SUMMARY:My Magical Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts resident artist Darius Wallace will present his one-man show\, My Magical Manifesto\, at the third public “mic check” event at Crosstown Arts Theater. Free and open to the public. \nAbout Darius Wallace:\nPhil Darius Wallace grew up and began his performance career in Flint\, Michigan.  He is an actor\, speaker\, and business coach now based in Memphis\, TN who has performed extensively in a variety of roles at Memphis theaters and around the country including performances showcasing the poetry of Langston Hughes and a touring one-man show about Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King\, Jr. \n“My work is about how transformation lives in the beauty of our stories. I believe there is transformative power in the written and spoken word. Words are made of letters which are signs\, which then become symbolic ideas. Ideas are our stories which can manifest our desires into reality. My hope is that through my performance\, the audience will find their best self and that which makes them happy in life.”

Clementine and Susanna hate beets\, but their baby brother eats so many that he grows and grows until his head pops through the roof and into the clouds. Things only get worse as he begins a terrifying rampage through the city streets. They’ll be grounded for a month if their mom finds out! \nFind out what happens next as your little listener discovers the music of Wagner\, Tchaikovsky\, Grieg\, and an introduction to major and minor tonalities with songs like My Darling Clementine\, Oh Susanna\, and She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain. Beetville can never be the same again … WHEN GIANT BABIESATTACK!

SUMMARY:ReMix Memphis
DESCRIPTION:Join musician/writer Alex Greene for a listening session featuring the sounds of Memphis. \nUsing an app called Loopy HD\, Alex goes through different groups of sounds\, slowly adding and subtracting noises recorded right on the streets of Memphis. You might hear simple sounds\, like feet walking through leaves\, the roar of an overhead jet\, or a leaf blower. You might hear more suggestive sounds\, like music from an amphitheater\, gun shots\, or tornado sirens. They’re all geared to get people thinking about what surrounds them every day\, and — most importantly — what they like or dislike hearing. Participants are given cards they’ll use to rate each sound as positive\, negative\, or neutral. \nIn addition\, Greene will play some of the creative mash-ups that local musicians and producers have contributed\, using field recordings from the Memphis streets. It will be the first public airing of works slated to be collected in a dedicated Memphis 3.0 album.

Wiggins\, and Sheree Renée Thomas. \n\n\nAbout Nicole Mitchell:\nNicole M. Mitchell is an award-winning creative flutist\, composer\, bandleader\, and educator. She is perhaps best known for her work as a flutist\, having developed a unique improvisational language and having been repeatedly awarded “Top Flutist of the Year” by Downbeat Magazine Critics Poll and the Jazz Journalists Association (2010-2017). Mitchell initially emerged from Chicago’s innovative music scene in the late 90s\, and her music celebrates contemporary African American culture.  \nShe is the founder of Black Earth Ensemble\, Black Earth Strings\, Sonic Projections\, and Ice Crystal\, and she composes for contemporary ensembles of varied instrumentation and size\, while incorporating improvisation and a wide aesthetic expression. The former first woman president of Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians\, Mitchell celebrates endless possibility by “creating visionary worlds through music that bridge the familiar with the unknown.” Some of her newest work with Black Earth Ensemble explores intercultural collaborations; Bamako*Chicago\, featuring Malian kora master\, Ballake Sissoko\, made its American debut at Chicago’s Hyde Park Jazz Festival in September 2017\, and Mandorla Awakening with Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi) and Tatsu Aoki (taiko\, bass\, shamisen)\, was just recently released on FPE records (Chicago) last spring.  \nAs a composer\, Mitchell has been commissioned by the French Ministry of Culture\, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art\, Art Institute of Chicago\, the Stone\, the French American Jazz Exchange\, Chamber Music America (New Works)\, the Chicago Jazz Festival\, ICE\, and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Mitchell has performed with creative music luminaries including Craig Taborn\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Joelle Leandre\, Anthony Braxton\, Geri Allen\, George Lewis\, Mark Dresser\, Steve Coleman\, Anthony Davis\, Myra Melford\, Bill Dixon\, Muhal Richard Abrams\, Ed Wilkerson\, Rob Mazurek\, and Billy Childs\, and Hamid Drake. She is a recipient of the Herb Alpert Award (2011)\, the Chicago 3Arts Award (2011) and the Doris Duke Artist Award (2012).   \nMitchell is a Professor of Music at University of California\, Irvine\, teaching composition and improvisation in the graduate program of Integrated Composition\, Improvisation and Technology.   \nLearn more at https://www.nicolemitchell.com/

