SUMMARY:SLO Museum of Art Presents | Faig Ahmed: Collision
DESCRIPTION:The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition of prolific contemporary artist Faig Ahmed. \nFrom his studio in Baku\, Azerbaijan\, Ahmed creates textile works that transcend and transform the history of carpet making in the region. Ahmed is interested in how the contemporary and the traditional collide to create something new that defies genres\, borders\, and even history. Ahmed and his weaving collaborators infuse new breath into the carpet-making practice\, turning his textiles into a rich meeting ground between the new and the old\, the common and the holy\, the rich and the ordinary. \nWorking in collaboration with Nina Levent\, Director of Sapar Contemporary\, the Museum is organizing an exhibition of works that spans Ahmed’s career — while focusing on works primarily made within the past five years — 2016 to 2021. Presenting this work for the first time on the Central Coast of California offers the arts community a unique opportunity to engage meaningfully with a practice and a body of work that has never been exhibited in this region. Complementary programming with local school districts\, guided docent tours\, and a lecture program will accompany the exhibition. The works in this exhibition are loaned from major collections from all over the world. \nAbout the Artist\nFaig Ahmed is a multimedia artist working with textiles\, painting\, video\, and installation. Ahmed is best known for his conceptual works that deconstruct and rearrange fragments of traditional Azerbaijani rugs to create contemporary sculptural forms. His work reimagines ancient crafts and creates new visual languages by disassembling traditional works and stereotypes. Born in Sumqayit\, Azerbaijan\, in 1982 Faig Ahmed went on to graduate from the Sculpture Faculty at the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in Baku in 2004. He represented Azerbaijan in nation’s inaugural pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and participated in the 2013\, “Love Me\, Love Me Not” event. In 2013\, he was nominated for the third edition of the Jameel Prize organized by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. He now lives and works in Baku\, Azerbaijan.

SUMMARY:Speckled Planter Workshop at Next Door with Night Owl Pottery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a beginner Speckled Planter Workshop at Next Door with Night Owl Pottery!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nJoin us for Speckled Planter Workshop at Next Door at Granada Hotel and Bistro! You will learn how to make a Speckled Planter using the slab construction method while sipping on a glass or two of wine! Adriana Lemus and Chad Franco from Night Owl Pottery will guide you through this 2-hour intro to clay workshop. ***7 spaces available*** \nThe $80 fee includes speckled stoneware clay\, all materials to use during the workshop\, instruction by experienced ceramic artists\, and a glass of wine(for 21+)!

They create almost all of their pottery at night—thus\, Night Owl Pottery. Both artists are from the Central Coast and come from artist families. Adriana Lemus studied art at UC Berkeley and has been showing her work on the Central Coast and in the Bay area for the past five years. Chad Franco studied natural building and permaculture design in Santa Cruz\, Texas\, and Portugal\, this led to organizing his own workshops and commission work within the community.

SUMMARY:Taj Mahal Sextet
DESCRIPTION:Taj Mahal Sextet\nSun\, March 6\, 2022\nDOORS 7:00 PM / SHOW 8:00 PM\, ALL AGES  TICKETS \n\n\n\n* This show is rescheduled from June 5\, 2021 Original tickets will be honored. \n♦ BAND INFORMATION ♦ \n“The blues is bigger than most people think\,” Taj Mahal says. “You could hear Mozart play the blues. It might be more like a lament. It might be more melancholy. But I’m going to tell you: the blues is in there.” \nTaj is a towering musical figure — a legend who transcended the blues not by leaving them behind\, but by revealing their magnificent scope to the world. Quantifying the 77-year-old’s significance is impossible\, but people try anyway. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo\, Taj’s collaboration with Keb’ Mo’\, brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations\, and underscored his undiminished relevance more than 50 years after his solo debut. Blues Hall of Fame membership\, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association\, and other honors punctuate his résumé. Taj appreciates the accolades\, but his motivation lies elsewhere. “I just want to be able to make the music that I’m hearing come to me — and that’s what I did\,” Taj says. “When I say\, ‘I did\,’ I’m not coming from the ego. The music comes from somewhere. You’re just the conduit it comes through. You’re there to receive the gift.” \n\n\nVENUE COVID PROTOCOL:\nAll events at the Fremont Theater require:\n– proof of full vaccination or a negative lab test within 72 hours of the event prior to entrance into the venue.\n– Masks must be worn in line and while entering the venue\n– In accordance with San Luis Obispo Health Officer Order #6 All patrons regardless of vaccination status are required to wear face coverings at all times while indoors.

