OUT OF DARKNESS- NOW- January 15, 2021
Featuring seven artists juried by George Jenne, Out of Darkness pays homage to Film Noir. This genre first evolved out of economic necessity following World War II as low to modestly budgeted film projects. The result of working with minimal equipment and resources led to creative experimentation then and now.
Featured Artists: Adam Bellefeuil, I’Nasah Crockett, Jimmy Fountain, Tama Hochbaum, Lindsay Metivier, JP Jermaine Powell, Xiaowei Wu, Shao Yixuan.

PIECES OF GRIEF- AN AUDIO EXPERIENCE
Pieces of Grief is our latest SEEK Raleigh project gone virtual! Pieces of Grief is a seven-segment audio project by Felix Obelix aka Wendy Spitzer. As a sonic meditation on grief and loss, it integrates field recordings, anonymous voicemails, archival interviews, and original music. It is intended to be listened to in quiet contemplation while walking the trails of Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh, North Carolina, or in any quiet, natural area. LEARN MORE.
Disclaimer: Please note that these pieces can be emotionally intense at times, and there are mentions of death, loss, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
