The Man Who Saw Too Much (2016), 1:29, Directed by Trisha Ziff
Even as a child, Enrique Metinides was obsessed with images, photographing car accidents in his Mexico City neighborhood and snapping pictures at the local morgue. Tabloids soon started publishing his photos, beginning his three-decade career as a crime photographer. Through Metinides’s compelling work, which often captures not only gruesome scenes of human tragedy but also the curious reactions of onlookers, Trisha Ziff explores our morbid fascination with death and accidents.

Kenny Harris: Envisivivarium: Opens to the Public

On view May 7—June 19, 2022

Kenny Harris creates works that examine the cultural and psychological connectivity of mythology through whimsical, graphic, and figurative forms. An amalgamation of the words “envision” and “vivarium” (a collection of living beings for the purpose of observation), Envisivivarium features works from Harris’s “Imagimenagerie” series, which explores the universality of belief systems around the world through stark black and white figural drawings made into paper sculptures. Amassed together on shelves in sometimes overwhelming numbers, the sculptures address the diversity and ingenuity of the human mind.

Dear Momma, Mothers Day R&B Concert

A few of R&B's BIGGEST stars are coming together for a special lineup of performances: K. Michelle, Carl Thomas, and VEDO will all be performing during the Dear Momma, Mothers Day R&B Concert on Saturday, May 7, 2022, 8:00 pm, at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, New York.

Ready Entertainment is bringing R&B fans incredible live performances from the genre's most iconic artists.

Throughout the show, each artist is expected to perform their biggest hits and fan favorites, and as Carl Thomas said himself, this is one show "you don't want to miss."

More About the Artists

K. Michelle is an R&B singer who blends searing honesty with modern soul music, Memphis-born K. Michelle reveled in her fully realized self in her music and on TV during the 2010s and ’20s. K. Michelle signed her first record deal in 2009; her first single was the jittery collaboration with hip-hop doyenne Missy Elliott “Fakin’ It,” but its attendant album was canceled because of a label-reorganization shuffle. K. Michelle took that as an opportunity, though, releasing a series of mixtapes that had her playing around with current R&B hits and, in 2012, joining the cast of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. That upped her profile, and in 2013 she released her major-label debut, Rebellious Soul, which showcased her versatile lyricism and formidable voice on tracks like “Can’t Raise a Man” and “Pay My Bills.” Since then, she’s balanced her reality-TV notoriety with increasingly strong albums that have revealed the breadth of her musical background. More Issues Than Vogue, released in 2016, invited Jason Derulo along for the ride on the whooping “Make the Bed,” while 2020’s All Monsters Are Human brought a bit of country twang into the mix on “All the Lovers” and some bedroom vibes to a New Edition classic on “The Rain.”

Carl Thomas is a gifted R&B singer whose cool but passionate style is a solid match for his flexible vocal abilities. Signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records in the late ’90s, Carl Thomas shined bright with #1 Platinum singles like 2000’s “I Wish.” In 2001, Thomas earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Can’t Believe,” a song he recorded with Faith Evans. His second album, Let’s Talk About It, arrived in 2004 and went gold. Thomas—along with Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, and Gerald Levert—earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Everyday (Family Reunion),” off the soundtrack to Tyler Perry’s 2006 film Madea’s Family Reunion. Since parting with Bad Boy, he’s released the albums So Much Better (2007) and Conquer (2011).

VEDO is an American R&B singer/songwriter with a smooth, romantic style reminiscent of Usher, who acted as his coach on the fourth season of NBC's The Voice. He released three albums and notched a handful of highly streamed singles, but it was 2020's moody "You Got It" from his fourth album, For You, that became VEDO's breakthrough hit.