SUMMARY:Chet Faker at the Fremont
DESCRIPTION:Chet Faker\nMon\, March 7\, 2022\nDOORS 7:00 PM / SHOW 8:00 PM\, 18+  TICKETS \n\n\n\n♦ BAND INFORMATION♦\nAt the top of 2020\, after a year of traversing the globe in support of 2019’s Run Fast Sleep Naked\, Nick Murphy began creating music that simply felt good. Though the singer had retired his billion-streaming Chet Faker project four years prior\, the new songs he was working on in his New York City studio had an energy reminiscent of his earlier work. Reviving the project “wasn’t on my radar” at the time\, Murphy admits\, but the next thing he knew\, he had a full album. The result is Hotel Surrender\, a radiant 10-track LP full of swaggering bass lines and electrifying melodies that reintroduces Chet Faker to the world – and to Murphy himself. Like his debut LP\, 2014’s Built on Glass\, Murphy wrote and produced Hotel Surrender solely on his own\, finishing most of the songs before COVID-19 hit in March 2020. Just after the pandemic caused a worldwide shutdown\, Murphy lost his father\, and suddenly the new feel-good music took on an even deeper meaning. “There were a lot of heavy perspective shifters for me\,” he recalls. “I really just thought of the music in a different light. I look at it as a mass therapy now. I think I used to see it as this plight\, like I was on a crusade or this creative odyssey. Now I see that it’s more Shamanistic. You’ve got to find some light—or sometimes dark\, whatever’s right—and share it. I realized that was the heart of the Chet Faker project. And I felt like the world was hurting\, so I thought\, ‘I can do a small something to give people some joy.'” What Murphy also recognized was that he was granting himself joy\, too. He admits that before Hotel Surrender\, he had never approached his process with such ease. This time\, as the album title suggests\, he surrendered to the music. “There was this\, like\, unconsciousness—not thinking\, but just feeling\, letting it come out and letting it steer itself\,” Murphy says. “The great lesson for me was that I could write from a place of joy. I was also just being kind to myself. None of this music was hurting\, it just felt good. It made me feel better\, and it helped me be better.” Ironically\, Murphy’s ability to surrender came from leaving the Chet Faker name behind in 2016. Without giving himself the space to release music under his birth name and explore a deeper side of his musicality (that\, as he puts it\, “went into the depths of the darkness”)\, Murphy declares Hotel Surrender “never could have happened.” Even more ironically\, he says that his namesake material “kind of represented this anti-me.” “Chet Faker I’d only known as long as all these other people had known\, and they all had these ideas about what it was\,” Murphy asserts. “I just needed to kind of let loose. And I’m glad I did\, because it allowed me to contextualize the Chet Faker project. It allowed me to expand and learn so many new things without having to deal with resistance based on what I built already with Chet.” Most importantly\, “It got me really excited to make music again.” It’s easy to hear Murphy’s newfound bliss on Hotel Surrender. The anthemic lead single\, “Low\,” features thumping beats and soaring vocals so infectious that even Murphy himself can’t help dancing. (“My butt starts to wiggle the second it comes on\,” he quips.) A spirited vibe carries throughout the record\, whether it’s in the funky piano grooves of “Get High\,” the stimulating melodies of “Feel Good\,” or the awe-inspiring instrumentation of “So Long So Lonely.” With both Nick Murphy and Chet Faker living in tandem\, Murphy suggests that he’s feeling a bit of a “ping-pong effect” for his next release. “Now that I’ve done a Chet thing\, I feel like I want to do another NM thing\,” he says. “But there’s a liquidity to it\, and that has really allowed me to feel free with what I’m doing. I’m proud of this reputation I’ve got of being kind of inconsistent\, in a way.” While he’s uncertain of what the future holds\, for now\, Murphy is excited to bring Chet Faker back. Above all\, he’s happy to be\, well\, happy. “I think I’ve always been a feel-good kind of person\, but I was self-conscious of it because I was aware that I could be judged for that\,” he admits. “Cheesy or whatever be damned\, I just don’t care anymore. If someone thinks it’s lame\, I feel bad for them. Because I know how good it can feel if you just let go.” He adds\, “To write truly happy music\, you’ve got to really get to know your own sadness. And that’s the work that got me here. I’ve had enough of the misery.” \n\n\nVENUE COVID PROTOCOL:\nAll events at the Fremont Theater require:\n– proof of full vaccination or a negative lab test within 72 hours of the event prior to entrance into the venue.