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/ URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/anyway-anyhow/ LOCATION:Crosstown Arts Galleries\, 1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\, Memphis\, TN\, 38104\, United States CATEGORIES:Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-10-at-12.10.05-PM.png GEO:35.1522897;-90.0132964 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave. Suite 280 Memphis TN 38104 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280:geo:-90.0132964,35.1522897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20140819T030000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20140920T120000 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150610T220206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150813T234054Z UID:10002301-1408417200-1411214400@crosstownarts.org 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 URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/bawlmer/ LOCATION:Crosstown Arts Galleries\, 1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\, Memphis\, TN\, 38104\, United States CATEGORIES:Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-10-at-12.00.06-PM.png GEO:35.1522897;-90.0132964 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave. Suite 280 Memphis TN 38104 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280:geo:-90.0132964,35.1522897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20140711T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20140809T130000 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150612T202155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150813T234004Z UID:10002408-1405054800-1407589200@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Lester Merriwhether DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Colossus\, an exhibition of new large-scale collage works by Memphis artist Lester Merriweather. \n\n \n\n\n \nLester Merriweather (b.1978) is a Memphis-based visual artist.

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.

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.

Waiting for her there is a cast of more than a dozen misfits — a hemophobic aspiring serial killer\, a deranged soprano opera singer\, a debt-addicted entrepreneur-cum-madam\, a matchmaking hermaphrodite — each hurtling toward their own calamities\, and\, ultimately\, toward each other. A Texan Gabriel Garcia Marquez who writes tragicomic twists reminiscent of John Kennedy Toole\, Bill Cotter produces some of the most visceral\, absurd\, and downright hilarious sentences to be found in fiction today. “The Parallel Apartments” is a bold leap forward for a writer whose protean talents\, whose sheer exuberance for language and what a novel can do\, marks him as one of the most exciting stylists in America.Bill Cotter was born in Dallas in 1964 and has worked as an antiquarian book dealer and restorer since 2000. He lives in Austin\, TX\, with the storyteller Annie La Ganga. His first novel was “Fever Chart.” \n\n\n\nhttp://www.grownupladystorycompany.com/ URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/visiting-writer-bill-cotter-the-grown-up-lady-story-company/ LOCATION:story booth\, 438 N.

The use of color and imagery can create a healing environment that lowers stress and anxiety and can also be used to encourage rehabilitation. Each art program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is aimed at promoting healing\, transforming the hospital experience and bringing joy. The hospital’s commitment to filling the environment with local art is seen throughout campus in murals\, paintings and prints\, sculpture\, mosaics\, flooring and colorful designs. \nSix years ago\, a new tower was built and named the Chili’s Care Center. Instead of filling the corridors with murals\, hospital planners opted to populate each floor with framed artwork consisting of pieces from local artists and patients\, as well as photographs that would be displayed in custom-made\, colorful frames unique to the tower’s interior. While the tower was under construction\, several local artists moved into it\, set up studios and created a large body of work for the project. \nTogether\, with art produced by patients and images created by St. Jude photographers\, hundreds of pieces were permanently displayed in the corridors of every floor within the tower. Today\, patients\, families and staff walking the halls experience art created for them and by them; these individuals also view photos of themselves and of those who support them. \nBecause of the success of the Chili’s Care Center art program\, hospital planners decided that the next tower\, currently under construction and known as “Tower 2\,” would house a similar art program. Seven artists were invited to participate in the Tower 2 Project. Jeanne Seagle\, Lurlynn Franklin and Janet Beaver were three artists from the original group who were asked to participate in this new project. \nThe remaining four were Kong wee Pang\, Jay Crum\, Alex Warble and Danny Broadway. Seagle\, Beaver\, Broadway and Warble set up studios on campus\, while the remaining three worked from their personal studios. All of the artists participated in tours and were given open access to explore and experience the campus and the people. They were also provided color samples of the new tower’s interior and encouraged to not only pull from their experience at St. Jude\, but to also create work that might draw the viewer in to find something new. \nEach artist participated in at least one “painting party” with patients and families. These parties were designed not only to fill the new tower with patient work\, but also to provide artists\, patients and families with a fun and therapeutic experience. The artists together produced more than 100 pieces during their four-week residency\, while patients and families produced more than 100 paintings during their seven painting parties. \nHEALING SPACE is a sample of the work produced during the Tower 2 Project. This show displays the pieces for public view before permanent installation while illustrating the importance of color and connection in a therapeutic environment. \n-Youngblood Studio\, LLC URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/healing-space/ LOCATION:Crosstown Arts Galleries\, 1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\, Memphis\, TN\, 38104\, United States CATEGORIES:Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-12-at-10.38.32-AM.png GEO:35.1522897;-90.0132964 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave. Suite 280 Memphis TN 38104 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280:geo:-90.0132964,35.1522897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20140208T020000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20140301T110000 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150610T013341Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150610T013404Z UID:10002298-1391824800-1393671600@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Inspired Resistance DESCRIPTION:A group show curated by Ian Lemmonds with work by  Emily Cifaldi\, Melissa Dunn\, Carl E.

