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:Modern Masters Jazz Series: Jimmy Bruno
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series: Jimmy Bruno with the Ted Ludwig Trio at Crosstown Arts. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTuesday\, January 17\, 2023\nDoors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door | $10 student tickets at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJimmy Bruno\, born July 22\, 1953\, in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, is a master jazz guitarist and jazz educator. One of the most critically acclaimed jazz guitarists performing today\, Jimmy Bruno came to prominence as a jazz musician in the 1990s\, after a successful twenty-year career as a sought-after commercial guitarist and session musician. \n“Get on the bus; we leave tonight.” \nThose were the words that began Jimmy Bruno’s professional career as a guitarist. Most of the other guitarists auditioning for Buddy Rich’s band that day in 1973 were getting drumsticks thrown at them\, Buddy’s not-so-subtle way of showing disapproval. But not 19-year-old Jimmy; he got the gig. A Philadelphia native\, he was born into a family no strangers to the music world. Jimmy’s father played guitar on the 1959 hit “Guitar Boogie Shuffle” with Frank Virtue. Jimmy’s mom was a gifted singer. Living in such a musical household\, playing guitar eight to ten hours a day was normal for this south Philly kid. He studied jazz improvisation with local Philly bass legend Al Stauffer and to develop technique\, taught himself to play the rigorous and exacting classical violin etudes of Wohlfahrt and Paganini. Although he briefly considered leveraging his perfect SAT scores into medical school\, a summer guitar gig in Wildwood\, New Jersey\, changed the direction of Jimmy’s life forever\, putting him into the path of Buddy Rich. \nJazz guitarists just don’t come any better. Jimmy Bruno combines a dazzling virtuoso technique with drive and swing to produce\, in concert and on record\, superb and inspired lyrical improvisations. \n—Maurice J. Summerfield\, noted British author of the definitive and highly regarded The Jazz Guitar Guide and The Classical Guitar Guide. \nAfter a whirlwind round-the-world tour as the youngest member of the Buddy Rich Orchestra\, he went on to play guitar in orchestras for Frank Sinatra\, Anthony Newley\, Doc Severinsen\, Lena Horne\, and many more music icons. Additionally he spent many years as an LA session musician working with Tommy Tedesco. But his first love was always jazz\, and by the time he was in his mid-thirties he was ready to come out of the background and into the spotlight. The first step was moving back East. \nPaying his dues by playing blistering guitar in the small clubs and venues around his beloved Philadelphia during the 1980s\, his reputation as one of the hottest guitar players grew. In 1992 he was discovered by Carl Jefferson\, the founder of Concord Records and landed a multi-CD recording deal. Since then\, Jimmy has recorded over 13 critically acclaimed CDs\, including “Sleight of Hand\,” “Like That\,” and “Polarity” (with Joe Beck). His most recent CD “Maplewood Avenue” (Affiliated Artists Records) has been described as having “…a ‘classic’ feel to it… like a famous album we somehow hadn’t discovered yet\,” and was honored by being selected as one of the top CD’s of 2008 by Downbeat magazine. \nIn recognition of his prodigious talents\, Jimmy has been invited to play at major music festivals around the world\, including the JVC\, Berks\, Vail\, and Concord Jazz Festivals\, and a whirlwind stop at the Pescara Jazz Festival in Pescara\, Italy. Over the years\, he has shared the stage with a who’s who of legendary and highly regarded musicians: Joe Beck\, Bobby Watson\, Jack Wilkins\, Tal Farlow (at Farlow’s 75th Birthday Concert)\, Howard Alden\, Christian McBride\, Curt Elling and many more. When a tribute concert was planned for Barney Kessel\, Jimmy was one of an invited group of 30 guitarists chosen to perform and was honored to open the tribute (with Howard Alden). He has also participated in tributes to jazz giants Kenny Burrell\, Herb Ellis and Johnny Smith. \nIn May of 2007\, Jimmy and Affiliated Artists opened the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute (JBGI). With his unique insight into jazz and jazz guitar\, Jimmy brought his method and “no nonsense” approach to jazz improvisation to eager guitar students around the world. Five months later\, his long-standing reputation as a jazz educator was further enhanced when he was invited to address and perform at the four-day Jazz Improv Convention in New York City. \nDownbeat magazine — in celebration of their 75th Anniversary in 2009 — named Jimmy as one of the top 75 guitarists of all time! \nIn 2011\, Jimmy created his own independent online jazz guitar school — the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Workshop — with all-new\, improved lesson content and delivery systems to better serve his huge jazz guitar student base around the world. Having spent three years with the Institute\, improving upon and tweaking his teaching method thanks to the direct feedback from his students\, he has once again revolutionized the way students can learn guitar on the Internet.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents 3 WOMEN
