We have quite a busy one ahead of us… and it starts on Thursday. Here goes:
Thursday, Feb. 8:
» Lecture by Greta Pratt - 7pm, Hill Auditorium, High Museum of Art, this lecture is sponsored by Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP).
Presented by the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and the High Museum of Art, photographer Greta Pratt will discuss her interest in historic iconography in America, in particular her monumental work Nineteen Lincolns, on view at the Contemporary through February 24. Nineteen Lincolns documents men who belong to the Association of Lincoln Presenters, a society dedicated to studying and portraying the life of Abraham Lincoln. While they each started this unusual occupation for a different reason, the men have all become completely immersed in the ideals of Abraham Lincoln and speak passionately about their relationship to him. Historian Howard Zinn has written that Pratt’s “extraordinary photographs give us glimpses of people and places that stimulate us to think about our history… Her point of view is delightfully antic and provocative.”
Free with High Museum admission. Free to High Museum and Contemporary members.
Friday, Feb. 9:
» TEW Galleries - opening 6-9pm. This one is especially important because fellow SCAD Grad (Painting) student Whitney Stansell is going to be in this show, and we need to show her support. We should go here first, then possibly head to…

You forgot to include “excessive amounts of mexican food” at the end of your itinerary. el kyle | Thursday, February 8, 2007 | 7:44PM that sounds like a good plan… becs | Friday, February 9, 2007 | 12:12AM i forgot to add something…. Walker- don’t forget the video!! :) becs | Friday, February 9, 2007 | 12:19AM You sure about Tew galleries? According to their website they are opening “French & Latin American Contemporary Art” and Whitney’s name isn’t mentioned… jp | Friday, February 9, 2007 | 2:45PM Whitney isn’t a featured artist… it’s her first time showing there, but I just confirmed that she will indeed be showing tonight. The current plan is to meet at the school at 6:30pm to go to APG, but we should leave fairly early in order to get to TEW Galleries with enough time.
Rebecca and I decided that we will eat somewhere besides El Azteca.=) Walker | Friday, February 9, 2007 | 3:55PM Mexican food…uhmmm…next time I’ll try to set and after party at my house with some Venezuelan food (made, sometimes, with mexican ingredients, LOL)
It’s going to be exciting tonite! I’m at the APG gallery sitting and there is plenty of good space for us! Don’t forget to bring push pins (I’m bringing a box, just in case)
