“LADY ADHD”: Hilarious Observations from a Hyper-Insightful Mind + Cat Ladies, UNITE! “LADY ADHD” leaps from the perpetual-motion mind of comedian, quirky genius, and overall rather loud person, Blaire Postman. Part Stand Up, part Ted Talk, the show is an unexpected, high-energy tour of her neurodivergent brain, her signature flip-chart stand-up comedy pieces, and unexpected clarity she’s received about the world and herself where they overlap. Imagine if all the open tabs on your computer from a weekend of spiraling down Wikipedia rabbit holes were then woven into a cogent and brutally funny theory about the brain, art, Americana, the boxes we try to force ourselves and others into, and the humor and self-appreciation that can help us break free of them.

“LADY ADHD” will be at Central Cinema in Knoxville on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at 7PM, preceded by a meet and greet/mini performance at Scruffy’s Cafe on Tuesday, September 12.

This time she’ll be joined by special guest, musical comedy duo, GRIEFCAT. Their hilarious songs – including the viral hit “Revolution! (Poop at Work)” (admired by none other than Questlove & approaching 2 MILLION views on TikTok)– have a unique sound akin to Flight of the Conchords, mixed with a little Dolly Parton and an indie flair. Their music has been featured by ABC News and NPR, and are favorites at venues like the legendary 9:30 Club (Washington, DC), the Grey Eagle (Asheville, NC) & Rockwood Music Hall (NYC).

Local-scape is an exhibition of works illustrating the beautiful and poetic places in and around East Tennessee. These places have inspired Berry to use his own personal language of color and composition to create unique works that are created from everyday scenes to become a work of the local-scape. These works fix one's memory onto one particular moment that in turn inspires a thousand interpretations of place or experience through expressive color application. Mike Berry received his M.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art & Design in 1997, and has been managing the University of Tennessee Downtown Gallery since 2004. Berry’s artwork has been exhibited regionally, including solo and group exhibitions throughout the southeast during the last 20 years. Berry maintains a studio in Knoxville TN and works with private collectors and corporate businesses on commissioned pieces. Berry also is the official framer for the Beauford Delaney Estate located in Knoxville. Knoxville has been the main subject of Berry’s work for more than a two decades and he has made Knoxville his home since 1999.

Linda Sullivan has a Bachelor of Arts and Math from the University of Evansville (Indiana) and a Master of Fine Arts from Northern Illinois University where she focused on glaze chemistry and glaze testing. Her functional pottery has evolved to include interpretations of landscapes through the glazing process. All her glazes are self developed and poured to overlap each other in a painterly way. She especially draws inspiration from the landscapes of the Southwest.

Works will be on view in the Schilling Gallery Monday-Thursday, 9-4; and Friday, 9-noon.
Westminster Presbyterian Church Schilling Gallery, 6500 Northshore Drive, Knoxville, TN 37919
