SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Examining Video Art
DESCRIPTION:A Method to the Madness: Examining Video Art\nTraditionally Shoot & Splice has explored technique rooted in narrative\, documentary\, and commercial film and video production\, but this month we will examine the craft of capturing moving images solely to facilitate creative expression. \nJoin accomplished video artists Brian Pera\, Corkey Sinks & Jill Wissmiller for a discussion on the concepts\, production\, and showing of video art. \nBrian Pera‘s films include The Way I See Things\, Woman’s Picture\, and Only Child. The latter two are part of an ongoing series obsessively preoccupied with women he remembers from his childhood. With perfumer Andy Tauer he created a perfume line\, Tableau de Parfums\, the scents of which relate thematically and otherwise to the universe of the films. He’s the author of the novel Troublemaker and co-editor of Life As We Show It: Writings on Film. Currently he’s working on an installation piece called Sorry Not Sorry with Joel Parsons and Terri Phillips. \nCorkey Sinks (b. Dallas\, TX) is an artist based in Memphis\, TN.  Sinks works in a variety of media including sculpture\, textiles\, printed matter\, and video. 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. Sinks is the current artist in residence at Crosstown Arts. She has exhibited work throughout the United States and Mexico. In 2015\, her book\, Demon Baby Project: Events\, Coincidences\, and Repercussions was published by No Coast. Upcoming exhibitions include Artificial Tide\, a solo exhibition at The Packing Plant in Nashville\, TN and We gave Our Best\, Now the Rest is Up to the Hope Chest\, a group show at Im Ersten in Vienna\, Austria. \nJill Wissmiller is a Midwestern farmer’s daughter transplanted to the Midsouth\, where she is Chair of Design and Associate Professor of Digital Media at the Memphis College of Art. Wissmiller’s research and creative work is concerned with nontraditional cinema spectatorship and production. She has recently completed a motion picture manifesto that calls for a strict ban of standard definition video being projected upon anything other than glitter.  Her video work has been screened at a variety of venues both nationally and internationally\, including the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, Palm Springs International Short Film Festival\, Moscow International Film Festival\, and Electrofringe New Media Arts Festival Australia. \n\nPresented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts  \nDOORS OPEN AT 6:30 PM | PANEL DISCUSSION BEGINS AT 7:00 PM | FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

SUMMARY:NJ Woods: House Keys
DESCRIPTION:“House Keys\,” New works by N.J. Woods celebrating one of the most fundamental needs for all people: shelter. This exhibition will feature collages of ordinary wood keys\, a tool made to tighten stretched canvas\, repurposed varying bands of warm colors. N.J.’s genre paintings on canvas will also be on display\, Saturday\, May 7th\, at Crosstown Arts\, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. \nN.J. Woods \nInspired by her Memphis upbringing and Mississippi relatives\, NJ Woods paints scenes of rustic life from memory and imagination. NJ’s distinctive creativity blossomed by watching her father Yancy paint in the middle room of their shotgun home. Where\, as the third born of nine children\, NJ used tempera paint to scribble pictures on the windows. She’s since traded in the tempera for acrylic and window panes\, for canvas.\nNJ grew up in the shotgun littered community of Orange Mound\, the first African-American neighborhood built by African-Americans in the United States. Most of her work revolves around the shotgun house and its imprint on the African-American and Southern experience.\nHer primitive style of painting\, heavily influenced by visits to her Grandma Sarah’s house in Coldwater\, MS and other country relatives\, often reflects the dichotomy of city life juxtaposed with rural traditions and stories. These stories transferred onto the canvas\, typify slices of life during the sharecropping and civil rights eras marked by her adroit use of emotive colors\, folksy compositions and poetic titles. NJ’s subject matter and style is often compared to renowned artists Carroll Cloar and Clementine Hunter.\nAlthough NJ’s been painting professionally for more than 12 years\, just before her work really began to sell she was a home health attendant for several years. Today\, NJ’s work has been shown in several galleries around the country — Tennessee\, Mississippi\, Texas and New York\, to name a few. Her work has been exhibited at Dixon Gallery and Gardens Museum and the Brooks Museum\, both in Memphis\, Tennessee. In August 2008\, NJ was invited to be a guest lecturer for the Lunch and Learn series at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens\, during the Ancestry and Innovation: African American Art from the American Folk Art Museum exhibition. She opened her first temporary pop-up gallery in 2013 through the MEMShop incubation program\, where she introduced and exhibited her own work and art from established and emerging artists to the community in the Broad Avenue Arts district. You can see her latest public art project in her neighborhood\, titled “Headshots”\, an abstract\, geo-centric mural at Jackson and Evergreen in the Vollintine and Evergreen community. NJ plans to do more public art work projects in the future to expand her practice.
