SUMMARY:Aaron Scamihorn and Jason Roemer: Freaks & Geeks
DESCRIPTION:Freaks & Geeks is a collection of hand-painted and screen-printed portraits by Aaron Scamihorn\, along with a unique collaboration with writer and Lodge principal Jason Roemer. With a focus on perceived beauty\, Aaron’s portraits break social convention by inviting you to stare into the intriguing faces of those we see around us everyday. The show’s pairing of three stream-of-consciousness narratives with over-sized portraits forces you to come face-to-face with a set of distinctly American characters who hope for the best\, but ultimately cope with the worst.

SUMMARY:Laura Ortiz Vega:No USA return
DESCRIPTION:For her debut solo exhibition at Tube Factory Art Space\, Laura Ortiz Vega presents a new series of “thread paintings” inspired by the rhetoric surrounding President Trump’s proposed US-Mexico border wall. \nVega takes as her departure point the now famous images of the eight border wall samples President Trump browsed in 2017 as they were being tested along the actual border between San Diego and Tijuana. Listening to the speeches Trump has given about the wall\, and reading his tweets on the subject\, Vega then extracted the eight adjectives the President most frequently used to describe the project. \nGREAT\, BIGGEST\, IMPENETRABLE\, PHYSICAL\, TALL\, POWERFUL\, BEAUTIFUL\, INCREDIBLE \nEach word an imposing declaration; each wall sample an impenetrable facade. \nSeizing the chance to subvert public perception of these messages\, Vega presents the adjectives like graffiti on the border wall samples\, turning each section of wall into a billboard advertising its own hyperbolically alleged attributes. \nSays Vega\, “I saw the opportunity to present this matter in a positive note. I envisioned the wall as a blank canvas for expression\, and in a way\, made him eat his own words. [It is] a chance to reject the negativity and turn this around.” \nVega models her distinctive thread painting method after the traditional craft techniques of the indigenous Huichol people of western Mexico. She first covers a surface with cera de Campeche\, a natural beeswax from the Mexican state of Campeche. She then “draws” on that surface with cotton Perlé embroidery thread\, using a palette knife to embed the thread into the wax. It is a long\, delicate\, and sometimes messy process\, and takes weeks to finish a single piece. The resulting image-object has a texture reminiscent of a woven textile\, yet is inflexible. \nVega was born in Mexico City in 1975. She studied Industrial Design at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City\, earning her BFA in 2000. Her work has been exhibited extensively\, including at the Museo de Arte Popular de la Ciudad de Mexico\, Lyons Weir Gallery in New York\, The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco\, Breeze Block Gallery in Portland\, OR\, and Galerie Ernst Hilger in Vienna\, Austria. It has been featured at Zona MACO\, Pulse LA and MIAMI\, Houston Fine Art Fair\, Art Chicago NEXT\, Art Market San Francisco\, Art Toronto\, London Art Fair\, PINTA Art Fair\, and Supermarket Art Fair\, Sweden. It was selected for the Tequila CENTENARIO Award at Zona MACO and was awarded with an Honorific Mention at the Bienal de Artes Visuales de Yucatán in 2009.

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT Rhinestone Country Presents Dallas Moore
DESCRIPTION:Dallas Moore’s old-school country sound developed honestly\, following over 20 years of sharing stages and studios with his honky-tonk heroes. Satellite radio support\, paired with a willingness to perform over 300 shows a year\, finds the seasoned veteran positioned to reach the Americana masses with his forthcoming album Mr. Honky Tonk. \nTastemakers have taken note already\, with the Dallas Moore Band crowned the Ameripolitan Music Awards’ 2017 Outlaw Group of the Year. The award came after three prior nominations for the band No Depression credits with bringing “hangovers and excitement to outlaw country fans everywhere.” \nRecent career strides caught the attention of producer/country-music heavyweight Dean Miller\, son of Roger Miller and an accomplished songwriter himself\, having penned tunes with George Jones\, Hank Williams III\, Jamey Johnson and more. Miller entered Baird Music Group’s Nashville studio with Moore and his band to record what was originally planned to be a five-song EP. “Out of all the things we’ve ever done\, I think Dean captured what I do way better than anyone else we’ve ever worked with\,” Moore says. “It was the best recording experience I ever had.” \nThe EP turned album after its barnstorming title track—a song Moore actually wrote 20 years prior—gained serious traction on Sirius XM satellite radio’s Outlaw Country channel. The album’s other tunes came more recently\, all of them written in the past year and a half\, making them clearer snapshots of how sharing stages (and rounds of shots) with his country-music idols has impacted his songwriting. “In the last several years\, I’ve been real blessed to tour with a lot of my songwriting influences\, and they’ve helped me improve my craft\,” Moore says. “Guys like Dean Dillon\, Billy Joe Shaver\, and Ray Wylie Hubbard have been so supportive. It’s really cool when your heroes become your friends\, and that’s what happened in the past several years.” \nMoore’s stage show—already seen in years past by fans of Willie Nelson\, Merle Haggard The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd—has improved with every opportunity to open for an iconic country or Southern-rock artist. “If you’re playing in the slot before Dean Dillon\,” Moore says\, “You’d better not suck.” \nAnother crew of country luminaries performed on the album\, including harmonica legend Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson\, Waylon Jennings\, Chris Stapleton)\, famed Nashville session bassist Michael Rhodes and pedal-steel master Steve Hinson. “We walked into the studio and saw all of these incredible players lined up\,” Moore says. “I thought they were there to play with someone else!” \nEven with such ample backing\, the main attraction on Mr. Honky Tonk is still Moore and his deft skill as a songwriter and lyricist. Like so many of his inspirations\, he’s an ace at spinning relatable stories. On “Killing Me Nice and Slow\,” he weaves an impactful tale of lost love (“It’s a long way down when you’re higher than a Georgia pine on love and whiskey the night before / Then you hear the slamming of the door”). From there\, Moore puts his spin on time-tested country tropes such as celebrating place (“Texahio\,” a nod to splitting time between Texas and his native Cincinnati) and balancing Saturday-night hellraising with Sunday-morning God praising (“Shoot Out the Lights”). \nMoore’s mother—a bluegrass and gospel performer herself—bought her son his first guitar when he was 16 years old. Before that\, sports had been his first priority. “My big claim to fame back in those days—one year I beat out Ken Griffey Jr. for the most home runs in the league\,” Moore says. “But then I got a guitar the next year\, and I quit—I walked away as a winner!” \nA few years later\, Moore enrolled at Northern Kentucky University to study jazz and classical guitar. But he found his true calling in a less high-brow environment around the same time\, performing on the local bar scene in a country house band. Multi-night stints playing classic covers set a precedent for the Dallas Moore Band’s sound and unrelenting tour schedule. And Moore’s gruff vocals have made him an ideal singer of songs about hard luck and harder living as far back as his 1991 debut LP\, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. \nOnce Mr. Honky Tonk arrives in February\, expect Moore to play nonstop in support of his new album. He played a whopping 327 shows in 2017\, and that was without an album to promote. Who knows\, he might just play solo or with his band every single night in 2018. \nFAQs\nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?\n21+ only event
