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.

While the mantra may be better to beg forgiveness than ask permission\, sometimes it pays to get good advice on the front end. Join entertainment attorneys Malcolm Futhey\, Anita Modak-Truran and Bruce Newman as they argue the case that filmmakers should be aware of the law and seek good counsel. \n\nShoot & Splice is presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts with the support of ArtsMemphis and FirstTennessee Foundation | ArtsFirst.

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.

A blue and white Pyrex bowl recalls helping Grandma mix stuffing for holidays past. A cut-crystal candy dish reminds us just how much we love that old-world pink color. A darkly framed formula-landscape evokes dreams of scary monsters. A planet-shaped radio\, reflecting design aspects of the early Star Wars days\, reminds us of the exact one we had as a kid\, except in yellow. These objects and curiosities are a ripe cache for inspiration – as is the community at the Cleveland Street Flea Market where some of the vendors have been in business there since the market opened sixteen years ago. \nArtists are invited to participate in the Belongings exhibition by purchasing any object of inspiration from the Cleveland Street Flea Market to transform into (or use as inspiration for) a new work of art. \nAll artists are welcome to participate regardless of their level of expertise or prior art experience. \n***Opening Reception: Friday\, March 27\, 6-9 pm PLUS installation by Mark Nowell at the Cleveland Street Flea Market AND open hours at you+me on view at 422 N. Cleveland Gallery\n***Gallery Crawl + Group Discussion: Saturday\, March 28\, 2 pm\n***Exhibition open: Friday-Sunday\, March 27-29\, noon – 6 pm \nAn open call exhibition organized by Crosstown Arts and the Cleveland Street Flea Mark \nDownload Belongings artwork list \nPlease contact Mary Jo Karimnia (626-6298 / maryjo@crosstownarts.org) or individual artists with sales inquiries.

As a rule\, no two >mancontrol< gigs are the same\, musically speaking\, and the group refuses to play in traditional rock-club venues. Catch it if you can. — J.D.
