Marotta Hour: Couch Forts
|
 Thursday, January 21st
7 to 8pm
This month's Marotta Hour features acclaimed Columbus-based acoustic trio Couch Forts, presenting a concert of music by award-winning film composer Jon Brion (I Heart Huckabees, Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). This performance will be the first of periodic concerts of musicians performing music by a single composer.
About Couch Forts:
A three-man band out to change history, members of this fine group are
Owen Kelley, Matt Opachick, and Tyler Evans. With their powers
combined, they create music that is often referred to
as, "architectonic, heavy industrial folk rock with a crude awareness
of the human condition."
Free and open to all. Donations accepted.
This series is part of our after-work programming 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 it's only $3.

On View
Tactile Color
October 6th, 2009 through February 6th, 2010
|
Tactile Color showcases the artwork of SallyB, who creates
touchable fabric interpretations of master works, bringing the
two-dimensional art world directly into the hands of the viewer. The
project began as a way to bring significant artworks to the blind or
those with low vision, but has become a genuine example of universal
design and a wonderful experience for everyone.
On display are several of SallyB's pieces, including
interpretations of Van Gogh, Joan Miró, and Franz Marc. Viewers are
free to explore the works alone or with a guided tour.

Transitions: The Dresden Project Photographs by Fredrik Marsh
January 19th through March 27th, 2010
Artist Reception: February 26th, 5 to 7pm
|
During a three-month artist residency in Dresden, Germany in 2002 and
over 4 subsequent summers, Fredrik Marsh explored the city and its
outskirts photographing the detritus of human culture found in the decaying
interior spaces of vacant factories, abandoned apartments, and hotel
rooms.
The resulting series demonstrates the juxtapositions and ironies still
abundant in the post-Socialist world of Eastern Europe twenty years
after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, showing the old and the new as
well as the grandeur and the decay of these once-majestic buildings.

Art, Documentary, and Propaganda in Wartime China: The Photography of Sha Fei
January 19th through March 27th, 2010
Artist Reception: February 26th, 5 to 7pm
|
 Legendary Chinese photographer Sha Fei (1912-1950) produced one of the
most fascinating photographic records of war. The Sino-Japanese War of
1937-1945 reshaped China and the lives of all its citizenry. Sha Fei's
lens captured these dramatic changes, in particular as they occurred in
North China behind Japanese lines.
His photographs depict the northern
Communist army, known as the Eighth Route Army during the war years, as
it resisted the Japanese. Moreover, they portray the socialist
revolution as it progressed in China's countryside. Combining
photography's potential for art, documentary, and propaganda, Sha Fei
created a large body of photographs in his brief life of thirty-eight
years. While most of the original prints have been lost, their
negatives have survived.
