Alley, the featured painter for the Memphis In May fine art poster, was born in Memphis, TN, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Memphis. In addition to being an artist, she is Director of Public Art at the UrbanArt Commission and pivot for the Legion of Zoom of the Memphis Roller Derby League. She also sketches, makes lists, reads, shows her paintings regularly at Perry Nicole Fine Art, and most recently created the artwork for the 2007 Memphis in May Fine Art Poster honoring Spain.

Artist Statement
Ordinarily my paintings are informed by the people and places most familiar to me – family and friends, or interesting shadows on old Memphis buildings. For this exhibit I stepped out of my comfort zone to offer viewers an exploration of unfamiliar territory. By depicting the small details and intense colors of a foreign country, and by portraying an audacious segment of society, these paintings feel a little off-balance and suspect. The way I’ve painted them, with acrylic and a little bit of oil on gessoed paper, as opposed to oil on canvas, forced less time and obsession spent on each image, and allows for a focus on the whole, rather than the individual pieces.

The program features:
With What Shall I Wash it? (¿Con qué la lavaré?) María Trenor, 2003, 11 min
Daybreak in the red-light district of a Spanish town. Someone who earns a living on the streets makes the trek home, sits down, and begins removing make-up. A celluloid tribute to the homosexual artistes of the late 1970s, just after Franco’s dictatorship. Sundance 2005 and Winner of the Teddy Award Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival.

Natural Route (La Ruta Natural) Àlex Pastor 2004 11 min
One of the most internationally acclaimed Spanish short films of the year, including the best short film award at the Sundance Film Festival and Spanish Academy Award nomination, young Alex Pastor shows us his innovative perspective on time and life. Divad wakes up after an accident to find himself lost. His home, his wife... everything is unknown to him. Maybe the answers he needs lie in the past.

The Fence (El cerco) Ricardo Íscar, Nacho Martín, 2005, 12 min
The best European short film award at the Berlin Film Festival went to this striking and brutal student thesis. It’s the same gory ritual, every summer. Thousands of migrating tuna fish crowd into the Mediterranean on their way through the Strait of Gibraltar. This films has been the only selected short
film at the Sundance Film Festival 2007.

The Body Against (Contracuerpo) Eduardo Chapero-Jackson 17 min 2005 A young woman obsessed with her image takes a journey into the labyrinth of her own perception, turning her body into a prison for the world to see and living the self-destructive dream of becoming what she is not. This incredible sensitive film premiered at the Venezia International Film Festival, and many more followed to that, proving Eduardo as a Spanish filmmaker to watch.

One Too Many (Eramos Pocos) Borja Cobeaga 2005 16 min
When his wife leaves him, Joaquín turns to his son to help him bring his mother-in-law out of a home to do the housework. This hilarious film has gotten the 2007 Oscar® Nomination by the Academy of Motion pictures Arts and Sciences

Binta and the Great Idea (Binta y la gran idea) Javier Fesser, 2004, 30 min
As part of a collaborative initiative with Unicef, in which Spain’s most notable filmmakers offer their insight and perspective into the lives and minds of children all over the world, this uplifting episode by the highly acclaimed Fesser (Mortadelo & Filemon: The Big Adventure, The Miracle of P. Tinto) takes us to the heart of Africa, where little Binta lives with his intuitive father. This film has received the 2007 Oscar® Nomination by the Academy of Motion pictures Arts and Sciences

Matt Ducklo | Touch Tour Pictures
Opening reception 6-8 p.m.
Power House, 45 G.E. Patterson (between Main & Front Streets)
Exhibition Dates: April 13-May 31, 2007
Power House Memphis is pleased to announce an exhibition of six new works by Matt Ducklo. He is a photographer who captures a moment that is usually staged but in reality is an unusual element of an American institution: from the presentation of the news in TV studios to a new series of works that explore the "Touch Tour" - blind people touching works of art in museums. In these new works his subject is the blind experiencing sculpture by touch. Looking at somebody experiencing something with a different sensibility, the photographs contemplate people, "in the act of seeing." This series includes photographs made in the Metropolitan Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC and for the Power House Memphis a commission to make new photographs at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and Dixon Gallery and Gardens. Ducklo is a native Memphian, this will be his first solo exhibition in Tennessee. Matt Ducklo received a MA from the University of Tennessee in 1996; and his MFA in photography from Yale University in 1999. He currently lives and works in Queens, NY.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am interested in communication and what can be known by looking and how touching can function as seeing. This project is about the limitations of art. A lot of my business in New York City is done in the area around 23rd street and Sixth Avenue. I buy film on 18th Street and have it processed on 22nd Street. I rent equipment on 21st and I print on 27th. I began to notice a lot of blind people in the neighborhood before I realized that the Associated Blind Housing is located on 23rd between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. I don't recall ever encountering a blind person growing up in Memphis. I wondered if Manhattan was probably the best place in the United States for a blind person to live in part because most of the city is on the grid and public transportation is common and accessible. About the time I noticed the Associated Blind, I was making pictures of local newscasters that were related to the sides of buses and the idea of looking for information. I began thinking of other kinds of ways to lead and I found myself making pictures of seeing-eye dogs and their owners, which lead to this current body of work.


Tuesday, April 17, 7:30 p.m.
Net Impact presents a special film screening
Iraq for Sale
Power House, 45 G.E. Patterson (between Main & Front Streets)
The mission of Memphis Net Impact is to strengthen the network of professionals in the Memphis area who use the power of business to create a better world through targeted social, intellectual, and professional activities.
Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war. Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of corporate greed in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private security companies making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so. RSVP required to rsvp@memphisnetimpact.org.


Thursday, April 26th from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Artist Studio Visit
Maritza Davila
3233 Waynoka Cir.
Free for Delta Axis members, $5 for non-members
The Artist Studio Visit includes a light reception and discussion with the artist, Maritza Davila, in her studio.

Maritza Davila is Professor of Fine Arts at the Memphis College of Art. For the past 24 years she has taught drawing and printmaking. Davila has exhibited around the world and has works in collections in the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Asia. She has received awards in the U.S., Puerto Rico and France.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The thread that runs through my work is the collection of experiences that, through blood and culture, make me who I am. My work reflects these histories and choices bound up in the qualities of my essential self. I use frames within frames, house shapes, arches, doorways, lace patterns and the landscape as metaphors for home and the journeys in life related to ancestry, memories, family, politics and the spiritual. I interpret these elements using diverse print techniques and in a variety of media. These expressions lend themselves especially well to original multiples, which are inherently flexible and well suited to propagating my ideas. In artwork that celebrates the past, creates in the present and records for the future, time thus becomes the element that binds medium and concept.

You wouldn't even know a triple homicide took place after these guys get done. Day in and day out Hal & Rod face grieving families, disgusting locations, and awkward scenarios. One day the boys are called to clean up a shotgun suicide. Hal meets the victim's sister, Leslie Howard, and the two start dating. But can love really be found in the aftermath of death?
