Musical Performance by Tabi Bonney Tabi Bonney is a rising star
out of D.C. by way of the African nation of Togo. Tabis drive and
talent are unparalleled; he secured regular video rotation on MTV
and national radio play with his hit singles Nuthin But A Hero and
The Pocket, all without an official record label or distribution deal.
Tabi managed to do all this while running a successful clothing line
(Bonney Runway) and his own video production company (Cool Kids
Forever Films). His new album Fresh is his most anticipated work
yet, with tracks drawing influence from everything from r&b to indie
rock, and that span the gamut from hard street anthems to ethereal
synth-pop driven ballads. Featuring production by Kokayi, Jon
Redwine, Nesby Phips and guest appearances from Pusha T, Wale,
Raheem DeVaughn, Curren$y & more, "Fresh" is set to satisfy. Two
singles come in advance of the album, the first features one half ofthe acclaimed rap duo Clipse: Pusha T. On this instant head-nodder;
Make A Killin, Tabi and Pusha let the fans know what their grind is
all about. The second is an up-tempo electro influenced track called
Galaxy. These two records showcase Tabis amazing diversity and give a taste of what is to
come. Fresh drops November 22nd on iHipHop Distribution/FRANKRADIO.

Dave Chung Dave Chung's (aka The Chung!!) work
of cute and colorfully vibrant creatures is anobservation of the awkwardness and humiliations we
experience as we age and live as human beings. Due
to his father's job, the Chung family was always
moving around. Having grown up in fast paced
brightly colored cities such as those found in Hong
Kong and Taiwan, and then spending the later years
of his childhood in Upstate New York and the
Midwest, Dave was always new to every town he
moved to. And being the new kid to every town and
city meant many awkward and humiliating
experiences. Although the stories that embody hispaintings are generally reflections of his own unique
personal experiences, many people are able to relate
and laugh along with them. Dave has had his work
shown in galleries world wide and is currently living
in Los Angeles, California as an illustrator/Fine
Artist.

Mary SpringMarySprings figures are
at once both self portraits of the
present and projections of internal
hope for the future. Each
representation depicts the panoptic
range of mental, emotional and
physical conditions experienced in a
mere snapshot of time, enabling the
observer to merge silently into the
psyche of the artist.
From ultimate pleasure to unbearable
sadness, each expression
communicates the profound casualties
of insight. The integration of medium
and mechanics with design and spirit,
lead to the paradoxical enlightenment
and anguish portrayed at the moment each stroke is applied.
Self-realization emerges from the artist as the feminine heart, the kinesthetic demands of
performance and dedication, and the consequential strength are unveiled in each expression. Pain
synthesized into passion. Time united with eternity.

Melanie Pruitt I find solace in studying the beauty of
human history. The details of its emotional complexity to
the organic patterns of the Rocky Mountains that surround

Paul Chatem Paul Chatem was born in
1974 in Bellevue, Washington. He grew up
in La Crescenta, CA, a foothill town that
kept itself apart from the city of Los
Angeles it looked down on. This separation
between rich and poor, the lucky and the
down-and-out, has always been a
connecting theme and influence in his
paintings. After graduating from the
Kansas City Art Institute in 1997, Paul
showed his work in coffee shops and group
shows around Los Angeles. At that time
Paul
had two bodies of work, clean lined ink
work and surreal oil paintings. Both were
ambitious but seemed to be disconnected
from the other. In 2001 Paul backed off
from showing to develop his work. What
came from this was a new style that
combined aspects of those earlier works,
taking the narrative aspects and clean lines
of his comic book influences, mixed with
more painterly aspects he
developed his first solid body of work.

Paul Shih Paul Shih is an artist / designer in New
Zealand, originally from Taiwan, where culture is aheady mix of diverse influences. Paul was educated in
New Zealand, he graduated from AUT (Art and Design)
in 2004.
His work is about events, characters, and is inspired by
his surroundings to create a visual world that tells the
story. Throughout the time, Paul has developed a
unique style called Paper Diorama, which combined
illustration and photography techniques.

