SUMMARY:Opening Reception — Distilled: The Narrative Transformed
DESCRIPTION:A 30-year survey of Pinkney Herbert’s vibrant body of work.  \nThis exhibition tracks Herbert’s transition from his narrative beginnings through the development of a personal abstract vocabulary that both thrills and seduces the viewer. \nOn view through through July 3 \nCurated by Sam Yates\, T. Michael Martin\, and David Lusk in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \n\nArtist Statement:\nSince 2008\, I have divided my time between Memphis and New York. Working in both cities has inspired a sense of exploration and a certain amount of nervous energy in my paintings and drawings. My intent is to allow for the funky\, raw history of Memphis to collide with the frenetic energy of New York City. This dichotomy fires my intuitive impulses\, allowing them to surface and meet head​-on in an ever-changing conflict​ between the emotional and the cerebral. The gestural marks I make attempt to bridge that gap. I am influenced by many other sources\, including the figure\, architecture\, maps\, water\, music\, urban imagery\, and digital technology. During the last few years\, my goal has been to expand my abstract language to question and illuminate the connections and contradictions between my interior world and the real world. \nAbout the Artist:\nPinkney Herbert was born in Charlotte\, NC in 1954. He received his BA from Rhodes College and his MFA from the University of Memphis. Herbert is the recipient of Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Tennessee Arts Commission\, and USIA-Arts  America. He is has exhibited throughout the US\, Europe\, Japan\, and Southeast Asia. His art is in numerous national and international collections and in the permanent collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art\, Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, Memphis Brooks Museum of Art\, and the Arkansas Arts Center\, among others. \nHerbert is represented by David Lusk Gallery\, Memphis\, TN; Sandler Hudson Gallery\, Atlanta\, GA; Boyd Satellite\, New Orleans\, LA; ADA Gallery\, Richmond\, VA; and Greg Thompson Fine Arts\, North Little Rock\, AR. He is a fellow and has served as trustee of the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA)\, Amherst\, VA (2008-2017). He currently serves as president of VCCA-France\, a residency program in Auvillar\, France\, and has served on that board since 2009. He is also the founding director of Marshall Arts\, an alternative gallery\, performance\, and studio space he established in Memphis in 1992. For the past ten years\, he has divided his time equally between New York and Memphis. \nIn November 2015\, the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville mounted a 30-year survey of Herbert’s work entitled Distilled: The Narrative Transformed. In 2013-2014\, Herbert was awarded a year-long studio as part of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Space Program in Brooklyn\, NY. \nHerbert has taught painting and drawing at the University of Georgia Study Abroad Program in Cortona\, Italy\, and also at the Penland School of Crafts\, the Arrowmont School\, the Telluride School of Painting\, Rhodes College\, the University of Memphis\, and the Memphis College of Art. He has been a visiting artist at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, TN; the Academy of Fine Arts\, Helsinki\, Finland; the Institute of Fine Arts\, Lahti\, Finland; the Academy of Fine Arts\, Prague\, Czech Republic; University of Fine Arts\, Hanoi\, Vietnam; and the Oberfalzer Kuntzlerhaus\, Schwandorf\, Germany.

SUMMARY:YokYok From France to Memphis
DESCRIPTION:Paris-based artist group Alterier YokYok will present a talk about Treedom\, a place-making initiative and art installation located on A.W. Willis between Second and Third Streets in the Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC). \nYokYok artists will also discuss other similar projects they have worked on around the world. \nAfter the talk\, there will be a group bicycle ride from Crosstown Concourse to the installation site. MMDC will serve popsicles at the site. \n\nAbout the artist:\n\n\n\n\nYokYok tries to adopt different project scales\, from urban projects to micro-architecture. Ephemeral installations\, rehabilitation\, transformation\, mobile\, light\, or long-term evolutionary projects are many tools that can give life to object-architecture and that are settled throughout their work. \nYokYok has the ambition to enlarge architecture fields. Timescales\, as well as size scales\, specific to each project\, lead architecture to merge with other disciplines  (landscape design\, urban design\, contemporary art\, scenography\, photography\, video). \nYokYok was founded in 2009 by Steven Fuhrman\, Samson Lacoste\, and Luc Pinsard after they received degrees at the school of architecture Paris-Val-de-Seine.

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Filming on Film
DESCRIPTION:Many filmmakers might argue that the film vs. digital debate is dead in the water and that digital has finally won out for good.

SUMMARY:Screening of The Departure
DESCRIPTION:Indie Memphis presents a screening of The Departure. \nIttetsu Nemoto\, a former punk-turned-Buddhist-priest in Japan\, has made a career out of helping suicidal people find reasons to live. But this work has come increasingly at the cost of his own family and health\, as he refuses to draw lines between his patients and himself. THE DEPARTURE captures Nemoto at a crossroads\, when his growing self-destructive tendencies lead him to confront the same question his patients ask him: what makes life worth living? \nFeaturing Q&A with Mike LaBonte (Memphis Crisis Center) and Joann Self Selvidge (Memphis Women in Film).