Her midwife’s salary is tucked into the toes of her boots\, and her pack is full of gifts for her family. But as she crests the final hill\, and sees her darkened house and a smokeless chimney\, immediately she knows that an unthinkable crime has destroyed the life she so carefully built. Her lone comfort is her twelve-year-old son\, Caleb\, who joins her in mourning the tragedy and planning its reprisal. Their long journey leads them to a rough-hewn lake town\, defined by the violence both of its landscape and of its inhabitants. There Caleb is forced into a brutal adulthood\, as he slowly discovers truths about his family he never suspected\, and Elspeth must confront the terrible urges and unceasing temptations that have haunted her for years. Throughout it all\, the love between mother and son serves as the only shield against a merciless world.                          \nWKNO’s Book Club Pick \n \n  URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/visiting-writer-james-scott/ LOCATION:story booth\, 438 N.

Middle school students from Humes Preparatory Academy will work with a local artist to complete a mural on the façade of a blighted building at 989 Looney Street. The painting is scheduled to begin in September and will be completed in late October. \nThe idea stemmed from a partnership between the Klondike-Smokey City Community Development Corporation\, UrbanArts\, Crosstown Arts and the Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team\, as another installment of the Delivery Team’s 25 SQ project. 25 SQ is a plan to reduce Memphis’ 53\,000 vacant buildings by initiating a series of low-cost\, high impact public art programs. \nArtist Shea Colburn is leading the creative process with 15 middle school students. Along with Colburn\, Nat Akin of Crosstown Arts\, and Melissa Lorenz\, an art teacher at Humes\, are developing a curriculum to introduce students to muralist painters like Hale Woodruff and Diego Rivera\, who will serve as inspiration for the budding muralists.Colburn explains\, “the students are the soul behind this thing; their ideas in the classroom will be translated to the mural design.” \nSiphne Sylve of UrbanArt hopes and expects to see “positive outcomes\, especially with those involved in the process\,” and since it is public art\, even someone driving by is included. Sylve says that the outcomes of similar projects that UrbanArt has completed were beneficial to the communities they engaged and often sparked the question “What more can we do now knowing that something like this is possible?” \nNat Akin of Crosstown Arts hopes to build on this momentum by exploring the possibilities of future mural projects through Crosstown Arts’ free after-school arts program\, story booth. The idea\, Akin explains\, is “to involve youth in the greater Crosstown community in an initial mural project that might be a model for a mural program that could be sustainable over time.” The artist and community partners mirror Akin’s sentiments of the project being replicable. \nCentral to this project is also community involvement. Dorian Spears\, Public ArtDirector with the Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team wants community members to be able to say\, “I was a part of that change\, part of adding something great to my neighborhood.” \nThe project intends to also stimulate small businesses in the Klondike-Smokey City neighborhoods\, by hiring licensed and insured paint contractors to complete preliminary paint work and priming on the building. Additionally\, the project seeks in-kind donations of painting materials and supplies like primer\, paintbrushes\, tarps\, etc. Please contact the President of Klondike Smokey City CDC\, Ms. Quincey Morris\, if you can provide any of these services or donations. \nWhat matters most is that the community gets involved and engaged with their environment before\, during\, and after the public art creation\, Spears adds. “Participation is open to interpretation. You might not be an artist\, but what kind of ownership and initiative are you going to take to participate in a better future?” URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/rise-mural-project/ LOCATION:Klondike Smokey City CDC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/1479189_232649600244052_1419374952_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20131122 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20131124 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150618T215400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150618T215400Z UID:10002319-1385143200-1385229599@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Jeannie Tomlinson Saltmarsh: Are There Fish in Lick Creek?

