SUMMARY:Hereabouts
DESCRIPTION:A selection of self-taught Memphis artists\nOpening Reception: Friday\, January 8\, 6-9 pm\nPerformance & Panel Discussion: Saturday\, January 9\, 2 pm\nOn view January 7-10\, noon-6 pm\nOrganized by Mary Jo Karimnia & Linda Pelts in partnership with Crosstown Arts & the Church Health Center \nSelf-taught artists are a hot commodity in today’s art world. In a 2013 article in the Atlantic\, Sarah Boxer writes\,”[Artwork by self-taught artists] is being enthusiastically embraced—one might say swallowed whole—by the contemporary-art world.” \nThis fresh and provocative work comes from everywhere: from small towns in Italy to pulpits in Georgia\, and our our own Memphis backyard. Hereabouts showcases four artists–Franco Camarillo\, Winnie Shields AKA Miisreal\, Theolia\, and Michael Watson–who make artwork that is genuine to their experiences but without the (sometimes) burden of an arts education. Their work is raw\, passionate\, and insightful\, and brings together experiences near and far. These local visionaries see things and re-present them to us through their own unique lenses. \nTed Norwood aka Theolia  was born in Benton County\, Mississippi and raised in Memphis. He left for the bright lights of Chicago as a young\, 17 year old\, high school drop-out and made a name for himself in the world of high-end menswear. He spent 60 fulfilling years working his way up the ladder at Saks Fifth Ave and Bloomingdale’s on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. After returning to Memphis in the early 1990’s\, Theolia was the unfortunate victim of a house fire in 2005 which left him scared and stiff. Through his many adventures Theolia managed to make artwork. He uses mostly oil or soft pastels and his own fingers to create landscapes and scenes from his life\, from photos and from his imagination. He works mostly on cardboard pizza boxes and other scrap boards in vivid\, life-affirming colors. Currently\, Theolia works mostly out of the art room at the local Lewis Senior Center. \nWinnie Shields aka Miisreal began creating collages in 2011 from materials that fall across her path including scrap fabrics\, tissue boxes and ribbons. She looks for patterns and symbols to inform her work making figures and interior scenes. A common theme is a female or bride image that comes from a spiritual insight and represents her experience as a bride of God. The figures often float in a celestial way and often contain light and heart shapes. She sometimes makes figures of a little girl to represent innocence and her feeling of still being a small child in many ways although she is in her sixties. Shields was born in Senetobia\, MS and moved to Memphis as a ten year old. She also writes poetry and books and keeps a close relationship with her family. \nMichael Watson has been making artwork for over 20 years out of whatever he can find. He sculpts heads from junk mail\, uses old chop sticks for paint brushes and loves to layer collage bits and images under and between layers of acrylic medium. Michael was born in England when his father was in the service\, was raised in Jackson\, MS and now makes Memphis his home. He is influenced by Italian Zombie movies and his favorite B-movie actresses often appear in his work. He is an expert in hallucinogenic mushrooms and works sporadically doing odd jobs to buy beer and sometimes groceries. His friend Chris Garner from Garner Picture Framing helps Michael store and sell his work. \nFranco Camarillo (Franco Florencio Camarillo Villavicencio) was born in 1933 in Oaxaca\, Mexico. He grew up on a farm and worked hard from a very early age. He studied Civil Engineering in Mexico City\, married and had three children. The family moved to the United States for the children to continue their education. Franco began drawing while earning his bachelors degree and it has been an integral part of his life since. The first drawings he made were “Mascaras” (masks) for the the dancers who make parties very cheerful in his hometown. This early influence can be seen in the faces he continues to draw today. Franco draws on whatever materials he can find including panels cut from cereal boxes. He draws every day with the hope of continual growth. \nImage: Michael Watson

