The 14Kt Cabaret presents:

A delightful evening of performance, music, poetry and film featuring:

THE FRED AND CHARLIE SHOW, RIDING TIGERS, 
KEN CARPS and super-special guest performances!
Showtime 9pm doors 8:30pm $6 (cash only)

RIDING TIGERS take their name from the Chinese proverb that “One who rides tigers knows that by the day’s end they may be riding on the inside”, reflecting the band’s penchant for indeterminate and pictographic scores and spontaneous composition-creating both chaos and harmony within a written yet fluid framework.

Consisting of string trio, voice and percussion, this performance will include a live soundtrack in collaboration with Bob Wagner-presenting 16mm film actively manipulated on multiple projectors.

Special guest performers will be Deanna Pineda of Cigarbox Planetarium and The Beat Stylists on violin and Mark Jickling of Old Songs and Half Japanese on guitar. Jickling’s digital video short ”Oh Those Stars” will also be presented.

December 4, 2013: 6pm, Amy Boone-McCreesh and Milana Braslavsky

MAP's Program Advisory Committee (PAC) curates Young Blood, an annual exhibition of works by recent Baltimore-area Masters of Fine Art graduates. The exhibition includes emerging artists from area colleges such as Maryland Institute College of Art and The University of Maryland College Park. Since 2008 this program has continually brought recent graduates together to make new connections and present special selections from their graduate exhibitions. According to MAP's former Program Advisory Chair, Cara Ober, "After achieving their Masters the next most important step for young artists is their professional debut in a reputable professional gallery." Since 2008, Young Blood has provided a meritorious exhibition experience for over 72 artists.

The 14 Karat Cabaret is a beloved Baltimore institution that features experimental music, dance, video, and art in a performance space located in MAP’s former home at 218 West Saratoga Street.  The 14 Karat Cabaret is the brainchild of Laure Drogoul, an interdisciplinary artist, alumni of the Maryland Institute College of Art and a graduate of the Rinehart School of Sculpture (1981’.)  The Cabaret has been a highly celebrated venue for alternative performance art and music for over 20 years.

Thursday, August 29, 5-7pm

MAP is partnering with the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore (JCC) for the 2nd IMPACT project of 2013. The JCC has generously donated their courtyard as a venue for an outdoor installation.

A local artist collective, Global Humanity Now (GHN), has been selected for this summer’s IMPACT project. GHN is comprised of artists Remina Greenfield, Janina Anderson, Janet Hong and Gabriel Quick. Their artwork installation titled, Return, has been designed specifically for the JCC’s courtyard and is comprised of a woven fabric that will extend over the courtyard of the building, creating a pseudo canopy. In its entirety, Return relates to the concept of a “network,” and is intended to illustrate the dynamic relationship between individuals and the community they comprise. The title “Return” is derived from Leo Strauss’s essay Progress or Return (1952).

Please join us for a public reception from 5-8pm on August 29 at the JCC located at 3506 Gwynbrook Ave, Owings Mills Maryland.
