SUMMARY:RachelSimone x NIGHT MOVES
DESCRIPTION:RachelSimone x NIGHT MOVES-\nEventbrite RSVP\n\n\nUNTITLED vol.
 2  is excited to present a special interpretation by musician\, essayist
  and poet\, RachelSimone in response to the current exhibition\, Night 
 Moves.\n\nCome view the exhibit and engage in an evening of music and wine
  in community with our neighbors\, Oakland Outpost.\n\n 	Please RSVP at 
 link\n 	Doors at 6:00PM\n 	Performance at 7:00PM\n\n\nNight Moves consider
 s how the evening hours transform the ordinary into something quietly subl
 ime. Removed from the demands of daylight\, these dreamlike landscapes exp
 lore the darkness not as a place of fear or unease\, but as a space of fre
 edom where transgression unfolds into something tender\, expansive\, and b
 eautiful.\n\nNight emerges through the work as a feeling rather than a con
 dition. It offers refuge\, safety\, and the possibility to experience the 
 primordial. It is a time when rules soften\, identities blur\, and the sup
 ernatural comes into focus. \n \n\n\nEditor’s Pick- Art Bae\n\n“Nigh
 t Moves\, curated by Alexis Gordon and Kyle Warren Smith\, is sort of a se
 t of nested surprises. The gallery\, after a brief stint of itinerant cura
 ting\, opened last November in the quiet\, unassuming\, cute Temescal Alle
 y in Oakland. Long a site for gallery projects\, it’s nevertheless a del
 ight to encounter good art in an unexpected place. The exhibition\, celebr
 ating night\, transforms the gallery into an intimate\, dark space. Atop a
  scrim of black curtains\, photographic works by seven artists float. Fire
  and photo flash illuminate nocturnal scenes… it’s a moody gem of a sh
 ow in a promising new space.”\n\n- Aaron Harbour\n\n\nAbout RachelSimone
  Wyley:\n\nRachelSimone Wyley is a poet-essayist-songwriter-vocalist. She 
 understands art to be the solution to racial inequity\, not simply its mir
 ror and megaphone. She leverages dialogue\, deliberate pauses\, and a diff
 erentiated relationship with time to manufacture the spaciousness needed f
 or authentic exchange.\n\nBy leveraging music as a facilitation tool\, Rac
 helSimone activates the qualities of creativity\, empathy\, and vulnerabil
 ity in others - however latent - to connect individuals in spontaneous com
 munity and then\, to guide them through a process of critical unlearning a
 nd radical re-education. She deliberately disrupts the power dynamic that 
 exists between artist (the "entertainer") and audience (the "entertained")
  and requires all present to offer their own emotional collateral as a cri
 tical part of the creation process.
