SUMMARY:Tommy Kha: A Real Imitation Booksigning
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading\, signing\, and sale of “A Real Imitation” (Ain’t Bad) with New York/Memphis-based artist Tommy Kha. \n\n\n\nGrowing up in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Tommy Kha felt a pervasive alienation from his surroundings and was often mistaken for a tourist or ‘foreigner.’ Gesturing to his eyes\, strangers would inquire about his ethnicity. As he approached adolescence\, these inquiries evolved into questions concerning his sexuality\, adding a new layer to his perceived outsider status. These experiences followed him even to graduate school at Yale University\, where declining to give a stranger a cigarette outside a bar was met with the impertinent invitation for Kha\, a native Memphian of Chinese descent\, to “go back to Japan.” Though these hurtful experiences had become commonplace\, Kha remained unscathed; he’d been hearing these types of things his whole life. Discussing his recent series A Real Imitation and how he remains unable to broach the subject of his sexuality with his mother\, grandmother\, and most of his family\, Kha says\, “I think subconsciously\, I made these pictures as a response to feeling forced to hide. So I’m trading guises and trying to reflect that. I think this is how the project will end—when they find out.” \nThrough A Real Imitation\, Kha uses a discordant mix of performance\, self- portraiture\, and iconic pictures of the Memphis landscape to understand and underscore his uncanny and complex experience of feeling like an outsider at home and in his own skin. Obsessed with photography’s ability to reveal and conceal\, Kha’s work pushes its function (as Diane Arbus once described it) as a purveyor of secrets. Straying from loud or heavy-handed depictions of cultural identity\, he illustrates his alienation with a constellation of visual poems that quietly capture a disruption between his projected likenesses and how he sees himself. \n-Jon Feinstein

SUMMARY:Andrea Morales: Again As Usual
DESCRIPTION:One-night only exhibition of new work by Crosstown Arts’ summer studio resident artist\, Andrea Morales\, created during her residency session. \n“Change in a community is subtle on a day to day basis\, but is something we experience simultaneously. For better or worse\, that means what is now won’t be so in a few. These images look at Vollentine Evergreen\, Crosstown\, and North Memphis neighborhoods as communities in transition. By cataloguing moments\, both mundane and celebratory\, photographs can inform a portrait in our memories.”\n-Andrea Morales \nAndrea Morales was born in Peru\, raised in Miami\, and currently resides in the Crosstown neighborhood of Memphis. She is an artist\, photojournalist\, freelance photographer\, and teacher.  She works regularly for the New York Times and other well-known publications.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Jacqueline Woodson
DESCRIPTION:THE FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT OF THE 2016 MID-SOUTH BOOK FESTIVAL! \n\nJoin us for an evening with the author of the best-selling memoir “Brown Girl Dreaming\,” Jacqueline Woodson\, as she shares with us her lyrical new novel\, “Another Brooklyn.” \nAbout the book:\nRunning into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August\, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything until it wasn’t. For August and her girls\, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets\, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful\, talented\, brilliant a part of a future that belonged to them. But beneath the hopeful veneer\, there was another Brooklyn\, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways\, where ghosts haunted the night\, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion. Like Louise Meriwether’s Daddy Was a Number Runner and Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina\, Jacqueline Woodson’s Another Brooklyn heartbreakingly illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood\, the promise and peril of growing up\, and exquisitely renders a powerful\, indelible\, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives. \nAbout the author:\nJacqueline Woodson is the bestselling author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults\, middle graders\, and children\, including the New York Times bestselling memoir Brown Girl Dreaming\, which won the 2014 National Book Award\, the Coretta Scott King Award\, a Newbery Honor Award\, an NAACP Image Award\, and the Sibert Honor Award. Woodson was recently named the Young People’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation. She lives with her family in Brooklyn\, New York.

