SUMMARY:Perpetual Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Statements \nTori Cooper \nCurrently\, my artwork focuses on the cultural\, emotional and psychological connection to physical items and the process of repetitive action. We endlessly attach emotional significance to physical items. The item then comes to represent something greater and more powerful than a simple disposable object. The item becomes a tangible extension of emotions and memory. Thus\, the mind and the spirit alike have great difficulty relinquishing these items of personal significance. \nThe series consists of interwoven reeds into 6″x6″ canvases. The movement of the reeds is seamless\, having truly no end or beginning\, but the direction of each reed changes. Some move rapidly in a whipping motion. While other pieces in the series are fluid and subtle and others cradling and protective. Each piece represents an emotional state of being present during the creation of the piece. Thus\, the series seamlessly connects the artist\, the viewer and the expressed emotional state of being in the piece. \nTrevor Simpson  \nIn this series I have set out to manipulate the plasticity of composition and form in unexpected arrangements. I allow for the viewer to be engaged in the compositional formulation of each piece. The viewer’s eye and imagination is left free to play within the negative and positive space of each piece. Thematically the series is a process-based exploration of form as well as a 2d interpretation of Tori Cooper’s 3d assemblages. \nUltimately\, the pieces in the series create a collective lexicon of seemingly disparate arrangements. The series is a commentary on synchronicity and aligning what on the surface may appear to be fragmented.

SUMMARY:PechaKucha Night Volume 12
DESCRIPTION:PechaKucha Nights began in Tokyo as an opportunity for artists\, designers and architects to show samples of their work through a concise\, timed presentation in a relaxed community setting. Now\, PechaKucha Nights take place all over the world and feature presenters from innumerably diverse backgrounds. \nThe key to PechaKucha Night is the 20×20 format: all presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each\, making each presentation succinct and dynamic. \n\nFor our latest installment of PechaKucha\, the evening’s theme is FOOD\, which goes hand-in-hand with our venue du soir. We hope you will join us. \nHere are the PechaKucha Night Volume 12 presenters:\nMiles Tamboli\, Wes Riddle\, Ben McLean\, Noah Campbell\, Margarita Sandino\, Onie Johns & Rachel Neely Williams.

SUMMARY:working writers' cocktail hour
DESCRIPTION:in the interests of further cultivating and connecting the literary community of Memphis\, story booth is excited to host Crosstown Arts’ first working writers’ cocktail hour. \nMFA students to early/mid-career/accomplished writers (meaning published and not-yet-published)—whether they be writers of poetry\, fiction\, creative nonfiction\, screenwriting\, playwriting\, journalism\, art writing—are all welcome here for an hour or so to do what it normally takes an expensive retreat to make happen: bring a group of writers together to stand around\, have a drink\, and make connections with other working writers they may or may not have known before. \nwhether or not your day-job is writing makes no difference — if you’re a working writer\, you’re invited.

SUMMARY:Richard Lou: Stories On My Back
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 10 am – 6 pm \nCrosstown Arts is pleased to present Stories On My Back\, a large-scale multi-media installation incorporating audio\, video\, digital photographs\, and tamale leaves created by Memphis artist Richard Lou. The installation\, never before seen in its entirety in Memphis\, is an immersive experience alluding to a ceremonial site where people come to share their stories and personal histories. The piece is informed by stories exchanged through the artist’s family: stories told by the artist’s mother and father\, the stories he shared with his children\, and the stories retold by his children as their own. \n \nStories On My Back from Crosstown Arts on Vimeo. \nThe thousands of tamale leaves in the installation speak to the artist’s bi-cultural heritage as a Chinese/Mexican\, or what artist/activist Guillermo Gomez-Peña would a “Chicanese\,” a Chicano/Chinese. The stories mix personal history within the larger context of the external historical forces that brought the artist’s families together\, or threatened to pull them apart. They are stories of loss\, dreams\, isolation\, ignorance\, race\, disparities of power\, assimilation\, spirit\, and subjugated knowledge and wisdom. \nIncluded in the installation is Lou’s father’s chair\, where Lou Yet Ming would sit and watch John Wayne westerns and movies about World War II. Lou’s father served in the U.S. Marine Corp during World War II and was honorably discharged as a Technical Sergeant. Lou Yet Ming’s recliner was re-designed and brought back to life by Louisiana artist Chere Labbe Doiron\, reupholstered with images of the artist’s children and his mother. It has traveled with the exhibition for the last two years and now has become an integral component of the larger installation. \nRichard Lou was born in San Diego\, CA and raised in San Diego and Tijuana\, BCN\, MX. He has over 20 years of teaching experience in higher education\, over 15 years of arts administration experience\, has curated over 30 exhibitions\, and continues to produce and exhibit art while teaching and chairing the Department of Art at the University of Memphis. \nCrosstown Arts thanks the First Tennessee Foundation | ArtsFirst and ArtMemphis for support of this exhibition and its related programs\, which are part of an ongoing artistic and community partnership between Crosstown Arts and Centro Cultural.  More details about the18-month schedule of collaborative exhibitions and events\, and several long-term cultural projects\, can be found at crosstownarts.org/centro-cultural-collaboration. \n\nStories On My Back Events \nOpening Festivities: Friday\, June 5 \n\n9am: WKNO Checking on the Arts interview with Richard Lou\n6 pm: Blessing by Danza Azteca Quetzalcoatl\n6:15 pm: Performance from singer/songwriter Savannah Long\n7 pm: Cuban and Latin folk music by Los Cantadores\n6 – 9 pm: Hot Mess Burritos food truck\, empanadas from Havana’s Pilon\, paletas by Michoachana\, elote (grilled corn) and a wide variety of cold beverages!\n\nExhibition Programs: Saturday\, June 6\, 2-4 pm\n \n\n2 pm: Lecture by Visiting Scholar Guisela Latorre\, 430 N.

