SUMMARY:Microcinema Club: Slamdance Shorts
DESCRIPTION:To follow last month’s Sundance shorts\, we are featuring “anarchy” work from their neighbor SLAMDANCE.  The Slamdance film festival was born out of a DIY oppositional gesture. Their “Anarchy” shorts category is an attempt to recapture the early spirit of the festival. The casual cinephile might associate the Anarchy program with avant-garde\, transgressive\, or underground cinema. It is all of these things and none of them\, it is an anti-genre\, the form of resistance to dominant cultural paradigms. The films value innovation of form\, violation of taboo\, and disdain for institutional modes of representation. \n7 pm doors open | 7:30 pm screening | Pay-what-you can admission | Free food & drinks \nSUPPORTED BY ARTSMEMPHIS AND THE FIRST TENNESSEE FOUNDATION | ARTSFIRST

SUMMARY:Hustle: Pricing your Artwork
DESCRIPTION:Pricing our artwork can leave us fraught with doubt. How do we decide what our work is worth when we are starting out? How and when do we raise prices? Does it matter if the work is sold online\, at a fair\, or though a gallery? Our approach to pricing can effect the local arts economy and what others can charge for their work. How do we price responsibly? \nJoin us for a discussion with Robert Hollingsworth\,  Kenny Wayne Alexander\, and Jim Masterson to explore various perspectives on pricing artwork as well as commissions and other types of projects. \nProgram begins at 6 pm\nComplimentary food and drinks  \nHustle: professional development for artists is a free program organized by ArtsMemphis\, UrbanArt Commission\, and Crosstown Arts. The series will provide visual artists with information\, resources\, and opportunities to support them in the development of their professional careers.

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Examining Video Art
DESCRIPTION:A Method to the Madness: Examining Video Art\nTraditionally Shoot & Splice has explored technique rooted in narrative\, documentary\, and commercial film and video production\, but this month we will examine the craft of capturing moving images solely to facilitate creative expression. \nJoin accomplished video artists Brian Pera\, Corkey Sinks & Jill Wissmiller for a discussion on the concepts\, production\, and showing of video art. \nBrian Pera‘s films include The Way I See Things\, Woman’s Picture\, and Only Child. The latter two are part of an ongoing series obsessively preoccupied with women he remembers from his childhood. With perfumer Andy Tauer he created a perfume line\, Tableau de Parfums\, the scents of which relate thematically and otherwise to the universe of the films. He’s the author of the novel Troublemaker and co-editor of Life As We Show It: Writings on Film. Currently he’s working on an installation piece called Sorry Not Sorry with Joel Parsons and Terri Phillips. \nCorkey Sinks (b. Dallas\, TX) is an artist based in Memphis\, TN.  Sinks works in a variety of media including sculpture\, textiles\, printed matter\, and video. She received a BA in Media Studies from the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies at the University of Redlands\, CA in 2005 and an MFA in Studio Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012. Sinks is the current artist in residence at Crosstown Arts. She has exhibited work throughout the United States and Mexico. In 2015\, her book\, Demon Baby Project: Events\, Coincidences\, and Repercussions was published by No Coast. Upcoming exhibitions include Artificial Tide\, a solo exhibition at The Packing Plant in Nashville\, TN and We gave Our Best\, Now the Rest is Up to the Hope Chest\, a group show at Im Ersten in Vienna\, Austria. \nJill Wissmiller is a Midwestern farmer’s daughter transplanted to the Midsouth\, where she is Chair of Design and Associate Professor of Digital Media at the Memphis College of Art. Wissmiller’s research and creative work is concerned with nontraditional cinema spectatorship and production. She has recently completed a motion picture manifesto that calls for a strict ban of standard definition video being projected upon anything other than glitter.  Her video work has been screened at a variety of venues both nationally and internationally\, including the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, Palm Springs International Short Film Festival\, Moscow International Film Festival\, and Electrofringe New Media Arts Festival Australia. \n\nPresented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts  \nDOORS OPEN AT 6:30 PM | PANEL DISCUSSION BEGINS AT 7:00 PM | FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

