HEDGE Gallery is excited to present Ken Kurp's new works at  Visible Voice Books opening April 11th 2014 for the Tremont Art Walk. Ken is a neighboring artist and framer in 78th Street Studios, and has been creating drawings and collages for as long as he can remember.
Ken co-owns Walken Frame & Art in the 78th Street Studios,
 and when he's not busy working on hand crafted and intricately designed frames for clients, he can be found cutting, pasting and painting his own art works. Ken uses scraps of other artists' works, cuttings from vintage magazines and newsprint and other repurposed materials to create his humorous, tongue in cheek illustrations.
He will often repurpose other found materials to create beautifully designed frames for his drawings.
Ken's work will be on display at Visible Voice through May 4th.

Sean Dubois Day, author of Tales from the Joint
Joshua Milhoe is a 72 year old convict with a criminal record stretching back as far as even he could remember. His life had been a virtual cradle to jail trip. Serving a life sentence behind penitentiary bars is not where Joshua wants to be; but where he needs to be. After returning to his cell unexpectedly, Joshua surprises three young convicts in the act of stealing his things. In prison, such transgressions are instant recipes for death. Joshua locks himself inside his cell with the trio; forcing them to listen as he narrates six horror tales. Finally, Joshua inflicts his own sentence upon the intruders from where there is no respite, no reprieve.
Tales from the Joint is a dual thriller that blends a mother's love for her child. Eve Milhoe has a paranormal disease that is linked to her son Joshua's revolving door imprisonment. Each time Joshua is released into society, Eve develops life threatening  illnesses. As long as Joshua is in prison, Eve remains alive. No one can escape the paralyzing climax in Tales from the Joint. SEAN DUBOIS DAY: Brought up in the plush suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, but funneled to the merciless ghetto streets of Everywhere-America, Mr. Day's writings respectfully reflect these two environments as equals. Perspicacious, insightful, hip and true to life, he fuses life's experiences by opening his vein, then by dipping a quill into the joys and wounds of our world.

James A. Mitchell, author of The Walrus and the Elephants
Author and journalist Jim Mitchell will discuss his recently released The Walrus and the Elephants: John Lennon's Years of Revolution. Jim will be speaking about John Lennon's early years of social activism, his music with the progressive New York band Elephant's Memory, and Lennon's special relationship with Ann Arbor. Based entirely on new interviews and research, The Walrus and the Elephants is the first book about John Lennon to show how his emergence as a solo artist, his embrace of radical politics and feminism, and his love affair with New York City coincided. From controversial television appearances, to benefit concerts, to his new, post-Beatlemania band Elephant's Memory, The Walrus and the  Elephants is Lennon's story told by a cast of close friends and fellow activists from his Greenwich Village days. JAMES A. MITCHELL is the author of But for the Grace: Profiles in Peace from a Nation at War, the story of an orphanage in Sri Lanka's war-torn northeast; rock biography It Was All Right: Mitch Ryder's Life in Music; and tales from a rural newspaper, Applegate: Freedom of the Press in a Small Town. A reporter and editor for more than twenty years, his writing has appeared in Entertainment Weekly, The Humanist, and Starlog.

Ken Lanci, author of Working for the Greater Good of All...Really!
KEN LANCI is a native Clevelander, successful businessman, and philanthropist. He has over 30 years of business experience; growing his own successful printing company and helping other businesses emerge from failure and thrive. When he sees problems, he tackles them, head on. He is driven by one goal, to work for the greater good of all.
Ken entered politics to take the next step on his journey of faith, to work for the people of his community. He ran for the office of Cuyahoga County executive in 2010 as an independent, pledging to work for just $1 a year. He accepted no donations to his campaign and spent $1 million of his own money so that, if elected, he could work for the community without owing anyone any favors. He dug deep into the problems facing the county and while a candidate, worked with over 60 services directors and met with about 30 suburban mayors and officials to develop practical solutions. He was guided solely by the best interests of the people of Cuyahoga County for the greater good of all. Ken also ran for Mayor of Cleveland in the 2013 election.
In Working for the Greater Good of All...Really, Ken tells his story, from childhood in the streets of eastside Cleveland, to learning to be a business man. He talks candidly about his death at age 57 and recovery, which put him on his current journey of faith.