Richard Lou’s artwork has been published and/or cited in various newspapers\, magazines\, catalogs\, electronic media\, and over 30 books. Lou has over 20 years of teaching experience in higher education\, over 15 years of arts administration experience\, has curated over 30 exhibitions\, and continues to produce and exhibit art while teaching and chairing the Department of Art at the University of Memphis. \nArtist Statement \n“There has never been a free people\, a free country\, a real democracy on the face of this Earth.  In a city of some 300\,000 slaves and 90\,000 so called free men\, Plato sat down and praised freedom in exquisitely elegant phrases.” Lerone Bennett Jr. \nAs a Chicano artist the recurrent themes are the subjugation of my community by the dominant culture and white privelege. These works manifest themselves in the creation of counter-images and counter-definitions made in a self-determinant manner.  As a contemporary image-maker I am interested in collecting dissonant ideas and narratives allowing them to bump into each other\, to coax new meanings and possibilities that dismantle the hierarchy of images. The work serves as an ideological\, social\, political\, and cultural matrix from which I understand my place in this world and to make a simple marking of the cultural shifts of my community. The artwork examines how communities use images and language to dehumanize the “Other” in order to ignore the “Other’s” basic human rights.  It challenges unquestioned claims to territory and legal status. \n“Art is one of the most sacred ways to communicate.” Consuelo Jimenez Underwood \nThe work that I create as a Chicano artist emanates and is in response to the love I have for my family.  The work embraces the contradictions\, the conflicts and triumphs\, the quiet and raucous moments of a routine day\, the flowering\, the decaying\, the markings and ceremonies that compose a lifetime all within a society that subjugates.  At the core\, all work I do is for them.  And in that hopeful light\, I am willing to take the chance that the power of the work will ultimately save my children who will become the inhabitants of a New Nepantla as they negotiate a home in this destabilized world. \n-Richard Lou \n— \n\n\n\nLecture on June 6\, 2 pm at 430 N. Cleveland \nStories on My Back by Richard Lou: Installation Art\, Transnationalism and the Chinese-Chicano Experience \nPerformance\, installation and new media artist Richard Lou’s work has compelled spectators to think critically about bordered identities\, power inequities\, post-colonial realities\, race relations\, and other socially relevant issues. His provocative and dynamic performances\, installations and multimedia pieces have also encouraged audiences to problematize clear distinctions between art and activism and between creative endeavors and social justice work. \nPrimarily known as a Chicano artist\, Lou’s work for the past ten years\, however\, has paid great attention to his Chinese heritage and to the transnational subjectivities that animate social identities. Having grown up in the San Diego/Tijuana border region with a Mexican mother and a Chinese father\, Lou’s experiences have been defined by the transnationalism of the border region itself but also by the biculturalism of his upbringing. \nIn this presentation\, Guisela Latorre will focus on one of the artist’s installation Stories on my Back on display at the Crosstown Arts Gallery. Without losing sight of the politically engaged and collective nature of his art\, this work is among the most introspective and deeply personal of the artist’s career. Utilizing the images and voices of the artist’s children and deploying story-telling devices throughout the installation\, Lou articulates a transnational identity that is\, on the one hand\, quite intimate and unique to his Chinese-Chicano experience and\, on the other\, broadly symptomatic of an increasingly globalized world. \nThus\, Stories on my Back embodies what cultural studies scholars Kit Dobson and Áine McGlynn identify as “the desire to advocate for artistic agency at a time when globalizing forces are increasingly calling for economic rationalizations for creative practices.” Latorre will therefore argue in this presentation that Stories on my Back eloquently speaks of the critical connections between the Chicana/o and Chinese experiences in the U.S.\, connections that represent viable forms of transnational resistance to the homogenizing and subordinating forces of globalization. \nGuisela Latorre\, Associate Professor\, Ohio State University Department of Art \nGuisela Latorre specializes in modern and contemporary U.S. Latina/o and Latin American art with a special emphasis on gender and women artists. Her first book titled Walls of Empowerment: Chicana/o Indigenist Murals from California (U. of Texas Press 2008)\, explored the recurrence of indigenist motifs in Chicana/o community murals from the 1970s to the turn of the millennium. Her other publications include “Border Consciousness and Artivist Aesthetics: Richard Lou’s Performance and Multimedia Artwork” in the American Studies Journal (2012)\, “New Approaches to Chicana/o Art: The Visual and the Political as Cognitive Process” in Image & Narrative (2010)\, and “Icons of Love and Devotion: Alma López’s Art” in Feminist Studies (Spring/Summer 2008). Latorre’s recent research activities include the co-editorship of the feminist journal Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies and work on a second book project of the graffiti and mural movement in Chile during the post-dictatorship era. She teaches classes on Latina/Chicana feminism\, visual culture and Latina/o art. \n\n\n\n— \nCrosstown Arts is a contemporary arts organization dedicated to further cultivating the creative community in Memphis.