SUMMARY:Microcinema Club: ELLIS
DESCRIPTION:ELLIS starring Robert De Niro\, written by Eric Roth & directed by JR. \npresented by Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts\nco-hosted by Mark Adams & Alan Spearman \nDoors open @ 6:30 pm; film Starts @ 7:00 pm\, with discussion to immediately follow \nMicroCinema Club presents a special screening of the short film ELLIS\, followed by an open discussion with artists Mark Adams\, Penny Karwacz\, Yasmine Omari\, Alan Spearman & Yancy Villa-Calvo on the themes of immigration\, migration and using art to generate sustainable social\, political and cultural change. \nELLIS awakens our collective memory\, taking you back to the early years of Ellis Island through the experience of one immigrant.  Set in the abandoned Ellis Island Hospital complex and using JR’s UNFRAMED art installations\, ELLIS tells the forgotten story of the immigrants who built America. It is the story of the ghosts of our countries past\, the individuals who fled poverty\, discrimination\, and dictatorships\, for a chance at a new life and eerily foreshadows the plight of those who currently seek the same opportunities and safety in this country and other parts of the world.  The short narrative film stars Academy Award® Winner Robert De Niro\, is written by Academy Award® Winner Eric Roth\, and is directed by the artist JR. \nFor more information\, please visit the film’s website: http://www.ellis-themovie.com/. \n#ELLISstory

SUMMARY:Mexicanísimo
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n                 \n\n\n    \nFriday\, November 13: Reception 6-8 pm\, with live performance at 7 pm\nSaturday\, November 14: Paintings on view 11 am-5 pm\, with artists talk at 2 pm \nOrganized by Yancy Villa Calvo and the artists \nMexico and Memphis will come together for a multimedia fusion exhibit where Aztec rhythm and classical arts will intersect through expressionism abstract paint and video. \n“Mexicanísimo” is a new exhibit by four Mexican-born\, Memphis resident artists that sets the stage for the intersection of pre-colombian Aztec rhythm and the classical arts. Memphis is the home of opera singer Bethania Baray\, Aztec dancer Agustín Díaz\, ballet dancer Alberto Gaspar and visual artist Yancy Villa-Calvo. \n“We come together to portray the beauty of our roots and what we bring to the Memphis community as Mexican immigrants\,” says Villa-Calvo who has lived in Memphis for 20 years. Gaspar\, a company member of Ballet Memphis adds\, “Our work is not restricted or limited to folklore. We like to be identified first and foremost as artists.” However\, in this show they are focusing on their heritage\, hence the title of the exhibition. “We are showcasing the contributions that Mexican artists bring to the Mid-South\, which is seldom talked about\,” says Baray. \nThe exhibit features artwork by Villa-Calvo\, which includes canvases that have been painted by Gaspar’s and Díaz’s feet while dancing classical ballet and moving to Aztec rhythms. Villa-Calvo then interjected painting strokes to capture the musical variations of Baray’s opera singing\, which helped bring all four art forms (opera\, ballet\, painting\, and Aztec dance) together. In addition\, an installation by Brazilian videomaker André Silveira will feature the creative inspiration provided by the interaction of the artists. \nAccording to Díaz\, this is a modern representation of the Ollin\, an Aztec glyph that represents “the search of unity and balance – the movement of a universal understanding among the opposites.” At a time when Mexican immigrants are perceived by some as “liabilities” and fitted often into stereotypes\, the artists invite the Memphis community to be amazed and discover the unexpected. \nFamilies are welcome\nFree Admission \n

SUMMARY:Words Matter
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Words Matter \nThe Words Matter art show is bringing local writers\, artists and performers together. Six groups of Mid-South creatives have been putting together multimedia works that will be presented on Thursday\, November 12th at Crosstown Arts. \nThis is an event where process and product will be on display. Each of the six projects began with words – a literary contribution from a writer. From there\, a combination of artists and performers extended that creation in their own media – visual artists\, musicians\, dancers\, actors and filmmakers found collective expression and inspiration from the language. \nMemphis has been making some bold and exciting collaborations across artistic disciplines and we want to be a leader to encourage that. Other than the project starting with the written word\, there were no rules. The artists were free to do their art. \nThis event benefits Literacy Mid-South.