SUMMARY:Duets for Mellotron - Encore
DESCRIPTION:ENCORE PERFORMANCE ADDED: SUNDAY\, APRIL 17\, 7:30 PM \nCrosstown Arts is pleased to present Duets for Mellotron\, a live performance by Jonathan Kirkscey and Robby Grant\, organized in collaboration with Winston Eggleston. \nThis unique performance experience—the world’s first Mellotron duet—features an obscure but ingenious keyboard instrument invented in the 1940s which was designed to reproduce the sound of virtually any acoustic\, electromechanical\, or synthesized instrument. \nThe Mellotron is essentially a giant cassette tape player\, operated manually by pressing keys on a keyboard. When a key is struck\, a prerecorded sound is played/heard\, conceptually making the Mellotron an analog forerunner to digital sampling. \nThe M400 and a new M4000 cycling Mellotron\, from Winston Eggleston’s small but diverse Mellotron collection\, will be played at the performance. Eggleston will also share a series of new site-specific digital projections to complement the music. \nThe collaboration will result in a forthcoming limited-release vinyl recording of the performance and other duets for Mellotron composed by the artists. \nEvent tickets can be purchased in advance\, online for $30 (includes a copy of the record) or $15 (performance only). Capacity is limited. Performance location is Crosstown Arts at 422 N. Cleveland\, Memphis. A complimentary reception will take place prior to the performance. \n\nTICKETS \nDuets for Mellotron\nSaturday\, April 16\, 8 pm doors/8:30 pm show (45 mins)\nCrosstown Arts\, 422 N.

Cleveland\nTickets: $15 / $30 with record \n \n\n\n\nOrganized by Robby Grant\, Jonathan Kirkscey\, and Winston Eggleston \nMore about the Mellotron: \nThe Mellotron is essentially a giant cassette tape player\, operated manually by pressing keys on a keyboard. When a key is struck\, a prerecorded sound is played/heard\, conceptually making the Mellotron an analog forerunner to digital sampling. \nAn American engineer named Harry Chamberlin invented the precursor to the Mellotron in the late 1940s. While playing his Hammond organ\, he wondered if it would be possible to create a keyboard instrument that allowed the player to reproduce a wider range of orchestral and brass sounds. Over the course of many decades and through the hands of several manufacturers and marketers\, the Mellotron’s technology and appearance took many forms. \nWhile the individual instruments sampled for the Mellotron were recorded in the highest available fidelity for the time\, the wow and flutter of the tape playback mechanism\, as well as the ability to affect volume and speed through the relative amount of pressure applied to the keys all contribute to the instrument’s characteristic sound. \nThe iconic sound of the Mellotron has helped shape important moments in the history of modern music\, such as the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever\,” and work by The Moody Blues\, Pink Floyd\, Yes\, Genesis\, and Led Zeppelin\, to name a few. \nMore about the artists/organizers: \nJonathan Kirkscey and Robby Grant have been playing music together for over 10 years with the band Mouserocket. Jonathan also performs with Glorie\, String Theory\, the Memphis Symphony\, and recently scored the documentary “Best of Enemies.” Robby has performed at Crosstown previously with the experimental band\, >mancontrol<. He most recently recorded and released “Let the Little Things Go” under the Vending Machine moniker.

SUMMARY:Open Crit
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts’ Open Crit series\, organized in partnership with ArtsMemphis\, is a monthly critique event where visual artists are invited to bring new and/or in-progress studio work for critical feedback and group discussion particular to each artist’s practice. \nA dedicated facilitator with experience in a group critique setting will guide discussion for each critique event\, which will include up to 4 artists’ work\, with 15-25 minutes devoted to the work of each. \nAll visual artists and anyone interested in joining the discussion are welcome to participate regardless of their level of expertise\, prior professional art experience or background/education in fine art. Participation is free and open to the public. Input during the critiques from everyone in attendance is welcomed and encouraged. \nNo formal preparation is necessary for participating artists\, who will have an opportunity to introduce and contextualize their work on view at the beginning of each critique. Participating artists are only asked to be open to (and interested in) considering reactions to their work by the group\, which will always be done in a supportive\, constructive and casual environment\, but could at the same time be challenging. \n\nTo participate\, artists can sign up here: \nOpen Crit Request form \n  \nArtists are asked to bring no more than 8 individual pieces (in any medium). Maximum run time for time-based work(s) is 10 minutes. \nParticipating artists are encouraged to invite friends\, peers and colleagues to the open crits\, both to see their work in progress and to give constructive feedback. \nOrganized by Crosstown Arts in partnership with ArtsMemphis ArtsAccelerator.
