Films for one to eight projectors
16mm performance piece with multiple projectors. Artist Roger Beebe is traveling to Asheville for the performance.
Talk with Dr. Yael Baldwin and Kenn Kotara
Kenn Kotara’s new frottage work invites the viewer to problem-solve by identifying a subject in the art piece. It’s like finding a face in a gnarled tree trunk, or seeing an animal in a cloud.
Psychologist Dr. Yael Baldwin will discuss the science behind the Pareidolia phenomenon of identifying a recognizable pattern in the visual world. Why do we do this? Is there a benefit? Does it enhance curiosity? Does it keep the mind agile. Come join us and see what imagery you can find in Kenn’s art.
Kenn Kotara: Rise & Run
Kenn is showing new experimental artwork. He initially starts with rubbings from textural surfaces, and then teases out new shapes and subjects.
As Kenn elaborates it “interconnects the sensory system of the haptic and optic, through frottage and pareidolic drawing operations.”
Mana: Beyond Belief, film by Roger Manley
This film is made up of non narrated vignettes around the world. Quite beautiful.

Killick Returns
Killick Hinds lives in Athens, Georgia. His music is Appalachian Trance Metal made on unusual stringed instruments with an emphasis on unquantifiable rhythms, intuitive intonation, and shamanistic ROYGBIV. The primary sonic influences on Killick are animals, wind, water, fire, electrical hum, and silence. Pop-culture mashups and ancient and obscure forms infuse his music; the effect more closely resembles speech patterns and emotionally-drawn architecture than it does conventional Western music. Despite its eclectic nature the sounds are surprisingly familiar and accessible to audiences of all ages and levels of musical involvement. More than 300 Killick albums can be found through:

Fox Smith and Dana Jones. Abstractions riffing off each other using the same dimensions.
Organic/Structure Sculpture Exhibit
Darr’s work utilizes structural elements to recontextualize the idea of community and the often absurd aspects of civilization. Graves’s work addresses notions of expectation and cultural attitudes as it defines our relationship to the natural world.
