PROTEST HEAVEN Saturday, 10/18: Jorrit Dijkstra's Flatlands Collective Jorrit Dijkstra - alto saxophone, lyricon 10pm, 2 sets Heaven Gallery
The Flatlands Collective brings together the remarkable Dutch alto saxophonist and composer Jorrit Dijkstra with some of Chicago’s most interesting improvisers. In Chicago, one of the most important musical cities in the US, he found a common ground in a more trans-national way of improvising, using open forms, and a looser interpretation of the American jazz tradition. Dijkstra says: ”I believe that the landscape in which you grow up has an effect on how your music sounds. This is what’s so interesting about jazz: musicians in New York, Barcelona, Moscow, Shanghai or Addis Ababa play this music, but there is always a distinctive local interpretation.” And he adds: “I called this group The Flatlands Collective after the landscape heritage I share as a Dutchman with the Chicago players.” Dijkstra provides most of the compositions, in which he strives towards a balance between composed material, clear guidelines for musicians to improvise, and openness for the most adventurous kinds of improvisations. The group has developed a way of improvising that blends Chicago-style free jazz, texture-based minimalism, and melodic layering into an eclectic yet organically coherent repertoire. Dijkstra’s use of the Lyricon (a vintage analog wind synthesizer from the 1970s) and Fred Lonberg-Holm’s amplified cello adds an electronic touch to the rich variety of ideas, structures, and textures of the group sound. The Flatlands Collective has released their debut CD Gnomade in December 2006 on Skycap records, which has received 4 stars from Downbeat Magazine, and much critical acclaim by the international press.

"Daydreams in the Age of Delightenment" by Ryan V. Brennan In Ryan’s first Solo Show in Chicago titled “Daydreams in The Age of Delightenment” he expands upon his earlier work of intricate three dimensional collages that combined found objects, cut paper, wood work, and drawings which strung together poetic riddles blurring notions of childhood and adolescent innocence. For Heaven Gallery he has brought his new wall relief collages to life by turning them into wondrous miniature environments which stop animation movies are filmed. The new work is described as Cinemallage: Works that are simultaneously the set and viewing platform for stop animation movies. Housed within each collage is a video player displaying chapters of an imaginative tale of a young mans journey through a land of make believe where he learns of the power of imagination to make a change in the world around him. This story cleverly utilizes the naïve language of fairytale as a vehicle to engage real issues of modern society evoking hope and community in a trying time of uncertain future. *Also on view, a screening at 8:00 of the stop animation as well as other films, drawings, collages, and a life size video installation. Ryan V. Brennan (b. Cincinnati, Ohio 1982) has exhibited internationally (France, and Prague) and nationally (Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Richmond). He has shown in LA Art Fair 08, Scope Miami Fair 07, and Scope Hamptons Fair 07, and will be on exhibit in the LA Art Fair 09 and has a two person show June 09 at Rare Gallery in Chelsea. Ryan received a full fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center in 06 and has been featured in a variety of publications. (New York Times, Beautiful Decay Magazine website, The Sunday Paper, Atlanta, Biscayne Times, Miami, and Savannah Morning News) Heaven Gallery http://www.ryanvbrennan.com Gallery hours are only by appointment.
