SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse Presents Women in Horror: THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. This week: THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nAmy Holden Jones turned down an editing job on E.T. to direct this movie. She made the right choice! Rita Mae Brown wrote the screenplay of THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE sometime between when she wrote the classic lesbian coming-of-age tale Rubyfruit Jungle and her long series of cat mystery novels. SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE was intended to be a commentary on the inherent sexism of the slasher genre but was filmed completely straight. THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a terrific inside joke that also delivers the goods as a skid row photocopy of HALLOWEEN\, complete with a killer who’s figuratively castrated when the tip of his power drill is hacked off.  With its stylized photography\, plot points involving pizza and an endlessly cool homemade synth score\, THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a drop-dead masterpiece of subversive trash-horror.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception — Scott Carter: Counterpoint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibition of new work by Scott Carter. The artist’s intent is that this body of work reflects a fragile intertwining of music\, performance\, and sculpture while reflecting both digital and intuitive methods of problem solving in the studio. \nAbout the exhibition:\nThis exhibition emphasizes a relationship between disparate voices. As a metaphor\, these\nvoices represent contrasting and divergent forms of the artist’s creative practice. Carter’s\ninterest in music\, performance and sculpture oscillates between utter failure\, disinterest and frustration to moments where both practices seemingly make sense existing in the same place\, both physically and metaphorically. This body of work represents the struggle to produce in both creative fields. \nDuring his recent residency at Crosstown Arts\, Carter was allowed the freedom and space to work intuitively and pursue both of these creative endeavors with the assistance of digital tools and advanced fabrication equipment. The artist’s intent is that this body of work reflects a fragile intertwining of music\, performance and sculpture while reflecting both digital and intuitive methods of problem solving in the studio. \n\nArtist statement:\nThe connections between humans and the built environment interest me\, serving as the\nprimary source material for my work. I formulate thoughtful assessments of my environment\, exploring connections between art\, design and sound. \nThe physical development of my work is related to a tactile sense for materials. Through\nthe process of examining materials and their function\, I am interested in bestowing new\nvalue and subverting function. My practice often involves a re-purposing of materials ranging from drywall\, carpet\, and fluorescent lights to used guitars\, drum sets\, and\nelectronic components. Metaphorically\, these material transitions allow me to explore my\ninterests in the way we experience culture\, objects and physical environments. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSCOTT CARTER (b. 1984\, United States) is a Wisconsin-based artist\, whose work is influenced by the experience of living amongst mass-produced materials\, spaces and objects that are inherent in contemporary architecture and design. His work manifests as immersive installations and interactive objects that facilitate subtle shifts in value and attempt to redefine utility in relation to everyday experiences. His practice parallels contemporary discourse in art\, design\, architecture\, and sound. \nScott received his MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in\n2011\, where he was the first recipient of the Eldon Danhausen Fellowship for Sculpture.\nHe has attended funded residencies at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson\, Vermont and the Ox Bow School of Art in Saugatuck\, Michigan. In addition he is a recipient of the Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship for Midwestern artists (2013) and a first place recipient of the Beers Contemporary Emerging Artist Award in Sculpture (2013) \nSelected solo shows include include Velocity – Linda Warren Projects\, Chicago\, Il (2017); The Nature of Being – Pinnacle Gallery\, Savannah\, Ga (2015); The Shape of Things – Beers Contemporary\, London (2014); Disonar – Evanston Art Center\, Evanston\, Il (2013) and Force Majeure – Linda Warren Projects\, Chicago\, Il (2012); Recent group exhibitions include as site specific installation for In Situ and Linda Warren Projects at Expo Chicago (2014)\, Building Stories – Kohler Arts Center\, Sheboygan WI (2014) and I am What I am Doing – La Esquina Gallery\, Kansas City\, MO (2014). \nIn addition\, he was a visiting artist as part of DeFINE Art 2015 at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah Georgia and recently completed a three month residency as part of the Kohler Arts/Industry program in Kohler\, Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception — Wang Chen: The Sin Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opening reception of new work by artist Wang Chen. Chen’s work will be on view in the Screening Room at Crosstown Arts and projected onto walls in the East Atrium. On view through October 20. \nWang Chen is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates installation\, performance\, drawing and animation to create digital videos that depict fantasy worlds with humanoid characters\, whom she uses to examine gender\, sexuality\, and politics. By layering different mediums into one digital composition\, Chen creates an overwhelming fantasy world of multiple\, moveable layers and elements that together become unstoppable and continuously transforming as a way of considering the possibilities of imagined worlds. \nIn her videos\, hand-sewn costumes fuse the human body into the virtual space where humanness blends in\, dissolves\, and potentially succumbs to the digital fantasy. As the costumed performer\, Chen herself becomes a physical component of the worlds she creates\, becoming multiple. These clones represent variously unstable identities:  undefined genders\, cartoonish humanoids\, ghostlike apparitions and thus can adopt multiple identities\, abstracting her own role as the artist-architect to become many things at once. \nChen’s playground of electric city-space\, neon landscapes\, and nightmarish amusement parks becomes itself a representation\, if not a fun-house mirror\, of our own reality.  The juxtaposition and melting of these dark yet fantastical scenes act as a playful reflection of Chen’s complicated response and rejection of societal norms while constructing a new vision of gender and sexuality in our world. \nThis work may not be appropriate for younger audiences. \nAbout Wang Chen:\nWang Chen was born in China and is a multimedia artist currently living and working in NYC. The installations that Chen creates begin with physical drawings. Chen makes costumes and props for her videos and builds unimaginable spaces using virtual reality. Chen received her BFA in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her work has been exhibited/screened internationally in China\, UK\, US\, Sweden\, Venezuela\, and Greece. Chen has participated in several residencies including The Studios at MASS MoCA and the NYFA Immigrant Mentoring Program. She is the fellowship recipient of Roswell Artist in Residency\, Vermont Studio Center and Nars Foundation.

