CONTEMPORARY WOMEN: Self Reflections

Arts for All Gallery at VSA arts of Georgia

Featuring work by: Talia Azure, Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn, Emily Elkind, Rachel Evans, Katharine Hartwig Dahl, Erin Palovick

Exhibition: Tue, Aug 18 to Fri, Oct 23 2009

What defines a woman of the twenty-first century? Rachel Evans is an Atlanta based artist and a SCAD-Atlanta graduate student who has explored such questions in her collaborative and community-oriented art endeavors during the past five years. Within our diverse society one common thread all people share is the impulse for creative expression. Working in collaboration with a variety of women with mental and physical disabilities, Ms. Evans’ goal is to share the stories of women who face the challenge of living with disability, and to raise public awareness in the community. Each participating artist creates a collaborative, mixed-media self-portrait, utilizing acrylics on canvas in combination with photographic processes. Each artist will also have the opportunity to create a statement to accompany her completed piece. This exhibit will challenge viewers to investigate their personal views and beliefs concerning women in American society, and the definition of disability in our culture. Art patrons will be offered insight into the lives, struggles and achievements of women with disabilities. The individual artists will have an opportunity to share their stories and creativity.

Palimpsest Portraits Neil Fried and Monica Duncan

Marcia Wood Gallery

Featuring work by: Monica Duncan, Neil Fried

Exhibition: Thu, Sep 10 to Sat, Oct 17 2009

Neil Fried (Atlanta) and Monica Duncan (San Diego) present Palimpsest Portraits, a video project using a technique the artists have termed ‘encaustic video’. The traditionally linear format of the video process is altered by Duncan and Fried as they use a process wherein real-time image processing siphons off portions of the video stream into a reservoir of computer memory that either fades of fixes, according to degrees of luminosity in the scene. Like the palimpsest, some areas must be rubbed out to admit the new, but are never totally lost. The video portraits to be presented in Palimpsest Portraits are the initial stage of larger project that will culminate in a video piece wherein the characters inhabit architectural forms in site-specific, interactive performance in a city that resembles Atlanta.

The Music Seen

Apres Diem

Featuring work by: Perry Julien

Exhibition: Tue, Sep 15 to Wed, Nov 4 2009

Perry Julien's passion for music and photography came together for the first time as a teenager photographing Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden. He now photographs for Creative Loafing Magazine and Stomp and Stammer Magazine as their contributing music photographer.

When not photographing music, Julien is often photographing to music, focusing his camera on intriguing people and shooting alternative fashion. His images reflect the creative interaction with the people he photographs. His work has been described as "a perspective leaving the viewer with unanswered questions and wanting to see more". He is continually seeking ways to push the boundaries of his photography and explore new ways to capture unique and compelling images.

Ground Score

Get This! Gallery

Featuring work by: Bill Daniel

Exhibition: Fri, Sep 18 to Sat, Oct 31 2009

Ground Score traces the unpredictable course of a self-taught artist who was originally turned on to the practice of documentation while participating in the skate/punk scene of Austin in the early 1980s. Included in this trip are records from a 20-year obsession with traditional rail graffiti, a bike messenger’s eye view of San Francisco’s graffiti that presaged a movement called “The Mission School”, and a range of large-format work resulting from a science and myth-based appetite for apocalyptic landscapes.

Bill Daniel’s work is traditional silver-based and represents his conviction and dedication to pre/post digital photography. He is also known for his filmmaking, “Who is Bozo Texino?” and is the author of a book on rail graffiti, “Mostly True.”

Jefferson Pinder's "Lazarus"

SALTWORKS

Featuring work by: Alejandro Aguilera, Kojo Griffin, Jefferson Pinder

Exhibition: Fri, Sep 18 to Sat, Oct 31 2009

Washington DC-based video artist Jefferson Pinder exhibits his newest performance video, “Lazarus”. Pinder presents visually engaging video work as a form of quiet activism. The human experience is revealed as a poetic journey and beauty is often found in the mudane. Pinder’s work was most recently featured in the “After 1968” exhibition at the High Museum of Art in 2008.

In “Lazarus”, a huddled mass of pedestrians spring into action to collectively move a seemingly immobile vehicle. This impromptu tribe of activists forms an intense juggernaut as Pinder guides the force from the seat of the rusty powdered blue car.

