The Music Box - A Shantytown Sound Laboratory
Phase One of Dithyrambalina
Creative Director and Curator: Delaney Martin
Associate Curators: Theo Eliezer and Swoon
Musicians Curated by Quintron and Jay Pennington
The Music Box: a shantytown sound laboratory will be reopening to the public on April 14th during the Second Saturday Art Walk of the St. Claude Art’s District. At the opening visitors will have the rare opportunity to explore the conceptual shantytown at night as well as to meet many of the sculptors and sound artists who will be on hand to demonstrate of the shantytown’s singing walls, heartbeat-triggered percussion machine, organ staircase, and weather sensitive oscillators.
The Music Box, which opened in October 2011 to international acclaim, is an interactive installation of purpose-built shacks and miniature houses made out of New Orleans’ beautiful architectural details and plentiful salvaged materials. Each shanty houses an invented instrument created by a sound artist. Last fall Quintron, the musician and local hero, conducted a series of legendary concerts at the shantytown that featured a changing roster of world-class musicians such as Mannie Fresh, Hamid Drake, James Singleton, Dicky Landry, Helen Gillet, Andrew W.K and Jim White.
The Music Box’s free public opening hours will resume on Fridays and Saturdays from April 20th – June 2nd. A final performance by Quintron and the Music Box Orchestra will take place in June. This Spring awakening of The Music Box will be the last chance to visit and hear the ground-breaking installation before it is dismantled in June. This project is being led by New Orleans Airlift and the influential street artist Swoon who is known for her community-driven collaborative endeavors.

Vital Organ
Experience life from a non-human perspective, surrounded by a super-sonic soundscape that responds to your every move. Vital Organ is an interactive multi-media work emphasizing sonic phenomena--an exploration of the lives led by man-made inventions after their designated use has been exhausted. Obsolescence uniquely positions the center of our exhibit--an abandoned chord organ--on an Island of Lost Toys, its memory fading alongside its relevance. Is it possible that an invention truly comes to life when its original purpose has been made obsolete?

Allison Gordin
How can it be expressed, this moment! The erotic glance of a lover, the sadness of loss. Hands say so much, the way a person holds a cigarette; smoke curling into the blackness. At this moment she's so beautiful, but what lies in the shadows? Why does his arm reach into the void? Are hands as expressive as the eyes? I don't know, but I want to explore the idea. Hidden or in the foreground, in the shadows, or staring at you with a million possibilities. Inviting, expressing grief, remorse, or just plain self absorption. The human face and hands are so fascinating to me, compelling and irresistible. |

4 Rooms, Backyard & Performance
Room 1: Ariya Martin
Ariya Martin is excited to be showing a collection from her newest body of work. The photographs on display are from a series of images that began over a year ago in Queens, NY at her grandfather's house shortly before his death at the age of ninety two.
Room 2: Philiipe Landry and Rachel Avena Brown: I and I and I
This new installation is a representation of a dialogue between two strangers, who make things. The two artists began to communicate through the sharing of room two, at The Front. This will be Mrs. Brown’s last exhibition as a Front member, and she is attempting to connect with the community in a way that she has not before. Foot traffic will be directed in order to separate the individuals for a moment before coming in close contact with not only the visual works of art, but the eyes of a stranger.
Room 3: Art Club: We'll Meet You There
Art Club is a triumvirate of female artists from Columbus, Ohio who have been working as a collective since 2009. An Art Club production might be a patriotic picnic, a game of spin the bottle, a roller rink birthday party, or a walk through a haunted forest, with three distinct visions tethered into a conceptual whole. Join Art Club for a night in their traveling caravan.
On the evening of May the Twelfth, Art Club may ask you to give something of yourself for a sweet peek into your destiny. Are you prepared to trade secrets and flesh in a tarot parlor? Will you reveal your deepest desires in return for a mail-order fortune? Will you let yourself be coddled and cared for by your hidden mother? Flirt with decay and plead with preservation as you venture across the threshold into a realm of transition, possibility, and darkness, into a world in which American Magic makes all things possible.
This is a tale of travel, magic, intimacy, and possibility. We’ll meet you there.
Room 4: Dave Greber and Katie Gelfand, Curators: Scapes n' Similes
A new gamechanging collaborative multimedia dream communication.
Backyard: Sculpture by Gregory Price

Greater Tuna
By Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard
Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and animals.
Returning after selling out shows at the Shadowbox last June, and again in Slidell in January!

Amplifying the Voice: Theater as Social Justice
Fringe Festival: May's Pillow Talk and a Shot, "Amplifying the Voice: Theater as Social Justice"
FREE! Everyone— performers, artists, audience, press, and community members—interested in theater or Fringe Fest is welcome.
Facilitated by: Kathy Randels; Guests: Never Fight a Shark in Water's co-creators Gregory Bright and Lara Naughton
From the dawning days of theater, the stage has been used as a platform to expose local, pressing issues. Since 2005, New Orleans, in particular, has seen a new birth of social action-centered performance. This month’s Pillow Talk will explore the methods by which artists and citizens come together to use theater as social tool: to process, to expose and to call to action.
May’s Pillow Talk guests are experts on this issue. Never Fight a Shark in Water is based entirely on the words and recollections of Bright, who served 27 ½ years wrongfully imprisoned for murder. For the 2011 New Orleans Fringe Festival, Gregory Bright performed the piece himself at the NOCCA Institute to standing-room-only houses.
Kathy Randels, the evening’s facilitator, is the founder of ArtSpot Productions. ArtSpot utilizes the theater a social platform through the original, devised productions of the ensemble and through the work of LCIW Drama Club, comprised of inmates at The Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
Fringe Pillow Talk and a Shot is a monthly date for folks to get together, talk theater and simmer up new ideas. Each evening starts with a special topic presented by guest artists and local facilitators. As the evening warms up in the laid-back environment of the Lost Love Lounge, everyone is invited to join in. Click here for more info!

The Green Screen – SCRAPPERS
Please join Press Street for a film screening of SCRAPPERS by Brian Ashby, Ben Kolak, Courtney Prokopas, Aaron Wickenden & Frank Rosaly
Set in Chicago’s labyrinth of alleys, SCRAPPERS is a revealing portrait of Oscar and Otis, two metal scavengers searching for a living with brains, brawn, and battered pickup trucks. Shot in vérité style, the film focuses on work: finding metals, raising children, understanding the city. A close examination of the men’s daily lives raises questions about popular notions of poverty, race-relations, personal self-sufficiency, and urban sustainability. SCRAPPERS tackles the geography of a still-segregated city, the hidden lives of undocumented people, and the far-reaching effects of the 2008 financial collapse. The story is propelled by Chicago musician Frank Rosaly’s percussive score. (90 minutes) There will be a post-film Skype Q+A with the filmmakers.
Doors open at 6:30pm – Screening starts at 7:00pm. Co-presented with the New Orleans Film Society.
“THE GREEN SCREEN” is a monthly environmental film series produced by the Charitable Film Network and The Green Project, and held monthly at The Green Project Warehouse. All films are free and open to the public – so invite your friends!

Come watch Lysistrata and her band of accidental Amazons present their solution to the age old problem of how to make peace.
