SUMMARY:Delta Jewels: Visiting Artist\, Alysia Burton Steele
DESCRIPTION:Event Schedule\n6 pm: Fellowship Hour at story booth (438 N. Cleveland)\n6 pm: Exhibition in the Gallery (422 N. Cleveland)\n7- 9 pm: Program & Book-signing in the Gallery \nCrosstown Arts and The Booksellers at Laurelwood welcome photojournalist Alysia Burton Steele to Memphis to celebrate the publication of Delta Jewels\, her collection of portraits and oral histories of church mothers of the Mississippi Delta. \nThe event is free and open to the public and will include a program and book-signing with the artist\, an art exhibition of photo prints from the book\, live choir music\, food & drinks. Several of the church mothers featured in the book will also be present. \nInspired by memories of her beloved grandmother\, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele–picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team–combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. \nThese ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors\, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways\, and shares the significance of being a Black woman–child\, daughter\, sister\, wife\, mother\, and grandmother in Mississippi–a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book\, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time\, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times. \n\nAlysia Burton Steele has been a photographer for over 25 years and currently teaches photojournalism\, layout and design\, multimedia\, and journalism writing at the University of Mississippi.

SUMMARY:Gil Ngole: Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Displacement: A Deconstructed Sound Journey\nFeaturing the art of Gil Ngole\nThis one night only exhibition features sculptures and sound art created by MCA graduate student Gil Ngole. He creates his foam and fabric sculptures quickly to mirror the rate that people in his home of the Republic of the Congo must make their bundles when they are forcefully displaced. Their bundles hold the food\, clothes\, and necessities they will need to survive away from their homes. His sound art focuses on the noises that displaced people in Central Africa hear while they are fleeing from their homes: the sound of falling feet\, explosions\, and the rattle of food cans. These noises\, coupled with the bundles move the viewers from the role of complacent observer and forces them into an empathetic position where they are experiencing forced displacement. This helps Gil deconstruct the image that western media has put forth about forced displacement. The exhibition will take place on a bus\, the location itself emphasizing the theme of movement and transportation that permeates Gil’s work. \nDisplacement will be on view in the parking lot of Crosstown Art’s Flea Market\, as part of Crosstown’s mission to expose the community to diversity and bring diverse communities together. \nThe exhibition is organized by Sadie Yanckello\, Amaris Prechtel and Mohib Khan\, with support from the Rhodes College Gallery Management class and a Center for Outreach and Development of the Arts (CODA) Grant. \n

SUMMARY:Belongings
DESCRIPTION:An open call exhibition organized by Crosstown Arts and the Cleveland Street Flea Market \nA flea market is filled with unique objects invoking curiosity\, nostalgia\, humor and surprise. A blue and white Pyrex bowl recalls helping Grandma mix stuffing for holidays past. A cut-crystal candy dish reminds us just how much we love that old-world pink color. A darkly framed formula-landscape evokes dreams of scary monsters. A planet-shaped radio\, reflecting design aspects of the early Star Wars days\, reminds us of the exact one we had as a kid\, except in yellow. These objects and curiosities are a ripe cache for inspiration – as is the community at the Cleveland Street Flea Market where some of the vendors have been in business there since the market opened sixteen years ago. \nArtists are invited to participate in the Belongings exhibition by purchasing any object of inspiration from the Cleveland Street Flea Market to transform into (or use as inspiration for) a new work of art. \nAll artists are welcome to participate regardless of their level of expertise or prior art experience. \n***Opening Reception: Friday\, March 27\, 6-9 pm PLUS installation by Mark Nowell at the Cleveland Street Flea Market AND open hours at you+me on view at 422 N.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Jamie Kornegay
