Great to see Creative Loafing select ACP’s Public Art Project “Paper Placemats (ATL)” as the year’s top pick for an art event! Thanks, Felicia!

The AJC’s Cathy Fox reviewed the final days of MOCA GA’s “Responding to Home” group show, which was part of ACP 9.

“Home” is a concept with more interpretations than could ever be contained under one roof. It spills out into neighborhood, community, region, country. It extends beyond architecture to topography and weather. It encompasses intangible landscapes as well: emotional, psychological, spiritual.

It’s fantastic to see even more coverage of Jason Fulford’s curated “Paper Placemats (ATL)” public art project for ACP 9. This is from today’s “Art Where You Least Expect It“, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, by Kirsten Tagami:

Customers at West Egg Cafe are used to seeing art on the walls, but lately, they’ve also seen it under their food.

Forty different color and black-and-white photographs were made into paper place mats and set out at 13 metro Atlanta restaurants last month as part of Atlanta Celebrates Photography, the annual citywide fall photo festival.

The folks at West Egg enjoyed the program so much, they’re continuing it this month and are looking for ways to make it a permanent feature, said owner Jennifer Johnson. “People were wandering around the place like it’s a gallery and peeking at the other tables,” she said. “One girl was going back to college and wanted to take a whole set. People have loved it.” (Sets or individual placemats aren’t available for sale, but those who eat at the restaurant are allowed to take them. Customers can also contact an artist or gallery to purchase prints.)
