About the event
MUSIC – Jake Sherman
Fast forward some years beyond his time studying at Berklee College of Music, and it’s clear Jake has found a way to combine his appreciation of great songwriting with his piano/organ-playing prowess. He has become a go-to musician on recordings and tours for artists including Meshell Ndegeocello, Bilal, Andrew Bird, and Nick Hakim. Chance the Rapper’s Grammy-winning song “No Problem” includes some of Jake’s work.
More recently, Jake has re-tapped his well of musicality and songmaking to create his newest release, Jake Sherman Gets Sexy. The album is a journey through modern dating and relationships, with a point of view that is somehow both poignant and Weird Al-esque.
ART EXHIBITION – „The Void“ Elad Larom
Temptation, craving, and destruction, portrayed by black holes, beautiful women, and addicts, formulate this series of watercolor paintings.
This body of work draws a line between attachment and addiction, between the concrete and the abstract.
AS ABOVE
The void, the bardo of nothingness. Space in another realm.
Weakening of consciousness, or the sensation of post orgasm as little death, la petite mort.
A black hole sucks everything around it, folding time and space.
A black hole is a dark hole; even light can’t escape it.
SO BELOW
A black hole is the Negative Nirvana that hard drug users seek to experience: leaving their bodies behind while they enter the void.
Women, that obscure object of desire.