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents 3 WOMEN at Crosstown Theater. \nRobert Altman / 1977 / 124 minutes / PG \nThursday\, January 19\, 2023\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nIn a dusty\, underpopulated California resort town\, a naive Southern waif\, Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek)\, idolizes and befriends her fellow nurse\, the would-be sophisticate and “thoroughly modern” Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall). When Millie takes Pinky in as her roommate\, Pinky’s hero worship evolves into something far stranger and more sinister than either could have anticipated. Featuring brilliant performances from Spacek and Duvall\, this dreamlike masterpiece from Robert Altman careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal\, resulting in one of the most unusual and compelling films of the 1970s. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Band members Landon Moore\, John Whittemore\, Pat Fusco\, and Danny Banks\, along with ace percussionist Felix Hernandez recorded the album in the historic home of renowned Civil War historian\, Shelby Foote. \nAptly titled “The Sirens of Titan: A Preemptive Scoring\,” the purpose of the debut album is to act as the soundtrack to Dan Harmon’s proposed limited series adaptation of the novel. With the as-of-yet unheard genre\, Progressive Latin Space Country\, Salo Pallini hopes to preemptively score other literary works bound for the screen. \nLandon Moore\, who originated the concept and composed the first nuggets of music\, is a highly regarded bassist in Memphis\, playing with local notables\, Marcella and Her Lovers\, Mark Edgar Stuart\, and Steve Selvidge and is ubiquitous in the recording scene. Landon plays electric and upright basses as well as synths and guitar on the record. \n\n\n\n\nJohn Whittemore joined Landon in composing music for the album\, playing guitar\, pedal steel\, and a variety of other instruments\, contributing to the wide-ranging sound of the album. John has performed with The Reigning Sound\, Mark Edgar Stuart\, Jack Oblivian and the Tearjerkers\, Neighborhood Texture Jam\, and the Delta Queens. \nDrummer Danny Banks joined the group\, having played frequently with Moore and Whittemore. He regularly performs and tours with Nicole Atkins and John Nemeth. Danny is among the top session players in Memphis\, having appeared on the Letterman Show at age 11. \nKeyboardist Pat Fusco was added to the lineup and brought his mastery of piano and organ performance and also played synths and vibraphone on several tracks. Pat also composed significant chunks of music on the record. \nFor the recordings\, Memphis percussionist Felix Hernandez provided a variety of percussion to several of the tracks\, accentuating the Latin elements within the compositions. \n

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 at Crosstown Theater. \nJohn Carpenter / 1976 / 91 minutes / R \nThursday\, January 26\, 2023\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nNew 4k restoration! This stark modern homage to Howard Hawk’s Rio Bravo updates the action with a youth gang attacking a closing police station in a blighted ghetto neighborhood. Rapid-fire banter flies fast and furious between charismatic convict (Darwin Joston) and policewoman (Laurie Zimmer) as the faceless\, virtually supernatural marauders attack. This remains one of Carpenter’s most effective pictures\, an edge-of-your-seat thriller that put him on the map as an imaginative\, creative force to be reckoned with! – Deaf Crocodile. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Their passion shines through in every note\, drawing in fans from across the universe. Though little is known about the early days of the band\, what is clear is that it was formed long before the rise of the third and fourth dimensions. What we do know is that their music touches people in a way that nothing else can\, with full consent of course. \nSpeaking to a bouncer at a small club at a rare show in Memphis\, Tennessee\, famous old lady Betty Bamboozle\, asking of DCHS’s music\, “What is that?” The bouncer’s response was immediate and clear\, unmasked fear in his voice\, “I don’t know lady. It’s dark\, it’s light\, it’s beautiful\, and it’s horrifying all at the same time.” \nEven less is known of the fans of Dream Crusher Hope Smasher. They are a secret society. An elite club in which membership is granted only to those who truly appreciate the music or pay a small fee or take the band to dinner. However\, the members of the band keep a low profile to avoid being discovered by people from “lesser” dimensions who just wouldn’t understand their genius. \nFrom the depths of the underworld to the farthest reaches of space\, Dream Crusher Hope Smasher has always been one step ahead of the zeitgeist. Their legendary live shows and groundbreaking albums have them cemented as an iconic band in every sense imaginable—just not in your reality.
