ArtCult Polyponic Presents Fantasticboom
Saturday, August 26th
Mark Cuthbertson was both a professional guitarist and a journal-published philosopher of religion when he started Fantasticboom, the union of those two careers. Looming large are the ghosts of Blaise Pascal and, oddly enough, philosophers who are still alive. “I started Fantasticboom with the intention of sounding like no one else and even of saying things that songs had never been about,” says Mark. “As colorful as modern music is, as much as it has evolved, it’s still mostly a bunch of love songs.” Fantasticboom is about the more difficult aspects of changing, communicated largely through philosophical and theological concepts.
“subversive art...sonic stories about love, longing and a litany of mistakes, all wrapped in oft-mellifluous melodies...a layered, dichotomous record.” -The Dallas Observer

ArtCult Polyponic Presents Carlos Averhoff Jr.
The music of this project blends authentic Afro-Cuban rhythmic elements with a strong presence of today's contemporary Jazz language.
A particular element that Carlos Averhoff, Jr. brings to his show is a unique technique he developed. It is named, M.A.R.I (Melodic And Rhythmic Independence) in which he plays a percussive instrument (left foot) while playing his saxophone, engaging 100% of his audience each show! Certainly, this element delivers a unique tast of Carlos's Cuban roots on his music and playing.

VISCERAL: relating to a deep inward feeling rather than to intellect.
Have you ever wanted to dip your toe into the water, but have been afraid to jump all the way in? A calling, curiosity, or purpose, that you’ve always known was for you but, you have been too afraid to dive in, and live in the fullness it. Diving into the water is where the adventure begins and life truly starts.
Visceral is an immersive dance performance that will explore taking the plunge and all of the emotions that come with it!
Entrapment, Rage, and Self Doubt -- finding relationship with yourself, to others, and to the world around you.

The final program of the 2022/23 OFF the Beaten Path Performances Series. Blizzard of One features vocalist, educator and actor Richard Oliver. This experience juxtaposes the recitation of Mark Strand’s Blizzard of One with Franz Schubert’s late String Quartet in G Major. Blizzard of One fosters and encourages musical and artistic expression in arts and cultural experiences by presenting a concert program that audience members recognize. The audience will view the program in a different light due to the music program's collaborative spirit between the spoken word and music.
PROGRAM
String Quartet No. 15 in G major - Franz Schubert
**This concert is funded by the Dallas Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) ArtsActivate grant**
EMERGE is offering a "Pay what you can" method for the 2022-2023 Performance Series.

“Supporting Our Indigenous Sisters: An International Print Exchange Exhibition“ at Artstillery! This exhibition of 16 women from as far away as New Zealand was co-curated by Professors Melanie Yazzie and Catherine Prose. Eight of the sixteen are indigenous and the other eight are multiethnic allies. Jodi Voice Yellowfish organized a beautiful program which started with a prayer and a ceremonial song and included a poetry reading and of course, loads of good eats!
Director, Ilknur Ozgur was asked by SMU Ignite0 to join the "Down By The Riverside" creation team in March 2022. This journey consisted of 5 artistic leaders coming together for a movement which occured on Riverfront Blvd. in Downtown Dallas leading to the river in West Dallas.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I want to revisit memories of coming from a country, former Yugoslavia, torn by civil war, and later working in Afghanistan as a contractor but not as a direct description of the destruction wars leave behind, rather as a reflection of relations, or contradictions between perceived fragility of human flesh and or spirit in relation to materials associated with strength and endurance, i.e., stones, concrete blocks, bunkers and or sandbags.
This was a visual retrospective to commemorate the powerful narratives brought to life through Artstillery’s unique, immersive performances. Alisa Eykilis' photographic lens has been with Artstillery before it had a name. She has been taking photos of the group and works as they came to life.
We celebrated the talent of Alisa and the journey we've been on with photos, videos, and live performances from past works.
