Her work often depicts distortions of the human form that seem like oddly familiar creatures. Emily B. Goodale is a Boston-based artist who enjoys portraying the uniqueness of everyday life through simple compositions and a variety of media. Most recently, she has completed a series of portraits using lithography and gouache. Jeff Lloyd, of Northampton, has been taking photographs of people and objects in various locales for the past three years now, but this is his first exhibition of those collected snapshots. "Family Portraits" is meant to be a visual representation of the extended dysfunctional family that surrounds us all, or at least the people Jeff knows. Ketch Wehr is a Canadian-born, New York-based artist, activist, and adventurer. His recent work harnesses the power of wonder and exploration by crafting a fantastic world and personal mythology that is depicted through a number of illustrative media and installations. Ketch enjoys learning about natural history, cephalopods, and radical transfeminist masculinity every day. Cara Wojcik lives in Boston. With a pair of paintings on canvas, she has continued to evoke the symmetrical forms that began in her earlier silkscreen prints.

Alms for the Arts 05.12.21 GalleryTK has been your vibrant community art space since April of 2004, and we have grown tremendously this past year, providing opportunities to all who can participate. As a student resource, TK extends practical, hands-on experience running an art gallery. Volunteers direct or support everything we do, including: curating and installing shows, publicity, bookkeeping, staffing open hours, organizing receptions and other events, fundraising, and grant writing. Many area students benefit from showing their work off-campus, which has sometimes resulted in considerable sales for them. A UMass of Amherst student, whose work had been in two of our shows, recently had his work in an exhibit in Manhattan. One of our current directors, also a student at UMass of Amherst, was hired as the director of a new gallery in Easthampton, due to her experience at TK. Another of our directors, who left us this year after she graduated from Hampshire, took what she had learned and discovered here and opened her own gallery in Boston. Yet another is now very busy, planning and directing the logistical operations of a national fine art shipping and warehousing company based in Easthampton. The gallery brings Div III and other student work to a broader public audience. Additionally, two Hampshire art classes used the space this month for final crits. By volunteering at the gallery, students may receive community service hours or class credit for tailoring an independent study or internship to the needs of the gallery. GalleryTK provides an invaluable experience for any student concentrating on art, students planning on pursuing a career in art, students who want to do business in the arts, or students who want experience working in a non-profit organization. We need donations to stay open, however. Please consider giving to help sustain our efforts. Contributions are tax-deductible. Checks made out to the Trustees of Hampshire College with "gallery fund" written in the memo space will go to us. Also, some swell one-of-a-kind shirts and other cool merch were donated to the gallery for our winter fundraising, so you can still stop by and acquire a local treasure or contribute your own craftwork toward the cause.

Through a timeless melancholy, these songs are a melodic narrative of a troubled past, of repairing oneself, of the desire to change the world by changing oneself. Will Bangs likes to use loops and various electronic and acoustic textures to create heartfelt ambient music, sometimes with lyrics. Dave Pajo's album "Live from a Shark's Cage" was a major influence on his current sound. Seth Elalouf plays electronica and experimental noise. Free to all, but small donations are encouraged.
Tim Feeney and Vic Rawlings 05.11.20 Sunday, November 20th, 7pm Tim Feeney Vic Rawlings The Opera Glove Sinks in the Sea Tumblecat Poof Poofy Poof Heart2Heart Carapace Frame Tim Feeney explores the timbral possibilites inherent in everyday found and built objects. He treats his percussion set-up as a friction instrument, using bows, scrapers, and rosined drumheads as implements and sympathetic resonators to capture and amplify frequencies that go unheard when an object is struck with a mallet. He supplements this with a virtual instrument activated from a laptop, which synthesizes and alters the spectral characteristics of sounds from pure sine tones to speaker pops and white noise. Vic Rawlings plays prepared cello along with electronics. His performances focus on the metamusical potential of unstable sounds and silences, and he has developed instruments that are specific to his compositional aesthetic. He has collaborated with a diverse variety of other musicians and has toured in both the US and France. Gwyneth Merner of The Opera Glove Sinks in the Sea plays Theremin with masterful subtlety and precision over pre-recorded backing loops, creating eerie, emotional soundscapes. Tumblecat Poof Poofy Poof playfully makes music using junk electronics, accordion, and tape decks.

San Francisco Tours Northampton 05.11.05 Saturday, November 5th, 7pm Casiotone for the Painfully Alone Dear Nora Hand-Fed Babies Caution Curves As Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Owen Ashworth uses battery-operated keyboards and electronics to create a hybrid strain of raw, emotional, and very homemade synth pop that is as influenced as much by film and literature as by its more obvious musical counterparts. CFTPA's claustrophobic two-minute character studies shudder with reverbed beats, blown-out chords, and simple-but-infectous melodies layered beneath the sometimes funny but always heartbreaking lyrics of Ashworth's sighing baritone. Dear Nora's Katy Davidson writes soft, short, brainy songs with out-of-tune guitars and vaguely voiced melodies. Beautiful yet wonderfully simple, at the core they are pure pop melody. With Hand-Fed Babies (ex-Black Eyes) and The Caution Curves. Presented by GalleryTK and the Alternative Music Collective of Hampshire College. $5 at door or free with your Hampshire ID.