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our latest collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood as we welcome Jamie Kornegay to Memphis to read from and sign his first novel\, SOIL. Jamie is also the owner of Turnrow Book Co.\, in Greenwood\, MS\, so please help us celebrate this writer who daily champions other writers in his work as an independent bookseller.With elements of rural noir\, dark comedy and domestic dysfunction\, SOIL – published by Simon & Schuster – is a modern tragedy that pays homage to Mississippi’s great literary tradition — from William Faulkner to Larry Brown and Barry Hannah — and adds a manic dose of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment for good measure. \nDistrustful of modern society\, environmental scientist Jay Mize moves his family off the grid to a stretch of riverbottom farmland in the Mississippi hills\, where he hopes to position himself at the forefront of a revolution in agriculture. After suffering drought\, flood\, pestilence and family turmoil\, Jay uncovers a dead body in his water-logged field. Rather than alert the authorities\, he mounts a paranoid cover-up\, which invites more unwanted trouble to his sacred homestead. \nBeset by a growing madness\, Jay is pitted against his estranged wife\, who has become unhinged by her own trials\, and a local deputy\, whose interest in the family is not strictly in the pursuit of justice. Through a maze of misperceptions and personal obsessions\, these characters endeavor — however clumsily — to uphold their own sense of honor as they tumble toward a showdown in the treacherous mudflats.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Amy Greene
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Booksellers at Laurelwood and Crosstown Arts \nReading and discussion with the author and WKNO’s Darel Snodgrass\nFree admission and refreshments \nAuthor’s website \nReviews of “Long Man” \n“The Tennessee Valley Authority was designed to help modernize the state during the Great Depression\, but [it] only spells destruction for the town of Yuneetah. Greene’s excellent second novel focuses on the holdouts who refuse to leave\, chief among them a husband and wife [whose] 3-year-old daughter goes missing. The lead suspect in her disappearance is a one-eyed Yuneetah native who’s spent much of his life as a drifter connected to violent protests against [the] government. Greene’s [prose] is sinuous and tonally mythic; Gracie’s disappearance\, alongside Amos’ cat-and-mouse game with authorities\, gives the novel a welcome propulsion. Long Man fully inhabits the ironies inherent in destroying a place in the name of progress . . . A smart and moody historical novel that evokes the best widescreen Southern literature.” —Kirkus (starred review)\n\n“Haunting . . . Long Man revisits blue-collar Appalachia with the same lyricism Greene brought to her magnificent first novel\, Bloodroot . . . With searing eloquence\, she seems to channel the frustrations of generations of rural poor in this stark indictment of a government hell-bent on destroying a long-standing community. Her stunning insight into a proud and insular people is voiced with cold clarity and burning anger.” —Joanne Wilkinson\, Booklist (starred review)\n\n“Unforgettable. Like a classical myth\, Greene’s second novel\, set in the summer of 1936\, transforms a period of cataclysmic history into a gorgeous\, tragic tale filled with heroes and heroines . . . Greene’s enormous talent animates the voices and landscape of East Tennessee so vividly\, and creates such exquisite tension\, that the reader is left devastated.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)\n\n“A gem. Long Man is so palpably real that I feel I’ve spent the last few days actually living in Greene’s corner of Depression-era Tennessee. Only a handful of writers can bring a place to life with this much texture\, and bring characters to life in such a visceral manner. These people and this place will live on in my imagination for the rest of my life. Greene is a special writer\, and Long Man is a special book—a beautiful piece of work. How I long for more novels like hers.” —Steve Yarbrough\, author of Prisoners of War and The Realm of Last Chances

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Alan Lightman
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Burke’s Book Store and Crosstown Arts\n  \nMr. Lightman will be reading from and signing copies of his memoir\, Screening Room: Family Pictures ($25.95 hardcover\, Pantheon Books)  \nA Q & A session will be moderated by Memphis historian and author Wayne Dowdy \nFrom the acclaimed author of the international best seller Einstein’s Dreams\, here is a stunning\, lyrical memoir of Memphis from the 1930s through the 1960s that includes the early days of the movies and a powerful grandfather whose ghost remains an ever-present force in the lives of his descendants. Alan Lightman’s grandfather M.A. Lightman was the family’s undisputed patriarch: it was his movie theater empire that catapulted the Lightmans to prominence in the South\, his fearless success that both galvanized and paralyzed his children and grandchildren. In this moving\, impressionistic memoir\, the author chronicles his return to Memphis in an attempt to understand the origins he so eagerly left behind forty years earlier. As aging uncles and aunts begin telling family stories\, Lightman rediscovers his southern roots and slowly recognizes the errors in his perceptions of both his grandfather and his father\, who was himself crushed by M.A. The result is an unforgettable family saga that extends from 1880 to the present\, set against a throbbing century of Memphis–the rhythm and blues\, the barbecue and pecan pie\, the segregated society–and including personal encounters with Elvis\, Martin Luther King Jr.\, and E.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Tim Johnston
