The opening of Make Ends Meet a group show at Flanders Gallery in Raleigh, NC grabs the city's imagination! Crocheted Olek covered the entire facade of the building facing West Street & an old family tractor from the 40's.  Jonathan Brilliant's installation using only coffee stir sticks and sleeves was awe inspiring.  The masterful work of Mathew Curran, Stencil Artist covered the gallery walls in black and white and pink.  Go see this show, it's up 'til the end of July.

BURLAP.
Portraits of Piedmont Farmers

RECEPTION: May 3, 6-9pm
Rebus Works, Raleigh, NC



This photography exhibit captures the faces of the clean food movement in our region. These portraits were all taken on farmland, with a veil of burlap between the farmers and the land they work. While these individuals have come to farming from a range of backgrounds and with varying intentions, these farmers have ultimately arrived at a nexus of geographical and philosophical common ground. Day after day, season after season, they set about their duties motivated by a love of labor and by the integrity of their mission.

Regardless of age, a youthful optimism persists in spite of the adversarial climate of today’s corporate food system. After decades of industrial agriculture and its assault on small, independent farmers, the agricultural tradition had been left hanging by a thread. Farmers are few; shareholders are many, and much knowledge has been forgotten. But the remnants of that knowledge, kept alive by a devoted few, are being stewarded by these farmers with new methodologies and a nod to the long agricultural tradition and history they are carrying on.

The beauty of this small-scale, intelligent farming resurgence rests in the collective, co-operative approach to solving age-old problems. There is an overarching desire to share knowledge and resources, while chipping away at monoculture and environmental disregard. These small-scale farms are winning day by day as evidenced by the growth and popularity of farmers markets, farm to fork restaurants, plow to pint breweries, local this, and organic that. “This isn’t a return to anything,” says one farmer while checking his email and taking a quick phone call in the field. Dropping an heirloom tomato into a bucket hanging from his belt loop he continues: “There’s nothing more modern than the food we eat.”

The frames, designed by William H. Dodge and fabricated by Marc E. Smith, are made of locally sourced Ambrosia maple.
