Marker #15; Visioneers at Brooks; Architects at the Cotton Museum

Marker #15 is in front of the Mid-South Cotton Growers Association Building on Monroe just east of Front. Cotton and Architecture seem to be a loose theme today as you will see later in the post.

Owing to the fact that the last two Micro Cinema Club screenings I attended at Power House were so outstanding, I am looking forward to Thursday night in Midtown. Indie Memphis and Brooks Museum of Art are hosting the Memphis premiere of "Visioneers" this Thursday, July 16th at 7:30 pm at the Brooks Museum.

The Indie Memphis website describes this feature film as: "a quirky black comedy set in the near-future concerning a curious spike in cases of spontaneous human combustion. The Jeffers Corporation is the largest business in the history of mankind, and they got that way thanks to their strict philosophy of happiness through mindless productivity. But when people begin literally exploding, Jeffers Corporation Level Three TUNT George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach Galifianakis) begins to fear that his time will come sooner rather than later."

Admission is $5/ Free for Indie Memphis and Brooks members.

Also this Thursday at noon, architects Joey Hagan and David Schuermann of Architecture, Inc. will present “Let’s Talk Architecture and Preservation” at the Cotton Museum, 65 Union Avenue (at Front). A slideshow and discussion will center on some of the challenges their firm has faced in making solid re-adaptive use choices in redevelopment of structures that are over one hundred years old. The focus will be on some of their projects in the neighborhood around the Cotton Museum, as well as a few other buildings in the area.
