SUMMARY:Emily C. Thomas: Imprismed
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of paintings\, sculpture\, and digital objects that constructs a dialectic between the repression and cultivation of psycho-sexual energies through the ages. \nOn view: January 26-March 11\nOpening reception: Friday\, January 26\, 6-8 pm \nGallery hours:\nTuesday-Friday\, 10 am-8 pm\nSaturday\, 10 am-6 pm\nSunday\, noon-6 pm \n\n“The most perfect medium would be an invisible one.” — Terence McKenna \nImagine walking into a gallery space and telepathically downloading a mirage of visions\, ideas\, and living information. IMPRISMED proposes to explore the unconscious infrastructures that inform our perceptions within the lineage of visionary thinkers and cultural commentators such as Marshall McLuhan. \nDuring the 1960s\, McLuhan became a leading intellectual\, initiating the emerging field of Media studies. He coined revolutionary maxims such as “the medium is the message\,” and even predicted the internet nearly 30 years before its invention. This show contains paintings\, sounds\, sculpture and digital objects made of light — a full range of materials dating back through humanity’s most historic to most recent artistic innovations — all  of which attempt to nurture an awareness of how the medium defines their meaning. \nHuman history contains many examples of the use of torture devices on individuals in order to extract information or force confessions\, such as their use during the Salem Witch Trials and Spanish Inquisition. Back in the 1800s\, Native American peoples were wary of their souls being captured if they allowed themselves to be the subject of a photographs\, as if the spirit might become locked into the material density of film. McLuhan also warned against such phenomena when he said\, “The more data banks record about us\, the less we exist.” \nIn our time\, we willingly use internet search engines and other digital platforms such as Facebook that extract our personal information and archive it within a massive database. One use for this pooling of data is for the creation of A.I. or artificial intelligence. Coincidentally\, the National Security Agency’s (NSA) surveillance operation which collects data through major internet platforms\, such as Yahoo\, Google\, Facebook\, Microsoft\, YouTube\, Skype\, and Apple\, is referred to under the code name PRISM. If mediums themselves are the crystalized remains of our communicative processes\, does the accumulation of data put the human spirit at risk for eternal imprisonment within the material realm? \nThe crystalline mineral structure is capable of producing electricity and sending signals. Digital and nanotechnologies depend upon crystals to control the operations of their systems. Quartz watches\, computers\, cell phones\, solar panels\, and liquid crystal displays (LCD) contain a matrix of crystalline technology. Within a spiritual context\, many New Age syncretic religions also utilize the energetic qualities of crystals and mineral formations within the ritual setting. In this context\, crystals and minerals act as catalysts for the transformation of psycho-sexual energies \nPart visual boot camp\, part torture dungeon and New Age sanctuary\, IMPRISMED constructs a dialectic between the repression and cultivation of psycho-sexual energies through the ages. \n\nAbout the Artist:\nBorn and raised in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Emily C. Thomas is an interdisciplinary\, project-based artist who has lived and worked in New York\, Los Angeles\, Santa Barbara\, Memphis\, and Amsterdam\, The Netherlands. She received a BFA from NYU in 2009 and a MFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2015. \nThomas’ practice is a holistic response to the fragmentation of consciousness\, resulting from institutionalized segregation of knowledge and the classification of individuals into cultural\, social\, gender\, and human vs. nonhuman roles. Acting as a medium\, she conjures visions of trans-rational and transpersonal realms that dissolve divisions within consciousness. \nShe materializes these visionary states through installation\, animation\, film\, sculpture\, painting\, and sound to fabricate self-reflecting worlds of initiatory experience. As cognizant of the digital as she is of the archaic (a time when the disciplines of philosophy\, science\, religion\, magic\, and art were one unified field of exploration)\, her work often juxtaposes the concepts of Enlightenment within Eastern and New Age spiritual practices and The Scientific Revolution’s Age of Enlightenment that developed within 18th-century Europe. \nHer imagery frequently alludes to the practice of observing color\, light\, and darkness as a way to gain insight into the spiritual and scientific nature of reality. Her work is created by equal parts research\, imagination\, and hands-on experimentation with materials and technology. The result is an aesthetic that embraces elements of the handmade alongside digital and obsolete technologies.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Alley: Two Stories of Iceland
