Artist Talk: Paolo Arao
Thursday, May 20 at 5pm, free
Join us in our Project Space for an artist talk by exhibiting artist Paolo Arao, who will give a presentation about his charcoal drawings depicting concert crowds partially obscured by stage lighting.
Paolo Arao is represented by Jeff Bailey Gallery and his work has been featured in exhibitions at the Drawing Center, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Deitch Projects, Socrates Sculpture Park, Madder Gallery (London), and the Contemporary Museum (Baltimore). Paolo Arao lives and works in Brooklyn.
LAST LOOK with First Communion After Party
Music and Closing Event
Saturday, May 22 from 7 to 9pm, free
“A sprawling commune of a band, these prophets of new psychedelia combine the percussive shake of a den of rattlesnakes with waves of guitar that warp and shimmer like heat coming off a stretch of desert blacktop.”
— City Pages
In the spirit of Paolo Arao’s charcoal drawings of rock concerts, local psych-rock band First Communion After Party will give a special performance in Franklin’s freshly debuted Screening Room space in celebration of the current exhibition’s closing.
At 7pm the evening kicks off with a tour of our current series of solo exhibitions by Franklin’s curator and director, Tim Peterson.
Following the performance, enjoy a reception in the galleries – a great opportunity to see the current exhibitions before they close.
