Emily Wells
Bio: So many have tried to define Wells’ one woman experience as future classical, down tempo hip hop, greased-up blues, spectral folk, etc. It doesn’t matter. By the time their creative label goes to print, Emily Wells is pouring gas on her former self and lighting the way. Classically trained as a violinist, Wells also performs using acoustic drums, synthesizers, and beat machines. In 2016 Wells released the critically acclaimed full length “Promise” on her label Thesis & Instinct and toured the US and Europe. She will release a follow up EP early 2017.

WOAHMONE! An afterparty for the closing weekend of the exhibition Read My Lips. The evening will feature Nath Ann Carrera and Savannah Knoop spinning auditory HMONES and the Sumptuous Asstral Projections of Ethan Weinstock and Bleue Liverpool!
About Read My Lips
Read My Lips is a two-person show featuring work by Kerry Downey and Loren Britton that considers queer abstraction as an investment in indeterminacy, which allows for an expansive sense of embodiment, including but not limited to, the slipperiness of gender, affect, desire, and language.
Presented by Tinnitus and LPR

Diamond Terrifier
A new exhibition by French-Swiss photographer Sabine Meier, Portrait of a Man is a project 5 years in the making that constitutes a portrait of Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. A labyrinth of free standing walls with 37 direct-to-surface photographic prints seeks to capture the inner workings of a man who, in Meier’s own words, “[his] mental space was constantly shifting, someone who walked and walked some more, who went around in a sleepy daze as much as he ruminated to the point of exhaustion.” Meier found her protagonist Benjamin George Filinson in New York’s Liberty Plaza. Sonia, Raskolnikov’s lover, and Razumikhin, his friend, were found on the streets of New York as well. Meier shot the first half of the project in New York, including at Knockdown Center, adjusting her studio practice to a more street-friendly method. Filinson (Raskolnikov) agreed to follow Meier to Le Havre to complete the project, where they recreated Raskolnikov’s room as a reflection of his inner self.
