OPEN FEED X Infrasonic Series
This summer, Ethan Hayden is joining FEED as Event Curator-in-Residence. Together we are merging our OPEN FEED series with Ethan’s record label, Infrasonic Press, to produce public events in June and July called OPEN FEED X Infrasonic Series.
OPEN FEED X Infrasonic Series: LIVE FEED will consist of concerts that welcome experimental musicians from across the world, billed alongside Erie-based performers and visual artists for exciting intermedia events that will feature a wide variety of innovative work from off the beaten path. The concerts will be accompanied by a series of workshops, mostly led by the visiting artists, which will allow audiences to get more in depth with practices like hardware customization and free improvisation.
For OPEN FEED X Infrasonic Series: Artist Talks, Ethan has curated a series of talks by regional filmmakers, each with their own unique approach to the artform. The series will include Wednesday evening presentations by Luis Carlos Garcia, Britty Lea, director/screenwriter John C Lyons, and hip hop director K Sanz.
Ethan is a musician and author based in America's Rust Belt. He is the author of Sigur Rós's ( ), published as part of Bloomsbury's 33⅓ series, and runs the independent record label, Infrasonic Press.

SUMMER 2024 ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE
Gift Shop (June - September): Sarah Howard
Sarah Howard comes to FEED to create from bygone treasures. A time capsule of sorts, the basement below FEED provided Sarah with a never ending supply of raw materials. A teaching artist who's curriculum is based around kids using power tools, upcycled materials, and honing their problem-solving skills, Sarah encourages kids to stretch their imaginations as well as exposing them to new experiences. Sarah attended Ray College of Design in Chicago IL, obtaining a degree in Interior Design. While there, she was introduced to a teaching artist who empowered her to create with salvaged materials. While attending college she worked as a Visual Merchandiser for the largest JCPenney's in the country. Metal, acrylic, fabric, brackets and glass fixturing all find obsolescence quickly in the trend driven fashion world but Sarah could reimagine the "trash" as tables, chairs, lamps and home accessories. So began her artistic journey to upcycling. The opportunity to create with such an eclectic collection of materials was an opportunity not to be missed. Sarah will be creating workshops, classes and new design, while in-Residence at FEED, through August.
