SUMMARY:Johnathan Payne: Meet Me Where I'm At
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Schedule\nFriday\, May 8: Reception\, 6 – 8 pm | Live performance at 6:21 pm\nSaturday\, May 9: Artist talk at 2 pm \nArtist Statement\nIntense preoccupations with self-concept\, desire\, and tribalism are the points of departure for my recent installation and performance work. I tackle these complex personal landscapes in the studio similar to my approach outside of that space: through endurance\, perspective\, minor successes\, immediate pleasures\, Pho Binh lunch buffets\, constant longing\, and inevitable failure. This is all a journey. Utilizing pre-existing cultural objects\, movement\, body fluid\, space\, and meditative processes\, I continue to simultaneously grapple with and reprieve my poly-consciousness. Ultimately\, this show serves as a temporal sanctuary where these performative self-journeys and self-reconciliations shall unfold. \nArtist Bio\nJohnathan Payne is an emerging artist whose creative practice encompasses drawing\, painting\, collage\, performance\, and installation art. He has exhibited in various solo and group exhibitions\, including Voice of the Turtle at Tops Gallery most recently\, New Drawings at Beige in 2014\, and Pyramid Scheme! at Gallery 363 in 2013. He earned his BA in Art from Rhodes College in 2012\, and received the Sally Becker Grinspan Award for Artistic Achievement. Last November\, Johnathan was awarded an ArtsAccelerator grant from ArtsMemphis. He currently lives and maintains a studio practice in Memphis\, TN.

SUMMARY:Epic Vision
DESCRIPTION:  \nEXHIBITION SCHEDULE\nThursday\, April 30 – Saturday\, May 2 // 10am – 6pm\nSaturday\, May 2: Closing Reception // 6 – 8pm \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n“When I tell people I create\, they think I’m a musician.”- Michael Williams \nCrosstown Arts is pleased to present an exhibition of over 50 paintings by Crosstown residents Michael Williams and his mother\, Mattie Williams. Although working in clearly distinct styles\, their process involves a delicate exchange: Mattie inspired Michael to paint\, and Michael names Mattie’s paintings. Both artists are self-taught and have been painting most of their lives. Michael is visually impaired\, so he uses tools like powerful magnifying glasses and bright lights to enhance his limited field of vision\, seeking to capture realistic perspectives in his landscapes. Mattie uses acrylic paint to create abstract works with bold colors and repeated patterns\, often floral or geometric forms. Together\, their works demonstrate how the act of creating can strengthen the ties that bind people to one another — through family\, through paint. \nMichael was born with an eye disorder known as Stargardt’s Disease and recently founded a non-profit organization\, International Association for Sight Impaired Artists. The organization’s mission is to educate\, empower and support individuals who are blind or visually impaired to be involved in the visual\, performing and literary arts. Michael hopes to inspire others with sight impairments not to limit themselves creatively. \nHe has won many awards in several art competitions\, including Memphis Technical High School “Outstanding Art Student” Award in the 1980s\, St. Joseph Hospital Pen and Ink Art Competition\, Southland Mall Scholastic Art Competition\, Mid South Fair Pen and Ink Art Competition\, and the American Printing House for the Blind International Art Competition in 2009\, 2010\, 2012 and 2014.

SUMMARY:Between the Eyes
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Between the Eyes\, a group show about contemporary abstract painting and how we see it.  Just as the relationships of pitch and duration can express emotion in music\, the formal relationships of hue\, value\, shape\, and placement can collect to create meaning in abstract painting.  Featuring the work of six painters exploring distinct modes of abstraction\, the exhibition examines the way each artist uses deliberate choices to engage us in the experience of looking.  Formal cues such as gesture\, color and the use of found objects prompt us to recognize patterns and attribute meaning to certain behaviors.  Physicality contends with the pictorial as we both decipher and project meaning into the space of abstract forms. \nThe exhibition is curated by Laurel Sucsy and features work by New York-based artists Marina Adams\, Rob de Oude\, and Joe Fyfe; LA-based artist Iva Gueorguieva; Philadelphia-based artist Rubens Ghenov; and Laurel Sucsy of Memphis.

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.
