SUMMARY:Book Release: Memphis Noir
DESCRIPTION:Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies\, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. \nFeaturing brand-new stories by: Richard J. Alley\, David Wesley Williams\, Dwight Fryer\, Jamey Hatley\, Adam Shaw\, Penny Register-Shaw\, Kaye George\, Arthur Flowers\, Suzanne Berube Rorhus\, Ehi Ike\, Lee Martin\, Stephen Clements\, Cary Holladay\, John Bensko\, Sheree Renée Thomas\, and Troy L. Wiggins. \nFrom the introduction by Laureen P. Cantwell & Leonard Gill: \n“A city equal parts darkness and hope. A scarred city. An often violent one. But a resilient city too. \nThat’s our Memphis. \nLike many cities\, we have a namesake—in Egypt\, Men-nefer became Menfe became Memphis\, enduring and beautiful\, on the banks of the Nile. Centuries later\, another continent\, another people\, another river: Memphis\, Tennessee\, the soul of the Mississippi Delta\, was formed. We are a place born of history\, inhabited as much by memory as by the living—the past and present inextricably and inescapably linked . . . . Memphis is marvels and misfits—two-faced and unabashedly so.   \nWe are Memphis\, and this is our noir.”

SUMMARY:Another Life
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 30\, 6-9 pm\nFeaturing work by Andrea Morales\, Yasmine Omari\, Louis “Ziggy” Tucker\,  Stephanie Wexler\, and a collaboration by Carla Worth & Andrew Gafford. \n“Life and death are mirrors. To talk about one is to talk about the other\, despite the distance in the language between them: life with its fragility\, versus death and its finality. \n\nWe choose to remember because we want to feel who we loved that came and passed before us. It’s for our own benefit to do so. We keep the dead alive in our dreams and photographs. We see them where we used to live\, we see them where they were last seen. We see them as we last saw them. Our circles grow closer\, tighter and are sometimes preserved and strengthened by death. \nWhy we come to life\, how we leave at death\, how we are remembered: our questions shape the narrative of the ultimate. We turn the questions into rituals. Chief among them is our memory. \nIt’s a comfort that the world does not empty of people. We welcome the ghosts as evidence of life. This show collects works that examine that memory through photography\, video and mixed media by a group of local artists.” – Andrea Morales \n\nCo-curated by Andrea Morales in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nImage:\nINDIANOLA\, MS – May 29\, 2015: at the public viewing for B.B. King at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center on Friday morning.\nCredit: Andrea Morales for The New York Times

