April 17-May 3: Experimenting with Sound and Sight

While gathering together this collection of upcoming events, I have noticed that spring may also be the time for exploration and experimentation into new avenues of art and performance. Living in a college town, late April is when students present their end of the year work publicly. Seeing or hearing emerging artists’ finished works can be exciting; knowing that such dedication and creativity happened in downtown Fayetteville and finally seeing the payoff adds a special element to our region. Additionally, professors begin to free themselves up to their own creative pursuits. Artists are utilizing creative alternative venues that they can make their own instead of booking bar shows. Everything is happening all at once as the internal creative process is given to external forces before the students go on break. Because of this burst of energy, it is truly a fascinating and unique few weeks to be involved in art in the Arkansas Ozarks.

April is also National Poetry Month. KUAF, our local NPR station, is doing a great job of having local leaders read poems that inspire them on air. Additionally, What About This: Collected Poems of Frank Stanford has just been released, an almost 800 page collection of Stanford’s work from all of his major publications as well as unpublished manuscripts, poems, and other ephemera. Stanford’s poetry, for just knowing a little about it, seems tortured, dark, violent, sexual, unafraid, and rooted in southern literature while being socially pointed for progressive change. He’s been compared to Rimbaud and Keats in being able to charge his poetry with youthful energy and individualism. Having attended the University of Arkansas and lived in Fayetteville, Frank Stanford had binding ties to Northwest Arkansas and the University, and, because of this, continues to have a following in the creative writing department and beyond. Stanford also has a cult following nationally, but his work, published before he took his own life at age 29 in 1978, was almost impossible to purchase until now.

This volume includes all the works published in his lifetime, except for his epic The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You which is in excerpts. The collection is published by Copper Canyon Press, the largest poetry-only publisher in the United States and is edited by Michael Wiegers. Stanford left so much unpublished material that a second publication Hidden Water: From the Frank Stanford Archives will be released later this year under Third Man Books, the publishing arm of musician Jack White’s record label. I would highly suggest purchasing What About This at Nightbird Books when you can and learning more about Frank Stanford by reading Matthew Henriksen’s article in the Arkansas Times at http://www.arktimes.com/arkansas/the-return-of-frank-stanford/Content?oid=3801756, or check out the New York Times review at http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/07/books/review-what-about-this-collected-poems-of-frank-stanford.html?_r=0.

In this vein of artistic experimentation, the following are events that I am most excited about in the next few weeks. Also, something to note, if an event is free, please bring at least $5 for donations, drinks, merchandise, or additional support for the venue, artists, and performers in other ways.

Friday, April 17, 6-11pm: Truck/Art Opening Reception at the Pressroom in Bentonville, free

Truck/Art will be in the parking lot behind the Pressroom while the reception takes place in the restaurant where a drink special and a signature cocktail were designed specifically for the event. The new exhibition will premier, titled Structural Defiance: Ba’aler Abstraction, featuring new work by Bentonville based artist Louis Watts. The label of “exhibit” is a bit misleading in this instance as the artist utilizes the truck in conjunction with his works in a way that creates one total work, exhibition as art.

Friday, April 17, 7pm: 4th Year Student Poetry Reading at Giffels Auditorium in Old Main, free

The reading will feature graduating MFA students from the University of Arkansas, Willi Goehring, Kathleen Heil, and Diana Reaves,

Willi Goehring is a poet, folklorist, and theater artist. He received a BA from Knox College in Creative Writing and Performance Studies, and is an MFA candidate in Poetry. His work has appeared in places like Fried Chicken and Coffee and The Midwest Quarterly. Recent performance and folklore credits include exhibitions for the Fayetteville Roots Festival and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. He is a company member with the Artist’s Laboratory Theatre and is a a co-leader of the Fayetteville Oldtime Music and Dance Society, with whom he performs and teaches regionally.

