Zoe Strauss. Tim Archibald. YouTube Play finalists. It’s the last week in October, and ACP has planned two great lectures this week, plus a screening of our ACP Public Art project in Grant Park, alongside finalists in the Guggenheim’s “YouTube Play” biennial of creative video.
Philadelphia-based photographer Zoe Strauss will be speaking at Atlanta Contemporary Art Center on Thursday night at 7pm. Strauss is a photo-based installation artist who uses Philadelphia as a primary setting and subject for her work. Strauss’s photographic work has included a yearly “Under I-95″ show, which took place (for ten years) beneath the Interstate highway in South Philadelphia, where she displayed her photographs on concrete pillars under the highway. In 2006, her work was included in the Whitney Biennial. Zoe Strauss was named a 2007 USA Gund Fellow and granted $50,000 by United States Artists. Zoe Strauss is the author of America, published in November 2008 by AMMO Books.
San Francisco-based photographer Tim Archibald will be speaking on Friday night at Emory University School of Medicine. Archibald’s work includes ECHOLILIA, a collaboration with his son, Eli. Together, father and son orchestrate a portrait series that depicts dreamy, intimate images not only of Eli, but of childhood itself, riddled as it is with mystery and fantasy. In doing so, Archibald documents the burgeoning of a newly charted relationship with his son. Through their creative collaboration, empowerment came to both Timothy and Eli. Timothy found a way to dial-in to Eli’s different channel, thereby breaching the previously challenging obstacle posed by his son’s autistic proclivities. And Eli found a powerful mirror both of his robust, imaginative childhood and his renewed bond with his dad.
Saturday night in Grant Park, ACP is collaborating with i45 in a public screening of the finalists from the Guggenheim’s “YouTube Play” biennial. Plus, ACP’s Public Art project “Volley”, from Monica Cook, will make its final screening of the Festival.
