Voices
a call for entries exhibition open to artists

. Voices
seeks work by artists who explore the idea and action of making sounds from a wide range of perspectives.
The voice consists of sounds and non-sounds including talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. It is an act of self-expression, communication and story telling, and a part of our cultural identity. The exhibition Voices examines the human body as a memory chamber and musical instrument; voice as expression of political conflicts and rhythm of nature; immersion in sonic landscape; and more.
Work will be selected by Mayumi Hamanaka, Kala's Gallery Manager.

An evening of Stop-Motion Animation & Food Pairings
Screening at Kala Art Institute, September 19, 2015 at 7:30 pm

Stop & Go: Made From Scratch offers a delicious suite of animations in a variety of impressions on crafting, horticulture and food. In some animations artists literally play with their food, while in other works they employ a wide range of materials to create a desired effect. Altogether this screening is more than just a feast for your eyes. It also presents images, sounds and sensations that will both nourish and delight audience members.
For this screening
Stop & Go is very excited to partner with Kelsie Kerr of
Standard Fare. Kerr is an acclaimed chef who, over the past three decades, has contributed to the success of several well-loved Bay Area restaurants including Chez Panisse and Zuni Café. In 2014, Kerr launched her own establishment Standard Fare which specializes in seasonal and sustainable menus packaged to-go in innovative and re-usable ceramic wares.
