Art & Krimes by Krimes – Film Screening and Discussion

While in federal prison for six years, artist Jesse Krimes secretly creates monumental works of art—including an astonishing forty-foot mural made with contraband materials, prison bed sheets, and hair gel. With the help of fellow artists, he smuggles out each panel piece-by-piece, only seeing the mural in totality upon his release and return home. 

Screening: Thursday, June 29th (Click here to RSVP)

Loving Still – RAWdance Dance Residency

Founded in 2004 by Ryan T. Smith and Wendy Rein, RAWdance will engage in a three-month residency at 836M to end the 2023 programming. 

Drawing inspiration from Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850s -1950s, by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, RAWdance is assembling an ensemble of 10 male-identifying dancers to perform a series of duets. By agreement with the publisher, photos from the book will be reproduced in large format and mounted in the gallery.

Exhibition Dates: Oct 9 – Dec 10

Closing performances: TBD
