309 AIR MARK GUBB Closing Party
309 AIR MARK GUBB CLOSING PARTY
Sunday July 28th Doors 6:30 PM | Artist Talk at 7PM Sharp July AIR, S Mark Gubb’s, closing party will include a listening party of the Wales/Pensacola songs he’s written and recorded whilst resident, a short artists talk about his work and project, readings from local poets, followed by a live performance from Mark and Scott Satterwhite of a section of Robert Southey’s epic 1807 poem, ‘Madoc’, set to music Mark has written on his residency. This will be rounded out with a Q+A between Scott and Mark and chance to see any physical outcomes from Mark’s residency. "I’ve come here to explore a series of slightly disparate Welsh connections to the city. At one end of the scale it’s alleged that, in 1170, Prince Madoc landed just across the border in Alabama; for many years, Gulf Breeze, a district of the city, was home to the Exotic Adrian Street – a Brynmawr resident, turned world-famous Glam Rock wrestler; in 1781, The Prince of Wales redoubt was a fort used by the British in the Siege of Pensacola (they lost); and one half of the team behind Strega Nona’s – the city’s first organic, primarily vegetarian, restaurant – was Anne Jones, neé Pugh, a Welsh immigrant who moved here after falling in love with local poet, Jamey Jones, when he lived for a time in Three Cliffs Bay. This random series of connections was enough to bring me here, where I’m spending my time digging around further, with the intention of writing and recording an EP of punk tunes about these things with local musicians." ~ Mark Gubb Read a full article about his work at 309 Punk Project here. |
