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). Gray’s artwork is in the permanent collection of the California African American Museum\, the North Carolina Museum of Art\, and the Gregg Museum of Art & Design at NC State University. \n \nAbout Artspace \nArtspace is a non-profit visual arts center located in Downtown Raleigh.

SUMMARY:"Stuff Inside My Head" - Staged Reading
DESCRIPTION:As part of the “Unspoken” art exhibition\, Drinking Gourd Gallery\, Southeast Regional Library and the Wake County Public Libraries invite you to join us for a community-centered experience that shines a light on men’s mental health through the lens of art and live performance. Written by poet\, author\, and playwright Michael Garcia\, “Stuff Inside My Head” is a groundbreaking play that combines poetry and social commentary to address and confront the stigmas that continue to plague men of color and their mental health. The play revolves around Anthony Reynolds\, an emotionally fragile poet\, who contends with depression\, feelings of failure and family tragedy. In this excerpt reading of ACT I from the play\, Anthony invites two of his childhood friends to his Harlem apartment to help him prepare for an open mic event\, but things take a wrong turn when a letter bearing bad news opens old wounds. The accusations and revelations that follow stoke resentment and anger amongst the friends and reveal long-kept secrets that threaten to destroy lives. Cast: Kevin “Kaze” Thomas as Anthony Reynolds\, Khalid Greenaway as Caesar Rodriguez\, and Ajani Kambón as DeAndre Johnson. Performance will include a post-show Q&A (question and answer) session with the playwright\, cast members\, and a mental health professional.

SUMMARY:Witch
DESCRIPTION:A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target\, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town\, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her – and then returns again – unexpected passions flare\, alliances are formed\, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama\, this sharp\, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by. \nBy Jen Silverman \nDirected by Jeri Lynn Schulke \n“Witch” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French\, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
