Uncategorized Printmaker's talk promises intra-city dialog Monday
Posted by Jeremy Abernathy on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Every so often, a creative dark horse will storm through Atlanta and give the arts world a healthy shake, just when things were starting to look dull. Artist Jenny Zhang, who serves as the Atlanta Printmakers Studio's inaugural Emerging Artist in Residence, headlines a discussion panel at Apache Café Mon., July 13 at 8:30 p.m. The talk will center on issues raised by the artist's JUBA SPIDER — an edition of prints inspired by hip-hop artist Juba Kalamka, an outspoken member of the black gay community — and will feature the voices of critics Cinqué Hicks (Creative Loafing) and Felicia Feaster (The Atlantan), as well as Charles Stephens of AID Atlanta and Karen Fain of Apache Café, who will moderate the discussion. Oh, and the artist herself, of course.
The panel is interdisciplinary to say the least, covering both music and visual art, and its themes unite a surprising cross-section of Atlanta groups interested in art and social justice. Hell, even WonderRoot's involved: They're responsible for video you just watched (or should be watching, soon)!
