ACP Now! » ACP Around Town

ACP events are already underway, and we’re receiving exhibition and installation photos from your cameras and cameraphones alike. Thanks for sending them in!

If you attend an ACP opening, lecture, exhibition or event, we’d love to see (and share) your view. If you see a dog-eared ACP Festival Guide sitting in a car, send us a picture!

Please send your photos to us at this address:
acp11pics@acpinfo.org.
Put it in your address book so you can quickly send from your phone!

We’ll post your pics to our flickr account (and credit you, of course – or not, if you prefer) and they’ll probably make it over here to the blog, too. Thanks for participating!

Looking Again at Sternfeld’s Elephant

ACP — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:17:00 +0000

[Editor's Note] Outside of being Program Manager for ACP and running the digital side of things here, I occasionally write posts and essays for other sites that tie-in with what’s happening photographically in Atlanta.

I run insig.ht with a few photography friends around the globe, and wrote about the backstory of Joel Sternfeld’s renegade elephant photograph. The picture is currently on-view at The High Museum, in their “Look Again” exhibition and the story was shared with me by Asst. Curator of Photography Danielle Avram.

ACP’s teaming-up with Art Relish this fall to bring video content to ACP Now! that reflects the myriad of events that comprise ACP 10. This morning, ACP and Art Relish visited Emory’s Carlos Museum, which has an incredible collection of Warhol Polaroids on view through December.

Watch this space for a video interview with Margaret Shufeldt, curator at the Carlos Museum, in coming days. (And thanks to the tip from Monroe, Louisiana!)
