SUMMARY:“Those Who Hold Dominion Here”
DESCRIPTION:On view November 18\, 2022\, to March 26\, 2023\nCrosstown Arts Galleries\nFree and open to the public \nGallery Hours\nTuesday–Friday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.\nSaturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\nSunday: noon– 6 p.m. \n“Those Who Hold Dominion Here” by Sarah Elizabeth Cornejo takes inspiration from serpents in Incan Mythology\, and Southern snakes to create a liminal space at the center of the earth presided over by deities capable of transgressing the boundary between this subterranean spiritual realm and our current lived reality. After the violence of our present\, portals on the walls reminiscent of black holes observe and allow entry and exit to the space. Observing through these windows our human actions on earth\, these yonic\, serpentine deities rise encrusted from the deepest earth\, unknowable\, and as guides responsible for the passage of knowledge. Bringing humanity to a negotiation of human time on earth\, they facilitate the decision to exit the space through another portal\, on to an unknown world to come\, or the possibility of complete non-existence. \nSarah Elizabeth Cornejo is an interdisciplinary artist based in Memphis\, Tennessee. She is a co-founder of BASEMENT\, a provisional artist-run space in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina\, where she was also a co-curator from 2019-2022. Her work has been shown throughout the eastern United States and internationally including the Mint Museum\, Ackland Art Museum\, Duke University\, and Field Projects among others. She received her MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and her BA in Studio Art and English Literature from Davidson College. She was a 10-month artist-in-residence at Crosstown Arts (2021) and is an upcoming artist-in-residence at the McColl Center (2023). She was a 2021 New Public Sculpture Fellow with the UrbanArts Commission in Memphis\, and a 2021 recipient of TriStar Arts’ inaugural Current Art Fund project grant. She was awarded the 2022 Tennessee State Fellowship through the Southern Prize and State Fellowship Program\, and was the finalist for the Southern Prize. \n

SUMMARY:“Mending in a State of Abundance”
DESCRIPTION:On view November 18\, 2022 to March 26\, 2023\nCrosstown Arts Galleries\nFree and open to the public \nGallery Hours\nTuesday–Friday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.\nSaturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\nSunday: noon– 6 p.m. \n“Mending in a State of Abundance” explores the emotional and physical labor of repair\, offering an alternative response to the modern realities of material excess. Through slowly mending both found and personal objects by hand\, textile artist Katrina Perdue investigates connections and relationships between sentimental and material worth\, surplus and enough\, holding on and letting go.  \nThroughout the exhibition\, damaged objects repaired with colorful threads emphasize and celebrate worn areas — not only to preserve and restore\, but also to offer a renewed sense of value\, appreciation\, and usefulness. Using darning techniques in traditional and nontraditional ways\, stitching serves as a visual representation of mending as an act of care. To fix something — to make it whole again — is an act of healing.  \nExtending the life of any object is also a significant gesture towards a more sustainable existence. Displayed alongside the carefully mended pieces are all too familiar scenes of excess — piles of handmade quilts in need of repair\, mass quantities of unwanted clothing bundled in bales like harvest crops. This visual interplay of abundance and scarcity calls into focus the paradox of fixing things in a culture of mass consumerism and disposability.  \nFrom emotional repairs like the artist’s own jeans heavily patched with layers of her late father’s clothing\, to a cracked plastic garden tote pulled from the garbage and stitched back together\, “Mending in a State of Abundance” is about seeing the potential in worn-out everyday objects. Through repair\, we can rethink consumption and imbue our own value on possessions and resources. As we navigate the vicissitudes of life\, piecing together broken materials can also make a way forward feel tangible — one thread\, one stitch\, one step at a time. \nKatrina Perdue is a textile artist and educator living and working in Memphis\, Tennessee. Her love for hand stitching has grown over the past twenty years from first learning machine sewing\, quickly followed by hand knitting\, and most recently to a full time studio practice focusing on the art and impact of mending and repair. She was selected to be a textile studio assistant at Penland School of Craft for a summer 2019 mending workshop\, a 2020 Arts Memphis ArtsAccelerator Grantee\, and an adjunct instructor of Textiles at the University of Memphis.  \nKatrina was born and raised in the Midwest\, spent several years living in the Mid-Atlantic\, and now calls Memphis — the heart of the Mid-South — home. \nInstagram: @katrinaperdue \nWebsite: www.katrinaperdue.com