DESCRIPTION:A narrative exploration of Icelandic stories and landscape in small paintings and drawings by Elizabeth Alley. \nOn view: January 26-March 11\nOpening reception: Friday\, January 26\, 6-8 pm \nGallery hours:\nTuesday-Friday\, 10 am-8 pm\nSaturday\, 10 am-6 pm\nSunday\, noon-6 pm \n\nArtist Statement:\nIceland is dramatic and magical\, with mountains\, lava fields\, the original geyser\, visible tectonic plates\, and rivers that dramatically cut through the landscape and produce giant waterfalls that look like they drop into the abyss. Just looking at the rocks covered with moss\, or the lupin flowers creating an intricate pattern\, or the steam venting out of hot springs in the distance makes you feel like you are in a magical story. The people are lovely with a dry and dark sense of humor and a deep belief in spirits\, which is fitting for a place where the landscape feels like a presence. \nTwo Stories of Iceland is a narrative exploration of stories of Iceland in small paintings and drawings. In one series\, a true story about a young woman who disappeared\, plays out in small ink drawings that tell the story of the ensuing search\, investigation\, and the impact this event had on the community. Another series is of a trip I took to Iceland in 2015 with my best friend\, who is Icelandic\, and our families. As I tell the story of the trip in small paintings and drawings\, I re-live the trip obsessively.  \nTelling these stories through sketching and painting keeps me connected to the experience and to this place that now lives in my heart.\n \n\nAbout the Artist:\nElizabeth Alley was born in Memphis\, Tennessee\, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Memphis. In addition to making paintings and filling up sketchbooks\, she teaches at Flicker Street Studio and organizes Memphis Urban Sketchers. Since 1999\, she has organized\, curated\, produced\, and participated in 32 solo and group shows. \nShe spent over 11 years in public art administration\, two years in the roller derby\, served as president of Urban Sketchers\, and by day works as a technical communicator with a flair for project management. Other interests include reading\, traveling\, making lists\, and staring out the window.

SUMMARY:Pam McDonnell: Material Equivalence
DESCRIPTION:New work by Memphis-based artist Pam McDonnell\nCurated by Anna Wunderlich\n \nOn view: January 26-March 11\nOpening reception:  Friday\, January 26\, 6-8 pm \nGallery hours:\nTuesday-Friday\, 10 am-8 pm\nSaturday\, 10 am-6 pm\nSunday\, noon-6 pm \n\nArtist Statement:\nMaterial Equivalence is my exploration of the Spanish term “duende.” It describes the wordless reaction a person feels from experiencing the output of another person’s creativity. It can be seen in work that has a certain quality of passion and inspiration. Work with duende is said to have a soul\, be highly expressive\, and authentic. \nIn making this body of work\, I tried not to focus on whether a certain piece exhibited this\nheightened state of emotion because I wanted to leave that determination to the viewer. Instead\, I practiced noticing and trusting when I felt expressive and authentic and staying grounded in the assurance that the work was\, in a sense\, “making itself.” \nThis exhibition is titled “Material Equivalence” after a philosophical formula that sets out to prove an “if and only if” relationship. Here\, it would state that “the work has duende\, if\, and only if\, the viewer experiences the work as work with a soul and finds it full of passion and inspiration.” \n\nAbout the Artist:\nPam McDonnell earned her BFA from University of Memphis in 2005 and has exhibited her work at a number of local galleries and studios\, including David Lusk Gallery and Flicker Street Studio. Her work is displayed in public collections at Iberia Bank\, West Cancer Center\, and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. \nContact information for Anna Wunderlich:\nwunderlichart@gmail.com\n901-230-7171

SUMMARY:Terri Phillips: Don't Look for My Heart
