The Marotta Hour
Featuring Mike Shiflet
|
Thursday, Decemeber 18th
6:30 to 8pm
Stay downtown after work every third Thursday of the month and check out new sounds curated by local musician and international composer Larry Marotta.
This month Mike Shiflet will activate the OSU Urban Arts Space with analog noise generators controlled by his Mac. The result: a luscious mix of rich drones and fluttering, frequency-jumping noises.
Mike Shiflet is a sound artist now living in Columbus after returning from time abroad in rural Hyogo, Japan. In addition to recording as a solo artist, he has been involved in a variety of groups ranging from the violin-led improv group Burning Star Core and the laptop duo Scenic Railroads to performance troupe Noumena and cathartic sludge/noise band Sword Heaven. From 1998 until earlier this year, he ran GMBY Records and released one hundred albums by improv and noise artists from across the globe.
The Marotta Hour
is an electro-acoustic music series featuring unexpected sounds from
free jazz to electronic to free-form improvisation. Come and hear some
of the most cutting-edge musicians and composers from Columbus and
beyond.
This series is part of our after-work programing offered
Thursday evenings. Before the show stop by Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and ask for the Urban Artists' Special: It's very special
indeed and its only $3.

Alan Crockett: Mark Making
Opens: November 6 - January 24
 From
his earliest figurative narrations to his suggestive pre-figurations of
bountiful color, Alan Crockett has always been a painter's painter;
dedicated to the canvas, to the brush, to the gesture. His retirement
this year forms the occasion for this mini-retrospective of a life in
the studio, and a life dedicated to art, teaching, and family.Mark Making traces, through paintings and drawings, some dating back to undergraduate
work, Crockett's prolific output in the studio and offers viewers the
opportunity to really see and understand the meaning of a life-long
artistic practice. On view are selections from Crockett's thirty-six
years of research into the power of symbol and metaphor, the nuances of
investigation and discovery, the subtleties of poetic color, the
possibilities of line, shape, gesture. All contribute to his
adventurous journey of learning to speak the language of art and life
through the painted canvas.
Co-curated by Prudence Gill and Jan O'Dea.
