SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: The Director's Intuition
DESCRIPTION:Monthly filmmaking forum presented by Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts \nApril Program: The Director’s Intuition with Morgan Jon Fox \nMorgan Jon Fox (Feral\, This Is What Love In Action Looks Like\, OMG/HaHaHa) will lead a hands-on workshop garnered towards understanding\, fine-tuning and following one’s intuition as a director. We’ll ask the question of where our ideas come from\, and how we know if an idea is good or not. We’ll discuss when we need to listen to feedback or not\, when it’s a good idea to burn it all down following our dreams\, and when it’s best to lay a project to rest and move on. Through some simple audience-participation oriented exercises\, we’ll start to look at what makes humans tick and what lies at the core of great dramatic filmmaking. \nNamed on of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” by Filmmaker Magazine\, Morgan Jon Fox is a Memphis-based filmmaker/producer who has directed 4 feature films (This Is What Love In Action Looks Like\, OMG/HaHaHa\, Blue Citrus Hearts) focussing primarily on gritty southern stories about characters on the fringe. Producing and AD’ing for other directors such as Craig Brewer\, Kentucker Audley\, and Tim Sutton\, Fox has become known for getting strong\, authentic performances from mostly non-professional characters. His latest project is Feral\, an 8 episode drama about a close-knit group of 20-something artists living in Memphis. Feral is due in 2016. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM; Panel discussion begins at 7:00 PM \nComplimentary food and beverages will be available \nFree & open to the public thanks to support by ArtsFirst: First Tennessee Foundation and ArtsMemphis.

SUMMARY:Valerie Sparks: Distortion
DESCRIPTION:“I have been working on a series called ‘Distortions’. All the photographs I have taken I have  distorted through my camera and not by Photoshop. I have focused on images of light\, random objects \, outdoor scenery\, and the ones most important to me to show that seeing things in skewed almost chaotic way can remind you how even the most simple of things in life are truly amazing. Enjoy the simple chaos of life.”  – Valerie Sparks \nOrganized by the artist

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Chris Offutt
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and the Booksellers at Laurelwood present critically-acclaimed fiction\, nonfiction\, and screen writer Chris Offutt\, as he reads from and signs his new memoir\, My Father\, the Pornographer (Atria Books). \nMemphis writer and publisher Eric Barnes joins in the conversation. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nChris Offutt’s books include the story collections Kentucky Straight and Out of the Woods\, the novel The Good Brother\, and the memoirs The Same River Twice and No Heroes: A Memoir of Coming Home. His work has also appeared in The Best American Short Stories and The Best American Essays. In addition\, he has written extensively for television\, most notably for HBO’s True Blood and Treme and the Showtime series Weeds. His work has received awards from the Lannan Foundation\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters\,National Endowment for the Arts\, and Whiting Awards for both fiction and nonfiction. He lives near Oxford\, MS\, where he teaches in the MFA program at the University of Mississippi. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nWhen Andrew Offutt died\, his son\, Chris\, inherited a desk\, a rifle\, and eighteen hundred pounds of pornographic fiction. Andrew had been considered the “king of twentieth-century smut\,” with a writing career that began as a strategy to pay for his son’s orthodontic needs and soon took on a life of its own\, peaking during the 1970s when the commercial popularity of the erotic novel reached its height. \nOver the long summer of 2013\, Chris returned to his hometown to help his widowed mother move out of his childhood home. As he began to examine his father’s manuscripts and memorabilia\, journals\, and letters\, he realized he finally had an opportunity to gain insight into the difficult\, mercurial\, sometimes cruel man he’d loved and feared in equal measure. Only in his father’s absence could he truly make sense of the man and his legacy. \nWith his dutiful wife serving as typist\, Andrew wrote from their home in the Kentucky hills\, locked away in an office no one dared intrude upon. In this fashion he wrote more than four hundred novels\, including pirate porn\, ghost porn\, zombie porn\, and secret agent porn. The more he wrote\, the more intense his ambition became and the more difficult it was for his children to be part of his world. \nIn My Father\, the Pornographer\, Offutt takes us on the journey with him\, reading his father’s prodigious literary output as both a critic and as a son seeking answers. This is a book about the life of a working writer who supports his family solely by the output of his typewriter; it’s about the awful psychic burdens one generation unthinkingly passes along to the next; and it’s about growing up in the Appalachian hills with a pack of fearless boys riding bicycles through the woods\, happy and free. \nCRITICAL ACCLAIM:\n“My Father\, the Pornographer is contemporary memoir at its best. It achieves the rare miracle of re-creating the human heart on the page.” The Rumpus \n“One of the most sensitive\, nuanced examinations of father and son relationships I’ve read.” The Boston Globe \n“Chris Offutt owns one of the finest\, surest prose styles around\, ready and able to convey the hardest truth without flinching. Now Offutt enters the darkest and most mysterious of places—the cave of a monstrous enigma named Andrew J. Offutt—armed with nothing but his own restless curiosity. Spoiler alert: He makes it out alive\, walking into the daylight to bring us a deeper\, funnier\, more tender and more heartbroken truth—and his masterpiece.” Michael Chabon \n“Everything Chris Offutt writes is beautiful and brilliant\, but My Father\, the Pornographer is an astonishing house of mysteries\, and his most moving book yet. It’s about family and secrets and a literal ton of pornography\, but also\, fascinatingly\, what it means to make a writing life\, whether high art or pulp.” Elizabeth McCracken

