Fri 10/4 @ 5-9PM
It looks like the weather will still be pretty decent for October’s Walk All Over Waterloo so you might want to head over there to catch some music, check out some art and maybe even have a bite to it.
The weather is getting unpredictable though so the monthly free concert sponsored by Cleveland Rocks: Past Present Future isn’t scheduled for the outdoor stage but indoors at the Treelawn (still free). There you can catch something old, something new …. Joshua Jesty, who will be there will his latest band the Intimacy Coordinators, has been around the area music scene for a couple of decades and has also taken his catchy pop-rock tunes on the road. Frida and the Mann just got together last year but have already been knocking people out at events such as Larchmere Porchfest and Ingenuity with their hard-hitting rock & roll sound. The music starts at 7.
While you’re at that end of the street, stop in Jerry Schmidt’s sculpture studio (the one with all the metal sculptures in the front) to say goodbye. Jerry’s leaving the street and moving his work to a piece of land he’s bought outside Geneva-on-the-Lake where he plans to make wind chimes.
Over at Bellamy Printz’s Deep Dice Art Projects, Cleveland Institute of Art senior Jamie Brinker will be showing a series of prints, ranging from lithographs to monotypes, called An Illusion of Loveliness that explore and critique the contemporary female experience. They’re an extension of a previous series called Flower People, depicting women as flowers.
“I relate the idea of the ephemera to both flowers and the human body,” says Brinker says. “Flowers, commercially sold for their beauty, live for a short time before eventually wilting. Likewise, women are often valued based on contemporary beauty standards, often unattainable. My work aims to call out this issue and provide a sense of reliability and comfort.” Deep Dive is open from 5-8pm.
Staying open a little later — 6-9pm — is Wiliam Busta Projects upstairs from Doink’s Smash Burger. Head up the stairs to check out the opening of Earth, Air, Fire and Water: Curlee Raven Holton, featuring reductive serigraph and relief prints. We’re told his work “tells stories in a way that is similar to the structure of dreams, in which images pulse and fade, overlapping and tempting, leading, then twisting and eluding resolution. But these are not dreams. His works offer narrative that guide and instruct in wakefulness. They are the journey of an artist at a reflective time of life, looking backward at life’s lessons, looking forward to life’s mysteries.”
Waterloo Arts will be opening Folktales: A Journey through Illustrated Worlds by Dinara Mirtalipov, revealing the process behind her children’s books.
There’s always more. Walk around and you’ll stumble on it. (Article Gallery will be closed for the month so don’t go there!)
