Initially trained as a painter\, she was an early pioneer in inco rporating painterly processes and handwork into her photographs. She embra ces the materiality of the photographic surface through interventions such as hand-coloring\, airbrushing\, and the application of gold and silver l eaf. Her images often blur the line between documentation and transformati on\, evoking a sense of place that is both intimate and enigmatic. \nStree tman’s work emerged alongside a broader movement of artists who redefine d photography as a fine art medium\, including Clarissa Sligh\, William Ch ristenberry\, and Eugene Meatyard. Like her contemporaries\, Streetman’s work explores memory and place\, remaining deeply rooted in the Southern landscape. \nIn addition to her artistic practice\, Streetman was an impac tful educator. She assisted in developing the photography curriculum at Fl orida State University and later founded the photography program at the Pe nland School of Craft. Her work remains a standard in the study of alterna tive photographic practices and the visual culture of the American South.

A record of sweet or fre tful acoustic strums and electronics that give every scene color and depth \, *Croz Boyce* feels like a celebration of friendship\, of the chance to share a lifetime together even if from a distance. \nHere is some requisit e biographical information for the first or third paragraph of your record review\, depending on the kind of outline you prefer: \nFive years ago\, Animal Collective released a track called “Brown Thrasher\,” part of a massive charitable compendium called *For the Birds*. It was a curious li ttle drift\, single acoustic notes acting like opened windows for rays of electronic sunshine. To divulge a little liner-notes data\, that was just Portner and Weitz\, working through their mutual adoration for a springtim e idyll. \nThe two liked the partnership and\, as the rest of their main q uartet was busy with other projects\, decided to keep going. Starting in e arly 2023\, and almost without exception\, Portner would write a guitar th eme in his Blue Ridge redoubt and send it to Weitz in the heart of D.C. He ’d react to each instrumental and send it back. Aside from a shared mixi ng session in rural North Carolina and another in Baltimore with Animal Co llective’s Josh Dibb\, that’s how easily *Croz Boyce* came together— two longtime pals passing the time by making music together. \nBut the bes t way to hear *Croz Boyce*\, really\, is to forget the backstory for 40 mi nutes\, to discard notions of why this guitar tone or that rhythmic relati onship might sound familiar. Instead\, simply listen and feel: What do the se songs remind you of or make you aspire to? \nHere are some possible int erpretations\, all but certainly incorrect in the merged mind of Weitz and Portner but valid nevertheless. \nOpener “Hanging Out with a Blueberry Pop” first feels like lounging on a riverbank with your crew\, maybe lau ghing as you pass a joint around\, baking in the sun\; the midsection is t he splish-splash of finally jumping in\, too giddy to care about the curre nt. \nMaybe it’s just the name at work\, but “Towson Acid” maps the edge of oblivion where even the plainest of facts don’t seem certain\, w here reality refracts into a dozen different images\, where even the drums you hear in the distance are maybe hallucinatory phantoms. \nAnd is close r “Banana Pudding” only these two homies messing with each other\, the space between the slow strums and the wildly teasing electronics intended to make one another (and\, hey\, us) chuckle? It works. \nBut it’s not all laughs and lounging by the water. At least half of *Croz Boyce* feels like a wordless meditation on these anxious times\, on the endless bubblin g up of bad headlines and counting down of the doomsday clock. \n“Father Karras\,” which Weitz actually started\, suggests two hands nervously r ubbed together\, its string scrapes and warped synthesizer lines and Derek Bailey guitar staking out a landscape of uncertainty. \nAnd “Steven’s Sunshine Rejected” is kind of a beautiful bummer\, isn’t it? Portner ’s down-tuned guitar and forlorn slide lines shape a gray playground for Weitz’s electronics\, which move this way and that like gusts of wind. When the pace picks up in the back half\, though\, it feels like two peopl e who simply trust one another\, reaching together for something a little better. \nTo reiterate\, this could\, of course\, all be wrong. Take this music on a hike or a walk or a lazy riverside day. Listen. Decide for your self. \nBack before Animal Collective was really called Animal Collective\ , the goal was for that loose confederation of close friends to make music together as time and personnel and circumstance allowed. Like jazz musici ans showing up for sessions\, they’d slap the name of whoever played on the cover. Branding needs intervened and\, well\, we have been blessed wit h approximately a quarter-century of Animal Collective. But the idea remai ns\, as every member of that band has always moved as a perpetual free age nt. \nWeitz and Portner were going to call this music *Geologist and Avey Tare*\, but they began this project around the time that David Crosby died . A Dropbox folder named “Croz Boys” mutated into the handle *Croz Boy ce*—not a tribute to Crosby’s music at all\, but maybe an unintentiona l tribute to the idea that there are lots of worse ways to pass your life than making music with buds. \nAgain\, though\, that could all be wrong. \ nAll ages\nEnding Time is an estimate\nTickets only sold through DICE.

For Anne painting begins with what you cannot see. She poses questions to herself before starting a painting. What is drawing me to this subject? What is the story I want to tell? What am I trying to express in each painting? No single mark is precious. No fear is allowed to enter the process behind the easel. All elements of the composition mus t work in unity. This process is critical for infusing energy into my work and allows me to respond directly to the piece as it evolves. \nAnne’s journey as an artist has been a fulfilling adventure\, leading her from fa shion and textile designer in NYC\, to teaching and developing art curricu la for children in Philadelphia and Chicago. In 2013 Anne turned her focus to fine art. After viewing a pastel exhibition at the Noyse Museum of Art in Hammonton N.J. Anne began her journey with the pastel medium. The tang ible aspects of the medium\, with the ability to draw\, paint\, layer\, an d combine with other mediums has led her on an energetic journey pushing t he qualities of pastel in her work. Anne’s work has been featured in the Pastel Journal multiple times\, Pratique Des Arts and Strokes of Genius a nd the 2022 and 2024 IAPS Souvenir Book. She has also written multiple ar ticles for the Pastel Journal and Artist Magazine. \nAnne is the past pres ident and workshop chair of the Piedmont Pastel Society. In 2019 she parti cipated in the Dueling Demonstration event at the International Associatio n of Pastel Societies convention which occurs every two years. In 2022 and 2024 Anne was invited back to be one of the faculty artists to demonstrat e her techniques at the convention. Anne holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and currently lives in Pickens\, South Carolina.