DESCRIPTION:On view through March 11\nOpening reception: Friday\, Jan. 26\, 6-8 pm \nGallery hours:\nTuesday-Friday\, 10 am-8 pm\nSaturday\, 10 am-6 pm\nSunday\, noon-6 pm \nA canopy of black garments that loom over a pond of demolished confections\, evoking a scene of quiet despair and a state of ruin. \nArtist Statement:\nTerri Phillips draws from a multiplicity of artistic traditions\, including sculpture\, performance\, film\, installation\, sound\, and photography. Her work incorporates humble materials and everyday objects to create scenes of magic realism based on an abstracted narrative of the artist’s history. Phillips chooses materials based on their tactile and sensual qualities to provoke intuitive responses that include the viewer in completing the process of the narrative. Together these elements transform the experience with the intimacy of memory and the subconscious. \nAbout the Artist:\nPhillips returns to Memphis after completing her education at California Institute of the Arts\, Beaux-Arts\, and Pepperdine University. She has been an adjunct art instructor at Memphis College of Art and University of Memphis for the past several years and has exhibited and curated internationally

SUMMARY:The Music of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: The Early Years
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. Please check back soon for details on the next Crosstown Jazz Series performance \n\nJazz performance featuring Stephen Lee (piano)\, Sal Crocker (tenor saxophone)\, Johnny Yancey (trumpet)\, John Birdsong (acoustic bass)\, and Renardo Ward (drums). \nThe Crosstown Jazz Series\, presented by Strictly Jazz Entertainment in collaboration with Crosstown Arts\, is designed to salute classic jazz music as contemporary musicians perform the work of the legends. \nThe Jazz Messengers were an influential jazz combo that existed for over thirty-five years beginning in the early 1950s as a collective\, and ending when long-time leader and founding drummer Art Blakey died in 1990. Blakey led or co-led the group from the outset.  “Art Blakey” and “Jazz Messengers” became synonymous over the years\, though Blakey did lead non-Messenger recording sessions and played as a sideman for other groups throughout his career. \nDoors at 6:30 pm | performance at 7 pm\nComplimentary beverages

SUMMARY:Anti-Twilight Dark Band
DESCRIPTION:An evening of ambient improvisation with Jimmy Crosthwait and Greg Faiers. \n\nAnti-Twilight Dark Band: The intersection of ambient music\, jazz and improvisation. \nThe Anti-Twilight Dark Band features Jimmy Crosthwait on zen chimes and Greg Faiers playing heavily processed guitar. The chimes are a byproduct of Crosthwait’s metal art work. He uses sticks (various metal and wooden implements) to create a musical percussive effect. Jimmy’s zen chimes have a sound all their own but do suggest southeast Asian and African influences. \nGreg’s guitar work / atmospherics is heavily influenced by the likes of Brian Eno\, Robert Fripp\, Daniel Lanois\, David Sylvian\, and others well known in the ambient music world. While some sequences are preconceived\, most of the performances are truly improvised on the fly.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Elizabeth Alley
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Alley discusses her work in “Two Stories of Iceland\,” a narrative exploration of Icelandic stories and landscape in small paintings and drawings. \nOn view: January 26-March 11 \n\nArtist Statement:\nIceland is dramatic and magical\, with mountains\, lava fields\, the original geyser\, visible tectonic plates\, and rivers that dramatically cut through the landscape and produce giant waterfalls that look like they drop into the abyss. Just looking at the rocks covered with moss\, or the lupin flowers creating an intricate pattern\, or the steam venting out of hot springs in the distance makes you feel like you are in a magical story. The people are lovely with a dry and dark sense of humor and a deep belief in spirits\, which is fitting for a place where the landscape feels like a presence. \nTwo Stories of Iceland is a narrative exploration of stories of Iceland in small paintings and drawings. In one series\, a true story about a young woman who disappeared\, plays out in small ink drawings that tell the story of the ensuing search\, investigation\, and the impact this event had on the community. Another series is of a trip I took to Iceland in 2015 with my best friend\, who is Icelandic\, and our families. As I tell the story of the trip in small paintings and drawings\, I re-live the trip obsessively. \nTelling these stories through sketching and painting keeps me connected to the experience and to this place that now lives in my heart. \n\nAbout the Artist:\nElizabeth Alley was born in Memphis\, Tennessee\, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Memphis. In addition to making paintings and filling up sketchbooks\, she teaches at Flicker Street Studio and organizes Memphis Urban Sketchers. Since 1999\, she has organized\, curated\, produced\, and participated in 32 solo and group shows. \nShe spent over 11 years in public art administration\, two years in the roller derby\, served as president of Urban Sketchers\, and by day works as a technical communicator with a flair for project management. Other interests include reading\, traveling\, making lists\, and staring out the window.

