ONEderful: Angela James + Selina Trepp + Ends
@ Constellation Chicago
3111 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Wednesday, March 19th, at 8:30PM
Angela James’ voice elicits comparisons to classic country artists Patsy Cline and Hazel Dickens, while her emotionally forthright songwriting and penchant for experimentation place her directly in the present. Over the span of 4 records and a 10 year career, her work speaks to horizons in progressive Americana in a way that feels both indebted to and freed from the strictures of time. Her music has been called “smoldering and gorgeous” by the Chicago Reader and featured in the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and Tiny Mix Tapes (RIP), among others. Her latest project is a conceptual cycle of songs imagining the lives of her matrilineal ancestors she’s never met. Born and raised in TN, with sojourns in Mississippi and Brazil, James lives in Chicago with partner, visual artist/organizer Jordan Martins, and is a proud caregiver to an eight-year-old daughter.

SELINA TREPP is an artist researching economy and improvisation. Finding a balance between the intuitive and conceptual is a goal. “If in doubt be radical” is the best advice she ever got.
She works across media, combining performance, installation, painting, and sculpture to create intricate setups that result in photos, drawings and animations.
In addition to the studio-based work, Selina is active in the music scene. In this context she sings and plays the videolah, her midi controlled video synthesizer, to create projected animations in real-time as visual music. She performs with a varying cast of collaborators and as one half of Spectralina, her long running audiovisual collaboration with Dan Bitney.
