Guest Curating: I Blogged a Week on the Burnaway Tumblr

Merry Christmas.

Today ends my week as guest curator on the Burnaway Blog. I'd be grateful if you went over and had a look. If you do Tumblr, maybe you can do some reblogging. If you've never seen Tumblr - well - this is your chance.

I did 28 little Tumblr posts over there, go see.



Burnaway is an online arts magazine here in Atlanta. The Burnaway folks help make Atlanta a more interesting place. It's where I go for my to-do list.



"BURNAWAY is an Atlanta-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing critical coverage and dialogue about arts in Atlanta and the Southeast since 2008."

Artists Terri Dilling and Mark Leibert at Sandler Hudson Gallery

My December 10 gallery hop continued at Sandler Hudson Gallery in the same building as Octane at the corner of Howell Mill and Marietta on Atlanta's Westside.


A very good crowd.


On the left is Mark Leibert, co-founder and Director of Kaikoo Media. I really liked his work on paper; one of which were are blocking in this picture.


Mark's glider provided some masculine relief; the tree an uncannily soft filigree.


I love this little orange work on paper.


Here is Terri Dilling in front of her screen-print and mixed media on panel, "Come Together" which seems to have a positive/negative thing going. I didn't notice it until I had time to stare at the photo.


Terri's diptych "Fluctuation"


When you go to Sandler Husdon Gallery, make sure to visit the roof top deck. There is a view and there might be some art. This is Terri's helix "tree" with paper flowers.


Folks were wondering what in the world I was doing with my camera shooting from the sidewalk. I was too.


Thanks to to Terri, Mark, and Sandler Hudson Gallery. There work will be there until January 8, 2010.

I regret that I've not yet met the proprietors, Robin Sandler and Debbie Hudson.

Artists: 2009 Telephone Factory Art Show Atlanta

I'm participating in Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Thanks to Susan! This used to be a telephone factory and it was built to last. Now it's an art, design, and coolness factory. Once a year we get a look inside. Design fans, you'll want to see the a few pictures of a French style collection in the postscript.

Fun art...


In this beautiful industrial building:


In lofts like this:


I did the Telephone Factory Art Show on Sunday. (I did the Fulton Cotton and Bag Mill tour on Saturday). Mark your calendar for next year: First weekend in December, great loft buildings, great lofts, great art, great people, great time.

Oragami by Nate Moore at Emily Amy

My last gallery hop for 2010 started with Nate Moore's reception at Emily Amy Gallery. I love how the Emily Amy Gallery space lets me see things from many perspectives.

I had no idea. When the shapes are the same, it frees the eye to see other things. You should go. Emily Amy is on the Westside, across the street from Octane and Sandler Hudson Gallery.


There is one wall of wood shapes, the rest are paper.


Nate, an occasional Atlantan, is now based in Little Rock. He paints and he does these.


Lot's of ways to put them together.


Nate told me he starts with a sheet "about normal sized." Folks said he could do the folds in about a minute.


Some flew solo. What did the original paper look like?


Each one of these deserved a close look.


There was a box full ...


... launching them toward the ceiling.


I love the pastels.


This 49 second video shows how beautiful some of the papers are. Can you see the different shade of blue in the last 3 columns?


Thanks.

Fulton Bag Mill Artists

On December 5 I took the loft, art tour, and historical tour of "The Stacks" aka Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill in Cabbage Town Atlanta. I took more than 140 pictures. Here are just a few of the artists.

Bamby Ray, Historic Preservation Consultant for the restoration/conversion of the mill gave a tour. Bamby is in red, the baby is in blue.


The mill is beautiful. I'll cover more in another post:


This is artist / designer Amanda Dashwood


Artist Mark Boomershine:


Mark showed in a loft with an amazing tower room (see the stairs though the arched doorway?)


Artist Thelma Gomilas' watercolors look like aged photographs:




Artist Marlis Cornett paints and etches...


and showed in a loft featuring this amazing car part lamp by John Stephenson and wow table and sofa combination:


Artist: Emer (a.k.a. Chad Joseph Reilly) put his work in context




Photographer Terrell Clark (left) is the Mill's resident photographer shown here with his better half:


Terrell showed in this roomy entrance hall / kitchen / gallery.


Artist / designer Ashley Ogburn's place was DONE.


Ashley had the only antler headboard on the tour:


Architect / professor Ed Akins built out his loft in high, woody style; the glass and metal balcony wall felt safe yet showed off the loft from above and below.


Artist James S. Durtschi's traditional painting and loft design were are breath of fresh air.




I hope to blog about the mill and the lofts someday soon.


Thanks,
Terry
