AMPLIFY with Discwoman

By

This will be a donation based workshop lead by Richard Kennedy as part of Amplify: SIREN x Discwoman x Brutaż. All donations received for this event will benefit Standing Rock.

About the workshop:

There’s something about screaming that we don’t understand. It struck us that we haven’t ever screamed in our life, just because we felt like it. It struck us that we can’t even imagine the scream of our friends. It struck us that we can’t scream together. It struck us that it seems the only screams that are acknowledged are those of the powerful.

Why isn’t it a socially-accepted action when feeling anxious, vulnerable or just strange? Why do we feel like we have to bear the shit quietly, if we’re unable to change the course of events? Why do we have to shut up?

It’s because we’re not meant to hear each other, united, it’s because we’re potentially unsafe, potentially irresistibly strong. It’s because we’re supposed to feel weak. Fuck that. Let’s scream it off.

We, SIREN (London), Discwoman (NY) and Brutaż (Warsaw) are three techno collectives usually channeling loud sounds through speakers. This time, however, it’s about YOUR noise. We’re hiring professional coaches to help you scream loud and clear, for many reasons and for no reason. Come and build a wall of noise with us. Together, let’s take up space, express our rage, feel powerful and be LOUD. Let’s AMPLIFY each other.

Please note: These workshops are intended as a performance for group empowerment & are not intended as therapy for those with PTSD. We have people on hand throughout the sessions to ensure everyone is doing okay!

FiftyTwo Ft: Sarah Heinemann

By

Knockdown Center is pleased to present Skagit, a mural by artist Sarah Heinemann, and the inaugural work in FiftyTwo Ft., a series of long-term commissions of wall-based artworks in Knockdown Center’s East Corridor.

Heinemann’s paintings are a meditation on the intuitive connections between nature, color, and space. Conceived as a response to time spent traveling through the Pacific Northwest, Skagit’s delicate abstract planes give form to an emotional experience of the natural world. Regarded as a whole, the structure of the painting depicts a landscape, however each individual section may be considered for its unique luminous surface.

Sarah Heinemann is painter based in Brooklyn. Originally from from Chicago, IL, Heinemann attended Smith College in Northampton, MA., and holds a BFA in painting from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She received the Odyssey Travel Grant from SAIC which funded a three month trip to Vietnam, Nepal, and Thailand. Sarah recently co-organized and participated in Behind the Great Green Glass at The RE Institute in Millerton, NY. She has shown with Sardine Gallery and Jason Rulnick Gallery in New York, Marwen Alumni Gallery and Open End Space in Chicago, as well as Mass MoCA’s 28 Holden St. Gallery in North Adams, MA. Besides maintaining her own studio practice, Sarah has worked for the studio of Sol LeWitt since 2000, realizing LeWitt wall drawings for museums, galleries, and private collections.
