Music Performances by:

• Old Milk Mooney are the New Haven based, self proclaimed, pioneers of Boop-Core: a genre that sounds suspiciously similar to folk. With an exploration of the human experience through heartfelt harmonies and lyrics, Dan and Lars bring a sense of playfulness and beauty to the lonely reflective moments of life.
• Kristen Heritage is a Brooklyn-based musician and multidisciplinary artist. Under the project name 3rd Floor Ghost, she creates stripped-down folk rock borne on the power of her voice and expressive fingerstyle guitar technique.
• City Island bandmates Nick Pretel and Josh Anthony are lifelong friends and the creators of City Island. Since the release of their first EP, All The Love, and their first music video for Prison Walls, they continue to bring original takes on Pop-Soul, Funk, Soft Rock, and other musical histories to form a genre-bending performance. City Island performs live at venues across NYC, Westchester and Southern CT. They have been featured in the Bronx Buzz, Spectrum 1 in LA, and NBC News 4 Latino.
• Jackson DePalma is a singer-songwriter, painter, novelist and published poet based out of the state of Connecticut. Performing solo acts of singing accompanied by the guitar, he plays songs that heavily entail traces of love, hate and the deception of reality in passing time. He addresses making music as a way of putting all the pieces of life together–forming songs like substantially colored paintings that fall apart into a scale of monochromatic purity and consciousness in its most genuine appearance.

Poetry Readings by:

• Miranda Argyros is a writer from New York. Her writing appears in HAD Magazine, Long River Review, Cherry Road Review, and elsewhere. She has received awards and recognition for her writing from Stony Brook University and the University of Connecticut, where she is a teacher and learner of English.
• Max Brazier is an emerging writer, photographer, and filmmaker. He has written several screenplays, short stories, and a book of poems titled “The Night Side”. He is currently writing and directing his first film, and is excited to share his work with wider audiences.

About the Exhibition

Corridor for Ghosts and Heralds includes painting, fiber work, large-scale and small-scale drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. The exhibition explores panoramic or cyclical visions of time, composite narratives, and tangled systems. Featuring work by Logan Bishop, Kaelynne Hernandez, Anya Kotler, Amanda Lechner, Anam Rani, Kelsey Skordal, and Katrina Slavik.

A stairwell acts as a dwelling in fractured time, where mid-step the body is suspended between destination and origin. It sits as a portal and architectural margin reserved for transience. With simultaneous views of where one has been and where one might go, the plural “now” collapse into a sedimentary cross-section. Each floor and step resembling the last, the vertical corridor causes slippage in one's perception of forward movement and stillness, or even regression. Like one’s sense of direction, cultural or personal objects once removed from their context become chameleonic ephemera.
