Curated by Ed Brown

*Ed Brown* is an American artist coming from Detroit currently living and working in Providence, RI. He draws from everyday life and culture using a dry humor to explore expectations and assumptions about meanings and representations. His work is a passive resistance to generalizations that challenge our understanding of the cultural and material landscape surrounding us. He uses any media that is suitable for this purpose.
*Moke Li* is part of a new generation of Chinese artists who work in a variety of media, including digital media, painting, sculpture and installation. Li received a B.A. from China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011 and is currently pursuing her M.F.A. in Digital+Media at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and festivals internationally. Li is currently interested in multi-directional power relations as controlling, surveillance and discipline between states, corporations and citizens.
*Matthew Gaertner* is an artist living and “working” in Providence RI. His work has been exhibited internationally.

FREQUENCY PROVIDENCE EVENT: Haiku Intensive
Tuition is somewhat sliding scale: $85 – $100, according to your means
Often misrepresented or only partially understood, the heart of Haiku contains many lessons for poets in its compacted form: image, metaphor, enjambment, attention, word choice, and silence. This intensive will survey the history and core principles while reading ancient and contemporary examples. Multiple haiku will be written and work-shopped throughout the intensive. By the end of the day you will be equipped to incorporate the powerful discipline of haiku into your life, using it to hone your poetic practice and increase your daily awareness. Bring lunch, and clothes suitable for going outside in.
Instructor: Janaka Stucky
Janaka Stucky is the Publisher of Black Ocean, which has produced a number of best-selling contemporary poetry books as well as the annual poetry journal, Handsome. He is the author of Your Name Is The Only Freedom and The World Will Deny It For You. His poems have appeared in such journals as Denver Quarterly, Fence and North American Review, and his articles have been published by The Huffington Post and The Poetry Foundation. He is a two-time National Haiku Champion and in 2010 he was voted “Boston’s Best Poet” in the Boston Phoenix.

OPENING
New work by Dan Talbot, Frog Elaine Wang, Caitlin Cali
*Dan Talbot*
I make paintings of the spaces and things around me as a way of being more deeply embedded in the world. To do it well, however, this way of working takes a lot of concentration and at some point I get bored and stop. Sometimes I fill in the left over spaces with whatever I feel like, doodling and improvising. While I’m making them, these doodles seem like they are having a conversation with the scenes I’d originally created, and perhaps with the history of image making. But after a while I think that really I’ve just made a mess. I try to fix it but am never really satisfied and at some point just give up, thinking, “I shouldn’t doodle on my paintings anymore”. The ultimate messiness of this second situation helps me better appreciate the clarity of the first part.
The work in this show addresses the relationship between no-nonsense, empirically derived imagery and information that is generated through ways of thinking and seeing that are more internal, improvised and associational. Addressing this dichotomy is a way of resolving the larger tension in image making between painting and drawing, color and line, synthetic, reflective gestures versus immediate, reactive ones. Hopefully, in trying to resolve this tension, I have made something that is somewhat interesting to look at.
*Frog Elaine Wang*
I started making things out of polymer clay about two months ago. My process is casual, driven by experimentation and technical troubleshooting. I’m working on developing practical puppets for future shows. Ideally, the figures would move well, express a wide range of feelings, yet firmly stand upright on their own. They also need to be light, but strong- withstanding frequent packing, traveling, and live handling onstage.
I begin building pieces without planning what they should look like in the end. My hands move impulsively, using whatever materials I have, choosing characteristics that I reflexively relate to. I consider all my pieces as pseudo-Self-Portraits, even when they reference other models (i.e. friends, random shapes, skeleton hybrids).
*Caitlin Cali*
Some of these are drawings of memories of places I’ve been. The malformed things are drawings of how I feel. I got a brush pen and sumi ink and became obsessed with the novelty of using it. Then, the black and white made it easier to draw memories because I didn’t have to fret over colors.
If you miss the opening, come by OPEN HOURS with Dan Talbot. He’ll be hanging out and possibly painting in the space too…

Patrick Elkins presents his latest shadow puppet show:
INTO THE DREAM HOME
INTO THE DREAM HOLE is the whimsical tale of a spider with no name who is experiencing an identity crisis after 14 years of waiting for its mother to come back from the other side of the universe. After chewing a magic leaf which is rumored to make communication with various cosmic entities possible, the spider enacts a plan to find and enter the Dream Hole - a legendary depository for all of the lost and broken dreams in the world - and travel throughout space and time in an effort to realize its ultimate role in the complex web of universal existence. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned.