SUMMARY:Brick Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibition of work by Carrie Rubinstein \nOpening: December 14\, 6-8 pm \nArtist Statement:\nInfluenced by the abundant brick and plaster walls of the Crosstown Concourse building in which it was conceived\, Brick Fiction consists of two freestanding wooden structures that are covered in drawings that mimic those surfaces. The walls of Crosstown Concourse reveal layers of sandblasted paint\, plaster\, brick\, and concrete from the previous century. The beauty of this raw surface inspires my sensibilities as an artist because it sparks my curiosity about the prior occupants of this place. \nBoth structures stand at 10 x 9 x 8’ tall and contain full-size doors and two windows. The viewer is invited to experience the work from its interior and perimeter. One structure features hand-drawn individual bricks for its entire exterior. Even though each structure is nine feet tall\, the overlapping placement of each interior drawing of plaster walls produces an unexpected intimacy. Other objects made entirely from hand-drawn and folded sheet paper include a ceiling that resembles wooden planks\, an electrical outlet\, and a three-dimensional fuse box with bolts and wire housing. \nRubinstein is motivated by the dichotomy of building representational space out of non-traditional construction materials. This natural tension drives her practice and she continually seeks to give it structure. Brick Fiction celebrates the renewal of an old space and its objects complement the revitalized edifice from which they are inspired. \n\nBrick Fiction is inspired by the raw beauty found in the walls of Crosstown Concourse\nAside from the wooden framework\, the objects are all hollow constructed sheet paper.\nUsing paper to represent solid construction materials is a driving force for the artist.\n\n\nAbout the artist:\nCarrie Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates ink drawings\, paper sculptures\, and watercolor paintings. She earned her BA in Studio Art from Smith College\, a post- baccalaureate degree in Sculpture from Brandeis University\, and her MFA in Sculpture from Hunter College with a semester at L’École des Beaux Arts in Paris. \nNotable NYC-based group shows include exhibitions at Arts@Renaissance\, Brooklyn Museum’s Go Open Studio Project\, A.I.R. Gallery\, Orgy Park\, The Roger Smith Hotel\, and TSA Gallery. In 2010-11\, Rubinstein coordinated the tART art collective\, and in 2013 was a sculpture resident at the Vermont Studio Center. \nHer VSC experience generated early work for Retrofit\, a full-room installation made entirely from paper through drawings\, hollow constructed sculptures\, and castings. Brooklyn’s Rhombus Space presented Retrofit\, which was Rubinstein’s first NYC solo show\, and she was their August 2015 artist-in-residence. In June 2017\, Rubinstein created the paper installation\, Found Underground\, at Hunter College’s Thomas Hunter Project Space in Manhattan. In September 2017\, Retrofit traveled to the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph\, MI. This was Rubinstein’s first solo museum show. Rubinstein was honored to be a pilot artist in-residence at Crosstown Arts in Memphis for 2017-18.

SUMMARY:Point in Time
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition of video art by Janaye Brown.\nLocation: Screening Room\, plus pop-out film panels in the East Atrium \nPoint in Time presents sixteen of Brown’s minimalist videos made within the past seven years. Brown makes videos based on pregnant moments observed in her everyday life. Her filmmaking background informs the techniques used to build and sustain a sense of anticipation while emphasizing the passage of time. Through an extended look at a narrative fragment\, often with a single action as its focus\, the subtlest shifts become prominent\, and the viewer has time to examine everything within the mise-en-scène. She seeks access to the tension and mystique that lay beneath the surface of familiarity. \nAbout the artist:\nJanaye Brown has exhibited at venues and film festivals including New York City’s Studio Museum Harlem\, the Dallas Video Fest\, The Banff Centre in Alberta\, Canada and Shulamit Nazarian in Los Angeles. She has participated in residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, the Bruce High Quality Foundation University and Crosstown Arts as well as others. Brown received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and her BA in Cinematic Arts and Technology from California State University Monterey Bay in 2010. She currently lives and works in Xiamen\, Fujian\, China.

SUMMARY:Homeward Bound Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:On view: December 14-January 27 \nOpening reception for a group show addressing the complex theme of “home.” \nA place of home has very different meanings to all of us. Sometimes it is a memory\, a sense of place\, a person\, a dream\, a certain chaos\, a metaphorical anchor\, a roof over our heads. \nAt 6:45 pm\, artist Areej Itayem will be performing in a sculpted pair of shoes in a piece titled “Zaman\, Al KabKab: An Indefinite Existence.” \n“I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude\, two for friendship\, three for society.”\n-Henry David Thoreau \n“Home is a name\, a word\, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke\, or spirit ever answered to\, in the strongest conjuration.” -Charles Dickens \n“Going home without my sorrow\nGoing home sometime tomorrow\nGoing home to where it’s better than before.\nGoing home without my burden\nGoing home behind the curtain\nGoing home without the costume that I wore.”\n-Leonard Cohen \n\nArtists: \nSantina Amato \nLily Anderson \nBinnie Babbage \nDan Ball \nAlexandra Barnett \nAlexandria Bell \nValerie Berlin \nLauren Blair \nHolt Brasher \nJesse Butcher \nHouston Cofield \nSarah Cohen \nAbigail Crenshaw \nSaj Crone \nPaola de la Calle \nEllen Dempsey \nMelissa Dunn \nRichard Echols \nWayne Edge \nBeth Edwards \nVeverly Edwards \nPaige Ellens \n\nRobert Fairchild \n\n\nShatara Ferguson \n\n\nNoa Fodrie \n\nSharon Havelka \nAreej Itayem \nMary Jo Karimnia \nTammy Kurre \nHeath Lail \nRobert La Warre  \nRenee Lasater \nDarla Linerode-Henson \nMax Malcolms \nBart Mallard \nErika McCarthy \nRoss McLean \nAylen Mercado \nRob Moler \nCarl Moore \nNancy Morrow \nLake Newton \nClay Palmer \nAlex Paulus \nNikii Richey \nJuan Rojo \nRebecca Shapass \nGeoffrey Brent Shrewsbury \nCorkey Sinks \nAmanda Sparks \nRyan Steed \nCA Traen \nTammy Trosclair \nMary K VanGieson \nCorie Walker