Her work examines how sentimental objects are used to rebuild portraits of place and time. With slide installations\, framed porcelain cameos\, and works on paper\, Piraino uses conditions from a recollected past to address the meaning of nostalgia and memory. The artist will visit Memphis and present a discussion of her work on Wednesday\, November 20\, at 6 pm at the gallery. \nValerie Piraino (b. 1981 Kigali\, Rwanda) received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2004 and her MFA from Columbia University in 2009.  She was artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2009-2010 and was nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant in 2011 and 2012.  Recent and forthcoming exhibitions include “Could Not Bear the Sight of It” Contemporary Art Interventions on Critical Whiteness at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum\, Chicago\, Illinois (2014)\, Photoplay at Cindy Rucker Gallery\, New York\, NY (2013)\, Present Future at Artissima\, Turin\, Italy (2013). She lives and works in New York City. \nArtist Talk: Wednesday\, November 20\, 6 pm (5:30 reception)\nDiscussion moderated by Cedar Lorca Nordbye \nArtist Statement 2013 \n“Working in installation\, sculpture and photography\, my work explores how images can be re-contextualized.   I think of homes and domestic spaces as sites that are integral to influencing subjectivity\, in particular family photographs and slides. \nI look to personal mementos as malleable forms. Working from an archive of slides\, I create immersive tableaux that critique nostalgia. Drawing from theater\, cinema and literature\, I make dramatic and disorienting settings that house projected slides. My photographs are a more literal take on malleability\, where slides are projected on to fabric and manipulated.  I work to create a psychological backdrop where personal narratives are continuously re-interpreted.” \nhttp://www.valeriepiraino.com \nCrosstown Arts thanks Elliot Perry for co-organizing this exhibition. \nImage: Valerie Piraino\, With Pen in Hand\, 2010\, frames\, slide projectors\, slides\, tables\, 7’x7’x9’ \nValerie Piraino: Reconstruction\nOctober 18-November 30\, 2013\nCrosstown Arts\n422 N.

A booksigning will follow the discussion. \nPublished by Grove/Atlantic and accompanied by an exhibition of photographs\, Wash has been short listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize and for the Crook’s Corner Prize for exceptional debut novels set in the American South. \nBorn and raised in Birmingham\, Alabama\, Margaret Wrinkle is a writer\, filmmaker\, educator and visual artist.  Her award-winning documentary\,broken\ground\, about the racial divide in her historically conflicted hometown\, was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and was a winner of the National Council on Foundations’ Film Festival. \nCopies of Wash will be for sale. \nLearn more at margaretwrinkle.com \nPress and Praise:\n \n\n“Wrinkle’s tender first novel…is both redemptive and affirming.”\nThe New York Times Editor’s Choice  (pdf) \n“A masterly literary work….This debut occasions celebration. Haunting\, tender and superbly measured\, Wash is both redemptive and affirming.”\nThe New York Times Book Review  (pdf) \n\n“The voices of the past cannot speak for themselves and must rely on the artists of the future to honor them. It’s a profound responsibility and one that Margaret Wrinkle meets in her brilliant novel\, Wash.”\nThe Wall Street Journal  (pdf) \n“Never has a fictionalized window into the relationship between slave and master opened onto such believable territory….Wash unfolds like a dreamy\, impressionistic landscape….[A] luminous book.”\nThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution  (pdf) \n“Books like William Styron’s The Confessions of Nat Turner\, Toni Morrison’s Beloved\, Edward P. Jones’ The Known World\, and Russell Banks’ Cloudsplitter form a kind of Truth and Reconciliation Commission of their own. Add Margaret Wrinkle’s Wash to that illustrious company.”\nThe Dallas Morning News  (pdf)\n \n“…Wash achieves something extraordinary: a full-fledged confrontation with one of the most difficult aspects of our nation’s history… Wrinkle has given us an honest and important expression of hope… a firm foothold that leads in the direction of truth and reconciliation. We would do well to take this step.”\nThe Charleston Post and Courier  (pdf) \n“A marvel.