SUMMARY:Screenprinting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:tuesdays from 3 to 4:45 pm\, begins Feb. 16—lasts 6 weeks \nfree program for high school students—max 15 participants \nled by Memphis College of Arts graduate students Lindsey Mashburn and Kayla Selby \nto sign up\, please contact Nat Akin at nat@crosstownarts.org or 901-573-8444 \nThis workshop will be a once-a-week introduction to screen printing\, open to all levels of students.

The class will show students how to create vibrant\, creative works of art\, and we will draw inspiration from our favorite books\, movies\, and plays.  Screen printing is an incredibly versatile artistic practice\, and over the course of this workshop students will gain the confidence and skills they need to create a wide range of new work.  If our schedule allows us the time\, we will also show the students how to create some fairly simple\, handmade paper books to show off their new prints. Materials will be provided\, come with a can-do attitude and be willing to get a little messy! This workshop will culminate in a public gallery show. \n

SUMMARY:Open Studio: Corkey Sinks
DESCRIPTION:Meet current studio resident Corkey Sinks and see her works in progress. \nSinks’ Samplers reference historical quilting patterns and needlework produced to demonstrate skill. These works often include decorative borders and lines of text. The language often incorporated an inspirational or religious sentiment\, one that illustrated the maker’s values and desires. Sinks culls language from contemporary self-help and diet advertisements on television\, in magazines\, and on social media. \nCorkey Sinks (b. Dallas\, TX) is an artist based in Memphis\, TN. She received a BA in Media Studies from the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies at the University of Redlands\, CA in 2005 and an MFA in Studio Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012. Through sculpture\, textiles\, printed matter\, and geometric pattern-making\, Sinks creates a path for the paranoid spirit. Referencing new religious movements and self-help techniques\, she imagines practical and psycho-spiritual coping strategies for the American condition. \nImage: Corkey Sinks\, Sampler: Goodbye Belly Fat\, 2016; Watercolor and graphite\, 10″x10″

SUMMARY:Open Crit
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts’ Open Crit series\, organized in partnership with ArtsMemphis\, is a monthly critique event where visual artists are invited to bring new and/or in-progress studio work for critical feedback and group discussion particular to each artist’s practice. \nA dedicated facilitator with experience in a group critique setting will guide discussion for each critique event\, which will include up to 4 artists’ work\, with 15-25 minutes devoted to the work of each. \nAll visual artists and anyone interested in joining the discussion are welcome to participate regardless of their level of expertise\, prior professional art experience or background/education in fine art. Participation is free and open to the public. Input during the critiques from everyone in attendance is welcomed and encouraged. \nNo formal preparation is necessary for participating artists\, who will have an opportunity to introduce and contextualize their work on view at the beginning of each critique. 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  \nArtists are asked to bring no more than 8 individual pieces (in any medium). Maximum run time for time-based work(s) is 10 minutes. \nParticipating artists are encouraged to invite friends\, peers and colleagues to the open crits\, both to see their work in progress and to give constructive feedback. \nOrganized by Crosstown Arts in partnership with ArtsMemphis ArtsAccelerator.

SUMMARY:Working Writer's Cocktail Hour
DESCRIPTION:In the interests of further cultivating and connecting the literary community of Memphis\, story booth is hosting the third edition of Crosstown Arts‘ Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour. \nCollege and MFA students to early/mid-career/accomplished (meaning published and not-yet-published) writers who live and work in Memphis are welcome. Whether writers of poetry\, fiction\, creative nonfiction\, screenwriting\, playwriting\, journalism\, art writing\, music writing—all are invited to visit story booth 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 the day-job is writing-related or not–if you’re a working writer\, this means you. \nFor more info contact Nat Akin at nat@crosstownarts.org

SUMMARY:Visual Reverberations
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, February 19\, 6-9 pm \nGallery Hours: Saturday – Sunday\, February 20-21\, 11 am – 5 pm \nVisual Reverberations is a group show featuring abstract works of art that echo the \nintuitive thoughts and experiences of the artist. Just as the duration of sound is \nabsorbed by space\, these works of art visually embody the notion of a continuing \neffect translated compositionally. This exhibition explores the relationship between \nthinking and feeling as it drives the creative process\, revealing to the viewer the \nexpressive interaction between the artist and the work. Each work carries a rhythm \nof its own that resonates through the space inviting the viewer to look and listen. \nCurated by Victoria Barrera\, and featuring work by Dana Finimore\, Mary Michael \nRyan\, Amy Hofstetter\, Danielle Meseika\, and Katherine Dean.