SUMMARY:Brick Fiction Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibition of work by Carrie Rubinstein \nOn view: December 14-January 27 \nArtist Statement:\nInfluenced by the abundant brick and plaster walls of the Crosstown Concourse building in which it was conceived\, Brick Fiction consists of two freestanding wooden structures that are covered in drawings that mimic those surfaces. The walls of Crosstown Concourse reveal layers of sandblasted paint\, plaster\, brick\, and concrete from the previous century. The beauty of this raw surface inspires my sensibilities as an artist because it sparks my curiosity about the prior occupants of this place. \nBoth structures stand at 10 x 9 x 8’ tall and contain full-size doors and two windows. The viewer is invited to experience the work from its interior and perimeter. One structure features hand-drawn individual bricks for its entire exterior. Even though each structure is nine feet tall\, the overlapping placement of each interior drawing of plaster walls produces an unexpected intimacy. Other objects made entirely from hand-drawn and folded sheet paper include a ceiling that resembles wooden planks\, an electrical outlet\, and a three-dimensional fuse box with bolts and wire housing. \nRubinstein is motivated by the dichotomy of building representational space out of non-traditional construction materials. This natural tension drives her practice and she continually seeks to give it structure. Brick Fiction celebrates the renewal of an old space and its objects complement the revitalized edifice from which they are inspired. \n\nBrick Fiction is inspired by the raw beauty found in the walls of Crosstown Concourse\nAside from the wooden framework\, the objects are all hollow constructed sheet paper.\nUsing paper to represent solid construction materials is a driving force for the artist.\n\n\nAbout the artist:\nCarrie Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates ink drawings\, paper sculptures\, and watercolor paintings. She earned her BA in Studio Art from Smith College\, a post- baccalaureate degree in Sculpture from Brandeis University\, and her MFA in Sculpture from Hunter College with a semester at L’École des Beaux Arts in Paris. \nNotable NYC-based group shows include exhibitions at Arts@Renaissance\, Brooklyn Museum’s Go Open Studio Project\, A.I.R. Gallery\, Orgy Park\, The Roger Smith Hotel\, and TSA Gallery. In 2010-11\, Rubinstein coordinated the tART art collective\, and in 2013 was a sculpture resident at the Vermont Studio Center. \nHer VSC experience generated early work for Retrofit\, a full-room installation made entirely from paper through drawings\, hollow constructed sculptures\, and castings. Brooklyn’s Rhombus Space presented Retrofit\, which was Rubinstein’s first NYC solo show\, and she was their August 2015 artist-in-residence. In June 2017\, Rubinstein created the paper installation\, Found Underground\, at Hunter College’s Thomas Hunter Project Space in Manhattan. In September 2017\, Retrofit traveled to the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph\, MI. This was Rubinstein’s first solo museum show. Rubinstein was honored to be a pilot artist in-residence at Crosstown Arts in Memphis for 2017-18.

SUMMARY:Point in Time — Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception for an exhibition of video art by Janaye Brown.\nLocation: Screening Room\, plus pop-out film panels in the East Atrium \nPoint in Time presents sixteen of Brown’s minimalist videos made within the past seven years. Brown makes videos based on pregnant moments observed in her everyday life. Her filmmaking background informs the techniques used to build and sustain a sense of anticipation while emphasizing the passage of time. Through an extended look at a narrative fragment\, often with a single action as its focus\, the subtlest shifts become prominent\, and the viewer has time to examine everything within the mise-en-scène. She seeks access to the tension and mystique that lay beneath the surface of familiarity. \nAbout the artist:\nJanaye Brown has exhibited at venues and film festivals including New York City’s Studio Museum Harlem\, the Dallas Video Fest\, The Banff Centre in Alberta\, Canada and Shulamit Nazarian in Los Angeles. She has participated in residencies at the Skowhegan School of\nPainting and Sculpture\, the Bruce High Quality Foundation University and Crosstown Arts as well as others. Brown received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and her BA in Cinematic Arts and Technology from California State University Monterey Bay in 2010. She currently lives and works in Xiamen\, Fujian\, China.