SUMMARY:Another Life
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 30\, 6-9 pm\nFeaturing work by Andrea Morales\, Yasmine Omari\, Louis “Ziggy” Tucker\,  Stephanie Wexler\, and a collaboration by Carla Worth & Andrew Gafford. \n“Life and death are mirrors. To talk about one is to talk about the other\, despite the distance in the language between them: life with its fragility\, versus death and its finality. \n\nWe choose to remember because we want to feel who we loved that came and passed before us. It’s for our own benefit to do so. We keep the dead alive in our dreams and photographs. We see them where we used to live\, we see them where they were last seen. We see them as we last saw them. Our circles grow closer\, tighter and are sometimes preserved and strengthened by death. \nWhy we come to life\, how we leave at death\, how we are remembered: our questions shape the narrative of the ultimate. We turn the questions into rituals. Chief among them is our memory. \nIt’s a comfort that the world does not empty of people. We welcome the ghosts as evidence of life. This show collects works that examine that memory through photography\, video and mixed media by a group of local artists.” – Andrea Morales \n\nCo-curated by Andrea Morales in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nImage:\nINDIANOLA\, MS – May 29\, 2015: at the public viewing for B.B. King at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center on Friday morning.\nCredit: Andrea Morales for The New York Times

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: A View From Above\, the Art & Craft of Drone Cinematography
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30 pm | Presentation: 7 pm \nCrosstown Arts and Indie Memphis invite you to look skyward\, toward the increasingly popular world of aerial drone cinematography. With the advent of more affordable tech\, snagging high-flying shots in your low-budget short or commercial project is no longer a pie-in-the-sky dream.  \nFor this edition of Shoot & Splice\, we’re discussing what it takes to be an aerial maverick with three of the best drone cinematographers in Memphis.\n \n\nPANELISTS \nWIL “HYPE” EVANS \nWil “Hype” Evans is a highly skilled producer\, UAV/drone pilot\, USAF veteran and part of the team at House of Shoots. At 15\, he began producing television shows and commercials in the Memphis area\, alongside his Emmy-winning brother\, Rahn. To earn money for college\, he joined the USAF at 18\, where he received a wide variety of training in mechanics and communication. After his service\, Wil harnessed his diverse interests\, skills and military experience to become an entrepreneur in the world of video/tv production\, eventually finding aerial film a perfect match.  \nHis aerial film credits include music videos with artists such as Future and Hot Boys rapper\, Turk\, as well as television shows like So You Think You Can Dance. Hype has a high-energy personality and a keen attention to detail. A club DJ by hobby\, he has a love for music and never stops dancing. (Some may call him hyper-active.) \nRYAN GOBLE \nRyan Goble is a Memphis-based Director of Photography well-versed in lighting\, sound and editing with over 17 years of experience shooting everything from Emmy/Academy Award-winning documentaries to commercial productions to reality television. His gear of choice for aerial filming are CineStar copters and Jimmy Jibs.  \nAARON JAFFE \nBorn and raised in Memphis\, Aaron Jaffe has an extensive background in marketing\, management and creative direction\, which makes him an excellent fit to bring the Flyral concept to the Mid-South. The company successfully launched in July of 2014 as a drone services startup and transformed into a multi-faceted content marketing company in 2015\, with the addition of graphic design\, branding and digital marketing services. With a portfolio featuring clients such as Volvo\, AEP River Operations\, Pannattoni Development\, Crown Winery\, CB Richard Ellis\, West Clinic and the Shopping Center Group\, Flyral has proven that the sky is not the limit\, just a source of endless possibility.  \nAaron earned his BA and MSBA from the University of Memphis and has held leadership positions in the startup\, healthcare\, technology and marketing fields ever since. A lifelong creative\, he is an experienced graphic designer and proficient in a wide variety of Adobe Creative Cloud programs. \nDiagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic at the age of three\, Aaron also spends time speaking to Diabetic groups throughout the US about his accomplishments\, challenges and experience as an endurance athlete. When not working or traveling\, he can usually be found trail running or spending time with his loving family: wife\, Devon; daughter\, Ellis; and son\, Owen. \n