SUMMARY:“Summer in Shanghai”
DESCRIPTION:On view November 18\, 2022\, to March 26\, 2023\nCrosstown Arts Screening Room\nFree and open to the public \nGallery Hours\nTuesday–Friday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.\nSaturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\nSunday: noon– 6 p.m. \nIn June 2020\, the tropical rainy season cast a shadow over the city of Shanghai. Unfazed by the extreme weather\, e-bikers continued riding through the pouring rain. Day after day\, their ponchos provided protection from the elements while the fabric billowed in the wind. Life must go on. This visual of commuters-cum-knights was the starting point for what became Summer in Shanghai\, a three-part video series of meditations on a unique summer in China’s largest metropolis.  \nWhile many cities around the world struggled to find a sense of normalcy during the summer of 2020\, Shanghai was functioning. With low case numbers\, masks came off\, health codes ceased to be scanned and the city vibrated as it once had. When the rain let up it was a good time to get out and connect with others\, because no one was sure what the fall would bring. \nIntent on minimizing the distance between herself and her surroundings\, Brown shot familiar spaces near her home. Her camera captured everyday moments while helping to initiate conversations. Utilizing the format of an essay film\, a voice over written and performed by Brown carries through each video\, sharing personal stories\, histories and reflections about the season and this particular period of time. \nPortraits of a rainy street in the Former French Concession\, ships on the Huangpu River and people in Fuxing Park\, culminate in Summer in Shanghai\, a series about finding connections during uncertain times. \nJanaye Brown (b. 1987 San Jose\, California; based in Berlin\, Germany) makes work that explores perception of time\, fragmented narratives and the unseen. She has exhibited at venues and film festivals\, including New York City’s Studio Museum Harlem\, Wassaic Project\, Wassaic\, NY\, Anthology Film Archives\, New York\, NY\, the Dallas Video Fest\, The Banff Centre in Alberta\, Canada and Shulamit Nazarian in Los Angeles. Her residencies include the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, Madison\, ME; Fiskars AiR\, Fiskars\, Finland; the Bruce High Quality Foundation University\, New York\, NY\, and Crosstown Arts\, Memphis\, TN among others. Brown received an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and her BA in Cinematic Arts and Technology from California State University Monterey Bay in 2010. Brown resided in China from 2018 to 2021.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT at Crosstown Theater. \nBertrand Tavernier / 1986 / 133 minutes / Rated R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \n’ROUND MIDNIGHT is a love letter from director Bertrand Tavernier to the heyday of bebop and the Black American musicians who found refuge in the smoky underground jazz clubs of 1950s Paris. In a sui generis\, Oscar-nominated fusion of performer and character\, legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon plays Dale Turner\, a brilliant New York jazz veteran whose music aches with beauty but whose personal life is ravaged by addiction. Searching for a fresh start in Paris\, Turner strikes up an unlikely friendship with a struggling single father and ardent jazz fan (François Cluzet) who finds his life transformed as he attempts to help the self-destructive musician. Herbie Hancock’s evocative\, Oscar-winning score sets the mood for this definitive jazz film\, a bittersweet opus that glows with lived-in\, soulful authenticity.  \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Star & Micey with Jeff Hulett (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, December 1\, 2022\nDoors at 7 p.m. | Show at 7:30 p.m.\nTickets: $20 | $15 in advance \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nStar & Micey \nOne of Memphis’ most inventive and enduring bands. Formed in 2009\, Star and Micey has toured the US and Canada to play for a select crowd of die hard fans. Called “Tennessee’s Number One Band” by Paste Magazine in 2016 the group has continued to stay humble and live life on their terms. Having never broken up even once\, their relationship onstage is just as genuine offstage. \nLinktree : https://linktr.ee/starandmicey \nJeff Hulett \nFrom the outside\, Jeff Hulett might seem like a late-blooming guitarist and songwriter. But if you ask any of his fellow musicians they’ll tell you he was writing songs and playing music long before he put pen to paper or strummed a chord. \nIn fact\, his first love was not guitar\, but drums. He bought his first kit\, a used Maxx kit at a consignment store in ’96 after watching Fascist Frank & the German Brigade perform at the historic Antenna Club. A memorable Christmas indeed. \nHis sick beats landed him in the band Snowglobe. Over his many years with this Memphis-based institution\, Hulett regularly contributed melodies\, lyrics\, and arrangements to many of the tunes in their prolific cannon. You can even hear a few of his originals