SUMMARY:Brantley Ellzey: SWEET
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 7\, 6-9 PM \n\nCrosstown Arts is pleased to present SWEET\, an exhibition of 20 new works by Memphis-based artist and architect\, Brantley Ellzey. \nFor the past 15 years\, Ellzey’s practice has typically involved media-based content in service to a particular subject. His works consist primarily of paper from magazines\, books\, and other printed media which he deconstructs\, rolls and methodically builds into complex\, layered forms.  Hand-rolled\, individual pages contain information that create an archive\, a time capsule of a specific theme and period. He has spent the last few years working on commissions that involved this concept\, giving him less control over palette or pattern. \nWith approximately 20 new pieces on view in SWEET\, Ellzey continues his exploration of the rolled paper module\, the process in creating the module\, and the resulting compositions and textures when the module is replicated and combined. In the process of these works\, Ellzey’s architectural training is evident. He was always drawn to model-making and the notion of creating things by hand. Modules provide scale and the hand is visible in the final product\, as each roll of paper is meticulously reworked by the artist. “This process of rolling is a meditative process. I find great inspiration in mundane\, methodical tasks. My mind is free to concentrate on exactly how and why I’m driven to create a particular piece.” The rolled pages that make up his work are filled with energy\, like springs waiting to snap back. \n“You say to a brick\, “What do you want\, brick?” And brick says to you\, “I like an arch.” -Louis Kahn \nThroughout SWEET\, Ellzey returns to the origins of his process by focusing on elements of color\, form\, and composition. In paring down the recent works to their basics\, Ellzey also simplified his inspirations and returned to his past. He began to revisit children’s books that formed his earliest visual memories and researched artists and designers that were working in the early sixties. Through this process he discovered the work of Mary Blair.  An unsung hero of the Disney animation studios and creative force in advertising and design\, Blair was responsible for the “It’s A Small World” attraction for the New York World’s Fair and then Disneyland. The juxtapositions of color with folk art patterning and imagery in her work hugely influenced his perception of the world as a child. Blair’s work as well as the styles of Alexander Girard and Charles and Ray Eames have guided the color and energy of Ellzey’s new body of work. \nDuring this tumultuous political season\, the process of creating these pieces\, as well as the imagery and materials involved\, has been a bulwark against a daily barrage of cynicism and acrimony. SWEET is unabashedly happy and optimistic\, and Ellzey hopes his audience will be similarly inspired. \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n\nArtist Biography \nBrantley Ellzey is an architect and artist who has operated an independent studio in the Crosstown neighborhood of Memphis since 2010.  With degrees in Architecture and Theater Design from Tulane University\, Ellzey creates art that illustrates the precision and structural form of architecture while embodying the colorful thrill and drama of the theater.  His works consist primarily of paper from magazines\, books and other printed media which he deconstructs\, rolls and methodically builds into complex\, layered forms.  Drawing from the themes of the selected materials\, he expresses the anatomy of a journal\, making the subject and content visually apparent in the piece with lines\, color and overall construction.  His work is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States\, such as Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital\, West Cancer Center\, Bass Berry + Sims\, Wunderlich Securities\, and Iberia Bank. Examples of his architectural work are First Congregational Church\, The Museum of Modern Spinal Surgery at Medtronic\,The Kemmons Wilson Exhibit at the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management at University of Memphis\, the renovation of Immaculate Conception Cathedral\, and Ballet Memphis (Cordova).

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Robert Olen Butler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Robert Olen Butler\, author of the novel Perfume River\, which examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family. \n\nAbout the Book \nFrom one of America’s most important writers\, Perfume River is an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family. Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian\, teaching at Florida State University\, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage\, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-War protests\, now bears the fractures of time\, both personal and historical\, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee and solitary jogging and separate offices. For Robert and Darla\, the cracks remain under the surface\, whereas the divisions in Robert’s own family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy\, who became estranged from the family as the Vietnam War intensified. Robert and Jimmy’s father\, a veteran of WWII\, is coming to the end of his life\, and aftershocks of war ripple across their lives once again\, when Jimmy refuses to appear at his father’s bedside. And an unstable homeless man whom Robert at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran turns out to have a deep impact not just on Robert\, but on his entire family. \nAbout the Author \nRobert Olen Butler is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of sixteen novels\, including Hell\, A Small Hotel\, and the Christopher Marlowe Cobb series. He is also the author of six short story collections and a book on the creative process\, From Where You Dream. He has twice won a National Magazine Award in Fiction and received the 2013 F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Literature. He teaches creative writing at Florida State University.

DESCRIPTION:Performance by Speaking Suns\, The Cricket Orchestra\, and Matthew Trisler. \n\nSpeaking Suns is a quartet based in a small\, liberal college town called Yellow Springs.

DESCRIPTION:Come witness Spillit’s collaboration with Crosstown Arts: Pecha Kucha Night – Dear Diary. \nPresenters will bust out their old diaries from childhood and adolescence and share golden entries. Awkward\, sweet\, idiotic\, embarrassingly hopeful… you get the idea. \nEach presenter has picked 20 images that will be slides to go along with their diary reading. They’ll have twenty seconds per slide\, making their presentations six minutes and forty seconds of glory. \nPresenters:\nJulia Hamilton\nKatelyn Jackson\nJoy Arwood\nMary Button\nAmanda Dent \nLink to example presentation:\nhttps://vimeo.com/album/3464881/video/68457336

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Brantley Ellzey
DESCRIPTION:Artist and architect Brantley Ellzey discusses his work on display in “Sweet\,” an exhibition of over 20 new works created from hand-rolled construction paper in a kaleidoscopic array of colors and forms. \n“Sweet” is on display from October 7th through November 5th. \n\nArtist Biography\nBrantley Ellzey is an architect and artist who has operated an independent studio in the Crosstown neighborhood of Memphis since 2010.  With degrees in Architecture and Theater Design from Tulane University\, Ellzey creates art that illustrates the precision and structural form of architecture while embodying the colorful thrill and drama of the theater.  His works consist primarily of paper from magazines\, books and other printed media which he deconstructs\, rolls and methodically builds into complex\, layered forms.  Drawing from the themes of the selected materials\, he expresses the anatomy of a journal\, making the subject and content visually apparent in the piece with lines\, color and overall construction.  His work is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States\, such as Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital\, West Cancer Center\, Bass Berry + Sims\, Wunderlich Securities\, and Iberia Bank. Examples of his architectural work are First Congregational Church\, The Museum of Modern Spinal Surgery at Medtronic\,The Kemmons Wilson Exhibit at the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management at University of Memphis\, the renovation of Immaculate Conception Cathedral\, and Ballet Memphis (Cordova).
