dr. Earnestine Jenkins.
