I wish I were in Louisiana to go to this talk, but for all of you who are still in Atlanta and want to make the trek, here’s the info:

Douglas Weathersby: Artist Talk
“The Human Nest Project”   Thursday, September 24, 6:30 p.m.
Reception and Project Viewing to follow

Free and open to the public
Boston-based conceptual artist Douglas Weathersby is the Masur Museum of Art’s first Artist in Residence.  Weathersby owns and operates EnvironMENTAL SerVICES (ES), a cleaning and home repair company that blurs the lines between art and everyday life.  His practical work becomes performances, which are captured through photography and video.  Weathersby brings an artist’s eye to these everyday tasks, such as creating sculptural installations with dust or ethereal videos from falling paint scrapings. 

The Body as Media Show

SCAD will present an evening of art to include video and performance at Studioplex, suite 143, Sept 25th, from 6:00-8:30. THE BODY AS MEDIA exhibition will feature graduate and undergraduate work chosen by Professor Anderson. The work includes the body or features a body as a political, social, deconstructed element utilizing the artist’s blood, family videos, live performance or documentation of a longer term lived process. Artists included: McCalla Hill, Deidra Tyree, Jonathan Terranova, Shannon Riddle, Gillian Zagorski, Callie Chinn.

SCAD student, faculty and alumni photographers are invited to submit entries for a juried exhibition to be held in conjunction with this year’s Atlanta Celebrates Photography event. The exhibition is Oct. 17 at Atlantic Station.

The show’s title “Minus” represents how women and minorities are underrepresented in the art world.  Works will be of multiple mediums, including painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography, and deal with issues of identity: gender, sexuality, culture and the body.  This group exhibition is designed to manifest the influence of the “minority” on contemporary culture and on the art world.

Some of you guys met my friend Logan a few years ago when he came to visit Atlanta. I recently attended his MFA thesis exhibition at Artspace 111 in Fort Worth, TX titled Identity Crisis. Here’s my interview with him.

Just want to let all the people who contacted me know that I dropped your work off in Savannah last Thursday morning. Sorry I heard that some of you were not able to get in touch at the email address I left. I don’t know why that would happen, I’ve never had any problems with that email in the 10 years I’ve been using it. I wish I could have helped everyone, this is the best I could do on short notice.

I’m going to Savannah very early on Thursday morning and can take your Silver and Ink work. However, you have to get it to me.
I will be on campus today from 11 to 1:30. If you don’t see me then, you will have to come to my house to drop it off NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY AT 8 P.M. Let me know if you need my address.

I have no idea how the work will get back here.

This is an Awesome photo.

Hey all, I’ve combined all the Silver & Ink paperwork into a single PDF.

Below is the Exhibition paperwork that must be completed and taped (along with your CD containing your image in TIFF format @300ppi @ 12 inches on the longest side) to the back of your framed piece.

Exhibitions will transport all work from Atlanta to Savannah, all pieces MUST be framed and ready to hang.  The work must be dropped off to Justin Ayars on Tuesday 4/14.  See below for the location of Justin’s office. This is the only opportunity to drop off the work. If you miss this date you will have to ship your work yourself.  

“The students are free to drop their work off in the area near my desk. I’m in the group of offices to the right of the mailroom, on the 1st floor.” – Justin Ayars

Each student who is sending their work must email me: 
Artist name
Title
medium
year
Retail price (see the calculation for to determine this accurately)