“The man behind the name is our good friend Rence Liam, who’s been tearing it up with his eccentric attention demanding one-man-band performances across the USA. Imagine attending a secret party thrown by Salvador Dali in an ornate smoke-filled drinking parlor in the dark belly of a creaky figate with Blackbeard, Captain Beefheart and a bunch of crazed, violent gypsies… Lots of old timey instruments (Accordion, Cornet, Trombone, Banjo etc.) played very energetically with a near-punk delivery with Rence’s belted lyrics over-the-top.. Quite a spectacle!”

“Dear Rabbit killed it tonight. He live looped layers of acoustic guitar and mellow trumpet, a la Andrew Bird, and then sang into his guitar pickups for yet another layer… he unplugged and walked off stage-right into the intimate foyer where an old out-of-tune piano sat waiting…”

BEAUTIFUL POSSIBILITY: A Traveling Exhibition and Research Project
Visiting artist Alison Pebworth’s exhibition/research project takes the prototype of the 19th century American Traveling show as inspiration for engaging others about what it means to be American. This interactive project combines art, history, and anthropolgy for an investigative look at obscured people, places, stories, and myths and how they contribute to our collective understanding as who we are as Americans.

From Ian, host of Coffee Club:
This Coffee Club is a fundraiser for Work Hard Stay Hard, the queer dandy skillshare / workweek that happens every year to sustain IDA (an amazing queer sanctuary space in rural Tennessee). I’m not sure if anyone from Prov is going this year, but we wanted to send them some money anyway to help with projects!
cheap coffee / iced coffee / homemade bread / other baked goods / tables to draw at / friends / new friends / open to all. ♥ ian
ALSO, check this out Coffee Club friends! There is a cool thing happening! Maren Jensen, one of the two artists whose work is on the walls at the space this month, is making a community quilt. Read more about it here (under Community Quilt Project at the bottom), and consider bringing some “clean, used/recycled clothing, fabric, scraps, tablecloths, curtains, blankets, prom dresses, spiderman sheets, etc” for her to use. Unfortunately she will be away tomorrow but will be working hard in the space during open hours to make the quilt over the course of the Precious Objects show.

PANEL DISCUSSION as part of Precious Objects
Textiles, Needlecraft, and Quilting in Art-Making
A discussion speaking to the tension surrounding the idea of textile, needlecraft, and quilting as art forms. Many differentiate between an “art quilt” and a “traditional quilt,” or “art” and “craft.” Why this resistance and insistence on differentiation? Featuring Maren Jensen (artist, Precious Objects), Joan Wyand (AS220 Free Culture Award Recipient), Hollis Mickey (RISD Museum).

MUSIC SHOW
Liz Isenberg
with Orion Dommisse
Whether she’s performing solo, in intimate new ‘chamber music’ settings, or going full throttle with various jazz-driven ensembles, Helen Gillet has been described as having “a Mingus-like passion both as a player and as a band leader, often coaxing energy and lifting the spirits into dynamic and dazzling displays of artistry.” — Michael Dominici, WWOZ Radio New Orleans.
Helen Gillet grew up in Belgium, Singapore, Chicago and Wisconsin. She has forged a path for the cello in the New Orleans music scene since her arrival in 2002 and has performed extensively across the United States and Western Europe. Beginning cello lessons at the age of nine, Gillet has taken her classical education all the way to a Master’s Degree (Beloit College ’00, Loyola University New Orleans ’04). Her training as an improviser began with North Indian Hindustani vocal ragas in 1998, which launched her into the worlds of free improvisation, jazz, funk, rock and French chansons. Gillet recently performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Voodoo Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and Hindsgavl Festival in Denmark, Mirano Oltre Festival in Italy and at the Kennedy Center Center in Washington D.C.
