SUMMARY:Healing Space
DESCRIPTION:An environment of selected works by the artists and patients of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Tower 2 Project\, organized and curated by Youngblood Studio.\n\nFeaturing work by Jeanne Seagle\, Lurlynn Franklin\, Janet Beaver\, Kong Wee Pang\, Jay Crum\, Alex Warble and Danny Broadway \n\n                 \n\n\n    \nFilling a hospital with art has been shown to support the well-being of patients\, families and staff. The use of color and imagery can create a healing environment that lowers stress and anxiety and can also be used to encourage rehabilitation. Each art program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is aimed at promoting healing\, transforming the hospital experience and bringing joy. The hospital’s commitment to filling the environment with local art is seen throughout campus in murals\, paintings and prints\, sculpture\, mosaics\, flooring and colorful designs. \nSix years ago\, a new tower was built and named the Chili’s Care Center. Instead of filling the corridors with murals\, hospital planners opted to populate each floor with framed artwork consisting of pieces from local artists and patients\, as well as photographs that would be displayed in custom-made\, colorful frames unique to the tower’s interior. While the tower was under construction\, several local artists moved into it\, set up studios and created a large body of work for the project. \nTogether\, with art produced by patients and images created by St. Jude photographers\, hundreds of pieces were permanently displayed in the corridors of every floor within the tower. Today\, patients\, families and staff walking the halls experience art created for them and by them; these individuals also view photos of themselves and of those who support them. \nBecause of the success of the Chili’s Care Center art program\, hospital planners decided that the next tower\, currently under construction and known as “Tower 2\,” would house a similar art program. Seven artists were invited to participate in the Tower 2 Project. Jeanne Seagle\, Lurlynn Franklin and Janet Beaver were three artists from the original group who were asked to participate in this new project. \nThe remaining four were Kong wee Pang\, Jay Crum\, Alex Warble and Danny Broadway. Seagle\, Beaver\, Broadway and Warble set up studios on campus\, while the remaining three worked from their personal studios. All of the artists participated in tours and were given open access to explore and experience the campus and the people. They were also provided color samples of the new tower’s interior and encouraged to not only pull from their experience at St. Jude\, but to also create work that might draw the viewer in to find something new. \nEach artist participated in at least one “painting party” with patients and families. These parties were designed not only to fill the new tower with patient work\, but also to provide artists\, patients and families with a fun and therapeutic experience. The artists together produced more than 100 pieces during their four-week residency\, while patients and families produced more than 100 paintings during their seven painting parties. \nHEALING SPACE is a sample of the work produced during the Tower 2 Project. This show displays the pieces for public view before permanent installation while illustrating the importance of color and connection in a therapeutic environment. \n-Youngblood Studio\, LLC

SUMMARY:Cedar Lorca Nordbye: To Frame\, To Construct\, To Occupy
DESCRIPTION: Utilizing the approximate quantity of wood used to frame a small house\, the installation explores questions of diaspora\, exile and relocation\, with occupancy as a form of resistance\, and construction as a metaphor for idea formation.The colorful and fragmented imagery of houses\, figures and abstract designs cast on a variety of standard\, wooden framing surfaces is the first phase of a two-part project. At the close of the exhibition\, the graphically altered lumber will be donated to Memphis Habitat for Humanity and available for use in a newly constructed home\, briefly visible as a collaborative artwork between the artist and the volunteer builders before being enclosed within the walls of a future dwelling. \nOn view in the Crosstown Arts gallery\, across the street from the Sears Crosstown building\, which is soon to be the largest building remodel in the history of Memphis\, the installation utilizes wood collected from multiple sources (including the interior of Sears Crosstown) to examine our sense of the structures we inhabit in a post 9/11\, post-Katrina America. \n“Our ideas\, the thoughts that give shape to our days\, our emotions and our interactions\, are like the beautiful golden streaked Douglass fir two-by-fours that frame our homes. Humble\, cut to length and hidden away.” \nCedar Lorca Nordbye is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Memphis where he has taught since 2003.  His work has been exhibited in California\, Atlanta\, Chicago\, Quebec\, Skopje\, Alabama\, Kentucky and North Carolina in a variety of gallery\, museum and alternative spaces.  Norbye has carried out social-practice/performance artworks in Las Vegas\, Paris\, Greensboro\, Seattle\, Nashville and New York City\, where he has been banned from the Empire State Building since 2003. \nWhen asked where he is from\, Nordbye replies\, “Michigan for four years\, Minnesota for one year\, Iowa for four years\, Massachusetts for five years\, California for ten years\, and before that in a childhood blur of hippie-Jewish-exiled wandering which spanned Connecticut\, Guatemala\, New Mexico and West Virginia\, with my mother and my father…who actually is a Jewish carpenter.” \nHis work can be viewed online at cedarnordbye.com. \nThe exhibition was organized by the artist and Crosstown Arts.