Kathleen Heil was born and raised in area New Orleans and lived in Phoenix, Edinburgh, New York, Italy, Madrid, and on Bayou Terrebonne before moving to Fayetteville. A former Walton Fellow in Translation and the recipient of two Holmes Awards for Creative Nonfiction, her poems, translations, essays, and short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in such publications as Diagram, BOMB, The Collagist, Gigantic, Third Coast, Guernica, The Rumpus, Vintage Shorts, Subtropics, PANK, Chicago Review, and The Barcelona Review. She will be reading poems from her thesis, more like the weather.

Diana Reaves grew up in southeastern Alabama along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. She is completing the final semester of her MFA in Poetry at the University of Arkansas, where she was a Walton Fellow. Reaves is a poetry reader for Bellevue Literary Review, and has taught in the U of A’s Upward Bound program and served as editor of its student literary journal. Her poems are forthcoming in Michigan Quarterly Review, Southern Poetry Review, The Louisville Review, and Tar River Poetry. Work has previously appeared in Chicago Quarterly Review, Boxcar Poetry Review, The 2River View, and The Midwest Quarterly, among others. She currently lives in Fayetteville, AR, and teaches creative writing at the university.

Saturday, April 18, 7pm: The Mesh: An exploration of movement through dance, film, music and painting at the Fayetteville Underground, $5 suggested donation

What started out as a way to perform dances and show films soon became a testament to one of the most primal and essential aspects of life, movement. The Mesh represents the idea that all the various movements are interconnected and interdependent, but remain distinct from one another.

The dance groups Entity and Dancers on Campus were formed around the same time and are sister projects. Entity, comprised of April Robertson, Shannon Terry, and Avery Martin, is a modern-contemporary dance trio whose pieces are collaborative and experimental. Dancers on Campus includes Robertson, Terry, and Martin, as well as Missy Conry, Becky Welch, and Katie Walker. This group was formed as a Registered Student Organization of the University of Arkansas.

Other artists involved will include:

Jessica Love, experimental film artist from Fayetteville, AR

Blessing Etumudor, modern yet classic photographer and film artist from Tulsa, OK

Brandon Smits, an innovative film artist and musician from Tulsa, OK

Echo Bones, an indie-rock, three piece band from Tulsa, OK, http://www.echobonesok.com/

MM Kent, a Fayetteville Underground painter, http://www.wingsandroots.com/bridge_.htm

Saturday, April 18, 7pm: Wendy Whelan Restless Creature at Walton Arts Center, $10-$25

The New York Times calls her America’s greatest contemporary ballerina. Her captivating dancing with the New York City Ballet has thrilled audiences for 29 years. Wendy Whelan’s elegant movement and intelligent approach to performing is legendary and this has never been more vivid than in her new project, Restless Creature. Whelan collaborates with four young and prodigious choreographers in a suite of new duets performed by Whelan and each choreographer in turn. The choreographers’ unique styles stretch Whelan’s artistry in unexpected ways as she adapts to each distinct vision while maintaining her own glowing individuality.

Sunday, April 19, 9pm-12am: Guilty Pleasures Night at JRs Lightbulb Club, free

I usually admit proudly to my guilty pleasure songs, so bring it on. Drink specials include $1.50 Rolling Rock Drafts and $2 wells.

Thursday, April 23, 5-7pm: Happy Hour Networking Event for Young Professionals at Core Brewing Company-Rogers, free

I love hanging out a local brewing companies. They are all so different in place, but similar in how they distinctly reflect the neighborhood they are nestled into. There’s always a core group of friends and neighbors at these little gems that you never see anywhere else, and you always feel like you’re in a new place. Sometimes people bring in food, watch movies together, sit around a fire, or play games. It just seems like home. Plus I love the little taster glasses they give you so you can try a little bit of everything, from standards to experiments. In this instance, patrons get a special of $2 Non-Imperial pints while partaking in a relaxed social networking event for Northwest Arkansas’ Young Professionals.

