Price: Free
Experimental Music Jam at Twist
Twist and Jam

Forrest Bride veteran Ben Marcantel is playing the role of impresario this week, booking a pair of experimental composer/musicians at the Twist Gallery space at 73 Arcade. Eli Keszler's percussive compositions pepper vast, ringing, gamelan-like soundscapes with atonal punctuations, creating a sound like a haunted music box. Ashley Paul's muse is also drawn toward shadowy spaces, but it is the eloquent vocalizations Paul pulls from her keening woodwind phrases that make songs like “Dumpster of Love” uniquely her own. Expect both solo sets and some Wonder Twins-style collaborations from these two. Here's to hoping for more of the same from Marcantel and Twist

Adore snail mail? Arcade art gallery wants your love letters
Will Ayers • July 8, 2009
While downtown dwellers and workers are crossing their fingers, hoping the 106-year-old Arcade Post Office won't be closed in a controversial cost-cutting measure, an art gallery just upstairs in the Arcade is adding its own voice to the fray.
Twist Art Gallery is asking fans of the Arcade Post Office, as well as devotees of the dying medium of old-fashioned mail itself, to create love notes to its beleaguered neighbor on postcards no larger than 5" by 7".
You need not be a professional artist to participate; the gallery owners just ask that you be creative. Postcards will be hung at the downtown gallery crawl on Aug. 1 and will be sold for $5 each to support future Twist art shows.

Sleepover With Stolle

Nashville Scene
Inspired by a friend's online post, local artist Nick Stolle decided that We Are Going to Spend the Night at Meemaw and Pop-Pop's was a fine name for his new show of work at Twist Gallery's space at Arcade 58. The idea of Stolle spending the night anywhere that may afford him a sound night's sleep is probably a good idea for a young artist who has spent the last several months throwing his hat into the ring for the Nashville's Hardest Working Artist Award. Hot on the heels of a Watkins senior show that featured an exclamation point of a short play that he wrote, directed and acted in, Stolle has regularly cranked out new work that is sarcastic enough to sucker the hipsters, but sincere enough to move those with eyes to se

Call for your Mail Art: Love Letter to the Post Office
Recently, our dear Arcade Post Office has been threatened with closing
by the U.S. Postal Service. While we all assume the end of paper mail
is at some point inevitable, we certainly have a nostalgia for actual
handwritten letters and postcards. The Arcade Post Office has been in
the Arcade since the very beginning, opening in 1903. 106 years later
- is it the end of an era? We hope not, but in the meantime, send your
heartfelt Love Letter to the Post Office via Twist Art Gallery, 73 Arcade,
Nashville, TN 37219. Please make it a postcard no larger than 5" x 7"
and postmark by July 24th.
We will hang your postcards in Twist 58 for the August Gallery Crawl.
Postcards will not be returned, but will be sold at the Gallery Crawl for
$5 a piece to support future Twist exhibitions in the Arcade. (It is our
third birthday after all!! And we hope to have many more.) You need
not be an artist to send us a postcard, but we hope it will get your
creative juices flowing.

twist etc. space 58 presents: Nick Stolle
WE ARE GOING TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT MEEMAW AND POP-POP's is an exhibit of recent work by Nick Stolle on view at Twist 58 Gallery July 11-25 2009.
The work is a quiet meandering through an assortment of visual and linguistic avenues on the themes of shame, longing, and hope. Pop-Pop said we can watch the video later. Meemaw doesn’t know how to work it.
Twist 58 is located on the upper level of the Arcade in downtown Nashville. Reception during July's Second* Saturday Art Crawl, July 11.
*Fer true, Second Saturday in July, rather than first, due to Independence Day. Thank you for affording me seven more days to prepare, Independence Day.