SUMMARY:Jia Wang: Residual Imprint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibition of new work by Jia Wang. Jia’s work explores the traumatic memories that are prevalent in a family. Examining and displaying how trauma is revealed through complex family relationships and how it alters an individual and a family’s identity when visualized. Her work addresses both a personal and cultural perspectives\, through site-specific installation comprised of video\, collage\, and photographic images. \nIn Jia’s work\, she exploring domestic violence and sharing her visual inquiry into trauma through personal storytelling. These stories are both past’s future and future’s past\, physically and psychologically speaking. In traditional Chinese culture\, the family is the most basic unit and many aspects of Chinese life can be tied to honoring one’s parents or ancestors. Family practices\, such as interactions between family members and disciplinary actions\, are passed down from one generation to another. Family is the most intimate relationship but also the most confusing as love and hostility can be difficult to separate. \nAbout Jia Wang:\nJia Wang was born in Lanzhou\, Gnasu Province\, China. She holds a BFA in Photography from the Beijing Film Academy\, Beijing\, China and an MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology\, Rochester\, NY. Jia has exhibited internationally including in the Three Shadows Photography Art Center\, Beijing\, China\, the Yeiser Art Center\, Pauducah\, KY\, and the PH21 Gallery in Budapest\, Hungary.

SUMMARY:Wang Chen: The Sin Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Screening Room at Crosstown Arts for a new exhibition of work by Wang Chen. Chen’s work will also be exhibited on the pop-out walls in the East Atrium. \nWang Chen is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates installation\, performance\, drawing and animation to create digital videos that depict fantasy worlds with humanoid characters\, whom she uses to examine gender\, sexuality\, and politics. By layering different mediums into one digital composition\, Chen creates an overwhelming fantasy world of multiple\, moveable layers and elements that together become unstoppable and continuously transforming as a way of considering the possibilities of imagined worlds. \nIn her videos\, hand-sewn costumes fuse the human body into the virtual space where humanness blends in\, dissolves\, and potentially succumbs to the digital fantasy. As the costumed performer\, Chen herself becomes a physical component of the worlds she creates\, becoming multiple. These clones represent variously unstable identities:  undefined genders\, cartoonish humanoids\, ghostlike apparitions and thus can adopt multiple identities\, abstracting her own role as the artist-architect to become many things at once. \nChen’s playground of electric city-space\, neon landscapes\, and nightmarish amusement parks becomes itself a representation\, if not a fun-house mirror\, of our own reality.  The juxtaposition and melting of these dark yet fantastical scenes act as a playful reflection of Chen’s complicated response and rejection of societal norms while constructing a new vision of gender and sexuality in our world. \nThis work may not be appropriate for younger audiences. \nAbout Wang Chen:\nWang Chen was born in China and is a multimedia artist currently living and working in NYC. The installations that Chen creates begin with physical drawings. Chen makes costumes and props for her videos and builds unimaginable spaces using virtual reality. Chen received her BFA in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her work has been exhibited/screened internationally in China\, UK\, US\, Sweden\, Venezuela\, and Greece. Chen has participated in several residencies including The Studios at MASS MoCA\, the NYFA Immigrant Mentoring Program\, and the Crosstown Arts artist residency program. She is the fellowship recipient of Roswell Artist in Residency\, Vermont Studio Center and Nars Foundation.

