SUMMARY:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays: jhon stronks & Tek Wilson
DESCRIPTION:jhon stronks and Tek Wilson\, members of the DiverseWorks Artist Board\, reveal their unique artistic processes and how they navigate performing on the stage\, in the gallery\, and in unexpected public spaces. \nSponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico USA. \njhon stronks is a dance maker whose passion for giving addresses the gaps between what is perceived and what is present\, landing his work somewhere between a cry for personal consciousness and a plea for social justice. Stronks’ choreography combines the fundamental elements of composition and choreography with a convergence of movement styles and techniques drawn from his personal foundation. Stronks’ alternative dance-making systems result is the creation of an open space for movement to inhabit\, where the context is clear\, the eye has choices\, and the viewer gets to decide. \nTek Wilson is a theater artist based in Houston. As an actor\, she has worked with Main Street Theatre\, Catastrophic Theater\, Infernal Bridegroom Productions\, Celebration Theatre\, Theater Lab\, Bobbindoctrin Puppet Theatre and others. In 2013\, Wilson performed in Heather and Ivan Morison’s exhibition and performance Slyk Chaynjis at DiverseWorks. In 2014\, the Morison’s invited Wilson to Germany to star in their piece All’s Well That Ends. Currently\, Wilson is collaborating on the development and production of Alva Hascall’s script Winifred\, based on the life and experiences of Winifred Wagner. An early version of Winifred was staged at DiverseWorks in April 2014. Wilson is also serving as the editor of Robert Ellerman’s book about Stanislavsky’s and Strasberg’s work on the evolution of the System and the Method.

SUMMARY:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays: Qfest Pre-Party & Preview
DESCRIPTION:Qfest Artistic Director Kristian Salinas and Festival Administrator Stephanie Saint Sanchez will present a preview of this year’s wide array of festival offerings. Qfest opens Thursday\, July 23 and runs through Monday\, July 27. Click here for the full schedule and more information. \nDiverseWorks on Wednesdays is sponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico USA. \nAbout Qfest\nQFest is dedicated to promoting the arts as a powerful tool for communication and cooperation among diverse communities by presenting programs by\, about\, and of interest to the gay\, lesbian\, bisexual\, transgender and queer community. \nQFest is a sponsored project of The Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP)\, a 501c3 dedicated to promoting the creation and appreciation of film\, video\, and new media as art forms of a multicultural community. \nThe story of QFest begins in 1996\, when a group of maverick arts organizations collaborated and created The First Annual Houston Gay and Lesbian Film Festival\, better known as The HGLFF. Inaugurated by Loris Bradley of DiverseWorks\, Liz Empleton of Rice Cinema\, Sarah Gish of Landmark Theatres\, and Marian Luntz of The Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, The HGLFF would soon grow to include Steve Buck of The Angelika Film Center and Andrea Grover of The Aurora Picture Show. In its early years as a multi-venue annual event\, The Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP) served as the festival’s non-profit fiscal sponsor. The first co-presidents of the HGLFF were Gudrun Klein and Andrew Edmonson\, followed by Margaret Zigman and Ernie Manouse. In 2005\, Margaret Zigman became the festival’s President. \nIn 2006\, the festival’s tenth anniversary\, under then-Board President Sixto Wagan\, Rob Arcos\, formerly of Landmark Theatres\, was named Festival Director and Kristian Salinas was named Program Director. Now charged with creating its own program\, the festival condensed its previous two week run into a five-day weekend. In 2007\, led by new Executive Director Kristian Salinas\, The HGLFF’s 11th year launched with a new name – QFest. \nEntering its 19th year\, QFest returns to its roots\, once again engaging The Southwest Alternate Media Project as its Fiscal Sponsor. Sharing philosophies and missions\, SWAMP and QFest mutually benefit one another through their partnership\, and as a result\, positively impact the cultural landscape of the Greater Houston Area.

