Photo Awesome

Yo! Friday and Drew (lab monitors in the Cave) have a show tomorrow TONIGHT in Castleberry Hill. It’s called Centophobia - the fear of new ideas and creativity. I really want to go because they rock and I wonder what they’ve been making.

Opening Reception - Wednesday, 28 February 2007
7 pm - 10 pm
City of Ink
323 Walker St.
ATL, GA 30313

I want to know who’s going because I definitely think it’ll be cooler than all the other (somewhat) boring shows.

So I just read about “caffeinol.” Yes, coffee developer. I make no claims for its effectiveness. You gotta love the Brits. Maybe this is a good exercise for something like a B&W Craft class, if someone were looking for something to do..? Try it, if you dare…

Availability for one intern
The Department of Photography is seeking an undergraduate or graduate student who is interested in assisting in the research that is required for the preparation of an exhibition entitled, Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956–1968, which will be on view at the High Museum in the summer of 2008. The High’s exhibition is planned for 2008, which marks the fortieth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. It will consist of an unprecedented gathering of approximately one hundred forty prints and related artifacts and ephemera, drawn primarily from the High’s collection but also including loans from important public and private collections. Many of the photographs have never been on public view. The photographs will have extensive captions providing information about the people and events portrayed, and explaining how the images were made and used. The internship will focus on gathering and synthesizing the information required to create the educational materials for the exhibition (e.g. object labels and other gallery texts), and for the supporting publication. Skills and requirements include: mature, directed student who can work independently; good library and research skills; motivation to track down primary resources (e.g. newspapers, microfilm, and oral history accounts); excellent writing skills; working knowledge of Word and Excel.

The final installment in the series. However, this one starts with a “forgotten segment” from Day 4.

Reception for Benny Andrews Exhibition
Thursday, March 1, 2007, 6-8pm
Trois Gallery, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Georgia

The exhibition features drawings by the late Andrews, a noted black artist whose work included collage, painting, sculpture, prints, writing and book illustrations. Andrews’ strong relationship to the human spirit is thoughtfully portrayed in this group of drawings; each describing a unique juxtaposition of sensitivity and strength, and finding a relationship with the viewer. Andrews’ works on paper remain a fascinating part of his dynamic oeuvre and showcase his illustrative brilliance.

Hey guys.
There’s a new movie out called Factory Girl- about Andy Warhol and his life and etc. I thought it might be nice if we all went to see it at some point… maybe next week sometime if we want to take a break from something. Anyway, just an idea, so let me know, because I definitely want to see it. -r

PS - its only playing at the midtown art cinema… here’s the link with the times: link
