The Telepathy Drawings @ MICA

The Telepathy Drawings
January 27 - March 10
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 28 from 5 - 7pm
Pinkard Gallery of Bunting Center
MICA

In 2005, adjunct photography faculty John Morris '01 (M.F.A. Photography and Digital Imaging) and Christina Ayala '00 (Mount Royal School of Art) began telepathy drawings by transmitting and recording telepathic messages.

"The artistic collaboration is formed through a system of belief while working through the telepathic process," Morris said.

Each session lasts seven minutes, while Morris transmits a singular thought to Ayala. During the transmission, Ayala receives and transcribes the message through drawing, and Morris photographs the complete session with a large format camera. This image stands along with the drawing as a document of the collaboration.

"The project explores and confronts the junction of meaning, belief and collaborative nature in art making and viewing," Morris said. "The exhibition visitors, who develop their own criteria for the project's success, can examine and scrutinize the resulted, recorded messages and their subsequent meanings. This humorous critique of the process, as well as the implications for viewing art, makes the project so much fun to participate in, and think about."

In addition to the artists' own presented works in the exhibition, Morris and Ayala will install a Telepathy Station, inviting gallery visitors to create their own telepathic drawings.

MICA's galleries, which are free and open to the public, are open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. They are closed on major holidays.

A Romantic Evening With! @ the 14th Karat Cabaret

A Romantic Evening With!
at The 14 Karat Cabaret
218 West Saratoga St
9pm


A touching night of songs and stories about "love" (by love we mean sickness, by sickness we mean true love).

Our love-studded bill features Ric Royer, The Creepers, Virgina and Jared, Milana Braslavsky, and someone else!
PLUS: A Kissing Booth sponsored by Chipotle (The Chipotle Kissing Booth)!

This is part of "The LOS/t series": events that were supposed to be at The LOF/t but had to be moved because of non-romantic reasons.

$6 at the door, or $5 for lovers.

[ps, this evening will be dedicated to David Franks, who will forever be one of Baltimore's greatest prankster, poets, and romantics. David died last week of natural causes at the age of 61. I will read some of David's work, like "Love is making me sick", at this event. For more about DF]

COLLINSPORT @ 2640 tonight

Geodesic Gnome presents
COLLINSPORT



Friday, January 15, 2010
8:00pm - 11:00pm 2640 Space 2640 St. Paul Street Baltimore, MD

Don't miss this major event! John Berndt, Stephanie Barber, Ric Royer and Connor Kizer's COLLINSPORT is an inquiry into the structural anomalies of Dark Shadows (1966-1971), the American gothic-occult soap-opera famous for its unstable cast, momentum-less plot, and unusually over-elaborate dialog.

In this multimedia production of COLLINSPORT performed by Geodesic Gnome, all these elements and more are made to spin faster and faster in a test-tube until a precipitate of pure, undiluted reason drops onto the floor and shatters along with the known universe. Carved from the molten ice of popular-culture-as-psychedelic-logical-modality, the piece is a direct expression of your greatest fears about misunderstanding, enthused lethargy, and, well, vampires. Add to this the obscure theory of 'paradox paradoxes' which threatens to consume all of semantics and what have you got?

A ROLLICKING GOOD TIME HAD BY ALL, THAT'S WHAT.

With the immortal talents of:

Connor Kizer
Stephanie Barber
Lexie Mountain
Peter Blasser
John Eaton
Samuel Burt
Ric Royer
Sarah El Jallad
John Berndt
Mike Muniak
Melissa Moore
Peter Blasser
Kate Porter
Liz Meredith

Geodesic Gnome is Baltimore's meta-conceptual super-group, performing boundary-defying philosophy and paradoxes-as-structure, lead by John Berndt. In this case the group is joined by Baltimore geniuses Connor Kizer and Stephanie Barber for this unique tribute to the Dark Shadows of Dark Shadows.