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts & Booksellers at Laurelwood present Visiting Writer Tim Johnston \nPlease join us (in collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood) to welcome Crosstown Arts first Visiting Writer for 2015\, Tim Johnston\, to read from and sign his thrilling debut adult novel\, Descent (Algonquin Books). A story that begins as a family’s fated summer trip to the Rocky Mountains quickly reveals itself to be both a gripping page-turner and a satisfying work of literary fiction reflecting on the personal nature of loss and longing from several characters’ perspectives.\nTim’s previous works of fiction include the young adult novel Never So Green (FSG) and the story collection Irish Girl (UNT Press)\, winner of the prestigious Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction\, a collection of which David Sedaris said\, “It’s dark in here\, but brilliant. Tim Johnston is as wise as he is original\, and his stories are impossible to forget.” \nTim Johnston is currently teaching in the Creative Writing Program at the University of Memphis\, where he is the director of the The Pinch Literary Journal. Please help us give him his overdue welcome to Memphis in celebration of this fine work of fiction. \nAs always\, free and open to the public. \nAdvance praise for Descent: \n“Outstanding . . . The days when you had to choose between a great story and a great piece of writing? Gone.” —Esquire \n“I’ve read many variations on this theme\, some quite good\, but never one as powerful as Tim Johnston’s Descent… The story unfolds brilliantly\, always surprisingly\, but the glory of Descent lies not in its plot but in the quality of the writing. The magic of his prose equals the horror of Johnston’s story; each somehow enhances the other. . . . Read this astonishing novel. It’s the best of both worlds.”\n—The Washington Post \n“This is much more than your typical thriller. Tim Johnston has written a book that makes Gone Girl seem gimmicky…Johnson is an excellent writer. You want to set this one down so you can take a breath\, and keep reading–all at the same time.”\n—Alan Cheuse\, on NPR’s All Things Considered

SUMMARY:Derek Larson: Trance
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Miranda Lash\, Curator of Contemporary Art\, Speed Art Museum \nNovember 14-December 20\, 2014\nCrosstown Arts\, 422 N. Cleveland\, Memphis\, TN 38104 \nOpening Night: Friday\, November 14\, 6-8 pm\nGallery talk with the artist and curator at 6:30 pm \nRoundtable discussion: Saturday\, November 15\, 11:30 am \nCrosstown Arts is pleased to announce Trance\, an exhibition of digital media work by Georgia-based artist Derek Larson\, opening Friday\, November 14. The exhibition is curated by Miranda Lash\, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Speed Art Museum in Louisville. \nIn his practice Larson combines digital media with painting\, lights\, motors\, and projected animations on freestanding screens. For his first solo show in Memphis\, Larson is presenting five video projections: three from his series entitled Tantric Wealth from 2012\, and two artworks from his most recent body of paintings that include elements of video. Through this constellation of artworks Larson addresses how technology has changed our ways of seeing. Are our ever-present screens and videos luring us into an extended state of passive hypnosis\, or perhaps more optimistically\, do they allow a more expansive mode of learning\, contemplation\, and meditation? \nThe artist and curator will introduce the exhibition at 6:30 pm on Friday\, November 14\, at the opening reception. Crosstown Arts will host a roundtable discussion and lunch with the artist and curator on Saturday\, November 15 at 11:30 am. \nDownload Curator’s Essay \nAbout the Artist \nDerek G.

SUMMARY:Ben Butler: Cloud Morphology
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Cloud Morphology\, an exhibition of new sculpture by Memphis artist Ben Butler. \n \n\n                 \n\n\n    \nPhoto: Chip Pankey\n \nArtist Statement \nEvery thing\, under close enough observation\, will reveal the complete story of its making. \nIn and around Blue Hill\, Maine\, the blueberry fields are littered with the stones\, boulders really\, which were dropped by migrating glaciers during the last ice age.  They are not indigenous like the bedrock\, they are visitors\, and they generally sit on top of the earth. \nStones can seem like the most static and permanent objects we can imagine\, but of course they are not static.  Time spent with these particular rocks shows clear evidence of multiple processes – cracks where an enormous force once suddenly split the rock\, concavities where a violent encounter with another stone took a small part away\, a surface texture resulting from centuries of abrasion from ice and soil and smaller rocks\, and a general smoothness\, a softening of all features\, from the gentle but endlessly persistent wind and rain.  In the quiet of the blueberry fields you can study these features and reconstruct the story.  A single stone was severed from a mountain\, tumbled\, was tossed about by heaving earth\, carried across a continent by flowing ice\, scraped and sculpted\, and ended up here.  