ACP 2008 Lecture Series presenter Danny Clinch has a new video documentary about Jay-Z.

Great to see that the Forum Network has posted this video, documenting the discussion about Harry Shearer’s “The Silent Echo Chamber” with Mr. Shearer, CNN’s Jim Clancy, The Contemporary’s Stuart Horodner, and ACP’s Michael David Murphy, with the introduction from ACP’s Executive Director, Amy Miller.

ACP 9 Lecture Series presenter (and creator of current exhibition at the High Museum) Alec Soth is up-and-blogging again with “Little Brown Mushroom” and this trio of videos furthers our last post about digital storytelling. Great stuff!

On Friday night, we had our last event in the ACP 10 Lecture Series. Danny Clinch presented his work, and took questions from the audience at SCAD. Here’s Danny below, surrounded by fans. We hope to have an mp3 (at least) of Danny’s talk available here on ACP Now! for those of you who couldn’t attend.

Per this morning’s email newsletter, the ACP 10 Lecture Series event w/ Danny Clinch, originally scheduled for Oct. 16th, has been rescheduled for Nov. 7th. Same place, same time, revised Festival Guide listing.

Wanted to get the word out that Danny Clinch’s ACP 10 Lecture on October 16th has been postponed. We’ll update this space (as well as emails and the website) when we have further details.

Thank you for your understanding.

The first event of ACP’s programming is this Thursday: Christopher Bucklow, ACP 10 Lecture Series, at Rich Theater, Woodruff Arts Center.

Christopher Bucklow is widely known for the photographic silhouettes he makes using a pinhole camera. In Europe, Bucklow is also known for the ongoing series of paintings that stem from those photographs. Currently working in both media, Bucklow is exhibiting new photographs at Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, and recent paintings at Riflemaker gallery in London.

In 2004 Blindspot, New York, published a monograph on his photographs entitled “Guest”, and that same year, The British Museum published a monograph on his paintings (“Christopher Bucklow: If This Be Not I”). Bucklow also exhibits with Artereal gallery in Australia, and Mssohkan Gallery in Japan. He has recently written a book on the iconography of Philip Guston’s late paintings. His work is included in the collections of many museums across the United States.

This event is free and open to the public. Christopher Bucklow’s lecture coincides with an exhibition of his work at Jackson Fine Art. Presented with the High Museum of Art and Jackson Fine Art.
