Happy Birthday Corita Kent!

The artist, nun, educator, and activist was born on this day, November 20th, in 1918!

Today we are flipping through Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent (N6537 .K435 A4 2013 Quarto) in celebration.

Corita Kent entered the Roman Catholic order of Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles in 1936, and took the name Sister Mary Corita. After recieving her MA in Art History, Corita became the head of the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College.

She worked almost exclusively with silkscreen, or serigraphy, helping to establish it as a fine art medium. Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s.

Her classes at Immaculate Heart were an avant-garde mecca for prominent, ground-breaking artists and inventors, such as Alfred Hitchcock, John Cage, Saul Bass, Buckminster Fuller and Charles & Ray Eames.

Buckminster Fuller described his visit to the department as “among the most fundamentally inspiring experiences of my life.”

Have we cycled back to these rules yet??

Also looking forward to the (forthcoming book) Art of Handwriting from @archivesofamericanart team - including curator Mary Savig who brought forward letters from artists like Sister Mary Corita Kent, as well as the equally alluring volunpeers who transcribed them!

Aw gee, thanks @smithsoniantranscriptioncenter! We are waiting for the book with bated breath as well! And it’s never a bad time to celebrate Sister Mary Corita Kent.

A second casting session for my film To Catch a Falling Knife is going down Friday from 1-4pm. I'd love it if you would share this with anyone that comes to mind!

Brief character descriptions are: John - mid-30s man, average height and build, pensive but steady Sam - 8yr old Child Kerry - early 30s woman, graceful, beautiful, strong Scotty - middle aged, skinny man with strong rural southern accent

She possessed courage, wit, and deep insight. She had read much, and had so admirable a memory, that she never forgot any thing she had read. She had successfully applied herself to philosophy, medicine, history, and the liberal arts; and her poetry excelled the compositions of the best writers of her time. Besides this, she was a perfect beauty, and all her accomplishments were crowned by solid virtue.

Elf tears, the Police, and Enya running through fields.

Hello friends,

So much good news this week!

It is release week for LEVV and we are so so so excited to finally be putting out this record!

Seth and I recorded this last summer and we are so happy and proud to announce that it is available and ready to be heard. Our friend Mike Donehey described it on twitter today as ‘elf tears, the Police, and a dash of Enya running through fields.’ We decided that would be the perfect way to describe the project to you. :)

It is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and Bandcamp.

If you like it, please spread the word! One thing we really need some help with is our Thunderclap. We need at least 250 people to join the Thunderclap and donate just one tweet to help us spread the word about Strange Fire. If you join up, you get 10% off the EP! We are completely independent, DIY and self-managed, with no PR or agents to help us do this, so Thunderclap is a really cool way that we can all band together to send Strange Fire hurtling out into the world. Check it out and see if you’d like to be involved! (Again, you’re just donating one tweet of announcement. No other commitment required.)

If you missed the story on LEVV and how it came to become the band that it is now, you can read more about it here. (http://levvmusic.tumblr.com/post/111283215471/so-why-levv)

Hope you enjoy it. We truly put our whole hearts into this.

The crisp, crystalline beauty that welcomes us into Darkness is immediately arresting and spellbinding. The alt pop song is graceful, serene, yet so full of stirring sentiment and emotion. Darkness comes from a duo based out of both Nashville and Los Angeles named LEVV, and they have my full attention as they take my breath away with their music. Audrey Assad’s voice is divinely angelic, while Darkness’ simmering guitar exude such burning passion within the atmospheric folds of the track’s electronic production. The duo previously released a four track EP together named Arrow. Let’s listen to the exquisitely brooding title track below, too. LEVV’s Arrow EP is a free download, here.

What was the southern confederacy founded on? Let's ask it's Vice President, Alexander H. Stephens:

“The new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our institutions—African slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.”

“Our new government is founded... its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of the mind from a defect in reasoning. It is a species of insanity. One of the most striking characteristics of insanity, in many instances, is forming correct conclusions from fancied or erroneous premises; so with the anti-slavery fanatics. Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails. I recollect once of having heard a gentleman from one of the northern States, of great power and ability, announce in the House of Representatives, with imposing effect, that we of the South would be compelled, ultimately, to yield upon this subject of slavery, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics, as it was in physics or mechanics. That the principle would ultimately prevail. That we, in maintaining slavery as it exists with us, were warring against a principle, a principle founded in nature, the principle of the equality of men. The reply I made to him was, that upon his own grounds, we should, ultimately, succeed, and that he and his associates, in this crusade against our institutions, would ultimately fail.” ‪#‎heritageOFhate‬

Release.

Audrey here.

In all my years of doing this professionally (which chance I am so grateful to have) I have only just begun to understand what a catharsis making music can be. Writing songs is a chance to delve into the heart, into its darkness and its wounds, and nestle down inside them—to be reborn through them. Writing this music, being part of these LEVV songs, I have found both release and tension—I have been wounded and I have been resurrected. Things that I thought were dead in me are breathing again.

I am so honored to be a part of this band. Songs are tiny miracles made of mud, every one of them…and I for one am loving getting my hands dirty at long last.

Revisiting “The Rising” Lyrics

Spirits above and behind me Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright May their precious blood forever bind me Lord as I stand before your fiery light

I see you Mary in the garden In the garden of a thousand sighs There's holy pictures of our children Dancin' in a sky filled with light May I feel your arms around me May I feel your blood mix with mine A dream of life comes to me Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line

Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life) Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life) Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life) Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life) Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life) Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life) Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life ( a dream of life) Come on up for the rising

…you guys. We are already 18% funded as of now and I can not CAN NOT express adequately how grateful I am. I have been excited and nervous for days, which today has manifested in my spilling hot sauce, salsa, and grilled chicken juice on myself. At separate times, but in the same shirt. Yeah…so if...

It would absolutely make my day...

…if those of you who have been listening on FB, Twitter, Instagram, and here on Tumblr the past few days would help me tomorrow. In this age of no label and independent marketing, social media is my megaphone. I know things can get loud and crazy on social media, and that’s why I recognize that I am asking you a GIANT favor right now—it is not small and I do not take it lightly whatsoever. What, you might be wondering, is this crazy woman talking about? Tomorrow—oh, tomorrow—I am announcing something very special, very exciting, very prized in my heart. I can’t tell you all the details, but the way we are going to go about making this makes it a real team effort between me and you. You’ll see what I mean when it is announced in the morning, but for now I am just asking from the bottom of my heart that, if you love what we announce tomorrow, you’ll share it. I want this to be an offering to the Church, from the Church. Helping me get the word out about it would be the greatest gift you could give me.

XOXO,

Audrey

The Invitation by Oriah

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
