SUMMARY:One Day Workshop: Kintsugi
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Annelies Gentile \nLocation: TJF \nWhen: Saturday\, June 21st \nTime: 1:00-3:00 PM \nKintsugi is a Japanese word that represents binding broken pottery with gold. In this workshop\, we will modify this ancient process for new and varied learners and easy for all abilities. We will use tile\, small bowls\, or plates as the ceramic that will be broken and then bound back together with quick fuse glue and mica instead of traditional resin or real gold. Participants end the workshop with a piece that symbolizes the acceptance of imperfection and reinforces the beauty of resilience. All materials provided. You can bring your own piece of small pottery to use for the workshop if desired. \nWe offer scholarships for those who cannot afford the registration fee. Email the Operation ART Program Manager at isabella@thejoelfund.org to receive the scholarship promo code with your name and email address.

SUMMARY:PineCone Open Bluegrass Jam
DESCRIPTION:The monthly PineCone Bluegrass Jam is a “circle jam\,” where musicians gather in a circle and play together. Tunes are played up to speed and everyone interested in playing bluegrass instruments is  welcome. \nThis jam will be held outdoors when weather permits. TransferCo has a beautiful patio\, with lots of room for pickers and spectators alike. There’s also a spacious ballroom just off the Food Hall that’s got room for a nice sized circle. \nJam leader Ron Raxter is pictured far left playing the upright bass. (photo by Tom Beck)\nFacilitated Ron Raxter\, the repertoire includes both instrumentals and vocal songs. Ron is one of PineCone’s founding members and is active in a number of local jams.

This jam tends to draw a big crowd\, and it is open to musicians of all skill levels. Please help us make sure that newer players feel welcome! Also\, big\, mixed level jams can be challenging.

SUMMARY:André Leon Gray - Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join André for a discussion of his solo exhibition\, “Full Spectrum Dominance” on view at Artspace May 2-June 29.\n\n\nJoin interdisciplinary artist André Leon Gray for a conversation on history\, power\, displacement\, and identity as he discusses his solo exhibition Full Spectrum Dominance on view at Artspace from May 2-June 29. \n \nArtist Statement \n“Full Spectrum Dominance is a visual exploration utilizing works that meditate between culture\, identity\, displacement and history while challenging power structures and disrupting social hierarchies. I am interested in illuminating the complex duality of remembering and forgetting by constantly rousing the past and present\, while addressing the elephant in the room. \nThe title of this exhibition refers to a military entity’s achievement of control over all dimensions of the battlespace\, including terrestrial\, aerial\, maritime\, psychological\, and bio-or cyber-technological warfare. Here\, the title connects to the global hegemony imposed with colonialism and imperialism. In poly-tricks\, the need for dominance is fueled by greed. \nI am exploring the universal law of cause and effect\, particularly how political structures and actions of a few affect the livelihood of the masses\, whether it is stealing land from indigenous people to fulfill a Doctrine of Discovery and a Manifest Destiny\, or obliterating land and its residents to expand a young empire in the 21st Century.” \n \nAbout André Leon Gray \nAndré Leon Gray was born in 1969 in Raleigh\, North Carolina where he lives and works as a self-trained interdisciplinary artist. He was Artspace’s first Emerging Artist in Residence in 2000. \nWithin his installations\, tar paintings\, drawings\, collages\, sculptures\, video and audio\, he explores and investigates power structures\, social hierarchies\, culture\, identity\, and history. His artistic practice primarily uses discarded and reclaimed objects charged with sociopolitical meaning to forge links between the past and the present. \nHis work has been featured in numerous exhibitions\, including Post Hip Hop? or return of the Boom Bap!\, Project Row Houses\, Houston (2024) and Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Gallery\, New York (2023) curated by william cordova; To the Hoop: Basketball in Contemporary Art\, Weatherspoon Art Museum\, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2020); and Dust My Broom: Southern Vernacular from the Permanent Collection\, California African American Museum\, Los Angeles (2019-20). In 2023\, he produced two Miami bass inspired songs for william cordova’s installation in the traveling exhibition The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century. \nGray is a recipient of the 2024 Joan Mitchell Fellowship and the 2023 21c Research Triangle Artadia Award. He was the 2024/25 Sylvia Smith ’73 Artist-in-Residence at Dickinson College and has attended several residencies including the Atlantic Center for the Arts Residency (2024); McColl Center Artist Residency (2022); and the Fountainhead Residency (2011).
