Jenny Morgan: Kith and Kin, at Plus Gallery, will focus first and foremost on the painter's work, but also on her longstanding relationship with Plus. Morgan happens to have been the very first intern at the then-fledgling space in 2003; since then, her relationship with gallery owner Ivar Zeile has grown into that of artist and art dealer.
Morgan's work is typified by color-saturated nudes... More >>

Even if more than two people worked at Audio Park Studio, the business would still be 100 percent devoted to the Beatles. That fandom shows itself on the walls, which are peppered with posters of the Fab Four, and in the sheer amount of Beatles memorabilia that co-owner Park Peters has amassed -- somewhere between 150 and 200 items, he estimates.
This weekend, the studio will celebrate that... More >>

Sex trafficking and gender violence continue to be serious problems around the world, says RedLine director PJ D'Amico, which is why the art gallery and studio is showing Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art, a traveling exhibition that focuses on female empower-ment and awareness.
Curated by Randy Rosenberg of Oakland-based Art Works for Change, the show brings together pieces by 32... More >>

A few years back, a promising act called Makeout Point put out a couple of noteworthy releases that evoked a fascinating combination of Throwing Muses and Fire Party. Unfortunately, that group parted ways in early 2011, before it could really capitalize on the hints of greatness in the handful of songs it had released. Fortunately, three-fourths of the band got back together later that year... More >>

You can call what Julius Papp produces and spins "house" — and it is, beyond the shadow of a doubt -- but the sweeping, funky melodies and soulful beats have roots and branches in genres from disco to hip-hop. Papp started collecting vinyl in the 1970s and began playing with turntables in 1985, so he's been around since the origin of electronica, and he's devoted his career to creating... More >>

Bone Orchard Revival opens its self-titled album with a dusty, unhurried, reverb-drenched track called "Temptation" that would make an ideal soundtrack for walking through a graveyard — apt, considering the band's moniker. These Michigan transplants, now based in Denver, also dip into a fair amount of old-time country, blues and Americana. On the lively, foot-stomping "Lowdown Dirty... More >>

Hot Robots, which is preparing to release its new album, All Alone Together this week, comprises members of a number of very well-regarded Denver acts past and present, such as the Christines, the LaDonnas, the Inactivists and Local 33. You can hear the quintet's collective love of power pop and guitar-driven '80s new wave in its music. But instead of sounding like they're hopping on the same... More >>

Mirrors can perfectly reflect or utterly distort the worlds unfolding in front of them, and artist Sarah Richter has created an entire installation, called Infinite Refraction, that plays with this idea. "It's going to be an exploratory experience, where the viewer can walk through and the reflections will change," Richter explains. "So it's really unique to the individual. The sculptures are...

Even though it's a Nobel Prize-winner, Elis Canetti's novel Auto da Fe is still a pretty esoteric text. But not for much longer, says Brian Freeland, artistic director for the LIDA Project, which will bring the 1935 book to the stage for the first time with an original adaptation by Rebecca Gorman O'Neill.
The multimedia theater production is the tragic, darkly comic tale of a mid-forties... More >>
