Seachange Art Opening
Saturday, March 20, 2010, 3:00 pm
Seachange The artists represented here deal with transformation both as an act that holds potential for an unimagined future and in the ways they view and affect the material they work with. Mundane materials, geometric patterns and everyday scenarios are re-examined, altered and made new. Inherent in these works is a quiet insistence on the importance of personal vision. Martha Clippinger www.marthaclippinger.blogspot.com Martha Clippinger lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Martha's work uses painting in response to the visual potential of found objects like wood scraps and lampshades. These affected objects then become the impetus for site-specific installations in which the works can be seen as both individual paintings and parts to a whole. The physical space in which the work is displayed becomes the final tool for completing the work, just like the irregular outlines of the wood scraps provided the first gesture with which to begin. Martha is the founder of the dirty dirty, an alternative artist space that encourages collaboration and experimentation. Julie Evanoff www.julieevanoff.com/ Julie Evanoff is a Brooklyn based artist who works across mediums. Her participation in recent group exhibitions include: Stories real and vividly imagined at Gallery Niklas Belenius, Stockholm, Sweden; Hallways, Brooklyn, NY; and The Brooklyn Rail, Auction Exhibition, NY, NY. Her animations have been screened in several video festivals including 2k5 Video Festival and City Without Walls, Juried Video Festival. She received the Geraldine Dodge Award for residencies at the Women’s Studio Workshop and the Vermont Studio Center. She completed her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, where she received the Paul Robeson Emerging Artist Award. S Kovach S. Kovach lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Kovak’s painted postcards of U.S. National Parks are depictions of apprehended histories, mystical visions, and the typically unnoticed traces of a physical environment’s story. Intended to suggest multiple realities existing simultaneously in the landscape, her abstraction is of the spirit of place. Sarah G. Sharp www.sarahgsharp.net Sarah G. Sharp is a Brooklyn based artist who utilizes real and imaginary forms inspired by vernacular architecture, analog modes of communication and "inspirational" decor that often address what it means to exist in the margins of a community. She received an MFA in Studio Art and an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art History from Purchase College, SUNY. Sarah received the BRIC Rotunda Gallery Video Fellowship and was awarded a funded residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center in 2009. Exhibitions include Content and Discontent at the Frederieke Taylor Gallery in New York; 50,000 Beds at Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT; Slightly Off Center, at 55 Mercer Street Gallery, NY and a forthcoming solo exhibition at Gallery 1724 in Houston, TX. Sarah recently initiated the collaborative project "From Dexter to Sinister." Parsley Steinwiess www.parsleysteinwiess.com Parsley Steinweiss lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She photographs accumulations, creating a visual catalog of her personal environment. Her series, Contact Sheets, are photographs of hundreds of stacked,photographic prints, created over the past ten years. The resultant image is a series of lines, each representing a contact sheet, a sedimentary record of growth and time.

Exploit the Exchange All Ages Show
Saturday, March 20, 2010, 6:00 pm
The Exploit the Exchange Foundation is an idea born from a group of local teenage musicians that consists of sending money to countries in poverty with big exchange rates so they get to most value out of the charity! Jay Paulos of The Soccer Hooligans had the idea as his mother exchanged dollars for their yearly trip to visit their family in Brazil and he realized how far a dollar goes in countries where the economy is less developed. Coincidentally, these same countries are prone to need the most charity, and that's where it got interesting! Countries like Mozambique and Haiti have big exchange rates and even bigger poverty rates! They plan to make a small difference in many different parts of the world so that instead of trying to fix a problem by throwing ridiculous amounts of money at it, they will give enough to allow for resources to be achieved; to plant self-sustaining seeds. They will play on the third Saturday of the month and before every show will average the exchange rates and poverty rates of countries before deciding which charity to reach out to next. Jay said, "Because like we say in my country: It is human to fall down; however, it is even more human to help those who have fallen to pick themselves back up!"

Vox Pop Blues Night featuring Irving Louis Lattin
Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 8:00 pm
Native Chicagoan Irving Louis Lattin has been playing since he was 13 years old. He grew up on the music of Blues & Gospel like, Mahalia Jackson, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, BB King, Motown, Memphis/Stax and the British Invasion. The list of influences are endless. He began writing songs when he was 17 and also playing piano when he turned 25. Now at the ripe old age of ??? he is still making the music he loves which is a blend of Rhythm & Blues, Pop & Funk. Irving has been actively writing songs 9 years for the organization: "Songs of Love Foundation" which writes personal (one time only) songs for sick children in hospitals all over the United States. He considers it his blessing to do this work. He has also sung & played on a string of local & national commercials for Cover Girl makeup, Chevy trucks, Pfizers pharmaceuticals (a national singing viagra spot ), Modell's sporting goods & Wrangler jeans. Irving has toured Europe, Asia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico etc. many times. He received his super-heroes license last year and is now an official super-hero receiving accolades for deeds known and unknown. Hmmm... Generally considered to be the "real thing" by his peers and such, it's best to form your own conclusions after hearing him. "I just do what I do," he says.
