SUMMARY:Mohamad Hafez Retrospective Art Exhibit at Cuesta College
DESCRIPTION:For its flagship show of the year\, the Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery at Cuesta College presents a Retrospective exhibition by Syrian-American artist and architect Mohamad Hafez from Oct. 24 through Dec. 20. \nBorn in Damascus\, Hafez was raised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and educated in the midwestern United States. His art reflects the political turmoil in the Middle East through the compilation of found objects\, paint\, and scrap metal. Using architectural skills\, he creates surrealistic Middle Eastern streetscapes that are architectural in appearance and politically charged in content. \nHafez’s work reflects his deep interest in the cross-disciplinary exploration of street art and realistic\, yet ironic sculptures. He purposefully infuses a stark contrast between the scenes he creates and the messages imbued in his work. Messages could include verses from the holy Qur’an\, audio recordings from his homeland\, or other elements of Islamic heritage reflected in the architectural typography. \n“It’s our biggest show of the year\,” said Cuesta College Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery Coordinator Emma Saperstein. “It is a huge honor for the gallery to host Hafez’s very first retrospective in his career. The show will span over 20 years of his work and practice.” \nHafez’s artwork was recently featured in several highly acclaimed exhibitions. He is profiled in The New York Times\, The Guardian\, The New Yorker\, and National Public Radio. Hafez is the recipient of the 2018 Connecticut Arts Hero Award for his extensive and continuous body of work on issues such as the Syrian civil war\, the worldwide refugee crisis\, and an overall desire to counter hate speech. \nRetrospective marks the first time Hafez’s artwork will be seen on the Central Coast. The opening reception is on Oct. 24 from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. with an artist talk at 5:30 p.m. in the Experimental Theater at the Harold J. Miossi Cultural and Performing Arts Center. A sneak peek reception for students is at noon in the art gallery. A Syrian film screening and talk-back with Hafez will be held on Oct. 22 from 5 – 7 p.m. in Room 6304. \nThe Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery is in Room 7170 on Cuesta College’s San Luis Obispo campus. Visit the gallery webpage or call (805) 546-3202 for a full schedule of exhibits and hours of operation.

Moves offers a flexible and functional exercise plan for Parkinson’s patient that targets many symptoms and is easily adjustable based on disease severity. PWR! Moves are performed as large movements with focus on posture and high effort\, meant to assist in mobility. \n  \nPWR!

SUMMARY:Fremont Theater Presents: The Drums
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Nov 07\, 2019\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith: Cowgirl Clue & Jack Gray\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION\nThe Drums will be live in downtown SLO at the Fremont Theater on Thursday\, November 7!\nAbout this Event \nTickets On-Sale Friday\, September 14th at 10 AM! \n♦ SHOW INFORMATION ♦ \nDoor Time- 8:00 PM\nAll Ages \n♦ TICKET OUTLET ♦ \nBoo Boo Records\n978 Monterey St • SLO\nMon-Wed 10-8\, Thurs-Sat 10-9\, Sun 11-6 \n♦ BAND INFORMATION ♦ \nOn Brutalism\, the fifth LP from The Drums\, a lot is different. It is quite possibly the best collection of songs in the band’s ten-year career. The album is defined by growth\, transformation and questions\, but It doesn’t provide all the answers. Brutalism is a form of simplistic architecture defined by blocks of raw concrete. Brutalism is rooted in an emotional rawness but its layers are soft\, intricate and warm\, full of frivolous and exquisitely crafted pop songs that blast sunlight and high energy in the face of anxiety\, solitude and crippling self-doubt. \nIn 2017\, The Drums put out its first record as a solo project. Abysmal Thoughts belonged to Jonny Pierce alone. It discussed his painful divorce. Since\, he has returned to New York and now lives between there and LA. “I felt my work in LA was done. I was exhausted\, depleted and sabotaging myself\, partying so much but in reality running away from pain. It was a downward spiral.” He wanted to deal with unresolved facets of his relationship with himself so he did therapy. “It was do or die\,” he says. “Figuring out what it is that makes me happy\, and acknowledging that I deal with depression.” He looks at Brutalism as an extension of self-care. “In order to take care of yourself you have to ask questions. Those are the things I needed to confront. It’s interesting talking about the past\, dealing with things that are long overdue. I’m delivering something unsure and unclear.” \nEven the fact that Brutalism sounds intentional\, focused and