SUMMARY:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays: Jason Salavon
DESCRIPTION:  \nan artist talk about making art through the lenses of data\, computation\, and the history of painting \nUsing software processes of his own design\, Jason Salavon generates and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied\, his projects frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in diverse visual populations. This often unearths unexpected pattern as the relationship between the part and the whole\, the individual and the group\, is explored. Reflecting a natural attraction to popular culture and the day-to-day\, his work regularly incorporates the use of common references and source material. The final compositions are exhibited as art objects\, such as photographic prints and video installations\, while others exist in a real-time software context. \nBased in Chicago\, Salavon returns to Houston to unveil a new private commission titled “The Master Index (v.Wade)”\, which is an organized list of the 5 million most visited English language Wikipedia articles from 2007 to 2013. \nSalavon was raised in Texas and earned his MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA from The University of Texas at Austin. He has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions at the Taubman Museum\, Roanoke\, VA; the Columbus Museum of Art; and the List Visual Arts Center\, MIT\, Cambridge\, MA. His work is included in public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Whitney Museum of Art\, and the Art Institute of Chicago\, among many others. Previously\, he taught at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was employed for numerous years as an artist and programmer in the video game industry. Currently he is an associate professor in the Department of Visual Arts and the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:DWOW Presents: Talkin' Slick with THE HUE
DESCRIPTION:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays (DWOW):\nCome and meet the members of THE HUE\, as they present behind the scenes knowledge of their process and journeys. Members will talk about their hit single “Slick” and the visual campaign behind it; and will also speak on the future of The HUE and what it means for Space City. \nModerated by Robert Hodge (DiverseWorks Artist Board member) with Special Guests Nathaniel Donnett and and Damien Randle \nFREE\nSponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico \nTHE HUE:\nWhat happens when you bring together a space hop juggernaut with a spacey electro-soul outfit? THE HUE collective\, hailing from Space City\, is the aftermath of combining the critically acclaimed groups H.I.S.D. (Hueston Independent Spit District) with their cosmic kinsmen and rising sensation Radio Galaxy. Their mission is to explore the creation of music with no boundaries. \nConceived in 2013\, this futurist soul hybrid consists of songstress/femcee Spacebunny Jefferson\, emcees Scottie Spitten\, Equality\, and Savvi\, along with producers King Midas and DJ Cozmos. \nComing off of stellar projects\, H.I.S.D.’s ‘The Weakend’ and Radio Galaxy’s ‘We Come in Peace’\, the aptly titled collaborative sequal\, ‘Aurora’ marks a new beginning in the ongoing mission to end the weak and space up the world through sound and color. What’s your hue?

DESCRIPTION:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays returns this week with two great events:Screening: Keren Cytter’s Rose Garden\, 2014 Digital HD video\, color/sound 8:57 minA tragic story takes place in a Texan bar. Its drastic course and the lightness of the composition oppose each other contrapuntally. A virtually musical arrangement is formed by the repetitive employment of various elements (theme music\, changing atmospheres\, rifle shots). The therein presented\, almost emotionless\, acceptance of death is contrasted by the narrative of a father speaking to his son. Rose Garden explicitly criticizes the bigot mixture of family values\, American gun laws\, and societal behavioral patterns in general. \nRose Garden was shot in Houston and features an all-star Houston cast including Winch Eagleton\, Sara Gaston\, Chris Hutchison\, OTIS IKE\, Nick Meriwether\, Emily Peacock\, John Grmillian\, Wayne Gilbert\, and Jim Hatchett. \nDirected by Keren Cytter; Produced by Ivete Lucas; Special Effects by Jack Burn; and Weapons by Pat Henderson. \n________________________ \nPecha Kucha with Luck of the Draw Artists:\nJune Woest\nEarl Staley\nPenny Cerling\nFrank Sherwood White\nEva Maria Lourdes Martinez\nRosine Kouamen\nHiyme Brummett\nKay Sarver \nEach artist will show images and talk about their work in a fast-paced\, fun environment. \n________________________ \nDiverseWorks on Wednesdays is sponsored in part by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico USA. \nFREE \nImage Credit: “Rose Garden” still\, OTIS IKE

