Daniel Bozhkov: A Survey, Greta Pratt:
Nineteen Lincolns, and Camille Norment
Main and Left Galleries
Daniel Bozhkov: A Survey
Daniel Bozhkov is a Bulgarian artist whose extreme
conceptual acts incorporate performance, painting,
photography and research; creating complex meditations
on culture, politics, and consumerism. This exhibition
is developed with curator Regine Basha and ArtHouse
in Austin, Texas.
In conjunction with this exhibition, Bozhkov will
create an Atlanta version of his Fastest Guided
Tours of Unfamiliar Places, an ongoing work
begun in 2003
.
Saturday, January 6, at 2 pm
Come join artist Daniel Bozhkov as he leads a
Fastest Guided Tour of Unfamiliar Places.
Starting promptly at the CNN Center at 190 Marietta
Street, the tour examines the downtown Atlanta
area at an energetic pace. It will last for approximately
1 hour, and is a wonderful opportunity to interact
with the artist, friends, strangers, and the city
itself.
Fastest Guided Tour of Unfamiliar
Places These running tours are designed
to break the authoritarian voice of a well-informed
guide and create a space where participants can
contribute their own knowledge of place and local
history.
Wear comfortable clothes and sensible shoes that
you can move briskly in. Rain or shine. FREE.
Gallery Four
Greta Pratt: Nineteen Lincolns
In her monumental work Nineteen Lincolns,
Pratt documents men who belong to The Association
of Lincoln Presenters. 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.”
Round Gallery
Camille Norment
For her installation at the Contemporary, Camille
Norment will respond to the unique special elements
of the Round gallery to create a new version of
Driftglass, a work that examines issues
of self-consciousness and the politics of the gaze.
Norment’s Apparition is a wallpaper
installation that pictures a verdant landscape of
trees reflected in water. The symmetry of the image
projects various kinds of doubling, from top to
bottom and side to side, connecting to the artist’s
use of mirrors, and her inquiry into states of reflection
and obfuscation.
Ongoing -- the Resource Room, designed by Charles
Goldman
The Resource Room is a social and educational meeting
space designed by sculptor Charles Goldman. Information
about exhibitions, lectures, and various contemporary
art events are available in the community oriented
space.