This video piece is his latest installment of the Inertia Cycle series in which Pinder documents intense physical tasks as an abstract metaphor for social struggle.

Combined with the power of the cell phone's instant abilities, this project, co-produced by Christian Bradley-West and Susan Todd-Raque, gives a forum for artists to speak visually in a way people have never been able to do so until now. The artistic process for these living diaries began in June 2009 and continued for 8 weeks. Participating artists are from across the U.S. and Europe.

Ephemeral Musings: Work from and Inspired by the Afromestizo Communities of LaCosta Chica, Mexico

Wendy Phillips' conceptual work is informed and inspired by the ethnographic research project she has been doing with women of African and North American indigenous descent in the communities of the coastal states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, Mexico.

La Limpia Project was inspired by what she learned about Afromestizo women’s conceptualization of illness and their rituals related to healing. In this series, her body is the location of the rituals, and her photographs include the ritual objects and symbols the women use in their traditional practices.

La Sombra Series refers to the traditional Afromestizo belief that illnesses and instances of spiritual disharmony and disequilibrium occur when an aspect of an individual called La Sombra, (also known as the soul, or shadow) becomes lost or endangered. The images also represent her musings about the symbols that represent the feminine archetype.

La Costa Chica Series includes images made in the Afromestizo community of Juchitan, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico.

A Time to Dance

Georgia Perimeter College

Featuring work by: Marti Griffin

: Wed, Sep 23, 5pm - 7pm

Inspiration for the title of this dual exhibit comes from a classic and widely quoted passage.

"…A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance..." - Ecclesiastes 3:1.

What better way to depict certain aspects of life? People or places... doesn't seem to make any difference. It is all a matter of time. We become, have our time, then we are gone. One side of the gallery shows Backstreet, a former Atlanta nightspot, while the other side highlights some of my favorite funerary art images that have attracted my eye during brief travels. The nightclub Backstreet took on a life of its own and what an exciting life it was! Open twenty-four hours seven days a week for almost thirty years, there was never a dull moment. It was a place where much laughing and dancing was enjoyed by all its many patrons! Funerary art, on the other side, is a passion of mine. Cemeteries fascinate me with all the magnificent art, each piece created to honor someone. Of course, they are renowned places of weeping and mourning. After all, it is the final dance.

Business or Pleasure:
Photographs by Sarah Dorio

Sunrise Bank of Atlanta

Featuring work by: Sarah Dorio

Exhibition: Thu, Sep 24 to Tue, Dec 1 2009

Officials ask every international traveler, “Is your trip for business or pleasure?” Since childhood, Sarah Dorio has dreamed of traveling to historic places around the world. Her fascination with the mystery and romance of old world hotels and historic landmarks is evident in this dream-like series from Cairo, Giza, Sharm el-Sheikh, Rome, Milan, Bellagio and Petra, made over three years. Working with a vintage camera found on eBay, Dorio uses a vivid color film called Kodak Portra. She focuses her old camera on abstract segments of famous places that seem to fit together like puzzle pieces and ancient memories. The end result feels more like rich watercolors with softened edges, evoking moods that are both contemporary and timeless. Each image is a pure representation of the original negative and none have been manipulated digitally.

Artist Lecture by LaToya Ruby Frazier

Hagedorn Foundation Gallery

Featuring work by: LaToya Ruby Frazier

Artist Lecture: Thu, Sep 24, 7pm - 8pm

The Notion of Family, Work by LaToya Ruby Frazier (b. 1983). Frazier's art explores her relationship with her family, similar to artists Doug Dubois and Leigh Ledare. The content, style, and immediacy of her work lead the viewer to assume she is documenting from the outside. In reality, Frazier is in front of the lens exposing her family and herself. Frazier is both content and photographer. Her work blurs the line between self-portraiture and social documentary. LaToya Ruby Frazier has been an artist in residence at Art Omi, The Center for Photography at Woodstock and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her works have been exhibited at the National Academy Museum, The New Museum, Higher Pictures, Rush Arts Gallery and Schroeder Romero Gallery. She is currently exhibiting works at the Bronx Museum.
