SUMMARY:Bawlmer
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Bawlmer\, a group exhibition of new work by Baltimore-based artists organized Dwayne Butcher. Butcher is an artist\, designer\, and curator who moved from Memphis to Baltimore in 2013. Artists he has chosen for this exhibition include Colin Alexander\, Kyle Bauer\, Amy Hughes Braden\, Dave Eassa\, Cara Ober and Paul Shortt. Through painting\, sculpture\, and a prevailing sense of humor\, the exhibition aims to make connections between Memphis and Baltimore and their respective creative landscapes. \nCurator’s Statement: \n‘In my short time in Baltimore\, I have noticed many similarities between this city and Memphis. Each is roughly the same size in area and population\, and each is similar in its racial\, political\, and socioeconomic makeup. They both have the “grit and grind” that blue-collar\, middle-class urban areas have to have. This “grit and grind” is the prefect incubator for creativity\, which makes “Bawlmer\,” as enunciated in the local dialect\, seem like home to me. \nThe six artists included in this exhibition approach their work with a sense of humor. They poke fun at normal conventions of class and gender\, recall the fads of their youth\, enjoy the frivolity of today\, break down shapes into the purest of forms\, and call into question the superiority of the art world’s “big swinging dicks.” \nOh\, the Baltimorons love their crabs as much as Memphians love their BBQ. So there is that. And then there is the Old Bay.’ \n-Dwayne Butcher \nArtist information: \nColin Alexander  \nKyle Bauer \nAmy Hughes Braden \nDave Eassa \nCara Ober \nPaul Shortt \nCurator’s biography: \nOriginally from Memphis\, TN\, Dwayne Butcher is an artist\, designer\, and curator living in Baltimore. He received his MFA from the Memphis College of Art in 2008. While at MCA\, he developed a deep interest in the integration of Digital Media expression with traditional art forms. His work wittily comments on his life as a citizen of the American South\, often around issues of gender identity. His work has increasingly been shown in international exhibitions in the last two years in locations such as Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, Chongqing\, China\, Paris France\, Berlin\, Germany\, Amsterdam\, The Netherlands\, New York City and Los Angeles. He has been featured in articles focusing on his work and community art projects for the New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Hyperallergic\, Art21\, and Big\, Red and Shiny.  When Dwayne is not working on all of the above things\, he maintains an art blog focusing on the visual arts of Baltimore and the surrounding area. He enjoys watching short animations and experimental films. He is one of the world’s greatest Risk players and has won awards for his chicken wings.  Dwayne also spends a lot of time with his wife taking pictures of their two worthless cats. Oh. He also likes beer. \n-From http://dwaynebutcher.squarespace.com/info/ \nCover image: Kyle Bauer\, detail

SUMMARY:Anyway\, Anyhow
DESCRIPTION:A raw wild visual gumbo to accompany the sick sonic stew of Gonerfest\, organized by Goner Records\n\n\nFeaturing the artwork of Tim Kerr (Austin\, TX)\, Bruce Webb (Waxahatchie\, TX)\, John Henry Toney (Seale\, AL)\, Butch Anthony (Seale\, AL)\, Timmy Lampinen (Detroit\, MI)\n\nTIM KERR\nTim moved to Austin in 1974 to attend The University of Texas at Austin and there he earned a degree in painting and photography. While in the art department\, he studied under famed photographer Garry Winogrand and was awarded a Ford Foundation grant for his work. \nTim is also well-known for his slashing guitar work in seminal punk bands The Big Boys\, Poison 13\, Monkeywrench\, Lord High Fixers and more. \nHis artwork combines social awareness with iconic figures\nand searing images overlaid by inspirational quotes. He has been involved in many different scales\, from murals to artwork on skateboards. \nHe recently exhibited in \nhttp://www.timkerr.net/\nhttp://juicemagazine.com/home/tim-kerr-art-show/\nhttp://www.yalostudio.com/2014_04_01_archive.html \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nBUTCH ANTHONY\nMr. Anthony has made up his own word\, “intertwangleism\,” a label he paints on a lot of his pieces\, which he defined this way: “Inter\, meaning to mix\,” he said. “And twang\, a distinct way of speaking. If I make up my own ‘ism\,’ no one can say anything or tell me I’m doing it wrong.” \nButch’s art world contains sly reworkings of existing paintings\, sculptures made of discarded metal and wood\, and semi-apocryphal taxidermy all creating a unique voice that has charmed the art world from his native Alabama through New York City\, London\, and beyond. \nButch did a show in the Goner Store in 2004 which was a huge thrill for us. In the ten years since that show\, Butch has become strangely sorta famous\, but hasn’t changed a bit. A recent show at Yolo Gallery in Water Valley\, MS was a sensation. We are thrilled to have him back. \nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/garden/08doonanny.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\nhttp://www.blackratprojects.com/artists/butchanthony\nhttp://www.yalostudio.com/2013/03/anatomy-can-be-fun-new-work-by-butch.html\nhttp://www.museumofwonder.com/ \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nJOHN HENRY TONEY\nMr. John Henry Toney grew up in Sandfort\, Alabama and farmed all his life. He used to drive a tractor around Seale and plow up folk’s garden patches for them. One day he plowed up a turnip with a human face on it… His art career was born. He’s 83 years old and draws everyday. \nhttp://www.museumofwonder.com/#slide3\nhttp://www.garde-rail.com/artists/toney/index.html\nhttp://rawvision.com/articles/love-and-water-art-john-henry-toney \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nBRUCE LEE WEBB\nBruce Lee is the co-conspirator and co- creator of Webb Gallery in downtown Waxahachie\, Texas. He loves hobo lore and train car graffiti. He is a researcher and collector by nature and is currently working on “As Above So Below -Art of the Fraternal Lodge” with co-author Lynne Adele\, which will be published by UT Press in 2015. \nBruce recently curated and participated in the “Akin” exhibit of outsider and self-taught artists at Crosstown Arts. \nhttp://www.webbartgallery.com/\nhttp://blogs.dallasobserver.com/mixmaster/2012/03/spinning_a_webb_local_artist_a.php\nhttp://www.croftartgallery.com/previousshows/brucewebb.html \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nTIMMY LAMPINEN\nTimmy\, well-known in Goner circles as the the Human Eye / Timmy’s Organism / Clone Defects singer and guitar mangler\, is also a 2010 Kresge Grant Arts award winner. As Timmy’s music strives for wild departures and maximum impact via spaced-out sounds\, his artwork spreads the color of consciousness and fredom with righteous abandon. His album covers are some of the trippiest of anyone working in the medium today. \nhttp://www.kresgeartsindetroit.org/fellowships/past-fellows/2010-fellows/timmy-lampinen/\nhttp://larecord.com/interviews/2008/12/01/human-eye-yeah-i-drank-the-glitter-slime \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nFor more information see:\nhttp://www.goner-records.com/gonerfest/gonerfest11-artshow.php\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1443801609200425/