\n– Masks must be worn in line and while entering the venue\n– In accordance with San Luis Obispo Health Officer Order #6 All patrons regardless of vaccination status are required to wear face coverings at all times while indoors.\n** These guidelines are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Imprinted: Printmaking and Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:The act of printmaking itself is intimate\, from the laborious processes such as woodcarving\, acid etching\, and meticulous ink application\, to the revealing of an image from a plate. These processes too are experimental and infinitely varied\, with no two printmakers working in quite the same way. Similarly\, portraiture has an individualistic\, intimate\, and vulnerable nature to it — whether it be sitting for a portrait\, allowing another to capture your image\, or putting your own self-image into the world for others to see.

Rosing – Ma Kelly \nJohn St.  Polis – Pa Kelly \nEdward Martindel – Winthrop Peabody Sr. \nLouis Natheaux – Jimmy Alexander \nEddie Clayton – Tim \nLincoln Stedman – Jerry \nCollette Merton – Julie \nDixie Carter – Susie \nSynopsis: \nPeabody Jr. (Neil Hamilton) and his friends prepare to frolic into the night before he must begin work the following day at his father’s department store.  Before departing\, Peabody Sr. (Edward Martindale) lectures his son about the women of the day and that all the “cuties” at the store are off-limits. \nIn the meantime\, Pert Kelly (Colleen Moore)\, after winning a dance contest is being wooed by gentlemen of questionable character.  All parties end up having a wild time at “The Boiler” where Pert catches the eye of Peabody Jr.\, who gives her a ride home and schedules a date for the following night.  Pert is tardy to work as she was up until 3:00 and must report to the personnel office where she is surprised to find Peabody Jr. working.  Peabody Sr. is there\, figures out what’s going on\, and terminates Pert’s employment. \nPeabody Jr. must wait several hours past the scheduled date before he can talk to Pert and explain he did not do the firing.  They schedule another date.  Lavish gifts arrive for Pert to wear to the next date.  She gets lectured by Pa Kelly (John St.  Polis) about the lack of virtues of the “modern” man.  Similarly\, Peabody Jr. is again lectured about the “modern” woman by Peabody Sr. \nOn the next date\, Peabody Jr. has devised a test of Pert’s virtue.   When he tries to push her past her personal limits\, she protests\, in the process passing his test with ease.  They are married that night\, and they arrive back home to prove her virtue to Peabody Sr. who now cannot refute it. \nColleen Moore \nColleen Moore was an American film actress who began her career during the silent film era.  A huge star in her day\, Moore became one of the most fashionable (and highly-paid) stars of the era and helped popularize the bobbed haircut. \nApproximately half of Moore’s films are now considered lost\, including her first talking picture from 1929.  What was perhaps her most celebrated film\, Flaming Youth (1923)\, is now mostly lost as well\, with only one reel surviving. \nMoore took a brief hiatus from acting between 1929 and 1933\, just as sound was being added to motion pictures.  After the hiatus\, her four sound pictures released in 1933 and 1934 were not financial successes.  Moore then retired permanently from screen acting and ultimately spent her later years living on the Central Coast in northern San Luis Obispo County. \nAfter her film career\, Moore maintained her wealth through astute investments\, becoming a partner at Merrill Lynch.  She later wrote a “how-to” book about investing in the stock market. \nMoore succumbed to cancer on January 25\, 1988 (aged 88) in Paso Robles\, California. \nChristian Elliott \nChristian Elliott is one of today’s premier theatre organists who specializes in presenting historically authentic silent film accompaniment.  The protégé of legendary silent film organist Gaylord Carter\, he was fortunate to have had the tradition of silent film accompaniment passed down to him from one of the foremost film accompaniments of the silent film era. \nHe has done extensive silent film accompaniment\, including at the Packard Foundation’s Stanford Theatre (Palo Alto\, California)\, UCLA\, the Cinequest and San Francisco Silent Film Festivals\, San Luis Obispo International Film Festival\, as well as the San Diego Symphony\, Los Angeles Conservancy\, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.  