Music
Words in Motion w/ A.L. West, Virginia Creeper, Wake Up Spaceboy
Readings by local authors Roger Reeves, Greg Marshall, and Stephanie Yue Duhem coincide with live music at Words in Motion, a format-mixing event at Alienated Majesty Books (once Malvern). Daniel Bryson promises a “stripped down but still full band-ish set” from A.L. West, whose November album The Store issues like minded acoustic warmth to locally launched act Hovvdy. Virginia Creeper deals in similar soundscapes, but her vocal-forward compositions skew more comically confessional: “I’m in love with everybody I meet/ Celebrities keep kissing me in my sleep,” she reveals in loner anthem “Birdwatching.” Wake Up Spaceboy, meanwhile, goes electric to soundtrack young adult malaise. A cozy cold weather meetup for those interested in indie rock and dark academia – or, at least, collared shirts.Fri., Jan. 12, 7pm -

Big Medium: No Kings But Us
"The collaborative back-and-forth between artists Robert Hodge and Tim Kerr is as compelling and intriguing for what is on display as for what is not. This exhibition presents the vivid yet amorphous residue of a contested, negotiated, and ultimately collaborative chronicle. It gathers swatches of 20th- and 21st-century history as recounted by artists from different generations and backgrounds, who share as many crossovers as they do variations."Opening reception: Fri., Jan. 12, 8-10pm -
