UPCOMING FIXINS SHOW: OPEN CALL FOR VISUAL ARTISTS.

| The 22 Magazine

Part potluck, part sing along, part performance, and part puppetry this Fixins show is a combination of some amazing talent from Virginia, Michigan and New York alike. We are so pleased to combine the forces of Anna Roberts-Gevalt, Elizabeth LaPrelle, Katherine Fahey and Andru Bemis for an amazing night of performance, good food and collaboration.

Katherine Fahey, an artist and musician from Baltimore, is best known for her screen printing and paper cut work, and collaborative shadow puppetry, while Anna Roberts-Gevalt, is a New England native who moved south to study to immerse herself in Appalachian music, was a grant-recipient for her research of female fiddlers at Berea College, and has studied with master Kentucky fiddlers Bruce Greene, John Harrod and Paul David Smith. Elizabeth LaPrelle is an acclaimed ballad singer, and has released three solo albums and has appeared on Prairie Home Companion; she grew up singing with her family, and has since learned from many Appalachian ballad singers, including Sheila Kay Adams and Ginny Hawker. Andru Bemis is a folk singer from Michigan and travels the steel rails with a devoted following from NY to Mexico.

Anna, Elizabeth and Katherine will be presenting shadow puppetry, along with their “crankie” (a hand quilted, hand cranked puppet show) as well as singing, teaching a shadow puppet workshop and even teaching a little bit of square dancing!

This is going to be one heck of a show and we are currently looking for artists to participate  on April 26th at Vaudeville Park! We are particularly looking for artists whose work deals with traditional or folks arts (fiber, natural materials, etc) and puppetry. We are also possibly looking for other puppetry groups to perform depending on space. Read more about the show below. Submission deadline is APRIL 10th.

The 22 V 2/II SIGN & SYMBOL ONLINE NOW!

| The 22 Magazine

It is with no small amount of honor that we present the contributors of Vol 2/II: Sign & Symbol. These works are potent and it is with great awe, wonder, shock, respect, and pride that we raise The 22’s banner to pay tribute.

The contributors in Volume 2/II display an uncanny ability to manipulate context. Artists, writers, and musicians often stand at the forefront of cultural change, reflecting visions and revisions of our shared history. The contributors in this volume prove that icons come in many shapes, sizes, and media. At The 22, it is not our job to decide which is more correct, but instead to showcase a spectrum of interpretations. From the brash innuendos of Alexander Barton, the subtle humor of Captain Panda Pants, the visceral statements of Kikuko Tanaka, the humorous apocalypses of Marcus Kenny, the bold words of Nancy Flynn, the pressing urgency of Robert Kulesz, the enduring marks of David Bailin, the mementos and monuments of Kyle Coffin and Joseph Leroux, the clockwork perfection of Emily Ginsburg, the quiet intensity of Edwin Rostron, Mario Kolaric and Thera Webb, the humanity of Jonathan Wood Vincent, the minimalist seduction of James Gallagher, the perfected symbols and sounds of Yuko Otomo and Steve Dalachinksy, the strange surrealities of Derek Larson, the gut-wrecking prose of Ventral is Golden and Damien Knightley, the unabashed beauty of Robert Lucy, to the professed arbitrariness of Colin Oulighan, this volume covers the gamut of symbology and speaks to the underlying notion that we all are highly aware of our public and personal icons-whatever they may be.

Thank you to each and every person who made this volume possible including our generous fundraiser contributors.

~Cat Gilbert, Editor and Publisher

More about our fundraiser:

The 22 is an online magazine that focuses on the fusion of art, music and literature as a symphonic whole. Whether the din is delightfully in tune or charmingly askew, this project is about giving artists, writers and musicians a voice through careful curation of contributors whose work speaks to the many and the few. We thrive on sparking new dialogue. On mixing strange brews. On the abundant, the heady, the experimental, the unknown and the razor’s edge. The 22 features professional and emerging artists, writers and musicians from around the world and the first volume culminated in a group show comprised of music, art and readings, with a salon dynamic. The positive response to our first volume was overwhelming and Vol II promises to bring some of the boldest work yet. (READ MORE.)
