<br />
An area of the city loosely falling between Fayette Street, Greene
Street, Pratt Street and Hanover Street, it was in the Garment
District where umbrellas were first manufactured in the US and the
second largest men’s clothing factories in the world once operated. The
city’s
labor movement and many of its early union struggles happened here as
well. <br />
<br />
The rise and decline of the
Garment District as a flourishing industrial center for Baltimore’s
manufactured products, as well as the people who worked and struggled to
maintain their livelihoods through the decades, speak to events and societal
practices that are not alien to our own time and highlight the finite nature of
our society’s industries in general. <br />
<br />
The site of the exhibition,
EMP, sits in the Faust
Building. Located in the
heart of the Garment District, the building was once a wholesale boot and shoe
business, and through time leased space to clothing firms, dry goods
wholesalers, and merchants of men’s furnishings. <br />

ABOUT EMP COLLECTIVE <br />
<br />
Founded in 2010, EMP
Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and
producing multi-media events by collaborating with artists from all
backgrounds, across disciplines. EMP Collective hopes to nourish emerging
artists with its new incubator space (creatively named EMP) at 306 W Redwood Street,
in the forgotten Loft District of Baltimore. This multi-use arts venue is
comprised of a rotating art gallery for developing artists that doubles as a
rehearsal / performance space for theatrical and musical events, experimental
collaboration, workshops, and film screenings. Around the corner from the
Hippodrome, right off of the Baltimore St/University Center Light Rail stop,
EMP hopes to be part of the revitalization of a neighborhood just blocks away
from the Inner Harbor
and Mount Vernon.

A New show of paintings by Rotating History Project co-founder Teddy Johnson.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The paintings making up the series What I May Have seen on Routes 70 and 340 are
meditations on highway 70 and 340, specifically the section of these
two highways running west from Baltimore, through West Virginia, into
northwest Virginia.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The
paintings feature personal interpretations I have made of the landscape
based on traveling along these highways, juxtaposed with
reinterpretations of figure drawings by 19<sup>th</sup> century Harper's illustrator, writer, and journalist, David Hunter Strother, better known by his pen name Porte Crayon. Extracted</span><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">
out of their original and sometimes problematic contexts more than
150 years later, many of the figures represented in these works are
within an hour's drive of where they were originally drawn. </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span></i><br />
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<i><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">
The time in which Strother worked was a time of significant upheaval in
America. The 10 years before the Civil War were the peak of Strother's
career as an artist. He later was a Union Officer in the Shenandoah
Valley and, given his muddy political views and his alliance to the
Union over his state of Virginia, was on both sides of the conflict.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">His
work for Harper's and archived, sketchbooks, many of which are dated
with location, document hundreds of people throughout the region of all
classes and races at a time before convenient and widespread
photography.</span><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> Though his body of work is a detailed attempt to document the people of the area it is also a product of it's time and place. </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span></i></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<i><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">
This show is meant to share a conversation I’ve had with myself over a

