May 16 Tuesday

Josephine Foster
DQE
Music
8:30pm
$8

"With her eccentric, warbly phrasing, arcane lyrics and swirling self- harmonies, the lady’s otherworldly neo-folk evokes an imaginary early fifties Sunday morning television broadcast somehow saved from the dumpster. “Celebrant’s Song” is a medieval reel with especially jewel- like singing, while “Crackerjack fool” is a memorable “Short’nin’ Bread” adaptation. Think Nico meets Slapp Happy, avec pennywhistle."
Scram Magazine

"The songs move easily between spooky Appalachian narratives, 19th century music hall tunes and even Far Eastern folk with Foster’s undeniably mad spirit shining through on every track."
Mojo (**** album review)

"Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You" is wonderful, unnerving, and faux- historical in the same way that Devendra Banhart can be, nostalgic for the pagan past of an alternate America."
Pitchfork Media


May 17 Wednesday

Language Harm
”How Stuff Works”
Literature
8:00pm
$4


Are you tired of ‘Science’’s side of the story being crammed down your throat? Looking for the new phlogiston? Having a problem understanding string theory unless it’s delivered to you in sestina form? Then boys and girls you need to be at APG’s “How Stuff Works” Language Harm. Everything from the perpetual motion machine to the inner protocols of the PTA explained.

Special Guests; Allison Rentz and Lori Guarisco

LANGUAGE HARM is curated by the Atlanta Poets Group.



May 21 Sunday

Stephen Flinn
Son of C.O.D.
Music (euphonic productions)
8:00pm
$5


Stephen Flinn has been a professional musician for over twenty years, and has performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. As well as being an accomplished drummer and percussionist, he works with unusual sound sources including self-made insturments and found objects. He lives in San Francisco and spends his time teaching, performing, and writing.

" Flinn's cymbals and bells seem to presage a toyshop explosion with all the playthings resounding every which way as they soar into the air."
- Ken Waxman, Jazzworld.

"Flinn is very quick with the sticks, responding to ever change with a rim shot or whistle here, a crash of junkyard percussion there. He even lists paper bags as one of his instruments."
- Bruce Greenlee, Earshot Jazz


"Keep The Meter Running" presents us with an unpackaged way of popping our fingers and tapping our feet, which is about as revolutionary as music can actually get."
- Ben Watson, The Wire, July 2004.

In the Small Gallery:

Patrick Heagney
‘StoryTime’

Color Photography

Story Time rests on an overriding sense of ambiguity. Blurred images
deliberately steer the viewer away from any knowable identity or narrative.
Without a clearly focused center, the photographs encourage the audience to
search out the story by filling in the gaps, like illustrations to fairy
tales whose words have been forgotten or an old photo album found in a
stranger's attic.
