Celebrate the exhibition with drinks, music and Rock Fish Stew
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
6:00 - 8:00 PM
Join us for drinks, music and Rock Fish Stew (aka striped bass) prepared by Chef Ricky Moore of Saltbox Seafood Joint in honor of Big, Bent Ears (whose curators, Sam Stephenson and Ivan Weiss comprise the Rock Fish Stew Institute of Literature & Materials).
Two special vinyl record-spinning sessions in the Big, Bent Ears kissa:
6:00 - 8:00 PM Ben and Jennifer Barwick of Ashley Stove
8:00 - 10:00 PM M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger
Big, Bent Ears explores the art and craft of listening and seeing. By blending photography, film and video with music and other sounds, visitors are compelled to think about the interplay between the two senses and to consider the various practices and parallels involved in creating visual art and music.
Please RSVP to melissa.roth@camraleigh.org