And it is still moving\, sinking into the soil\, shifting upward and tilting when the ground freezes\, softening in the rain\, cracking\, and rolling down hill\, all at pace that is impossible to perceive.  But the physical evidence is there in the stone. \nMy sculptures reflect the sensibility that an object stands as a momentary physical manifestation of an ongoing process.  They provide evidence of unseen forces\, and they point to the distinction between the human and the non-human.  Throughout the natural world\, unexpected complexity emerges from simple\, persistent processes.  When the order of things is not readily apparent\, complexity is often mistaken for chaos.  In the rush to comprehend we often miss the wonderful unseen forces at work.  My response is to play in these boundaries between the simple and the complex\, and between the complex and the overwhelming\, and to offer a contemplative experience in which language gives way to physical understanding\, and slow looking is rewarded. \nArtist Biography \nBen Butler received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA from Bowdoin College.  His work has been exhibited in solo shows in New York at Coleman Burke Gallery and Plane Space\, as well as at Zg Gallery in Chicago\, John Davis Gallery in Hudson\, New York\, Davidson Galleries in Seattle\, and Clough-Hanson Gallery in Memphis\, among others.  He is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Individual Artist Grant and numerous fellowships at residency programs including the MacDowell Colony\, The Bemis Center for Contemporary Art\, and the Ucross Foundation. \nHe currently lives and works in Memphis\, Tennessee and Quogue\, New York\, and is Assistant Professor of Art at Rhodes College. \n

SUMMARY:Anyway\, Anyhow
DESCRIPTION:A raw wild visual gumbo to accompany the sick sonic stew of Gonerfest\, organized by Goner Records\n\n\nFeaturing the artwork of Tim Kerr (Austin\, TX)\, Bruce Webb (Waxahatchie\, TX)\, John Henry Toney (Seale\, AL)\, Butch Anthony (Seale\, AL)\, Timmy Lampinen (Detroit\, MI)\n\nTIM KERR\nTim moved to Austin in 1974 to attend The University of Texas at Austin and there he earned a degree in painting and photography. While in the art department\, he studied under famed photographer Garry Winogrand and was awarded a Ford Foundation grant for his work. \nTim is also well-known for his slashing guitar work in seminal punk bands The Big Boys\, Poison 13\, Monkeywrench\, Lord High Fixers and more. \nHis artwork combines social awareness with iconic figures\nand searing images overlaid by inspirational quotes. He has been involved in many different scales\, from murals to artwork on skateboards. \nHe recently exhibited in \nhttp://www.timkerr.net/\nhttp://juicemagazine.com/home/tim-kerr-art-show/\nhttp://www.yalostudio.com/2014_04_01_archive.html \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nBUTCH ANTHONY\nMr. Anthony has made up his own word\, “intertwangleism\,” a label he paints on a lot of his pieces\, which he defined this way: “Inter\, meaning to mix\,” he said. “And twang\, a distinct way of speaking. If I make up my own ‘ism\,’ no one can say anything or tell me I’m doing it wrong.” \nButch’s art world contains sly reworkings of existing paintings\, sculptures made of discarded metal and wood\, and semi-apocryphal taxidermy all creating a unique voice that has charmed the art world from his native Alabama through New York City\, London\, and beyond. \nButch did a show in the Goner Store in 2004 which was a huge thrill for us. In the ten years since that show\, Butch has become strangely sorta famous\, but hasn’t changed a bit. A recent show at Yolo Gallery in Water Valley\, MS was a sensation. We are thrilled to have him back. \nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/garden/08doonanny.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\nhttp://www.blackratprojects.com/artists/butchanthony\nhttp://www.yalostudio.com/2013/03/anatomy-can-be-fun-new-work-by-butch.html\nhttp://www.museumofwonder.com/ \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nJOHN HENRY TONEY\nMr. John Henry Toney grew up in Sandfort\, Alabama and farmed all his life. He used to drive a tractor around Seale and plow up folk’s garden patches for them. One day he plowed up a turnip with a human face on it… His art career was born. He’s 83 years old and draws everyday. \nhttp://www.museumofwonder.com/#slide3\nhttp://www.garde-rail.com/artists/toney/index.html\nhttp://rawvision.com/articles/love-and-water-art-john-henry-toney \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nBRUCE LEE WEBB\nBruce Lee is the co-conspirator and co- creator of Webb Gallery in downtown Waxahachie\, Texas. He loves hobo lore and train car graffiti. He is a researcher and collector by nature and is currently working on “As Above So Below -Art of the Fraternal Lodge” with co-author Lynne Adele\, which will be published by UT Press in 2015. \nBruce recently curated and participated in the “Akin” exhibit of outsider and self-taught artists at Crosstown Arts. \nhttp://www.webbartgallery.com/\nhttp://blogs.dallasobserver.com/mixmaster/2012/03/spinning_a_webb_local_artist_a.php\nhttp://www.croftartgallery.com/previousshows/brucewebb.html \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nTIMMY LAMPINEN\nTimmy\, well-known in Goner circles as the the Human Eye / Timmy’s Organism / Clone Defects singer and guitar mangler\, is also a 2010 Kresge Grant Arts award winner. As Timmy’s music strives for wild departures and maximum impact via spaced-out sounds\, his artwork spreads the color of consciousness and fredom with righteous abandon. His album covers are some of the trippiest of anyone working in the medium today. \nhttp://www.kresgeartsindetroit.org/fellowships/past-fellows/2010-fellows/timmy-lampinen/\nhttp://larecord.com/interviews/2008/12/01/human-eye-yeah-i-drank-the-glitter-slime \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nFor more information see:\nhttp://www.goner-records.com/gonerfest/gonerfest11-artshow.php\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1443801609200425/

SUMMARY:Bawlmer
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Bawlmer\, a group exhibition of new work by Baltimore-based artists organized Dwayne Butcher. Butcher is an artist\, designer\, and curator who moved from Memphis to Baltimore in 2013. Artists he has chosen for this exhibition include Colin Alexander\, Kyle Bauer\, Amy Hughes Braden\, Dave Eassa\, Cara Ober and Paul Shortt. Through painting\, sculpture\, and a prevailing sense of humor\, the exhibition aims to make connections between Memphis and Baltimore and their respective creative landscapes. \nCurator’s Statement: \n‘In my short time in Baltimore\, I have noticed many similarities between this city and Memphis. Each is roughly the same size in area and population\, and each is similar in its racial\, political\, and socioeconomic makeup. They both have the “grit and grind” that blue-collar\, middle-class urban areas have to have. This “grit and grind” is the prefect incubator for creativity\, which makes “Bawlmer\,” as enunciated in the local dialect\, seem like home to me. \nThe six artists included in this exhibition approach their work with a sense of humor. They poke fun at normal conventions of class and gender\, recall the fads of their youth\, enjoy the frivolity of today\, break down shapes into the purest of forms\, and call into question the superiority of the art world’s “big swinging dicks.” \nOh\, the Baltimorons love their crabs as much as Memphians love their BBQ. So there is that. And then there is the Old Bay.’ \n-Dwayne Butcher \nArtist information: \nColin Alexander  \nKyle Bauer \nAmy Hughes Braden \nDave Eassa \nCara Ober \nPaul Shortt \nCurator’s biography: \nOriginally from Memphis\, TN\, Dwayne Butcher is an artist\, designer\, and curator living in Baltimore. He received his MFA from the Memphis College of Art in 2008. While at MCA\, he developed a deep interest in the integration of Digital Media expression with traditional art forms. His work wittily comments on his life as a citizen of the American South\, often around issues of gender identity. His work has increasingly been shown in international exhibitions in the last two years in locations such as Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, Chongqing\, China\, Paris France\, Berlin\, Germany\, Amsterdam\, The Netherlands\, New York City and Los Angeles. He has been featured in articles focusing on his work and community art projects for the New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Hyperallergic\, Art21\, and Big\, Red and Shiny.  When Dwayne is not working on all of the above things\, he maintains an art blog focusing on the visual arts of Baltimore and the surrounding area. He enjoys watching short animations and experimental films. He is one of the world’s greatest Risk players and has won awards for his chicken wings.  Dwayne also spends a lot of time with his wife taking pictures of their two worthless cats. Oh. He also likes beer. \n-From http://dwaynebutcher.squarespace.com/info/ \nCover image: Kyle Bauer\, detail

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer: Michael Pollan
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Crosstown Arts\, Booksellers at Laurelwood\, Church Health Center and Memphis Center for Food & Faith \nInternationally-acclaimed\, bestselling author Michael Pollan visited Memphis for a reading\, booksigning\, and dinner event on Tuesday\, May 20\, in conjunction with the paperback release of his most recent book\, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation. \nPrior to the reading\, Chef Miles McMath and organizers hosted an outdoor barbecue featuring locally-sourced meat and produce\, with the food and cocktail menu based around the themes of the book.  