Northwest Arkansas’ Young Professionals is a non-profit corporation founded by young professionals, oriented towards promoting business to the younger, professional populations of both Benton and Washington counties. Through networking and social events, volunteerism and community service, NWAYP endeavors to invest in and support the community, making Northwest Arkansas a more attractive place for young professionals to live.

David Sedaris is back in town again for an evening of conversation and masterful satire. The NPR humorist and The New York Times bestselling author shares top-of-mind reflections from his collection of sarcastic personal essays. As one of America’s preeminent humor writers, known for his sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Sedaris’s deft ability to slice through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves he is one of the most observant writers of the human condition today.

Friday, April 24, 5:30pm: Reception for Laura Polaski // Noise. at the Fine Arts Center Gallery, free

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Fine Arts Center Gallery will present ceramicist Laura Polaski’s MFA Thesis Exhibition Noise. The exhibition will be on view from April 16-26, 2015.

Noise. considers the interruption of fear and trauma on individuals during their pursuit of pleasure and excitement. By utilizing the physicality of materials to reflect human figures, emotions, and the vulnerability of living things, Polaski’s drawings and sculptures capture the effects of struggle. Artwork featured in the exhibition strives to conjure the subjectivity of experienced emotions. Textures, colors, and materials are exploited to create an environment where the viewer simultaneously experiences serenity and violence, as well as delight and grief.

Friday, April 24, 6-8pm: PechaKucha April 2015 at Modus Studio, free

PechaKucha, the Japanese word for chit-chat, describes a presentation style in which a speaker shares 20 images on a topic of their choice for 20 seconds a slide, totaling six minutes and 40 seconds. The format, which keeps presentations fast and simple, powers multiple-speaker events called PechaKucha Nights (PKNs). A PKN has been described as kind of like a big party where the presentations are the game —fun, social, but often informative and interesting.

The presenters on this night will be:

Ben Mills of Fossil Cove Brewing Co.

Meredith Mashburn of Meredith Mashburn Photography

Chris Lankford of Equestrian Bridges

Dayton Castleman of 21c Museum Hotels

Friday April 24, 7pm: Art Talk Featuring Guy W. Bell at the Fayetteville Underground, free

Little Rock artist Guy W. Bell, whose work was shown at the State of the Art exhibition at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, will give a talk about his life in art and his unique piece Ascension of Man. The work is fascinating and unique to see, as the top of the pyramid in Ascension, floats and rotates above its base. There are also tons of small details that may not be instantly noticeable. The event is free and open to all ages of the public. Refreshments will be provided and donations are encouraged for the Fayetteville Underground. The talk is part of the generous grant from the Wal Mart Foundation for special programs and exhibitions.

The installation Ascension Of Man is comprised of two works, Ascension, a three-dimensional pyramid, is flanked on both sides by a two-dimensional diptych, Unseen Opposition. The pieces combine to show that the desire to create is fundamental to human history. “Through creating, we give validity to our existence. Through art, we assess our role within the world we have created,” Bell said.

Guy W. Bell began showing in Little Rock galleries alongside other southern artists. He was able to exhibit in the rotunda of the Arkansas state Capitol, through which his work was purchased for many state entities, including the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion. In 2013, Guy was approached by curator Chad Alligood of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to display his piece Cain and Abel in State Of The Art: Discovering American Art Now as one of the nation’s important emerging artists. A video documenting the construction of Ascension of Man titled Collaborative Creation was featured in publications such as Wired, Vice, Beautiful Decay, and Artillery. Bell currently lives and works in Little Rock, Arkansas. His works are represented in collections worldwide including the United States, England, France, Turkey, Puerto Rico, Singapore and Canada.

A professor of English and creative writing at Eastern Illinois University, she is also the author of two award-winning poetry chapbooks and the editor of The Poetics of American Song Lyrics (University Press of Mississippi, 2012).
