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:Vanilla Extract Volume 2: Fairly Vain or Vanity Fair
DESCRIPTION:New work by Lester Julian Merriweather\nDiscussion/artist talk: Wednesday\, June 15\, 6 pm\nReception: Friday\, June 17\,  6-9 pm\n\n“The Vanilla Extract© Series was established in 2002 as a catalyst for examining the infrastructural practices of racial representation by print media corporations. As found images are collected\, they are then altered with the removal of Caucasian people. This practice works to illustrate the vast disparity in the visual representation of People of Color and highlights the notions created by systemic racism as practiced by print media corporations. The Vanilla Extract© Series works to visually define the endemic nature of racial bias.”\n-Lester Merriweather \n\n“Vanilla Extract\, Volume Two: Fairly Vain and/or Vanity Fair” chronologically marks the fourth installment of The Vanilla Extract© Series. Volume Two is focused on the front covers of Vanity Fair Magazine from 2006-2013. \nExhibition organized by the artist

SUMMARY:The Paw Project Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join Memphis Pets Alive! for a special screening of The Paw Project\, a documentary whose organizational mission is to educate the public about the painful and crippling effects of cat declawing\, to promote animal welfare by ending the practice of declaw surgery\, and to rehabilitate declawed big cats. Doors will open at 6:30 and the film will begin at 7:00 (and last approximately one hour). Light snacks will be available as well as beverages [donations are accepted and encouraged!]. \nPresale tickets will be available for $5.00 and we will sell tickets at the door as well\, but keep in mind seating is limited! Thank you to the Paw Project for allowing us to share this film with the Memphis community and your support in doing so!\n\nABOUT THE FILM\nIn the United States today\, six out of ten pet owners consider their pets to be family members. Today\, 36\,117\,000 households have a pet cat in the home. (” U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics.” U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics. N.p.\, n.d. Web. 22 July 2011.) Currently\, approximately 25% of these cats are declawed. While cat owners are unaware of the true nature of this surgery. They are never told that it is an amputation of the last toe bones in a cat’s paw; and it actually does more harm than good. \nTHE PAW PROJECT is a documentary that takes us inside the issue. Sharing testimony from industry professionals and pet-owners alike\, THE PAW PROJECT examines the emotional and physical cost that a cat pays when declawed; and reveals the profit that the procedure generates for veterinary doctors across the nation. Despite the physical and behavioral harm inflicted on cats that are declawed\, many veterinarians continue to recommend the procedure\, which costs upwards of $900.00 per hour – even for very young kittens. \nVeterinarian Dr. Jennifer Conrad wants it stop. While it often puts her at odds with many in her professional field\, she continues to lead the struggle. Step by step\, the film follows Conrad as she refutes arguments from representatives of the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA)\, and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)\, all in her effort to protect the well being of these felines. THE PAW PROJECT chronicles her journey from her work as an exotic animal veterinarian in Hollywood to legislative hearings\, where she urges elected officials to ban declawing. \nFor more information\, please visit www.pawproject.org.

SUMMARY:Desert Migration (Outflix Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Saved by the introduction of protease inhibitors in the mid-1990s\, many HIV positive men needed to rebuild the lives they thought they’d never be able to live. In an effort to reach equilibrium with the virus inside them\, some migrated to Southern California’s Palm Springs in the hope of finding a healing desert oasis. But is this environment\, with its tolerant population and constant sunshine\, enough to eradicate the grief they carry within them\, and strengthen them against the medications slowly poisoning their bodies? \n\nDirected by Daniel F. Cardone\nUSA | 80 minutes | 2015 \nFilm Screening with panel discussion to follow. \n\n\n\n\nOutflix Ticket Website: http://outflixfestival.org/events/desert-migration/\nMovie Website: www.desertmigrationmovie.com\n Synopsis: http://desertmigrationmovie.com/synopsis

SUMMARY:NJ Woods: House Keys
DESCRIPTION:“House Keys\,” New works by N.J. Woods celebrating one of the most fundamental needs for all people: shelter. This exhibition will feature collages of ordinary wood keys\, a tool made to tighten stretched canvas\, repurposed varying bands of warm colors. N.J.’s genre paintings on canvas will also be on display\, Saturday\, May 7th\, at Crosstown Arts\, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. \nN.J. Woods \nInspired by her Memphis upbringing and Mississippi relatives\, NJ Woods paints scenes of rustic life from memory and imagination. NJ’s distinctive creativity blossomed by watching her father Yancy paint in the middle room of their shotgun home. Where\, as the third born of nine children\, NJ used tempera paint to scribble pictures on the windows. She’s since traded in the tempera for acrylic and window panes\, for canvas.\nNJ grew up in the shotgun littered community of Orange Mound\, the first African-American neighborhood built by African-Americans in the United States. Most of her work revolves around the shotgun house and its imprint on the African-American and Southern experience.\nHer primitive style of painting\, heavily influenced by visits to her Grandma Sarah’s house in Coldwater\, MS and other country relatives\, often reflects the dichotomy of city life juxtaposed with rural traditions and stories. These stories transferred onto the canvas\, typify slices of life during the sharecropping and civil rights eras marked by her adroit use of emotive colors\, folksy compositions and poetic titles. NJ’s subject matter and style is often compared to renowned artists Carroll Cloar and Clementine Hunter.\nAlthough NJ’s been painting professionally for more than 12 years\, just before her work really began to sell she was a home health attendant for several years. Today\, NJ’s work has been shown in several galleries around the country — Tennessee\, Mississippi\, Texas and New York\, to name a few. Her work has been exhibited at Dixon Gallery and Gardens Museum and the Brooks Museum\, both in Memphis\, Tennessee. In August 2008\, NJ was invited to be a guest lecturer for the Lunch and Learn series at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens\, during the Ancestry and Innovation: African American Art from the American Folk Art Museum exhibition. She opened her first temporary pop-up gallery in 2013 through the MEMShop incubation program\, where she introduced and exhibited her own work and art from established and emerging artists to the community in the Broad Avenue Arts district. You can see her latest public art project in her neighborhood\, titled “Headshots”\, an abstract\, geo-centric mural at Jackson and Evergreen in the Vollintine and Evergreen community. NJ plans to do more public art work projects in the future to expand her practice.

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