He has been scoring and presenting silent films for the Seattle Paramount Theatre’s popular silent film series since 2015. \nAs a solo artist\, he has recordings available on iTunes and CDBaby.com and performs silent film presentations all across the United States.  He was named “Organist of the Year” by the American Theatre Organ Society in 2009. \nA classically trained organist\, Christian graduated with honors from Vanguard University of Southern California with degrees in Music and Business Administration.  He moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1980s to become Senior Organist for Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and study with celebrated organist and composer Richard Purvis. \nIn addition to his classical and church organ training\, he was privileged to be mentored by world-renowned theatre organists Lloyd G.  Del Castillo\, Gordon Kibbee\, and Lyn Larsen.  Being particularly identified for his association with organist Gaylord Carter\, the ‘dean’ of silent film accompaniment\, Christian worked extensively with Mr.  Carter\, who proudly claimed Christian as his protégé.  In 1995 at Carter’s gala 90th birthday celebration and farewell performance at Oakland’s Paramount Theatre\, Christian and Gaylord shared the stage in a moving performance that garnered several standing ovations.  Excerpts from this event were featured in the documentary “Pulling Out All the Stops: The Pipe Organ in America” seen on PBS television stations. \nWhy Be A Silent Film Accompanist? \nChristian Elliott has spent over thirty years honing his craft as a solo film accompanist\, extending the nearly lost art of providing silent films with period-accurate music using either the original scores issued with the films or historic photoplay assemblages prepared according to historical industry practice that is performed in a carefully researched style and fully rehearsed professional manner.  Elliott brings these exciting revival scorings to Cal Poly’s Forbes Pipe Organ\, recreating the accompanying sounds heard by audiences when these films were first shown in the 1920s. \nThe experience of watching a silent film today is enhanced when the accompanist reproduces to the greatest extent possible the style of accompaniment that the film would have received in its day by the best cinema musicians.  A film that was released in 1927\, for instance\, deserves to have a musical accompaniment that is performed in the same style as a fine cinema pianist or organist would have given it in 1927.  This means that all the music used in compiling the score will have been published prior to 1927.  All score playing is in the context of the picture.  One does not use progressive ‘50s jazz or exaggerated modern percussion rhythms for a ‘20s picture if he has any respect for his art.  It is best remembered that we work with a powerful and historically important medium\, even if it is dated\, every time we attempt to score a film. \nThis approach honors the film and demonstrates respect for the era during which the film was produced.  This approach enables modern audiences to imagine they have been transported back in time.  Thus\, not only can they enjoy the film on its own merits\, but they can experience the added richness of a live musical re-creation. \nElliott finds accompanying silent films to be very satisfying musically because the music is so key to the experience.  Watching a silent film is a collaborative experience for viewers and musician.  It’s a fun musical tightrope as the musician expresses his own creativity while still supporting the narrative and emotional structure of a film and presenting an art form that is still relevant to audiences of today. \nFor the first thirty or so years of cinema’s existence as a medium\, virtually all films were accompanied by musicians.  From a strictly musical point of view\, the trend towards a complex and sensitive approach to film accompaniment was\, not surprisingly\, a gradual\, evolutionary process.   Because silent films lack dialogue or other sounds\, the musical score is critical to the experience of watching the movie.  In fact\, in the heyday of flashy urban movie palaces\, the accompanists were sometimes billed above the film\, and audiences opted to see a movie accompanied by one particular musician over another.  Try watching a public domain print of a silent movie with an arbitrary and irrelevant piece of music tacked on\, and you’ll immediately understand the importance of the score. \nA successful\, hist
