# City Parish

City Parish is a community of 4 churches in George Town, Penang. It was founded in 1988 with the merging of the four Catholic churches in the city.

## History

In the 1970s, new housing estates were opened around the city. People started moving out of George Town and the number of Catholics staying in the city had decreased greatly. From a number of 10,000 Catholics, it had shrunk to 900 Catholics in the 1990s. Also in view was the number of priests, which are also decreasing.
In 1988, the bishop of Penang, Antony Selvanayagam decided to merge the 4 churches located in George Town, namely Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, Church of the Assumption, Church of St. Francis Xavier and Church of St. John Britto into one parish named City Parish. The administration centre of the parish will be at Church of Our Lady of Sorrows at Macalister Road.

## Four churches

The four churches of City Parish are:

### Church of Our Lady of Sorrows (OLS)

The parish was established in 1888 to accommodate the Chinese Catholics of Penang Island. The church grew further and in 1958, the current church, imposing a 107-foot-high belfry, was opened. Fr. Arthur Julien, was instrumental in building the Heng Ee Primary School (next to the church) and also Heng Ee High School. Silver Jubilee (58-83) celebration of the new church was celebrated. The centenary celebrations were held in 1988. Currently, this church houses the residence of the parish priest of City Parish and also the parish office.

### Church of the Assumption (AC)

The church is the oldest church in Penang and was founded in 1786.

### Church of St. Francis Xavier (SFX)

The Church of St. Francis Xavier was founded in 1857 in Penang Road for Tamil speaking Catholics. The first church was built ten years later. With the increasing number of parishioners, the present church was completed in 1952. Today, St. Francis Xavier's Church is a mass centre and also houses the St. Joseph's Orphanage, The Lighthouse (a centre for the poor), Lighthouse Bakery, the La Salle Learning Centre and also the Catholic Information Centre.

### Church of St. John Britto (SJB)

The Church of St. John Britto was built in 1969 by Msgr IJ Aloysius. A community hall was constructed there in 1972. It is also a parish centre in City Parish.

## Organisation

The four churches of City Parish are currently administered by Reverend Father Edmund Woon as the Parish Priest.

# Dead Man (band)

Dead Man is a psychedelic rock band from Örebro, Närke, Sweden formed in 2003. The band’s sound is highly influenced by 1960s and 1970s psychedelic rock/folk rock as well as other musical genres.

## History

The band was started by Kristoffer Sjödahl (formerly of Norrsken) and Johan Rydholm. As the two jammed together a lot, they then asked Marcus Allard to join which he said yes and later that year bass player Joakim Dimberg joined to complete the band. The band’s name arose from an album by Texas rock band Josefus which was entitled Dead Man. Dead Man initially released a vinyl 7” containing two songs, "Ship Ahoy!" and "Thousand Mile Stare", recorded in a basement in the rural town of Kumla. The two songs created a buzz among stoners and hippies in the underground scene in Sweden.

### Dead Man (2006–2007)

Next, Dead Man decided to start on making their debut album. Dead Man snuck into the famous Svenska Grammofon Studion and began to work on their first album. In early 2006, with a fresh set of songs in hand, Dead Man was set to release their eponymous debut album. Released via Sweden’s Crusher Records, Dead Man was praised by Rock Hard, Metal Hammer and Stoner Rock.

### Euphoria (2007–2009)

In mid-2007, Dead Man once again entered the studio to record their second album, Euphoria. While Dead Man was successful in the underground stoner and progressive rock scene, Euphoria would awaken many more listeners.
In February 2009, Dead Man embarked on its first U.S. tour. In April 2009, Dead Man played the Afterburner of the Roadburn Festival.

## Curator

As curator of the Shredder space, Joint was a pivotal to the partnership that formed New York's Schroeder Romero & Shredder gallery. Interviewed by Art in America Magazine, the gallery's director Mark Shortliffe encapsulated the program: "The gallery will always have a strong contemporary show but will hopefully stretch how we view new art by pairing it with older, influential works. We'll show two exhibitions simultaneously: one contemporary and one historical, encouraging a dialogue between the two."
In The New York Times review of Schroeder Romero's VIVD and Shredder's PAVERS, Roberta Smith said, "The shows' invigorating call and response bodes well for future interactions between these side-by-side entities."
As an independent curator, Joint also organized Manufactured Unreality: The Art of Collage at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art