For us, history does not begin and end on a page. It moves all around us; alive wherever we may turn our head next. It's a tool for informing our present and future. Although our mediums are the arts, we see our target audience as the larger community, far beyond the scope of art patrons and practitioners. The Rotating History Project was founded by Baltimore based artists Heather Rounds and Teddy Johnson, who work in collaboration with a variety of individuals, specific to the themes of each event. Their first project was The Child Ballads Show in September 2010.</span><span></span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span>For event parking directions and additional information:</span><a href="http://rotatinghistory.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0023E3;text-decoration:none"> http://rotatinghistory.<wbr>blogspot.com/</span></a><span></span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span> </span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><i><span style="text-transform:uppercase">Vision</span></i><i><span></span></i></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span>Falls Road Studios </span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span>2981 Falls Road, across the street from The GSpot Gallery.</span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span style="text-transform:uppercase"> </span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span>This exhibit organized by Jeremy Crawford and Adam Estes, which opened during ScapeScape, showcases some of Baltimore's best visual artists who work in diverse styles of portraiture and figurative painting.</span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span> </span></p> <p style="text-autospace:none"><span> </span></p> <p><span>Artists include Molly McNulty, Erin Fitzpatrick, Lauren McCallin, Teddy Johnson, Shaun Preston, James Swainbank, Greg McLemore, Justin Wainio, Jordan Kasey, Stefan Wayz, Melody Often and Jason Hoylman</span></p>Rotating History Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09448356015430522229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744654353242938278.post-2434741186782236892011-05-26T18:40:00.000-07:002011-05-26T19:11:25.224-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-645xgX1BESs/Td8CA03JSjI/AAAAAAAAAKc/KE2hsrz6vsI/s1600/211093_210622408962196_3273503_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 380px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-645xgX1BESs/Td8CA03JSjI/AAAAAAAAAKc/KE2hsrz6vsI/s400/211093_210622408962196_3273503_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611205873940122162" border="0" /></a><br /><span> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Same River Twice will be on view at Sunday's event Scapescape at the G-Spot, Ruintown and Falls Road Studios.</span><br /><br /></span></span><h6 style="font-family: georgia; font-weight: normal;" class="uiStreamMessage" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="messageBody">The visual art on view this weekend in the Same River Twice portion of Scapescape in the G-Spot gallery includes work by: Lauren Boilini, Elizabeth Crisman, Eberhard Froehlich, Katie Heater, Teddy Johnson, Magnolia Laurie, Cheyenne Seeley, Dave Snead, Renee Tantillo, Paul Taylor, Dominic Terlizzi, Chad Tyler, Adam Void, Amanda Wren W<span class="text_exposed_show">agstaff, Joseph Young.

Their songs reflect lives lived in the shadow of the Appalachian Mountains and pulled by Chesapeake Bay tides; nestled at the top of the south and the bottom of the north. The five members, formerly known as The Middle East, use simple string and found instruments to create timeless songs that sound as comfortable plucked from a mountain porch as a city street corner. The band makes no claim to have lived all the lives they sing about, from road-weary travelers, bitter and battered sailors, to workers and lovers. In stead, they search out the common themes in our ordinary and extraordinary moments and the uncertain providence they all lead to.</span></span></p> <span style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:12pt;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;" >Gallery open by appointment.<br />For alternate viewing times contact rotatinghistoryartproject@gmail.com</span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;" ><span style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:12pt;"><br /></span></span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;" >For event parking directions</span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;" >:</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" ><span><span style="color:black;"><span></span><a href="http://rotatinghistory.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> http://rotatinghistory.blogspot.com/</a></span></span></span><br /><div><br /></div> </div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div> </blockquote></div>Rotating History Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09448356015430522229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744654353242938278.post-26463015247118495932011-01-14T14:40:00.001-08:002011-03-30T06:47:01.737-07:00Same River Twice during Baltimore Green WeekWe are excited to announce that our spring show, <i>The Same River Twice,</i> will be included as part Baltimore Green Works' 8th annual week of events <a href="http://baltimoregreenworks.com/events/baltimore-green-week/">Baltimore Green Week </a>on Saturday April 23, 2011.

Submissions are encouraged in all genres—poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.<br /><br />Same River Twice is scheduled to open in April 2011 at the G-Spot, an art gallery and performance space located on the banks of the lower Jones Falls in Hampden. The show, which will include visual art, music, performance, multimedia, and writing, will explore personal, historical, environmental, and cultural reactions and interactions with the Jones Falls. The audience for the show is meant to include any and all of the communities that use and live near the Jones Falls, including businesses, art patrons and practitioners, motorists, nature seekers, and residents. The show is part of a larger group of happenings called the Rotating History Project, founded by Teddy Johnson and Heather Rounds.<br /><br />Writers of all types are encouraged to submit work that uses the Jones Falls, both the river and its environs, as a starting place or inspiration. The written work will be curated and edited by local writer Joseph Young, and those works chosen will be published in the Same River Twice book, which will feature full-color art as well. Authors will also be invited to read their work at the show’s opening reception in April.<br /><br />Writers should limit their work to 3000 words or less. Because of space limitations in the book, shorter pieces may be given priority over longer works, but quality will be the first concern; thus, longer pieces of special merit are encouraged.<br /><br />Work must be submitted by January 10, 2011 for consideration.
