Big Medium, aka Bolm Studios, is bringing some of Christopher Felver’s photography to Austin. It’s a perfect complement to the current Beat exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center. Chris Felver photographed the Beats for over 30 years as well as collected other, “images, text, ephemera, artifacts, and reminiscence,” all of which will be displayed at the exhibit. They will also be showing Felver’s short films The Coney Island of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Cecil Taylor; All the Notes, History of the Airport, and West Coast: Beat & Beyond.

You will see photographs of and texts by Kerouac, Ginsberg, Neal Cassidy, David Amram, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, Joanne Kyger, Gregory Corso, William S. Burroughs, Amiri Baraka, and Diane di Prima.

On Thursday from 6pm–10pm, Spider House will showcase Felver’s short films, and he’ll be signing copies of his latest book BEAT. The opening reception of his exhibition will be held on Saturday, April 5, from 7pm–10pm at Bolm Studios/Big Medium where Felver will also be in attendance.