Peabe Born and raised in chicago and now living in
oakland. peabe started drawing at a young age due
to his grandfathers influence. as he grew, the still
life wasnt exciting to him and having drawing wars
with friends is what led to the nonsense of today.
His early inspirations were from riding the "el" as a
youngling to and from school and noticing the
awesome graffiti around him. Annoyed at how the
other train riders were ignorant of the awesomeness
around them, he began to observe everyone was
pretty much in a "zombiotic" state. this led to the
early sketches of his zombies. his characters are
emotionless zombies surrounded by a beautiful
world that he hopes they will eventually wake up to,
and some do.

Sue Works and HermLife! Like
Batman and Robin, they speaks strictly
in clipped, short, powerful expressions
of wonderment written large in neon
letters across a perpetually hazy
backdrop of pop culture references andcheap beer.
They are a neo-absurdist, a post-soda-
pop burp upon the scene who mixes
and marries humor, intellectual
hypochondria and classical thought.
Tony PhilippouTony Philippous work centers on thejuxtaposition of conflicting stereotypes. To create a
sense of harmony in a world that shouldnt be possible.
His body of paintings is based on figurative forms of
Iconic personalities that are then tightly rendered in
very loose or controlled environments. A blend of Art
Nouveau, figurative, abstract, and surrealism are fused
for a more dynamic composition.
Recently, Tony has completed a longstanding series on
the religious figures of Jeezus Piece, Judas Piece, and
The Vixen Mary. A complete remix on the Iconographyand ideology of these characters, Intending them to be
as far away from what you would expect. They are
everyday people looking fly in different stylized
settings. The halo and sacred heart symbolizing their
divinity was individualized for each character. Mary has
her heart adorned with flowers, Jeezus Piece has
thorns and Judas Piece has a snake. All halos were
meant to be design elements with contrast in color and
dynamics.
His new body of work centered off of Greek Mythology, Roman art, and New York ideology. Inwhich a variety of Mythic super heroes from huge civilizations can exist in a retroactive lifestyle
battle to see who is the Flyest.

Ursula X. Young Over the past fourteen years
Illustrator, Painter and Designer Ursula Xanthe Young
has become known for her unique flowery urban
fairytale illustrations. Graduate of Parsons School ofDesign (Illustration, BFA, New York 1996) Ursula
exhibits frequently in the bay area and has sold
paintings in New York, London, Singapore, Manila,
Hong Kong and all across the U.S. Ursula finds
inspiration in the organic yet urban landscape of San
Francisco and its surrounds; the crossed wires,
victorian buildings and fog-filled horizons, that are oft
backdrop to her brightly painted doe-eyed flower girls.
She is also highly influenced by her frequent travels to
the far-flung reaches of the globe and the variety of
colorful characters that she encounters - both real andimagined - along the way. Due to her love of electronic
music since the early 90s, and the culture that surrounds it, Ursulas art can be seen on CD &
record covers of dance music labels including Om records, Safe In Sound Music, Loveslap
recordings, 2 Block Radius & Panhandle records. Along with murals, apparel & club flyers, her art
can be spotted in magazines & ipod covers and in boutiques across the city of San Francisco and
beyond. Originating from the green rural dales of Northern England, Ursula has spent much of her
time since then traveling and has studied art in New York City, Florence, Vermont, Oslo, and
London. After ten years making her mark in the Lower Haight neighborhood of San Francisco, she
recently relocated to the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California - this time to a remote spot
in the forest - where shes busy finding a whole host of new inspirations.

Walt Hall Walt Hall was born and raised on the mean streets of
kilaminjaro. at the age of seven he stowed away onboard the hms
mcguillicuty, whose privateers had sworn a blood oath to seek and
destroy the barbary pirates. after twelve years at sea he bid
farewell to his comrades and joined up with a series of leftist
guerilla movements in the jungles of peru. although the liberation
front hated to lose his contributions, three years into the struggle
he was secretly extracted, via the underground pipeline of jesuit
missions and chinese yo-yo distribution centers, and given a new
secret mission. a mission from the very top. the objective- the
elusive double agent marco. marco was a worthy adversary
indeed, constantly slipping away just when he finally seemed
within reach. but in the end he was no match for walt hall. Aided
by his superior horsemanship and vast knowledge of local cossak
customs, he finally trapped marco once and for all inside of a
creaky church copula somewhere in south west ukbekistan and
promptly turned him over to the turnip police for a lengthy
internment on a secluded penal island thirty two minutes northwest of guam. In his spare time Walt Hall enjoys weaving over
sized afghans from the wool of his prized llama, Freddie. He also