SUMMARY:Austin Lucas at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Austin Lucas returns to Memphis for a performance at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts with his band\, The Bold Party\, on their fall US tour. \n\nTickets: $10\n\nDoors 7:00pm | Performance 7:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Sometimes an artist just has a voice that’s so true and so clearly coming directly from the soul that you just can’t argue with it\, and Austin Lucas is one of those guys.” – BBC Radio \nIt’s been over two decades since the songwriter packed his bags and left Bloomington\, Indiana\, the Midwestern town where he spent his childhood years falling in love with rock & roll\, embracing his punk roots\, and standing his ground whenever intolerant locals didn’t understand his way of life. He returns to that place – both creatively and physically – with his seventh studio album\, Immortal Americans. Written after a tumultuous period that found Lucas getting sober\, supporting his partner through a battle with cancer\, and breaking up with his longtime record label\, Immortal Americans is a clear-eyed album for murkier times\, rooted in stripped-down heartland rock songs that find the artist reflecting upon the changes in both his hometown and himself. \nCo-produced by Lucas and Will Johnson (Centro-matic)\, recorded/engineered by Steve Albini\, and captured in a series of live\, full-band performances\, Immortal Americans was written after Lucas resettled in Bloomington. He’d been away for years\, touring the world as an independent solo artist before signing a record deal with New West in 2013. In many ways\, the albums he released during that period were reflections of the music he’d grown up with\, from the mountain music of his father (bluegrass musician Bob Lucas) to the punk records that soundtracked his teenage years. Appropriately\, Lucas earned a fanbase as a folksinger with punk roots – or was it the other way around? – while touring the country with artists who represented both ends of that spectrum\, sharing shows with Willie Nelson one minute and Chuck Ragan the next. \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n

SUMMARY:The PRVLG at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Green Room for a performance by The PRVLG\, a musical twin duo from Memphis. This is a benefit concert for their mother who has Multiple Sclerosis. All funds raised will be donated towards her treatment \n\n\nTickets: $10\n\nDoors at 7pm | Performance 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA privilege is considered a rare opportunity\, which is exactly why The PRVLG fits this dynamic duo so effortlessly. Their act brings the rhythm section to the forefront of the stage unlike any other band around. \nThe duo\, consisting of twin brothers Christian and Christopher Underwood\, grew up surrounded by music. The brothers developed a very unique musical connection\, which is on full display in their live performances. As bass and drum players\, the pair have the ability to lock in a powerful rhythm and bass foundation\, effortlessly making up for each other’s shortcomings and complementing one another’s strengths. \nGrowing up in a musical family and listening to their father – a guitarist – play classics by the likes of Jimi Hendrix\, The Isley Brothers\, and Earth Wind & Fire\, it was only natural for them to begin writing together at the age of 16 and continue to develop their writing talent from then. Since officially forming in early 2017\, the duo named themselves The PRVLG\, chosen due to the privilege they experienced by growing up playing music together and connecting with others through the universal language. \n

SUMMARY:Two Tons of Steel at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts welcomes Americana pioneers and legends Two Tons of Steel to The Green Room. \n\nTickets: $10\nDoors 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore there was Americana\, before there was Texas Country\, Two Tons of Steel rocked a sound that blended the best of musical worlds and pushed the envelope with a signature brand of country punk. \nThe San Antonio-based group packed the small bars and local hangouts and quickly became the Alamo City’s most-loved band\, earning them a spot on the cover of Billboard Magazine in 1996. It was the beginning of a twenty year journey for the 4-piece ensemble. \nReleasing “Two Tons Of Steel” in 1994 and “Crazy For My Baby” in 1995 on Blue Fire Records\, a sponsorship deal with Lone Star Beer quickly followed. In 1996\, the band began traveling outside of Texas\, including stops at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville\, the National Theater in Havana\, Cuba\, and European tours to greet fans who had embraced their Texas-born sound. \nTwo Tons of Steel continues as an institution at Texas’ Gruene Hall\, where its annual Two Ton Tuesdays summer series draws 12\,000 fans and as a popular act at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. They have been repeatedly voted “Best Country Band” by the San Antonio Current\, one of its hometown weeklies.

