Eyedrum events August 17 – August 20, 2006


There are NO gallery hours this week!


This month’s Podcast is now available! This month's show is now available and features performances by Jonathan Kane, Rising Appalachia, Bent Frequency, Daniel Clay, Tiptons Saxophone Quartet and others. The upcoming 5-day Table Of The Elements festival (Labor Day weekend) gave us a chance to play some Rhys Chatham, Tony Conrad and Sun Agustin. Finally, the Eyedrum visual arts crew came in to talk about art shows past, present and future, the Warhol grant, and the state of Eyedrum as a gallery in general. A special edition of this podcast that should not be missed!

Go! is an improvising duo that was formed in 2004 by Mahlon Howard on Saxophones and Pat Lawrence on acoustic bass/live electronics. Combining the elements of improvisation, pop music, experimental noise and free jazz, Mahlon and Pat are developing a versatile and dynamic sound that is at once engaging and hauntingly familiar. The elements of melody, harmony, and rhythm move freely through their landscape of sounds that flow from intricate and subtle to nothing less than sonic mayhem.

Go! is based in North Carolina and spends the better part of its performance schedule on the road playing shows from Chicago to Atlanta and various spots along the east coast. Shows have included Eugene Chadbourne, Dave Rempis and his percussion quartet with Tim Daisy and Frank Rosaly, and also the duo of Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone from Brooklyn. They are also actively involved in seeking out collaborations with other musicians that expand and deepen their sound as a duo. Most recently performing with Tim Mulvenna, former drummer for the Vandermark 5, in Chicago.

GFE:
Jeff Bradley - double bass
Rob Cheatham - saxophones, keyboard
Kevin Haller - guitar
Bob Hulihan - electronics & knives
Milton Jones - percussion
John Lowther - turntables
Jeff Rackley - sound

or some combination of the above...

"GFE applies the principles and approach of freeform jazz to rock music. The results are a spacious amalgamation of experimental jams that are sometimes sparse and sometimes chaotic, but always captivating."
- Chad Radford, Creative Loafing

"What Color the Dawn:
Breaking Silence on the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot"

Visual Artists Respond:
John Abner, Tony Bingham, Hermina Glass-Avery, Michael Harris, Theodore Harris, Daniel Hoover, Chea Prince, Karen Tauches

A listening station of oral histories by first and second generation witnesses will also be installed.

Curated by Kevin Sipp with Louise E. Shaw

September 22, 1906, white mobs poured into the Five Points area intent on racial violence. Inflamed by months of political rhetoric and newspaper sensationalism that fed racial fears and stereotypes, the violence against black citizens spread rapidly to East Atlanta, to Brownsville and Inman Park. In the end, at least twelve were dead, hundreds injured; fearful for their lives, many fled the city, their fates somehow erased from history. What Color the Dawn peels back the layers of this buried history in an effort to challenge our communities to re-view our shared history.

Through September 30th.