in their discography. \nDuring his long tenure with Snowglobe\, Hulett continued to hone his own voice and develop his own creative projects. He began playing guitar more\, and writing his own lyrics. This dedication and passion led to his collaboration with Leah Keys in the band Me & Leah. They released an eponymous and beautiful CD in 2016 featuring nine original folk tunes. Then in 2019\, Me & Leah added Jonathan Schallert to the mix to record and partially release a digital copy of their forthcoming 7 inch Most of Your Life. Both albums were engineered by accomplished mainstays Toby Vest and Pete Mathews of High/Low and Andrew McCalla\, respectively. \nBut it was when the pandemic struck that Hulett really hit his stride as a songwriter. All alone and with nowhere to go\, using an old version of Garageband\, he started creating original tracks and collaborating with more and more musicians\, writers\, and other creators. He was one of the first artists in Memphis—or even the world—to give a voice to our collective feelings when he released his album Safe @ Home with Jacob Church early in the pandemic. That record—a seven-song exploration of the new normal we were all just beginning to live—resonated around the globe. It even landed a spot on The English Show\, a weekly podcast out of Basel\, Switzerland. \nThen\, after going on to release two solo albums on Small Batch Records\, Hulett reconnected with old friends Melissa Goodwin and Adam Poor. They formed the band Restless Townies. Their first album\, Miles Away\, released in April 2021\, and the trio has a new full length album on the way. In this outfit\, all players write and contribute to each other’s songs. \nHe’s also formed his own solo band with Jacob Church\, Jonathan Schallert\, Adam Poor\, and Lehman Sammons. They recorded a 45 at Sun Studios in June which will be out in early 2022. Both songs are further explorations into the storytelling style Hulett continues to live into. \nAs you can see\, Hulett has an endless well of positive energy and creative spirit. He continues to foster his many ongoing collaborations\, but always seems to have more soul in the tank for new projects with new people. \nFor more information\, visit smallbatchrecords.bandcamp.com. You can also follow him at dad_onarrival on Instagram\, JeffHulettMusic on Facebook\, and Jeff Hulett on Twitter. To hear more about his latest albums including some unreleased material\, and previous releases\, check him out on the Shangri-La Records Podcast.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Resident Artists Open Studio Night
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is proud to invite the Memphis community to visit the artist studios. Artists in residence will have their studios open on Friday\, December 2\, from 5 to 7 p.m. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nBrittney Boyd Bullock explores the tension between searching and finding\, obsession and order\, and lightness and darkness through two- and three-dimensional forms. Contemplative and personal\, the process-driven works interrogate anxiety and wonder using materials in a new way\, forcing her to make meaning in the arbitrary jumble. \nBrittney’s work is a sensory dwelling that uses repetition\, color\, and story in ways that trigger joy and wonder. She uses ephemera and memorabilia to reimagine possibilities\, create new solutions\, and ask more questions. Making new contexts for old worlds makes them new again; these new versions of what already exists are how she understands the power of play\, existence\, world-building\, and the human experience. \nR Jason Rawlings is a filmmaker and visual artist residing and working in Memphis\, Tennessee. His work often revolves around the home and how our living spaces connect us to the world at large. The stories are born from a place\, evolve from there\, and are colored by the intricacies of the location. His most recent work\, Natives\, has been featured in both Indie Memphis and Oxford Film Festivals and awarded Best Director by the Mid-South Black Film Festival. He is a graduate of the University of Memphis film program. \nNelson Gutierrez is an artist exploring the constant struggle of individuals and some communities at large for a better life — resilience\, hope\, the search for common ground. His work is informed by personal and collective memories. It is composed of two- and three-dimensional pieces\, conceptual objects and installations that reflect current socio-political issues. Different materials are juxtaposed in a way that provides symbolic relevance to the topic being explored. Diverse mediums are used to express feelings of collective longing\, fear\, grief and hope. \nAngelo Madsen Minax is a filmmaker\, visual artist\, performer\, and educator. His projects consider how human intimacies are woven through personal and collective histories\, cultures\, and kinships. His recent film\, North By Current (2021)\, aired on season 34 of POV (PBS)\, was a New York Times Critics Pick\, and has been called “A beautiful\, complex wonder of a film\,” by Rolling Stone. Madsen is currently a Guggenheim Fellow.