SUMMARY:Joel Parsons: You Are the Hole\, An Exhibition in Four Acts
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, October 9\, 6 – 9 pm\nPerformance: Sunday\, October 25\, 2 pm\nYou Are the Hole is the theatre of desire\, abstracted. By presenting the self as something constructed and performed\, Joel Parsons gently prods the human dichotomy of yearning to divulge and yearning to conceal. \nUsing the structural components of a theatre\, he establishes an installation space that is simultaneously formal and intimate. Occupying the transformed stage are sculptures in voluptuous pinks and nudes\, a flesh-like latex curtain and dozens of small drawings. Parsons has made a zine to accompany the exhibition\, which will be available in the gallery. \nThe culmination is Parsons’ performance of his originally-choreographed piece\, “Beholding and Being Held.” \n\nJoel Parsons is an artist\, writer\, and curator based in Memphis\, TN. He is an Assistant Professor of Art and Director of Clough-Hanson Gallery at Rhodes College\, co-director of Beige\, an otherwise space for art and performance\, and a founding member of the ArtsMemphis Artist Advisory Council. A graduate of Rhodes College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, he has exhibited his work in Memphis at the Powerhouse\, Material\, and Southfork Gallery\, as well as at Western Exhibtions in Chicago\, and venues in Peru\, India\, and South Africa. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Tom Piazza
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our latest collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood as we welcome Tom Piazza to Memphis to read from and sign his new novel\, A FREE STATE. Tom Piazza is the author of ten books\, including the novel City Of Refuge\, which won the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction\, and the post-Katrina classic Why New Orleans Matters. Other works include Devil Sent The Rain\, a collection of his essays and journalism\, the Faulkner Society Award-winning novel My Cold War\, and the short-story collection Blues and Trouble\, which won the James Michener Award for Fiction. Tom also wrote for the HBO drama series Treme. \nNo less a literary critic than Bob Dylan has said\, “Tom Piazza’s writing pulsates with nervous electrical tension – reveals the emotions that we can’t define.” A well known writer on American music as well\, Tom won a Grammy Award for his album notes to Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: A Musical Journey and is a three-time winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for Music Writing. His writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Bookforum\, The Oxford American\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and many other periodicals. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, he lives in New Orleans.\n \n\nA FREE STATE \nThe year is 1855. Blackface minstrelsy is the most popular form of entertainment in a nation about to be torn apart by the battle over slavery. Henry Sims\, a fugitive slave and a brilliant musician\, has escaped to Philadelphia\, where he earns money living by his wits and performing on the street. He is befriended by James Douglass\, leader of a popular minstrel troupe struggling to compete with dozens of similar ensembles\, who imagines that Henry’s skill and magnetism might restore his troupe’s sagging fortunes. \nThe problem is that black and white performers are not allowed to appear together onstage. Together\, the two concoct a masquerade to protect Henry’s identity\, and Henry creates a sensation in his first appearances with the troupe. Yet even as their plan begins to reverse the troupe’s decline\, a brutal slave hunter named Tull Burton has been employed by Henry’s former master to track down the runaway and retrieve him\, by any means necessary. \nBursting with narrative tension and unforgettable characters\, shot through with unexpected turns and insight\, A FREE STATE is a thrilling reimagining of the American story by a novelist at the height of his powers. \n

SUMMARY:No Brag Pure Fact: The Art of Graceland Too
DESCRIPTION:  \nOpening Reception: Wednesday\, September 23\, 6 – 9 pm\nIn partnership with Gonerfest 12\, Goner Records and Crosstown Arts present No Brag Pure Fact\, an exhibition of artifacts and exclusive footage from Graceland Too. Included are some of Paul MacLeod’s own Elvis-inspired outsider artworks\, notebooks he kept\, and mounted photographs of visitors to his house\, all courtesy of Friends of Graceland Too. Filmmakers Jeffrey Jensen and Geoffrey Shrewsbury have also contributed video footage of MacLeod and clips from their upcoming documentary\, The Rise and Fall of Graceland Too. \nAt the reception\, meet special guests and have the opportunity to purchase Graceland Too Memorabilia\, a commemorative 45 RPM record and “Friends Of Graceland Too” t-shirts. \nExhibition List (PDF)\n\nSpecial Thanks\nThe Friends of Graceland Too\, Filmmakers Jeffrey Jensen and Geoffrey Shrewsbury (The Rise and Fall of Graceland Too)\, Marie Claire Underwood \n\nWho was Paul MacLeod? \nElvis Presley fans tend to be an especially devoted lot\, but Paul MacLeod possessed a zeal few could rival. Driven by his perverse affinity for The King\, he turned his own Holly Springs\, MS home into Graceland Too\, an obsessive\, candy-colored shrine dedicated to all things Elvis\, where his ongoing mission was amassing all of the Presley ephemera he could get his hands on and documenting every mention of the star he could find via radio\, television and film. In addition to being a dogged curator of kingly dreck\, MacLeod was known as a bombastic personality with the eccentric habit of giving lengthy\, frenetic tours of his home to anyone who stopped by\, 24 hours a day. \nSpectacle to some\, sanctuary to others\, Graceland Too was a wayward beacon that attracted Elvis fans from all over the world. \nPaul MacLeod passed away in July of 2014\, and over the past year\, many have offered their time and resources in service of preserving what became his life’s work: sheltering strange treasures and welcoming fellow pilgrims on the road to Graceland (Too).