SUMMARY:Artist Talks: Terri Phillips & Emily C. Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts resident artists Terri Phillips and Emily C. Thomas will discuss their work currently on view in “Don’t Look for My Heart” (West Gallery) and “Imprismed” (East Gallery)\, respectively. Terri’s exhibition is on view through March 11. Emily’s exhibition will remain on view through March 8. \n\nAbout Terri Phillips:\nPhillips draws from a multiplicity of artistic traditions\, including sculpture\, performance\, film\, installation\, sound\, and photography. Her work incorporates humble materials and everyday objects to create scenes of magic realism based on an abstracted narrative of the artist’s history. Phillips choses materials based on their tactile and sensual qualities to provoke intuitive responses that include the viewer in completing the process of the narrative. Together these elements transform the experience with the intimacy of memory and the subconscious. She returns to Memphis after completing her education at California Institute of the Arts\, Beaux-Arts\, and Pepperdine University and has exhibited and curated internationally. \nAbout Emily C. Thomas:\nBorn and raised in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Emily C. Thomas is an interdisciplinary\, project-based artist who has lived and worked in New York\, Los Angeles\, Santa Barbara\, Memphis\, and Amsterdam\, The Netherlands. She received a BFA from NYU in 2009 and a MFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2015. \nThomas’ practice is a holistic response to the fragmentation of consciousness\, resulting from institutionalized segregation of knowledge and the classification of individuals into cultural\, social\, gender\, and human vs. nonhuman roles. Acting as a medium\, she conjures visions of trans-rational and transpersonal realms that dissolve divisions within consciousness. \nShe materializes these visionary states through installation\, animation\, film\, sculpture\, painting\, and sound to fabricate self-reflecting worlds of initiatory experience. As cognizant of the digital as she is of the archaic (a time when the disciplines of philosophy\, science\, religion\, magic\, and art were one unified field of exploration)\, her work often juxtaposes the concepts of Enlightenment within Eastern and New Age spiritual practices and The Scientific Revolution’s Age of Enlightenment that developed within 18th-century Europe. \nHer imagery frequently alludes to the practice of observing color\, light\, and darkness as a way to gain insight into the spiritual and scientific nature of reality. Her work is created by equal parts research\, imagination\, and hands-on experimentation with materials and technology. The result is an aesthetic that embraces elements of the handmade alongside digital and obsolete technologies.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Pam McDonnell
DESCRIPTION:Pam McDonnell discusses her work in “Material Equivalence.” \nOn view through March 11 \n\nArtist Statement:\nMaterial Equivalence is my exploration of the Spanish term “duende.” It describes the wordless reaction a person feels from experiencing the output of another person’s creativity. It can be seen in work that has a certain quality of passion and inspiration. Work with duende is said to have a soul\, be highly expressive\, and authentic. \nIn making this body of work\, I tried not to focus on whether a certain piece exhibited this\nheightened state of emotion because I wanted to leave that determination to the viewer. Instead\, I practiced noticing and trusting when I felt expressive and authentic and staying grounded in the assurance that the work was\, in a sense\, “making itself.” \nThis exhibition is titled “Material Equivalence” after a philosophical formula that sets out to prove an “if and only if” relationship. Here\, it would state that “the work has duende\, if\, and only if\, the viewer experiences the work as work with a soul and finds it full of passion and inspiration.” \n\nAbout the Artist:\nPam McDonnell earned her BFA from University of Memphis in 2005 and has exhibited her work at a number of local galleries and studios\, including David Lusk Gallery and Flicker Street Studio. Her work is displayed in public collections at Iberia Bank\, West Cancer Center\, and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