Local acoustic duo Deering and Down as well as members of story booth’s spring music production workshop performed live. \nThis event was presented by Crosstown Arts in collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood\, the Church Health Center\, and Memphis Center for Food & Faith\,  and benefited the new nonprofit local foods distributor\, Bring It Food Hub. Admission to reading was free and dinner tickets were offered at $20. \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nFor the past twenty-five years\, Michael Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates\, in our farms and gardens\, and in the built environment. \nIn Cooked\, Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. Here\, he explores the enduring power of the four classical elements—fire\, water\, air\, and earth— to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters\, Pollan learns how to grill with fire\, cook with liquid\, bake bread\, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. In the course of his journey\, he discovers that the cook occupies a special place in the world\, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking\, and so\, in the process\, is the cook. \n\nA portion of book sales and proceeds from dinner tickets will help to support the Pay It Forward CSA program of Bring It Food Hub\, which provides fresh fruit and vegetables for families in need. \nBring It is partnering with the Church Health Center to increase access to healthy and delicious locally-grown food. \n\nMore about the author: \nMichael Pollan is author of Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation and of four New York Times’ bestsellers: Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual (2010); In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto (2008); The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (2006) and The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s-Eye View of the World (2001). The Omnivore’s Dilemma was named one of the ten best books of 2006 by both the New York Times and the Washington Post. It also won the California Book Award\, the Northern California Book Award\, the James Beard Award\, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. \nPollan was named to the 2010 TIME 100\, the magazine’s annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people. In 2009 he was named by Newsweek as one of the top 10 “New Thought Leaders.” A contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine since 1987\, his writing has received numerous awards. \nIn addition to publishing regularly in The New York Times Magazine\, his articles have appeared in Harper’s (where he served as executive editor from 1984 to 1994)\, National Geographic\, Mother Jones\, The Nation\, The New York Review of Books\, Vogue\, Travel + Leisure\, Gourmet\, House & Garden and Gardens Illustrated\, among others. \nIn 2003\, Pollan was appointed the John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism\, and the director of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism. In addition to teaching\, he lectures widely on food\, agriculture\, health and the environment. \nDetails: \nVisiting Writer Michael Pollan \nPresented by Crosstown Arts\, The Booksellers at Laurelwood\, Church Health Center\, and Memphis Center for Food & Faith \nTuesday\, May 20 \n7:00 pm reception; 7:30 pm program begins \nCrosstown Arts\, 430 N.

SUMMARY:Cedar Lorca Nordbye: To Frame\, To Construct\, To Occupy
DESCRIPTION: Utilizing the approximate quantity of wood used to frame a small house\, the installation explores questions of diaspora\, exile and relocation\, with occupancy as a form of resistance\, and construction as a metaphor for idea formation.The colorful and fragmented imagery of houses\, figures and abstract designs cast on a variety of standard\, wooden framing surfaces is the first phase of a two-part project. At the close of the exhibition\, the graphically altered lumber will be donated to Memphis Habitat for Humanity and available for use in a newly constructed home\, briefly visible as a collaborative artwork between the artist and the volunteer builders before being enclosed within the walls of a future dwelling. \nOn view in the Crosstown Arts gallery\, across the street from the Sears Crosstown building\, which is soon to be the largest building remodel in the history of Memphis\, the installation utilizes wood collected from multiple sources (including the interior of Sears Crosstown) to examine our sense of the structures we inhabit in a post 9/11\, post-Katrina America. \n“Our ideas\, the thoughts that give shape to our days\, our emotions and our interactions\, are like the beautiful golden streaked Douglass fir two-by-fours that frame our homes. Humble\, cut to length and hidden away.” \nCedar Lorca Nordbye is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Memphis where he has taught since 2003.  His work has been exhibited in California\, Atlanta\, Chicago\, Quebec\, Skopje\, Alabama\, Kentucky and North Carolina in a variety of gallery\, museum and alternative spaces.  Norbye has carried out social-practice/performance artworks in Las Vegas\, Paris\, Greensboro\, Seattle\, Nashville and New York City\, where he has been banned from the Empire State Building since 2003. \nWhen asked where he is from\, Nordbye replies\, “Michigan for four years\, Minnesota for one year\, Iowa for four years\, Massachusetts for five years\, California for ten years\, and before that in a childhood blur of hippie-Jewish-exiled wandering which spanned Connecticut\, Guatemala\, New Mexico and West Virginia\, with my mother and my father…who actually is a Jewish carpenter.” \nHis work can be viewed online at cedarnordbye.com. \nThe exhibition was organized by the artist and Crosstown Arts.