Art Whino joins forces with Tagr Footwear once again for their third edition of Inked Souls, an
exhibition featuring customized sneakers and fine art by local, national and international leaders in
the Pop Surrealism/Urban Contemporary art movement.
The Inked Souls exhibit will spotlight the art of individual customization. Each invited artist will be
given a pair of blank AKA Tagr sneakers to bring to life with their unique style and perspective,
which ranges from urban graffiti to traditional oil on canvas, and from abstract to figurative
interpretations. Their broad spectrum of chosen technique and adaptation, contrasted with the
blank sneaker canvases promises to deliver an exciting look at the different artistic perceptions of
these talented artists. As a part of the final exhibition, the artists will also complete a canvas piece
to be exhibited above their customized sneakers so that the audience can see how theysuccessfully bridged the gap between 2-D artistry and the third-dimension.
Among the sneakers being exhibited some of them will have an opportunity to become mass
produced by Tagr which will be carried Nationwide in the Finishline retailers and Footaction
stores. Many household name celebrities wear Tagr and support the brand. The more support
Tagr receives from consumers through purchased products, the more we can support the arts.

William Christenberry: Kodachromes is the first
publication to showcase the artist's stunning and
previously unknown body of work produced with 35
mm Kodachrome slide film. Spanning from 1964 to2007, only a small number of the images have ever
been published or exhibited. As in all of
Christenberry's photographs, the subject matter is
the rural Deep South: the twisting back roads, open
landscapes, rusted signage, and ramshackle
vernacular architecture found in Hale County,
Alabama where the artist was born and raised.
Though many of the sites pictured in this rare
collection are new, other subjects grew iconic in
Christenberry's oeuvre as he has returned to
photograph them for decadesthe red building in
the forest, Sprott Church, the Palmist Sign, and the
Bar-B-Q Inn, among others. However, the
-

photographs in William Christenberry: Kodachromes,
made with a camera that allowed for greater
mobility, reveal new ways of considering
Christenberry's perennial subjects and offer further
insight into the working method of this venerable
artist. With the recent discontinuation of
Kodachrome film by Kodak, the work in this beautiful
volume is rendered even more meaningful.
William Christenberry (born in Hale County,
Alabama, 1936) has been the subject of dozens of
solo shows and exhibitions over the last forty years,
and can be found in numerous permanent collections,
including those of the Smithsonian American Art
Museum, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Modern Art
and Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New
York; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art; and Center for CreativePhotography, Tucson, Arizona. His work was the
subject of a major year-long solo exhibition at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2006.
Richard B. Woodward is an art critic based in New
York who frequently writes about photography.

Mislabeled as Terrorists: Government Inaction
Keeps Refugee Families Apart
Monday, December 2012:00-1:30 p.m
Betsy and Walter Stern Conference Center
Hudson Institute

6th Floor
Washington, DC 20005Complimentary lunch will be served.RSVP:[email protected]
During this holiday season, more than 5,000 people who
have already passed the difficult test to prove they are
refugees and are living peacefully in the United States and
untold numbers of refugees who remain in dangerous
situations abroad are wrongly being categorized by the
U.S. government as "terrorists."
A pro-democracy Burmese student who protested against the
Burmese government and was persecuted as a result, a
young Sudanese man who was forcibly abducted and
detained by a Sudanese rebel group, and a Burundian man
who gave "material support" to a rebel group when armed
rebels robbed him of four dollars and his lunch, are all
wrongly labeled as terrorists by the U.S. government.
Because of the failure of U.S. agencies to adopt the
procedures that Congress passed in bipartisan legislation spearheaded by Senators Jon Kyl and Patrick Leahy to fix
this problem in 2007, thousands of cases are being placed on
hold, leaving many to languish in limbo and be indefinitely
separated from their families.
Elisa Massimino of Human Rights First, Galen Carey of the
National Association of Evangelicals, Barrett Duke of the
Southern Baptist Convention, Wendy Wright of Concerned
Women for America, Michael Horowitz of Hudson Institute,
Melanie Nezer of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and
others will call on the Obama administration to end the
bureaucratic delays and the needless human tragedy
suffered by law-abiding persons and their families already
victimized by persecution.