SUMMARY:DiverseWorks on Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Fig Pudding Performs\norganized by Regina Agu and Sandy Ewen \nFig Pudding will perform a series of original scores written by Regina Agu\, Carol Sandin Cooley\, Megan Easley\, Sandy Ewen\, Gabriel Martinez\, Rebecca Novak\, Rachel Orosco\, Carrie Schneider\, Ronnie Yates\, and Hanna Yoo. \nFig Pudding is the current iteration of an evolving music and performance ensemble that performs improvisation\, graphic scores\, performance pieces\, and occasionally more traditional forms of composition. Sandy Ewen founded the all-female group in 2009 as a way to capitalize on the under-utilized resource of creative women in experimental music. The group has changed its name to a different fruit flavor for every performance. Memorable performances include: the Pawpaw Pomelo show atop the Mekong Plaza on July 4\, 2010\, wherein the band accompanied live fireworks with an amplified vocal performance; the Pina Colada show at NMAS in Austin\, Texas wherein the band collaborated  with video artist Rebecca Carlisle-Healy; the Durian Durian show at the Menil Collection\, which showcased site-specific performance pieces; and the Gooseberry Marmalade show at 14 Pews in Houston wherein the band performed Scratch Orchestra pieces in collaboration with Keith Rowe. The group has a CDr release\, but all the copies have gone missing. The CDr was fondly referred to as the “touchy-feely” album because of the fake fur that was glued on the covers. \nRegina Agu is an interdisciplinary artist and has performed with Fig Pudding since 2012. Agu was born in Houston and raised in transit throughout Africa and Europe. She is a graduate of Cornell University. Agu’s work has been included in exhibitions\, public readings\, and performances at New Museum\, labotanica\, Project Row Houses\, University Museum at Texas Southern University\, Box 13\, and Lawndale Arts Center\, among other venues. She is a 2012 Houston Arts Alliance Individual Artist Grant recipient and a 2014 The Idea Fund grantee. Agu is a current member of the DiverseWorks Artist Board. \nSandy Ewen plays electric guitar. Born in Toronto\, Canada in 1985\, Ewen received a Bachelor of Architecture from The University of Texas at Austin in 2008. Since then she has resided in Houston\, TX where she pursues her musical and visual projects and her architecture license. Ewen has performed music throughout North America as a collaborative improviser and member of the Weird Weeds. Lately\, Ewen has been focusing on her visual art\, frequently presenting it alongside experimental music. \nDiverseWorks on Wednesdays is supported in part by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico USA. \n  \n

Dedicated to Joe McPhee and Arthur Doyle (June 26\, 1944 – January 25\, 2014)\n\nIn January of 1998\, DiverseWorks presented a concert featuring two major veterans of jazz’s radical avant-garde\, Joe McPhee and Arthur Doyle. The concert was curated by then-artist board member David Dove. In addition to the performance\, McPhee and Doyle gave workshops for the kids in Dove’s improvisation ensemble at MECA. The residency would plant the seed for what would become Pauline Oliveros Foundation Houston (POF Houston)\, founded and directed by Dove. POF Houston would eventually become Nameless Sound. To celebrate this history and remember this event\, Dove will perform selections from that evening in honor of Joe McPhee and Arthur Doyle (who passed away on January 25 of this year). \nIMAGE: David Jordan.

DESCRIPTION:Screening of Melissa Dubbin and Aaron S. Davidson’s Sound Designs for Future Films \n \nPerformance: Critical Mass\nA suite of solos performed on a stage of lights developed by artist Ronny Quevedo\nPerformers: Stephen Araujo\, Lisa E. Harris\, Autumn Knight and Jesus Romero \nSound Design for Future Films inverts the hierarchy and workflow of typical film production\, starting with a two-and-a-half minute sound design for a scene in a film that doesn’t exist. Dubbin and Davidson began with the narrative aural details necessary to construct a scene\, sounds that describe activities within an environment\, sounds that are not dialogue or music. These sounds are drawn from sound libraries and are composed to propose an oblique-narrative. \nThe sound design serves as the primary source material in a collaboration with other artists. They gave this scene to 20 different artists to create the image component. Each artist was given complete control concerning their visual contribution\, Dubbin and Davidson only asked that the audio remain unaltered. \n  \n
