The Peruvian-born and Miami-raised photographer’s ongoing project looks at the details of life in the city’s neighborhoods (particularly in Crosstown and North Memphis) through documentary and portraiture work. Motivated by her background as a photojournalist at community newspapers\, this addresses a communion of sorts with Memphis as a new home. \nThe studio space afforded by the residency is dubbed “Daisy Curtain” Studio for the season and serves as a means to meet folks while developing studio portraiture practices. Come visit Daisy Curtain\, view some work in progress and learn a little about the documentary process. Folks who come by also have the option of having their portrait made\, perhaps as part of the project\, but mostly because there’s no such thing as a bad face. Participants will get a free print and/or digital file for their time. \n\n\n\nThe artist will host 2 additional portrait sessions over the summer: \n\nSunday\, July 24\, 2016; 1PM-5PM\nSunday\, July 31\, 2016; 1PM-5PM \nLooking to schedule some time?

The ins and outs of bold face lettering\, outlining of text and images\, and unusual use of paint has changed the way in which we view spaces and walls. They have become way-findings and geographical markers for communities and these artistic narratives and colorful writings on walls mark the spaces and communities we inhabit. Muralists and graffiti writers are often the first to recognize the potential in abandoned spaces and the first to act on the transformation of those spaces. We often celebrate these markers by taking photos\, writing blogs\, sharing on social media\, and the favorite\, posing in front of the painted artworks for the perfect memory. Paint Memphis strives to showcase the talent of these artists who use our walls to tell their stories. This is Inside Outsiders.” \nPresented by Paint Memphis\nin collaboration with Crosstown Arts \n  \n  URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/inside-outsiders/ CATEGORIES:430 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Artboard-1-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20160722T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20160813T130000 DTSTAMP:20260518T124551 CREATED:20160425T204743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160726T191308Z UID:10002763-1469163600-1471093200@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:FISH DESCRIPTION:On view Tuesday-Saturday\, 10 am – 6 pm through August 13\nGallery Talk: Friday\, August 5\, 5:30 pm\nExperience a magical underwater world. From the minds of Laura Jean Hocking\, Sarah Fleming\, and Christopher Reyes\, FISH is an immersive\, site-specific display combining traditional audio\, visual\, and sculptural media with technology.\n\n\nRECENT PRESS \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLaura Jean Hocking\n\nThe universe was mysteriously created; fourteen billion years later Laura Jean Hocking became a filmmaker.

Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble existence with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest; handsome; intelligent); Cob (short; heavy set; a bit slow); and Chimney (the youngest; thin; ill-tempered). Several hundred miles away in southern Ohio\, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his son\, Eddie\, and his wife\, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family’s entire fortune\, his life is put on a surprising\, unforgettable\, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the Jewetts. No good can come of it. Or can it? \nIn the gothic tradition of Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah\, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers\, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in increasingly dark and horrific ways\, placing Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the genre’s literary masters. \n“In 1917\, just as another hellish August was starting to come to an end along the border that divides Georgia and Alabama\, Pearl Jewett awakened his sons before dawn one morning with a guttural bark that sounded more animal than man. The three young men arose silently from their particular corners of the one room shack and pulled on their filthy clothes\, still damp with the sweat of yesterday’s labors. A mangy rat covered with scabs scuttled up the rock chimney\, knocking bits of mortar into the cold grate. Moonlight funneled through gaps in the chinked log walls and lay in thin milky ribbons across the red dirt floor. With their heads nearly touching the low ceiling\, they gathered around the center of the room for breakfast\, and Pearl handed them each a bland wad of flour and water fried last night in a dollop of leftover fat. There would be no more to eat until evening\, when they would all get a share of the sick hog they had butchered in the spring\, along with a mass of boiled spuds in wild greens scooped onto dented plates with a hand that was never clean from a pot that was never washed. Except for the occasional rain\, every day was the same.”\n— from The Heavenly Table \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\n\nDonald Ray Pollock\, recipient of the 2009 PEN/Bingham Fellowship\, made his literary debut in 2008 with the critically acclaimed story collection\,Knockemstiff.  He worked as a laborer at the Mead Paper Mill in Chillicothe\, Ohio\, from 1973 to 2005.  He holds an MFA from Ohio State University. His work has appeared in\, among other publications\, Epoch\, Granta\, and theNew York Times. \n\nADVANCE PRAISE\n\nAdvance praise for The Heavenly Table: \n“With furious prose and a Faulknerian eye for character\, Pollock (The Devil All the Time) populates his second novel with dozens of memorable people who embody America’s headlong leap toward the future in the early 20th century. \nIn 1917\, everything changes for the Jewett brothers—Cane\, the capable one; Cob\, the “slow” one; and Chimney\, the hothead—upon their father’s sudden ascension to the “heavenly table.” With the exploits of their pulp fiction hero Bloody Bill Bucket fresh in their minds\, the brothers embark on a violent journey north\, escaping the backbreaking\, fetid swamps on the Georgia-Alabama border and their lives under the thumb of sadistic landowner Maj. Thaddeus Tardweller. In southern Ohio\, aging farmer Ellsworth Fiddler and his wife wait for their prodigal son to return home after a brief absence\, during which he may or may not have enlisted in the United States Army to fight in Europe. Facing inexorable change—automobiles\, airplanes\, the machinery of war and agriculture—Ellsworth and others who frequent the local mercantile are “in agreement that the world now seemed head over heels in love with what tycoons and politicians kept referring to as ‘progress.’ ” But the Fiddlers cannot fathom how their lives will be transformed when the Jewetts ride into town on a crime spree that has made them the most wanted men in the country. \nSet against the backdrop of America’s involvement in WWI and the rise of motorized and electrical technology\, Pollock’s gothic\, relentless imagination seduces readers into a fertile time in America’s history\, exploring the chaos\, wonder\, violence\, sexuality\, and ambition of a nation on the cusp of modernity—and the outmoded notion of redemption in a world gone to hell.”\n—Publishers Weekly (starred) \n“Donald Ray Pollock is a master-worker.  This great novel flows like buttermilk\, so smooth and entertaining that you won’t be ready for the left hook it delivers to your heart or its sophisticated moral analysis of human life.  Pollock has an omniscient eye like Gogol\, taking in a vast scene while spinning tales within tales.  Readers will love him\, writers will study him.”\n—Atticus Lish\, author of Preparation for the Next Life \n“The Heavenly Table is brilliant and unforgettable.  In his trademark blend of humor and pathos\, Donald Ray Pollock gives us a view into life’s darkest corners\, without ever forgetting there is a lighter side as well.”\n—Philipp Meyer\, author of American Rust and The Son \n“Think of The Heavenly Table as an antic\, shambolic\, guilty pleasure. Pollock’s prose is compulsively readable and often very funny.”\n—Booklist \n“A darkly comic gorefest by a gifted writer.”\n—Kirkus \n“In a crowded room full of voices\, Don Pollock’s voice is so distinct you’ll hear first and won’t ever\, ever forget it. Nor will you want to. And the kicker is this: He somehow keeps getting better.”\n—Tom Franklin\, author of Poachers and Crooked Letter\, Crooked Letter \n“The Heavenly Table is the latest and strongest evidence that Donald Ray Pollock is one of the most talented and original writers at work today. With uniquely vivid and graceful prose he renders a tale destined to linger in the reader’s mind\, a story by turns violent and darkly amusing\, and always powerful. The novel is sure to be ranked among the year’s best.”\n—Michael Koryta\, New York Times-bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead \n“The Heavenly Table is a ferociously gothic ballad about desperate folks with improbable dreams and scant means. It is potent and chimeric\, dank\, violent\, swamped in tragedy—and funny as hell.”\n—Daniel Woodrell\, author of The Maid’s Version and Winter’s Bone URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/visiting-writer-donald-ray-pollock/ LOCATION:story booth\, 438 N.

Their “Anarchy” shorts category is an attempt to recapture the early spirit of the festival. The casual cinephile might associate the Anarchy program with avant-garde\, transgressive\, or underground cinema. It is all of these things and none of them\, it is an anti-genre\, the form of resistance to dominant cultural paradigms. The films value innovation of form\, violation of taboo\, and disdain for institutional modes of representation. \n7 pm doors open | 7:30 pm screening | Pay-what-you can admission | Free food & drinks \nSUPPORTED BY ARTSMEMPHIS AND THE FIRST TENNESSEE FOUNDATION | ARTSFIRST URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/microcinema-club-slamdance-shorts/ CATEGORIES:430,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MicroCinema-Club.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20160712T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20160712T160000 DTSTAMP:20260518T124551 CREATED:20160524T195707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160627T220923Z UID:10002788-1468330200-1468339200@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Film Fest Submission Strategy DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6:30 PM; Panel discussion begins at 7:00 PM\nComplimentary food and beverages will be available \nThere are over 4\,000 film festivals in the world and the options are overwhelming.

Our approach to pricing can effect the local arts economy and what others can charge for their work. How do we price responsibly? \nJoin us for a discussion with Robert Hollingsworth\,  Kenny Wayne Alexander\, and Jim Masterson to explore various perspectives on pricing artwork as well as commissions and other types of projects. \nProgram begins at 6 pm\nComplimentary food and drinks  \nHustle: professional development for artists is a free program organized by ArtsMemphis\, UrbanArt Commission\, and Crosstown Arts.
