DESCRIPTION:Fall tour stop for hip-hop artist TAME and electronic producer AF THE NAYSAYER. \nAbout TAME\nThe Aspiring Me (a.k.a. TAME) is the oldest son of late Houston hip-hop legend Big Mello. Lineage aside\, TAME has gained a reputation not only as one of the city’s wittiest MCs\, but also as one of its most versatile producers. Since 2010\, he has toured across North America and amassed a sizable discography; “OK Whatever\,” his second album and sixth release overall\, was released this past spring. Fans of artists like Chance the Rapper\, Childish Gambino\, and Fat Tony (who guests on TAME’s latest album\, “OK Whatever”) will greatly enjoy TAME’s music. \nAbout AF THE NAYSAYER\nAF THE NAYSAYER is a New Orleans-based producer whose music blends 1980s R&B with 1990s G-funk. His debut EP\, “The Autodidact Instrumentals\,” has served as a backdrop for many BMX web edits (Fitbikeco\, Dan’s Comp\, ESPN). AF has performed 300+ shows across North America since the EP’s release\, while also curating “Dolo Jazz Suite\,” a regional showcase for fellow beatmakers. He is also the New Orleans ambassador for Red Bull Music Academy. AF will release his follow-up EP\, “Armed Wing Battle Unit\,” this month. Fans of artists like Dam-Funk\, Flying Lotus\, and Lone will greatly enjoy AF’s music.

SUMMARY:The Moonpie Project Presents Vitus Shell
DESCRIPTION:A new mural by Vitus Shell \nLocation: Crosstown Arts alley between 430 & 438 N. Cleveland \nFree food + drinks \nThe Moonpie Project is an ongoing\, rotating mural series curated by Michael Roy in memory of muralist Brad Wells. \nOrganized in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \n\nVitus Shell’s paintings encompass a depth and intensity usually displayed in the work of artists far past his age. While a student at Memphis College of Art\, the Monroe\, Louisiana\, native traveled and learned more about different cultures and art forms. He attended the National Black Fine Arts Show in 1999 for the first time and received a first-hand view of the inner workings of the art world. Other artists he met while at MCA who have continuously inspired him include Brenda Joysmith\, George Hunt\, and Alonzo Davis. \nTo date\, he has accumulated an impressive list of achievements\, some of which include: participating in exhibits at universities\, museums\, and private galleries across the country; painting a mural for the National Civil Rights Museum’s NBA Pioneers exhibit; and being commissioned to do public art by the Memphis UrbanArt Commission. Opportunities for Shell continue to arise for him and he leaves himself open to all they have to offer. He is humble about his bright future\, yet poised to become of the greatest artistic “voices” of his generation.

SUMMARY:Mellotron Record Release & Pick-up
DESCRIPTION:Duets for Mellotron — a blue vinyl gatefold LP package of a live performance by Jonathan Kirkscey and Robby Grant\, organized in collaboration with Winston Eggleston — will be available for pre-order pick-up on January 13\, 14\, 17 and 18. A limited number of copies will also be available to the general public for $20 each. \nTimes for pick-up:\nFriday 1/13: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.\n(On Friday\, from 6-8 p.m.\, there will be screenings of Winston Eggleston’s “Liquid Light Show” and Crosstown Arts’ Mellotron video. Jonathan and Robby will be on hand for a meet-and-greet\, and cocktails will be available).\nSaturday 1/14: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\n Sunday 1/15: CLOSED\n Monday 1/16: CLOSED\n Tuesday 1/17: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\n Wednesday 1/18: 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. \nThe album was originally performed during the “Duets for Mellotron” event at Crosstown Arts on April 16-17\, 2016. \nFacebook event for pre-order pick-up \n\nThis unique performance — the world’s first Mellotron duet — features an obscure but ingenious keyboard instrument invented in the 1940s which was designed to reproduce the sound of virtually any acoustic\, electromechanical\, or synthesized instrument. \nThe Mellotron is essentially a giant cassette tape player\, operated manually by pressing keys on a keyboard. When a key is struck\, a prerecorded sound is played/heard\, conceptually making the Mellotron an analog forerunner to digital sampling. \nThe M400 and a new M4000 cycling Mellotron\, from Winston Eggleston’s small but diverse Mellotron collection\, will be played at the performance. Eggleston will also share a series of new site-specific digital projections to complement the music. \n

Participating artists are only asked to be open to (and interested in) considering reactions to their work by the group\, which will always be done in a supportive\, constructive and casual environment\, but could at the same time be challenging. \n\nTo participate\, artists can sign up here: \nOpen Crit Request form \n  \nContact Mary Jo at maryjo@crosstownarts.org with any questions!  \nArtists are asked to bring no more than 8 individual pieces (in any medium).

SUMMARY:1978 Frontier Classic at Freedom River
DESCRIPTION:A high energy two-man “opera\,” combining elements of theatrics\, music and projection art\, that runs approximately 30 minutes.\n\n \nPlot description:\nA proud young man and his weather-beaten partner approach the end of a fur-gathering journey in this romanticized tableau. The 1978 Frontier Classic seeks to identify people and their patterns\, from the Yukon to the Grid Iron. Jake and Ryan don their buckskins\, chow down on a bucket of wings\, and crack open a cold one in this great American fanfare.\n \nThe 1978 Frontier Classic explores parallels between the years 1848\, 1978\, and today. We are interested in representing people\, their patterns\, and how they relate to contemporary American patriotism. Research and specificity are paramount in our work. Our accuracy and research behind each element of the piece is contrasted with a superficial layer of absurdity. \nPresented by Goldstar

SUMMARY:Grid Gestures
DESCRIPTION:New work by Julie Bennett Ashton using the grid as a compositional element \nThat modernist device the grid is the inspirational fulcrum underlying this body of work. Instead of dominating the art\, the grid serves as a flexible suggestion: thus this simple pattern becomes less stubborn on a compositional level and is thereby freed from its connotative roles as formal rubric and conceptual cage.