The mission of the organization is to promote the idea that substance – not surface – is the heart of music creation and perception. We live in an era where dogma is out of place; composers can\, and should\, draw from an unprecedentedly broad array of influences in their work – including popular music\, avant-garde techniques\, and everything in between. The ten ICEBERG composers hail from different schools and cultivate radically different sounds\, but their contrasting musical languages belie shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. ICEBERG is committed to radical stylistic inclusiveness\, excellence of craft\, dialogue with the audience\, and a modernization of the concert-going experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers.

SUMMARY:The Music of Michael Brecker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $15 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm \nJazz tribute to saxophonist Michael Brecker featuring Lannie McMillian (tenor sax)\, Tony Thomas (piano)\, Austin Bradley (drums)\, Gerard Harris (guitar)\, and Scott Reed (bass). \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. \nMichael Leonard Brecker (March 29\, 1949 – January 13\, 2007) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He was awarded 15 Grammy Awards as both performer and composer. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music in 2004\, and was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2007. \n\nAbout Lannie McMillan:\nLannie McMillan is a lifelong\, full-time jazz performer. Lannie graduated from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Education. He has been a staff musician at many recording studios including Stax Records\, Shoe Productions\, and the Hi-Cream Studios. He has also performed with many well-known jazz artists\, such as Stan Kenton\, Buddy DeFranco\, Lou Soloff\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Clark Terry\, Louis Bellson\, Maynard Ferguson\, and Don Menza. In addition\, he participated in a blues seminar given at King George College and performed at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1993. Lannie McMillian is the featured saxophonist for Sunday Brunch at Owen Brennans. \n\nAbout Strictly Jazz Entertainment:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.

DESCRIPTION:Indie Memphis and Temple Israel present a screening of Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405\, the Academy Award winner for 2018 Documentary Short Subject. \nThis is a portrait of a brilliant 56-year-old artist who is represented by one of Los Angeles’ top galleries. Her body of raw\, emotional work reveals a lifetime of extreme depression and anxiety. \nThe artist\, Mindy Alper\, has suffered through electro-shock therapy\, multiple commitments to mental institutions\, and a 10-year period without speech. Her only consistent means of communicating has been to channel her hyper self-awareness into drawings and sculpture of powerful psychological clarity. \nThrough an examination of her work\, interviews\, reenactments\, the building of an eight-and-a-half-foot paper-mache bust of her beloved psychiatrist\, we learn how she has emerged from a life of darkness and isolation to a life that includes love\, trust\, and laughter. \nIndie Memphis Nights is presented by Orion FCU

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - The Music of Nancy Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Ticket sales for the Music of Nancy Wilson have sold out. Please check back next month for details on our next Crosstown Jazz Series concert. \nDoors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm \nJazz tribute to Grammy-winning jazz songstress Nancy Wilson featuring D’Monet (vocalist)\, Darryl Sanford (piano)\, Carl Casperson (acoustic bass)\, Jonathan Bass (guitar)\, Mike Assad (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. \nNancy Wilson (born February 20\, 1937) is an American singer with more than seventy albums\, and three Grammy Awards. \n\n \nAbout D’Monet:\nHow an artist starts a journey can say a lot about their destination; belting out melodies from the womb is a divine beginning. The classically trained voice known as D’Monet cannot be defined as a Jazz\, Rhythm and Blues\, or Pop singer … but she has redefined the meaning of the traditional soul artist. \nD’Monet allows you to travel on contorted twists of loves’ successes and failures\, all while exercising her massive vocal prowess. Nurturing her vocal gifts from the tender age of 4\, along with developing her ear for the piano by 7\, she now is a seasoned veteran. \nD’Monet has shared her soul from New York to Los Angeles\, but it’s only natural she makes Memphis\, Tennessee the home of her “Futuristic Soul.” As D’Monet inspires those within her artistic circle\, she soaks inspiration from classic triple threat artists\, such as Anita Baker\, Oleta Adams\, Celine Dion\, Luther Vandross\, Stevie Wonder and Rachelle Ferrell. \nD’Monet has a gift for building bridges between a song and her audience\, crossing cultural and musical genres. This elegant songstress approaches each note with a sophisticated passion\, which leaves the listener addicted and wanting more. D’Monet’s recordings can only be matched by her live performances in various venues around Memphis\, TN. She has been featured on numerous stages and sets\, and her sound has allowed her to branch out across several genres. \nShe was honored to perform as the special guest for Black Enterprise’s Women of Power Summit in 2012. Having shared the stage with Soul Crooner Eric Roberson\, and also having a brief stint as a background singer for Blackstreet’s Dave Hollister\, D’Monet has become a musical mainstay\, particularly in the city of Memphis. In 2011\, D’Monet was featured on Markevius Faulkner‘s hit single “Day One\,” which received major radio airplay on WHAL-FM’S 95.7 Hallelujah FM. In the wake of “Day One”’s success\, D’Monet released her debut single\, “Oooh Baby (Got Your Back).” Her quest to continue along her musical journey is just beginning. \n\nAbout Strictly Jazz Entertainment:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.