efficient is a symbol of how Pierce’s prioritizing of his own health and wellbeing has bled into how he makes music. For the making of this album\, between his lake house in Upstate New York and a studio in Stinson Beach\, California\, Pierce was more open than ever\, keeping his control freakery at bay\, working with others to produce and record the album. He brought in Chris Coady (Beach House\, Future Islands\, Amen Dunes) to mix it. If there was a guitar part he wanted to write but couldn’t play\, he brought in a guitarist. It’s also the first Drums record with a live drummer. Delegating freed up Pierce’s time to produce a more specific vision. \nHis intentions were rooted in pop\, as they’ve always been. Back in The Drums’ previous iterations\, however\, the pressure was on Pierce to maintain the innocent and nostalgic sound of this surf-pop indie band and it didn’t allow him to explore sex\, drug use\, darker emotions or how he felt currently. Abysmal Thoughts was the first occasion he had chance to do that. Lyrically Brutalism is another giant step in that direction. It’s much more cut-throat. “I think there’s a parental advisory sticker on the cover!” laughs Pierce. “I didn’t have the courage to stand up for what I wanted before. I felt I had to keep things whimsical and that’s not who I am. It feels empty.” Sonically he had been devoid of external influences\, so afraid of being accused of losing the purism of The Drums’ sound. Now he’s rediscovering music: everything from SOPHIE to 90s band Whale. They inspired the loop-based\, breakbeat drums on ‘Kiss It Away’ and ‘Body Chemistry.’ “I used to think our songs sounded like they were held together by scotch tape. These are more bulletproof.” \nEvery track on the album is a standout. ‘Body Chemistry’ is the most infectious\, a song about learning how to not escape in other people. “I think you can’t be intelligent and not be a little bit sad\,” says Pierce\, of his own permanent rain cloud above his head. ‘626 Bedford Avenue’ does what the best pop songs do: it alerts the nostalgia cog in your brain. It’s a familiar melody that you think you’ve heard before\, which works given the context of looking back on a specific time and place. ‘Brutalism’ is about a love so intense you feel destroyed by it. Pierce tends to find himself loving in a very extreme way that’s almost harmful. ‘Loner’ documents the painful process of healing. “I don’t want to be alone and I am scared of all the people in the world\,” he sings about not knowing how to socialize. A reassuring thing has been in rediscovering that Pierce was building a community in the intricate relationships he has with listeners. Now that he’s alone in this project it’s even more apparent. \n“That’s the one thing that’s kept me going through this\,” he says. Brutalism is defined by vulnerability. It is truly pop at its core with thoroughly modern production. “I love pop but I feel that there’s a sensitivity that’s missing\,” he says of the landscape. Pierce wants to sacrifice ego in favor of tenderness. “I wanted to make a pop record where I’m not declaring how great I am\,” he laughs. “I’m questioning if I could ever be great? I’m a grown man saying: ‘ I feel more crazy than ever. I feel lost. I’m terrified of the future.’” With ‘Blip Of Joy’ he ends on a note of hope. “I hope that one day I won’t deal with depression\, that I can love in a way that doesn’t feel scary\,” he says. That’s why you can dance to Brutalism and you can laugh to it too. Even though it’s heavy. \nIn many The Drums has always belonged to Pierce\, but it wasn’t until 2016 that he reclaimed ownership. Back in 2008 Pierce and his childhood best friend Jacob Graham conceived of a collaboration that was never intended to become what it did. “Jacob and I were writing pop songs. I didn’t think anybody would hear it. I recorded it with broken equipment and guitars that were out of tune.” Pierce put it on MySpace and weeks later interest was lining up. “I scrambled and found the first people I could to turn it into a band.” The runaway train lasted four albums. Pierce never felt he belonged. “Sex\, drugs\, rock’n’roll and hanging with my buds doesn’t resonate with me. I never found community in that\,” he says. “I was so terrified that if I hit the brakes even for a second everything would fall apart. I was trapped with a sound I wasn’t crazy about\, stuck in a culture I didn’t connect with. I’m finally in my mid 30s starting to take care of myself.” \nThe past year has been transformative. “I don’t think I’ll ever really find myself\,” he adds. “I don’t think people do. I don’t think there’s a day that you wake up and you go\, Now I know who I am. The best way for me to be an artist is by taking a goddamn minute\, being still and listening to what it is that I want and need.” It was a real year of growth for him\, but growth towards what? “I don’t really know\, and that’s OK.” \n\n\n\n\n
