The Bronx Museum of the Arts is pleased to present White Outs, an exhibition by artist Eddie Martinez, which will be on view November 14, 2018 through February 17, 2019. Widely recognized for his large-scale paintings, Martinez has built a consistent body of work over the last decade, successfully merging the tradition of American abstract painting with the energy of the street. These paintings began as Sharpie drawings, then were blown-up, silkscreened, and painted over in a careful, yet unfailingly dynamic, process of layering and expansion. In these new works, created especially for this exhibition, Martinez introduces a new element to his process-the "whiting out" of parts of the composition. It is a move that represents a significant turning point in his career.

Juno-winner Kinnie Starr has released 'I'm Ready'; an empowered, reflective pop track that channels the hope and power that comes from making difficult decisions that allow one to move forward. The lyrical hook is as simple and effective as the production that drives the song into a toe-tapping summer jam with the stirring refrain '...I'm ready to walk away, I'm ready, yeah it's a good day...' Producer, Doug Romanow, leaves space for Kinnie's airy vocal flow to fully inhabit each verse then unleashes flickering synths and an irresistible toe-tapping beat to create a truly uplifting chorus. The addition of a gritty verse from Canadian rapper Spek brings a dynamic twist to the track and a fresh perspective on challenges that need to be left behind.
