SUMMARY:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Amalia Pica
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by a desire for civic participation\, Amalia Pica's work often takes the form of temporary interventions on buildings\, monuments\, or objects\, documenting the artist's insertion of her own body into the landscape or her subtle alteration of it. The London-based Argentinian artist (b. 1978) works primarily with sculpture\, photography\, film\, and installation\, adopting a conceptual approach marked by wit and a sense of play. Perception\, time\, memory\, and a sense of how particular gestures read in different cultural contexts are central to Pica's work\, alternately highlighting moments of connection and disjunction. The promise - as well as the uncertainty - of communication is a persistent concern in Pica's oeuvre. Megaphones\, antennae\, podiums\, and signal flags are recurring motifs\, though rarely are these devices shown in a moment of use. Depicted at rest or disconnected from their functionality\, they become figures for potential communication\, carriers of a message that always remains hypothetical.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & The Guilty Ones
DESCRIPTION:The king of California!\n\nA fourth-generation Californian\, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and self-described \"barroom guitarist\" Dave Alvin is widely considered one of the pivotal founders of the entire Americana music genre. Since forming the highly influential roots rock/R&B band The Blasters\, and throughout his long and critically acclaimed solo career\, Dave Alvin has mixed his varied musical and literary influences into his own unique\, updated version of traditional American music. Combining elements of blues\, folk\, R&B\, rockabilly\, Bakersfield country\, and garage rock and roll with lyrical inspiration from local writers and poets like Raymond Chandler\, Gerald Locklin and Charles Bukowski\, Dave says that his songs are \"just like California. A big\, messy melting pot.\" Dave has new music on the way\; his song \"Harlan County Line\" was recently premiered on the FX series \"Justified.\"
