SUMMARY:Valerie Piraino: Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Reconstruction\, an exhibition of works by New York-based artist Valerie Piraino. Her work examines how sentimental objects are used to rebuild portraits of place and time. With slide installations\, framed porcelain cameos\, and works on paper\, Piraino uses conditions from a recollected past to address the meaning of nostalgia and memory. The artist will visit Memphis and present a discussion of her work on Wednesday\, November 20\, at 6 pm at the gallery. \nValerie Piraino (b. 1981 Kigali\, Rwanda) received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2004 and her MFA from Columbia University in 2009.  She was artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2009-2010 and was nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant in 2011 and 2012.  Recent and forthcoming exhibitions include “Could Not Bear the Sight of It” Contemporary Art Interventions on Critical Whiteness at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum\, Chicago\, Illinois (2014)\, Photoplay at Cindy Rucker Gallery\, New York\, NY (2013)\, Present Future at Artissima\, Turin\, Italy (2013). She lives and works in New York City. \nArtist Talk: Wednesday\, November 20\, 6 pm (5:30 reception)\nDiscussion moderated by Cedar Lorca Nordbye \nArtist Statement 2013 \n“Working in installation\, sculpture and photography\, my work explores how images can be re-contextualized.   I think of homes and domestic spaces as sites that are integral to influencing subjectivity\, in particular family photographs and slides. \nI look to personal mementos as malleable forms. Working from an archive of slides\, I create immersive tableaux that critique nostalgia. Drawing from theater\, cinema and literature\, I make dramatic and disorienting settings that house projected slides. My photographs are a more literal take on malleability\, where slides are projected on to fabric and manipulated.  I work to create a psychological backdrop where personal narratives are continuously re-interpreted.” \nhttp://www.valeriepiraino.com \nCrosstown Arts thanks Elliot Perry for co-organizing this exhibition. \nImage: Valerie Piraino\, With Pen in Hand\, 2010\, frames\, slide projectors\, slides\, tables\, 7’x7’x9’ \nValerie Piraino: Reconstruction\nOctober 18-November 30\, 2013\nCrosstown Arts\n422 N.

SUMMARY:Jessica Lund: Wreford
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Wreford\, an installation of new work by Jessica Lund on view from August 17 to September 14\, 2013. Jessica Lund is a recent graduate of the University of Memphis’ MFA program. Her work explores memory through mapping and architectural space in the forms of drawings and large-scale installations. \nFrom the artist: \nWreford has been my landlord for the past two years. He rules with an iron fist over a complex of four multi-unit buildings. One of them housed my first-floor one-bedroom apartment. My interest for some time now has been in exploring memory through architectural space and mapping. A recent exodus of 1865 Poplar Avenue has refocused these ideas. \nThis work explores the symbiotic relationship between existing architectural structures and the personalities that inhabit them: \nWreford:  He charged me $2 to wheel my trashcan to the street. He looks like a Ken doll. \nMister:  My cat has moved with me five times in six years. He looks like a stuffed animal. \nThe Neighbors: They held the fence dividing our properties together with a garden hose. I never actually saw them. \nI spent July leaving Wreford’s\, toting boxes across midtown Memphis to a new residence. Cat fur tumbleweeds blew through the apartment as I slowly emptied it of belongings. It was gross and romantic. \nJessica Lund was born in 1986 in Florida and grew up in Alabama. She received her MFA at the University of Memphis and her BA at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. She currently lives and works in Memphis\, Tennessee. \nView a full gallery of installation images here. \nPoster photo by Mim Brooks \n  \n

SUMMARY:Material Anthology
DESCRIPTION:July 17-August 11\, 2013\n\n\n\nMaterial was founded by Hamlett Dobbins and Julie Meiman in late 2004.  A 19’ x 16’ exhibition space set in the storefront on Broad Avenue in the Binghampton neighborhood of Memphis\, Material takes its name from Montessori learning tools.  The space was built to provide emerging and established artists with an intimate\, clean space in which to share their work with Memphis’ growing arts community. The programming consists of monthly or nightly shows as well as artists’ lectures in connection with local colleges and universities. Material has served as a space for young artists to have their first shows\, as well as a place for established local and regional artists to test new ideas in a public forum. In addition to serving local artists\, Material has hosted artists from Birmingham to Tokyo.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates and commemorates Material Art Space’s inspiring and longstanding impact on the Memphis art community and its unprecedented run as an alternative space.  In May of 2013\, Material celebrated its 100th exhibition and in August it will host its final show as Hamlett Dobbins leaves for an eleven-month stay at the American Academy in Rome. The exhibition at Crosstown Arts will feature work by over 50 artists who exhibited at Material from 2004 through 2013. \nAmong the many artists who will contribute to the exhibition are Greely Myatt\, Mark Nowell\, Melissa Dunn\, Mel Spillman\, Bobby Spillman\, Rebecca Robert\, Elizabeth Alley\, Clayton Colvin\, Kathleen Perniciaro\, Douglas Degges\, Dwayne Butcher\, Tad Lauritzen Wright\, Adam Farmer\, Susan Maakestad\, Jonathan Auger\, James Inscho\, Clare Torina\, Jamie Harmon\, Holly Cole\, Pete Schulte\, Georgia Creson\, Alex Harrison\, Jordan Martins\, Maggie Kleinpeter\, Jeana Baungardner\, Joel Parsons\, Mary Jo Karimnia\, and Joshua Huyser.\nContact: Hamlett Dobbins  dobbinsh@rhodes.edu or Emily Harris Halpern Emily@crosstownarts.org

SUMMARY:Socially Awkward
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dwayne Butcher\nOn view at 422 N. Cleveland \n“Socially Awkward is an unaffiliated continuation of the recent Memphis Social exhibitions that took place the week of May 10th at various venues around the city. I was drawn to the word “social” more than anything in regards to this previous exhibition. The visual art in Memphis has historically been traditional and conservative and primarily consists of landscape\, figurative realism\, and still-life painting. There is so much more to the visual arts in Memphis than this\, especially in the context of social practices.Socially Awkward will feature video and installations from Jill Wissmiller\, Brooke White\, Coriana Close\, Terri Phillips\, and Georgia Creson. Each of their works are socially conscious pieces either from a environmental\, gender\, classism\, and/or political perspective. ” -Dwayne Butcher\n\nThe opening will take place Thursday\, May 30\, 2013 at 6-8pm and the exhibition will run through June 30\, 2013. There will be a short gallery talk with several of the artists immediately prior to the opening at 5:30 pm.If you have any questions please fell free to contact Dwayne Butcher at dwaynebutcher@gmail.com or Emily Harris Halpern at emily@crosstownarts.org. \nFacebook event page \nImage: Jill Wissmiller\, Rhinestone Cowboy\, Digital Video Projected on to a Glitter Screen