SUMMARY:The Orrin Evans Trio at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for a performance by jazz pianist Orrin Evans. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7pm | Show at 7:30pm \nMany may know Orrin Evans as the pianist for Jazz juggernauts The Bad Plus. But with more than 25 albums to his credit\, without ever relying on the support of a major label\, Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist who’s made a habit of rattling the jazz world’s confining cages. That determination has paid off in accolades like topping the “Rising Star Pianist” category in the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll. \nAs a daring pianist\, Evans combines raw-edged vigor and left-field nuance into a sound wholly his own. As an adventurous composer he traverses stylistic boundaries with abandon\, drawing on full-throttle swing\, deep-rooted blues\, expressive soul\, or bracing excursions into the avant-garde. As an audacious bandleader\, he delights in daring fellow musicians to take bold risks\, whether in mutable small group settings or his raucous Captain Black Big Band. As an inventive collaborator\, his projects range from the nerve-rattling collective trio Tarbaby to the latest twist in his never predictable story\, becoming the first new member to join The Bad Plus in the band’s nearly 20-year history. \nEvans’ broad-minded\, provocative approach has led to a stunning variety of collaborations with a who’s-who of modern jazz including Nicholas Payton\, Sean Jones\, Oliver Lake\, JD Allen\, Christian McBride\, Eric Revis\, Buster Williams\, Karriem Riggins\, Bill Stewart\, Nasheet Waits\, Kevin Eubanks and Kurt Rosenwinkel\, among countless others.  \nIn 2018\, Evans relaunched his Imani Records label with a newfound focus on projects by young\, innovative musicians\, beginning with albums by saxophonist Caleb Wheeler Curtis and bassist Jonathan Michel. He’s also produced recordings by JD Walter\, Denise King\, Joanna Pascale\, Sharel Cassity\, and Eric Revis.  \nEvans pays homage to his mentors and influences while passing the torch to new generations. He’s recently performed concerts paying homage to the late Geri Allen alongside drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and a celebration of the centennial of Thelonious Monk at Duke University\, along with curating concert series at Philly’s South and New York’s Smoke. As an educator he directed the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts’ Jazz Standards and taught at Connecticut’s Litchfield Jazz Camp.

SUMMARY:Live Score to Seijun Suzuki's Detective Bureau 2-3: Go To Hell Bastards!
DESCRIPTION:Memphis-based Detective Bureau presents a live score of Seijun Suzuki’s “Detective Bureau 2-3: Go To Hell Bastards!” \nDetective Bureau explores late ’60s and early ’70s Afro-Brazilian soul jazz stylings. Featuring Joe Restivo (guitar)\, Marc Franklin (trumpet)\, Landon Moore (bass)\, Pat Fusco (keys)\, George Sluppick (drums)\, and Felix Hernandez (percussion). \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7:30pm | Performance 8pm \nSeijun Suzuki was a Japanese filmmaker\, actor\, and screenwriter. His films are known for their jarring visual style\, irreverent humor\, nihilistic cool\, and entertainment-over-logic sensibility. He made 40 predominately B-movies for the Nikkatsu Company between 1956 and 1967\, working most prolifically in the yakuza genre. His increasingly surreal style began to draw the ire of the studio in 1963 and culminated in his ultimate dismissal for what is now regarded as his magnum opus\, Branded to Kill (1967). \n

SUMMARY:The Grammy Award-Winning Rebirth Brass Band at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by the Grammy Award-winning\, New Orleans-based Rebirth Brass Band on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 6 pm | performance at 7 pm \n“UNBELIEVABLE. HARD AS HELL\,\nFREE AS A RAY OF LIGHT\, THERE IS\nNOT A BAND ON EARTH THAT IS BETTER. STUNNING.”\n— FLEA (OF THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) \n\nAbout Rebirth Brass Band:\nWhether seen on HBO’s Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf\, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers\, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands\, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. \n“Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to\,” says The New York Times\, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing\, anyone can cut loose.” \nIn the wake of the sometimes- stringent competition amongst New Orleans brass bands\, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack\, and they show no signs of slowing down.
