September 27  Wednesday

Justin Peake
GFE
Music
9:00pm
$7

Justin Peake is a multi-talented producer from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Peake mixes acoustic and electronic free jazz precisely with cutting edge machinery as well as working and performing as a drummer. His versatility is noteworthy. As a drummer, he works in traditional and free jazz groups, electronic ensembles, and filling in occasionally with local rock outfits, while maintaining an active production schedule for his solo work and other recording projects. Laicos Lamina is the newest of his projects, taking the sounds of Peake's beatmaking and improvised sample performances and unifying them into a display of his personal musical undercurrents.
Peake also received a college degree in philosophy. His experimental interests mostly involve cognitive circuitry, aesthetics, perception, improvisation, and environmental modeling. He engineers custom software modules in order to acheive his visions.

Also:

GFE:
Jeff Bradley: double bass
Scott Burland: pedal steel guitar/electronics
Robert Cheatham: sax, keybs, vocals
Kevin Haller: guitar/electronics
Bob Hulihan: electronics
Milton Jones: percussion
John Lowther: turntables

GFE plays a vast and spacious blend of improvised rock and far-out jazz. Each number expands and contracts with celestial majesty and psychedelic power while clusters of rhythm and melody disassemble themselves in a haze of droning sonic clutter that's sometimes calm and sometimes chaotic.

$12

The FWHC Presents…
The 10th Annual CHOICE Celebration
Tickets $10 in advance/ $12 at the door

Click here to purchase advance tickets

This fall, get ready for the hottest party of the season—the 10th annual CHOICE Celebration! It is certain to be HOT because never before has a party been so necessary!! In spite of the enormous amount of progress that has been made over the past three decades towards ensuring reproductive justice for the next generation, 2006 has seen a steady decline in that progress, as various policies and laws have been reversed or adjusted in ways that disadvantage women. As the year comes to a close and upcoming elections draw near, we celebrate the progress we have already made as well as the many opportunities for further progress that lie in our future!

There will be food and drink, door prizes and a silent auction, live music and performances, belly dancing and ordinary dancing ’til the AM!
Get ready to celebrate 10 years of young women's leadership! Join us for food, drink, door prizes, silent auction, live music, performances and dancing until the midnight hour. With performances by Theresa Davis, Michelle Friedman, dr. madelyn hatter, Jamarah Armani and The Eyes!

Everyone is welcome! So if you would like to enjoy a spectacular evening, invite your friends to stop by, eat, drink and be merry -- while fighting for justice -- with the Feminist Women's Health Center ...

Established in 1977, the Feminist Women's Health Center is a not-for- profit organization designed to empower women through service, education and advocacy. As Atlanta’s leading non-profit feminist women’s health resource, it has earned an outstanding reputation for providing quality care and community education while working to improve women's health.


September 29   Friday

IndieMOVE
Dance
8:00pm
$8

1. indieMOVE ... In our creations, we attempt to remove the predetermined. Our movement is your lense though which we reveal ourselves and how we interact with the world. We are not absurd; we are bordering on silly; we are far from classic; we are authentic.

2. In the fall of 2005, Molly Schneider Perez and Sarah Ash Evens launched indieMOVE...an independent movement project. They premiered Car Rides II; Durable Merge at "Mosaic," a showcase of Atlanta choreographers, produced by Duende Dance. They also performed in "Café Medusa," a celebration of woman in the arts, and at "The Field," under the direction of Lori Teague.

3. Premiering New Work : "They are our friends, our roommates, and our confidants. Who cares if they lick their own crotches, if pooping in front of someone poses no cause for discourse, and if they possess more hair than the guy with the man sweater at the pool?? They are our pets dammit! And we love them. Please join us for our premiere piece where indieMOVE is exploring all things that encompass pets."


September 30   Saturday

Tunnels
Outpost 9
Music
9:00pm
$12

A quartet of inventive musicians who produced sounds on the edge of jazz, Tunnels was the brainchild of Swiss vibraphonist and percussionist Marc Wagnon and bassist Percy Jones (Brand X), who was an essential element of the first recording put out by the band, titled With Percy Jones and released in 1994. Drummer Frank Katz, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Van Manakas were also brought on board and helped develop the spastic fusion style that would be evident on Tunnels' second album, Painted Rock, which was released by Wagnon's label, Buckyball Music, in 1999. The group resurfaced in 2002 with the release of Progressivity, which featured notable appearances from guitarist John Goodsall and violinist Mark Feldman.

Combining Progressive Rock, Ambient Minimalism and World Beat sensibilities, Outpost 9 orchestrates unusual sonic inventions employing a combination of traditional rock instruments and digital technology to forge new tonal pulses along the time/space continuum.

In the Galleries:


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

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

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….that’s right THIS Saturday the 30th

Small Gallery:

Alison Weldon:  ‘She’s A Beaut!’

The images are derived from 1950s-era pin-up illustrations. The pieces exhibited are drawings created with pin and thread, traditional materials used in and for domestic tasks. By using these materials in conjunction with the images, I create a dichotomy between the traditional comfort of the models' beauty and the aggression inherent in the weapons they wield. This juxtaposition not only magnifies the power of the models' beauty, but also illustrates how their beauty, like the weapons they hold, can be used as a tool.

Through October 7th.
