March 31 Friday

Erik Hinds/Susie Allen – Devil Music
Music
9:00pm
$5

Californian Susie Allen and Athenian Erik Hinds will perform together in a new duo, bringing harp and H'arpeggione into completely new collaborative dimensions.

Susie Allen is widely known for her premiere performances of new music for harp throughout the U.S., Canada, South America, Australia and Europe. Susie performs on the concert harp, the electric harp and the Kayagum (Korean zither). Her latest escapade was an improvising trip on the trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Beijing, China, improvising with folks along the route and making a CD in Novosibirsk, Siberia with Roman Stolyar and Sergey Belichenko. She's also just started working with a trio, NIRUSU III, with UK bassist Rus Pearson and electronic/video artist Nicholas Chase.

Erik Hinds of Athens, Georgia is a tireless advocate for improvised and the other kind of music. He plays quartertone electric guitar, Big Red harp guitar, and his devil cello: the H'arpeggione, an upright acoustic instrument with 12 sympathetic strings. Erik focuses on the raw sound of his strings in all their microtonal glory; his style blends primitive folk, heavy metal, and sacred musics from around the world into a distinct voice. Erik has played with countless improvisers and performs regularly around the country, to the delight of millions. Erik runs Solponticello Records, looks good in black (the new salmon), and is obsessed with old-school arcade games. His latest album, a solo acoustic H'arpeggione version of Slayer's Reign In Blood is out now.



April 1 Saturday

Katherine Marbury
Art
Opening Reception, Small Gallery
6:00pm – 8:00pm
Free


Katherine Marbury presents:
All my guilty pleasures…
Have become habits
(a star-crossed romance of video, velvet, and oil paint).

Projecting video onto painted portraits, Marbury uses the unlikely setting of an Atlanta IKEA store as her subjects’ backdrop. “Shooting video portraits in IKEA allows me to suggest shopping as a metaphor, because the experience of ‘going shopping’ reminds me of the way we sometimes select an identity for ourselves from among a glittering array of choices. With the abundance that surrounds us, we sometimes forget to do the really pleasurable work of creating a unique identity to express ourselves” , she explains.

Marbury’s previous painting and drawings have been explorations into other ways of crafting personal identity. These investigations have led her to various late-night haunts where, camera in hand, she observes and records the interplay of constructed personas. In addition, Marbury created a site-specific memorial to unmarked graves in Oakland Cemetery, 17,000 Known Souls, in 2005. Currently she is an MFA candidate at Georgia State University; “All my guilty pleasures have become habits’ is her exit show.