SUMMARY:One Night Only: Mark Edgar Stuart + Blueshift Ensemble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, December 2\, 2022\nDoors 7 p.m. | Show 7:30 p.m.\nTickets: $20 | $15 in advance \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMemphis-based\, Arkansas-born singer-songwriter Mark Edgar Stuart performs a very special concert with Blueshift Ensemble\, a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. Stuart’s acclaimed songwriting will be paired with all-new arrangements written by Jonathan Kirkscey\, for a one-of-a-kind performance featuring a string quartet\, flute\, clarinet\, oboe\, and upright bass. \nYou’ll have a tough time finding a more widely embraced modern singer-songwriter in Memphis – Mark Edgar Stuart’s enthusiasm about his adopted hometown and what it has to offer is magnetic\, and his songs will stick with you. Quick-witted\, empathetic\, and self-deprecating\, aloof but probably alert of the room tone\, Stuart’s complementary musicality and contagiously honest voice showcase a resilient and relaxed artist\, both sage and seasoned. Grammy-winning music writer/director Robert Gordon is a big fan\, often spinning Mark’s tracks on his weekly radio show\, and other critics agree: “His acerbic wit is reminiscent of John Prine and Randy Newman” (No Depression); “His wry\, cutting view of the world makes something old new again” (Paste); “Always maintaining a tender demeanor\, his songwriting is smart as it is sincere” (Pop Matters). Mark’s stories are sweet but never saccharine\, even-keeled but deeply affecting. He’s lovable and literary\, smart yet plain-spoken\, heartening\, funny\, and always memorable. He sounds new and familiar\, fresh yet timeless. His songs sound like your favorite stories\, retold by a friend.

SUMMARY:“A Lifting of the Veil”: A Winter Solstice Celebration with The Pop Ritual\, and Corrina Repp
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents “A Lifting of the Veil”: A Winter Solstice Celebration with The Pop Ritual\, with Corrina Repp in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, December 21\, 2022\nDoors at 7 p.m. | Show at 7:30 p.m.\nTickets: $20 | $15 in advance \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nForming in Memphis\, Tennessee\, in the late summer of 2014\, The Pop Ritual employed an influence of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry’s industrial determination with the psyche-pop sensibilities of Massive Attack to release their first demo—Weak Species—in 2015. The next year was spent establishing live modes locally and on the road in tandem with writing 2017’s Perinde ac Cadaver—a 50-minute self-released endeavor to harness industrial aggression and ambient dynamics. \nAt the end of 2019\, the trio worked with Portuguese/Memphis label Thisco Records (home of such legendary artists as Jarboe and Merzbow) to release It Sheds Again—a 6-track dive into industrial psyche-punk that details evolution amid solipsistic self-destruction both socially and personally. The album has been reviewed as being an “industrial punk cataclysm” with a “rich and grandiose production” [Destroy//Exist 2020]. \nIn light of a canceled US tour\, The Pop Ritual spent the pandemic making progress in new material as well as re-interpretations of their previous works. 2022 includes a return to touring\, the release of new singles\, and a live retrospective in celebration of the Winter Solstice. \nThe Pop Ritual in their current form is Colin Wilson\, Scott Nivens\, and Michelle Karl with special guest Aaron Rude. \n  \nCorrina Repp \nCritically acclaimed guitarist and singer/songwriter Corrina Repp is has recently landed in Memphis from LA\, but she came up in Portland\, Oregon\, in the late ‘90s\, carving out a space as she developed her sound. (A sometime actress too\, she’s also known for a recurring role on Portlandia.) Her first two solo works\, now out of print\, came out at the tail end of that decade\, with four more released in the 2000s: I Take On Your Days (2001) and It’s Only the Future (2004) on Hush Records\, The Absent and the Distant (2006) and The Pattern of Electricity (2015) on Caldo Verde Records. In between those\, Corrina focused on the experimental indie rock band Tu Fawning\, exploring and honing her skills in a quartet setting. The latter half of the 2010s brought Corrina back into the solo world with her 2015 album. She followed that up in 2018 with How A Fantasy Will Kill Us All on Jealous Butcher Records\, also home to Island.
