10 APRIL 2010, OPENING RECEPTION, ''THE BEAST IN ME—JOHNNY CASH' at The Nave
Exhibit page
Rebel, lover, family man, adulterer, addict, believer, sinner—Johnny
Cash is the epitome of struggle. And, while we all suffer the contest
between our wickedness and our righteousness, perhaps what makes this
man different from most is that he embraced both. Desires to
destroy/create, compassion born from being in the muck, a joy that
comes through when one knows sorrow so well—that is grace, that is
Johnny Cash.
Bad men and bad women—we've all met them, we've all been 'em. This
exhibit aims to recognize that sometimes the worst parts of humanity
attend to its virtue; that the actual measure of man's vitality is the
labor to accept our inherit ill will but to not be bent—too much—by it.

Michael Winograd • YouTube
$10
In the 3rd week of April, clarinetist Michael Winograd, accordionist
Patrick Farrell and bassist/singer Benjy Fox-Rosen will pack their
instruments into a car and head north, performing concerts in eight
cities. This Brooklyn trio features three of the busiest
musicians playing Klezmer music in New York today. Blending
traditional Yiddish songs, and new Klezmer compositions with
chamber-like improvisations and spontaneous arrangements, this ensemble
creates a new program for each individual audience.
Clarinetist Michael Winograd has recorded and performed with SoCalled,
Budowitz, Frank London, and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. He has
led workshops and concretized near and far, with highlighted
performances in Reunion Island, the Dawson City Music Festival (Yukon),
the Winnepeg and Calgary Folk Festivals, Klezmore festival (Vienna) and
Carnegie Hall in New York City. He has taught Klezmer music at
the Paris Klezmer week, KlezKanada, and Living Traditions
KlezKamp. In his spare time he produces records, composes music
and plays synthesizer in the Brooklyn based metal band Yiddish
Princess.
Accordionist/composer Patrick Farrell, specializes in new-music,
free-jazz, cabaret, theater, klezmer and various other forms of
East-European folk music. He leads his own group, Stagger Back Brass
Band, as well as playing with Ljova and the Kontraband, Frank London's
Klezmer Brass All-Stars, Veveritse Brass Band, Romashka and in multiple
other groups and odd situations around New York City.
Bassist/vocalist Benjy Fox-Rosen has toured internationally performing
throughout the United States and Europe as a member of the Luminescent
Orchestrii (and with his own ensemble, performing new renderings of
Yiddish folk songs as well as original setting of the poetry of
Krakow's Mordechai Gebirtig. Benjy performs regularly as a bassist with
many of New York's finest Klezmer, Hungarian, Jazz and improvising
musicians.
 
30 APRIL 2010, 8 p.m., AUDREY RYAN and RACHEL EFRON at The Nave
Audrey Ryan • Rachel Efron
Price TBA
Since releasing her debut record, “Passing Thru”, in 2004 Audrey Ryan
has been on the road touring both solo and with a band. Her second full
length record “Dishes & Pills” was released by Folkwit Records in
2008. Her music started out in the jazz/pop vein and has evolved into
an eclectic form of singer-songwriter indie rock of some alien breed
using backwards loops, finger pianos, and other unique instrumentation.
Overall this music blends together her early influences of Neil Young,
Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan with contemporaries such as Robert Wyatt,
Radiohead, Dungen, Wilco, Steroelab, and Arcade Fire. She performs
nationally and internationally and resides in Somerville.
To listen to a Rachel Efron song is to be led across an inner-landscape
at once beautiful, dangerous, serene, and startling. Rachel offers that
rare combination of sophisticated musicianship and commanding lyricism.
There is a delicacy and astuteness to her perspective on the world, and
she possesses that most precious and rare artistic quality of being
able to honestly share herself with her listeners. She is versed
in classical, jazz, folk, and pop music, and travels unabashedly
between the soulful and sweet, saucy and swinging, by way of her
alternately sincere and comically cynical portraits of life and love.

9 MAY 2010, OPENING RECEPTION, 'SACRED ART' at The Nave
The
Nave is an art gallery located in a church. What does having a gallery
in a "sacred space" do to the art in that space? What effect does it
have on art produced for that space? A place of worship is inviting
artists to display their inspirations. Does the juxtaposition allow the
spiritual and artistic to inform and feed off of each other? Or does it
raise questions on the appropriateness of certain subjects, fear of
proselytization, and concerns about censorship and interference? The
show "Sacred Spaces" wishes to answer these questions, or, at least, to
propose some individual reactions to them.
