The Life of a Gesture

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Our June First Fridays art opening is by our friend and local artist Kendall Cox.  Drawing upon early to mid-20th century personal and domestic photographs, this beautiful series of prints “engages the mundane themes of mortality, memory, and repetition.”  This really is a must-see.

Wes Swing w/ Nelly Kate

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
A longtime Charlottesville favorite, Wes returns to the Garage, playing melodic chamber-pop with his cello, his voice and a loop peddle. Staunton-based Nelly Kate opens. We’re thrilled to have them both back - come rain or shine.

Flux

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

The Garage’s May instillation is by Richmond based artist, Sean Kelly. “Flux” is born out of a desire to visualize a personal sense of indeterminacy. Through the work, Sean strives to oscillate between the invitation of chaos and the establishment of order - a terrifying yet essential process for growth - while exploring the lines between the self and the other; the mind and the body; and one’s perception and an ‘objective’ sense of reality.  Due to the large number of art exhibits tomorrow we’ll be extending our hours until 9:30PM.

Small Sur

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

A long time favorite of ours, Baltimore based Small Sur creates ethereal indie/folk - “songs that are as close as we city-dwellers can get to the feeling of a strong harvest, songs you have to experience with your bare hands, pulling them out of the ground and shaking the soil off them” (Tiny Mix Tapes). On top of that the forecast for tonight is sunny and in the high-60’s. We highly suggest coming out for this one. Local singer/songwriter Chris Campanelli opens (suggested donation $5).
