Live Music at Punch! "Birdie & Wil" with Opal Zipporah

Open 12-5pm Saturday, February 14 with "Birdie and Wil" playing indie-folk on the Punch Stage 3-5pm with guest Opal Zipporah. In the Punch Gallery, join us for the continuation of "Collusion."

"Collusion" showcases the collage and video works of artists Ade Hanft and Duane Toops. This two-person exhibition presents both analogue, hand-made collages as well as video-based works, some of which are the results of collaborative efforts between the two artists. For Hanft and Toops, beauty is hiding in plain sight waiting to be discovered. By embracing lo-fi techniques and non-traditional methods, they find inventive ways to remix old ideas in new ways.

Ade Hanft is Colorado-based experimental artist known for his looping animations that are printed on receipts. His Instagram account (@ade3) tends to show the meticulous process of his work. Ade uses timelapse techniques to condense hours of work down to seconds. His non-traditional methods have led him to invent thermal printmaking techniques, one-of-a-kind cameras, and novel approaches to animation.

Duane Toops is a collage maker in Melbourne, Florida. Through the medium of collage, he attempts to examine the fragments, fractals, and facets of the human experience; joy and sorrow, presence and absence, memory and longing, selfhood and identity, hope and despair, with the aim of discovering the ways in which they all connect and cohere.

Not to mention, we’ve got beverages and snacks in the Punch Snack Bar.

Plan to arrive early for a good seat!
