Dear Fellow Travelers,
You are cordially invited to an art exhibit entitled "Peripheral Vision," featuring the photography of The Autumns drummer Steve Elkins. The opening reception is Friday, July 31, from 7-11 pm, at Hibbleton Gallery in Fullerton, California. This event is free, (so is the wine and cheese awaiting you) and there will be an after party next door at Mulberry Street.
The purpose of this exhibit is to raise money for the completion of Elkins' debut feature length documentary film, scheduled for release this fall (currently untitled). This exhibition will feature selected 35mm photographs Elkins shot during production, in locations ranging from Alaska to Australia, and New Mexico to Slovakia. All proceeds from purchased photographs will be used to cover expenses required to complete the film. Selected sequences from the film will be shown.
The film, which explores the lives of individuals from different parts of the world using music for wildly unorthodox investigations, features Miya Masaoka, a Japanese koto player using music to interact with plants and insects; Jon Rose, the world's first virtuoso fence player, who has traveled the world to make music from fences in conflict zones ranging from the Australian outback to Israel; John Luther Adams, an ecologist using music to study weather patterns, earthquakes, and activity of the aurora borealis in Alaska; and Bob Ostertag, who explores socio-political issues through processes as diverse as transcribing riots into string quartets, and creating live cinema with garbage.
Ultimately, the film explores music, through the lives of these four individuals, not as a form of entertainment, career, or even self-expression, but as a tool to develop more deeply meaningful relationships with the people and circumstances around them. It is a film that investigates that active ingredient in music, and people, that has the mysterious power to gnaw at the roots of our shortcomings, and speak to the best of what we are. A film that puts a microscope on the many colors of communion.
Two brief teasers for the film can be viewed at Smugmug. This exhibit runs through August 2.
Hope to see you there!
Love,
The Autumns &
Hibbleton Gallery
