Film Screening : Crossing Saturday March 1 @ 3pm About a year ago I started to listen to the Turkish folk singer Selda Bağcan on a very heavy rotation. She is often referred to as “the bitter sound of Turkish people” due to the emotional quality of her vocals. I remember it matching the bittersweet mood that I was already settled into. When I watched Crossing for the first time, there was a scene in which the main character Lia (played by Mzia Arabuli) is walking through Istanbul alone, there’s a look in her face of deep nostalgia, as though she’s reliving memories from when she visited the city as a child; this scene is accompanied by Selda Bağcan in the soundtrack.

Reworking a Bloom Featuring works by Maria Britton and Jennifer Meanley January 3 – March 2 Opening Reception: Friday, January 3, 6-9pm Lump is pleased to present a two person exhibition, Reworking a Bloom, a conversation between works by Jennifer Meanley and Maria Britton. Reworking a Bloom explores what it means to rework an object or image, and the fecund accumulation that occurs through the process. “To rework” has multiple implications within artmaking, when looking at Britton’s and Meanley’s work we can think of the idea of reworking as a means of repurpose, revision, reveal, and reconceal.
