Kinsey Institute features annual Juried Art Show

·

While the Kinsey Institute for Research in Gender, Sexuality and Reproduction is more than condom studies, degrees in sexology and the advice column “Kinsey Confidential,” it is well-known for its vast collection of erotic art — portions of which are often on display in the Kinsey Gallery — and library materials. Besides the about 7,000 pieces of art in the official collection, the Institute will once again organize its annual Juried Art Show, kicking off with an opening reception Friday.

Jip Jop - Bluebird 5.8.10

Local group Jip Jop reflects on influences, origins

·

A conglomeration of styles definable by an excess of genre titles, local late-night musical sensation Jip Jop features technically-versed musicians trained by the Jacobs School of Music and influenced by old-school cassettes. Frontman Ben Gershman holds it down with concise, percussive rapping, spitting words faster than a clicking bicycle gear, with seamless transitions to melodic singing smoother than syrup. Ryan Imboden on trumpet and Davis Jones on saxophone come together to form the horn section, while the rhythm section is composed of Bobby Wooten on the five-stringed bass and Matt Margeson on the kit. Ben Bolasny on keys applies years of classical and jazz expertise to pull the whole orchestration together for local bar appearances and house parties.