Her work explores memory through mapping and architectural space in the forms of drawings and large-scale installations. \nFrom the artist: \nWreford has been my landlord for the past two years. He rules with an iron fist over a complex of four multi-unit buildings. One of them housed my first-floor one-bedroom apartment. My interest for some time now has been in exploring memory through architectural space and mapping. A recent exodus of 1865 Poplar Avenue has refocused these ideas. \nThis work explores the symbiotic relationship between existing architectural structures and the personalities that inhabit them: \nWreford:  He charged me $2 to wheel my trashcan to the street. He looks like a Ken doll. \nMister:  My cat has moved with me five times in six years. He looks like a stuffed animal. \nThe Neighbors: They held the fence dividing our properties together with a garden hose. I never actually saw them. \nI spent July leaving Wreford’s\, toting boxes across midtown Memphis to a new residence. Cat fur tumbleweeds blew through the apartment as I slowly emptied it of belongings. It was gross and romantic. \nJessica Lund was born in 1986 in Florida and grew up in Alabama. She received her MFA at the University of Memphis and her BA at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. She currently lives and works in Memphis\, Tennessee. \nView a full gallery of installation images here. \nPoster photo by Mim Brooks \n  \n  URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/wreford/ LOCATION:Crosstown Arts Galleries\, 1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\, Memphis\, TN\, 38104\, United States CATEGORIES:Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/d6f7d6_d82092479f71169d84150625bbfa19d7.jpg_srb_p_887_590_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.jpg GEO:35.1522897;-90.0132964 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave. Suite 280 Memphis TN 38104 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280:geo:-90.0132964,35.1522897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20130803T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20130803T160000 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150730T203126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150730T203204Z UID:10002548-1375542000-1375545600@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Mancontrol with Madame Wee DESCRIPTION:As much a performance-art project as it is an electronic “band\,” the duo known as >mancontrol< (local music scene vets Dave Shouse and Robby Grant) never fail to deliver a unique\, interactive show that defies convention and description.

The programming consists of monthly or nightly shows as well as artists’ lectures in connection with local colleges and universities. Material has served as a space for young artists to have their first shows\, as well as a place for established local and regional artists to test new ideas in a public forum. In addition to serving local artists\, Material has hosted artists from Birmingham to Tokyo.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates and commemorates Material Art Space’s inspiring and longstanding impact on the Memphis art community and its unprecedented run as an alternative space.  In May of 2013\, Material celebrated its 100th exhibition and in August it will host its final show as Hamlett Dobbins leaves for an eleven-month stay at the American Academy in Rome. The exhibition at Crosstown Arts will feature work by over 50 artists who exhibited at Material from 2004 through 2013. \nAmong the many artists who will contribute to the exhibition are Greely Myatt\, Mark Nowell\, Melissa Dunn\, Mel Spillman\, Bobby Spillman\, Rebecca Robert\, Elizabeth Alley\, Clayton Colvin\, Kathleen Perniciaro\, Douglas Degges\, Dwayne Butcher\, Tad Lauritzen Wright\, Adam Farmer\, Susan Maakestad\, Jonathan Auger\, James Inscho\, Clare Torina\, Jamie Harmon\, Holly Cole\, Pete Schulte\, Georgia Creson\, Alex Harrison\, Jordan Martins\, Maggie Kleinpeter\, Jeana Baungardner\, Joel Parsons\, Mary Jo Karimnia\, and Joshua Huyser.\nContact: Hamlett Dobbins  dobbinsh@rhodes.edu or Emily Harris Halpern Emily@crosstownarts.org URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/material-anthology/ LOCATION:Crosstown Arts Galleries\, 1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280\, Memphis\, TN\, 38104\, United States CATEGORIES:Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-09-at-9.55.26-AM.png GEO:35.1522897;-90.0132964 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave. Suite 280 Memphis TN 38104 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1350 Concourse Ave.\, Suite 280:geo:-90.0132964,35.1522897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20130607T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20130607T170000 DTSTAMP:20260518T134630 CREATED:20150730T203828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150730T203828Z UID:10002554-1370610000-1370624400@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Readily Available: An Instagram Show DESCRIPTION:Group exhibition of curated instagram prints by Lesley Young\, Jenn Brandt and Stephanie Wexler\, organized by the artists \nLearn more URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/readily-available-an-instagram-show/ LOCATION:TN CATEGORIES:430 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/5e2f6032196b8b7a-251005_10151384697911467_472320185_n.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
